CAT Afghanistan

CAT Afghanistan upgraded by AGS ported to ArmA 1 by PMC.

This is Afghanistan terrain and objects addon from Operation Flashpoint ported into Armed Assault. Its a advanced port, several modeling errors were fixed, textures merged and models optimized as well as config tweaked. No content have been added (except terrain has no ocean now, ie this is a terrain, not an island) or removed. There are no soldiers or vehicles in this addon.

Background

Initially this addon was released to OFP by CAT_SHIT_ONE (gotta love his name), there was couple of versions released which caused havoc in mission making community as whole cities were removed from the island.

Then Agent Smith (AGS) released new version of this island CAT's Afghanistan Revisited.

I was talking to AGS in 2007 and asked if I get permissions to port CAT/his Afghanistan addon, he said yes no problem. First work was done long time ago but now this last push was done in couple of days time to get this ready for release. Why to release? eh dunno, wanted some more porting training, O2 time and learn more things which I can put into PMC Editing Wiki (which I did BTW) heh :)

See some screenshots here: image1, image2, image3, image4.

Credits

You can find the AGS credits list in docs/credits.txt file. Besides that PMC credits Agent Smith for doing the last OFP work on this addon and now granting us permission to port it into ArmA. Also all the community users who have been posting constructive feedback, YOU guys made this new version possible, thank you very much.
