-75th-Wacky_Iraqi-LtC- 0 Posted April 2, 2004 We (the BDM MOD) have released our island, Saint David. Get it from BDM site or from OFP NEWS or OFP BASE Thanks go out to ofp news and ofp base for their mirrors, and any others I missed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MSpencer 0 Posted April 2, 2004 I must say this map is awesome. I got a beta of it a month or two ago, and I was blown away. If you like Nogova, you'll like this island, believe me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HotShot 0 Posted April 2, 2004 This is 1 of the best islands out by far IMO, lot's of detail, but no lag I like the abonded factory areas too, with the fallen over fences, etc, good for MP missions of all kind, both in those areas, and all over the island. Nice job guys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Doob 0 Posted April 2, 2004 Can't wait to try it I'll get a mirror up in a few.. *EDIT MIRROR - 3.41 MB Nice island with a tiny separate island to the south which has it's own airport. I only saw 1 airport on the main island for a total of 2. To many towns to count, from small to semi-large. Pretty cool island IMHO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MSpencer 0 Posted April 2, 2004 You'll like it. I might be a bit biased, but I still hate jake :P Just kidding. He worked a lot on this island, and we'll be making custom objects for it at some point if more people join the team. This will also be the focus of most of our missions. We'll also be making a campaign or two along the line when a lot of our addons (Including the DDG51) are done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Meathead 0 Posted April 2, 2004 This is a very nicely done Island. It has some very nice open areas to promote some good armor battles. Excellant job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jakerod 254 Posted April 3, 2004 No sorry, I was going to have one originally but thought that it isn't very realistic for an island to go from forests and lots of trees and farm fields to desert. A while ago I was making a desert island but that is on hold for now while I work on this other one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thirtyg 0 Posted April 3, 2004 I hardly ever try new islands, but i did with this one, all i can say is wow. You guys have done a fanastic job Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Milkman 1 Posted April 3, 2004 I usually don't bother in downloading islands, but god damn, this one is a beauty! Real good work guys! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Milkman 1 Posted April 3, 2004 Just some random pics from around the Island, I will post the rest in combat photography: --- --- --- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MEDICUS 0 Posted April 3, 2004 Very nice island! Sweet towns/villages, great terrain (ohhh ... i hear a lot of tanks comin' up this way  ) Great job Gents! EDIT: Sweet! AI-landable Airport on the main-island   Mfg MEDICUS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jakerod 254 Posted April 3, 2004 Nice Pics Milkman and Doob Have any of you guys noticed any major bugs? Ive noticed a small one in Rouen with a bush inside a building and blocking a door but that wouldn't be worth a patch or anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MSpencer 0 Posted April 3, 2004 One thing that I really liked when I was making missions way back when was the area to the east. All those small towns with their hills make awesome terrain for missions with tanks coming at you. T72s + ECP + A lone little trooper running from soviet inf = fun.

-BlackDeath- 0 Posted April 4, 2004 Would be nice if not super if the new farm objects pack was used and the mapfact barracks etc radio building etc was used would add alot more detail to the game -BlackDeath Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jakerod 254 Posted April 4, 2004 It had already been done for a few weeks before the farm pack came out and I wanted it to be stand alone anyway so that is why I didn't use anything. I may do some custom stuff to it later but it will be things from the mod. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-BlackDeath- 0 Posted April 4, 2004 Ahh ok m8y was just wondering especially with the release today of mapfact's airport addon sure would be nice to see it in there :P anyways cya and great work again. -BlackDeath Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MSpencer 0 Posted April 4, 2004 We're going to definitely add custom objects, but we've got no modellers who can work on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
@cero 0 Posted April 4, 2004 I'm downloading this now. I allways been happy with the custom island that have been released so far. So many, alot of them are really good, but I can allways try something new, can I? Looks really good. @CERO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
redface 1 Posted April 5, 2004 OK, I had a look around I like the towns and size of the island, but it needs a bit more geographic relief (small valleys like the ones that got posted here, in fact most of the map is quite flat, please add a bit more contrast & hilly areas like in standard BIS maps) I noticed one minor glitch at one of the factory sites: cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jakerod 254 Posted April 5, 2004 Ah okay the pic is working now... Its like that because its supposed to be an abandoned Factory complex so the gate is meant to look like someone either hit it with a truck or tried to pull it out with some other means as well as the fence.

jotte 0 Posted April 5, 2004 Very nice island indeed! Thank you for not putting a desert part on it, I don't think it fits in on Nogova either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lupus-WD- 0 Posted April 6, 2004 nice island, very nice, with villages named after french towns mostly in Normandy. one small correction, i think Eureux was supposed to be Évreux... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
