[Map] Island Chain (4km) [WIP]

[Madhouse]

nice choice on A, later on you could always make a second version of the map with differne assets an stuff for "day 2" of the battle or whatever (I really wish mappers would do that lol)

all you really need is for someone to model some better boats

We don't make a second 'copy' of a map with slight changes because that would take up so much more space in the map installer download.

You can either have two nearly identical maps OR two different maps.

I think that A is really good. B not so much.

Go with A.

[Albatross]

Hate to go with the general consensus but ........ A , is more tropical and reflects the humidity and stormy afternoons one might find on the Island.

And sets this map apart from the rest of the maps that have been developed to date.


Nice work.

Chuc;754243']This is how the South East Asian insurgents looks like -



And the Tentara Nasional Indonesia - Angkutan Darat, or the Indonesian army


Its likely I'll go back and improve these skins when I have the time.

Keep up the splendid work Anxiety, hopefully you'll consider these choices for your opfor.

i think that if the militia is south-east asian they would have different equipment than the regular militia. might want to take that into consideration

I was actually thing of community matches and stuff where he could use the second version for that instead mate, I should have made that clear in my post.

A Storm over FarCry clone

Who cares, it looks good.

[GreedoNeverShot]

If a storm is inbound, will you incorporate the high winds in the environment?
(Wind sounds, rustling, cracked trees, lightning, puddles, flooding, [maybe rain if possible Possible ? Here], extra muddied roads and banks, collapsed houses, floating debris, etc.?

UPDATEE =D





The bottom islands aren't finished yet but ehh thuaght you guys would like an update on the minimap . . so viola . .

any ideas for the islands just shoot , love imput..

[Madhouse]

Looks good. Keep up the good work!

[Chuc]

I advise not putting a temple there as it seems like that particular island chain seems far too small in terms of population to warrant anything larger than a small shrine (and if it were, it would be on the largest island).

[Tirak]

Just a thought, but considering the number of squads a map can have, perhaps you should include more boats. Sure, you've got enough for 30 people, but not everyone's going to be in the same squad.

well...som1's gonna have to play ferryman

take em half way and demand more money!

Doesn't the boat only have 6 spots though? Unless you add another one you can't play ferryman because you wouldn't be able to transport whole squads. Now if someone wants to start modeling new boats, that'd be awesome, this map is a perfect candidate to test M. Warrens light boats idea, though to make and code the boats would take a while.

[Rudd]

well, LBs carry 6, hummers carry 5 gotta think ahead sometimes

but yea, I support the notion of more boats completely, infantry had love first, armour then had love, then aircraft had love...the boats need love!

[Anxiety]

littlebirds are nice and all . . but the ADF don't use them . . and i don't want to be putting helicopters on this map becuase then it won't be an infantry/water travel map . . they will use the helicopters everywhere. .

= )

[Rudd]

oh yes, don't put helicopters on the map, the boat thing is what makes it special I was just pointing out that the boats aren't the only vehicle in PR suffering from seat limits

[Anxiety]

Ahh I see XD

So overall what do you guys think of the map ?

Likes and dislkes?

(i'd prefer more dislikes tbh =P )

THanks for the advice so far

[Albatross]

This thread has come a long way....

I am not picking at this map too much to be honest i am only posting the dislike because you asked for constructive dislikes.

Can anything be done with the one shaded green with the palm tree leaves?

[Anxiety]

Thanks Albatross, I'm a bit confused - by one shaded green palm tree leaves do you mean , how all the palm trees in the original pictures were all the same colour ?

if so i have fixed this already by changing the forest to more of a " palm tree here and there" lots of bamboo " and a weeping tree here and there, so you will notice the one shaded green MUCH less.

if you don't mean that- please explain

Thanks - Will post up screenies soon - The first beta is almost finished

Anx.
