I have to agree, the islands probably should be put at least beyond the maximum visual range ArmA is capable of.

Oh&#33; And the more I think about it, Everon should be to the West and South of Kolgujev (when you take off in the A10 mission in the campaign you turn a northeasterly heading).  Malden should probably be southeast of both the other islands.

Even though this isn&#39;t real terrain, it would be nice to have it fit in with the story from Flashpoint.

EDIT:  I played around with where the islands were on the map and came up with a more aesthetically pleasing way to describe the positions I was talking about (though I don&#39;t know if I&#39;m right or not; BIS probably had some map sketched out when they were designing the missions for OFP...):

Malden is invaded from the South suggesting that Everon or Kolgujev is to the south of it. When the soviets leave Everon they retreat south suggesting that Kolgujev is to the south of Everon.

Technically if you follow all the campaign missions none of it makes sense because every island is attacked from the soviets from the South but when NATO attacks Kolgujev that too is from the South. Hence they should all be south of eachother... which isn&#39;t possible.

I have no problems running it on my very low end computer.



BUZZARD @<hidden> June 04 2007,21:36)]I hope that with ArmA you&#39;ve come around that texture restriction that&#39;s plagued the original AEC Island?
No, these islands use now just one ground texture. Its up to the future how the tools, file formats, CWR and so on plays out if I release really correctly textured AEC.



Nevertheless it could be implemented but step after step.
You&#39;re missing the point, this is conversion of the AEC islands, not to just collect all released islands into one uhm terrain.



4 Mb??
Yes, this addon only incldes the WRP file and one small rvmat "text" file, so the size is very small.



nice, but I&#39;ve found some bugs.
You think that LSD colored blackhawk is caused by PMC AEC addon?



alien plant, over-heighten harbour
Where can I find this alien plant and harbour?



Everon shouldn&#39;t be where Malden is?
The invasion of Malden begins from the west, and Guba&#39;s army invade first Everon so it&#39;s a little bit impractical invade from the other side.
I guess, there is an official map?
No, this is basic conversion of the AEC released to OFP, it has nothing to do with the CWC 1985 campaign. The official map can be found on our homepage in the OFP section.



Is there any more space on the map to add more water between the islands? I haven&#39;t played it but from the shots they look a bit close?
The original AEC was created to 25km map, now we could very easily drop in the islands more spaced out into 51km one.

I&#39;m not sure if there are any missions to be converted for this island, I havent seen one so far... so if more people agree/request to space out the islands I could put them into 51km map on the next update.

So if you guys think we need more water/distance between the islands, let me know?



any taken any nice screens on how they look close up?
Some vegetation objects and forests are missing, as well as it uses only one green vegeation ground texture, otherwise they look like the original islands. Nothing has been changed to make them look different.



Why not call them by their real names?
Umm because the abel, eden, cain was kind of personalized name for the island/release which "only" the hardcore OFP folks know (who take a look at worlds/ dir etc).



I played around with where the islands were on the map and came up with a more aesthetically pleasing way to describe the positions I was talking about
Thanks for that image and suggestion, I have saved it and definitely keep it as reference if there are requests to change the layout of the islands.

Thanks goes to everyone with constructive feedback, much appreciated, I&#39;m glad this release has given joy for you guys http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/smile_o.gif

I still think the original OFP islands had more character than Sahrani, it was just something about the way things looked, you could see the story in the terrain (Kolgujev&#39;s destroyed buildings, Everon&#39;s lush green and Malden&#39;s sandy grassland all gave them unique characters).

Everon is the Easternmost?  OK, that makes my map useless for accuracy&#39;s sake.  After I made it I just thought that BIS put the islands in like a hawaii-like chain, with Kolgujev in the east, Malden in the West and Everon stuck in the middle.

I seem to remember the attack point that NATO chose to retake Everon from was the airport in the North.  So would that put Malden northwest of Everon?  But they left Everon initially from the south?&#33;  So that moves Malden just West of Everon.  And then (since Everon is easternmost) Kolgujev is either Northwest or southwest of that?  All this conflicting data just makes all the placements seem incorrect... Maybe the islands are on very fast tectonic plates and change positions regularly  http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/tounge2.gif

will you be adding all original forests if you update, like the one near the airport on everon and in the valley by the castle?
I&#39;m not sure about the forest objects, still havent searched any info about them heh. But I&#39;m not sure if its good idea to add the OFP data3d&#92; p3d object into the island release pbo, I guess its small and everything, but I&#39;d like this conversion to be "ArmA" first of all.


But i think it would be better to do one island after another and then put them toghetter.
It just takes longer time to do it, besides Sgt.Ace is already doing Everon and OFMan is working on Kolgujev.

You dont understand how this works, its conversion... straight out conversion. So wheter I do one or fiftyseven islands, it takes exactly the same amout of time (if put on all together in one wrp). What I do in the conversion applies to all islands at the same time.

Yes seems like many people request this, so even if this is straight out conversion, I guess we can adjust the island size to ArmA standards of viewdistance and all. Its little bit funny as you can see Kolgujev coastline from Malde airbase heh.

So yeah next version should be on 51km island. However I would like to get some feedback on how far apart the islands should be in the larger area?

[ColonelSandersLite]

Out of curiosity, how come you and sgt ace aren&#39;t collaborating. Seems that 2 people can conver more ground together than 2 they can seperate. Even if it was something as simple as say just giving him everon on your AEC chain to work with while you work on the others or some such thing.

By 51km island you mean 51km x 51km, which means 2601km/2, yes?

All the islands more or less fit within a 5000 x 5000 trigger, and using the distance command, the distance between the main islands seem to be around 6km.
If we get 6km distance on a 21 x 21 map, then we&#39;d get 14,4 by keeping the relative distances on a 51 x 51 map (unless I&#39;m publicly displaying my demented math skills http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/tounge2.gif).

I got pr&#39;d/wl&#39;d for asking that question, although I did kinda point out how that asking that question supposes the naive assumption that cooperation is possible contrary to historical fact. http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/wink_o.gif

yeah this would be sweet with multiple airports, maybe something close to evolution or cti or other large coop missions can be made that supports more than 1 base. http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/smile_o.gif

The biggest problem is the floating objects, these object types need to be manually aligned to the ground which is horrible trial and error work one object type at a time. I&#39;m hoping that we get the new ODOL format read so we can find out the correct alignment automatically. We can already do this on OFP MLODs so all existing island objects work ok with proper alignment.

Then there is the widening the range issue, many people requested that the islands should be more apart, this is very easy to do and is on the TODO list for next release.

Multiple airports is now possible, and I again keep this on the TODO list, hopefully it will be done by the next release.

And when is the next release? Ehh no idea, not anytime soon at least http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/smile_o.gif

The BIGGER maps, the BIGGER the fun....

Kidding...

But seriously, bigger maps (not islands, i mean MAP)
gives a fairplay with Planes and Boats..
I mean, when tools are out, there will be fast jets, cargo/
tranport planes (ANTONOV), fast attackships, hangarships,
cargo/transportships. I mean whats the fun in playing
with a ittybitty maps with a ANTONOV packed with stuff. Just
GO up, move 10sec, drop and get down for a refill.
BOOOOORING....

The bigger the better http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/pistols.gif

Has anyone heard what are happening with this one??
I would love to use this and make some missions on it, but if there is no update, I won&#39;t use it.

Since you had problems with most of the buildings (moving in and out of them) the addon is useless. But I love the idea.
