Nagual

I can't speak for other island makers of course, but for the bas island we don't have snow as it just doesnt fit in. There is also no mountains big enough to warrant snow on the isle, its all pretty low terrain. I saw the behind enemy lines movie a few weeks ago, and agree that sort of setting would be very nice in ofp, but seems more fitting for eastern europe settings than the bas isle.

Hellfish, neon itself isn't doable, but wait and see ;) Borders, the main river acts as border atm, with only a few easily defended crossings. There are no LZ's in the jungle, fast roping is nearly always your best option for insertion there (aside from water insertions).

Heh i need to update that gallery, they are all pretty old pics. The terrain is pretty much a mix of desert, savanna and jungle, with each AO made with seals, deltas, rangers and helos in mind. And a few places where a ladder extraction in a blackhawks is the only way to fly out ;) Bases..are pretty much run down jungle bases and well positioned local army bases. I havent seen thin red line, but might soon, have been watching a few movies for ideas. Tears of the Sun has only just made it to australian cinemas, opening in a day or so, so thats on the list ;)

It wont be too bad resources wise, but a better pc will like it alot more. Ingame the worst part is off course the jungle, but i balance that with upping the fog for missions (look much better that way). The jungle was never intended to be played with high view distance, and there are ways to make it smooth on the mission makers side. Aside from that its pretty normal ingame, but the more powerful pc the better. I only run a 1ghz celeron so at least it will be playable for that. i haven really seen meekong, so cant say, but the bas one is not all single trees. The mission editor map can be a bit sluggish compared to less detailed bis islands, but nothing near as bad as a-lone-wolfs large island test.

The blackhawks are done, but some of us at bas get no rest: While ive been saying the isle is nearly done for a long time, this time i think it is close. R/L is making it much harder to keep working on it, so one way or another it will be finished quite soon. I measured it a bit recently, 17km wide x 12km high, so plenty of nice space for missions and helo flying.

Hard to spend days pointing a camera at the H60's without taking a few pics, so here's a few: 1 2 3 4

*cough* BH Demo Missions 2 And also : A bonus.

And a bigger one of 2nd pic.

heh, hmmm. Well, the Desert pack is not being made BECAUSE of the island (lol, people, such as me, have been waiting for the complete maarfy des addons for ages), it just happens that they can be used togeather. As far as any full desert island, you will have to wait and see wont you. Nothing to shoot at? Try reading a few pages back, OPFOR has been mentioned multiple times in this thread. That point just sounds like an attempt to sound dis-satisfied...with something you haven't/will not be paying for...hmm that makes sense. Hmm ,make your own woodland missions, with your own woodland hummers maybe? BAS have made very nice woodland units, so..hmmm.

hehe, its fun for me, especially in coop. First time i discovered STT Desert Malden and MAF desert units i didnt see the the bis islands for weeks. The again, most of australia is desert, so maybe i have a thing for it. Why not just make your own, woodland, missons, and dont complain about other people liking something different.

Well, i had been asking around for a UAZ MG for a while, for game balance in general, and to use with some other bas projects. I asked around for a while, tried making my own, then eventually Deadmeat agreed to make it once he had breathing room from the Des Pack. From there it snowballed, as Evis was alreay invovled in the other projects. So we have our reasons for such vehicles, as it makes other things much more complete.

About 30-40 minutes, between other things. Much longer and i would of spent the time making missions or on the island ;) One day i will spend some time making a really good video, its just that good ones are like cutscenes, which takes ages (delta demo intro for example took an abnormal amount of time to make)

Yes, airfield is already working well, the AI like it. There is a few secondary airstrips around too for human players.

1. Yeah, we have been talking about that a bit, and most likely will be changing the bridges, its just a delicate job as it took a loong time to place them all properly. Considering this is being built in wrpedit we dont have the easy road options of V2. 2. Those buildings were the first objects ever placed on the terrain, well over a year ago. So they are due to go, but they are holding the place for something else. Nearly all the objects on the island will be new ones in the 1.0 version. Consider that video the last record of the "old" isle look, as even the new ground textures alone improve the look very much.

Yes, though i didn't make those guys, so i cant say much more than that. But they will be part of the island release.

Heres another something, for those who want to know:Isle Vid 4 That video was made last week, since then the isle has got new ground textures and lots of nice changes. There is also some obvious LOD flipping, as even the jungle is using placeholder textures in this video. If you dont have windows media 9 codec you can view it in winamp (i think), but the colors will be screwy. As a team BAS is shaping this island up nicely.

No, not worth getting that excited yet. Alot can change in 3/4 months.

I remember that pic caused a stir as people believed that BAS had cracked walking around on a moving vehicle. heh, yeah it was suprising the way people took that. That pic was actually taken just for bas, not for release, but it got out anway.

A few i found cleaning out hard drive: last but not least! And an old one, some might remember it. edit: pic size over 100kb

heh, ask a good question, get a good answer. There are no MH60 pics, do you think that policy will be broken cause you asked ?

Sure.

Yes.

No.

And my galleries are back online here. Havent been updated for a while though.

Good.
