Bluesman 0 Posted September 4, 2003 Really...sometimes I really wonder why we bother to reply in detail to various questions.Hey Bluesman...here's an idea.....read this thread  Did both that and saw the movie. Couldn't find any billboards or ads. The suggestion was just a suggestion. I would be happy to see some billboards and ads related to real world products. (btw, just in case i reviewed all the 12 pages again, nope no comments about billboards, shopsigns or real logos) BM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BoonieRat 0 Posted September 4, 2003 No need to get upity cause someone has an idea you've already implemented eh?(tis your choice though) It's not the worst social crime commited on these boards though is it?... How about some markets?. How about some Missionary aid stations?. A vulcano? Personaly, I'd like to see some children in OFP, with big eye's and bellies, that roll a handgrenade at you unless you've previously slipped them a Hershey bar (or a Snickers for us Brits ). How about wildlife?, if this is the African continant will there be hippoes?. Tree's that have (shootable!!) monkeys in them that throw coconuts at you?... Are you going to have jungle ambience sounds that change as you get deeper into the triple canopy areas?... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tigershark_BAS 0 Posted September 4, 2003 It's not the suggestion that offends me....but the lack of effort in merely reading what has already been discussed. We pour hours into our addons and to answering your questions only to have posts from people who can:t spend 10 mins reading a thread. Add to that the fact that this thread also became the personal playground for certain people to throw shit at each other and...well....let's just say....I'm less than impressed. Nothing personal Bluesman...I've had a rough day and you seem to have sparked me off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because it was missed in other island add-ons.

Bluesman 0 Posted September 4, 2003 Confucious says "He who takes offense easily, should'nt become offensive. Lest he end up offending himself" ...Edit:forgot smilie... It's no biggie. I understand BAS gets alot of comments and requests and it probably leads to information/stress overload, they probably get tired of the constant whining . But I did search first. Promise.

dm 9 Posted September 4, 2003 I wouldnt say anyone lower than 1ghz and 32mb graphics card should forget it, i think the required specs for OFP:R is about what you'll need to play on the island, lets put it this way, in the largest city, i get a hell of a lot less of a performance hit than i do in Lipany, even though our largest city is a lot more dense and a great deal bigger than Lipany. I was merely suggesting those specs, as on my old machine (which was the OFP Recomended specs) I experienced the same issue as many people (including myself) had with the great Phadens Island (the one with all the cities named after addon makers/ofp personalities) In the fact that I could not place units, due to the editor lag. However - your testing evis, has not included the numbers of soldiers and vehicles that would be included in the mission, especially so if you were to be using any of the newer units which feature scripting, high quality models, and high res textures. For this reason, I feel that my suggestion of 1 GHz and a 32 Meg GFX Card was perfectly viable, and sound on a playability level. Remember - I have the low end machine (which is equivalent to the recommended specs for OFP - and therefor the min specs for Res) and am able to test this, rather than make 2educated guesses" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cobra@pulse 0 Posted September 7, 2003 WOW......... BAS that is incredible, just magnificent. We at Pulse Studioswould like to review this island once its nearing completion if thats all right with you. It looks so realistic you could make a god damn film with it! You will start a whole new world of missions because of this, I salute you BAS! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tigershark_BAS 0 Posted September 8, 2003 Making a mission on this island as part of a mini campaign....but thought I'd play around with some other areas. LOST ISLAND WAR STORY =================== So I took 2 Rangers with me and placed ourselves in the middle of the city with a group of High Dispersion soldiers. I'm in this alleyway...lined on each side but shops and apartments. There is a low wall which offers cover if you crouch and when you stand you can fire over it. I'm getting close to the intersection where I know the troops are. I send #2 to run across the road that makes the intersection to the alley across the other side whilst I back him up. He runs past me...I popup from the wall and send covering fire the enemy's way....then...a hell breaks lose. they all fall to the ground but at the same time start firing in all directions. Thanks to JAM, as I duck behind the low wall I hear the sounds of bullet ricochets and bullets impacting soft earth around me. The low wall is blowing puffs of desert dust everywhere. I look to #2 just as someone launches an RPG at him that impacts the building behind just as he scoots to the alleyway. I throw a grenade...unfortunately I forget that OFP makes me stand to do this....as the grenade flies, green tracers whizz by me head...one finally finds my arm as I try and crounch behind the wall. The HD Machine gunner is going apeshit on his PK.....the grenade explodes and this silences him but only takes another 2 of the 12 guys out. Meanwhile....about 3 guys run after #2 down the alley. I get them as they run past...but one guy comes out of an adjacent alley behind #2 and pops hims before I can get a shot off. #3 watching my back calls out Tango and drops a would be flanker. I pop up again over the wall and let off multiple shots....getting another 2. By now the volume of fire a decreased....enough for me to begin moving out from the wall. I pop up again...let a few shots off and notice some guys have moved round the corner possibly to flank. I run for the intersection past stores with posters advertising African tourist attractions.....looking at a billboard I almost lose sight of the fact someone has run around the corner....I squeeze off a shot and run around the corner to finish of the remaining troops. In a word...>>AWESOME!! A 30sec put together exchange in the mission editor provided one of the best experiences ever in OFP. This map...this city rocks....and will provide a whole new experience for you. There is so much packed into the map and accompanying releases that it will feel like you've been given a Resistance style expansion pack. This island will amaze you...I guarantee it. We only ask one thing in return....MAKE MISSIONS...LOTS OF MISSIONS WITH IT!!! The opportunities for gameplay and mission design/settings are astounding. In fact...with units shipping with it....the opportunity for missions that are joint US equipment and foreign equipment should also be reality. Shouldn't be too far from release now....again..dangerously close to release Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
