You outdid yourself on this map. This map is spectacular, and it be dedicated to a man we call Oz ... could not be more fitting.

The 13th TAS salutes you !!!

OH !!! .. I presume Dux did the clipboard ... even that is spectacular ... <~~> Dux~~

Post by: Octavius on March 03, 2004, 03:14:53 PM: Excellent. I toured ozkansas last week when Fest hosted it a second time. This map is top notch... many new and innovative features (if they're accepted).

A *few* bases will be absolutely impossible to vulch... which kinda sucks, but is also kinda neat :D You'll see soon

Post by: Curval on March 03, 2004, 03:44:43 PM: Sweet. Well done Fester.

Any idea when it might go into rotation?
Title: Into the Rotation
Post by: Ouch on March 03, 2004, 04:21:08 PM: I predict it will go into the Rotation on Friday of this week.

How do I know this you ask? Because I'll be out of the country from Friday morning till next Sunday. Just long enough to completely miss it.

damn, damn, damn.

I like the VOR compas rows in the middle, nice touch:D
Title: Ozkansas Pacific Main Arena finished and submitted
Post by: SOB on March 04, 2004, 01:11:01 AM: Looks great and has a lot of little niceties. I really like the separate runway off from the main base at 128. I don't know if it's going to completely suck or be fun as heck, but the HQ placement is certainly going to be interesting! I look forward to giving it a whirl in the MA.

Since HT is the only one who is actually employed at HTC and we all paid him like $300,000 last year and he has no overhead and doesn't really do anything, I demand that he get this map in rotation immediately. :p

Post by: Ghosth on March 04, 2004, 07:46:09 AM: Festers attention to detail is AWESOME.

While they may have been moved from there historic locations for gameplay.

All of the main pacific islands are there.
Pearl Harbour, Midway, Iwo Jima, New Gunea, you name it. You MUST fly over 131 & see what he's done with PH.

Its great to see a great stick giving something back to the community. And dare I say Fester has turned into a nicer guy? I don't see the frustration coming over chan 1 like I used to. Good stuff Fester.

Ok, Pearl is there but I'm having trouble spotting the others. Can you give the coordinates?

Also, I think its New Guinea but I'm too lazy to go look it up myself.

That's BIGNUMBER,littlenumber format, right? Some of the coordinates seem to be either landlocked. Borneo looks like empty space of ocean. :confused:

yes big number little number grid references

Title: Ozkansas Pacific Main Arena finished and submitted
Post by: Citabria on March 05, 2004, 11:09:22 AM: because its not a 512 map

its a medium sized map

neither 512 nor 256

trust me this is a ver good thing to not use the whole 512 area.

you might not know this but even the 256 maps are 512 maps just the clipboard shows 256 instead of 512 area

just fyi...i was dumped to the desktop when i was on a final into A:128. that's never happened to me before in any other map. not sure if it's my computer or a small bug. :confused:

The airfield layouts are very creative, like at A:128. wtg!

the coast effects look GREAT:

First look seems to satisfy all, but no one will know that until the first bullets fly :).

Navigating the fleets is going to be fun.

Is it just me or does it look a little light on strat targets?

Just a suggestion, but you might consider putting some airfields right back in the corners for the bomber fans so they've got a good alt when they hit the main area.

i made the water light greenish blue to be a cross between shallow atoll water and deep blue sea but either way its an iconic representation of water.

in ah2 there will be multiple subsets of water so we can have shallow blue green dark blue med blue etc it will look awsome.

Post by: Citabria on March 19, 2004, 06:51:50 PM: I am really looking forward to seeing this map in the MA. so much effort has been put into making it, so much detail has been added to every island each one sculpted and textured making each one different and unique.

when your in australia you see sparse foliage and lots of dry brown terrain, iwo jima is a sulfurous rock. hawaii is green and tropical, tiny atoll islands surrounded by blue sea, carriers and fleets in stunning new camoflage provided by the cm team, tank towns on every front and a tank town chain in the center island with vehicle bases within driving distance of one another. so many historic islands. the map started off as generic island blobs but then midway was added as 4 plain texture tiles and the historic landmasses went on from there each one even better than the one before it. iwo jima apeared then rabaul then pearl harbor, guadalcanal, new guinea mindanao, luzon the philipines, tinian, siapan, marcus island borneo australia darwin etc etc. the map has the feeling of wide open seas and tropical islands yet provides short travel times similar to small maps.

the more the map evolved the more real islands made there way in replacing those undefined blobs of land.

underneath it all
before any terrain was even made any island added the map started as a pizza pie with 3 slices and 4 circles (1 for each zone) with a set number of bases per zone inside those slices
every base was laid out before the terrain being added to asure that travel times to the fights between every base would be neither too close nor too far. the islands were then roughly formed and the already present airfields and gv fields were adjusted further to give the look of natural placement on the islands while retaining close to thei ideal base spacing. the end result is variety. base spacing varies within set parameters presribed by HTC with their 10+ years of arena experience in what is likely to be excellent air combat fights with beuatiful terrain to fight over.

in short i just can not wait to see this map in play. everything about it seems to be just what i was hoping to acomplish when i set about making it. it actually has surpassed what it was origionally thought out to be because of the historical aspect that has evolved during its creation.

there is just so much to see and so much to battle over. bases will be taken as the fronts are wide open with no bottlenecks but this is good because the next base behind it has even more detail and its own historic touches and battle setups making it a new and unique fight.

god i can't wait. ive got to see this map in the ma and until i do im in purgatory wondering when it will be in the MA, dreadingthe thought that its been shelved and put in the main arenas to never be added pile. i can't stand the suspense

How bout it hitech just one word yes or no is that to much to ask? Unless of course you LIKE us spinning in the breeze here! wich I think is tottally wrong on soooo many levels:cool:

Post by: NUKE on March 20, 2004, 10:14:21 AM: HTC probably very busy and maybe haven't had the time to go through this map yet? Maps are a very serious business choice imo and we can't expect them to just throw a map in the mix on short notice. The MA is the bread and butter of HTC and maps are the yeast for the bread and the players are the... crust .... er.... something like that. :)

That being said, the map is BEAUTIFUL Fester and I would love to see it in the MA. You have put a lot of time and effort into this map and I really appreciate people like yourself that add so much to the game and community.

Post by: DREDIOCK on March 20, 2004, 04:36:54 PM: I agree HTC is probably very busy and MA maps are a serious buisness.
Perhaps HT might wanna takea little coffee break from what he is doing and check this one out.
This the one time I think it can be honestly said that the "Majority" of people who have seen this want to see it up.
Nor can I ever remember anything not maps,not even AH2 that was looked forward to with such poisitive anticipation.
Anything garnering this much support deserves to be looked into.
And this is comming from someone who was an original sceptic.

because HT dont have the time to test it... AH2 is out in two weeks remember :D

btw, i found that road convoys supply the islands...when maybe it should be boats/ships........

Just tell HT to put it into rotation. we will test it ,and fix it,ourselves

Post by: Overlag on March 21, 2004, 09:49:42 AM: its not really a bug that can spoil game play...its just odd... thats why it should be on MA though (or at least a 200 player test arena that im sure will fill up ;)) so we can public beta test it..

im sure 90% of these forums want to play this now, more than the current map, or any other map
