MODDING THREAD

[Jack Greedy]

Hello anybody have any idea how to change/mod little things in this wonderful hunting game.



Modding in new firearms models or ammunition like in DH2005 will be nice too but require more work.

If anybody discover anything please post here, i will look inside too (for now i can't see any editable txt files, or easy managable libraries).

ALREADY FOUND WAYS TO MOD THIS GAME:

Thanks to our hunting buddy Unsprung we have links to great tools to open .CRS files of the Pro Hunts :

QuickBMS (not the newest version, it doesn't work in this case): http://aluigi.altervista.org/quickbms.htm

Script: http://forum.xentax.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=10643 (with example of previous big game hunter)

Here is another topic about Big Game Hunter (other realease) files, which may help:

@unsprung
Is there any chance you're modding a realistic game mode?

I would love to see the game without the hunting helpers, like sound bubbles, the glowing trails and hints and the claim your trophy message.

Also i think a clean map would be great.

Does anyone else get the feeling that you almost always spawn right next to the animal you're hunting for?

[Rambovic]

Yes...

Yes, except for the bear. I just tried black bear for the first time, and I spent the 3 hour (ingame) time carefully going between a couple of spots the map said was active at the time, and I ended up running out of time.
I ended up bagging a buck just to make sure I didn't go home empty handed.

Someone please make better textures for this game. That's all I want.

[Mr. Poopybutthole]

What files would I need to edit to get rid of the bullet time/Xray thing?

[quagmire123]

this game would be great if you could mod in some animal behavior changes and less animals, and get rid of the bionic hearing / circles. Please mod this game!

[Clavicus]

I hope some talented modder out there creates a hunt for a sasquatch! i know that its considered a mythical creature, but all the same i'd still like to hunt one.

[Joe_Utah8]

A bigfoot would be fun :)

[MollyTheLag]

i want a poacher mode, spray down deer with an aa12

[glass]

So has anyone had any luck with successfully modding this game yet.
I'd love just for the sound bubbles and glowing blood/tracks to be turned off.
I imagine this would require so little to do, but I wouldn't know where to begin.

If any of the developers still check this forum, it would really make this title an all-time great hunting sim. I'd really appreciate it if one of you could help out.

yea, I think the hoof sounds need to go too, never heard a deer sound like a horse before?

the rabbit sounds would be more accurate -imo-

hope someone figures out how to mod this game, it has alot of potential just needs some tweaking here and there

[PAWANG BURUNG GANAS]

mate.. please help me.. how to get rid of the shadows (tree shadow etc)
my FPS is running low.. i hope with no shadows can increase my FPS

[N1ght0wl]

I'm looking for some simple mods to make the game more immersive.

- Remove Sound Waves when animals make sounds.

- Remove the (Claim Your Trophy) notification that pops up when the animal you shot has finally died, because it ruins the experience. I prefer the intense situation of tracking a potentially dangerous wounded bear that could attack at any moment. The notification ruins it.

- Remove the death sound. I usually stick a strip of tape on my TV where the (Claim Your Trophy) notification pops up, just so i wont know if the animal I shot had died until I track it down, but the animals all make a loud sound when they finally die. Ruins it.

- Remove the bullet ballistics cutscene. I'd prefer not knowing if I hit a vital organ until I claim the trophy.

These mods I'm requesting are basic removal of hud elements and sound clips to make the game more realistic. I'd even be fine with removing the HUD all together. If anyone has any luck with any of these, I'd appreciate a little help.

Change the difficulty setting from casual to authentic, it removes a few of the arcady elements. Also shut the music volume off so you never know when your in danger from things like a bear or moose charge. Mute the voice volume too, so you don't get told when the animals are spooked or the wind has changed. It's more realistic when the guy isn't holding your hand through the hunt.

And the clean map? just open up your map, then open up the legends and disable all of them. This will remove all feeding grounds, drinking and bedding areas from the map.
