Ovaron Island

[commander1985 10]

Hi all, after a long time i can now finally show you my first Arma2 Island, named "Ovaron" (Version 1.3)

Its a fictive island i was working on for a long time now.

I hope I can inspire some of you for the island.

Features:

- Fictive island

- east west reflected

- 99.9% of the buildings are passable

- 2 airports with functioning landing autopilot (located Northwest & Southeast)

- continuous river that finally allows the good use of boats in a mission

- size 10*10km

- area exists of grass sceneries with some fields and bigger woods and mountains

- vehicle module functions (SILVIE)

- And some other nice things you can discover

-Tools used: MirVis(by Pix) , L3DT Pro, Wilbur, Photoshop, Visitor 3 and my Brain

My thanx for their support go out to the following people:

Pix for writing a tool that allowed me to mirror the Island.

Planck, Beton, Gnat and the others on this great forum for helping me realising this.

And of course the Members of my Clan (TeamKommando) for supporting me over the last 8! Months.

[gossamersolid 155]

Very nice island, looks like it would be a lot of fun on warfare (minus AI being stupid at bridges like usual :))

Here's an overview for anybody who wants to know what it looks like:

[lNTRUDER 26]

Nice!

Looks like a fun place to wage war! I'm so all over this :D

[mattxr 9]

Theres a bridge on Churnarus lol, i only noticed it a few days ago never seen it before lmao!!

Well i tried my best to avoid that, it worked pretty well when i was testing it. However sometimes they seem to avoid a close bridge and use another one. Hopefully i can fix that issue in the next releases...

P.s.

It is a lot of fun to play a warfare on this, just had one with some mates today :) I just love flying a heli close over the Riverbed and Suprise the Enemy :D

[Specialist 10]

Looks good, Im going to download

[Mr. Charles 22]

Nice island Commander. I especially like the Industry North of NY and south of Moscow =)

[Kristian 47]

Looks cool! :p

Where is Helsinki? :(

[sic-disaster 311]

Looks cool! :p

Where is Helsinki? :(

Forget Helsinki, where's Amsterdam? :(

Goodlooking island by the looks of the screenshots, i'll have to download this first thing tomorrow morning! Right now it's time for bed :p

[enad 11]

Damn! Huge map! Great tho. Alot going on and alot to do!

Too many red/orange trees! Ahhh they burn! :p

[Fishercat 10]

Nice looking island. One problem is I tried to use it in the Armory and no matter what I try to use ie Little bird, F35 or boat etc., it spawns me as a woman floating in the water. Sometimes old lady, sometimes young chick with tramp stamp on lower back. Only addon I tried was Little Birds to fly around and check it out. Any ideas?

[MadMardigan409 10]

congrats on the release, downloading now :)

[Fox '09 14]

Damn! Huge map! Great tho. Alot going on and alot to do!

shut yo mouth, those trees are awesome

After playing, great map. Lots of steep hills!

[Spartan 163 0]

I love the map. Gonna do a Domination on this starting tonight. Can't wait for update.

[MadMardigan409 10]

Spent a few minutes flying around. I love the grass sat texture and the lake/ponds look really good with the neg sea level as apposed to the pond object. Very nice man, keep up the good work!

[Nightrain 10]

Nice job. It is really beautiful. :D

[SWT_Janowich 10]

Thats such a cool map! I can't believe it!

[Muecke 114]

Damn! Huge map! Great tho. Alot going on and alot to do!

Dude dont stare on trees all the time.You have to look how the ai will go over bridges not what colour the leaves have.

Leaves wont help you in fights they even doesnt fit as magazin anywhere...

Other islands are nice looking also but i cant stop staring on swimming ai ;)

[commander1985 10]

Forget Helsinki, where's Amsterdam? :(

Both are in, you just cant see em on the Screenshot :)

I have no Clue why that happens. I go check configs and logs if i can find something but i cant promise to fix that since i almost dont know anything about scripting.

Btw. i was reading a comment on another Community Page that someones PC crashes when he loads the Map. Anyone else got that Problem?

About the People that complain about to much red/yellow trees. Maybe i go green it a bit up in the future, but for now i want to concentrate on the bigger problems.
