Hussite Wars Mod

Developement temporarily stopped - until Calradia 1914 release

Background
This mod is about hussite movement in Bohemia (1419-1434), i think that this game may need mod from 15ct. - for those who dont know it was attempt of religious reformation (pre-protestant) lead by Jan Hus, who was burned for his "heretic" evenso he was protected by king Sigismund (also king of Hungary and HRE emperor - but his protection was only on temporal power, Sigismund didnt have right to protect him from church power), so in Bohemia he was considered a traitor and after death of his brother Vaclav IV. (king of bohemia) he wasnt accepted as czech king -> start of the hussite movement.

Very informative post, surely this mod shall go far.

 

[Amigo]

This mod was relased already, its not kind of the new wave mods which are anounced when the new version comes out and die in a week, as you probably thought. For sure i will add more info + move some stuff from old folder.

Amigo - you could make it more deep in terms of political sitution. For example instead of just "catholics" you could make states as Lower Silesia, Upper Silesia, Hungary, Bavaria, Duchy of Oppeln (the prince of this duchy was fighting along Hussities for some time). The parties could cooperate with each other or hate each other. There could be war or ceasefire times and so on and so on.

 

[Amigo]

there should be Hungary, Hussites, HRE (i will merge all states since i dont want to add factions, they may have nation specific armor etc.) and Poland or Bohemian catholics.
Silesia was part of bohemian crown so they wont be faction.

Retextured Bavarian and bohemian chain. i still have number of items from HYW which i asked for last year, at least as material for textures (i am not skilled in texturing)

 

[xDELTAx]

This would be pretty cool.

 

[EasyCo506]

Why should you make a poll on whether or not we'd like to this (although I chose yes )? If you want to do this, go ahead and do it. Sounds pretty neat from what I see so far.

 

[Amigo]

well, the theme of the mod is quite unique and i wasnt sure if it will be interesting to someone outside middle europe. this isnt like for example viking mods, which are interesting for their theme itself  .

Added some pictures

How do you plan to do the Hussite war wagons?

 

[Amigo]

i have an idea of making it as kind of horse, with a lot of hitpoints, with what will be equiped special hussite unit only (wagon itself wont be tradeable etc.) and you will just command them to "dismount" - but this would mean loss of yout other cavalry, but its easier.
or it will be a static battle scene scene, so battles will be simmiliar to castle siege - i am browsing python for solution now.

btw python help is more than welcomed.

-wagon is now completed (without texture)

Nice work on the war wagon. It could do with a couple of extra "windows" though, like this one.

 

[Amigo]

good hint, reworked: http://img156.imageshack.us/my.php?image=beznzvudk0.jpg.

problem occured - when i put the old model (and since the new one is just a bit reworked this one, it will be same) of wagon into brfeditor, i got this:

http://img254.imageshack.us/my.php?image=errorsr6.jpg -i didnt delete any edges or so in wings, its first time i have experienced this problem..
will it be same ingame?

 

[Jaakko]

Is it triangulated?

 

[Amigo]

lol. sometimes i really want to kill myself.. 

 

[Matrix33]

Don't do it please. If you kill yourself there will be nobody to finish hussite wars mod  And I really want to play it.

 

[Aqtai]

good hint, reworked: http://img156.imageshack.us/my.php?image=beznzvudk0.jpg.

Definitely better.

How about making the windows a bit smaller and triangular though.


Found this on t'internet about the Hussites BTW:

[Amigo]

well, with too small windows it will be unpossible to shoot from inside of the wagon. but perhaps i will make them so.

is it possible to modify standart battleground (putting those wagons on, something like siege scenes), thus making for example 5 different changing battlegrounds? perhaps tell how  .

i have put that link on first post, but i doubt it will be any use for me since i have all images here and i am czech. thanks anyway

I am not modder nor have any modding experience but I suppose there is possibility to create something like arena. I remember seein kind of field fortifications in modded arena battles. And maybe it is possible to treat this like something similar to attacking castles? You could just replace castle with the hussite artifictial castle - the wagenburg.

Just couple of thoughts

 

[Amigo]

Firearms added so count them on in your ideas
