HELP NEEDED

Contributors of course get access to alphas..

First release plan: Todo list

Renaming lords to be Generals and Officers, research into names and appearance of important figures on all sides would be most welcome, as would things like facecodes for said people.
Civillian and guerilla costumes. Research there would be good.
Possible extra weapons for guerilla forces. If not, they can use British stuff for now with some native weaponry and a few new swords, and introduce a few weapons of their own later. Research there would be good, as would ideas for their troop tree. Amman had some good ones earlier.
Same goes for horses for the guerilla. Although I may be able to modify existing ones. Research there would be good.
LODs for almost everything.
Various sorting out in the basic code. Getting the troops exactly right, possible new particle effect for guns, renaming and re-equipping lords etc to remove as much medivalness from the first release, though it'll still feel fairly medieval..
A placeholder recruitment system
GKH multiple formations implemented
Highlander Artillery implemented.
Map
Amman's starting scripts
Minor balancing stuff
Translating some things into French.

Thats the current plan.. I'll think about it some more when I'm not so bogged down with work.

THINGS WE WILL NEED!

-Scene making

-Scene props:

I've rigged the line one several times, I keep going back and fiddling though

I can rig them pretty fast these days.

Dude! Those uniforms are superb!
Did you really model the straps as separate or does it just look that way? I can already tell this will be one of my favorite mods!

Also, it's nice to see something that looks like it's going to be a troop upgrade system based on ranks. Always wanted to see that.

waraelm · « **Reply #5 on:** August 07, 2008, 08:54:22 pm »

can you make a shapre character.

ragni · « **Reply #6 on:** August 07, 2008, 08:55:22 pm »

Woohoo, just the mod I was looking forward to! Let me know if you need a beta tester as I do not know any coding, I can sure repeat bugs!

So yes, I'm hoping I can attract a few other modders to this cause... didn't you say you were in a Napoleonic mood at one point Highlander?

I was and I still am. Unfortunately I underestimated the number of models needed. I'm happy that you started this mod.
If there is any small-medium constribution, I could do, tell me. Since my models won't reach the quality of yours, I can screw that.
I'm just not up for being the main scripter, that's too much for me right now.
Mirathei made a artillery script recently. Have you checked it out? I haven't. If it works well, you could use it, otherwise I would volunteer to make a large-scale artillery thing for you.
Edit: I just made a pretty good, complex and realistic physics system for a baseball mod (

), which could easily be used as a base for that.

epic, you have my mental support

armyguy31b · « **Reply #9 on:** August 07, 2008, 09:32:05 pm »

My support as well. Good luck

Best Brandy to ya Sir!

Adorno · « **Reply #10 on:** August 07, 2008, 09:56:26 pm »

A Napoleonic mod was one of the first I looked for back in the day

It's a great idea and I'll be looking forward to this.

Good luck.

Perhaps now it's time to rename the thread!

Dorie · « **Reply #11 on:** August 07, 2008, 10:05:12 pm »

Souns awesome. mods that envolve the colonial age,napoleonic age etc.. intrest me very much

Buxton · « **Reply #12 on:** August 07, 2008, 10:08:48 pm »

As with wild west, I'm interested too - I can help you out with sounds and a few models that can be used with 1866 too if you'd like. Great uniforms though.

Commissar · « **Reply #13 on:** August 07, 2008, 11:41:24 pm »

you've got to do a uniform mapping/texturing tutorial sometime

grailknighthero · « **Reply #14 on:** August 08, 2008, 09:35:55 am »

Well, if I can stay away from CoD4 and get back to coding, you can definitely have the formation scripts when I finish. I am thinking about posting the work I have already in a thread in the forge, so serious modders can look at my ideas and make suggestions, or make their own multiple formation scripts since I am going way too slow and it will be winter by the time it is finished at the pace I am going now. I would do this basically just so my ideas would get out their and better coders can use my ideas to make a better system if they so choose (I am still going to work on my version though).
