This looks great. Excellent work.

(f**king pictures. I keep hittin' right mouse to try and get a zoomed view)

[colt]

Fantastic stuff SelectThis !

What in your opinion would be the definitive desert vehicle add-on pack to complement your work?

And the T-72, T-80, 5t Truck's and the M-113 Vulcan. All we need now is the M2A2, Shilka, BMP and so on...

Anyway's back to the Island. Realy nice job. I just love the roads and the way you radomly placed rock's 'n' s**t.
And that camo for the soldiers is the best I've seen so far. It's nice and dull (not way too bright) the way it should be.

I feel guilty now because I did'nt get you anything for Christmas.

looks like a completely new place

good work http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

[Satchel]

Looking awesome !
I hope it will be used frequently in MP, could help lag and action taking part, as its a smaller map.
The one thing that always kept me from using the original Desert map in MP was that there is absolutely no cover, without any Mapping Tool"l features to use.

[amos m]

What is Tool"l ?

whenever someone writes the word t.a.c.t.i.c.a.l (minus the periods), its translates it to "mapping tool"

[amos m]

What?

[Apocalypse87]

Even with the rest of the quote it didn't make much sense.

[Ruskiesrule]

a filter maby!?

[SelectThis]

There are some great Desert vehicles being done by people such as Metal, Pandoras Box and Marfy. I'm sure more will come out soon and we'll be able to put together a desert vehicle pack for all sides.

[/QUOTE]<span id='postcolor'>

I want a full set of re-textured vehicles like Kegytys Winter Vehicles or Ash's Artic Armor packs.  Alot of those desert addons arent from the same author, meaning their color tones dont always match....

Also, I still think the soldiers included with the island need a little texture work still. They need bigger brown patches and the green needs to be a lighter tint.

[/QUOTE]<span id='postcolor'>Me too. I've haven't had as much fun sniping ever before. This map is loads of fun sniping. Maps of this quality should be an official addon.

[SpaceAlex]

I love this Island and i love that desert M1A1. Very nice textures. U must download that desert M1A1 form
http://www.operationflashpoint.d2.cz/index.php?newlanguage=eng It looks great.

[Black Knight]

Gonna try it right now

Thx m8 http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

[madmike]

I downloaded and its wicked. ive been making some simple missions of taleban attacking my base with T55s which has Brit and US Forces inside it,

[MP]

I got that M1A1 and I nearly came in my pant's when I saw it. You gotta try his T-72 aswell located at http//:marfyart.hyperlinx.cz

I T  R O C K ' S  ! ! !

[Black Knight]

I like the island,Great job, but when i exit the editor to the main menu i could play in the background. lol. I can basically play the missions i'v created, in my menu. Is this right???

Also i didn't find the  "STTAbel_DesertAnim"  file, but i got a    " mission.sqm " file. I put that one in my missions folder.

What am i doing wrong?  http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

[Black Knight]

nevermind, i just found what i did wrong. The "mission.sqm" is the "STTAbel_DesertAnim" file.  Everything works perfect now. Thanx

[SelectThis]

Glad you got it working Black Knight.

Here's a pic of a East BMP I'm working on (not released yet).. may take some time to get a full pack together http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif

Good job,

Now that Desert Malden has been out for awhile, I'm looking for feedback from anyone who has used it.

Specifically, bug fixes, dislikes, likes, etc...

SelectThis

[Kegetys]

works great... but where are the desert Spetz Natz and the day blackop? http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

[RED]

great work !

RED

[Black Hawk Down]

This is, hands down the best island I've downloaded. (The others I have so far are Nature Kolgujev, Snow Everon, and the Training Island http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif )
Haven't got Kegety's Winter Islands yet, are they any good?

Also, please email me if you need a tester for your Desert vehicles Select This!! http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif
The BMP looks great. I've only had the island for a day, but I've already made a mission, based on the conflict in Kashmir.

Keep up the GREAT work, STT. http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif)))

[WKK Gimbal]

looks awesome!

Just remember to set viewdistance to something like 5000. There's no fog in the desert http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

[SelectThis]

Kegetys,

Got lazy and didnt want to bloat the download even more. I figure there are plenty of other addon makers who can reskin the speznatz and day ops. http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

BHD,

Definitely get Kegetys' Winter Kolgujev. It is stunning.

Restarted the BMP desert textures, wasnt very happy with my first attempt... will include the BMP2 and SHilka in a future pack.

SelectThis

[Black Hawk Down]

Thanks STT,

Have Winter Kolgujev now.... BRILLIANT!!
Thanks goes to Ash for making an Arctic Armour Pack as well....
Would someone compile some Desert Vehicles for a Desert Armour Pack for STT's Desert Malden?

[SelectThis]

Desert Armor (East) pack is ready and will be available form the Addon Depot shortly.

[Wobble]

with the relative sparseness of the new map the graphics are FAR less demanding on the system, OFP runs flawless on my system with a viewdistance of 6000M http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif

realistic tank battle anyone?
