Wild West Mod

[drift501 1]

Hi all. I'm in the process of making my first mod. The mod when I hopefully finish it will contain a new terrain, lot's of new animals, new guns, horses, new units and lots more. My mod is going to be set in the old west so the units will be cowboys, the law, Indians, outlaws and the others. The guns will be things like Winchester Repeaters and revolvers. Now for the question I mainly started this thread for. What should my terrain be. I will give you detailed explanations of the poll options

1. A do it all terrain with desert messas, more vegetated desert, swamp, great plains and pine forrest biomes.

2. A terrain with vegetated desert that leads into a less vegetated, for messa like desert with a large grand canyon based canyon and buttes.

3. All of the biomes listed in the first option but in their own seperate terrains or islands.

I haven't started on the terrain yet so thats why I opened this poll. If I get no votes I will choose the first option.

Thanks, drift501

EDIT: Can't get the poll to work. Just post your ideas in the thread

If you need suggestions some general insiration you may want to have a look at 1866, a mod for Mount&Blade. It´s excellent!

Yeah. I know the polls not working. But any opinions on the terrain. And also how big should I make the terrain.

I'm really looking forward to seing your work, we're lacking of those types of mods in ArmA2 (while they were done in OFP), I hope you've got some experience in modding those games cause this will be a lot of hard work.

I made a poll for you. PM me if you don't want it. I changed the wording of your options a little to fit the 100 character limit.

I predict most users will see the option for moar terrains and click that one.

Thanks Max. I will get screenies up of weapons as soon as I have them in a presentable form.

Ok. Quick update, I have started working on the terrain in L3DT. It currently features a large canyon with a river that get deposited at the sea, A large mountain range with a lake that lead to the waterfall which feeds the river, a dormant volcano and one butte. I think I will make a little bit of the terrain as a plains biome because I have found a good quality bison model I have permission to use.

Hi all, quick update. I have got the terrain into visitor with the height map and satmap. Hopefully I will be able to show you some ingame or buldozer screenies soon.

Maybe it's good to add Lucky Luke and the dalton in this mod ;)

Yeah. People can probably use dbo horse until I get a horse with better features, eg. fluid animations, better textures, responds to your whistle etc.
