You're the boss, i only give suggestion.
General Luigi Palma di Cesnola will stay italian. 

I'd like to help you for the random lords spawning but it's outside my competence.
I've started to list what i can correct. If you agree, I will start to standardizing the description of items (mostly clothes, hats, hats with hair, etc, ..) and the nomaclature  of lord's names.
I've found some few mistakes also ("Ankle Boots" should be "Shoes and Puttees", "Felt Hat Brimfold beige" -> "Felt Hat Brim Folded Beige" ......)
It's not big deal so you can concentrate yourself on the scripts and most important things.
It could be of this form: Faction Rank Item Color
For exemple : Brown Waistcoat -> Waistcoat Brown
Brown Fur Coat -> Fur Coat Brown
CW Csa Officerholster Unif -> Csa Officer Uniform with Holster (by the way, is CW have a purpose or a meaning ?)
Black Sailor Cap -> Sailor Cap Black
Etc, ...
If you don't have added some new items since 0.99M, i could work directly on Item_Kinds1.txt and troops.txt files
If you are ok, tell me what i should not modify and i'll start to work on it.

Waste of energy 

It's quite simple, if you like this mod, lend a hand whatever your contribution. If not, go your way.
Everything else is childishness ....

I'm in, let me some time. You won't be disappointed. 

Edit by Gabby:
Never was even before! 

There's a lot to fix IMHO before 1.0. Nothing crucial but annoying.
Like i said, devil is the detail and there is a lot to fix.
I propose to correct step by step.

So far my list concern speeling, AP for items, Weapons, troops tree, inventory in the shops ....

Let's choose the first step (in fact i choose by myself  ).

Some things are really easy to fix like minor misspelled names. My first proposal is to define the proper classification for all the factions.
Good name, ranks, spelling.

I've looked troops.txt
American_Settlers seems quite good as far i saw
"knights" are civilian, nothing particular.
But they need ranks, why not deputy, senator, attorney general, mayor or sheriff ?

US needs more works some names are misspelled and they have military ranks.
My proposal:
Troop ID                    Single                                                                    Plurial
trp_knight_2_1          Major_General_Ulysses_S._Grant                        Ulysses_S._Grant
trp_knight_2_2          Major_General_George_B._McClellan                    George_B._McClellan
trp_knight_2_3          Major_General_George_G._Meade                        George_G._Meade
trp_knight_2_4          Major_General_Phil_Sheridan                                Phil_Sheridan
trp_knight_2_5          Major_General_William_T._Sherman                      William_T._Sherman
trp_knight_2_6          General_Luigi_Palma_di_Cesnola                          Luigi_Palma_di_Cesnola (the name speak by himself, no need to mention Italian)
trp_knight_2_7          Brigadier_General_George_A._Custer                  George_A._Custer
trp_knight_2_8          Major_General_Don_Carlos_Buell                        Don_Carlos_Buell
trp_knight_2_9          Major_General_John_Buford                                John_Buford
trp_knight_2_10        Major_General_Ambrose_E._Burnside                  Ambrose_E._Burnside
trp_knight_2_11        Brigadier_General_Joshua_L._Chamberlin            Joshua_L._Chamberlin
trp_knight_2_12        Major_General_George_Crook                              George_Crook
trp_knight_2_13        General_Charles_Lawrence                                  Charles_Lawrence
trp_knight_2_14        Major_General_Henry_W._Halleck                        Henry_W._Halleck
trp_knight_2_15        Brigadier_General_Winfield_S._Hancock              Winfield_S._Hancock
trp_knight_2_16        Brigadier_General_Joseph_Hooker                      Joseph_Hooker
trp_knight_2_17        Brigadier_General_Phillip_Kearny_Jr                    Phillip_Kearny_Jr
trp_knight_2_18        Brigadier_General_John_Pope                              John_Pope
trp_knight_2_19        Brigadier_General_William_S._Rosecrans            William_S._Rosecrans
trp_knight_2_20        Brigadier_General_Henry_H._Sibley                      Henry_H._Sibley

Do you endorse this ? 

Next to come the nation Indian
Which name, tribe and spelling for which indian "knights" ? (21 knights in this faction)
Do  their tribes really need to be mentioned ?

Ranks proposal: Shaman, chief, great chief, sachem

To remember
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Native_American_leaders_of_the_Indian_Wars

Nation Sioux
Tribes LAKOTA -> 7 bands
Oglala
Sicangu
Hunkpapa
Miniconjous
Sihasapa or Blackfee
Itazipacola
Tribes Dakota or Santee -> 4 Bands:
Mdeakantonwon:
Wahpeton
Wahpekute
Sisseton
Tribes Nakota  or Yankton -> 3 Bands
Yankton
Upper Yankton
Lower Yankton

JOE remembered what I said time ago ! 
And is exactly that!
But I did not apply to all outfits.

Some outfits have higher values due to the TOUGH troops that they belong to, or COOL characters that wear them.
For example, black Gloves are usually for cooler and best troops, so they have a higher stats.
Once again, it is the general "feel" of the mod that u need to catch and eventually point at, even negatively.
Like when I could bury myself for forgetting to remove those Special Ammos (meant as a CHEAT for Player and Npcs, maybe) that made Csa super snipers!

Spoiler

Anyway, U r right on some things that need a change and u r a great "issues" Hunter. 
So please, make a list and edit it,  in the Brainstorming Topic.... and lets all debate on it!
GAb
PS ....Hunkpapa is one of the many tribes that made the Sioux Nation. Lakota is a bigger sub-class. etc etc...
So that is not wrong but maybe too...long?!
We can talk about it and many things that are not clear for some ppl 

Click to expand...

To be honest I don't know what are the mechanicals of this game.
Now i can understand your choices even if it sounds strange to me.

I suppose you have good reasons to do this but IMHO why don't you add more life for skilled troops ?
It would have done the same thing no ? 
Anyway, it doesn't really matter.  I'll take more time to give my point of view in "brainstorming" point by point later in the week. Or sooner if find the time.

The devil is in the detail. And details are a part of my job (i'm a computer specialist). 
This explain it .... When I do something that is very hierarchized, for example,i would not let only 3 or 4 indian lords with their tribes in their names (the famous Hunkpapa).
It would have been all or none, i work sequentially. When i found them, i thought, it was a mistake or something like that. 
I misunderstood your way of work. And i forgot it's only a beta for testing.

Captured Joe said:

A 'slough hat' is a type of hat; the name can be shortened to 'slough'. I think it is referring to this type of hat here.

I'm not sure, but it's possible Gab gave the legs more protection so that hits on the body are even more deadlier, illustrating the effect of firearms...

Click to expand...

Yes, the correct spelling seems to be slouch hat not only slouch. It confuse me when i try to translate the word slough 
For the legs, i don't know. Too many things seems to be randomized for me.
Some gloves give 10 AP to the body, some suits nothing, shirts give a few AP, some Hats give 8 AP some other less, etc, ....
I not sure there is a logic behind this for the moment.
We should define a scale to give AP to the clothing.

Hum, there is many misspelled items to fix in 0.99M.
It stings my eyes when i see them.

I've tried to some changes with Morghs M&B WB-WFAS Editor, it's realy easy.
If you agree, i'll fix the description of this items but we need to consult us on the names and the proper words to used

What do you mean by "slouch"  battered ? ragged ?, used ?, worn  ?

How can we named the uniforms ?
For exemple "Csa nco 1sgt  Unif" Shoult it be "Csa Nco 1 sergeant uniform" ?
Or "CW Csa Inf Vet Unif" -> "Csa Infantery Uniform" ?
Names should be uniformized, there are too many different names used IMHO

And i don't even speak for some items AP who are illogical. Many gives more protection for legs than body.

There is a lot to do only to fix this.

Edit, I'm on holidays today, i've just fixed troops.txt. I couldn't wait for an answer ....

Read some of El Camerone Battle story and Foreign Legion stuff...is really intriguing! 

Click to expand...

Aaah Camerone,
One of our most brilliant defeat.
We, French, can celebrate indistinctly our victory or our defeat. 
I prefer to play with Confederate faction against USA however i'll have a try.

If I had more time i could translate some french website about this battle. 
I try to play a bit with 1860's to find bugs but i've also a real life. You know what i mean Gabb 

It's not very constructive but you did a real great work for sceneries in this game.
I don't have many time the past week to play a little bit but i took one or two hours to explore the map only to discover new places (my first game was only with confederate faction, i was stuck in the middle of the map).
And i was very surprised to see how they were different. Except the forts and a few towns or big cities each villages had his own personality.
I've just discovered all the french border 2 days ago, i must say i fall in love with it.
Villages are raw and wild, the feeling is very well made. Even more than in the indian wild plains.

Great news Gabb 
Thx all for the job

I'm switching to 0.99M ASAP. 
Playing with Confederate best shooters has ruined my game. I'll start a new one in french territories.
I didn't really explore this part of the map but the few i saw is beautifull.
I'm really curious to see the modifications added.

Thx Gabb

Hum, Yes, we recognize a real man in his own way to die with dignity. 
I can say, i watch the death right in his eyes this time. Fortunately, i've got 9 lives like cats.
So i can ride my horse a little more (and find the owner of this bullet to send it back).

Two more.
Not so exciting than a furious battle but a lot of works were done for the villages, cities, landscapes and musics !
I love guns, uniformes, troops, items and lots of other details but i much appreciate this too 
It's my tribute to those who made scenery for this mod.

First test for a V0.99G 1860 video.

So be indulgent, it's a raw video while playing.
Tactically it was a suicide. But it was for testing purpose.

EDIT by Gabby:
THX Mate...VIDS are what I apreciate the most!!!!!!!! 

Actually really good for many reasons:

-U showed a different part of the main Battle Map, that has that rocky part in the middle....good tactical move putting ur men up there.!
-U removed ALL troops indicators !!!
-U showed to be a good shooter...and an acrobat...falling and rolling away from ur dead poor horses.... hehehe...
-U ...died with honor and...with a great bloody hit! 

I personally adore to fight on that Scene with few Riders Mates...have them follow me...and then riding all around that rocky hill, the ruined fort, the wood and the river when it spawns, sometimes...enemies will chase us all...and we shoot them really tough!
At the end most of them loose their horses and so we take cover somewhere and then ...fight for life! 

Thx Harlef
There were many to fix ....
By the way, i've updated my bugs list....

Sorry if it was already asked somewhere else but did you think to merge the mod Freelancer with 1860's in a future ?
http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php/board,232.0.html

Playing  to be a simple cannon fodder soldier could be very cool.
I've already played this mod included in various other mods (great mod like Floris for example) and it's a good way to play differently.

Edit: oups already asked and answered, sorry 

thx Gabby 

I really love this mod, it's my pleasure to share some pictures.
Some others..

Sometime  battles are very confused.
Beautiful landscape
Surprised ? I'm still alive.  Call me bulletproof Cotton 
Shooting for dummies
If your rabid dog try to bite my horse once,  i shoot .....
Night of werewolf ? 
Never turn your back to your enemies

Some pictures from 0.99G 

Uh ? why should i take a machine gun ? 
Nice starry night, i don't need a roof.

Places

Wrong AP (Amor Point)

Thanks my generous italian friend 
I'll do my best regarding the time i could take for this.
There are many things i'd like to give my opinion about this mod, mostly some details in fact.
If it can help or gives new directions....

what a pity i've learned spanish instead italian at school.
We are condemned to speak english each other. 

Hi Bluebarry

I didn't take much time to read all the messages above.

The good point is we found them, let's found the others 

Hi,

Just a few word to say i love this mod (in 0.99G, 0.98 was a bit ... strange for me).
I m a old fan of 1866: Western Mod and i was very exited when the Gabrilduro start it's work for 1860's old America mod.
I must admit i was a bit frustrated when i tried the firt beta. IMHO, the first releases were far from my beloved mod.

Here come 0.99G. 
What can i say if it's: wonderful, brilliant, fantastic, awesome !

And last but not least vey stable. Il only found a few bugs so far.

Great job Gabri !

I know there is a pinned post for serious tester. I'm not a serious tester but i can
lend a hand time to time. 

Bugs unnoticed i found so far :

Wrong hats assignation for
CSA best shooter
and US settlers camp follower

Wrong flag for  CSA Handerson

Wrong value for a hat

I have found some others but i can't precisely tell them (2 scripts, some textures, an other wrong flag, some items wrong values)
i'll take screenshots, it's a good memory helper
