OSP: The Open Source Project

[Llew2]

                                           OSP: The Open Source Project.

The Open Source Project is a collaboration of models for Mount&Blade mod makers, free for all to use, and is contributed to by anyone who wishes. Succinctly put, it is a pot. The idea was come up with by Maw. Kudos to the man.


What this is NOT.

This is NOT a mod. This is a modders resource, and it requires some skill at modding to be able to put these items ingame.

Currently however, some packs are more noob friendly than others, and require only minimal modding savvyness, while others require a more indepth knowledge of modding, such as use of the official Module System.


Down to business. As of now, we have several OSP packs, done by different people and done in slightly different ways.
Below are links to the Repository download, and the specific project's Forum thread, and the pack author's name.


Give Credit where Credit is due. All items in OSP packs are free for anyone to use without permission, as long as credit is given to the original creator of the item! Different methods of identifying an item's creator are used in different OSP packs. Please refer to the specific threads. Note: The people who put the packs together are not necessarily the people who made the items.


Also, please report any bugs in the individual OSP threads, not this one. All this is for is arranging the packs in an easy to find manner.

These are the following packs in circulation:

Many Kudos to the people who put these packs together; this is what a modding community is about, folks!

A targeted/compatible version number would definitely help.

[Cloud Breaker]

They are compatible with any version.

[Taal]

There an assortment of models and textures, there not version specific, or for that matter game specific.

To use them, download it, stick it in your mod, and give credit.

[Cloud Breaker]

May you add shaders and alpha channels to the materials in the OSP? I've done it manually for myself, but I think other modders would like it better if they didn't have to do the tedious job themselves. 

I'm using iron_shader_skin with specular 300 R400 G400 B400 for armor materials. I haven't done it to the rest yet.

[pentagathus]

The texture weapons_james2.dds is missing from the weapons files. And it's needed for that sexy falchion.

[yomanjenkins]

Well ok, everything seems fine but....

The weapons have textures, yet when i look at the textures, they are all the same, and all it shows me is some kind of picture with a house and a tree!!!!! this is with all the textures to all the weapons.
so all the weapons look completely retarded. how do i fix this?

[Teala]

Where is weapon_james2.dds at?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Anyone please?

[Teala]

Hey~!  The Firearms OSP is messed up.   They are not oriented right.   Put them in my game and they are all screwed up.   Can whom ever created them fix them and orient them correctly?  Please.

[Cloud Breaker]

Rotate the model 270 degrees along the x-axis.

[Teala]

Rotate the model 270 degrees along the x-axis.

OK.  How do we do that?  In Wings  3D?  Someone explain please...this is driving me crazy.

Read.

You don't need Wing 3D. You only need brfedit.

[Teala]

Figured it out.   

Now I have another question.

OK...you know the scimitar in game and other swords, some have scabbards, and when you draw the sword the scabbard is still visible.   I know how to edit the the items_kinds1 and make my scabbard for one of my swords to show up on my character, however, when I have the sword in the scabbard it doesn't show up.  Why?  The scabbard stays visible the whole time, whether the sword is drawn or sheathed - just the sword is missing when sheathed.

I noticed that the scabbard for the native scimitar is just a model with the shape of the scimitar handle coming out the end(at least that is what I can gather when I look at the scim_scab in wings3d).   How does the sword handle dissappear from the scabbard if the scab model is one with the sword handle, or is the sword handle and scabbard two seperate models?

Help!

Someone explain this to me please.

[Bismarck]

I am using some of the weapons for my own mod and all of them seem to be okay.
Maybe I will redo the mod with some new stuff and in one brf-archive which will destroy the conflict when different items need the same materials and textures.

[Teala]

Wow...this takes a lot of time to mod a game so that it is just right.   If modding a game is this time consuming with all we all ready have to use to mod it...imagine what it was like for the guys/gals that created this game from scratch.   I do love the game though.  Best game I have ever played.  ::huge grin::
