ebns72 0 Posted February 23, 2005 Suprised a thread hasn't been made yet about this island yet, considering it has probably the best jungles seen in-game yet (besides tonal). I have waited for a nam map with halfway decent jungles, and here it is. Check it out over at ofp.info. This island has water-rice patties (yes, wading through waist-deep muck-style rice paddy!) and tons of custom objects. Not only is this an excellent island, but its objects can be quite useful in other islands as well. My only nitpicks are that A) the rice paddies could be more natural (they seem really squarish...err..hard to explain) and the undergrowth of the jungle could be thicker. Note to author-you can keep the polycount but make it appear the undergrowth is thicker by simply scaling a lot of the undergrowth from small "foot-sized" bush to malden "man-sized" tree. Discuss.

Homefry 0 Posted February 23, 2005 It's truly an awesome map... I love it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cpt. FrostBite 0 Posted February 23, 2005 I was also suprized that noone made a topic about it. It needs some little details to be fixed, but it's BY FAR (!!!) the best Nam map I've seen. Also the best jungle I've seen released. I love flying my chopper over those trees and have my gunner spit down lead at the invisible enemy who is shooting holes in my bird You'll have the most fun using choppers for inserting an infantry squad for a patrol or raid. The island is unsuited for any armor IMO (but most of nam was indeed unsuited for armor) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-HUNTER- 1 Posted February 23, 2005 I only miss an armed version of the CH-34... GET SOME GET SOME GET SOME!!! The napalm looks very nice on this island aswell! Yes it really Is one of the best vietnam islands, but I only have serious lag issues when going MP... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebns72 0 Posted February 23, 2005 A note to the author if he ever decides to make an improved version... To make more dense and realistic jungles, I would like to see this forest block combined with this one That would be kickass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlackScorpion 0 Posted February 23, 2005 Well, I did a bit flying around with SEB AirCav pilots + CSJ Huye's... Looks nice. Though, partially due flying of course, my fps was at about 5 or so - never over 10 I think, no DxDll postprosessing in use... I'll have a at the ground level later... I'm not a big fan of CQC/enclosed area type gameplay, due OPF engine, but the pics look nice and we don't have a map with large and dense jungle... Gosh, I'm just repeating myself and everyone else. Nice map. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
olemiss 0 Posted February 24, 2005 i'm just guessing, but i'd say he wouldnt do that, just to keep the number of objects down to a bare minimum. lag's a bitch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

supergruntsb78 67 Posted February 24, 2005 well i'm playing the map without serius lag problems (until i put to much soldiers on it but thats the problem i have with almost every map) at ofp.cz they already said to keep your view distance down do that and you will see much improvement and good relistic effects for ambushes (my JJR aircav squad got wiped out 3 times after doing hard battle with NVA regulars who were waiting for us up a hill i never spotted them until the firing began and even then i only saw glimps of the enemy sometimes leaving me no other choice as to fire a complete mag in the bushes he disapeared in) all with all great map good for Long Range patrols and ambush encounters and helo/boat insertions (althoug with helo is difficult sometimes as there are to few LZ's out on the map) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kroky 1 Posted February 24, 2005 the island has just been released so no missions yetalthoug im going to use this on in my campaign Operation sender green I'm really looking forward to your campaign! Happy to read this that you gonna use this fantastic island for your campaign! As far as I know nobody did until now any mission in Vietnam in the modern era! So you are the first realizing this idea. Great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As far as I know nobody did until now any mission in Vietnam in the modern era! So you are the first realizing this idea. Great! to be honest i was creating some litlle nam missions on this island but for a moment i used a seal (sjb-tos-seals) armed with a S&E m4+m203 gl to test something out and then it hit me why not a campaing in the present day and so it started all thanks to this wonderfull island Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cpt. FrostBite 0 Posted February 25, 2005 Not a bad idea. At least with the modern stuff you can fast-rope into the jungle *hint-hint* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sanctuary 19 Posted February 25, 2005 I missed that island. downloading right now even if it will certainly make my OFP to crawl. Nam missions with a low viewdistance and fog are really immersive, it should work very well there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dabitup 0 Posted February 26, 2005 One question though-any Idea why that little bridge near the airbase is textureless? Â Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sim 0 Posted February 27, 2005 Quote[/b] ]One question though-any Idea why that little bridge near the airbase is textureless? Errrm cos it's a beta This island is brilliant, I really love it. I don't have any serious lag problems even when I have the map packed with soldiers, view distance 900. I always lower it when making 'Nam missions to make it more atmospheric, lower it to about 790. Great island, can't wait for an update if there is going to be one sim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

supasheep 0 Posted February 28, 2005 missing some texture... or some addon..? [ig]http://home.arcor.de/lukasnoga/12.jpg[/img]>100kb all in all... at the moment the best nam map. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cpt. FrostBite 0 Posted February 28, 2005 http://ofp.gamezone.cz/index.php?showthis=8001 And it keeps getting better and better... This is already the best Nam map and with the new objects it might be the best nam map that will ever be made for OFP1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
supergruntsb78 67 Posted February 28, 2005 Not a bad idea. At least with the modern stuff you can fast-rope into the jungle *hint-hint* fast rope in to the jungle and then step on the tail of a snake (as you all know out of a 100 snakes in nam only 99 have deadly poisen in them and that 1? well it will swallow your complete behind in 1 bite :P ) but jus for you capt frostbite because we orange lovers have to stick together ill see what i can do (our national color is next to red white and bleu also orange ) back on topic for this island : Â with the new stuff being build for it it will even be a better map i agree with capt frostbite probably the best NAM map ever for ofp(1) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
