Desert Island

Recommended Posts

crowe_desertisland.jpg

This is the result of my attempt :D to create an empty island with enough space to place objects. You can use this island like the desert island which came with OFP:CWC but it has a bit different shape.

Thanks to the-f for help with the config.

Feedback, please don't take this harshly.

This map is pretty massive!! Which is somewhat good, but I think there should be an airfield and a town somewhere. Perhaps even making it smaller with the Khe Sahn stationed off the coast.

Just my opinion, although I will still use the map a lot I'm sure.

If changes are made, too, I think having a rather tall plateau on one side would cool as well.

Anyways, cool map, I'll use it, those are just my thoughts.

You can spawn LHDs by using this script by ArmaTec

Thats why i decided not to place a carrier.

If you want a town or airfield on it - grab an editorupgrade and build it yourself. This island gives you the possibility to place anything you can imagine.

The only thing you cant place in the editor is flat, paved runways... Atleast not that I know of.... I think that's what he was meaning as a airfield, not really the buildings, but the paved runways.

@Trevon.

Maybe add your own town.

Use the @Map Addon

When i place a, A Runway_Beton and i run to the west on it, it disapears and stotters,

I need to place some init line to attach it?

Or is the ground not that flat enough?

For some reason your island gives me worse performance than Chernarus, which is weird since it's completely empty.

Hmm i also get worse performance, i get 1fps when i fly a F35 over it?

When i can run chernaurus great, with same settings.

If i'm in AH-1z or infantry it's fine, but still not as good fps as chernaurus.

Haven't tried to fly a jet over it yet, but other than that, I get good fps when in the helo's also, and on the WWII ships placed on the map (in the water of course) :P

As for laying out a runway, I don't think you'll be able to get AI to land on it, if memory serves me well.

This is a great island just for clans/squads to setup example training missions or training MOUT areas, and be able to add or remove objects with little trouble at all.

As I'm having to do, if you are really interested in learning map making, you have to do like I'm doing (sacrificing my marriage to go through each and every resource available out there to learn the process step by step :))

Good luck, and great work Crowe

If only you could place roads with the ingame editor, or can you with a mod?

Most editor upgrades have road pieces in there,although i havent check the ones for ArmA2.:cool:

This type of island is idea for the Dm/Tdm etc ppl to create their missions on! :)
