Strange thing is, when flying over this island i get more stutter and lag, than on full Sahrani with same settings.

Besides that, nice look and "feel" of that island.

Are you sure, that you`re unpacker didn`t created an "@Island" modfolder in the "@Mapfact\addons" folder?

Edit:

So looks my shortcut, and everything works normal.

Hmmm, IMHO it is a little more "post-apocalyptically dead" rather than "dry" - even desert plants are not brown.

Not evry dry ground is light sand brown (Lanzarote Cyprus as Sample)

So we (Lester) decided to use a different darker Colour.

And not every Island should be look equal we think.

So now there are three kind of it:

Darker    Lester`s

Medium  MC_Nools´s

Light     Orcan Web´s

I actually had a DREAM where I wrote some ideas for this map, so I'll write them in real-life too.

Actually, the bushes should be a bit more greenish, even in deserts some things manage to live so.. (I actually did the mistake of making everything brown in my plants-addon for my island too).

Also, a version with almost no trees at all for a complete desert-like experience would be nice (I know ocramweb is working on this, but it doesn't seem like there's much happening in that front).

Very nice and far more realistic island then bi`s. It has more natural feeling with brownish and redish grass and bushes...with big plus to performace and optimization.

Keep it up Mapfact!...great work!. thumbs-up.gif
