Consider these two pics. This is not to be taken the wrong way. I do not want a "let's fly into the scyscrapers" mission. That is utterly disgusting.

My point with these pics is that this can be modelled quite easily, and would not tax the CPU, because a huge building could be as low as 5 poly's.
They would of course not be playable, but there could be street battles and heli chases around the buildings.
It could be quite fantastic.

It really looks cool, but when seeing the twin towers
I can't help feeling a little depressed knowing they are
not there anymore.

Hi Konyak
I dont know if you know but I am working on a mod called Crimecity
http://users.pandora.be/crimecity/
And the mod is about cops and terrorists in NY.
( A sick idea at the moment, I am fully aware of it http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif
But you got the look right, that is what we are aiming for ( forget about attackhelis in the City, just plain and simple helis)

cheers

Don't post that sort of pictures, that are the kind of pictures that are very popular in the Fundamentalistic Arab countries!

That could have gone horribly wrong with the current affairs as they stand Konyak - you're lucky you didn't start a war.

Did BAROBA get deleted because of the subject of his MOD? If so I think that is a bit hash since he wasn't to know what was going to happen when he designed the modification.

Take a look at the second picture and ask yourself what in the name of all things holy is that Chinook doing?

The pictures actually bring back memories of the Matrix - don't know why.

Good pictures Konyak.....but why is the CH47 scouring a Skyscraper, if it's diving he's never going to recover!

Maybe he spilled his drink and fell asleep. Flying transports *CAN* be boring. Or at least in the missions in the game...

beautiful pics mate, just a pity about the subject matter. having said that, it would be very mice to see a big city in flashpoint, even as a modded island, where you could fly between buildings, like sega mega cd classic thunderhawk 2 (i think?)

konyak,

is it possible that you could realese this as an addon? i think it would be awesome if you could! great work!

Addon? Those are just modified pics.
bugkill
Nov 10 2001, 11:44
yeah, i know! but i think it should be considered a possible idea to create large cities that could be added to the islands. i don't know what it would take, but i think that there are some people out there who have the talent to create cities for this game, it would be fabulous!

I know, it would rock. Making buildings like that would be extremely easy. If they are made unenterable, then they'd only have to be 5 polygons. To make them a little better looking they'd need a few more, but unless you're making the spire ones like Empire State, 20 polys will go a long way. And texturing would be simple too.

Given the SDK, those pics could become a reality in an afternoon.

Release it Konyack.

now.

*put's his finger on Jamesias' gun and gently directs it towards CM or BIS* http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

I'm not one to put excessive pressure on these hard working guys, but we'll be needing the model import tools from BIS for this to be a reality, ok? http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

And OperationFPoint, no, these are not taken from Flight Simulator. The sky and cockpit are OFP, but the buildings are photographs.

And to the one who was wondering what the Chinook was trying to do: Nothing, that is just the way they accelerate in OFP, pretty wild:) It's from the same screenshot as the cockpit.

Problem with big low polygon things. Their fill rate. As much as it is a low polygon, the fill rate of the entire thing would take ages, then add all the buildings and stuff, it would chug things out. Good example is a city area in flightsim.

I cant understand why you chose Manhattan. Why not an other city?
Nov 13 2001, 13:00
@<hidden> Lansen

The same reason why CRIMECITY-MOD is in Manhattan too.
It is the best known city ( and skyline) in the world.
It is the city of cities.
All over the world it is thé most known skyline, and an obvious choice as a background in a mod
