I think you should make the word books more larger in the first post.Denra 说:

would be much better based on two books and films but with the utmost importance in the books.

I don't know what you mean by "two books", but if you're talking about the storyline, there will be a new storyline created by us, but set in the same universe (with of course the due familiar faces).
Through the course of the storyline there will be all the stuff that made the books fun (Iris messaging, for instance) and we'll be adding some stuff too. So it's not exactly a translation of one of the books into m&b, it's more like a new book set in the game.
I think it'll be fun, and since we're planning on making the story pretty massive (you'll go through new york, camp halfblood, the underworld and all that), it won't be a one-day mod.
That, of course, is for the single-player campaign.

I just manted to ask, is this mod going to be for Warband or original. Sorry, you probably already answered that question, and I missed it

Thank goodness! There are just too many mods with great ideas that are for the original mount and blade, which I unfortunately don't own .

So the multiplayer version is coming along nicely.
We do have one major deficiency though that may drag away the closed beta date considerably.
We have many of the models we need for an initial launch, but since our texturer is also the project coordinator and secondary modeller he can't dedicate nearly enough time as he'd need to the textures.
So, if anyone has any kind of experience with basic texturing, please do step up. Even if someone wants to do a couple of textures, no strings attached, that would be great.
That said I guess an update to the single-player campaign is in order.
I'm currently working on character creation, and your character can be a child of any of the twelve olympians, except Artemis and Hera.
In character creation each type of demigod also gets to choose from two specializations.
So, for example, a son of Poseidon can choose to have more horse-back riding skill or to have more ability with his water manipulation powers.

Sounds interesting But how are you going to make the god powers? I don't know anything about modding, so don't blame me for being curious.

We're going to use (or at least try to use) a system similar to the force in the Star Wars Conquest mod.
Basically you have differing degrees of ability with your powers, and then the various things you can do. So you start the game with something like Poseidon's Powers I (maybe with a more creative name) and Wave.
If you equip Poseidon's Powers I you can select the Wave ability and make a wave of water hit your oponent.
We are still very early into adding this, though.

Can you guys post a list of the powers each demigod gets? something like:
Son/daughter of Zeus= summon lightning
Son/daughter of Poseidon= summon wave
Son/daughter of Hades= summon undead warrior (just guessing on that one)
etc.

Well, we're still very early on implementing the powers.
And since our coder (me) is actually a modeller that started coding because we couldn't get anyone else to do it, I'm pretty much playing "guess the code" on this one.
I imagine there'll be a preliminary version of the powers system in the closed beta.
If you want a list, though, I can't really say for certain.
I can tell you however that we do indeed have plans for skeleton summoning, wave control and all the things you'd think would be in.
One thing I think is gonna be cool is the "Dazzle" ability I plan on giving the Aphrodite kids. Basically they force a stun animation (maybe an extended stun animation?) on an enemy so they're vulnerable in a fight. If we had someone for animations we could really make this come to life, but alas...
Hey, maybe I should learn animation. I'm sure there's a tutorial or two around here...

I'd love to help, but I don't know anything about about modding . Maybe I should just take some tutorial...

Well if you want to help, we really need either a scene-maker or a texturer.
There are tutorials on the Forge for both of those, and since we are pretty deficient in those areas anything you can do will be appreciated.
Might even prove a decent learning experience, actually.
