ebud 18 Posted January 2, 2004 Posted a few pics recently of an island I'm working on. Since the Chirstmas break is over and it's back to work on Monday, I have to finish the island in a day or so and just upload it. Looking for a few dedicated Vietnam players to test it and maybe someone to host it for a couple days until I just send it out next week as final. Right now it has 5 small villages, a river, rice paddies, elephant grass fields, etc. You just have to play with it to see. It has all new vegatation and uses the grass p3ds seen so often in the photo thread, but with grass that fits the island. I'd hold off and let either BAS or other seb nam makers work on this some more, but then feature creep would set in and it would be released next Christmas.... er this Christmas. It works fine now, and is a testbed for a much larger island. It is only about 4 megs as it uses Res ground textures and needs the Seb Ia Drang island for sounds and such. I'm going to leave it unbinarized so in the end other people can use it for other things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heatseeker 0 Posted January 3, 2004 hmm.. the jungle vegetation, textures and sound, the sks simonov and M14 in jam2, the jungle huts amongst other stuff... is it just me or was there NP3 material all around Tonal . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebud 18 Posted January 3, 2004 actually there isn't anything from Tonal on Ilo(well maybe the tree bark), and I should know, but it is a good idea. Some of the plants may be the same, but it;s all totally redone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cervomix 0 Posted January 3, 2004 Very nice island! Ebud, is it normal that we can go trought forest squares with tanks without colliding with trees? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drow 0 Posted January 3, 2004 Impressive, but on closer look i found the paddy trails were about 3 ft. too high, like huge mounds/berms of dirt. Paddy trails are like 8 inches high, but maybe these could be used in a wee bit 'o water eh I dont like the grasses, obviously could use some custom ground textures, and theres some alright trees. anyways, overall pretty nice, nice buildings (if you redo the textures double the reso), and a few nice bushes. Good Job thus far EBUD! ((Are these objects free to use?)) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ag_smith 0 Posted January 3, 2004 Once again, tall grass seems not to obstruct AI's line of sight at all. You know, it is very annoying when everybody around you (I mean AI) is shooting at something 100 meters away and you can't even see what it is... Even worse there's return fire coming from there, hehe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebud 18 Posted January 3, 2004 Very nice island! Ebud, is it normal that we can go trought forest squares with tanks without colliding with trees? no, I need to fix that for final release. Thanks, just noticed it as well when I flew through them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebud 18 Posted January 3, 2004 Ebud, are the objects free to use? yes, once I release the final version anyone can take it apart and use whatever. That way I'll get even more islands to play on Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ebud 18 Posted January 3, 2004 ok, seeing though tall grass fixed. Forests fixed. I removed the small grass from the forests. Lagged too much. But the firefights are really nice now. The bottom 1/8th or so of the grass works as cover as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
