Props, weapons, armor: make a request

[eric virgo]

Yep.. I am having the same problem. The unofficial editor does not work with the new version.

It crashes like... above!

 

[Aqtai]

More walls, buildings and interior furniture for scenes would be great.

I second that!

I think this error is actually because jik has several models that have the same mesh name like: falchion
I had the same error in 7.11 and I renamed the falchion to falchion_b using the brfview tool.

Hi, if you still want a meshing challenge, how about some ancient siege guns/engines to be used as props in my 'capture the xyz' missions? These are based on the capture nobleman quest, but I'm making an unkillable troop type as @convoy commander@ and once you capture him, you get to look at the big shiny cannon / hulking war engines and say @oh goody, Yaroglek WILL be pleased!@

If somebody is up to it, what I would really like to see in the game is some woden palisade walls, It wouldn't have to be something fancy, but one piece of modular wall with a place you could stand would be perfect, we could just put a bunch of them and they could go around certain towns, somehow I see some of those vaiger towns with pallisade walls rather then stone. It would also be a big help to modders.

Anybody feel like trying?
One piece of modular wall with standing platform,

And if somebody is really up to it,
A gatehouse and tower

I could make the wall if you could get someone to make the BO collision.

I could make the wall if you could get someone to make the BO collision.

i'll be happy to do that.

 

[jik]

Ok.

I'll make 3 wall types:
1 - GateHouse (well you have to have a door right? I will try to make this)
2 - wall straight
3 - wall curved (90 degrees for a corner, or do you want square corners?)

From the pics it looks to be about 12 feet tall (or 2 times the hieght of a man), with the platforms half way up. I guess that on the outside (the bottom pic) is mostly rock?

After you confirm this I'll make the wall pieces.

 

[smaug_the_dragon]

Up to you, I think if we had these it would be widely used on a variety of mods. The pics are actually two differnt types of walls but both together as you suggested would be great. Stone base with a wooden wall, aproxemetly twice the hight of a man. Wow thanks a bunch.

 

[crustyrustyaphid]

They'd probably use about 9 ft. of tree and make the stone wall 4 ft. tall. That's my thoughts anyways...


Anyone wanna make a throwing weapon of disembodied heads?

 

[Ben Hussey]

jik are you saying youll make wooden pallisade walls? (*thumps head to make sure ears are working*)
amazing, I love people in this modding community, thats just what I need!

 

[Ben Hussey]

I dont suppose that someone could make this for 1066, Norman Invasion?
A scramasax
heres a pic...

nb. do you mind me using the pallisade walls as well? I been craving one of them since stonewalled city centres came out ruining the historical accuracy of my mod

 

[jik]

if that's roughly the size of a knife, ya I can make that. If not I'd need to know the aprox. length.

And yes, anyone can use any object/item I make, as long as they give credit.

I'll get on it.

 

[jik]

one quick question on the structure of the palisade... should I make individual logs? To me this would look nicer, but if you were to use this in a battle, it would be a lot of wasted polies... I have a texture I could use for a solid wall. I will start on that first.

 

[smaug_the_dragon]

Your right individual logs would look nice, but chances are that this will be used mostly on large maps like cities or battles, so if probably be better for a low poly version

Oh and make sure that if somone is standing on the platform that they can shoot a bow over the top, either that or make crenelations in the wood.

I've never seen a palisade with crenelations.

To get a good field of fire, the wall should be at most 1 unit high above the platform - just above waist high. Otherwise it's hard to get an angle on the enemy as they get close to the wall.

 

[jik]

here's a 1st draft.

On the platform, the wall come up just past the waste, but the BO collisions could exclude the "spikes" at the top. The rock base is a seperate mesh. I read somewhere that you can make combinable objects using _a, _b, _c etc. in the names, but I can join them if you want.



I can easily make this a curved piece (90 degree corner), or should I aim for a squared corner/tower thing? I can do both, so maybe that's what I'll do (since the corner is a simple bend)

any suggestions at this point?

 

[fisheye]

You could use any of the below existing textures:

soft_stone

ground_stone

limestone

wall3

for the rocks part.

Looking through the whole thread, I haven't seen anything for studded leather amors! I was wondering if someone could make something in the vein of braveheart, which would be awesome

I gotta say though, I havent checked all the mods in progress to see if anyone has done something like that. Great work all you artists

[edit] I think what would be cool is if this armor offered more protection than normal leather, but also more freedom of movement (less weight, more speed) than heavier, more protective armors.

 

[smaug_the_dragon]

wow looks great jik, thanks for going to the effort, Yeah I agree a small tower would be better then a curved section. Think of the pallisade tower off of Age of empires II age of kings, it was just a square version of your wall, mabye put one hole in one side, so we can put a ramp or ladder to it.

Again thanks alot for doing this.
