Modern OFP

[Metalmalte 0]

hi guys

since we now have such nice additions like the FFUR pack coming out soon, which puts our ofp into a modern and higher level, i thought, why don't the islands grow with then? i mean, making war in such countryside areas like on malden is not fun anymore then, i could imagine. we need bigger towns, with skyscrapes etc, in my opinion. the towns should also become more modern etc.

what i want to say, why is there no mod team out, that makes such buildings?

i would really like to make such things, but on my own that would take too long i think. i can texture and make models...

so who is also for such things?

It all comes down to how much lag they produce for lower spec machines. AFAIK a vast majority of the ofp community has less than 1.5ghz/2ghz machines and alot less than the latest gfx cards.

But the thing is, Why would you want any of those buildings? In all honesty i can't see a point in having "the Gherkin" in Ofp nor a 1,000 ft skyscraper.

na, thats were just examples. not that big things and not that futuristic. just wanted to say, that we could need new and modern buildings now, besides the modern addons coming out

I belive that there are islands with sky scrapers and so .

Good idea. But i think the ERT Mod or the Katastrophenschutz mod will bring us modern city islands. at least i hope so

hm ok, then i will wait for such a mod, like you wrote...

Yeah, we certainly need good city enviroments, or the AI:s great CQB abilities will not be used at all.

We tried new islands in FFUR 5.0 Beta but it made too many problems. BIS and other mission makers have designed their missions around the default islands, so replacing them with retextured and re-designed islands with different gradients and building locations often screwed things up.

I reckon BIS will encorporate something to make it easier to replace the standard islands in ArmA and OFP2.

just put up a small foretwon building in 2mins with a texture of what i was thinking. not bigger, well maybe, but not more than 5 stores. and i want to make it enterable.

this is just a test remember...

oh, what style should the buildings be? fitting to the standard islands or completely new modern style!?!

they wont produce much lag when you make them as big boxes... i guess.........

but a nice idea

2: negative

na, i just wanted to show the size of such building, what i want to make.

they just won't be boring boxes, but enterable. but i will start with this project when Col_Klink tells me, how to implement his DIB stuff...

it gets even better

Oh man a few weeks ago I wanted to start an OFP movie but I couldn't realize it because I couldn't find an island with a city. I hope that someone will do that!

Instead of huge metropoloses, we should have fair sized towns with highways and major roads connecting them instead of the little villiages in the middle of nowehere we have now. Kind of like suburban areas.

We are doing too new buildings, like sky scrapers and burned buildings. and some where you can go in, and get save from the wars outa the houses. I will show you guys later some screens about them. We are atm on them, ive created a new bridge too, not that one from the game C&C Tiberian sun, its one of my phantasy... you can drive on the bridge and under the bridge can walk civilians or soldiers in the tunnels.... i will post screens about it too laters....

Idea is nice but just isnt for OFP , better wait for ArmA and then see if it can be done properly. The current engine just pops its clogs when too many objects are around and fps drops to crap plus AI handling inside buildings is sh!t.

From what i saw in the OFP:E videos on gamespot for Xbox the in-building clipping issue had seem resolved or decreased to a considerable extent , so i am keeping my fingers crossed on ArmA also having an improvement on this aspect.

[Metalmalte 0]

well, then i will convert them to ArmA

I'd love to get my hands on some of those buildings they look great..

Well, part of my Arabic objects project is this:

I think buildings like this will fit good into your idea also

My pack will include more than only one exemplary of a building construction site.
