MK1 0 Posted February 16, 2005 while we're working on a new set of objects for betio island i've started work on a smaller one, namely burton (ebeye) from the kwajelein atoll. this is only a small set of islands of which burton is the main one and there are three smaller ones. what i wanted is to create a really authentic look of the pacific atolls and i think i'm pretty close to getting there. the islands in this map will be small due to the realism that i'm after (and thus a large number of objects). burton island itself will include a waterplane factory with an apron and a landing ramp, hangars, a concrete pier and lots of other stuff.. oh and one more photo to set the mood right http://personal.inet.fi/private/cassu/Burton.jpg Last two images over forum limit of 100kb - Hellfish6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ag_smith 0 Posted February 16, 2005 Looks like your island need more sand on the beach. Apart from that, it looks great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tomislav 0 Posted February 16, 2005 looks really sweet, nice for a holiday, but, as ag_smith said, a bit more sand would be nice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hellfish6 7 Posted February 16, 2005 Looks great, but please be aware that we don't allow images of over 100kb on the forums. Provide a URL to those in the future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MK1 0 Posted February 16, 2005 well, the amount of sand is controlled mostly by the tide so when those pictures were taken the tide was at a higher level and pacific islands/atolls usually have very narrow strips of sand. work will countinue.. oh and sorry about the size.. i tried to make them very close to 100k, but didn't know those few extra k's count..

MK1 0 Posted February 18, 2005 ok, i made a small island which might end up as part of a larger set of islands for you guys to test and play around with. i think this is now very close to an authentic pacific style vegetation/jungle. why i need ppl to test this is because i need to know if this will be too cpu demanding to implent on a larger map, how to solve the ai routing problems and about the general look and feel.. so download the file and tell me what you think. oh, and do not report this to any news sites or anything.. this isn't an "official release", just a pre-beta-something. here's the download link apart from the files in the package, it requires seb iloilo objects, which most of you prolly have already..

Tomislav 0 Posted February 18, 2005 wow, what a damn fast dl rate. thanks for the public beta testing, but i guess you can't hide that file before the all seeing eyes of the ofp news sites Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[aps]gnat 28 Posted February 18, 2005 MK1, Nice ... Bit of feedback but; - Even though I have ilo verion 2, I got error on loading; error loading iloilo_obj\ilokrovi_long.p3d - AI won't enter trees - Framerate is low for such a small island - definitely needs a better "beach" color.

CAPAIRMAN 0 Posted February 18, 2005 Nice. I think your choice of textures is great. Once you make it larger, this could be one of the best pacific islands out there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MK1 0 Posted February 18, 2005 hmm.. dunno about the iloilo error. doesn't sound like it's something to do with my map. i'm aware of the problem that ai won't enter the jungle. i was hoping someone could come up with some suggestions how to get around this one. the frame rate is also an issue and thus this file was released. at least on my comp, if i set fog level to one or two steps from the maximum, the fps is pretty ok. after all that single spot of woods has more than 4500 objects in it.
