a nice idea though not usre how it will work it sounds more like a Mgs 3 Snake eater without the firing and deserted on ofp's desert island but obdviously without all the cool stuff he has
so basically its a survival game in ofp

eeerrrrmmm..... ideas
* A sleeping script cant go fot to long without sleep
* A message in a galss bottle
* Build thigs using a counter of what materials you have
* Cut wood and trees
* a swiming script

i cant think of any more now but if i think of any ill make sure i post them

good luck on the mission

* a swiming script

If you do do this, you could use the script in the upcoming Ninja addon that allows you to swim more realisticly.

Also, a tired script would be good, so if you try to go out too far without a boat, you get too tired and have to go back.

Post by: 456820 on 16 Jul 2005, 21:11:57: well i think the main idea of building things is a boat you could also build small huts and little camps

Post by: marcus3 on 16 Jul 2005, 23:34:37: what do u mean little camps?
and i can not find a raft addon thing some one up to makeing it?

Post by: Dubieman on 17 Jul 2005, 03:43:53: Well one use for the firearms you were carrying when your plane went down and you found the box, is to hunt the animals or birds or something.

Plus it could be "interesting" if say, I know this is a far fetched idea, your copilot has a random chance of going crazy after a long time and trying to kill or eat you. Say you ran out of food for a long time... :P
Though it is a little edgy for an idea. (the copilot) :-X

well i mean like instead of omehow having the right materials for making a tent why not cut some wood and put it inbetween you haid tie it with string and then cover the gaps with a load of leaves

Post by: CAS_Daniel on 18 Jul 2005, 00:15:06: I reckon it would make a good mission. You could mix in a bit of storyline from the film "Forty Days and Forty Nights" - have some modern-day pirates come to the island. If they find you, they'll hunt you down, and you can nick weapons Resistance-style.
Either way, you could eventually use their radio for a lift out, or steal one of their rides to safety. :)

marcus3 made the mistake of making a thread for Cast Away in both the "mission ideas" and "beta testing" forums. you can find the thread for the Cast Away beta at http://www.ofpec.com/yabbse/index.php?board=23;action=display;threadid=24696

and the d/l link for the newest version of the mission (editor102.pbo required):

Title: Re:Cast Away
Post by: Mikero on 22 Jul 2005, 12:18:08: I dont mind where the moderators finally decide to plunk these two threads, the entire theme is fantastic, i love it. Right now, it's taking off in the beta missions forum with <ahem> new 'enhancements'. you guys are BRILLIANT. please keep it going, coz it has every chance of going far. I think your call was right Marcus that it's far too early to be a beta, and does indeed belong here. I'd rather see it back in beta as a formal bug & road test after you've all hacked away at it here.

I recommend that you 'solve', one, or the other, thread so that you aren't chasing all over the place for replies. Because replies, you're gonna get.
