Title: Volcano!!
Post by: Woodpeckersam on 18 Mar 2005, 22:46:00
Yo dudes, im giving an idea that will make ofp islands look a lot more realistic... how about creating Volcanoes.. that ones that erupts, spit lava etc.. this would be a fantastic addon!

I think this is not possible with the OFP Engine :-\
I only know one realistic Island but there are so many objects and trees and she is small and your PC would not work if you try these Island , i have an AMD 2200XP (2200Ghz , 512MB Ram) and the Island don't start and the PC gives up :P

search on ofp.gamezone after "Midship Island"

well even that one is still not to realistic, 5 meters is still just to far for cells, but there getting close.

Now if they found a way to have some cells be 50 and the places where elevation changes be like 3, then it wouldnt be as laggy

midship worked on my comp, but its too smal to really do anything

Look for Stunt island, pretty small and crappy, but had some sort of volcano. Spouted smoke and had a large drop to it. But like I said, pretty bad island unless you're using nitro scripts. ::) ;D

i have stunt island, i never saw it spurting smoke but there is a 1000m high volcano type thing

i prefer the 10km pillar, its fun with a halo guy


jump off, fix dinner, steer a bit, eat, watch tv, then come back in time to land

Post by: Dubieman on 22 Mar 2005, 04:47:07
Didn't someone make a giant fortified hill for vietnam era playing, but it was really four objects you had to put together? It might end up like that if you made it one addon, or just a big file size. :P

Title: Re:Volcano!!
Post by: Dubieman on 22 Mar 2005, 23:30:16
How big is the addon? (kb)

But looks good for a volcano, just needs some pretty drop effects for the smoke and maybe some eruptions. :)

Just a little nugget I'd like to add.. If you have artillery firing from inside the volcano it'll make like lava balls spewing out of it. or camcreate shells or something. eh eh EH?
Title: Re:Volcano!!
Post by: Woodpeckersam on 23 Mar 2005, 12:01:03

Post by: Serial Killer on 28 Mar 2005, 19:57:58
I fixed those textures, because that Volcano looked like a big rock. And how do the new textures looks with Nogova's textures? Let me show you... 8)

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v652/Serialkiller91/Newtextures.jpg)

Look at the bottom of that Volcano! You see that grass on it? I can put more grass there, if you like. I try to make it realistic, so give me feedback from it.
Title: Re:Volcano!!
Post by: DBR_ONIX on 28 Mar 2005, 20:40:33
Hmm, I dunno.. It's good for first addon. But aren't volanoes usualy wider at the base?
Can't wait for it to be finished though :)

Title: Re:Volcano!!
Post by: Serial Killer on 30 Mar 2005, 15:43:18
Hmm.. Ok, I make it more wider ( and bigger, ofcourse ;) )

Title: Re:Volcano!!
Post by: Serial Killer on 08 Apr 2005, 21:09:30
No, not yet.. Maybe tommorow, because tommorow I have a time. 8)


Sorry ppl, I'm not going to create lava for that Volcano, because it's too hard, etc. etc. BUT, if you know how to create some lava, please contact me at tomi.koivula@kotinet.com or by ICQ at 259471106.


Tommorow I will make some falling rock to that Volcano ;) You'll see some rocks falling inside from that Volcano. Hmm.. If they hit you, you're dead (http://ofp.gamezone.cz/forum/html/emoticons/devil.gif) Muahahahaaa!!!


Please give me some requests and feedback..!


Title: Re:Volcano!!
Post by: Serial Killer on 09 Apr 2005, 17:02:37
Ok. I'm going to publish it tommorow. I'm sorry people. There's no lava for it. It's too hard for me, so I can't create it :( But you can use that object as burning decoration on your missions. :) Last thing what I'm creating on it, it's falling rocks and burn effects - as I've said before. Then it's ready.
After that Volcano addon, I start to create a meteorite addon. More information, when THIS addon has been published.

EDIT: Pff! Little problems with scripts.. I don't know when this will be published now :-\

Try posting the script problem here.
Title: Re:Volcano!!
Post by: Serial Killer on 17 Apr 2005, 10:16:48
Ok, I need a script what destroys EVERYTHING near a certain object ( Volcano )
I don't want to create it as trigger, I want that it's a script.
Title: Re:Volcano!!
Post by: DBR_ONIX on 17 Apr 2005, 16:46:17
The Chain of Command's nuke had exactly this script somewhere..
Extract all the Cruise Missile scripts, and find files that contain NearestObject
