ProfTournesol 956 Posted July 26, 2006 Close combat DOES work in OFP (i duno how many times i should repeat this...), it's easy to do without any scripting, just a correct config of the weapons - just a better use of ofp's "strokegun" ability -, and units must be "setunitpos "up"" to use this ability. The only "point" is that when you do not modify the config.bin, you'll have ofp strokegun anim which is awfull and too slow to be effective. If you don't want to create your own "config.bin" modifying strokegun anim as i did (i.e. release a whole mod...), you should create your own "cfgmoves" which is quite boring... @ Shinkansen : did you try my Napoleonic mod ? I've slightly reworked PC sailingships, adding multiple canons and "destroy masts animations + fire", along with sailors and marines. Maybe it could help you. You can freely use anything you want in this mod with no asking, of course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thats why i like PCs method so much, it doesnt use the strokefist anim but uses a hiddenselection with moving arms so you can swing your sword and run at the same time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Haven't seen yet that you have modified the PCsailing ships, I will play around more with it. Yes, I would like to use the sailors and other stuff (gun crew definitions for example) or to ask in the other way, would you be interested to join in?

j w 0 Posted July 28, 2006 You shouldn't do the Black Pearl from Pirates of the Carribean, but some kind of wierd ghost-ship (and, black sails are always nice for that) would be cool. Let's say you are a captain on a pirateship, you must navigate to places where you can steal money and treasures, but if there is too many people there against you, it is not a good choice, even if there's alot of money to get. At the same time, steering out in a vicious storm isn't the smartest thing to do either, aswell as you must keep away from the formerly mentioned ghost-ship. Sounds like a good concept?

Hi, yes for a mission concept the player should start in a very small boat, and trying to climb up the ladder of success by boarding, plundering and burning whatever comes in his way. Sooner or later he will get more powerfull ships to set his flag on, but ships like the two gun-deck warhip and the Black pearl should be kept on the Nonplayer side.

FriketMonkey 0 Posted July 30, 2006 The Flying Dutchman is a very comblicated ship with a lot of details on it an will need a lot of special textures. But I have got the plans... Ever heard of the batavia? It was a ship of the Dutch VOC. They made a replica realsize. If you search you will find enough pictures, maby this could help you with finding textures and such. hope that this will help you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As far as I know there are two replicas built by the dutch that match the time of pirates very well: - Duyfken (~25m length) - Batavia (~56m length) But there are no plans available in the internet for the Batavia. I need a side, top and rear view drawing at least. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
