Real maps

[OIK 0]

This is my comeback to this forums after 1 year away. Since i bought resistance and i can play online my love for these game is very big.

I dont care if the graphics is not the best and if if if.

I dont like any other game as much as OFP

the realism is huge and games like MOAHH and Battlefield are ages behind in realism.

Now to my topic

Why not use real names and maps from real countrys?

Like Iraq and citys like Baghdad , Basrah, and Irbil?

Is this difficult ithink that this will give more realism and more intressting pgaming.

THe only think boring is that we always have the same towns the same airports and so on.

PLease asnwer me why this cannot happen?

Thank you.

There is a map that should represent the La Trang valley in Vietnam. And there is Sumatra but I haven't tried that yet. But some more real world maps isn't a bad idea. I mean, there are lot's of tiny Islands in this world.

Just take a look at a map ofHolland, notice the tiny islands up north.

Just check that page.. The OFP islands are actually models of real islands...

thats astonishing so the Malden map who i like so much is an island from my own country(im greek ) . Two greek islands in the game amazing .

Why not i may try making a mode about Greece/Turkey conflict in the aegean sea or Cyprus.

Yes models of real ones, but not real ones themselves and that's what he wants... I think...

Mr.Duck exactly .

OIK, if you are good with WRPedit and O2, then you can do the islands and the models and possibly the skins, I can do the research and the missions, and I know someone who could help us do the scripting.

Are you up for it

no im not very good but i can try. I have a couple of friends who are good at this so if im gonna take the desicion this will not be a problem to make.

Ex-Ronin thanks for supporting this idea .

Well, we don't need new models and islands just yet, we can use a lot of the ingame stuff first.

What we would have to do is retexture Apaches, soldiers, jeeps and Hummers, BMP's, M-60 (tanks), and, with permission, a Huey or two, Chinooks etc. Our army is using all of them, so all we need to change are the markings, shoulder patches etc. Cammo schemes are the same as well.

New models would have to be the Leonidas APC (edit the M113? They sure look similar), Leo 1 possibly (unless BW Mod allows us to retexture theirs - we would have to ask them), Challenger 2 (did we buy them in the end?),.

For planes, how about a Corsair to "replace" the A-10? They have similar roles...

As for the Turks, they have similar equipment, not sure if they use BMP's though, but this is researchable

Just found this:

http://www.strategy.gr/english/defb1en.htm

Complete equipment list, numbers too  

Maybe we should Cyprus as well, as the "Resistance" ?

Anyway, talk later on MSN/ICQ hopefully

EDIT: Click on the arrows at the bottom to get to other pages. The entire military is there

One of you should try making the isle of lewis, but it might be too big for the game. if it is you should try the uist islands. These islands can be found off the north-west coast of Scotland. There is an airport in the town of Stornoway, and another airport on the island of Benbecula. You should try looking into it, it is kind of like the falklands according to what I have seen of the Falklands. There has never been any kind of conflict on these islands, although Stornoway airport was used alot in WWII as a fuel stop for aircraft being brought into Europe from America, if anyone decides to make this island (extreemly doubtful) i would be glad to give you information on the islands

Am I not mistaken that someone here is a member of a team reproducing Iowa Jima?

[m16a2m203 0]

That is correct. I finished the actual terrain data awhile back by tracing out contours from a reproduction of an old military map actually used for the assualt on Iwo Jima. The contours were then run through a survey program I work with to create the correct format to be read into WRPEDIT. Right now Planck and DaCoroner are working on road placement and texturing the island. Soul and a few others I believe are working on weapon models from that time period. Currently the project website is down but You can get an idea of what it should look like over at OJR for now. Speaking of which, I'll probably not be renewing my hosting services in the next couple of months so if ya'll want to copy any instructions I suggest ya'll do so now.

Where can i get WRPEdit from? and whats the maxium size of island which is possible to make?

[philcommando 0]

er....u want REAL maps?

Lets do maps of rouge nations instead, cos:-

1. Plenty of action and scenarios to be played

2. let them politicians there know 'hey, u better toe the line and agree with UN or else, even a 13 yr old kid know every nook and cranny of your city state, good for bombings and collateral damage avoidance - u can run but u cant hide'.

3. keep up the sabre-rattling and flag of UN high.

Anyone just got back from iraq or north korea with pics?

Bordoy, check out the ofp CIA site - got the editor and tutorials there

also it'd be tough to research completely real maps. The most realistic map that I have to be able to make would be called:

OPERATION STAFFORD: SMALL TOWN CRISIS

and even then the map probably wouldn't be exactly real.

I think some of the San Juan Islands in WA would be nice.
