Perennial Nuisance - help needed.

Anyone paying attention to the mod will have noticed that I appeared - and then dissapeared again.

The reason is, my new computer was stolen. Yay.
I have put my isurance money some way towards a new one (getting a flashy xps 1530 laptop) which apparently won't arrive until the start of Feb.

I had, after considerable badgering from Dain got quite a long way towards a release, unfortunately this all went with the wanker who took my computer (any iPod... and TV... and stereo...)

So, feeling completely unintersted in doing the same rubbish all over again I'm going to throw what most needs doing at the community, with an if you want the mod, you help style of thing.


I'm prepared to do all the coding, mapping and the like, however I don't have the patience to do all the getting the items into brf's and the game nonsense.

OKAY, so here's what needs doing, in bit sized pieces for single people to do, if you think you can help give me a PM or post here and I'll email or upload the files you'll need:

1) All the uniforms thankfully are rigged, they may need some fiddling around the knees to get them to fit. After that put them all in a .brf and put them into items.py

2) Swords and muskets, I frankly don't havea clue what I have done / haven't done with the swords, but then again they are just swords so they're pretty easy things to get in game. The muskets need marginally resizing, I'll give you further instructions on this. All need to go into suitable brf and text files, and if you're feeling really nice you could sort out scabbards for me.

3) Hats, I think all the hats are ready except for two, one has an alpha channel appearing where it shouldn't that I couldn't figure out, the other has corners appearing on feathers that should be see through on the corners. Not sure whats going on here, so probably a job for a clever cookie. Again, all need to go into brfs.

The other thing I need help with is scenes, I wont go into details now as I want to sort the other stuff sorted out first but if you're interested say so.

Bul****.

Do you ever have anything worth saying? Why don't you just give your keyboard a rest?

(Sorry for stepping on your thread Hussey, but you're a veteran forum member and modder, and stupid little ****s like DarkAnd need a slap once in a while. Your thread deserves more respect.)

Cheers buddy.

I think you'll find bull has two "l" 's

Coincidentally were you implying that the situation is bull****, or that what I said is bull****? If the latter count yourself lucky you live in Brasil.
 
Yes I deserved,
The "Bull****" was about the new computer being stolen, I think I might know what you are felling, this happened whit me but it was a car.

Irony!

It sucks your computer got stolen. You've got more determination than I do, though. If I had lost all of my work, I'd just have given up.
 
Well I've still got a fair bit left on the PC, it's just all the work I did in the past month (which ironically is the first time I've proactively worked on the mod for months) has gone, and I'm damned if I want to repeat myself again.
 
Umm, can I help?  I won't try putting stuff in brf files, because my computer has an issue with the brfeditor (doesn't matter if I reinstall it) but I'll happily rearrange the troop equipment lists and upgrade tree, if you already know the names for the items they need.

Other help I can do is building party templates for you ...  basically the easy python stuff.
 
I've got most of that already thanks. I'll give you a PM if anything of that nature turns up that needs doing though.
 
That sucks. 

I am an obsessive compulsive with brfedit.  I think I enjoy organizing files more than I enjoy modding itself.  :lol:  I can plug in your brf files if you want.  I just did a tld reorg anyway so that's where my head is at the moment.

For ease of mesh access you might think about having your brfs broken down as follows:

PN_costumes
PN_boots
PN_gloves
PN_hats
PN_firearms
PN_weapons

It will also keep the LODs from crowding the files too much. You might also consider adding "aaa_" as a prefix to frequently accessed files so they appear first when you go to open a file.  Saves you from digging for them all the time.

If you dont get any other takers then PM me the stuff and I can quickly throw them into brfs in that format this weekend.  But I really dont have time to fiddle with and adjust them.  You could then parcel  out the brfs to others for repairs though.

Either that or I could fix your hat alphas, Ive done that before with transparency alphas.
 
If you could do the alphas that would be fantastic. If you're busy ATM there's no rush, I'd just like it all done by Feb 2nd. I've gone to go to work now, but I'll give you a PM in the morning about the hats.
 
I'm really sorry to hear that mate. I know what it feels like to lose months of hard work.
 
I havent checked this out myself but Ive heard that some hat/helms dont do well with real hair due to clipping issues.  You guys should experiment with it, then decide whether you want real hair or not.
 
I reckon I'll leave hair on for now, we can remove it later if the need takes us.

Ancientwanker - please PM me your email and I'll send them over (they're not very big files)
 
Aw ****E CLOUDS.
Please, please, please don't give up. I've been skipping behind this mod with a happy gleeful grin for years.
Best of luck to you. (Sorry for not posting anything that can help you but I know nothing of your woes)
 
If we get it out, can we make the firearms as good as in BoW extended? :p I.e unique loading anim for musket, block with musket... actually do some damage :razz:
