Unresolved Issues:

#There are still some ladders and possibly doors that are not functioning.

#More roads would be nice.

#SatMap/Mask not perfect.

#Some 'esthetical' errors.

-----------------------------

This version of my Rahmadi Extended is hopefully a build worthy of a v1.0 title, my next planned update of this map will be final and not released until full version of Visitor 3 and etc. is released.

LOL that didn't take long.

Thank you very much for the Ligthouse's Opteryx.

At the beginning i din't like Rahmadi but now after you modified it, it's one of my favorite islands.

So thank's

Yeah, it really rocks. Can you please add a couple of small villages (with houses that you can enter) at more distant sites so raid missions can be made? tnx!

[dmarkwick 261]

Brilliant

Next update is going to be pretty extensive, I might even expand the landmass and add a bigger more modern city which is inter-connected with the small village making the village sort of old town conjuncted with the new city.

I'll add some houses in some desolate places if that's what you guys want, actually that gave an idea, maybe I'll make a small drug cartel like compound somewhere.

-edit-

That "expand landmass" part is a very big maybe, don't know how doable that is without having to start from scratch, especially since Visitor's real-time land modifier is poop.

I'd like to see some really dense jungle over on the other side of the island, over the hill from the town. Maybe a few clearings for camps, shacks etc. That would certainly help me in my forest fire tests

I don't think landmass expansion is necessary, I'd like to see what you can do with existing landmass

If you're going to do more landmass, you might as well just do your own, original island that you can totally claim

Use Rahmadi as practice

I know roads are a bit bugged but could you make the Airfield into concrete?

Nice work

Nice Rahmadi Extension v1.0!!

I'm missing a pier or little harbor where you can go by ferry to Sahrani. More villages and roads maybe an highway/freeway would be fine too.

I've thought about it and didn't really think it would fit on the island, I could try though to see how it looks.

NoRailgunner You're crazy!

I don't think the Sahrani Wildlife Conservation Office would be to happy about A FREEWAY( !! ) going across Rahmadi.

[dmarkwick 261]

So how about the really dense jungle idea, is that a goer?

Hmm I don't really see a jungle thing happening unless I expand the landmass, I could have a look into it though but I want this project to be very good for performance (since other maps I'm working on are most likely to be a lag-o-rama), there was this jungle vegetation pack I downloaded a while ago though, filled up the entire island with jungle and still was playable.

"Sahrani Wildlife Conservation Office" well-beeing

Fair enough I just thought that the little "bowl" to the south of the town and over the hill would have made a very nice dense jungle area.

Just to let you know: entire tommorow multiplayer squadnight will be organized on your Rahmadi Extended

Story:

SOFOR did a couple of outstanding operations on Sahrani and peace soon prevailed. So RACS asked SOFOR to move unit to a Rahmadi airport and set up a small FOB there, where we will with cooperation of RACS police conduct several raids and try to find our what are villagers hiding. There is a rumour that a terrorist group is well "dug in" the village and its using island to transport new weapons to Sahrani via small fishing boats. Is that true? We'll find out tommorow.

If you have a squad, let me know via PM so we can maybe find a spot for your team. Operation on Rahmadi Extended will start Sep 20th, Thursday at 1800Z (2000 CEST).

update: photo of our FOB for the operation available here

-edit-

Uh silly me..

I'll see if I can join and maybe bring some friends, not promising anything though.

Nice job Opteryx. Could I request/suggest something - and I have no idea yet if it's possible - is there a way to simply multiply ALL the heights by 2, doubling all the height values? I don't want to see towering peaks, but a little more height in the hills, say 2 or 3 times higher, could make Rahmadi much more interesting?

Could you try to see if this is possible?

I think I see what you mean, like increasing the contrast of the heightmap? Well not quite like that but I see what you mean. I know I could do it if I could edit the heightmap in grayscale, but I don't know if V3 has this capability.

No matter, it was only an idea, but thanks for thinking about it.

looks sweet... now... expand the landmass and make it into a really nice big island

but please, take it in small steps and dont make a big piece of land with almost nothing on it, i have sadly seen a lot of that for OFP...

best example of the "expand piece by piece" island for OFP is the Anjou island (cant remember who made it and if it´s the full name)
