The more i make some quick skirmishes on that island, the more i appreciate the lag free feeling on my system, and the extended cities that are offering some good urban combat situations without puzzling the AI.

Indeed, though i experience fps drop in the huge Quandahar city due to all the buildings, if we add a decent amount of a.i. and some vehicals it will problably lag , i always avoid large towns like the ones in Tonal anyway so its fine really and with some fog it should still work out well.

But on a brighter side the small house groups and villages like Charikar are perfect! They are very well done and placed and all types of assaults can be made there from assault, defence and even convoy ambushes, has is it offers great mission possibilities. Also that Mosque looks very good .

@Messiah, I can see by your avatar that your landrover pack is coming along nicely .

And this revisited Cat shit island is sweet. I've got a small suggestion and it kinda relates to Remo's Afghanistan island. He was trying to have a "Azan" instead of church bells but i'm not sure if he's craked it yet so i was wondering if you had a go at that yourself as i know you havn't used the bells either. now it's not a problem as i can just use my Azan sound file but i was hopeing it was possible to do.

@ Tomislav

I´m not sure. This is model of mosque from one year old Bkm.balkan.pbo >>> Balkan Objects.

This sounds like ofp.info news lol.

"Fighter posted nice screen of Mosque originaly made by BKM and to be used in CAT_SHIT's revisited island by Agent Smith, it looks very good..." .

Awesome , i like the improved work on the mosque , but could you please get the textures on the top of the round dome a bit more better applied (in need of a better word to explain my point ). Right now they seem too stretched from some angles as was the case with the previous ones , ih ope you can fix them this time ? It would be really good then .

Thanks again for all the work you guys are putting in to this map , truly a joint community effort.

I really like this island, BIS textures and all. A SE version would be nice but i can make do with this one just fine.

Now if only i could get the islands anim to work i wouldnt have that annoying "stuck in mission" crap when you back out of the editor/network/mission.

Thats strange because AGsmith made one and it works fine for me. not like the original version

Looks like I'm gonna go to store nearby and buy a case of good Czech beer (which is cheaper in Poland than it is in Czech), and send it to him for all the help provided so far.

PS. If only BKM gave us permission to put it into CATIntro.pbo...

Well i can only get non-alcoholic beer , will that do fighter

Very nice work so far , now the island is truly fine tuned. If only a few more objects with afghanee theme could have been made and put over it would seriously rock. Like pushtuun written signs on shops and stuff , madrassa or two , even a pub sorta place like a small cafe or bofia as in arabic

Did you change anything to the folder? i just took the folder marked "anim" and placed it into my res/addons folder without changing anything, am i missing a step someplace?

[jakerod 254]

Anim folders dont work if the island is in a mod folder I dont believe. Or atleast there is something that has to do with a mod folder I don't remember what it is exactly just mess around a bit with the placement.

If I only had a handful of pictures, especially showing pushtuun inscriptions, I could think about changing some of existing objects into shops, etc...

Besides, IIRC Schoeler was working on some sort of middleestern style cafe. Maybe somebody could track him down and ask...  

Edit: wooot, haven't noticed, but I just got the 3rd star.

@Fighter:

I know its the arabic font but i didnt understand what you wrote (as a word) they look just randomly placed letters not even joined together.

Hey Guys...

Really like the revisited Afghan Island, love the size and textures doesn't really matter for me, am well happy with how it is - thanx ag_smith - You Rox  

I like the Streetlamps too illuminating the Towns @ Night, they look very nice...

Q - Can I place streetlamps on the map and illuminate them from the editor?

    If so, How? And where do I find them?

Thanx for this great island, like it lots

Didnt work for me too, placed the island pbo in a mod folder and the anims in the opf/res/addons folder but it didnt work , that Mosque is looking better and better .

I know that this might be difficult to accomplish, but would it be too much to request an enterable minaret?

(Not like the one where there are no walls to keep you from falling, but instead much like the one that FDF has made...I don't want you guys to make new ones, but maybe they'll let you use it.)

C'mon you guys, give Mr. Smith a break. You sure could place some of those other buildings addons on your own, free to choose what u like and place wherever u want - total freedom for mission planners. He has already done the back breaking work to provide a seamless no lag island with the main stuff like airport and towns.

Really, its great as it is, and u could place a hell lot of other buildings and structures on the genuinely flat lowlands (unlike other island makers who gave the lowlands undulating ground - making it useless to put buildings) and even made some of the hilltops flat too so that you can put even structures there!...In all my years here, i seldom download islands cos although they were great works, but with Mr. Smith's island - i never need to use another island for desert wars!
