Where could it be?

Recently saw Black Hawk Down and loved it,now of course you know I want to recreate it!! Damn!! I can't recreate it without a map that has a nice size city on it for that good ol' urban warfare. Also, on the addon sights that I know of I don't see any Somali militia or those pickup trucks with the 50 cals mounted on them that the militia drove around the city! Out of all the cool add ons out there, that movie made me recognize that there are no Islands with big cities. Could one of you slick Island makers and skin makers pleeeeze make an Island where there can be urban warfare and the Somali militia?? If I could do it myself I would but I'm still reading up on how to create and honestly I'm not getting it. I know you all have seen the movie and you can't make me believe that it didn't inspire you.I know it did. Lets get that city and the militia goin' on. Thanks.

Ay Speeeedy!! Tell me it ain't so. Are you tellin' me that Resistance is going to have a big city on the island?? You seen some screen shots? If so, thanks for the good news.

Two points about make a BHD mission:

1) Several have already been made. One example can be found at Miles Teg GD's OFP Missions Page.

2) If you make your own big town, which is not integral to an island WRP file, be aware that many have failed before because of the immense lag this creates when playing. This has been much discussed already.

If you create the city in WRP edit the lag will be much less.

That's part of what I said. Whatever you make in WrpEdit is an integral part of the island WRP file you've created.

Then you have to be aware that many people are going to balk at downloading a mission that requires an island addon. Just imagine everyone starting to do this.

Well, don't think that will be mush of a problem, since the new ilands are (mostly) under 100 kb. So i don't think that is something to worry about!

That is a problem though I think that if the mission and / or island is good people won't be too bothered dowloading it if the island is included in the zip with the mission.

I would wait till he puts out version 2.

Miles has a Winter Chechnya mission. Because so many people, even with good systems, grumbled, he put out a Lite version.

You could always contact him and gripe/ask.

Yeah I apologize for that. I need to put a HUGE warning on that mission stating that it requires a very hefty CPU.

I'm trying to reduce the lag with a respawn script but I'm having some problems with it. Hopefully someone will make a desert island with plenty of buildings as part of the map. That will help ALOT with the slow framerate problem. The main culprit is just all the buildings on the map and I've already reduced the number to a minimum.

But hopefully I'll be able to reduce it a little bit if I get this single player respawn script working properly that will allow me to reuse the same enemy soldiers over and over again. That way I don't have to use hordes of enemy AI and hopefully that will help increase the frame rate a bit.

The new version will also feature a better movie intro and music from the movie.

Ah yes thank you for reminding me!!! That is another reason why I haven't released the new version yet. I am waiting for Capt. Moore's Little Bird addon pack. Currently I'm using the Kiowa Warrior with some scripts to mount the Delta Force soldiers to the skids (doesn't work very well) and to get them rapelling from them (which isn't how they inserted in real life), however with the new addon pack I'll have real MH-6 and AH-6 Little Birds that I'll be able to use to make the mission much more realistic. Only bad thing however is that they are kinda dark grey'ish colored and I don't think Capt. Moore is going to retexture them to black.

But oh well...that's close enough and I'm sure someone will retexture them to make them darker.
