New flies addon

Hello everybody. As you probably know OFP lacks insects.

I've started work on flies. Here random screensot.

Maybe someday I will convience guys to implement it into ECP.

I already see a bug in this addon.

But does it fly.

I will create it through DROP command so it wont eat resources.

This is just a model.

Don't make it so ultra-detailed then. Generally, a black ball with two white squares is good.

ugh.....i hope you were joking then void.

do you need all the legs? best to keep the polly count ultra low with this kinda addon

The ultimate in immersive play!! - flies, mosquitoes, bees, viral airbone germs - please add some kill value to it, that will put the protective suited guys to good use, and also give hell to the snipers trying to aim a bad time as in real

do you need all the legs? best to keep the polly count ultra low with this kinda addon

well... an insect needs 6 legs to be an insect... kinda important

can we shoot them?

can we shoot them?  

Or target them with a Strela?

I think "bug" is also an americn word for an insect or it is a type of insect in america. i.e. It is a humorus pun

Let me explain....Avon made a joke by saying the bug thing...

Bug = slang for insect/creepy crawly

Fly= Bug

So to say you can see a bug in the fly model is a joke.

Thank you for not getting jokes.

LOOOL ROFLMAO

As i said - DROP.

Now it looks more realistic:

lol

Can't the legs be black lines on a transparent texture? To save polys... I dunno how it works really.

Edit: Type-o

Lookin' very nice, but a thousand of those will lag a "bit."

Though it would be cool in a cutscene (and why not in a mission too) to see flies buzzing around corpses after the battle.

I'd rather have my precious cpu power spent on more important things in OpF than to animate & move hundreds of flies around dead men. The sounds of flies are enough imo - they already boost battle atmosphere and that's all which is needed.

Just my opinion though.

For those who are familiar with the 'drop' command, there may not be much lag. 'drop' is the dust from which all vehicles have when they move and made more spectucular by BAS, flashx and several others for their addons.

I believe if cleverly crafted, it would be useful in many missions thru the use of cunning scripts to achieve a credible and realistic potrayal of conditions on the battlefield, not necessary only for cutscenes. All the best!!! ( unless u are pulling our legs with this bug! )

THX god at least somebody understands me here.

I was thinking about learning to script to use the drop comand to do insects and distant birds, wouldn't it be more cpu friendly than a model?

Not critizising or anything, is just that I would imagine the scene:

Terrain+soldiers+vehicles+flies+etc, all that with models, sounds, textures, and whatever else, plus the game special effects= hell?

I would like to see this done, put have ;poli count into consideration to the rest of the things that are aded and what performance this is gonna have in an average pc, never mind a low espec one, this will never work in one of them. lol.

Like I said, I'm not critizising or trying to put you off, I'll want to have this things in game, but only if they are not going to be a pain in the back side with performance.This is just constructive critizisem, to hellp you out.

Regards.

@CERO.

EDIT:Yes, sorry, you are allso implementing the drop comand on this, that will be good if you can work it out, I thought it couldn't create models, just particles.
