ANIMALS - for the sake of realism....

[Tomb]

    Yeah, generally, animals are very underestimated


     They got potential for countless mission ideas!!!


( actually, I feel the animal awakening.... think it's beddytime in Cope! )   ;D

*Oh deeer!!!!   Honey! hold on, don't go away now, pray!*  :moon:

[Ferret Fangs]

Large dead animals like cattle, pigs, dogs, could be useful for added cover from fire, or food when the player is far behind enemy lines and unable to find a McDonalds or is faced with eating the only MRE available, Noodles in butter sauce. GAG!

[Tomb]

LOL  ;D ...and a lama for the mountains  ;D ( I didn't mean that )

For the lazy chaps (since this is page 2 in this thread), I will put a summary:

What we need is ANIMALS in OFP - and according to those who know,
it is possible (within certain limitations) to actually do it  

Thus: this thread is a prayer & a challenge to all 3D-modellers out there.
If you knowsabout O2 and the door_animation from 1.75, then you can create a
cow/horse/hen etc. with an animated head, tale or alike.

The list of wanted animals looks like this, so far :

1.  cow
2.  horse
3.  hen
4.  deer
5.  pig
6.  sleeping dog (for the RES doghouse)
7.  wolf
8.  whale
9.  gull-on-a-pole-object
10. crocodile
11. dolphin
12. shark
13. owl or crow (to setpos up in trees for cutscenes etc.)


Add your own ideas below, all

LMAO!!

This is great!  OFP and this forum never cease to amaze me!  

I know this has been a topic for awhile..  Nice to see that something is happening!  

Here's some to add to a list of possibilities...  

Duck-billed Platypus (or Platypi...   )       ;D
Spitting Camel!
Ass?  (donkey)    (they would have those on small farms like this eh?)  
Squirells named chuck..
Beaver!    (all kinds)  
Coyotes
Wild Boars
Skunk (you could make a script where he sprays you and everyone runs away from you!)   ;D

That's it.  

Keep up the good work!  What version of OFP does that dog require KevBaz?  

Asmo

P.S.   A Whale??   You gotta hear this..  

I saw this tv show where they found a huge beached whale in Oregon, USA...  They couldn't figure out how to remove the carcass...  

So what do they do?  This... person...  decided to use some TNT to blow up the whale and let the seagulls eat the leftovers..  Brilliant right?

Of course not!   The whale blew up and flew up to 2 miles from the blast zone... Huge chunks of burning blubber raining from the sky!    

It's amazing isn't it?  The whale was still mostly there afterwards and they had to bury it..  lol  

Darwinism at work...  

[KevBaz]

its basically a bog standard object so v 1.0

[@cero]

the coolest I've seen so far, kev.  

and @ asmo *ya frikkin nutty, man*  ;D
send my greets to kaliyuga, I love his billboards (though the readme was a killer)   ;D


right.... BLOOD, you say?!  

That would prolly take som'n like this :

#loop
~0.5
? GetDammage DogName >0.7: DeleteVeh. OldDogName
WoundedDog = BloodTexturedDogName Camcreate getpos [Old,DogNames,Pos]
goto "loop"


Som'n around the  :moon: of that I guess  :joystick:

thx kevvy m8  

Anyone else whom might stumble across animal-addons, post yer news in this thread  


CHEERS  :cheers:

[KevBaz]

If you read the readme you will see that i never made the dog, all i done was to get into ofp.

At the moment because the dog is an object if it got "killed" it would crumple and smoke so i thought best to put its armour really high.

What i would like to know is, is there a way of changing the impact sounds? so if you shoot it you would hear any sound you wanted?

[asmodeus]

its basically a bog standard object so v 1.0

Unfortunately... I tried it and that's not true as far as I can tell..  

According to your readme...  

Static Object

EMPTY>BAZ-Addons>GUARD DOG

I went there and couldn't go there!  Need V1.85 to have custom sections in the object list right?  No BAZ-Addons in mine..  (running V1.75 and can't run 1.85)  

Anyways, just wanted to let you know, that yes, it does appear that it requires 1.85.     Too bad, I'd like to check it out.   :-\

Asmo

P.S.  Tomb...  LOL!!   ;D   Yeah, I'll tell Kali waz up.    

[KevBaz]

Arse forgot about that hang on ill change that now

Well, well some evil gnolls and nice orcs should fit in into this discussion...
No no, just kidding...  ;D

I remember I heard about that Ofpinternals should make some new animations soon but, I have not heard anything since.

This should be good for animal walking and so on.
