Jungle river island (thanks wrpedit)

[carlw 0]

i'll release this as soon as i figure the .cpp and .pbo stuff out, so within a day or two.

it'll have more trees, and some VC style villages

and an Airstrip

plus more complete looking rice paddies.

since ofp doesn't support bridges, put really shallow sections of water in the road and make a sign that says FORD

Thank you WRP edit, finally we can make maps to our specifications, no matter how sick and twisted those specifications may be!!

Nice but the only way to cross that would be having an Amphibious Vehicle

those are meant to be rice paddies they'll look better by the time i'm done.

there is actually a river that feeds into there from behind which you can't see in the screen

i hope people get motivated and make their own maps, ofp is finally exciting again

what i did, is made a copy of intro.wrp

and backed it up and just started editing from the desert island instead of starting from scratch.

haven't run into any problems.

making it into an addon that people can download might be tricky though.

thats where the bmp and m113 comes in, they are amphibious tanks/transports

oh, and its by a-lone-wolf

[STS_SolidSnake 0]

it would only work in MP Test and in Resistance

DUH!

[bn880 5]

Nice!

Ya but MP Test will eventually become an official release.

Is there a way to get our hands on that bridge?

[Antichrist 0]

Looking pretty good!

[Lukin 0]

use the zodiac boat

[Major Fubar 0]

...or the Higgens, or BMP/BMP-2.

Island is looking awesome...please don't let it be another "almost finished" mod that disappears into the mists of time.

[N.o.R.S.u 0]

Looks very nice, and for the tutorial check this site http://www.ciahome.net/modules....EditTut

What's worrying me now is that, just like addons, we're going to being experiencing what might accurately be called the "Thousand Islands" disease.

Everyone's going to start making Islands and then missions for specific islands and we're all going to have to start downloading numerous islands and addons just to play anything.

I think I scared myself.

I agree. I refuse to stick any more island.pbo files in my addons directory unless those islands are extremely well done with bridges and everything (or extremely realistic looking rice paddies). Stuff like that.

Already I'm running into the problem of making missions using addons that are kick ass but that I can't release because each mission is between 10-20 megs in size due to all the addons required which I prefer to pack with it. The other solution is just to make a list of all the addons, but often I miss one and get a stream of "I get this error about some addon not found. What is it and where do I get it?" type emails.

But I don't think there's anything we can do about that.
