New island!

i haven't used that program but i don't think you can make it entirely land because of the way the game is coded (i would imagine out of bounds is water no matter what the land is)

Just think about a mission, using 30mb's of addons, played

by 10 people.

Now press ok to start the mission, and see ya next week

at the map screen  <span id='postcolor'>

Well get real if someone would make a mission with 30 MB of addons that person would be stupid......... and it wouldn't be on any server Iknow of.

All i'm trying to say is their are a alot of addons that are small very small hell the new island is only 9k.

I can see it now your going to bitch cause you have to download an extra 9k to play a map lol.

I say again, it won't be done.

First of all, the island, where you want to have the map,

you already need to have installed to be able to join the

server, if not, you crash during the joining.

Second: you can't install addons and use them, while

the game is already running (you need to restart it to initialize

the new addons)

Just an example for a mission, big enough to fill the pipes

before arriving at the pre-briefing:

Winter Kolgujev 1.2 ..... 10,746 kb

Arctic Armour Pack 1.3 ..... 10,390 kb

STE Rangers v2.1 ..... 5,046 kb

This makes 25mb, and i would never say anybody

is stupid, because he used these 3 addons together.

(remember: there are still no east addon units present).

You can say now, there are already units included in winter

kolgujev, but this wouldn't stop people to use other units

(which they may prefer).

Why calling a mission designer to be stupid, for trying to

create missions as realistic as possible??

The way it goes actually, addons needs to be downloaded

seperately, a mission designer can be as creative as he wants,

because he doesn't have to take care about the mission transfer to the clients, due to the addons used.

This map though barren is stunningly beautiful, it makes me think once again that OFP is about the greatest game ever (so far)

just thought id add that
