CameronMcDonald 147 Posted May 7, 2006 Yeah, I think it might change. I was pretty sceptical about multiple gunner positions when AA was first announced as merely a tweaked OFP - but they've fitted that in now too, so I feel much better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chunder 0 Posted May 7, 2006 Because it might be an engine related issue. Having moving waterways running down the correct contours in varying degrees could be a significant problem that we are unaware about. I would have thought that after 5 years since opfp, that the development team have thought numerous times about including it, but havn't. Obviously for a reason as it's a pretty important feature. besides this is not on the topic. Post it in what you wish for armed assault thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GBee 0 Posted May 7, 2006 Because it might be an engine related issue. Having moving waterways running down the correct contours in varying degrees could be a significant problem that we are unaware about. Well as was said in the Rivers and Streams thread, it wouldn't have to be a moving body of water. I'd be quite happy with a static body with an animated surface texture. We already know they can manage that, there are ponds in OFP:E Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
berghoff 11 Posted May 7, 2006 We were already told that there were no rivers or streams in ArmA. Funny and in 1 Interview rivers were said to be supported but in a limited way . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Ti0n3r Posted May 7, 2006 The pond south of Le Moule (Elite) is proof enough for me 1. The water doesn't act the same way as the sea (no mega waves). 2. It's located above the sea level. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CsonkaPityu 0 Posted May 7, 2006 Can you show a few pics of that pond? I'd really like to see it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Ti0n3r Posted May 7, 2006 Do boats/bmps float on it? Otherwise its useless It's not deep enough, so no. But you'll drown if you go prone in the pond, so I bet they would float if it was deeper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GBee 0 Posted May 7, 2006 There is a problem with the ponds in Elite, fire a couple of rockets into them from a helecopter and the 'water' can end up float on it's side in the air. Not easy to say whether anything would float on the ponds, they are too small/shallow for a PBR to fit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bravo 6 0 Posted May 7, 2006 i believe we are slightly running aways from the main topic.. thouth i like your ideas! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Ti0n3r Posted May 7, 2006 This is nice; Empty - Sphere (Big plastic ball) will float in the pond. Edit: Just found out that you can 'destroy' the water. I placed 3 satchels in it and blew them. The water just disappeared. Sorry for going offtopic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GBee 0 Posted May 7, 2006 This is nice; Empty - Sphere (Big plastic ball) will float in the pond. Very nice! Never noticed the sphere before, now if that isn't a great demo of OFP:E physics I don't know what is! I stuck it at the top of a slope above the North Chotain pond, gave it a small push and watched it roll down the hill into the pond I even managed to crawl under the ball whilst it floated on the surface above Though I did 'swallow' some of the water Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Journeyman 0 Posted May 7, 2006 I even managed to crawl under the ball whilst it floated on the surface above   Though I did 'swallow' some of the water  Did the water taste salty or fresh? If it tasted fresh this would confirm that BIS are using different water for their ponds!  Shit, I think we need some more screen shots!   Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Commando84 0 Posted May 8, 2006 Nice pics there, i seen some of them before from the ign but some stuff i noticed was different from the first time i saw them and that was how very detailed the minigun on the blackhawks was Also loved the new soldiers more each time i see them, the colours and the lightning is making me want the game even more each time ..

ntokarek 0 Posted May 8, 2006 I just wanna add to the question about the lakes in that map shown, if you look closely its just high ground, like a hill or mountain and thats the "shadow" being shown off by the sun Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
