Hey everyone!
5-6 years ago I had a ambitious mod idea. Bring the Finnish WW2 front into the Warband engine, packed with new never seen features, models, sounds music, you name it. Engine had it limitations, and bringing a full blown WW2 shooter to a medieval combat simulator wasn't really a walk in a park. Nevertheless, I went head on into the storm. The road with this mod was bumpy, team members coming and going, bits and pieces from everyone. Biggest problem this mod ever faced was in fact, coding. V0.8 packed a lot of a great new features, which at the time of its development, were never seen before in Warband. V0.8 was the biggest milestone this mod had yet. It was such a big step up from the previous version and was highly anticipated. As team members were coming and going, sometime during its development, coding side was halted and could not be continued as there wasn't anyone to fil in the spot. As years went by, so did Warband, which got numerous updates, which made fixing/finish up the codes and porting even more harder. Development of the mod continued still without a coder, but sometime 1-2 years later, it more or less stopped.
This is something I've been brewing in mind for ages and today, after more than 5 years, I finally took up the task of releasing the mod as OSP. For the past years, I've been giving the resources of the mod to those who have been ambitious and brave enough to ask. Today, I want to give back to the modding community what it has given for me. I hope that it will be useful and provide inspiration for new and veteran modders alike. Most of the codes are most likely unusable without bit of tweaking in the newest version of Warband, but should provide good backbone/inspiration/learning point for anyone. Idea of getting Finland at WW2 ported over for the newest version is interesting, but right now, I'm not sure, will or will I not be doing it in any foreseeable feature, thus it's better this way to give someone a chance who is interested and willing.
