OPF World

[calm_terror]

I jsut had this idea.
since the tonal island is aroudn 4 times larger then the normal islands, how aboot a huge map with all the OFP islands in one "world"?
maybe only the first 4 and if there is room novocia?

[deaddog]

That sounds like a good idea.  There are some new, retextured version of the original islands.  Maybe someone could combine them all.  Still being separate islands but on one big map.

That could give a new dimension to capture the island type games.

Won't it be to lagging for low-end users ?

[deaddog]

Yeah, it probably would but the concept is kind of cool.

One way around that would be to have one of the islands be the desert version.  Not near as many objects.

You could have Winter Kolgujev up north and jungle Everon down south

That's a big climate change for 50 Km  ;D

[SHOT@RUSIANS]

lol u would have to have desert isle in the center

[m21man]

No, just have Nogova, Kolgujev, Malden, and Everon in one 25 x 25 world. The desert island is really just a place for beta testing desert stuff, it really is an unpleasant contrast to the other islands when you're looking for quality.

Won't it be to lagging for low-end users ?

You don't have to download it. It will be laggy on old computers, but quality and crappy PCs don't mix.

[Mr_Shady]

Awesome idea! You could do some really cool inter-island operations: getting helicoptered from Everon to Malden for some sneaky-beaky covert work anyone?

[m21man]

Now, how would one make this island? I assume you can't just copy and paste the .wrp files into one map. I'll go and ask on the PMC forums.

[Planck]

You can import each island terrain into one large area, but I think it would not include the objects on each island.

At least 3 of the islands would have no objects on them.

Not sure if hex editing would help in that area, but it would be a lot of work.

Is anyone interested in doing this?

[DeLiltMon]

Sounds like a brilliant idea to me
And not only could you fly about between the islands but there'd be large chunks of water for boats to operate in in too, everything from sneaky raids in zodiacs to hunting down HMS Hermes.

something like these then fellas

These were made with the excellent WrpTool util.
(before you ask, I dont have them, so can't hook you up)

what about that age old problem of having only one WORKING (by that i mean the AI landing on it) airstrip wouldnt that be a minor hitch in making this?

[m21man]

A possible solution to the airstrip prolem is to import the BIS islands into the world, and then create a custom island in the center of the world. The custom island would be about the same distance from each BIS island, and on this new island there would be a large airport.
