Hunting Mod Poll

[Vibes 0]

Hello. I had this idea stuck in my head for quite a while now of doing a little hunting mod where you could hunt varios african animals now the question i want to ask is would you be interested in a hunting mod and would you play it if or when it got released?

Ive allready started on a couple of animals one is allready ingame just need scripts.

What me and Dark nova would be aiming for is ultimate realism in the mod, for example realistic tracking, realistic animal behavior and anims, different types of hunting locations and different types of hunting equipment.

Please answer truthfully because we dont realy feel like waisting our time on a project like this if allmost nobodys going to play it.

Anyway some pics of animals in progress.

Buffalo

Zebra

Sure. Why not? That would add more varity to the game and it could be pretty interesting.

Im not much on Hunting when it comes to games.But the idea of haveing them for scenery or what ever in a mission would be pretty cool.Good Luck

how about this

POACHER - ofp mod

and the authorities are always after you like the dukes of hazard  

but seriously, i think everyone who really likes ofp would try it to see what the animals were like (and how they move).

i would play it.

i used to hunt irl but i dont anymore.

not that i have any moral objection to it, the feeling of the rifel in your hand, the trigger clicking back and thuderous boom as the deer goes down.. wonderful feeling.

no i dont hunt anymore cuz i gone vegetairian.. nope im a meatitairan and dont belive in teh senseless killing of plants for food...

i just dont hunt anymore becuz its really early in the morning.. its cold.. and i just dont want to go lol

so this would help satisfy my male urge to kill mame and destroy (other things besides the bad evil men of OFP AI)

No way i would have fun killing animals in a game (as i wouldnt in real life) and i see where it might sound contradictory with the fact that i can virtually kill humans in a game, but when i play some war sim i can think that the guys in the opposite side are really mean guys, blood thirsty bastards and i have a "good" excuse as they are after me, well now, maybe if i'd imagine that i am hunting evil animals with a master plan to take over the planet and put us to slavery :P

Actually, I think OFP would be one of the better game engines for this, given the variety and size of it's terrains.

How about some big hostile game, something that could kill the player character? Rhino or something? Grizzly...

i am sure that it would be fun, and the animals look really good

[ExtracTioN 0]

I want some Crocodiles, Tigers, Snakes, Lions and a Shark.

[Heatseeker 0]

Maybe we could track and hunt...Placebo !

Seriously now i think the animals look superb and could definetly have a high quality varied animal pack in OPF but the hunting thing i just dont know, even knowing there is alot more to hunting than just shooting a weapon, all that stuff with tracking and decoying plus animal behaviour would be hard to achieve and im not really sure if it would be worth all the work .

[MEDICUS 0]

Voted yes.

But i have to say, that i'm not sure if i would play Hunting-games ... but i definitly want this animals! This would fill up the OFP-environment with live!

Screen look really nice.

Wish you good luck with that mod!

deer, rabbits, grouse elk ect. ect. you cant forget the scottish highlands and the scandinavian hunting grounds aswell vibes.

but i think this is a fantstic idea.

Heyaz Vibes,weclome to the forums finally.

Hunting mod sounds kewl,I've pondered the idea too.I know you come from Africa and your talking a somewhat different hunting than in our area.Hunting is very common in our area and most every sport hunter has a 4 wheeler or such to help carry their game out (deer,bear,moose etc..) But what would you haul an elephant home with?

I think OFP engine could do a decent hunting game,could even keep track of where the animal was hit,shots fired etc...

Gonna have gunshops?

[Edge 2]

Always wanted to spot a deer on my random wanderings on Everon. Then I would call it Eden!

Good luck!

I'd like these animals but only to add atmosphere and realistic envoirnment in a map

These animals look great, they would go well in missions.

I voted for yes.

I'm no fan of hunting games but I would play a hunting mod in ofp.

Exactly and i dont like all this out of the sudden blue people dropping with their 'OPINIONSSSS' on animal creutly and so forth , its a game FFS people have made alreadyloads of shit in it which could go be said as inhuman.

The sole purpose of this mod is to have fun in a virtual envoirnment and if there are some weak minded people who dont have control over their minds and might start thinking that allthis can be done in real too need to be put in a padded room without delay.

I've been waiting for such a animal pack for so long it'd be nice for once to have something else roaming on the map (which is earth after all and not lifeless moon ) to look up to and interact with. Maybe if scripts are put in to this great addon we could have some animals with a greater sense of smell go after players or troops and give away their positions as in real life it would add excitement to missions.

Therefore i say release this pack

[stevevcb 3]

Personally, I'd not download it. It's much more of a challenge hunting tanks

[lee_h._oswald 0]

I would play it for a 100%

I really like the deer hunter series, and I think hunting in OFP would be also fun.

Ahh sweet glad to see there would be support for this. So yeah cool we would be going ahead as planed.

Thanks to everybody who voted on this sofar realy appreciate it and thanks for the comments(good and not so good).

We are planing on including dangerous animals that would attack when wounded or maybe for hunger, afterall a wounded buffalo is a very dangerous animal, would allso be adding lions, leopards, rhino, snakes(still looking into this but allready tested animations so that wont be a problem just need to make it so it could kill if its venemous),crocodile and so on.

Other not so dangerous animals would be varios antelopes, smaller cat species, hyena, warthogs, rabits, wild dogs and so on and so on.

We are still deciding on how exactly to do the missions/campaigh initialy we are thinking of doing a linear campaign were you are a game warden and your task is to protect endangerd specief from poachers, have to take part in culling of abundent animals, take part in hunting competition, have to save people from animals gone mad and have to hunt down animals gone mad.

That and/or a single non ending mission where you have a four part island and have to hunt for points start with small animal and hunt varios of them till you have enough points to open up a bridge or transport to second part of island and hunt a bit larger game and it goes on like this till whole island is open from 1st island part where small animals are to 4th island part where you hunt dangerous animals. Each island part would allso have its own weapon table where you could choose your weapons that is most suited for the type of hunt.

@Bratty good to see your still around havent heard from you in a long time.

Edit: Big game like rhino and elephants are usualy hunted by the rich and they use choppers or trucks(more often than not trucks) to move their trophys around, those are probably sponsered by the farm your hunting on for a certain price.

I would love to see this mod. I could imagine it now. strolling through a field then nailing a rabbit with MIG's beretta.... Or taking down a buffalo with an MP5 from the littlebird. I would love to see a baboon starring. I would love to beat the crap outta one of them. those current models look great

[colonel_klink 0]

I voted yes, because I shoot anything that moves in OFP, hell I shoot everything that doesn't move too.. But most of all I shoot the AI morons who keep calling out "Where are you?"

Now if the animals, and birds.. yes dont forget birds.. could react to gunshot sounds and human movement.. that would really be cool.
