Wow, I have just seen the little demo video on OFP.info and those bridges are mind-boggling!  This is going to be one the greatest islands ever! (Just please use some variety and non-BIS Hangers in the airport, please! ).

I have a shitty old PC that runs OFP just well enough to test addons on Desert Island. I think this island of yours is going to cost me dearly...

Can I just add that there needs to be a balance between places where people work and where they live. Eg each skyscraper will need a few hundred people, who'll need a couple less hundred houses, if the islands going to feel realistic.

I'm using mapfact and rskl hangers, but I am using the bis ones for the service airfield in the south

Nice Urban areas

[sgt_savage 586]

Hi all,

I am pleased to announce that Silent'n'Deadly and Maatz have joined our small group and are creating some exciting new things for OPFLASH ,things that were sorely missing from day one.Arne has been hard at work aswell making new bridges,billboards and is now working on a water barge and it's looking great. We are all working on different things ATM and we really need someone to find some images/Advertisements for the billboards .Also hunt around for reference material to create more realistic addons.So if you have some free time and are a net junkie PM or email me.

And now some new screenies enjoy. Also keep your suggestions comming.

[sgt_savage 586]

Some More..

Looks awesome. Best urban atmosphere around from the looks.

EDIT: How about an exclusive suburb up in the hills, with more expansive houses, but further apart. Also, a Las Vegas type 'Strip'?

[nikki191 0]

oh man that looks amazing.. my humble suggestion would be a shopping mall so i can hide out from the impending zombie outbreak that i plan for your island ...

Arne has just set up our own forums check it out here:

Dudes, you should call it "The Matrix"! Can't you hear Agent Smith boasting about it, now? "Have you ever marveled at its beauty?"

[-HUNTER- 1]

Some small canals, some uber elite villa's with driveways and the whole sjit. A Mc Donalds offcourse, a gasstation. Like Shell or something familiar. Hospital, police station, fire dept, airport, carpark, restaurant, club, bar, drive in movie theather, or regular one, trainstation, highway with overpass, like seen on Mia Iraz!!!

Tram line with the AEF train track!

This map is really amazing. But will all this stuff cause lag?

[sgt_savage 586]

Mc Donalds - DONE

Hospital - DONE

airport - DONE awaiting new terminals

bar - DONE

trainstation - DONE thanks to arne

highway with overpass - DONE

carpark - DONE

drive in movie theather - I want that 2 on the cards...

gasstation - In progress ,maatz

police station - Depending if agreement can be made between Real world Studios and the ERT mod

fire dept- As above

Lag well it's ok ATM even with viewdistance set to 500 you still feel ur inside a city.ATM it lags a lot less than some maps that use heavy follige.

Did someone say Grand Theft Auto? Nice job

[theghost913 0]

This looks exactly like the map ive been looking for...

The only good urban maps i have found were Torment Valley and some map called Enfilade (originally meant for a WWII mod)

Cant wait for this to be released

Just curious as to how big this awesome piece of ofp real estate is..

I do want chicks in bikini to make love in my crib's pool!   Oops! Did you make cribs?   I also want some "promenading avenue" where you show up your custom-built car and exchange glances with babes!

Btw: I'm not that disgusting. Just kiddin'

Don't want to hijack this thread, but the traffic-light system now seems to work with WrpTool set objects, too.

If you are making an island with urban character and want to beta-test the system (comes with a PDF that should answer all questions), contact me please via eMail / ICQ / MSN. No PMs please as I don't check them frequently.

thanx, Arne

Is there anymore news on this island? I was waiting for it to come out for some hardcore testing, but...

[Commando84 0]

yeah whats the status on this island? Been very curious to see how it looks like, the cities looks very impressive

bases and other stuff i've seen on the screens look good too.

This is of such high quality I just know BIA is going to copy this for their "exclusive simulator" .

If I may suggest something:

Polycount isn't the only thing that lags up missions, object count is too!.

If you have formations of thesame objects (traffic lights, rocks) I suggest you let somebody merge them into one object, on a large scale it really saves you 10 / 20 FPS.

Same with the lightning: one custommade (HUGE! lightsource in the center will be allot more easy on the gpu then over fifty lightsources.

Also, maybe it's an idea to create a high / low spec version?

Hehehe.... it looks nice, just REALLY hope I can have a parade trough the town without crawling FPS, and to be honest, the FPS in your screenshots speak for themselves: Los Lagcity

[JdB 151]

But with OFP's LOD system, OFP will render the entire object at the same high amount of detail, no matter if the end of the object is 5 meters away or 500 meters. It can have it's advantages, but also at times it's disadvantages

40 Rocks at 50 poly's each with the system you are thinking of = 2000 poly's. 40 Rocks at 50, 25, 12 and 4 poly's (lets assume they are equally divided (10 per ''LOD resolution'' over 1000 meters, with proper lods), will make just 930 poly's to be rendered. And with a low viewdistance even less. Making big objects doesn't always improve performance

It's not about rendering it, but maintaining it. deciding how to render 200 objects (on screen) takes allot more time then 50 objects on screen

Also, over 1000 meters, with proper lods, a single 50X50M rock "cliff" thing might only need 100 polygons, as they can all use one texture that appears to have depth .

EDIT: /\ look! it also saves out on the ammount of textures to load!
