A spaced out idea...with a few questions.

[NAA_Anton]

I have a quick question.

I was looking at a picture at an OFP site, and suddenly a thought popped into my head. The terrain (hills) almost looked like Mars.

Then I began wondering...Would Mars work with OFP? I think it would make an awesome CTF map if the Americans and the Reds took the Cold War to space.

So, on to my questions:

1. What are the odds of a map that looks like Mars? I'm sure it wouldn't be that hard. All you'd need was a rusty colour of red, and a whole bunch of large, to mid size craters. Is it possible?

2. Can you screw around with the gravity in the game? IE: We all know how some vehicles fly off a hill when going at high speeds...Could we either make them lighter, to give the effect of a lighter gravity, or maybe actually change the level of gravity on the island?

3. Is there a way to make the sky constantly black with no clouds?

Anyway, it's 1:44am, and these are just the type of odd thoughts that pop into my head at these times.

Heh...I'm just imagining moon rovers instead of jeeps, and those old 60's style spaceships instead of helicopters...I think it would be really cool.

You can make new maps with wrpedit there's a forum further down the board that will help you get started. I don't think you can change the gravity at all but I think you can set the mass of objects but I doubt that would help you, and as far as I know you can't change the sky colour. btw Sci-Fi discussions are classed as off topic on these forums but here's a forum who may be able to help you.

i know very little about this subject so dont take this as gospel:

as regards gravity, there is one user downloaded island named  Jarmangrad, i think its the beta version im referring to. Anyway, when driving vehicles (jeep, car) on that particular island, it seemed that whatever determines the gravity wasnt set up quite right as you would jump (float almost) over some of the hills.

Dont know if that helps or not.
