Mini-Earth Map

Recommended Posts

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.

hmm, I think a 'world' OFP map would be awesome (imagine a risk mod... biggrin_o.gif )

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!

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.

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.

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 tounge_o.gif

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.

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 tounge_o.gif

Or instead of CTI you could have CTW, "Conquer the World."

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)

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?
