.kju 3243 Posted January 6, 2007 i like your first post! some parts a bit hard to read, however overall you make very good use of different fonts, size and accentuation Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Linker Split 0 Posted January 6, 2007 thanks Q, but I want to know your opinion about this map, and plz not only "Awesome map! I love this one!" also hints and tips... I like the first replies but more criticism if you want... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
456820 0 Posted January 6, 2007 Well ive finally tested the map out a bit. I love it. Great atmosphere, great detail and everything looks great. However i havent noticed any of these Insects or butterflies. Is there a reason or this? I also havent noticed any plants or trees move? I used the code on the first post but got an error, something about a script not found. I checked my addons folder and the script pathwas pointing to an addon which isnt there. I also checked the .rar and the addon wasnt there either? I alo did get quite alot of lag - Fog set to 0.9 i get about 20fps. Maybe you could make a slightly less demanding version? Just delete a few plants or remove some scrips etc. I cant hink of anything to be added or improved reall, everything is great. Great job on the map. Â Really want to see more work by you like this. Edit - I also agree, great first post. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Linker Split 0 Posted January 6, 2007 456820 you are right, I need to create a sort of Low-fiversion of the map... still having the same atmosphere... for the missing file, <span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'>I forgot to add this little file!</span> FC_script.pbo Quote[/b] ]However i havent noticed any of these Insects or butterflies. Is there a reason or this? the reason is that they are addons... you'll find them in the editor under "Empty--->HDT_island Quote[/b] ]I also havent noticed any plants or trees move? the same thing here... in OFP, wrptool-placed objects can't have event handlers like INIT, KILLED... so the only thing I was able to do was to add them under the class "HOUSE" and then with a script, animate them...

punishment 1 Posted January 6, 2007 can ai see and shoot through bushes? it really gets on my tits when they do that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Linker Split 0 Posted January 6, 2007 Well, I think that, because of the config.cpp, the Ai will not see you at all... I mean, do you see all those bushes? they are sinlge 25x25m models, and they are congiured as houses... now i added in the config the line Quote[/b] ]camouflage=0.6; I think that if it works, then AI can't see you through bushes...

Linker Split 0 Posted January 7, 2007 Men can you explain me one thing? If me and one of my friends have this map on thie PCs and we would play MP on a Server (i.e. Terra server) do we need to upload the map in the server too? Or it's just easy that we all have the same addons??? I can't figure this out, cause we want to play some CTI.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
456820 0 Posted January 7, 2007 From what i know and have tested, the server does need all the correct addons too or it will throw you back to the missions screen as the server also needs to 'play' the game and if the addons arent on the server its like playing a mission without having the addons on your own pc. You can play like that on lan though providing you both have the addons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sudayev 27 Posted January 7, 2007 Excuse me, can someone tell me if this piece of art is intended for any gameplay or only for ohh`s and ahh`s ? I do not have computer from Nasa labs and I just want to know if its playable somehow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Linker Split 0 Posted January 7, 2007 man, I'm the creator of the map... you can use this map cause you don't need a fast computer since mine isn't good... btw, INFO here! at OFP.INFO! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
456820 0 Posted January 7, 2007 Well the map is perfectly playble but you have to restrict the viewdistance or use fog to have a playable fps. Try 0 sertfog 0.7 in the players init field, will raise your fps and adds to atmosphere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cbfasi 4 Posted January 8, 2007 man, I'm the creator of the map... you can use this map cause you don't need a fast computer since mine isn't good...btw, INFO here! at OFP.INFO! You computer not that good??? 3.0 ghz rather good when there are still many on machines lower that 2.0ghz! With 16-20 on a 3.0ghz I not even going to grab this as I would likely have 3-fps, even with a better gfx card (256mb). Pics look rather good though.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
