OK, here it goes.  My first mace creation in over a year.  It was a quick and dirty mace that dates from the 1200's via Italy.  I used the color plate from Angus Mcbride as the source for it.  It is in the Osprey book 'German Armies 1100-1300'.

Here is Angus' drawing:




I took some historic license and rendered it in Iron versus the obvious Bronze interpretation in the plate.  I have yet to find a bronze texture that does weapons justice.





Hope you enjoyed it..

The worst part about losing the data is not just the maces (most of which were complete reworks or completely new) but the Helms, shields and such that i had not even posted of pics for

After the crash i had not messed with anythinig 3D until recently..

Has any of the data or edit methods changed since 1.0 released?

It's good to see a familiar face, Gluck. I know a lot of people appreciated the original mace pack. How have you been?

Well Hello Septa,

Sorry i didnt get a notification of your post so it has set there for 5(!) months without reply, ouch.

All is very busy and it appears all my data was lost .

However, in looking at this thread none of these should be too difficult to replicate.

How have you been?

M.Minkov 说:

May I ask what happened with this amazing project? Is it dead?

点击展开...

Well Minkov,  It was dead for almost a year until about 2 weeks ago.  I had a Hard Drive crash and i have backed up all the data to a CD and am still trying to retrieve it.

Gluck

I hope to get it retrieved soon and update the pack.  It is way beyond what was done originally.  Thanks for asking!

Gluck has returned after almost a year or so (I think) post Hard Driver Crash ... and yes you are more than welcome to use my Maces Pack (if you have not already).. I am searching for the CD that has my Never Released Mace Pack Ver 2.0 If i come up with it you are more than welcome to use it as well....

Good Luck with the Mod!

Gluck

This is great news, maybe now more people will play it. The article also says that the final release date is Q2 2008.

That would be the months of April, May and June 2008. I.E. Very soon...

Gluck, considering you have only been modelling just over a month, all I can say is .......WOW!

点击展开...

Gilrain,

Thanks for the nice words, i appreciate it!  Its nice to be able to model and create some of the models of Weapons and stuff i have always wanted in a game.  Stand by for some more cool stuff in the future.

Gluck

OK, OK i know its not a mace (although i have made a new one..show later)...I decided to create a shield and (SHOCK!) even attempt to texture it...So here is one of my favorites, its a Turkish Infantryman Trapezoid shield and the reference photo.  Just for questions sake i did not rip the texture on the reference.  If you notice it has 4 'vanes' on the tail of the arrow and mine has two.  The bad news is that both the crescent and the Arrow are in Photoshop as 'shapes' (grin).  I hope you like it.  I have not added the 'rivet' so to speak on the metal edging yet and its very early but its a fun one.  Its also very LOW poly count, currently around a 100 and its also rounded like the reference (at least as much as my skill can achieve).  I will release this with Maces 2.0...





Enjoy,

Gluck

Septa Scarabae 说:

That bright wood texture and mace head look nice. It looks a little weird with the dark mace head, though. Good models as always.

点击展开...

Thanks Septa...its nice to see you pop in again!

Gluck

OK, another update.  Firstly, you have to understand that i have only been 3D modeling for around a month or so.  Due to this i have slowly increased my skills (VERY slowly).  As a result i have decided to eliminate some models and add some new ones.  Here are some of the new models and what they will replace.

Here is a 'Timurid Mace'.  I am not sure the century but could generally be part of the what is collectively known as the "Age of Tamerlane".  I will include links later to a replica that i based this on.  I Have also used a dark and light Metal texture.  This will replace the recent "Moorish" mace that for me does not live up to the standard i want to achieve.  I have a new source coming in on the Moors so when i have better info i will most likely redo that one as well.









Next up is a complete overhaul of the Turkish 'Cucumber' Mace.  I have gone back and better matched up the original.  I think it does this class of mace more justice...see what you think.  Once again dark and light textures.








Compared to the actual historical mace head here:




As always i hope you enjoy them.  You will notice a new wood texture that i will be using to replace the old one in Ver 1.0.  In fact all original maces will be re-textured as well (i am about 50% done on that).

I will most likely release a Ver 2.0 update soon (i know, i know, i have been saying that but i mean it!) and then i will be adding some of the Helmets and shields i have been working on to make a bigger mod pack.

Gluck

I apologize for locking this thread but i had a long day in bad weather at work and i was worried it was getting off the point.  I appreciate the advice on texturing, i really do, however when you have a family and career you have to make some choices.  In this case i choose to spend time adding Items and such and to leave the quality texturing to individuals who are talented in that area.

I have now unlocked it.

Thanks again,

Gluck

Stefano 说:

Hey, Gluck.

I'm not sure I understand entirely what you need, but I probably can help.

Did you model the outfit in the picture and now you need it textured? Is that it?
If you did, may I please have the UVW map or the model (preferably) to create the texture?

If you agree, please send me the pattern reference you've mentioned, ok?

Cheers,
-Stefano

Stefano, i have not developed a model.  I figured you could use one of the ingame armor models and create a texture for it.  I am including the historical textures created from fabrics dating to around the 13th century or so.... I am posting them here.  I created them by using the texturize plugin for Gimp.  If you can help that would be great...

Here are the patterns.  I have not imbedded them in the post because they are 500kb each...

OK...Update....I am working on final retexturing and tweaking some of the models.  Wife and daughter have been sick so that is the cause of the delay..  HOWEVER, i have found a little bit to upload some pics of a few mods on the current models and a brand new Mace (i know i said i was going to stop adding but those Middle Eastern maces are just too Cool)...

So here we go:

Ottoman 'Janissary' Mace.  I decided to try out the 'Onion' shaped head of the 2nd prototype instead of the first and like it a lot.  So this is the one that will be in version 1.5



German 'Spiral Mace'.  After review some more photos of the prototype from different angles it was clear that the profile was more oval and oblong than what i had it.  So here is the updated Model with the new more accurate shape:



Lastly the 'New' model....The Saracen Mace (which is featured in the Osprey book on the Saracens and portrayed in the movie 'Kingdom of Heaven' where listed as a 'War Club' - Sorry, regardless of what Hollywood says its a mace!(grin)).



Here is a JPG of the Reproduction of the Movie version.  If someone wants to create a good texture for the inlaid art on this one i would be happy to add it to the Model pack...



I hope you enjoyed,

Gluck

Did you try setting the Compatibility mode to XP? To do this right click the icon, choose Properties, click the Compatibility tab, choose "Windows XP SP2" (or similar) from the list, and click OK. In some cases this makes games work correctly and in other cases it doesn't do any good. It's certainly worth a try.

点击展开...

Actually, thats how i run it now( under XP compatibility and still .903 crashes/ .901 is fine)...Thanks for checking though!

Gluck

No none of that worked...but here is what works...

Uninstalled .903...
Reinstalled .903 = no change, still crashes..
Uninstalled .903
Installed .894 then upgraded to .901...

.901 works fine for hours on end, in fact in days of testing - no crashes at all.  Installed software to monitor temps and all are normal under both versions...
I even maxed all detail / options...no crashes under .901...

Final verdict:  .901 = Runs perfect (as before)  .903 = crashes all the time...

Solution: to remain with .901 until trying a newer release at a later date... Thanks for ideas

Well here is one of the last Maces i will make for the pack....Its an Ottoman Turkish Mace...It is featured on the front cover of Ospreys book on Ottoman Armies....  I have dulled the details down to limit the polygons but the main form is close...

I guess they are long enough they are Pole-Maces..Looks like a neat mod too!

Gluck

点击展开...

Maybe they must be a little bigest for Pole-Maces, but it is very interesting idea. Maybe I will enlarge some of them.
Would you like that I send you somewhere what I changed? But any one can pick them from my mod, so it is maybe not so important.

Nema,

You can just put a mention of the mace pack in your mod.  I understand that anyone could pull them out but if you make a note of it thats fine...Thanks

*Always do a complete reinstall as a first measure

*If you are using a save game from a previous version, try starting a new game.

*Make sure your laptop isn't overheating and as a result crashing.

点击展开...

Will try the reinstall...

Not using a save game...

Even Cold booted (Otherwords computer is completely cool and i boot and launch game right away) it crashes within minutes of game start

HardCode 说:

Fantastic work! It's nice to see the long-neglected blunt weapons get its own weapons pack.

HardCode: Thanks! and dear Lord i havent seen that  Commodore C64 command in your signature line for a decade or more (or WAY more)...(grin)... I am sure in the 80's i typed that more than anyone.... LOL!
