Roman mod?
« on: 23 Feb 2005, 09:46:07 »
Hello,

I hope this isn't asked before, i tried the search function but he couldn't find anything.

Is it possible to make roman soldiers? with swords and big shields and armour? use bows and arrows? I don't know any thing about addon making but it would be really cool if this is possible!  :o

Thx   ::)

This has been up a few times, mostly about medieval units.

The most common conclusion would be that yes it's possible, but no, it wouldn't work very well.

I'd guess you could do a crossbow addon quite easy since it requires no new animations. Bows could be done but need more work. Swords could be done in theory, but it doesn't work very well.

It's everything OFP wasn't designed for. You want roman units I suggest the terrific game Rome: Total War. :)

Just imagine 200 romans vs 200 babarians launching at each other in the valley of southern Everon... in wedge formations! ;D

What? A platform game?

That's fangoriously ridiculous!

It's the best RTS-come-TBS in history (perhaps...)

Oh and if you have FDF mod, you could use the same animations from the baton/axe for a sword, so that would be easy enough.

Have you seen OFP clipping?

Once you've seen it, you'll never be the same... ;)

Dunno why, but I remember that line from a song. ::)

Anyways, you'll be running to play Rome: Total War once you watch a battle on OFP with swords and clubs and such. ;)

You've done som CQC (or CQB or however you like it) right? So you walked up this stair to another floor of this building right? Then you fall through the stairs! That's clipping, as an example. Basically it's a problem OFP have with it's big, bulky and quite useless physics engine.

Yes, coz by all accounts it uses the modified unreal engine (2 I think).

No it doesn't. OFP2 uses a modified version of the OFP1 engine. Just like VBS1.
