Cheers.

[mr reality 0]

Ahh good, another version of my most used island. Tonight i will test out your desert opfor vehicles on this most excellent terrain.

[ocramweb 0]

Ah, I see, well, I'm looking forward for your version. Still, I think you should have alerted me earlier that you were going solo.

Edit: Also, I released my final version on the first page.

Well done.

Ok McNools as promise here is the requested Full config.cpp file just copy past, version forgotten updated and insects sold to a foreign country

Update fast before too much mirrors get the first one.

I think your desert reskin vehicules are going to have more kilometers than the real ones...

=DST= OcramWeb

[mcnools 62]

Thanks but, I have no time updating it now :/ might put that in a later version, if there is one ever. But thanks.

[Pillage 0]

I was thinking since ocramweb has released his sandy 'desert' version, you could perhaps make yours more african 'dry' bush similar to Ebuds Tonal Redux project for OFP. Tonal Redux was the best update to the best addon pack ever made for OFP in my opinion.

[BUNNY 0]

I'm dreaming of starting a map project myself. What software is there for map making to arma? Do I need several or just Visitor2?

Does anyone know any good step-by-step tutorials for map making?

Well, I won't do much work for this no more, since I really don't have time for ArmA-modding, however, if there's a new version, the changes will be that the few dense forest-parts that are in the map will have been removed.

And BUNNY, this is just a retexture, map-editing isn't possible yes (as far as I know) so you'll just have to wait for the proper tools to be released, they will, eventually.

[mcnools 62]

A new version is out, enjoy.

(on the first page)

Very nice, McNools!

Love the new plants.

Thx a lot,

Yeah I know, it's because the main-menu is loading the Rahmadi-island, wich is using textures I've removed so everyone should get that error.

[Lester 0]

Nice work, but to many errors in the *.rpt ...

Please use for further releases this ODST.P3D instead of yours

http://a.kiel.us/odst.p3d (381 Byte) <Link deactivated>

The "ODST class" errors are history after this 2 minute work and the island gain some more frames too.

hmm, actually, I don't even know what it does.

[Lester 0]

Do it and enjoy, i use a modified version (including the old City names) and it significant speed up the framerate.

I see ... also some citynames would be nice in the next versions like in the islands before.

[ocramweb 0]

that is called stilling work from other people !

and I start to be fed up to see my work under other people's name,My files are not to be distributed or used outside of my addon. as written in the readme file of Saharalite v2.

ODST file is Ocram from DST not McNool.

my work to improove frame rate is Saharalite work

Moderator please take those links out.

[mcpxxl 2]

He does not steal anything ... he fixed something and give it back !

No release of a new island and no new credits or something else.

Your thing does a lot of rpt entrys and this is not good for the performance

Not on clients and also not on servers

Sometimes i realy wonder why people do not use the rpt-entrys to check their work.

Both of you did a fine job and he would only be help you i think

Well, I'm not going to use the file he posted anyway, since this is most likely the last version of this island.

[Lester 0]

Oh my god ... what a mess

I don't release anything of my improvements public !

Yes, i have changed some things only for private use and have hoped that the "Original stealed by the ArmA Demo brom BIS" can also can use this performance gain and also Bugfixing in the next version.

However, do what you want and think about the words posted here,

that was definatly the last enhancement i posted here for this project.

[JanMasterson 0]

it may be cool if knowledgeable people like Ocramweb and Lester could explain what they did to share what they know rather than acting like childs ("It's mine! No, Mine!...")

Good job all

Good job all

I haven't say this at any point, i only show a easy method to enhance this island to the author/coauthor/whatever

... but the answer for that was flameing, as i see

[[aps]gnat 28]

Sorry, but those who hoard knowledge don't get any respect from me as "addon makers" ..... because thats the exact opposite of what made the OFP Community so great.

Viva la Share !

I agree with you, I think everyone should share their knowledge freely, that's what makes a good community.

all i have to say is that Bis America's Army demo as not been published under EA games name !

so there is no raison for that to happen here.

and the demo island was not steeled, BIS was asked and said it was ok

now if you want a file from someone else i think the first thing to do is to ask the owner first, and then if he agreed, the second thing is not to take is name out of the files....

Respect regarding other people work is my only point here.

That is the only thing I have to say, agreed or not, that is the way I think it should work
