Update for Iron Europe! http://www.fsegames.eu/forum/index.php?topic=184.1890
Update #20 Scopes, Grenades, In-game Screens
As promised, the 20th update is going to focus more on coding and in-game stuff instead of being a typical render update. Before we get to that, some more members of the Bear Force team have joined us. Welcome KArantukki and Peppe019 to the team. They are both very experienced and will definitely speed up development.
Coding
Alright, now let's talk about coding. As most of you know, DanyEle joined the team some time ago. With Azrooh's help and his older work, he's been able to implement some really cool stuff. Before we get to that, I mentioned last update that we have most of our models in-game. I've gotten some screenshots of a couple implemented weapons.
Melee
Guns
We are aware that there are still a bunch of issues. For example, helmet shininess, Gewehr 98 sight, sizing, etc. We will work on correcting these overtime, don't worry.
Now onto the features that DanyEle has been working on.
Shooting System: We have a new system created by Azrooh. We've been hesitant to show it earlier due to some bugs, but with DanyEle joining the team, they were quickly fixed. It's more similar to what you use in typical shooter games, right click to aim and left click to shoot. You might've also seen this system in Bear Force II. We have several different kinds of weapons that load differently. For example, the Lebel is tube fed so loads cartridges individually while the Gewehr loads with stripper clips. As well, we have new sounds, from DiplexHeated, and new animations from Peppe019, to bring these weapons to life.
Scopes: We have a sniper class that spawns in with a scope. As you expect, when aiming, it allows you to zoom with a cross hair effect, similar to how spyglasses work. Like the bayonet, it is a separate, toggable, item in your inventory. The scope effect was made by Peppe019.
Bleeding and Bandaging: When you take a certain amount of damage, you start bleeding slowly. Some of you who've played Secession may recognize this feature. It's been adapted to NW by Dany. Of course, there are also bandages. When a bleeding person is hit by one, the bleeding stops.
Whistles and Binoculars: Simple stuff. They work the same way instruments and spyglasses work in NW. Whistle sound from Diplex and binocular effect from Peppe019.
Grenades: We finally have grenades. These will be carried by French and German assault troops. We have both ones with fuses and the more dangerous percussion ones. As well, there's a concentrated charge which was made by bundling the heads of several stick grenades together.
See these things in action here:
Renders
Of course, work on models and textures have continued. Peppe019, one of our new artists, gave the Stalhlelm, created by Hampus Norlander, a make over and created the Stirnpanzer Browplate as well.
Now, you saw a very brief glimpse of one of our grenades in the video. Here are a couple more we've made.
What's Next?
The mod is in a playable state but not yet ready for a release. We've started to talk about testing but don't get your hopes up. It's not going to be a public testing nor a large private testing. If you ask me to be part of the testing, I will never talk to you again.
In the meantime, you can expect a couple more updates that will give more and more information about the mod as we progress.

That looks awesome. I really like the animation and sound for the rifle.

Wait, is this a new thread? I remember there being another one here that I posted on that had almost 200 pages.

That's in the NW section.

Oh, derp. Silly me. 
Very nice! It is great to see everything coming together a little bit (or a lot) more with each update.

Wow, this mod looks great! I really can't wait for it to come out but I know I will. I have a question, have you considered adding Picklhaubes? Or maybe some more early war uniforms, or cavalry? That is probably a lot to ask, I'm sorry, but those are some of the reasons I like there war, I will still play it, I don't expect you to do this. Thank you for your time, and keep coding!
Wismar said:
That is to be expected considering the mod is focusing mostly on the peak periods of trench warfare, namely 1916 onward. Seeing how Pickelhauben stopped being used by combat troops in March to May 1916 (depending on the unit) it makes little sense to have them, just like cavalry that were non-existent in the west after 1914. Besides, most troops stopped having the spike on their helmets by mid 1915 anyway, since it might give their presence to a sniper or artillery observer while moving around the trenches.

Ok, that is understandable. I'm sorry for any inconvenience in my comment, but thank you for your time!
Update #21 Into the Trenches!
This update we take you into the battlefields that you'll be fighting on, demonstrating our trench system, deployable ammunition crates, and mortars.
Trenches
A lot of you have been wondering about the promised mapping module for some time now. I'm happy to say that we're close to finishing it. There are some bugs to work out and more props to add but we're getting there. You can now create very complex trenches, with small dugouts, mortar/mg positions, and even bunkers. As well, a ton of props have been added, allowing you to "decorate" your trenches with trench walls, duckboards, firesteps, phones, lamps, ammunition crates, barbed wire and more.
Keep in mind that this map is incomplete and will probably never be complete because it is just for demonstration.
Many props and textures are from Lucke189's WWI OSP and AndreusAs was generous enough to allow us to use his sandbags from his mod. Big thanks to them.
Renders
Here's a closer look at some barbed wire props that KArantukki created. These can be placed as scene props or constructed by engineers.
As well, you may have recognized the French 58mm Mortar from previous updates. It is now complete and fully functional, capable of providing artillery support from the safety of a trench. This is the first artillery piece we've implemented and you can expect many more to come.
Finally, KArantukki's ammo crates. Support troops can carry these around and deploy them when their comrades are low on ammunition. It will not be unlimited and further testing will be needed to determine how it should be limited.
Video
Now, to demonstrate the last two, is a quick video. Thanks to DanyEle for making it all work and Diplex for the amazing mortar sounds.
What's Next?
More news on the mapping module and more artillery is sure to come in the future. In other news, a couple aesthetic changes have been made. You now see more recoil in the firing animations and grenade smoke has been significantly reduced. Keep leaving us tips on how we can improve the mod. Thanks for checking out this update!

Just a question but is this mod still alive ? I'm not that active anymore on Taleworlds but when I look to threads like this it has been a week
since somebody replied (moi ). Or is there an other finished ww1 mod which is still being plaid ? I would love to participate in a big 'over the top'
event
