New Village Scenes

[yeo]

Since i ve found out there are a lot of 18 century village buildings used in Native Swadian cities, I was editing village scenes.
i spent 3 hours editing Tshibtin village and heres what I made:

Sweet jesus, that's some good scene editing mate.
One problem though, this took you 3 hours. There's certainly over 50 villages. That's 150 Hours, which is more than 6 days.

 

[yeo]

actualy, there are 90 villages, 30 castles, 18 town, all togeather about 350 scenes.

 

[bjorne.]

ya, you make the math for that

 

[boogie85]

looks like you got to do a lot of work now..

 

[Berthout]

Looks really nice!

 

[JDeNef13]

Looks really nice!

Indeed, they do look very good.

Once suggestion: is it possible to spawn more villagers/people in the scenes? I never have the feeling that the village/town is filled with people. There isn't a crowd. It would make towns more vivid. But so far, well done!

Great work =D. I already wanted to use these timbered houses. Unfortunately, you cant use this for towns and the church sure not.

Also, this don't need 355 hours or whatever =D, if you create a team for modeling & texture.
It's a pleasure if i than can help.
I'm already working on a 18-century house:

(This is half-work)

 

[bjorne.]

It's a nice model, but the poly count looks rather high, how his is it?

And then again, 3 hours times 350  scenes are 1050 hours. Modding 4 hours per day equals 262,5 days.
Three people on that is 87,5 days together. That's abour 3 months.
You willing to gather 2 more people to work 8 hours per day for the past three months? Be my quest.

 

[Quintillius]

High? I think not.

And again, if we can recruit some people. (about 10/100?) We don't need 262.5 days.
And maybe we can copy the villages and change some buildings.

There is only one horrible thing. The towns, which needs many models.

 

[bjorne.]

Recruit a hundred people?
In my opinion is modding alot about prioritying and quite frankly ain't villages and towns my highest priority. But if you are willing to do it. Would I be happy to include it.

 

[Berthout]

I agree that villages aren't all to important. Towns however define a lot of the atmosphere in the mod.

Again, I rather heave 1 or 2 good 18th century scenes used by multiple towns then the native ones.
So no need to spend hundreds of hours. A few scenes would be already quite amazing.

 

[Quintillius]

Right, right and right.

I think, we should do this:
Just create 2 towns and 2 villages with the native objects (yeo has already one, if i create another one we have this piece almost ready)

Then, some scripting and the addon is ready. In the next weeks, we can add more scene_props. (forts are highly advised. Just a few walls and towers) And every time we update the addon with new scene props, new items, new features, new.... =D.

P.S.: I really don't like everyone is too concerned to help me with scene_props .

 

[bjorne.]

I wished for the atmosphere to be on the battlefield, cause that's where my mod is focusing.

 

[Quintillius]

We could edit that as well.

 

[bjorne.]

What the battlefield?

 

[Quintillius]

U said the atmosphere on the battlefield is important.
Thus, i said we can edit the battlefield also. (can't we?)

 

[bjorne.]

We can but it's harder since it's a autogenerator making every battlefield different. But it's not about the scene as much as the sounds and particle effects.

 

[Quintillius]

Yay  . I got my object in game =D!
I did instead of the mesh name, adding the brf file name in the script. And i had to add a extra '/' at the end of the line in module_info file.

There is only one problem. The collision mesh isn't the same as the visual mesh, which implies i can walk through some pieces. Hopefully anyone has an answer for this. And oh yeah, how can i create climbable stairs xD?

See this =D: My gallows on the stage.

-------------------------------------------------------
EDIT:

omg... if you turn the object with the ingame editor, only the visible mesh will be turned... not the collision mesh oO. Is there any solution for this? =S

 

[bjorne.]

I don't seem to understand your problem?Don't you know how to make a collisionmesh? Don't you know how to implant it in-game? Or how to compile it into a .brf?

and how to  make stuff climbable should you make the collisionmesh like 45degrees. The steaper the slower climb.
