SP Native VS mod (Info Update: 6-18-07) (Stage Update: 6-19-07)

[Kringe]

Already pretty much the story of the original, I have been hightening the battle of VS.

To get a better idea of VS, I will list all the current changes, and am fine tuning the adjustments. The idea was spawned off the Better Factions MOD, but after trying to play it and many errors crashing the client, I persued my own version.

It has been a while, I know and I am sorry. Especially if anyone was anticipating. Which I am sure or hopefully there was one person haha. Well I am proud to announce I have gone into partnership with a friend and one whom does modeling for other games such as Ashen Empires and Dransik. Google it We plan on hopefully finishing VS mod this summer as a side project. We will keep yall updated on what is going to go on, what's new. This mod will take a new turn from what I have originally intended but only for the better.

Nifty. It would make a great expansion, of sorts.

 

[Alec{zacool}]

Sounds good, Good luck with it. 

 

[Swordmaster]

That rusty shortsword is fine.

 

[CXZAR]

i tell this to almost every mod, but for yours i think is a must... add some of the weapons (specially swords) from the stoned-dude weapon pack... i think it will be great for your mod...

here's the link... check it out

[Alec{zacool}]

Oh yeah, Stoned-dude's weapon pack is awesome. Go for it.

 

[Eother]

Cool...that's some nice work you did!

 

[Kringe]

Thanks guys. Well I really dont plan on inputting all sorts of weapons into the game, just sticking to what there is and putting into more to my vision.

I started breaking down the parties instead of random people with random armour to something a little different. The Black Khergit Raiders now rival Dark Hunters,... ok hell, they can kick some dark hunter butt actually they are buddy buddy and help each other out Caravans carry bout 20-30 troops and the khergits go after them quite often, but also the ill effect is scouts, patrols, and war parties will kill them on site. I have no more plans on the khergit raiders for I think they are a finished phaze. Just have to finish putting bandits in classes.

I dedicate about 5 hrs of the day fine tuning the parties and such. My big goal is to make the game a lil more challenging.

 

[Eother]

Neato. Are you planning on adding more quests, or just fine-tuning things?

 

[Nethoras]

That rusty shortsword is fine.

thats from native its one of the items floating around idle for some reason...

and I think you have swadians veagirs kinda mixed up, I'm pretty sure swadians are blue and veagirs red, no this isnt outlined anywhere, but it just seems to fit more and is in most mods of this kind, and also you gave swadians sledgehammers and the veagirs swwords, when it should be the other way around, swadians=organised and sophisticated army Veagirs=unruly bunch oh nordic barbarians.

but I guess its your mod so do what you want...

Yes you are right. I mentioned above, everything is used from native. The Veagirs have organized quite some bit Well my definition of men at arms has always been a dude on a horse in red clothed armour with a mace, so i think i made that more towards my own typical vision how i perceive the game. I have really only played it for a lil over a month, so I would as some people say have a "newbish" mind set towards it

 

[Eother]

I like the idea of more organization with the armies. Before, the fights could be odd. You'd have a random peasant assault you with the mismatched, gear-confused knights.

haha, after playing it a few weeks i was like,... man,... everyone looks so different and unique,... then in battle, i started to get tired of seeing names and such above head and would rather fight KNOWING whos in battle without looking at names. Im working all weekend and have finals coming up, not to mention defensive driving course that NEEDS to get done so not much will get done this weekend, but ill update yall with some more info most likely monday or tuesday. I plan on releasing a beta in 2 weeks just to see what yall think and have input on it. Once beta is done, will be released and done for good so I hope atleast someone out there might enjoy it

On a side note, would be great if someone could help me with quests. I already have all the visuals, armours, classes pretty inset in there but anyone willing to help will not be overlooked.

 

[Eother]

Awesome...I'll have to try it.

 

[orwiz]

Wow sounds wery good.

 

[samipso]

I'd make better screenshots if i were you. noone can see what the weapons are like on high resolution.

 

[Thetyrant]

Here is just a preview shot of the shield model.

I will be doing modeling for Versus. Only on my free time, I have other games that i work as my job that takes up most of my time. But this mod should be fun.

Cheers

[Servitor]

Uselessness! 

Great job. Continue the good work.

and your a Recruit how?!?!?!?


nice work good luck
i like the dirk of whatever it is.

 

[Nethoras]

seriously atila, first off being a recruit has nothing to do with modding skill, its all based on how many posts you have, he's new thats how he's a recruit, there ya go. secondly never quote something that big, insted of putting the actuall  pics in replace them with pic, or picture of dagger, or awesome screeny, or whatever floats your boat. an I dont know if you were infering that kringe made the dirk, but he did not, thats from native. the mod seems to be coming along fine, but I think you have veagirs and swadians reversed, and definitly do not give any swadian troop andything as crude as those rocks on a stick.
