I may update the pack. Unfortunately they are only one group of people. Soon I'll make it so you can place one individual person wherever you would like, and not have to use a huge block of people like a lego.

Could be useful for stuff like rally races, if you could get one line of people all facing the same way.

nice stuff! could be useful with the zombie addon.. have all these blocks of people in the distance move closer and close to the player, then when they reach X distance spawn a few zombies. have a few of these blocks going and it could sort of look like a giant horde of zombies runing at you...

of course it require a lot of tweaking and such to get it looking ok..

Yea.. I guess it would be cool for a racing mod or something, maybey a parade in a particular cutscene...

You could also do illusions like this

of course you would have to tweak around the placement of some units to make it look a little more believable than in that screenshot

Great idea, I think if you were to place a few facing one direction, that could lead to some interesting missions

I like the screenshot from overhead especially, looks very nice.

Pierre be sure to post the video when you have completed it! I'm interested to see how this addon could be used

[Sepe 1]

Sounds like it's time for a riot again!

Wow, its great! I am making a mission for myself where there is a re-election campaign on Nagova and I need my candidates to speak to the crowd. Can this crowd cheer? or protest? clap their hands? whisle? Things like that? Later there would be assasination attempt on the socialist candidate, can this crowd run in panic?

[Shadow NX 1]

Intresting idea

One suggestion, wouldnt it be better to put a hundred of the ofp civillians on lets say desert island, take screens from that mass and then make a crowd addon from it?

Would fit ofp even more i think, just a idea though

[Gedis 0]

hey, wait! maybe i'll see myself in that crowd

very interesting idea! you just invented something new in whole OFP world!

Unfortunately no.  You could however get the sounds needed for that type of scene, and just do some strategic camera scripting, not focusing entirely on the crowd... this was really made as a background addon for simple things.

There should be a larger pack today coming out with individual people, including soldiers, and not just a cluster of them. (So you can strategically place each individual unit how you see fit) IE in a line, a formation, a circle, whatever.

Also Shadow, it would be a good idea, however the crowd would look somewhat repetitive. Each batch of people in the addon has around 30 different characters within. Using OFPs limited 17 textures or so would be somewhat robotic, and may also cause some serious pattern problems when they are seen as a group.

[-HUNTER- 1]

actually this is really excellent! But maybee you could also make like arabs, or rioters, maybee lots of soldiers in tight formations for parades!

nice addon will be used allot!

I'll try and do a bunch of variations. Culling and no Culling so people don't have to swing their addon around in the editor properly all the time or if they dont need large amounts of people

[.COMmunist 0]

So, if I understand correctly, this is more like a "painting" on the background. So, the crowd doesn't have any human abilities. In other words, can the crowd be killed?

If this is just a "painting", will it be posible to make it like a billboard with signs? I want my demostrators to hold up campaign slogans, and it would be great if with some scripts mission makers can write their own slogans on banners.

A nice addition would be to simulate animations on the crowd by making a slightly different version of the crowd. And then to continually switch the two crowds (2 different objects) by deleting the first crowd and then immediatly camcreating the second version of the crowd at the same position as the first. This should be done in a script ofcourse.

im wondering if it would be posible to have that animated in the same way as the smoke and fire sprites. like have a few frames so it looks like they are moving.

i bet someone could do it.

[colligpip 0]

could someone animate this so it looked like they were advancing fowards so that from a distance it looked like you had a crowd coming towards you and then an animation of them all dying as i fire into them with my large weapon.

and could they be a load of chavs

oh i better try and work out how to do it myself
