sgt_savage 586 Posted August 25, 2005 Hi all, I have been working on my first Island for ofp for about 6 months on and off now. I remember asking someone to update the BAS Tonal island, but nobody was interested. So I decided learn how to use WRP tool and edit it myself. I eventually recieved an email from Deadmeat stating that BAS would not give me permission to update or release it so work halted.I then began this island CASURINA. It's still WIP a lot still needs to be done. I hoping to release it around the time ARMA is released, so I can take advantage of the optimised engine and hopefully less lag than i'm experiencing now. At the moment the Island includes * Russian miltary airbase * civillian domestic airport * A small service airfield in the south * Stone quarry * Prison * Drag Strip * Various country towns and farms I intend to release a campaign with the island,I'm not really good with making campaigns or missions so anyone wanting to have a go email me please. Also anyone that has any skill in making buildings enterable or static contact me. Anyway enough talk here's some pics Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sgt_savage 586 Posted August 25, 2005 Looks intresting, how big will the island be? and are there any lag issues?Smiley It is about 25 km I think (if you fly across it takes a good while), about half the size of Tonal. I wanted to make it bigger ,perhaps I will when I figure out how to do that with wrp tool  . Lag well, the only area it stutters a bit is in the city area, but that is set on high detail, view distance 1000 and on a resolution of 1600x1200 on a p4 2.8 gig with a gforce fx 5900. Im trying to elminate lag where I can. I basically wanted this island to be for tank and air units, overall the island is universal, a kind of all in one. Hence the reason I want to release it with a campaign, to show it's versitility. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

-HUNTER- 1 Posted August 31, 2005 OMFG This is unreal, I just checked the pics and well in allmost every picture you see completly new city building and using things that have never been done before! The way things are placed is absolutly fabulous, the airport looks really well with the sunshelters and the larger hangars, you probally have been to a airport once since there are taxiways and stuff that makes it real. The highway on the overpass is superb, the park in the city is insanely calming! And the dragstrip is something I will have lots of fun with! Mang I cannot wait for a release! This is probally one of the best islands in graphical detail for woodland maps! Edit banana's for you man! YAAY UBER COOL MAP! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sgt_savage 586 Posted August 31, 2005 Great looking island! Â Dare I ask how the AI handle your bridges and over-passes? They seem to be able to, They do have a tendancy to change sides. The trick is to put quite a few waypoints along the roads, more than usual. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
