Nogova 2004

[GRUSupergerbil 0]

I found a Nogovan Flag Pack over at opf.info are these the ones you meant?

(Insert pictures here)

Sorry to dig up this old post, but I made those flags. I updated the pack (using Photoshop this time)

If you'd like, I could give it to those who want it. I could post the link. Feel free to mess with them and do whatever you want. The images are now in 256x128 and are JPGs with highest quality. The images stretch on the flags, something which I cannot fix, but it is miniscule, not very noticeable.

It has Nogova in old times, Nogova as a soviet Republic, Nogovian Peoples Socialist Republic, and Nogova today. Military districts, etc.

So, If you want, I'll give you the new one. Has quite a few flags too. Some for Everon, Karjala, the future Maldevich, etc.

Anyhow, this looks like an amazing project.

Good luck.

for Vic's house, instead of redoing the texture to add the plaque how about leaving it as is, but make a small sign model to place in front of house? like this

some tunnel?

Where would you like to see this "Tunnel"

That's what I was thinking besides a tunnel is pretty hard to make.

Your help is welcome but I don't know if I am going to use them since the flag is pretty much decided. But thanks for the help.

And thank you all for the support and suggestions. I am making huge progress on it and hope to release it within a month or two. I will come with some pictures later this day

I wouldn't mind seeing a few more farms on nogovo. Y'know sort of out the way on hill sides sort of thing.

lol ok

and some cascade? it's too complicated?

Cascade? You mean a waterfall?

Hmm, first and last time I saw one was in that magnificent video from AEF...

No more farms but there will be larger farms

Think it's a bit too complicated, besides where did you tought to make one.

Well, the northern nogovan shore has some nice steep cliffs that could have some waterfalls... here are some nice locations!

A small waterfall:

A normal waterfall (glaciar-fed?)

How about it? Ironsight, you know the AEF-video and it's waterfall? It's really nice!!

I have seen the AEF waterfall and I really liked it, but I am not a scripting genius and I don't know if the AEF is still alive. So don't expect it in the first version, maybe later

I've last drawn them out with the Trains in OFP thread, but the team has changed since the release of the video I guess; nevertheless it's individual members are mostly still out there, maybe you could contact them for help?

[Nathanz 0]

Maybe ask politely, and some of scripting guys from ofpec might help ?

Oh and runway lights ?

[Ironsight 1]

And here are some pictures of the gas stations and parkings near the highway

What do you guys think?

[SpeedyDonkey 0]

Looks very nice.

[Nathanz 0]

I like the bigger gas stations

One question though, can ai use the roads without crashing into anything ?

[Ironsight 1]

Oh and runway lights ?

I will use the runway lights from the 3WX third party object pack

[-ZG-BUZZARD 0]

Nice! As for runway lights, that should be easy; I remember phaeden's island still of the time of CWC which had runways with integrated landing lights... not that they were of much use, but nice to look at... surely stronger lights have come out, so I guess integrating practical lights could be done... (and yeah, I also hate to land on an airfield at night without lights, lol).

[Ironsight 1]

One question though,  can ai use the roads without crashing into anything ?

Not yet but I will try to reduce it with AI paths. Or else I will have to wait till Delta and me will start on the scripts for the Texas teaser island

[-ZG-BUZZARD 0]

Hmm, about the gas stations, I wonder if you could substitute the concrete-square-slabs texture with something looking like a proper large gas station parkinglot/drivethru ground texture?

[ag_smith 0]

There're some good looking car park textures in USMC Gaia's island. How about getting some of these?

A poem by David Morgan on the Falklands war.I suppose very similar to the Nogova conflict.

There were no heroes here

Amongst the men who tramped through

Rutted, quaking moor,

Or crawled, cat-silent,

Over skittering scree

To prove the way.

No heroes fought the blazing fires

Which sucked the very blood from

Ship and man alike.

Or braved knife cold

Without a thought

To save a life.

No heroes they, but ones who loved

Sweet life and children's laugh,

And dreamt of home

When war allowed.

They were but men.

Unfortunatly its probably too big for a plaque but i thought i'd share it with you all..

Back on topic...heres a perfect place(IMHO)for the main monument.Its not too far from Victors home town.

And are you going to put anything on this little island...

http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/8036/map10.jpg

Maybe a military compound..

THis area should remain the same. A little log cabin and a dock for who ever owns the land to ride out there via boat and then spend the weekend there.

I know, they are pretty nice textures but they need to fit in the landscape

Hey, forgive me for all I say but belive me, I want the best for this project! The thing is I belive you don't know highways well, and all the time there, I se you're making T or X crossections on the highway there. Even for the fuel station.

Highway is a road for fast cars, meaning - the curves must be wide, so that fast cars won't fall of the curve by too high speed.

And when you drive into the highway, you should do it as fast as it is possible. It is easier to drive in with a low angle drive-in, than with a 90° T-drive-in....

To explain you how it should be, I've modified your latest screen to explain what are the "wide curves". Compare both poctiures. The way you did it, the car would have to wait for a long time to join the highway, because he would have to do it slowly (90° angle at very short distance). On the picture below, the angle is low, so it is far easier to drive in the highway. And that is how real highway look.....

For the X crossings, I understand you are not able to make all bridges and so, but at least make it X with ")" shaped shortcuts between X's arms, that would make it easier to join the highway... that would work better, and look nicer (especially with solid blockades around)...

As for other things in your project, so long it is great :]

The picture promised:

Hey Ironsight, now you can replace your cement barriers with the most recent version from F3wx_o1, version 1.1. Lookie here.

[Johann "onn" Bitsoenn 0]

Okay, back to my previous post, here are two pictures to show the general idea from the bird's sight of view :]

The first picture is a fuel station, the second is the highway crossing with normal road. I know there are lots of roads and AI probably will ride anyway they want, but...

a) there is a hope AI will be smart and use the shortest way, and the easy curve will prevent it from falling off the road :]

b) remember this is for people, not for computers to play :]]]

Pics:

If you want any other help about highway teories (e.g. traffic sings placement, especially those highway-typical) I would be happy to help :]

[Johann "onn" Bitsoenn 0]

As I think and think, it may be even simpler than I tought to make a real (non-collision) highway entrance. You could rise a part of highway to make a bridge, like on that pic:

http://img20.photobucket.com/albums/v60/Ironsight/Noe16.jpg

and place a normal road under the bridge. That would really be a simplest solution and then it would be 100% realistic.

You could then even intersect 2 highways...

And it would be really easy! And AI wouldn't have problems with that :]

I make explain whole idea, if the description above is not clear enough..
