I'll certainly be wanting to use these.

So will everyone else .

 

[gutekfiutek]

Thanks all
Now Fake_houses.brf.
Fake_house_d

 

[Nordmann]

Fantastic stuff mate! A massive improvement over the stock buildings, I'll definitely be using these when released. Keep up the good work.

 

[Moujik]

Great job, depending on the performance impact I believe this is good enough to be integrated into the native version.

I hope the dev team will consider it

Given that they've already started making the CDs to be distributed, I doubt that.

 

[Savage]

Well, it's their loss 

 

[Moujik]

Eh it has an online update system, I doubt there will be no fixes or updates whatsoever once the CDs are on the shelves. By the way I don't think I ever bought a game that didn't already have an update available

 

[Artizan]

do you use bump maps on that textures? that would be really cool and far more realistic.

 

[gutekfiutek]

I'm afraid that's not possible to include this mod in the native.
It's a lot more complicated than just placing it in native release.
After all there's no reason - these buildings will be available for free for all players.
For now I use only native textures with modified diffuse - so there is "native" bump.
Almost finished fake_houses.brf (fake_house_c is ready in 80%)

fake_house_a


fake_house_b


fake_house_d


And one of siege scenes (almost all buildings in city sieges are fake_houses)

 

[Lt. of the tower]

More sweetness.

 

[gutekfiutek]

Some numbers (polycount of fake_houses)
fake_house_a - 4248 triangles - was 2370 triangles
fake_house_b - 2959 triangles - was 1873 triangles
fake_house_c - 3903 triangles - was 2082 triangles
fake_house_d - 4390 triangles - was 2105 triangles

Versions with thathed roofs will be more "heavy"- about 200 - 300 triangles more.

And fake_house_c:

Are you going to redo the inside of the buildings too? Like the taverns and the castle halls?

 

[gutekfiutek]

I'm going to redo at least taverns.
And town/castle walls need some work.
And here is quick street test I done yesterday.
I made 2 segments of road (I need somemore - probably square, crossroad, triangle section).
I've put those town together in 3dmax to save time - but done within game editor it will look exactly the same.
Remember that with some props and more dirt it will look better.

Road segments:

And town:

And this is first version of roads (textures on walls and roads are the same)

         

 

[Night Ninja]

Those are really good.

Might I suggest that you 'remove' a cobblestone or kerb stone here and there? It could contribute to a more worn feel.

 

[your nightmare]

you're streets really look awesome and you amaze me with the fact that you still keep going for it , it would've stopped long ago .A well meaned congratz.

As bumps and little wholes would make it more reel .

 

[Savage]

pools of mud and/or water too maybe

But as he said "Remember that with some props and more dirt it will look better." so we all wait till we see that too

 

[Kazzan]

Keeps getting better and better

 

[Lt. of the tower]

Keeps getting better and better

Amen to that!

My only critiscm is the lack of **** and muck
