I agree with Bronski. ***More info can be found on making mod folders at Avon Lady's OFP FAQ site. ***

But back to this addon.... I just tested it out and was severely disappointed. ***Ok they took that one big city in the South but then replaced it with another big city in another location surrounded by a wall. ***It's not quite as big as the old one but still fairly hefty. ***In addition, once again the terrain and locations of other cities seem to have been entirely shifted. ***
Also STILL no airport. *** *** Also disappointing is that in the old version in the NE quadrant (in the flat areas) there was the beginnings of something called Camp X-Ray. *** Now that is gone and there is no trace of any such base anywhere on the map. ***So aside from some newly laid out towns and a few new buildings (and maybe a some new textures) I think it is better to stay with the old version with the large Southern city that I was growing quite attached to actually. ***
I hope that CAT returns to that old map, finishes up Camp X-Ray, and also adds an airbase. *** If he did that then I would be more then satisified with this map because other then those things, these Afghanistan maps are beautiful with great buildings, caves, and ground textures. *** In this version I also like the walls, and the building with the picture of cat in it. ***

Very nice island

[The Frenchman]

Well of course this island is different. He changed the name. It&#39;s called Central Afganistan not southern like the last one.
What makes this one better are

1) Roads
2) new kinds of destroyed buildings
3)Big arse mountains&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33; I problably crashed a plane into one of these 4 times out of 7

You don&#39;t understand. ***There are some of us who have been working very hard making some kick ass Afghanistan missions. ***This map *REPLACES* the old one and because it totally changes the positions of cities and the terrain, it makes ALL our hardwork USELESS because most people will have updated to the new version of this map. ***If this map was just a new map showing another section of Afghanistan then it would not be a big deal, but since it replaces the older Afghanistan map it is a very big deal. ***Other map makers almost never do this kind of switching around of cities and terrain in different map versions because of how badly it pisses off mission makers. Just imagine how pissed off missions makers must be who have already released their Afghan missions (based on the older version to all the OFP sites).

All my movie intros for example that I was working which use map coordinates to position the camera are now useless on this new map. ***It took me MANY MANY hours of work scripting those movies so I am VERY VERY VERY pissed off because I did that for nothing. ***The mission itself can fortunately be salvaged by moving units and waypoints around and redoing other parts. ***But I&#39;m not going to bother doing any of that or redoing the movie intros until a final version of this Afghanistan map is released. ***Until then I think I&#39;m going to go finish up the French and Japanese missions I was working on.

cat ur a very good map maker
i just prefer ur old afghan island
since u change the map drastically why dont u just release this updated map to just another map since it keeps on changing from southern to central
why dont u just have two maps
so the old map doesnt have to be updated so u get two maps instead of one since also its a 44mg map
its like dl ur old maps was for nothing
and the island is totally different so y not naming the pbo differently so we can have the old 1 and the new one
therefore technically u made two maps because they dont look like each other and have different names

[Poet]

Any word on how close this is to the final?

Its a really great map, but as I found a couple of versions ago, theres little point making missions for this map until the map maker decides what he&#39;s doing with it.

Shame about Naguals missions, they were fantastic ...

yeah i loved that southern city, i made some awesome missions in there involving technicals and such. But i realize that there were lag problems with it for some ppl. Like Miles said, i would also like to see that Camp built up, in the previous version there were a few towers, a building and a wall or 2. Maybe you could make the airport there as it was a nice and flat area

Very nice island, great textures and new buildings...my only complaint is that the citites aren&#39;t named, so to find cities/towns, you&#39;ve got to zoom in your map in the editor and manually scan around for groups of buildings...
