grishnakah Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Surely it has been requested before, and if not, why not? It'd be a great idea. Bows of various types, based on same/similar coding to spears. It would be usefull for melee players, since spears are hard to come across unless you kill heaps of Legionaires, and I don't know about you guys, but I haven't found anything else throwable ingame. It may take time to code, model, texture, and balance. Even if only a resource is made by one person, I could imagine other people making more types of bows and arrow types.Here's a Roman recurve bow that could be used by Caesar's Legion. http://www.recurvebowshop.com/pictures/traditional%20recurve%20bows/grozer%20roman%20bow/grozer%20roman%20recurve%20bow3.jpg By the way, this is less of a request, more of an idea.~Grishnakah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow0115 Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Yeah I was thinkin' it would be to hard to make bow animations because of oblivion but I'm not a MODDER hope people respond to this thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flaarg Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 I'm currently working on this for a WIP, as of now its just modeled, needs lots of work. I have a rendered pic's of the bow model, and the 2 arrow models. (again these are not textured, UV mapped, nif'd, or geck'ed in anyway) This will hopefully make it into the 2nd or 3rd version of the "Sunset Sarsaparilla's Wild West World" mod that is currently a WIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaladinRider Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 The setback is the animations. You'd need to completely re-animate it, as you cannot get it from oblivion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grishnakah Posted April 14, 2011 Author Share Posted April 14, 2011 This would be awesome if it happens. For the animation, it could be a seperate download and made similar to New Vegas Reanimated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spilcam Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 I just posted a topic about this too. Crossbows would be easier to do for animations, just the strings drawback and fire animation, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruadhan2300 Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 I would question whether or not a pro-modder could use the oblivion animations as a reference while making a new one from scratch...just copying it by eye I reckon its both possible and while perhaps not easy, certainly not astonishingly hard...if I had Oblivion, I'd have a go. ... actually, my friends have been bugging me to get it...I might even do it.

I wouldn't normally say this, but I'd suggest downloading it "legally" for "research purposes". Alternatively, you could buy it for $20 AUD (dunno the price elsewhere).

DrakenGuard Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 (edited) *AHEM* Bows and arrows hae infact already been created for Fallout 3 and Im sure that they can be used in NV. Saiden Storm has infacted created them for the Creature Conendrum thingy mod of his. Here is a video to demonstrate it and the Mod link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qMwradWw3Y **Whoops the mod does not exist anymore but I have a copy of it on my computer.
