Hey all.
Iv been playing OFP online alot lately but,im getting a bit bored of the usuall CTF,TDM or DM ect.. i want summing new,summing along the lines of C&R and civ role play.But there aint many mission likes thous sadly So heres my idea.
How bout Zombies (ok dont click the little x in the coner just yet!hear me out first this could be good trust me) a island infested with zombies im thinking of skye island.so since this is MP youll have team mates witch you must meet up with and ecscape from the isalnd.
features could be:
*night and day cycle
*random weath change(mainly heavy fog for atmosphere ;))
*lack of ammo
*multiple ways of ecscaping witch the players must find there selvs
My second idea is a bit more complocated and was inspired by C&R and Civ role play.
This could also take place on Skye island but insted of the isalnd all ready being infested by zombies it starts befor the infestaion.
Players can choose there roles from soldiers,police and civilians.then,live there lives erning money and buying suplies for the inpending invasion.Then after a certain time the infection will begin and zombies will start from one end of the island invading some small town some where and moving on to the citys then intire island,then who ever chose the soldiers roles will have to protect the citys and town from the zombies,the civilans must try survive and the police must keep the order amongest the caos .
Possible features:
*Civlians can kill each other then steal money off each other bodys (thus creating a jobs for the police and also another thing to worry about as well as zombies ;))
*night and day cycle as well as random weath change
*Being able to rob shops,houses,banks,cinimas,ect..(so whiles police r busy with zombies the civis can go cause some riots :P)
*Respawn intill the intire island gets conquerd by zombies.
*Soldiers r not very well equiped also soldiers can build barriers (like cops in C&R)
*soldiers and cops cannot steal money from civilians and civilians canot steal money from soldiers and cops
well thats it!If any one can think of any other ideas for this there welcomed to say.Allso i am attempting to make the first idea my self but sadly things aint going well at the moment The second idea was directed towards any one who thinks they can possibly make it.It would be like a heavly modifide C&R + Civ role play missions.whever my second idea is possible in multiplayer is open for discussion.
P.S.If u dont like this idea plz dont flame me and sorry for the ammount of writing and thank u for spending ur time reading it.
thanx,
D.murphy man

Just one thing: Death.
To get killed in this is going to be soooooooooooo boring. If yer killed in a normal Coop it only take a few min(except if yer admin hehe) but here itÂ's gonna take a lot of time before you get to play again. That often ends with 2 guys playing on the server cause every1 else left when they died.
-
Well its more of a reason not to get killed then ;)
but if u was say,making my second idea u would have respawn and when ur home town/city gets infested u respwan in the next closes town/city intill the island gets conquerd by zombies then u would have no respawn and then try take the island back or try and ecscape or summing along thous lines
-
Hey
I like the idea (Although I'm too dumb to go online) and there was another post about makin zombie addons.
About your second idea, Sorry, I only read the first 4 sentances ::) but (If your gonna like, make a third idea/mission) You could make it that your a bodyguard outside a research center (In another post they're trying to make a embassy addon) and your guarding it (From gimbal tossers which are angry people, you know, like people agaisn't GE?) and then all of a sudden out comes the zombies because the experiment went bad..............................................ok, that's a gay idea, don't listen to me.
*Hangs himself
O Neil ;)
-
You mean like this?
Half-Life meets Resident evil and become Operation Flashpoint.
Somethin like that was in yer mind? ;) :D
-
Well thanks for the suggestion O Neil...any way,my second idea could be easyely done jus by useing Slashes Civil RPG MP mission(if he lets us) and then get some one to help me out on this Zombie script witch i got and sqeez out a few bugs init so it works in MP,and then my first version of this zombie mission will be completed in say about a week.
P.S.any suggestions on the name of this mission??
thnx,
Murphy Man 8)
-
Operations Zombie Muncher............mabey not. ;)
Something like, Operation Evil Resedents..............
O Neil ;)
-
lol how about Incubation or The Infestaion or maybe The Skye Virus (or what ever island i plan to make this on)?
P.S.Still looking for help and ideas
-
If you want help with your campaign, I can help you if you want, mainly the cut-scenes (Scripted).
O Neil ;)
-
real cool idea... its got me wanting to go in and start working on making it but im still learning scripting so i dont think it would be possible for a while
but if there is some way i can help let me know.. love the idea.. been waiting for someone to come up with this just i was hoping i would hear about it when it was out.. lol
anyway let me know.. also i think something like having it so the more ofthe island the Zombies take over the smarter the get like when they take half the island they start learning how to use small arms riding bikes or somthing lol... as for the name... if it is on Skye then "Skye Virus" sounds pretty cool
if not anything else i can be a beta tester... let me know
cya later
-
oh and "Operation Zombie Muncher"??? sounds more like
pacman vs resident evil to me
-
Thnx for the idea about the zombies getting smarter Sol Fire and yes u ur welcomed to help me you to O neial i need all the help i can get!
Also i got a zombie script sorted and its working fine in multiplayer,at last! just a few tweaks here and there and itll be perfect. ill inform u of more news as i go on this topic.
any more suggestions and idea will be recieved with open arms so plz keep posting
-
hey happy to help... and since i own the DVD of resident evil maybe i will watch it a few times again and pick up a few ideas for ya and mix them with my own to come up with some cool ideas.. i dont know
how about ability to become infected and if that happens you have 15 minutes to get to a hospital and use the antidote or your dead? ;D
and maybe some BIGGER type zombies.. more rare but 3 times stronger and can take more bullets then a regular?
;)
-
maybe lay a few guns around the map in places like a shack or in a attic
ammo laying here and there too so it gives the feeling of a real life situation?
some vehicles here and there with very limited gas supply?
-
WOW! :o very very nice idea's i love the one about getting infected and having to get to a hospital.Ill see if i can make this with my some what limited scripting skills.
At the moment i just started on making the skye mission iv spent most of the time testing scipts so far.So gonna go now and get working on it
-
how about like in the RE movie the only way to kill the zombies are to blow the head off(AKA shoot the head)
this causing the electric brain waves that continue to go on for days to cease to exist causing the Zombie to die and any shots in the chest and stomach only slow it down and in the legs it just causes them to crawl
-
when you have a beta version email me it and i will test it for you and find any and hopefully all things needed to be fixed for ya
also here is an idea.. when the player is injured instead of crawling he can only walk slow and when injured a bit more THEN he crawls and so on.. this way he can get injured and walk slow instead of lay down and crawl wich is very very bad in this case where you might need to get up a flight of stairs to stay alive from a horde of zombies that by crawling you probly cant get up therefore you die
also would be cool so you can be seen better by other players that can help you out that if crawling they might not notice you
;)
and be sure to have male AND female players/Zombies so it looks more real
oh and have bycycles around here and there.. atleast its transportation... ;D
:-\ how does the mission end by the way?
-
Well i havent thought of a way to end it yet.
Also i have a lil test mission for MP i can send ya it includes just about most of the scipts and stuff im gonna use.
-
well go ahead and send it or if its not to big message me and attach it to the message
i'd like to tinker with it a while.. also if you want i can make an example mission for you on how we could end the mission
O NEIL... WAKE UP MAN YOU GOT ANY IDEAS??! :P
anyway i was thinking ending the mission from one of the outer islands with a cutscene or if its single player with the outro loose if the zombies take the island a Scud launches a nuke at the island but it doesnt kill the zombies... O Neil knows more about cutscenes then me so he could do the cutscene for us if he wants to help
and if the zombies lose and dont take the island it ends showing a cutscene of life going back to normal and the cutscene ends showing more zombies showing up.. that way it leaves the game open for a sequel if it was to be made.. and these 2 cutscenes could leave it open for 2 different sequels.. one where your taking the island back and two where you are defending against them again but this time they are in bigger numbers and alot smarter then last time
just an idea.. but something to end in a win and lose that would leave it open for sequels if it was to be made
be pretty cool looking too even if a sequel was to follow or not ;)
-
well iv all ready sent it to you after i posted my last post i think i cant remember ill post it to you again and PM you throw this forum too.allso feel free to tinker with it all you like im sure you can do a betta job then me.
P.S.any one intrested in helping us??
-
im not sure about that :P
im good with missions etc.. but scripting i havnt taken the time and effort to figure all of it out yet
im good with things i learn but i sometimes dont take the time that i really should to learn some of it.. but most of the time if it takes me a while to learn it sticks with me for years if i learn it and memorize it in a day well.. i forget if i dont use it for a week :-[
thats why i prefer to take my time.. i took my time with OFP editor.. at first all i knew right off the bat was how to put in stuff so all i made was mess around missions to learn the maps.. now im setting waypoints triggers etc...
and i took about half a year off from playing OFP and came back about 2 or 3 months ago and now i know more about OFP then i used to
i prefer to learn at my own pace so right now im not into scripting yet but when i learn it then just maybe ;)
but i will tinker with the scripts and maybe i can find some cool things to do with them but not likely anytime soon if ever i will do a better job
.. damn hotmail has a limited amount of addresses to block so i cant block ALL of my junk mail so i get about 100 in 2 or 3 days its annoying
i got the email
-
thats pretty cool... it looks like its ready for Beta gameplay wise..
you want to test it in Multiplayer? ;D
-
hey murphy want me to find some custom music that would fit in with this mission that you can have play randomly throughout the mission?
-
if you want to test the mission and you have MSN Messenger add me and talk to me with that so i can hear the jingle.. going to see what i can do with the mission so i wont be checking the board very often
if you dont then email me and msn will notify me and i will check back here
im looking for custom music that would be pretty good for this mission instead.. be checking this once in a while
-
:-\
hello?.....
im all alone?!
HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!

In Times Where Zombies Rule The Earth I Will Sit And Laugh As All The Pathetic Little People Of Earth Suffer And Die A Horrible Death And When Only One Person Is Left I Will Then Unleash My Wrath Upon the Earth Letting Only This Last One Soul Left To Feel The Pain Of The Earth Shattering And Then I Will Push The Retry Button And Play The Mission Again

...... i like nukes too much ;)
......"Scud's.. The Only Way To Go"
ok ok im bored i admit it
hmm..... how about.... nah
-
hey how about adding 1 or 2 zombies on the back roads that someone might travel on.. not the ones out in the boonies that no one would most likely go im thinking back roads like some of the dirt roads and between places that are far apart so you not only have to watch out in towns but also on roads too
also i never seen any ammo crates anywhere i went much less needed them i made it to the escape "Vehicle" with only some grenades i got out of a police truck that sat in the road.. how about adding a pistol and some ammo to a few vehicles along the roads too so its a bit easier to find a gun but not too easy.. probly 2 or 3 cars have a pistol in it and 1 car somewhere hidden or something with a m16, Sniper Rifle and a Revolver in it but this one should be EXTREMELY hard to find
also make a placement radius for the "Transportation" off the island so its never in the same place all the time.. that way you have to search the area a bit to find the thing..
i like a LOT of the stuff you put in here too like some vehicles blocking the roads etc.. but i never did find a gun so add some in misc areas like have some laying on the ground near some bushes (not in crate) or something like that
closer to the escape "vehicle" you get the tougher the enemy should be too.. maybe add some that have a pistol but only 1 clip cause a zombie isnt likely to know how to reload but watching the humans it should notice how to kill.. ;)
-
oh
put "ShowMap 0" in the Description.ext so that you cant look at the map to see where on the map you are
-
Ahhhhh ! Sorry, you called me ages ago, I seriously thought that I had a say in this thread !!?? WTF is with that? I thought I suggested some ideas...ok, I'll shut up now.
Soz, I didn't read 100% of the last thread, so I may be blunt. ;)
...............NOOOOOOOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOOOOOO ! I was just talking to Sol Fire on MSN, it's for Resistance !!!!!!!!!! I DON'T HAVE IT !!!!!!!!!!!!
*Hangs himself.
O Neil
PS: That is really getting annoying !!!!!! >:(
-
*Un-Hangs himself
MSN talk:
"but the Zombie mission me you and Murphy are working on is cold war freindly so if you want to check it out too you can
O Neil says:
So does that mean I can play the mission YOU guys create >?
yeah"
AWSOME !!
So, anyhoo, you can still count me in as the team.....please :(..... ;)
Just tell me the specifics and I'll get right on to it.
In other news, I reckon,,,,,,,,just forgot......dammit.
O Neil
-
IM NOT ALONE ANYMORE!!!!
lol
;)

You had D.Murphy man
-

:o*Yawns* Hey guys just got up.
Well i just started on Skye Virus and This time ill try and make it easyer to find guns(but not to easy ;)) sadly i dunno how to place guns by them selvs so thats why they had to me in ammo crates :-\but i will take your advise sol and place them in cars and stuff.
Also im trying not to use pistols but that civilian shot gun thing,you know the kolzice (or somthing like that) as you have to reload after every shot witch means you must get some distance between the zombies and you befor you shoot,So it forces you to run away most of the mission insted of just shooting every thing that moves.
Iv all ready tested it with some of my Game Spy buddies and it was very enjoyble.We found our selvs running up a road in the dark being chased by zombies after the fuel in our car ran out.
And finally Sol fire plz take your time to lern scipting i dident mean to rush you.Every thing i know about scipting i lernt from taking my time,i havent even read any tutorials on scripting,iv lernt it by looking at other ppls work,reading forums,asking for help and just messing around on the map editor.So plz take your time to lern its the best way to do it
-
Well after a intire day working hard my fingers hurt.
Also i completed a beta test version of The Skye Virus!! ;D
it has police the military and civilians all playble.The police and military can allso build a barrier via the action menu.the civilians all start off in there own homes,and each of them have a empty ammo crate in there homes to store items in.I am thinking of having some sort of trading system insted of learning how to scipt a money scipt.so like they jus trade equipment with each other.or use summing like flares (or some other item) as currency
Example:
2 flares for a gun
5 flares for a car
ect...
if any one els would like to input there ideas and suggestions on this trading system or the mission in a hole pleas reply.
-
Hey
I'm doing the cut-scene, but I'm not really sure what you guys want, and Sol FIre just told me to do something, and Murphy was too busy :-\
I think someone mentioned scuds so I put them in there, and basically it's a overview of the mission, just so you get the idea of what happens. I'll probably have to get you guys to do the rest, like add in the Zombies for I only have 1.46 ( :gunman: RES).
Anyhoo, about the gun thing, could you just setdammage some guys with their guns? It would make it look like they've been killed/eaten 9Or whatever) and you can get their guns off them.
Just wondering.
O Neil ;)
-
Well i havent got any idea for a cut-scene and also to make zombies just get some civilians and put in there init
This setdammage 0.80
instant zombie ;D but as for ideas for a cut scene i aint got any sorry neil
-
im back.. cancelled... rained today
anyway you can use a script i guess to lay guns around on the ground etc...
by the way.. before i left i had found something that helped me major core on learning scripting so im ( ) this much closer to learning script ;)
im doing my best now that im back to find out how to use that script for laying guns on the ground etc.. i will let you know how when im done
as for the cutscenes i figured something not too complicated but not too simple either
anyway..... i will be on msn all day and night if you need tot alk to me or something.. meanwhile i will be working on my own scripted movie
for some reason i love making movies... and love watching them even more but i never make it to release it.. but i might in the future but for now im just having fun learning what i dont know
but i will get that script for you murphy and i will figure it out for you and also send me that skye virus if you havnt already.. going to check my email now so if you havnt then do it whenever you can and we can progress through this mission
but i might take a break from OFP to play my hunting game so if my status is be right back then im hunting otherwise im on OFP or im looking for something for OFP
cya later and good luck on that cutscene neil.. i think maybe you should just make some cutscenes for intro/win/lose and send them to me and murph and maybe we can vote on them or if we think of some ideas you could include them to the cutscenes untill they are perfect
but anyway just try making some and maybe we will find the ones perfect for this mission cause since we dont know what we want just make it up
im sure they all will be great its just finding that certain "One" that will be hard ;) i have faith in ya man..
well better stop yappin and start working.. god i missed OFP :'(
;D
-Sol
-
Lol, I guess your happy that it's cancelled, back into the warm.........what ever you live in ::)
I like main vid missions to cause I suck at mission makin'
Lol, just lookin down and saying something back to all these lines of writing
Hunting game ! I seriously want one, does anyone know where I can download a good one WITHOUT having to pay or deeply subscribe to the site?
Anyhoo, About the cut-scene, I'm 90% done, about 5 mins long (Probably shorter). At the end, you'll see that the enemy are all spetznats. (Opps) Those are your zombies, cause I don't think that setdammage thing will work for me ( :gunman: RES) so you can just change them.
Anyhoo, I'll be goin then.
O Neil

right peeps heres the latest news on my mission.
Its all most completed now just adding finishing touches.
Iv all so mannage to get my hands on a hunger scipt witch makes the player die if he dont 'eat' thanks to Harnu at the flashpoint 1985 forums.Ill be adding this scipt to the mission to force the players to fight each other for food.
I am allso planning to add the ablity to raid shops for stuff.Example would be raiding a camping shop will give you the option on your action menu to build a camp fire and tent,and raiding a gun shop will give ammo and maybe guns.
So thats bout it for now.but i need more ideas for shops and what they give you so any one got any suggestions??
-
maybe libraries to learn how to set up the tents etc.. make it so you can use them untill you learn "HOW" to use them at a library?
-
Zombie Mail Man? Brings The Mail for a Small Fee? ;D
actually no that would be pretty stupid.. funny yet stupid ;)
(Personally i would rig the mailbox with a bomb)
seriously though
didnt get much OFP time in today i first helped my dad out with some work he needed help with then i sat for 2 hours watching TV then a spent 30 minutes working on OFP then the rest of the time downloading stuff
think im burned out of OFP mission editing i need someone to kill!!
or atleast team up with
i updated to 1.91 now.. so far nothing has messed up
hey Murph how about me and you play the Skye or Everon Virus ??? ... i seriously need a break from OFP editing and the only freind i have that owns OFP isnt able to play online lately and probly not for a few months more so im totally burned out and need a break ;)

I'll let you shoot my legs so i have to crawl.. :beat:

anyway if you want to play let me know im ready anytime
(that im online that is) ;)

-
i suppose for on the ground instead of using table put a Game Logic
-
too bad ya cant go from coop to dm when ya die by a zombie you become a zombie
-
Hey wazzup !
(I think this topic could be locked..not sure, but it could)
Soz I couldn't get back for a while, we had a whole line of gay things happening. And I'm still busy.
I finished the cut-scene.........umm........atleast I think I did. No, I have finished it but it doesn't end, I still have to do that, but other than that, it should be good.
So I've put it in the attachment, it ain't my best, but It's alright.
O Neil
PS: I seriously need to find out how you can see a SCUD from long ranges (Cam_create ??) because it looks gay in the cut-scene. ;)
PPS: Sorry I called it sky virus, I forgot what we were doing ;)
-
you know big dog thats a pretty cool idea
O Neil is that the same as the one you sent me VIA Messenger? or did you work on it some more ???
and in case it does get locked maybe we should talk about this through Email or something...(could use my message board too since it currently is "Dead" member wise untill i start Recruiting people to my BF1942 clan but that will be a while since 1.3 crashes my game) ;)
if you want to move this topic over to my board for "Safe Keeping" we can just email me and i will email you guys back with the Link to my board
also be good incase we make a Sequal to this we will have a place to talk and this way my board is used aswell.. ;D
anywho try that lay weapons murph it should work and its real easy too
be great in this mission
right now i have a lot of free time though so how about coming up with a project for me to do like maybe a "Commercial" for the Sequel?
or something cause im bored of getting ideas... oh Murph can you make a Tutorial on how you made those shops etc.. and the eating too cause i would like to include those in a mission im working on
-Sol Fire
-
Yea, but I did do a few things at the end. ;)
-
ok
-
hey murph whats the latest?
if you have a good setup with the food/eating script could you send me it?
im working on a mission that would be great with that in it ;)
well i have OFP working again but im not going to install Res for a while.. and very little if any addons will be used in any of my missions from now on
murph when you finish this Zombie mission how about helping me out? im working on a mission and its in close to the first Beta stage and is real Simple for now but soon im going to be adding more features etc... so i will need help with it
fully Multiplayer and im thinking of adding a group of Resistance men to the game too so its 1vs1vs1 instead of just a 1 on 1 MP mission(each 1 is a team of 6 5 being AI)
not going to give out much Detail on this mission though
well i better get back to work.. cya
-
Hey guys sorry bout not getting intouch for a while but iv been very busy latly witch allso means that there is no new news on the mission.so im still putting the eating feature in,and havent started on the shop thing :-\so ill bring you more news as i go and also i will help ya out with ur mission sol
-
Hey
In the middle of my files somewhere, I found a ZOMBIE face ( you know, a setface face) if you guys want it, I can send it to you/put it in the forums.
O Neil
PS: If you know how to put jpg faces on, in game, PLEASE TELL ME what to do, I put this setface "Face.jpg" (Or something like that, it's in my command file somewhere) but it never shows up :-\
O Neil
;) ;) ;) ;)

.........ok, that wa gay ;)
-
right im still working on things having some proplems with removeaction command but the first beta version for The Skye Virus will be finished soon im glad to say ;D
Im going to put the ablitiy for the military to be able to order a evacuation of the island via the action menu.Then all the players must evacuate the island in a certain amout of time befor the intire island is nuked.
Thats it! more news soon ppl gotta get back to work on da mission now
-
to Remove action
("Mans Name" removeaction "actions ID")
so say if i added the action like this :
ID1 = w1 addaction ["Set Flag","build.sqs"]
(ID1 being the action ID and w1 being the soldier im adding the action to)
i would remove it like this:
w1 removeaction ID1
and put that in the script at the end so when they build or use the script the action dissapears and you can also use the script to add a new action too
that should help ;)
thats what i used in my mission for the ability to set up base anywhere on the island allowing the player to always be somewhere else meaning its always a challenge to find/kill them etc..
that should work fine for you it did for me if it doesnt send me the script your working on and i will see if i can get it to work
Remember to remove the correct ID otherwise you'll keep setting the same thing over and over and get multiple actions
Well im going to go back to work i gotta find more features etc... to add to my mission
-Sol Fire
-
"gotta find more features etc... to add to my mission"
.....like a zombie face ?
O Neil
-
well iv finished it and its ready for testing!
and i wont bofer with da zombies face neil but thnx any way.So if any one is willing to put my mission up on there site plz pm or reply on this topic.
thnx,
