A bridge to far

Recommended Posts

Hello all

I have read a review of OFP that lamented the lack of bridges in the game. it stated that the lack of rivers on the island was caused by the lack of computing power. Question Why do you need a river to have a bridge? why not just create a few canyons straddled by a bridge. Or create a map with multiple islands close together with bridges connecting them. Or create Nordic type fiords(sorry about the spelling) There is one sea inlet on one of the existing islands(I cannot remember its name of the top of my head which looks like a mini fiord so it must be possable. On one of the small islands of the cost of the island there is a jetty going out into the sea. whats the differance between a jetty and a bridge in programing terms?

Hope to hear your thoughts smile.gif

With the release of the landscape editor, those fortunate enough to recieve it can make rivers as they see fit.

But! Problems:

A bridge would either have to be

a: a permanent part of the landmass, which means it can't be blown up, no fun sad.gif Also, in this case, the water cannot run underneath it, as far as I've heard.

b: a "building", which means with the quality of the collision detection in OFP, there's a good chance you would have men and vehicles falling through the bridge, like people can walk through walls.

I would be very nice though to sail through a jungle river looking for some vc smugglers or something to that effect smile.gif
