works for 960/1.003

mmmmm.... shields.... i love shields....

something i'm doing while waiting for v.95x module source code.

anyhow, 415+ shields slapped together from internet sources. the only thing i did here was the skinning. took me about 25 hours.

some have been done before by others in the community. i prolly shoulda asked to scarf them, but i was having fun learning how to skin.

no pics yet. too busy. but there are some fine shields, particularly for sea raiders, swads, and steppes. if someone wants to post some in game screenies, have at it.

i'm developing a concept i call 'Unified Modding Resources', and in the future i'd like to develop and update compilations of mod brf's and skins for Shields, Weapons, Armors, and Horses - adding whoever submits to the project. i'd like to see 500+ items in each category for modders to use at will if they wish. we'll see.

fun for all. use in any mod, as you wish. no need to ask permission.  i'd like to stroke my ego by seeing it in the credits, but its up to you.

enjoy. maw

Great stuff, maw. I hope this items will be included in new release of M3:Sellsword.

many good ones, but some are very pixelated, is that on purpose to reduce memory use or file size?

prolly both. shrink to fit.

look, i am a content guy... and i can't stand each file being 2 meg, so i shrunk it. otherwise, i'd have a 50 meg file of graphics, which on most computers, takes a heckova time to load and as well as maintain in resident memory.

full graphics packs need to be developed for modders ease of use, in my unasked-for uninformed opinion.

perhaps, if someone is more interested, they can put together a 'hi-res' version.

just for you jaded graphics monkeys. maw

You're back you son of a bitch! Bring me some death!

Great idea about the modding resources. I'm looking forward to the golden age of modding when 1.00 is out and the resources are piling up. I'm downloading the pack now, thanks.

[Merlkir]

picturz pls!

[Vilhjalmr]

Eh, it wouldn't load in BRF edit. Probably because I have the new version and you don't.

[maw]

why, yes - its done in BRF v8.3 which works for m&b v903.

sorry, shoulda mentioned that up front.

i'm not bothering to convert to the newest brf until i see some kind of python source. just meh.

even so, you can import them into the newest brf, but you have to manually add the materials and texture addresses. seems there are extra fields in the newest m&b so you can't import the materials and textures directly.

[maw]

bump.

new shields.

over 415.

[Llew2]

Ohh, just saw this. Dling now. 

EDIT: Maybe you could put them into several BRFs. It takes ages to load. (Not even sure it would load, it was going really jerky)


I took a peek at the textures though, and they look really sweet. Will probably nab some for HYW, with your permission of course.

Great idea.  Seems a lot of promising mods fizzle out waiting for that flaky guy to do some models.

[maw]

i'v got some more, but i think i'm gonna wait till i've got at least another hundred (i'm at 34 more now).... plus, i think i'll take Llew's advice and brealk it up into round, battle, cavalry, and tear shields....

any of you fine modders have shields you want to submit for open source, pm me. maw

[Llew2]

Woah, interesting idea. I like it. 

[Corvus]

Very nice

only one problem - item limit in M&B of 950 items  that needs changing!
