dling it and tryin it out ;D

Hey Mandible. I think your link a little stuffed. Link take me to the sign in page for TopCities.com. So i can't beta test it.
-
uh,
I'll check that, but it works for me! I'll give news when the link works.
-
the link works fine, got it checked by a friend.
update:
Found this link:
ftp://www.gamezone.cz/ofpd/islands/Visnorsk.zip (http://ftp://www.gamezone.cz/ofpd/islands/Visnorsk.zip)
Somehow my betaversion landed on that site.
-
Its a good island, lots of detail and i like the large forests (good for covert ops) but are you planning on expanding it and could you add a few small islands around it like the airport one but smaller ;D
-
Yes, expansion is in work. It seemed a bit stupid to have the airport that far away. I had three small very nice Islands with lots of rocky and narrow passes already done, but one wrong object screwed the whole thing up >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( and I had no copy with this expansion :'( :'( :'( . So now I'm building a big 2x2 km large 500m high mountain with roads going up two sides villages, passes..... between the island and the airport that links both of them. All hand made. :P Takes a loooooooooooooooooooooooot of time. should be ready for a first test in 3-4 days. (This time I got three!!!backup copies!
-
It seemed a bit stupid to have the airport that far away.
I suppose it is a little too far but i like launching attacks and black-ops insertions form that island to the main one ;D Good luck with the expansion ;)
-
I disagree about the distance between the two islands being too far. I love this map for single player mission design. The airport island is great for base design, and the main island with large forests/base/towns is awesome.
I have been looking for a map like this for a while. This map has prompted me to write scripts for heli-extractions, cargo drops etc. (Heli script posted on beta-script forum, built and tested on visnorsk.)
Also, if the player (based on airport island ) attacks the larger island, you really become dependent on air forces, which is a new challenge, especially if u load the main island with lots of AA :)
anyway, great island, thanks.
-
Well,
I'm pleased to hear such good critics. Thanks a lot.
I still have the old version of the island.
But...
firstflash:
to your dissapointment maybe, I added a new Island that links both main island and the airport. It's still in work, but about 70% is done. A good thing is that this Island can be closed to enemy tresspassing coz it's a mountainside with good playground for ambush situations.

(actually the hyperlink does not work on my homepage, so i ask (hope) the moderators to excuse my link to my files page, sorry :-[)
-
im sure the new version will be cool as well, i look forward to its release.
but i'll still keep the beta version :).
-
lo,
err, the new betaversion is available at the link above. ;)
-
Good work on the new version ;) Looks twice as good and i play on this island more then the official ones. ;D
-
re,
The Final version is now available at
http://mandible.topcities.com (http://mandible.topcities.com).
I'm having trouble submitting it to the addons section.
-
hello, I just downloaded your island, I'll test it out and let you know what I think. :)
-
hmm, not bad. Some of the roads are very steep, but it's still okay, the towns are a bit compressed though, with buildings being shoved together it can sometimes look ugly.
