Sahrani, active and bustling country

[JackandBlood 10]

Hi I'm been searching, trying to find a map of any major city in sahrani where modders have created an active population of pedestrian civilians, cars, traffic, buses, police, etc. making for a bustling busy town. I'd like the traffic and civilians and whatnot to be on loops so the city is always active. I think Paradiso would be good for this. I just think it would be really cool to cruise around in the Black HMMWV then go outside city limits and make a nice firing range. Would be a great backdrop for some sort of Bourne Identity type espionage mission.

Anyways if such an asset exists, someone please steer me towards it.

I just want like a mission file with no real mission, just highly populated, busy cities (alots of way points and AI rountines and what not. That I can then add single player elements too. Not really interested in the MP role playing mods like Sahraniville or Sahrani-Life. THanks for any leads

it isnt hard to make, just takes a couple of evenings grappling with the editor. you want it done right, do it yerself ;-)

well ya but I figure maybe someone has come up with a script that makes traffic behave like traffic should. Peds walking along and seemingly pursuing some goal. And stuff like that. Something I can blend into and have like an espionage feel. If i make this theres going to be an accident at every intersection, peds will stand there staring into space. Thats pretty much the extent of what im capable of at this point.

I'm thinking a Jason Bourne escapade. Get into the city, meet with the ridiculous snake suit dressed arms dealer, buy a nice rifle, setup atop a high rise, take out a target through his car window (Wooo!). Peds start running around screaming. You got 2 minutes to exfil the city or something. Damn maybe someone has already made something like this, would be a good one. Thing about ARMA is all this stuff is possible and the assets are there too, I'm just not much of a programmer. But hey if something similar already exists, let me know!

Maybe you should look at the "Serial Killer" mission, and its successor for ArmA2 - i haven't seen the ArmA2 version myself, but i suppose there should be some pedestrians (for killer to kill them) and maybe they will also use cars, etc.

...i don't have the links, but if you search these forums, you should be able to find it.

I was also trying to achieve something like you describe, for my ArmA "Psycho Slayer" mission, but i didn't finished it yet (no time, too much other things to do, loss of interest, etc.).

Anyway, i will try to dig up the scripts and mission files, and post it here, maybe it will help you start.

I found something like this...

I can't remember where...

and I can't remember what it was called.... hehe... dammit...

I do have the mission folder right here though... the demo is called "Public Transport" and it basically is a demo mission you can preview in the editor - a full 4 loop public transport system using bus stops - cities are populated, bus passngers, pedestrians....

It's very impressive and may just be the base you're looking for to develop into a mission...

**EDIT**

Found the thread! - it's HERE

Wow this community is awesome. It's going to take some time for me to wrap my head around these resources, thanks.

[bushlurker 46]

you're welcome... Be sure to let us know - in the appropriate thread ;)- how the mission shapes up - we might ALL wanna play!

PS - Also search for Urban Patrol Script (UPS) by Kronsky - ultra-easy and highly configurable script for populating defined areas with stuff...

Theres another script by Norrin which combines with UPS to allow manned vehicles to meander around (AIvehicleRespawn, or something - you'll find it somewhere in the Arma 2 section but it works fine with Arma 1 - also quick and easy to use...
