dh2005 mods Thread

hey all hope im in the right place
i like alot of people am a huge fan of deer hunter 2005 but unlike deer hunter 2004 noone has made new mods for 2005
and well i have been seaching the net long and hard for a long time now looking for someone with the tallent to mod a new patch for the game a mod that will add new weapons and deer species and so on

please if theres anyone out there with these skills please reply

i also have a web site devoted to the game its
www.rockymountainhuntinglodge.com

i did not know that games like that could be modded
i would like to see where you get the ideas from

well deer hunter 2004 had a 1.3 patch made for it witch gave it new weapons and more rare deer and that was made by a guy called vanish and noone can find vanish i guess hes lived up to his name. anyway was just wondering if anyones up to it .theses thousands of people hanging for some new dh2005 mods . u see atari isnt makeing a deer hunter 2006 witch means there all still playing the 2005 and need something new to keep the intrest in the game they all love

Hmm, did it have a SDK?

not sure man .

it had a few data files with a new exe file

as u can see here

You'll need the game's source code (the original C++ files) if you want to code new weapons and make other changes to the game. The compiled data files won't help you, unfortunately (as they can't be decompiled).

Since there's a separate folder marked "weapons", am I correct in assuming the weapon models and skins are stored there? If so, you should be able to modify them, but I doubt you will be able to do much else.

no thats just the scope reticles on the new weapons that are stored in that folder

so does that mean deer hunter 2005 cant be modded

I'm not 100% certain, I've never seen the file setup for DH. But if you can't find the SDK, then I'm pretty sure you won't be able to mod it.

If anyone knows something about DH modding, please correct me.

No, I'm guessing that probably contains all the maps, models and sounds. The SDK should include the original source code (this will not have shipped with the game). You will have to find it on the net somewhere. Try "deer hunter 2005 sdk" in Google. While your at it, look around and see if you can find any modding tools for it as well. (I.e. "deer hunter 2005 modding tools")

i searched google and this is what i found:

Ftp.atari.com > DH2005 Map Editor (32.8 MB)
Ftp.infogrames.net > 1.2 Patch (6MB)(i guess you need this to)
Ataricommunity.com > Usefull thread about modding/hacking DH2005

Thats all i found, hope it helps

BTW: first forum post ever , i ave joined a year ago *grins*

think ive found the sdk
ok go to Southlogic.com
now look at the verry bottom of the page
see Physics
Tokamak Physics SDK
i think thats it i just downloaded it
is that what u need

tokamak is for physics only, it isent a game engine.
You know ragdolls and stuff like that...that is a physics engine

Raver's right. You can still use that map editor though. You might also want to join that Atari forum. They might have the answers your looking for.

ok thanks for all your help :-)
will do

omg its dark raver *waves*

dhcant be modded i tried
not much mapping support either as i can reacall some realky funky formats
