HolyWar Mod

[Tooff]

Edited.
Hi all!
I begin to try to continue making the mod what Raz start.I don`t get any permision from Raz(I asked him) and I`ll deside to make a Mod by myself.
Any helps will need about the times of crusaders,textures,models,historycal materials,names, also need scene editors,and other stuff,coz I`m not profesional just try.
The things what I did right now:
New middle east Map
6 factions: 3vs3 "Kingdom of Jerusalem","County of Tripoli","Principality of Antioch","Ayyubid Empire","Fatimid Caliphate","Seljuk Empire".
some models and textures for crusader times.

Hi all, what about times of Crusaders,it`ll be good to play this in M&B. I can help to make mod. in v0.73 someone did mod like this,but never be finished yet.

Raz made a very nice mod about Crusaders and Saracens and he released beta for 0.751.

 

[Elenmmare]

Yep, thats what Tooff said.

The team still says they're working on it, but I honestly think that it can be classified as dead.
If you want a nice Crusader vs Saracen type mod, you could play Battle for Sicily for version .808.
The Medieval 2 Total war mod will have crusades.

EEK!

*cringe*

Still, they've been working on it forever- a star wars mod was mod for 751, and they can't release a medieval themed mod? Battle for Sicily was made by one man, afterall.

They are still working on it. I've heard Raz is waiting for version 1.0.

 

[Elenmmare]

Ah ok. That makes a bit more sense. A crusader mod would be extremely cool, btw

 

[insomniac]

that mod was something i wished to play.  I hope it is not dead.

 

[Ragnar]

a crusader mod is the only mod i'm waiting for... otherwise i'm actually satisfied by the other mods

 

[Elenmmare]

I'd probably make one if I could model- problem is that these mods require the most skilled modders or charity- something I don't seem to be getting much 

 

[Ragnar]

yep..thats it...
on the one hand i've some ideas and agendas... but>>as you said ... problem is modeling

He is always waiting for a next version! 

 

[insomniac]

maybe Raz could give the source code to volunteers, and hopefully they port it to .903

He never got the mod ported to .808 and out, and Armagan says the main version will be out in May.  There's no point in wasting all the time it takes to port and create such a huge mod project.

that's very stupid. Cheap even. I've played the 0.808 beta and it was playable, but definitely NOT ready for a release. Imho deciding not to release half made product is better than releasing native with renamed factions and calling it a mod.


In fact, Raz is working on a completely different project at the moment. But I'm sure he'll finish HW when 1.0 is out.

 

[cremo]

I ve just seen some videos from youtube of that mod and it looked awesome.. I really hope to seen it finished!

 

[wildhorse]

I really hope that it won't be some kind of "holy war forever", if you know what I mean...

Anyway,..waiting for this great mod,....helplessly hoping .

That being said, renaming factions takes 1 minute- they've had a year at least. Its not about them not being able to, they just want a stable version as you've said. I think that any release is actually a good thing, as it stops people from giving up. Look at Ibanez's mods- he releases things the instant that he has something to work with- you can't say it hasn't gotten his projects any attention.

 

[Merlkir]

while that may be true in a way, release like that are not very playable and restarting your character three times in a week makes the player drop playing the mod. Porting the mod every time a new MaB comes out is also frustrating for the modder..

Raz'z mod has a much bigger scope than a simple overhaul of the vanilla version. Hes working on a siege system as well as other engine tweaks that are hard to port from version to version. Go to the forums for it and look at some of the features and screen shots. It will be worth the wait to 1.0 and lots of people have put a lot of very hard work into it. It is far from dead.
