==========================================================
Notes:
==========================================================
Tonal Isle is a large world map for Operation Flashpoint: Resistance.
Set on the south east coast Africa, and combined with BAS OPFOR, it offers a wide variety of environments and battlefields for OFP, and a scenario / theme to open up new missions in the Tonal world.
The Tonal project has taken a very long time make, with countless hours poured into it over this year (2003) and before. But it is not perfect, so future versions will finalize things like urban models and vegetation (see below).

Being larger than the standard BIS islands, the Tonal isle can be very demanding for a PC, so the more powerful machine the better, especially for mission editors. Use of fog in places like the jungle does make the lag much more playable, the jungle was always intended to be used with weather fog limiting the view distance.

The Tonali 1 isle is a extra bonus peripheral island, small and fairly rough, it is a lower-end isle for smoother editing and gameplay, a bonus for lower end PC players.

There is a lot of space on the Tonal isles, so explore

==========================================================
BAS OPFOR:
==========================================================
The bas isle is intended to be used with the BAS OPFOR African units. The rebel and government soldiers and vehicles can be used for all sorts of african based conflicts on the isles.
See the included BAS Tonal File for detailed information on the Tonal Background.
The islands have been built around government, rebel, civilian and militia areas, the OPFOR addon provides units who fit and fight well in each area.

==========================================================
Texture Notes:
==========================================================
The island land textures are custom made, with transtions generated in Visitor 2, then hand placed in wrpedit and wrptool.
The jungle land texture was taken from a google search, then edited. I haved tried to find its orginal source but have not so far.
2 other textures are edited versions of royalty free textures found online.
Some base base Textures are from original BIS resistance textures.

The runway textures at the main desert airport were made by Leone, some edited by nagual. So special thanks to Leone for going to the trouble of sending a CD full of textures through the mail.

A small number of jungle plant textures were orginally edits from textures in the Deadly Dozen : Pacific Theater game, they have been edited since then and mixed with totally new textures.

Aside from the above, the majority of custom textures were hand made by BAS texturer Ebud, who put countless hours into the island textures, many based from reference pictures of real african places.

==========================================================
Known Issues:
==========================================================
Map lag: due to the size of the map, and detail of the terrain in the central and western area, the editor and ingame map is sluggish. When zoomed in to around medium it can be hard to click / double click on depending on the power of your PC. Zooming out further or all the way in often helps when mission editing. Setting land textures to 512x512 in OFP prefrences can also help.

General Lag / system intensive: As said earlier, the Tonal mainland is resource hungry. It best to find a good balance between veiw distance, terrain and other video settings.

Misc Model bugs: with lots of custom models, many are some of the first models by nagual, expect some anomalies somewhere, there's sure to be something missed.

==========================================================
Mission Notes:
==========================================================
All missions are considered bonus items, so enjoy them for what they are worth.
In the Insurgency campaign, sometimes you are granted CAS (untested in mp). To call in an AREA or PRECISION strike you need to select it, then click on the map where you want the Area or strike point to be. The CAS mission will begin after clicking the map.

==========================================================
Future Versions:
==========================================================
The first version of Tonal isle will be improved upon sometime in the future. More work will be done on jungle objects, city objects and details, general lods, bug fixes and more scripts and sounds. Grasses and trees will also still be added and improved. This will take time, but with 1.0 out it can be done at its own pace (better than releasing 1.0 next year)
The general layout will remain the same. Potentially more terrain in the future, like a seperate island somewhere out in the ocean, depending on map lag.
The main airport will also get some more attention after the models are finished.

The main focus of future updates will be improving performance, work on the Tonali's, and continuation of the ongoing Insurgency campaign.

More information, updates and mission packs can be found on the Ballistic main site and:

==========================================================
Scripts:
==========================================================
*************************************
Mist
To activate TJ's excellent ground mist script (good for jungle swamps), exec the following line in an game logics init field:
[this,.7,500,1] exec "\bas_o\s\mist.sqs"

[Object,Delay,Lifetime,Velocity] exec "\bas_o\s\bas_mist.sqs"
[Object,Delay,Lifetime] exec "\bas_o\s\bas_sand.sqs"
[Object,Delay,Lifetime] exec "\bas_o\s\bas_mist2.sqs"

The higher the delay, the less strain the mists puts on the PC, but makes the mist thinner. Really thick mist looks good but needs a strong PC.
*************************************
MP Video Options
To include a dialog in MP missions for setting terrain detail and view distance, the following can be used:

Description.ext:
#include <bas_i1\s\bas_MPvideo.hpp>

Init.sqs:
[] exec "\bas_i1\s\vidoptions.sqs"

Ingame Radio Trigger:
[] exec "\bas_i1\s\dlg_video.sqs"
*************************************
River Crossing:
To prevent AI from going prone in jungle swamps, you can use a river crossing script by Rom:
Triggers (any amount of trigger covering watery areas) setup like:

Size
Anybody
Present
Repeated

Then exec in a gamelogic or unit init:
[trigger1,trigger2,...] exec "\bas_o\s\BASrivercrossing.sqs"

Any unit that steps into the trigger area will be checked, and when they go near water they will enter "stand up" mode and not go prone, saving them from drowning in combat. The units will be set back to AUTO mode after leaving the water.
*************************************
BAS Blackhawk Map:
The main Tonal island is already setup to use the map in the BAS blackhawks. The blackhawk addons will automatically load the island map, you need to add this line to the init field to setup the crosshair (due to larger island size):

bas_60mapsize = 512

*************************************
==========================================================
Music:
==========================================================
Classname - Title
bas_islemuse1
bas_islemuse2 - Survival
bas_islemuse3 - Theme
bas_islemuse4 - Horizon

1st Tonal Scouts Company Background:
Formed by a retired Rhodesian captain and former legionnaire, the Tonal Scouts are the mainland's first line of defense.
Mostly made up of white men from African bush wars, the scouts are expert trackers, stalkers, hunters and guerillas, though they recruit indigenous young men with hunting and tracking talents. Spending their time patrolling remote and jungle regions of Tonal, the scouts are the primary intel source for the TDF.
They don't have the hardware of the western special forces, but with their training and knowledge of the archipelago they are the elite of the TDF.

As the only TDF unit capable of spending extended time in the jungles, the scouts are also used for direct action and rescue missions, and their specialty of guerilla warfare and counter insurgency operations.
Following the 2003 Government policy of zero-tolerance of rebels forces, the Tonal Scouts have been working tirelessly on locating and destroying rebel assets in the jungle and suppressing rebel income sources.
Aside from the jungle, the scouts are often used to support regular TDF infantry in assault, as their skill and knowledge of the terrain can turn the tide of many battles.

The scouts are also used as guides for international peacekeepers and occasional SF who deploy. Interactions with SF has also given the Tonal Scouts extra counter-insurgency training. They have the skills for undercover work amongst the population, and are in closer contact with the locals than any other TDF soldiers. Due to tight knit tribal group being near impossible to infiltrate, local black scouts will more often be used for undercover work. The majority of plain-clothes operations by scouts have taken place at the end of longer investigations, during the raids and busts in towns and Tonali's that occur often to suppress rising anti-government militia.


=====================================================================
Rebel Forces:
=====================================================================
Tonal Rebellion Front
Manpower:
Unknown, civilian population is constantly filtering in and out of rebel training camps.

Income:
Kidnapping and extortion of westerners, Drug and Weapons smuggling, keeping supply lines open to African countries who relied heavily on soviet arms.
Food is taken both from jungle and ambush/theft of supply convoys, and control of southern farms. In time of famine rebels often capture Tonal towns to hoard all supplies, or use plain clothes militias to gain access to grain stores.
Two tactics used by the rebels are establishing firm footholds in the hearts and minds of the civilians, for militias, and starving Tatu by controlling farms and Tonali's.

Organization:
The TRF operate by a mix of traditional tribal structure and military ranking/organization. Their base of operations is the jungles of Zinaba in the east of Tonal, and fight often with the TDF over the northern territories. Using dirt tracks through the jungle, the rebels can deploy throughout the south, center and north eastern areas of tonal, though prefer raids and guerilla attacks over open fighting.

The tribal side of their culture makes them a fierce enemy, with perceived glory for combat and harsh penalties for inaction or insubordenance. While violent and reckless in their attacks on the TDF and civilians, they are a disciplined force when they are pushed, and extremely hard to exterminate due to their ability to take off uniforms and merge into the population. The TRF have never fully lost Zinaba to the government.

Rebels forces have ex soviet hardware stashed throughout the jungles, one of the telling factors of imminent rebel action is when the move their armour, something they do not do often to avoid detection by the small but powerful TDF air force.

lets see w/ the help of my good freind Cpl Vagabond, i cleared out my addons folder and voila, it works, and i must say, its beutifull  :'( ;D :thumbsup: :wow: :beat: :cheers: :afro: :gunman: :joystick: :toocool:

Did you play that SF Forces single mission? The jungle fighting in that mission had my heart going like a hammer.

[m21man]

Also, I've got a prediction. Have you scoped out the large city to the east of the island, the city named Tatu? I predict that the moment BAS releases the Updated Delta/Ranger pack and the Desert Vehicles pack, we'll have more BHD missions than can be counted taking place in that city .

Hi Ballistic studios! I love your stuff and i hope you some day will try making some cool ships or enterable buildings pack but thats not my issue here. I downloaded the basopforpack + islands after 3 retries and put your stuff in the res addons folder, but then one of the pbo's named Jam_maagzines wanted to over write another file...
from your mh60 & jam stuff and i clicked yes  then when i started the game it says that my config is missing weapons something and then i realize that maybe i shouldn't have overwritten the file.
So then i make a mod folder and put the stuff there instead and download the bas mh60 again and put back the jam_magazines pbo.
then it works a lot better exep for when i start ofp i get 'no entry config.bin/cfgWeapons_JAM_M79'. Then i actaully can preview a mission in tha editor, but......of course something bad happens again ...
everytime im throwing a grenade the first time it comes a error message saying script \JAM_Magazines\FX\FiredEH.sqs not found,  there's plenty of nice troops to choose from but i can't use them all, beacuse when i try previewing a mission when i have put in a uaz PK or some "-rebel soldier" i get a error message saying No entry '.modelspecial'.

 :'( anyone please help me out whats wrong?! is one of the pbo files damaged or what?

[Homefry31464]

Wow, no wonder it's such a large file.

[m21man]

I believe that you're supposed to overwrite the old JAM file in the MH-60 pack with the new one in the t/t pack. I did that, and it worked fine. If if doesn't work, scrub all your addons directories down to just the official BIS addons, then put the t/t pack in the Res/Addons, then use mod folders for everything else.

Has anyone else noticed a lack of steering wheel on the BRDMs?? Oh and i love that underground bunker thingy, and the bridges at Lorengau Pass. This island is amazing its got everything, large airport, large urban cities, huge jungles, complex riverways, miles and miles of roads, tons houses and above all, lag free (for me at least). Over all I give it a 53 out of 20.... lol... Simply amazing... :thumbsup:

What "underground bunker thingy" are you talking about? I found some tunnels half submerged in a swamp in the southwestern jungles...
