A populated world? Animals.pbo

[Iron+Cross 0]

Since we read about "GAME2"  & the whole "populated world" & interacting with locals etc. & the hint that "Arma would test some of it" got me mondering,

Im sure most of us Jumped strait into Arma's inner workings as soon as we finished installing, I had a few searches for info on Animals.pbo & populated world dident come up with mutch relavent to Arma current.

So heres what i found in "C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA\AddOns\animals\config.bin"

------------------

Note the Rabit File seems to have a full set of skins & 3d files, but ive never see one ingame. (have any of you?)

So here's whats on my mind, Is this how they (BIS) intend to populate the world? & if so dose any one

(acustomed to Cfg files) think they could use this in a Custom launched  MOd folder to populate the world(map) Randomly with AI People? i thought this might be cool for more enlightend mods that focus on econemy & structue rather than soley "blowing shit up" (which is good)

yours kindly mike (@ all)

-----------------------------------------------------

UPDATE

just a thought any one tried setting the MI-18 to class Butterfly

[dmarkwick 261]

I suspect that the ambient animal life as currently seen in ArmA is similar in nature to the grass, that is, it only ever "exists" around you while you're there. As soon as you leave the area, it disappears. Or rather, it kind of appears & disappears as you move around constantly. Birds seem to be slightly different, but only in scale of existence. I suppose rabbits would be the same, only limited to ground movement and more susceptible to bunching up together as though near a warren.

So I guess it depends if the ground-based wandering code exists. I have never seen a butterfly or a dragonfly in the editor, and I have no idea if they are treated differently to other addons i.e. soldiers.

[Guest]

its not for or in the editor but ingame

ive opened the file and noticed same thing about rabit ... never seen 1 in game, maybe (and i say maybe) because the game is "realistic" (and in reality this happen : ) you can only see rabit at a "specific" place in "specific" time

or not implemented yet ...

just have to wait to have a very good game but still have some piece of good sh** to practice ...

Would still like to see dogs and cats near the populated areas. Sheep, cows, donkeys, horses. Plus a biggest one women and children as civilians.

It is unbeliveable that the islands would be populated by just men and have no domestic animals at all. A guard dog would be a nasty surprise for all those spec ops sneaking around.

[colligpip 0]

I seem to remember playing the demo and there was a dog barking i dont thnk ive heard that since come to think of it may be wrong.

Its the same sound that was in OFP ... its only in certain missions as its a sound trigger, and does'nt "naturally" come in missions.

So any ideas about how where one would start to try & get people spawned like gulls & bugs in game?

as for invisible bunny wabits Europe is crawling with the little flufy eared basterds, they aint hard to spot..

Yes, i totally agree! Finally someone gets to the point!

No womens... ok, men can live with that, but only if they have some domestic animals! ;-))))

...but to be a little productive - there was a functional dog for OFP , and someone is making a wolf for OFP (video, RAR, 25MB, found at www.ofp.info).

I think its only matter of time, people will start making various stuff when(if) the tools are released. I hope it will be soon enough so i will live to see that.

more a question of IFnot when unfortunately.

Holy cow! (or wolf!

That wolf video is AMAZING. Did that ever get released for OFP??? I loved the Doberman dog addon for OFP but i never say that wolf mod. Looks great, anyone got a link?

So the wolf is out for OFP

ftp://www.ofpr.info/ofpd/unofaddons2/ITWEAS_WOLF.zip

Any takers for porting this over??
