NOTE: PATCH IS NOT SAVEGAME COMPATIBLE.

The patch improves every scene, making all towns fully siegeable and conquerable, plus adding to and re-arranging parts of the Abandoned Power Station.  Adds some dialogue, fixes some bugs.

ALSO MAKES CERTAIN LOW-LEVEL GUNS PURCHASABLE FROM MERCHANTS.

These revised siege scenes will also help with sieges:

SPADES!!!



Loads of new dialogue, most of it stupid, and lots more to come...















George Square





This is a skeleton playing a trumpet.  Because I can.



Strathclyde Police Headquarters.  Their motto is: "If You Can't Beat Them, Why Join The Polis?"

FEATURES:  Glasgow - a modern-day Scottish city to riot in.

All new scenes, mostly urban, and now with moving trains and vans.


Three Factions:

United Workies: - Incensed by increasing job cuts and wage reductions while cheap labour is imported from abroad, these
                         nutjobs have turned the tools of their former trades to a new purpose - attacking the State which has attacked their livelihoods, and protecting their own interests.
PREFERRED WEAPONS: Planks, nailguns, circular saw-blades, fireman's axes, and hammers of all shapes and sizes.

Strathclyde Police: - Worried by the upsurge of violent civil unrest in Glesga, these famously pacifistic guardians of the public
                             have responded to the needs of the people in the only way they know how - by breaking out the firearms and the heavy-duty riot gear.  And, of course, the horses.  But they're not ALL bad...  You might ocassionally see them fighting the illegal SPG Snatch Squads sent up by Special Branch in London.  Even cops have turf wars.
PREFERRED WEAPONS: While the lower ranks are confined to using clubs and cudgels, the firearms units have the best guns in the game - sniper rifles, pistols, and riot-shotguns.  The Riot Cops themselves are a formidable force, so heavily armoured that their attack can hit like a mounted charge.  And that's before the Mounted Cops turn up.

The Penny Mob: - In a highly unrealistic move, all the Glasgow gangs have amalgamated into one mega-gang, taking their name from the old 19th century mobs.  This is about as likely as an upswing in the economy, but who cares?  Though not as disciplined as the Polis, or as hardy as the Workies, The Mob have hidden strengths - they're ***** mental.
PREFERRED WEAPONS: Having no scruples about the damage they might do to their enemies, the Penny Mob favour machetes, two-handed axes, and heavy hammers.  Generally lacking in firearms, you might find the odd upcoming gangster wielding a modified flare gun or ... a broom.  But the higher ranks have access to weapons brought in from overseas - AK47s and Walthers.


The NEDS should be counted as a faction all of their own.  These irritating, pointlessly violent arseholes will hound you all across Glasgow so long as you're weak, and then run from you like little girls if you gather a half-decent mob.  Realism.


     
OTHER FEATURES:

New World Map, Random Battle Maps, Bridge Maps, And Many New Scenes.

A Ton of New Dialogue and Audio.

A Very Few Quests can be gotten from Bouncers in Pub Carparks, and from Nosey Gossiping Bastards in Towns. 

All New Towns and Castles Are Siegeable And Capturable with the Scene Objects below added (overwrite the old ones)

The First stage Of A Planned Storyline.


CREDITS

The majority of the guns were created by Geroj, who is an amazing modeller and texturer.

The majority of the music was created by Adorno, who has never been to Glasgow, but somehow knew the exact sounds I needed.

Many of the new models and textures in the upcoming release have been provided by PhantomOfTheOpera, who has made me some bizarre, funny and cool stuff.

JakCurse is hard at work on new cars and motorbikes, and has become a better modeller over the course of a week than I did over six months.  A lot better.

Ravenheild, the modelling Messiah, is also contributing a large number of quality building and objects models.

Fosty99 has made some nice new title and launch pictures, a big improvement on mine. 

I owe a debt of gratitude to HokieBT for his advice on codes and general modding -
 
to cdvader, who has shown me how to remove the unused towns for the next version and provided some new weapons models and
textures -

and to Herby for suggestions and help, and tips on new whiskies to try.


BUGS/ GLITCHES: - 

IF YOU SEE KLEPTO IN THE PUB, DO NOT TALK TO HER.  HER DIALOGUE IS DESIGNED FOR A SPECIFIC SCENE WHERE SHE WILL APPEAR.  BE PATIENT< AND YOU WILL EVENTUALLY GET TO RECRUIT HER>  THOUGH SHE IS A PRETTY SHIT FIGHTER>

Awesome screens. Downloading...

Lmfao 

[DannyT]

Lol awesome! loving the lacoste tracksuites, not got ne rockports like?

[Fall of Denial]

This is very original. THANK YOU!

Editted for quotes.

Hehehe.  I hope you were joking, otherwise you will hate every written word in this mod.  It's written in Scottish - lowland Doric, to be precise.  Which is pretty much English, only... not quite.

Hope you enjoy it either way.


@DannyT - Nae Rockport, mate, but there's Burberry caps, and Buckie as a morale booster.  Cannae go wrong there , eh?

[Munx]

well first off I spawned in  between 15 junkie groups wtf ? then i defeated them, but found out I couldnt move at all.

score: -

[Eumolpus]

Oh my God, Kenny's ******** hillarious.

This is the biggest fault with the whole game as it currently stands.  If you spawn on one of the housing tiles you need to restart until you get a "mobile" character.  I know it's a pisser, but I've kind of stopped work on this mod now.  If you restart you will eventually be free to roam the streets, kicking wee neds about the place until you can take on the Psychos and Hard Men (who have very nice suits).

[Flanged]

Oh my God, Kenny's ******** hillarious.

Hehehe.  Thank God somebody spawned in a place from which they could move! 

Do you know about Kenny from Consolevania, Eumoplus?  I tried to capture the true spirit of the guy, and I think I got pretty close to it.

I dont want to be a drug dealer, lets have Pimps/Whores.

I dont want to be a drug dealer, lets have Pimps/Whores.

Somebody suggested I should turn the cattle herds into "bitches" - with the sound effects and changed world-map icon - but it seemed a step too far.  Actually, to be honest, I couldn't figure out how to do it, or it probably would've been in there.

It wouldn't've fitted the setting, though, all things considered.  The lower Glasgow gangs don't run organised prostitution (they just have their women along to carry weapons for them, since they're less likely to get searched, and can object more strongly). 

They're all about the fighting.  Which is why Mount and Blade was THE game for a mod like this.

You don't have to be a drug dealer, though.  It's a loser's game even in the game - a bag of smack is cheaper than a bottle of buckie, so you're better off trading in booze.  You can also be a kind of vigilante gangster - building a team just to kick hell out of other gangs, and trade in weapons.  Or just rob farmers.  It's up to you.

[Palos]

Now here's something original. Flanged, do you intend to include something like the Glasgow grin in the next version?

Now here's something original. Flanged, do you intend to include something like the Glasgow grin in the next version? 

Hehe.  Well, my texturing's pretty bad, but for realism's sake I don't see why the hero (after a certain number of chibbings in combat) shouldn't be able to "smile twice".   

My eventual aim is to make a REAL Glasgow Gang mod - about the old army-sized crews - The Penny Boys, Norman Conks, Tongs, Cumbie, etc.

But modern day seemed funnier and easier for a wee mod - and the Consolevania TEAM fitted better in a modern setting.  It should really have guns in it nowadays, sadly.  But it was too depressing to implement.

If I re-start work on it, though, factions like Paul Ferris' crowd and the remnants of the Thompson family will be in there, for sure.

The main thing it needs right now is more visitable locations.     

[Flanged]

By the way, what is everyone doing in here on Hogmanay/ New Year's Eve/ New Years' Day?  I've got a good excuse for being on the internet.  But you lot should be either out drinking or in your beds, surely?     I don't mean to be an arse - I was amazed and delighted to get any replies at all to this thread  tonight/today - but how come you're not all out partying?
