reedkiller 0 Posted December 9, 2004 I am planning to make a mini-shrimp based-modification. The basic Idear is to have amphibious shrimp warfare (naval engagemenbts will be on the surface only) The Shrimps will be armed with balistic weapons. We need some one to O2 a shrimp (as a tank class - or even as a man class if you can get it redy for me to animate it!) "The Real Armstrong" has offerd to make missions for the mod and I will busy my self with makeing a shrimp map and shrimp weapons and sounds. ANY help, however small is VERY welcome. Especialy if you can O2 a shrimp! This mod will be Very small, Very unproffesional - but hopefully something diffrent and fun!

Sniperwolf572 758 Posted December 9, 2004 Nah I don't think so, last time I talked to him he was trying to commit suicide! BTW Reedkiller how did it end up? Ontopic: Shrimp Mod? Now IMHO this is even worse than TcM! Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

-ZG-BUZZARD 0 Posted December 9, 2004 I've heard of tanks being called crabs, but Shrimps?!? errr... LOL Â Â Â Â edit: oh well why not? Still would be good for some funny pics & vids Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeLiltMon 0 Posted December 9, 2004 This could quite possibly be the craziest idea I've ever heard of for OFP, but if people are willing to do it then I say go for it! After all we'vce already had Legowars so why not Shrimp wars? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sanctuary 19 Posted December 9, 2004 Well, i was not sure about the translation in my langage of the word "shrimp". But after a google help , i found it. That is a very funny idea, and in the same time very original. So go for it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
void_false 1 Posted December 9, 2004 I'm a bit confused... This is shrimp, right? So your idea is to replace all units with these.... shrimps?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Edge 2 Posted December 9, 2004 X-Com: Terror From The Deep... ...without X-Com. Seriously, this idea is weird, but we had many weird ideas before appearing time by time in the deep and dim waters of OFP community. Some proved to be obsolete, but some (e.g. chicken addon)... well, let's say they found their audience. We have Starship Troopers mod, so shrimps are okay. I would probably never DL/play it, but if anyone wants shrimps... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
reedkiller 0 Posted December 9, 2004 This is a dream of mine, I am so determined to get this mod up to some kind of release (Even if I have to settle with a shrimp face or learn how to convetrt my shi**y *.obj shrimps in to O2) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebns72 0 Posted December 9, 2004 lol! Sounds like it will be fun. But why did you choose shrimp and animals of the sea? Why not other animals? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gollum1 0 Posted December 9, 2004 This is the coolest idea ever, I hope you can pull it off believably with the OFP engine. Shrimp and crustaceans overall are damn cool. MBT? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
reedkiller 0 Posted December 9, 2004 I think it was a unconcious decision. I don't think I have ever seen a real shrimp, but I feel very "connected" to shrimps, crill, crabs and lobsters. However lobsters are to big and have to much of a assosiation with money, crabs are just second rate lobsters and crill are just second rate shrimps. If I was working with prawns I would get to hungry as I LOVE them (for their taste) Shrimps however are perfect, they are everything I want in a good mod. I think they are symbolic of my sexuality.
