Apollo 0 Posted December 10, 2004 I guess you could make a simpliefied version of a world map and then create small simplified unit's on lego wars scale complete with small houses on same scale ,would really rock. i don't know how small you can make unit's in ofp ,but the smaller they are the bigger the impression of the island within Ofp limitations ,a 25x25km island would give the impression of a 250x250 km island for unit's of 1/10th the size of normal ofp unit's. In addition ,i would advice to use realy simplified texture's and elevations ,think civilization games style ,a desert texture ,a hill texture ,a grasland texture ,etc. Eventually i guess the goal of such a map would be to use it with some kind of strategic mod ,wouldn't know however how to translate such a concept into OFP.

VerySolidSnake 0 Posted December 10, 2004 hmm, I think a 'world' OFP map would be awesome (imagine a risk mod... ) That is brilliant! A risk mod! Wow, like move around the map, when you try to take over territories or are attacked, you switch into first person and lead the battle. More territories the more soldiers and supplies. That is a fantastic idea! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CAPAIRMAN 0 Posted December 10, 2004 Making a world map is a great idea, but the continents would have to be too small to support good battles, but it would be a cool novelty and it would lend itself to making a risk-like campaign. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eestikas88 0 Posted December 10, 2004 A big world map and really small units what would be size of an ant I think that should work ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpongeBob 0 Posted December 10, 2004 Crazy idea: how about a map that's a copy of mount Everest? Is there a limit to how tall a mountain can be? Maybe have only the top 2000m of everest and its glacier passes on a map. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sepe 1 Posted December 10, 2004 Yeah, and some other mountains surrounding it, with a very small road going trough a valley... Could be damn good for an ambush! And about that Alcatraz... Why not make a partial San Francisco too? Wow, just imagine a mission where you'e a terrorist and blow up Golden Gate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eestikas88 0 Posted December 10, 2004 Yeah.Maybe just make San Fransisco. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aviel 0 Posted December 12, 2004 Yeah.Maybe just make San Fransisco. making this kind of HUGE citys are demending much MB's! keep a close eye on it, and keep the size small, and much buildings to keep the landscape interesting, making san F. alone = impossible, you need O2 experts, moddellers, texeturders, and many other things like that, = BIG HEADAKE<--- Well, anyway nice idea.

mr burns 132 Posted December 12, 2004 scripting in .pbo´s should be made possible, that way you could have an empty island as base where the citys are only spawned as you get closer to ´em .. although i could imagine the ai getting slightly confused by that method Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SASR Sabre 0 Posted December 12, 2004 i think this idea would be awesome you could have mini WW2 campaigns and fictional WW3 campaigns on a map that has the whoel world on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Milkman 1 Posted December 12, 2004 i think this idea would be awesome you could have mini WW2 campaigns and fictional WW3 campaigns on a map that has the whoel world on it. Or instead of CTI you could have CTW, "Conquer the World." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tomislav 0 Posted December 12, 2004 i always wondered how large an island in ofp could be, are there any limitations, or could you really make a 1:1 world. (with damn lag ofcourse) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ironsight 1 Posted December 12, 2004 i always wondered how large an island in ofp could be, are there any limitations, or could you really make a 1:1 world.(with damn lag ofcourse) Maximum is 1024x1024 and this is 51,2x51,2km Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cozza 24 Posted December 12, 2004 Or instead of CTI you could have CTW, "Conquer the World." I could do it in real life but theres things called countrys and there armys in my way Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sepe 1 Posted December 12, 2004 That's why we have Flashpoint, right? And the soldiers shouldn't be that small either... Maybe like Ë of the original size. I think it shouldn't be THAT horrible to see a 20 km long BMP roaming around. Imagine yourself playing with toy soldiers on a world map. You'll understand what what I mean. Like 1 soldier=1000 men. Take those 3 zeros off and put it into Flashpoint. You have something I'm going to download. I'm sure no one understood the slightest point, but hey, who cares if you don't count anyone but me?
