JAWS

[***friendlyfire*** 1]

once these following objectives have been achieved we can add jaws can't we we just need

reflective water add on

swimming script

swimming animation

harpoon

shark cage add on

a bigger boat

but I'm still thinking giving it 3 dimensional movement would be hard and telling the shark where the top of the water is

Why do you want to add JAWS in a military shooter?

To quote Jaguar in another thread started by you:

Quote[/b] ]You can sleep in real life, let's make a mod about sleeping. What a great idea that would be.

Making stuff becuase you can is not really the best excuse for addon making, when there is so much which hasn't been made and may actually add something.

I'm not telling anyone it shouldn't be done, I'm saying I'd not download it.. I'm also noticing how these kinds of things are always requests for someone else to spend their time making them..

most useful thread ever?

[***friendlyfire*** 1]

Hate the shark lover then anyways I stand next to that thread, besides you don't like the idea stop wasting my time lets not start an argument if this was a submarine you wouldn't be complaining its the 3 dimensional underwater movement which is the challenge, the shark is just making the thread more exciting than a submarine. this add on is also another sensible idea for multiplayer, instead of putting a deathzone why not let them run out on a boat and lt the sharks eat them? this is more useful than you think it could be, besides you ain't complaining about the fly mod is it because he has more posts or more experienced than you, I am probally one of the least experienced models here but i don't go around making a mockery of other peoples work to seriously, I say its good or its crap then give my reasons I don't waste my time explaining how i don't like the member who else doesn't, so lets move on without more pathetic unconstructive comments

Waste your time??

Anyways, 3d moving underwater won't work man, it just won't. First reason, OFP water isn't deep enough. Second, OFP water isn't really water, its just a fat surface that moves up and down, with nothing underneith it. Third, AI, an AI controled shark would never be able to pop out of the water, reach up on the boat and grab people. Fourth, too hard to make it look anything like real, and Fifth, why the hell would anyone want a bigger boat?

Now I won't sleep tonight.

Just take a sleep pill, you will be out for 12 hours

/avon ignores standard advice and places electric shark stun rod under pillow

[***friendlyfire*** 1]

@theavonlady

hey theres worse ones if you do a google image search theres people been eaten alive

@kyle

yeah you're probaly right this is impossible due to the crappy water

mission then they figure out they're outnumbered and begin to retreat then massive sharks start attacking the boats and

I actually thought about making an operation overlord type u gotta shoot them on the mounted machine gun

u all gotta admit, you'd love to seea unlucky group of russians swimming to survive then gobbled up by sharks

@avonlady: not that i wan't to scare you but,

[Sepe 1]

Ouch, man! I won't go swimming anymore.

[Billabong81 0]

I really see no point to your post eestikas88....

I don't think a shark model is needed for OFP. You are rarely in the water in OFP besides in missions like Underwater Love (great mission BTW, try it if you can).

[eestikas88 0]

Where can i find this mission?

Oh,my post was a joke.

anyways I stand next to that thread, besides you don't like the idea stop wasting my time

It's you, who should stop wasting our time by proposing addons that either cannot be done or serve absolutely no purpose in OFP. Let's see..., how many useless mods like that have you proposed so far?

[Charon-VW:BB- 0]

Why you want to make a jaw/shark?

Why not making something like this:

It's big too and has many teeth

wrrraaaaa

Hey and by the way .. if it's hungry just create something too eat. Perhaps this kind of species

oh my god luck at this ........

This has nothing to do with post counts, or who you are, but the fact that the usefullness of the ideas you propose, whilst showing imagination, are either not possible, not worth the effort compared to the usage they would receive, or not fitting for a game with the theme of OFP.

You can look at this how you want, but the fact is that becuase swimming is basically out of the question in OFP without a serious amount of work, such as COC's diver (and now, how many of these addons have you seen coming out?) and ship-bourne operations are also not suited to OFP's engine, hence the sea warfare aspect of OFP is not really developed so that a mod focuses ENTIRELY on naval operations. There are a few mods, the most notable being FLK, where ships are used, but this is mainly for the starting points of missions. Sharks have this habit of not attacking ships, so I do not see where this idea would fit in there, either. Your idea of "if they fall off the ships, sharks eat them" is invalid becuase people die as soon as they hit the water any way.

As for the fly addon, it is probably not the best idea going, but we shall see how it is done and if this issue of lag will be a problem or not. With ideas like this, it either will or will not work. With ideas like the fly, you really have to be using it to know how it will work.

Now, if you want to keep posting these ideas, no one will stop you. No one is trying to insult you. No one is saying anything which should make you question your own reasons for posting. The fact is, few people would be 100% interested in an idea, and even fewer would be willing to spend their time making these addons. NO ONE is stopping you from learning to make these addons yourself.

You must also come to terms with the fact this is a forum, and at the top of the page there is a word: Discussion. This is not the " Addons and mods:one sided point of view" forum. This means that there are some people who will not like your ideas, and they have as much right to express their opinions against the addons as you do to express your opinions for them.

I hope that justifies why I hold these opinions. No doubt I'll also get called a flamer despite not once trying to insult anyone.

escape from where, surf camp

I'd rather see a General wielding a light saber than an OpF shark really.

And yes, i'm completely out of ma mind and not serious.

[back on topic]

@friendlyfire: now that i think about it (in a realistic way) you could try to come up with a model of a shark fin which might add a bit of atmosphere in a jungle mission.

[miles teg 1]

I know...we don't need no stinking fish mods...what need are more shrimp.  Dude...forget about the fishies...the shrimp mod is where the action is at.  100% pure shrimp fried action!

FEAR THE SHRIMP!!!!

I'm glad we agree on something See the pic of him holding a babie above a croc while the crocs going to eat it

Another there was this really big shark in Adalaide, killed a teenage surfer. Lots of people went out to kill it but the family of the teen said leave the shark

Miles is right! Fear the shrimp mates

***friendlyfire***.....err, wats the purpose of this post?

1. To stir up interest for sharks

2. To seek help in overcomming the engine's limits

3. Are u gonna make the model yourself

4. Or are u asking permission to make a shark?!

1. As some in the post have mentioned, interest for a shark may not be there, but then i guess they speak only for themselves and some others, may not be neccessarily the entire community. So dont feel discouraged.

2. If u are seeking help, u can always post in the help threads under addon config and scripting. You may not get a reply instantaneous but overtime, if someone has the answers i am sure they will reply with some tips.

3. It would be better to make the addon yourself than to request for one, for many have other projects and real life issues to deal with. I have seen your terminator project, it looks promising. Start with it first and try to get use to the 02,cfg and script systems. Once u get the hang of it, it's gonna be pretty easy to make others.

4. Permission?! ..hahaha, u certainly dont need it. But do make addons that pleases yourself than please others, cos each and everyone has different desires -one man's meat is another man's poison.

'greed is good' - a line from the movie wall street. It is, and i can understand your desire for everything in real life and reel life to be mirrored into ofp. For greed will inspire one to achieve something more than what they should be contended with, leading to improvements over current science and technology. Rather than to dig up old threads, why not show us what u are capable of? I have the greatest confidence in you that u can make addons on your own. Many could and so can u. We are a community here and if u have a problem, i am sure some can help u along the way. All the best!
