DayZ for CWA/OFP?

[noone1]

Anyone got the idea of making a mod for CWA/OFP that would resemble the Arma 2 mod DayZ yet? I personally think I'm not up to the task but I think it's a intersting idea and I thought I'd ask.

To what end? arma2/oa is far superior in technical and other aspects? I guess i'll never understand why people are still playing this old git :P

Well, before mods will close this thread...
I don't agree that ArmA is THAT far superior. It's biggest advantage (when talking about DayZ-like mod) is MP code, especially join in progress. OFP/CWA is so old that nobody will pay for maintaining server for this niche game. So MMO element is out - too few players. But then - everything is possible, many aspects introduced in DayZ (like health system) were present (at least at basic level) in total conversion mods like SLX, ECP ect. Even some kind of open, randomly generated missions is possible, see dynamic campaigns from DMA. So I'd say that DayZ-like mod, but in SINGLE-player, is possible. But personally, I'd rather play post-apocalyptic mod, not another zombie themed (OFP have dozens of them).

Useful comment if any

No need to get angry over this DayZ mania...



Why did I either bother posting?

P.S. @ProfTouresnool: So I understand you also think OFP is an old git, since you agree on Sickboys comment?

So beneath my preference? A2's technical superiority and available improvements is what made DayZ / persistent gaming possible in the first place, so IMO it's a valid question.
Silly me for adding that I do not understand why people would want to play it in OFP, with A2/OA etc available, and much of OFP content being playable/available in some form, it's an honest question.
Apologies if I offended anyone, In no sense I meant it in an attacking way, why so defensive?

That was sarcasm, of course.

Why defensive? because you where offensive in your tone. First you say my hobby is an inferior hobby to yours...."technically". Then you make fun of me for having that hobby. The way you wrote it makes it an insult to anybody playing OFP. I am gonna give you the benefit of the doubt and say that you didn't mean it as an insult you where merely clumsy in your wording.
You could have phrased it differently like:
"I don't understand why you want DayZ mod in OFP, don't you have these X,Y,Z technical problems? OFP doesn't appeal to me anymore what is it that makes you guys still want to play it?" That would make it more a genuine question and not a insult in disguise.

Understood and agreed STGN, you can account it to clumsy and haste. I will try to be more diplomatic in the future.
Thanks for taking the time to respond.

If you like to comment on the question, I am still interested in the answer.
