Ia Trang + tropical sound

[Aeon]

I always wanted to have Ia Trang with Jungle Everon's sound, and I can't wait anymore. So I will add sound myself, and guess what? it's easy  
It's seem there is no difference between forest/meadows surface so less sounds are playing  :-\ but that's doesn't matter sounds are cool even if fewer

This weekend I will collect and create new sound, if you got nice ones, please send me them (hurry! new Ia trang should be released this w-e or just after)

It's a minor improvement so I won't change name island or anything, two version should be compatible. I would have SelectThis opinion about that, and yours too guys

[DrStrangelove]

Correct me if i got that wrong but does that mean you want to do different versions of the Ia Trang island ?

In that case i urge you to work together with the team - i hate to DL several versions of the same addon.  

[T.S.C.Plage]

You should realy work together with ST to get a new version of Ia Trang.

Some changes should be:

- moving the functional airfield to the island south cause no plane can take of at the SF airfield (not even a bronco) if AI controlled

- include a longer "street" (not that VC path) and an area where also vehicles can operate "freely"

- fix some "waterholes" and make some parts of the river "deeper"

- create bigger LZs

- maybe include a bridge at a "sidearm" of a river

Also it shouldn't be to difficult to create some Nam bunker addons (like the "hell" in Platoon for example) and rebuilt the bases a lil'.

And maybe also a lil' "Riverine Forces" base is needed now (LSSC + Pibber)!?!

If you don't want download another version, keep the original first : different versions should be fully compatible (will check this with beta test)
but I suggest you to try it, GREAT IMMERSION  :thumbsup:

I think SelectThis is waitting for Visitor before to fix or improve his island. I just added few sounds -nothing else- I don't know WRPedit, I haven't the skills...  

Beta-test starting tomorrow, if everything is ok and if SelectThis does not prohibit release, Ia trang with tropical sounds should be available to download the next day.
I added 5 quality sounds :
- Landscape sound (Day)
- Landscape sound (Night)
- Hill sound (Day)
- Rain sound (Day/Night)
- River or sea sound (Day/Night)

Aeon,

While I appreciate the work you've done, not only to help promote the Nam era stuff but also with your helpful and supportive comments, I would prefer if you didn't release an edited version of Ia Trang to the public (private release is fine). The reason is that I don't want different versions floating around with the same classnames etc.

What I would like to do though, is once some new tools become available which will let me fix the Island, that we work together to use your new sounds.

well...
we waited a very long time for Oxygen, like for WRPedit. Should we wait again for Visitor or another unofficial tools ? We should, but I've got a bad feeling, OFP is less popular...support could be forgotten like the game so I doubt...That's why I said "I can't wait anymore"
But your are the boss, it is your island, so I respect your wish

 Ia Trang with sounds available on request only for SelectThis,Ebud,Bibmi

Like Aeon mentioned it's a time problem!

I for example need a working airfield for some of my missions and also that mentioned "river depth fix" cause you can't create a good river mission if other AI controlled boats can't follow you "across" the river crossing points.

Also a bigger LZ wouldn't be to bad cause the biggest one can only take 5 chopper at one "wave" as max.

In case this are all failures in the OFP engine (why can I take off, why can I cross the crossings if I want I can park 20 choppers in a LZ...) but I think you should take care about it.

I'm trying to work a lil' with WRPedit and also a friend of mine has started to create addons (just beginning). He wants to work more on the lil' (static) stuff like boxes, walls, bunks etc. maybe we can help a lil'...if wanted!?!

I assume your talking about X-ray when you say 5 choppers.....i think thats pretty much how big it is/was....

In the war they did not land all the choppers at the same time.  One or two at a time then secure the LZ and continue the insertion.  Unless the area is secure you would not want all the choppers in one place on the ground.

INdeed....one mortar round and its a chain reaction baby yea!

Could someone please post a link to a download of the La Trang island? I have been unable to locate it despite some searching..

*hopes it's not hosted on OFPEC, cos if it is, I must be legally blind*

*gets "smellofnapalm.ogg", "rideofthevalkyries.ogg", "purplehaze.ogg" and "jimihendrixstarspangled.ogg" ready*

One other.. That was a PBR Mk I in Apocalypse Now, yes? What's the difference exactly (and has anyone made a mod?)

EDIT: Oh, and how about a surfboard mod... *chuckles*

[Frosty]

Hey CareyBear, where do I find those music samples you mentioned?

[CareyBear]

erm... you rip 'em to .wav from your CD / VCR then convert them to .ogg with a conversion tool (see Sound forum). That's where I got them.

I'm not going to distribute them though - not because I'm an assh*le, but because I don't distribute copyrighted music. I do believe converting for personal use is fine though - if you own the CD. Just a personal ethics thing. I'm also over my bandwidth limit, so I couldn't even if I wanted to.. *coughs*

It's not hard to do yourself if you have it on CD, or a decent sound card with a line in. If you don't wanna buy it, just rent the movie...

Oh, and if you have a DVD drive there are progs which will let you rip an entire dvd soundtrack to a .wav file (assuming you have a prog that will process a 450MB .wav)

I doubt you'll have much trouble finding any of those particular sounds on the net as .wav or .mp3

[Ex-RoNiN]

So is the reworked Ia Trang going to feature Jungle Everon sounds?

Please say yes, that would kick ass  

They are needed, otherwise the nam feeling doesn't really come up

[Bomberman]

i just made some great ambient sounds for la-trang/vietnam maps. if you want to hear, give me your email adress.
