:D what we need is animals - a few cows, a dog & a horse, a hen or two!!
Serious - imagine driving across the countryside, passing by a pack of cows (BIS already made the sound for it, remember?!)
Prolly something of a 3D modelling challenge, but should be possible, right?! ??? :)
I really mean this - it could be great - also re. cutscenes of all kinds!!!
Think about it, all. :-*
-
Yeah, a horse would be cool, you could re-enact beersheba or summat....
i don't know how you could possibly make it work though....
-
Ive seen seagulls on a multiplayer map! it was cool, I cant for the life of me remember what it was called.
(recon)
-
A useless cow-static-object would even do for me... ::) I just need
some animals to fresh up the background environment in my missions!
-
Only static animal could be made. Or maybe with their heads going up\down. This could be done. But nothing else
-
Try and be more specific, Stalker, please :D :) I'm keen, man!!!!
A fw static cows on my ranch with animated heads, grassing, would do!!! 8)
post some details - if it's really poss. to do these things,
this thread will end up on the 3d modelling / construction board :-*
I can't do O2-stuff for sh*t myself, only textures, but I'll find someone to do it!!!
( bribe, if nessesary!!! ) 8) ;D
-
Oh, another post about the same thing all over again, I love it ;D
This one must be the forth one, but I completly agree with you guys, I made a post call "Dead animals and destroyed vehicles" and I was asking for that, dead animals and destroyed vehicles... :P ;D
I would love to see a statik dead animal like cows and horses with blood textures, ideal to give you a good impresion of war destruction, specially on Vietnam missions, this dead animals thing is not way of a kind of fettish by the way ;D.
Later all.
@CERO
-
Couldn't you just make a script and get the things movin around a bit?
-
Be more specific...hmm... OK. Animals can't be made because of OFP engine limitations and anims. But we can't make new anims can't we ? Definatly yes but we can't rework OFP engine. :oBUT :o we can make simple animated head (animated like kkb_gate :)) and make their head going up and down with a script.
-
@cero :
I didn't know of similar threads, but it just boost the need for
this great (imagined) addon :o :D and whomever ends up making it would probably not find it overwhelmingly hard to make some dead cattle as well as "living" static creatures.
And @ Stalker - I get the pic now, the "KKB gatearm", that's a nice solution,
at least till ( or IF ) it will later on be poss. to make it any better :)
So... it is possible to create a static model. Guess we just have to
wait for some modeller god to drop by, grab this idea and do the stuff :-*
Can hardly wait for that to happen 8)
-
I would like to see deer on OFP so i can make a deer hunting map. Or you can make a Walking Stick (you know, the bug?) 8)
-
A deer would rock too :thumbsup: guess it's time for another LIST :o ;D
1. cow
2. horse
3. hen
4. deer
5. pig, perhaps a wild boar?!
6. sleeping dog (for the RES doghouse) 8) ;D
7. wolf, maybe
8. whale/dolphin/shark (could be made a bit like the submarine addon)
9. gull-on-a-pole-object, for harbor-cutscenes!
Add yer own ideas to the list :-*
-
I think animals could be made easily if they were limited to very basic movements. The new animation ability is still in its infancy and its gonna be hard to do any complex animations without motion capture gear. But deer and cows could be made that stood out in the open fields. The deer could pick their heads up and look around whenever anyone came near, and the cows could graze and swish thier tails or something. Pigs and chickens would be lovely for the Vietnam mission makers. How about parrots or monkeys? Place them in the trees of Ia Drang and jungle Everon. Crocodiles on the river banks. Elephants on the Ho Chi Minh trail. It'd be nice to see something completely and radically new in the game wouldn't it?
-
That's it :wow: CROCS!!!!!
Man, you've got a bright brain today, lazzy!!!! :D :-* ;D
It's true that, vc villages with hens 'n' pigs! and crocs in the waters 8)
wow, for a mission (yanno, the background environments are always
underestimated in most missions out there) .
(are there crocs in nam?)
-
A guard dog would be a VERY good addon. It would be pretty cool sneaking into an enemy camp, and then a guard dog gives away your position and starts nawin on you. ;D
-
Yeah, generally, animals are very underestimated :D
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:
-
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!
-
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 8)
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 :-*
-
I decided to give this post a new push of life to inform people interested in this thread a new little addon I found in OFPOrg
http://opflashpoint.org/addons.php?v=443 (http://opflashpoint.org/addons.php?v=443) Have a loock to this static dog ready to download, isn't that the beaguining of something?
Later all.
@CERO
-
im now adding a script to the dog, so when u get close it growls, i have the script and sounds just need to figure out how to add it to the addon..... btw i posted this in the 3d models thread lastnight
-
ok the dog has a bit of interaction now, it has a personality, try walking up to the critter ;)
http://www.kevbaz.com/BAZ_GUARGDOG.zip
-
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... ::)) :o ;D
Spitting Camel!
Ass? (donkey) :P (they would have those on small farms like this eh?) ;)
Squirells named chuck..
Beaver! :o (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. :P
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! :o
It's amazing isn't it? The whale was still mostly there afterwards and they had to bury it.. lol
Darwinism at work... :P
-
its basically a bog standard object so v 1.0 ;)
-
wow, I just tryed, and I thought it was going to bit my rear :o ;Dlol, is it posible to put blood textures in that dog?
Seeing that you have skill for the static animal addon... did you atencion ever been call by that post of mine about dead animals from ages ago? ;D cos I still would like to see them dead cows and horses beeing done by someone, are you beasy? ;D don't you fancy.... ok ok, I'll set up now, I'm getting excited now :o :o :o :o
Later all.
@CERO
-
the coolest I've seen so far, kev. :-* 8)
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?! :D
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:
-
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?
-
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. :P
-
Arse forgot about that hang on ill change that now
ok try this version for "normal" ofp
http://www.kevbaz.com/Baz_Guarddogofp.zip
-
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.
-
...Ofpinternals should make some new animations
...This should be good for animal walking and so on.
--------------------------------------------
anyone know anything new 'bout this? ??? :)
-
yep, there was some news about that Fliper the man himself had worked out, or invented some new program (like the ones we all know and love) that means he can make new anims - to a certain extent....
he did mention that it maybe be used to allow 4 legged animals and also smoking and other things...
as for animals i want:
*Beavers (lol Tomb, all kinds hey ;) )
*A Giant Killer Fransk Hotdog ;D
*A Tomb Monster
serious now
*Guard Dogs are a must
*Jungle animals
*Cows etc
as for seaguls Tomb, i have a script that creates a flock of seaguls - great for cutscenes - remember the start of the 1985 campaign - theres a seagul there which flies off when the choppers come.
-
A Flock of Seagulls? Have you got the hairstyles right or am I thinking of the wrong flock of seagulls? ;)
I think animals would add a bit of atmosphere, we could even have tigers for Nam missions for when you go out looking for mangos like in Apocalypse now :D
-
:D LOL, a Tomb monster!!! ;D
It's kinda bugging to know that O2 has been out in 4-6 months, and still we haven't
seen any wildlife addons (except from kev's guarddog which is a good start).
Move those asses out there!!!! >:( 8)
I don't care if its just a dummy object w/ an animated head and a sound
activated via some distance trigger or alike
- as long as we get to see some animals soon!!! :o
--------------------
So now the list of wanted animals looks like this :
1. cow
2. horse
3. hen (the normal, white thing with a red.... uuuumm... ??? head)
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.)
14. Jungle animals (no, not just a croc - howsabout a vietnamese hen?) 8)
:o ...or a cock, so we can make those animal-fights-gambling-cutscenes.
lmao, a "cock-strokefist" ;D
-
welcome to the lair of the tombmonster - home of cock-strokefists and the vietmese killer chicken ;D
-
::)
-
welcome to the lair of the tombmonster - home of cock-strokefists and the vietmese killer chicken ;D
LMAO ;D
Maybe I just missed it but nobody mentioned a parrot did they? How can you have smuggling and piracy on the high seas without a parrot ;)
or what about the elusive jackalope ? ::)
snipes are also a must ;)
buzzards to circle dead bodies :)
Hookah smoking caterpillars sitting on mushrooms ;) ;D
and the doormouse ;)
will all the animals have roadkill versions too? ;D
Those seagulls are pretty cool indeed ... I still have that script laying around here somewhere.... plan on using it at some time in the future ;) Kinda sucks you can't shoot em out of the sky.. but hey.. what are you gonna do? :P
And I really wanted to get my Duck Hunt Mod started too
Kali .. out
-
ROFLMAO
i say we also need Llamas ;) ;D
great 4 using wid da EC also i real wanna tombmonster
LCD OUT
-
:noo:
....but I like the idea about road-kills 8)
( *insert satan-smiley here / or go & kill noon416* ) >:( ;D
Right... *cough*, where were we now? aah yes, addons! :D ( ::) )
:o Howsabout if some modeller read all of this; would he be able to make
just ONE of those wishes up there come true ??? or is it a pointless task as
long as we don't have the proper 'custom-anims-freedom' ? ( :P )
I'd like to persuade a few lads to start working on some of those animals!
-
Hmm.. how'd you like to run into this mean mother in the forests Malden ?
http://www.homepet.com/3d/bear-realm.html
or put that new hunting rifle to use picking this bad boy off the cliffs of Nogova
http://www.homepet.com/3d/ram-realm.html
or run into a herd of these guys standing around early in the morning:

Just some things I came across.. they're 3DS format and fully textured.. royalty free... but you have to pay $30 for a membership to the site ::)
Just thought I'd share since they are some cool pics.
BTW those are about the only things worth downloading off of that site IMO
-
PHAT!!
That's awesome! :o
We should pool our money together if someone doesn't have the entire $30 to put up for it...

Hmmm,
I don't know but once someone has created thos animations,
there should be fast some Dogs, Cows, Horses that pop up...
I mean the basic animation should be the same, should they not?
-Fishion
-
I would definately have dogs and other animals in my missions. I'm the type of mission maker who adds loads of non mission units just to give an island life. I typically ad civilians and patrolling units around a whole island just for players who like to wander off.

lol! Sgt. Winters I allow you to keep your name as long as you don't disgrace the real hero Richard(Dick) Winters!

I wanna go huntin'. once i find a way to import ms3d models into o2 and then into OFP, im going mae a model of myself in hunting gear, a model of a deer stand that you can get into, a food plot, an assortment of rifles... and im gonna start making missions!
-
gotta report major prob in animatin da dog :'(
da dog model is all builded from 1 compotent :-\ - so dere is prob opening it wid OFP-Anim :-\ im gonne ask bout it in da thread maybe som1 dat understands in modeling can help me :-\
LCD OUT
-
Well I lack knowledge in making things like this happen.
Birds could really bring a marvelous atmosphere to the game, Isnt it possible to make the bird, as if it was an actual unit, then when your in the editor, then define its way points and cycle it, just the way you can any other unit? dunno maybe its impossible and I just dont have a clue
The only think that doesnt sound right is your men shouting BIRDY! at D3D4 and stuff like that.
-
like i said, there is a script that creates seaguls - as seaguls are already in the game.
its just camcreate, but instead of camera, use seagul
-
yeah! ...the thing that BREMMER WHERE ARE YOU, DAMMIT?!!! ( ;D ) was supposed to improve (or am I getting senile these days? I have a small echo inside ma humble brains, telling me that the orig. author (now, what wuz his name again?) promised to make an updated version....
