Sounds awesome, Lynores. It's great to have you back

 

[tenerife_boy]

I would say January or late december,

well, a month or two is quite shortly time to wait, for this fantastic mod.
Keep it up Lynores we are all with you supporting! 

 

[Lynores]

Thanks a lot, guys. I'm glad to be back and seeing all those old faces (or avatars ) again. Funny how we remember each and every person (almost two years later) and specific conversations we had without ever meeting them. Always nice seeing new faces as well, and the awesome high number of people that Warband has brought to our old M&B community.

then it'll take a while

or... then it will take scene maker. 

Yes, well, I plan on giving Dawg and Arzeal a heads up and open up a thread specifically for that. I will keep working on scenes for an indeterminate time though.

What I do plan for the future is:
a) Obviously bugfixing and polishing
b) Further enhance formations,  add animations and make more scripts
c) Scenes

That's pretty much it, with some cool new units in between as references come along. That will give me a solid but peaceful line of development, instead of the crazy back and forth between modelling,  texturing, scripting, sceneing, testing, researching, back to modelling etc etc that I got right now. 

And besides, from now on you will be the one hearing complaints about how scythians hand players' arses back to them, how thracian peltasts are overpowered, people dying from a javelin hit, people getting run over by persian horses. They always do. So, I will just sit back and relax with some nice pilão and a couple guantanameras.

I wonder can we make a face base on Lynores's Avatar

 

[chimera_t]

when it gonna be for Warband, and for the love of troy can we get it all on a single site?

 

[Outlawed]

We have a skilled Scene maker, Hulksmash, he's done some really nice maps for AoFI. If you have scene props he can help if you like =)

 

[Lynores]

Thats great of you guys, bro. Yes, I have done a hundred props or so, I think.

[chimera_t]

WHEN IS DIS GONNA BE FOR WARBAND? I WANNA PLAY IT!!! and for the love of sweet helen can we please upload it to a single site?

 

[Outlawed]

I'll talk to my guy and PM you

 

[chimera_t]

i would love to help with modding, but idk how  i tried the Forge but they weren't helpful....

 

[tenerife_boy]

Hey, Lynores, as the alpha poll was in favour to release an early alpha of the mod, what are you gonna do?

 

[Lynores]

Hey, Lynores, as the alpha poll was in favour to release an early alpha of the mod, what are you gonna do?

Well, since it was only two to one in that poll, I might release it sooner, but not that soon. For a really early release I was expecting it to have a bigger difference. So I will probably make some more scenes before the release, not tons of them, but not just a couple either. If I get any help with that it will pop up sooner, obviously, if not, then I'll just take my usual approach and keep working at it by myself. I will probably need some testers before the actual release though, so I might hit you guys up when the time is near.


EDIT:

I've been playing around with some models and textures while I work on Persia. Let me know if you folks like this stronger model. If you do I'll  add it in there and adjust a couple things to make it accurate then throw a different texture there.

[chimera_t]

do you guys need any help with scenes or maps? thats all im good at right now, but i'd love to help

 

[Lynores]

Yes, I need all help I can get with scenes. There are many to be done. Everything else is fine, I'll handle it myself.

Here's the thread.

[tenerife_boy]

the unit is nice and I love to see another muscled cuirass.
Will there be more? Like the one I sent you.
In the other hand, I still think the hoplon is too small.

anyway, nice job!

 

[Outlawed]

Does that cuirass have a normal map on it?

 

[Lynores]

Nope. I'm playing around to fit a new model in first.

Will there be more? Like the one I sent you.

Which one you mean? You sent me like 30 pictures.

 

[tenerife_boy]

looool Yes , include only the best ones firstly...

Spoiler

and then if you could, the rest.

 

[Lynores]

I will probably be making some lighter and other darker versions for cuirasses, though I really need to watch my folder here, TPW is over 1gb already. There are some textures to be scaled down, though.

EDIT:

Same model, just no shoulder pads. My original question was about whether people would like stronger models (as in arms, legs, overall size) or not. Not as a replacement, but an addon for a few specific units.

I've rescaled the arms and legs a bit on these, personally I think they look a bit meaner this way.
