Bas island - working title "lost island"

[ebud 18]

GoOB, it is an African island.

Oh... Well keep the names African-ish then  Seriously I thought it was supposed to be in the west indies or something.

Goob, please read the thread from the beginning and you'll find where this is pointed out.

Hey folks, just read this thread, been very busy on the isle.

A few quick answers:

The island is big, and the file size is big, with ground texs of 512x512, would love to use 1024x1024 texs or bigger but filezise and lag wouldnt allow it.

No external addons, but agent_smith very kindly let us put one of his buildings in the pbo.

Most names are from places in papua new guinea, used because most people would never of heard of them, and they can pass as a variety of places, such as africa. But overall africa is the focus.

As far as placement goes, i've put a bit of thought into the chokepoints. So to move from rebel wilderness into government civil areas there is a few different ways to cross the river, making for good infil or all out attack scenarios.

The terrain is low all over, much lower than nogova (very nice for the dune buggy ;) ).

Insects, there is a "bugs" sound object setup, so you can just place the sound objects anywhere you like. I tried putting the bugs in as local pockets of sounds on the terrain in some areas, but like the old footsteps bug i could hear it from km's away.

And one other thing, i mentioned a while ago that the isle would ship with a mini-campaign, i dont think that will happen this time. All old missions i made need to be reworked and in some parts remade (like cutscenes) to be updated with changes on the isle. But there will still be a few missions with it

Indeed, very nice pic.

What kinds of buildings can we look forward to? I mean, is there a government-type building, a civil hospital, any industries? And airfield with a control tower and terminal? (Which, I think, would be a first.) Can you smack us up with any details on that?

just wondering:

are you using some new type of streetlamps?

the current ones by BIS are more like floodlights in a football stadium.

so many islands use a lot of them to illuminate big towns, which is pointless, because actually 3 would to it too...

The buildings pretty much go from tin shacks in the rebel west to neat houses in smaller government towns in center and east, with housing projects and dirty slums in the eastern desert.

Pang, we use nice dim streetlights, a bis model, but look alot better that the super bright ones, makes for a lot of shadows at night.

Here's a color pic of the same street as before:

Both. I used many billboards and propaganda posters from African city images. On some buildings you'll posters, on some billboards, on some murals. All from real images.
