Official Poll Thread Current topic: Possible 3.6 Addition

[Treebeard]

Keep the 4.0 stuff in 4.0.

The graphics updates in PoP 3.5 are not imported from PoP4. They are perhaps going to be used by PoP4 too, but they were designed/chosen for PoP3.5.
We have about 75MB of new textures in the update so far (and it will increase to about 100MB I think).
On the good side we have converted all sounds to .flac format thanks to Nullpat and therefore we are below the dreadful 2GB RAM limit that will cause Warband to crash. Currently it is at a little over 1.6GB when using 100% texture details and having the "Use textures on demand" setting at false.

The .flac sounds have higher quality than the 3.42 wav files as well. If no sounds are heard, then the player needs to get the .flac codecs though. These can be found here for example:

So, yeah, there is already new graphics and there will be some more before the update is released.

Imo it would better if we will see items from 4.0 in PoP 4.0, not previous versions. The spell will be broken, if we see some of the work of PoP 4.0, instead of all in the official version.

[Treebeard]

You have nothing to worry about. No items have been used from PoP4. If PoP4 would like to use any of the new graphics in PoP3.5 (or any other graphics in PoP3), then PoP4 will be free to do so. PoP4 comes with its own excellent graphics so, I doubt it will borrow anything from PoP3.

I see.
I take back what I said, then.
Here's to seeing PoP 4.0 stuff in 3.42!

I'm new to this thread

The upcoming 3.x update (ETA within a month) will include (at least) 19 new items (all with new graphics and assigned to troops to improve their looks). There might be a small preview of this soon.

very excited. is that going to be save compatible?

[Rojen]

Pretty sure anything that adds new items in not save compatible

[Luna Vulpe]

ill be putting off that update then lol

[Pibblesworth]

I'm all for a graphical update for items. Perhaps as an optional pack for the people worried about performance.

[Dorrin]

To me the things like the Meletine Lancers we got a while back add to the hunger for the future mod, and will not spoil it at all. With those guys they are mercs, so out for coin. I just imagine their king or lord didn't want to pay them enough so they hopped on a ship.

If the question is about implementing items from 4.0 into the current version but not on units as mercs i'd be left wondering where the stuff came from and why its in Pendor. Then just selling to a vendor (or not looting if it were a drop) as since its not native to Pendor it has no place in my game.

NEW POLL! Feedback is nicely appreciated.

I'd vote for equipping the new helm on 100% of the Immortals if that's up for debate! Does the new armour you found come with the kilt thing attached or is that a leg slot? I'd go with the new armour if it's just the breastplate, but if the kilt is attached I'd vote for sticking with the old armour, otherwise it looks like too much of a deviation from the original artistic direction.

[Dorrin]

That was a pretty hard one to make my mind up on, the current armor looks great, and so does the new one. In the end i went with the new, It's as awesome looking as the Immortals are once they get hold of someone to kill.

[Treebeard]

There could also be the option to mix the armors so some have the current one and some have the new one. The new gold helmet with black plume (RgCotl OSP) helmet will be 100% standard gear for the Immortals though.

[Pibblesworth]

Default looks more Empire-like. To be honest, the gold chest piece looks a bit goofy.
