Good. About time. May WoR fill its everlasting void.
A couple of smaller updates:
And a small reminder that our rowdy lot, the Lucky Dogs, have begun the transition into War of Rights as a the 8th VA Co.H. All are welcome to join us in this endeavour; especially if you enjoy light-RP and the such as we've always done. You do not need to own the game to join the company as of this moment, folk are free to sign up via the Company Tool and enlist their intents - just write me via PM first. Cheers!

Alright alright, I fixed it up.
I'm gon' ignore yer bleating next time because it's just plain old ugly on the eyes with all these quotes.
Fresh update rolling on in!
Update time, and another substantial one.
A few minor updates, although the latter is very intriguing. I've also added a short video of developer George Crecy advising and demonstrating a few maneuveurs with the 14th Brooklyn, skip to the five minute mark.

- Replaced the soldier icon with text that pops up each time you activate an action. Press T to temporarily activate the overview. An example of it can be seen above. It should also be much more reliable than the previous icon.
- Sometimes, players may have entered a state where they kept changing animations every frame which were very costly on the fps. This should no longer happen.
- When the player switched to the Inspector Camera or respawned and the camera faded to black, it would sometimes be the case that the camera wouldnt fade back in again. This is fixed.
- The backpacks for both sides have recieved some updates to their LODs.

Two questions:
What does the finished product of the game look like in terms of gameplay? Is it NW but with a lot more polish or will it have mechanics that regulate and impose rules on the actions of players? In essence, are they trying to create the most authentic look and feel possible or are they also looking for more arcadey gameplay (perhaps a different gamemode)?
What is the player count that they wish to achieve?
Tactically, small-scale engagements are pretty boring so I doubt that any decent depth to the game can be achieved without coming up with some arcadey mechanics or increasing the size of the battles. The reason why NW is still fairly popular seems to be because it has its arcadey melee combat.

If your first sentence isn't a quote from them but your own opinion then you must surely know a decent bit about the game to be able to say that. I just want to know what makes you think that.
Judging by the latest patch notes it looks like they are mainly creating the framework for the game. You can't do that unless you even vaguely know what kind of a game it's going to be.

Evening Andrew.
David Dire has just about hit it on the head; the developers are aiming for a comfortable blend of realism and gameplay, for example reloading is currently attached to a single button but goes through the complete motion as per Hardee's Manual 1855. You are correct with the assumption that they are working on the framework, to me this speaks volumes as to the professionalism and focus that is driving forward the game. New 'mechanics' and shiny things come every now and then, however the current road of development has them creating a stable platform. They will not be rushed, it seems, into releasing the much anticipated 'Skirmish Update'.
If you want information in a more specific manner I would advise reading through the developer diaries and to also keep a watch on the forums.
Hope it helps.

I know I shouldn't expect people to spoonfeed me out of my own lazyness, but for games where there is a decent bit of interaction with the developers on forums a lot of important information is sometimes shared in random posts in random threads. That's why the people that follow that development closely are usually the best to ask about the game as a whole.
I'll take a look at those diaries but I've a feeling that plenty of the information there might be wrong in some way. Kind of expected from games with on-going development.

Another update and field report, this one is rather thematic.

Hello Andrew,
I am one of the developers of War of Rights
If you have a look at the current ingame features, like Leift already said, we are aiming to include nearly the entire Hardee Drill manual.
For example, you can move in 3 different speeds right now.
Quick time, double quick and charge.
Besides that, you can raise your rifle to right-shoulder shift, to get your soldier more comfortable while getting a lower stamina reduction on the move.
Also, the soldier is fixed in the first person mode, to get a better "I am the soldier" feeling.
Then, we have a bunch of emotes, like Order Arms, Parade Rest and more. This is to encourage roleplay and a good way to build realism.
As you can see, we are aiming for a military simulation (while keeping an enjoyable gameplay) and no arcade style in any way.
I also recommend you that video here, a developer session with our own Drill Instructor. You get a good feeling, that the game is ment to be very realistic and authentic
Thank you Hinkel.
From what I've seen on these forums, you seem quite interested in the ACW and have been for a while. That's definitely assuring to me.
As to the video, as much as I like the inclusion of all of the needed animations for the drill, there doesn't seem to be anything that would enforce doing the drill and having the correct cooperation between the players. Even in real life, soldiers would have followed those orders because they would face serious repercussions for disobeying the orders of an authority. Soldiers, following orders, is the backbone of any military force and that is what creates the need for ranks higher than, say, Corporal. If the Corporals can control the men under their command then multiple Corporals can work together under another commander. Any sort of miliatry organization and chain of command is possible because of everybody doing as they are told.
Creating some sort of a system to punish disobedience and/or reward obedience seems like the go-to way of doing it but there could be other ways as well.
The work you put in to create a more authentic and immersive feel for the individual player is great becuase that will be the thing that makes the battle fun for the majority. I definitely like that that you guys are working hard on that.

TrustyJam;54984 said:January 28th - Update 38 (released)
- Upgraded to CRYENGINE 5.3 which should result in a more stable game. Full CRYENGINE 5.3 patchnotes at: http://docs.cryengine.com/display/SD...RYENGINE+5.3.0
- Updated revolvers: Colt 1847 Walker, 1849 Pocket, 1851 Navy & 1860 Army models and textures.
- Introduced a gameplay options tab containing FOV slider, mouse sensitivity & dynamic depth of field option.
- Updated the background of the menu with screenshots of the technical alpha (if you want a chance of having your screenshot featured in a future update, please make sure to submit your greatest screenshots over at: http://www.warofrightsforum.com/show...ots-amp-Videos ) as well as added two additional tracks to randomly be played.
- Began updating uniforms using a newly acquired cloth creation tool as well as adding a dirt layer on the various pieces of uniforms as they get updated (in an effort to get a more ragged/dirty looking rebel army). First updated uniform pieces are the shell jackets.
- Added dirty variants of trousers.
- Reverted drill camp map back to late summer edition.
- Added new bullet impact decals on wood surface types.
- Sound updates to soldier equipment when moving.
- Added alternative melee stance. When no bayonet is attached the soildier will use his weapon as a club while in melee mode (Placeholder sounds).
- Added new charge/sprint animations for normal mode & melee mode.
- Dynamic depth of field adapts faster now when changing focus (if still not agreeable to you, it can be disabled in the gameplay options menu section).
- Cloud movement made more realistic. Now, clouds will form and dissolve over time - this effect is most noticeable if you create a sped-up timelapse.
- Blurry terrain texture error fixed.
Known issues
- Expect new and exciting bugs as this update includes an engine upgrade. In order to report bugs, please visit: http://www.warofrightsforum.com/foru...ha-Bug-Reports . If you experience crashing we urge you to utilize our online error reporting tool at: https://warofrights.com/ErrorReporter
- Global illumination might bug out from time to time, causing shadowy squares/sections of the map that ought not to be in the shadow.
- Touch bending in use by certain vegetation objects (such as cornstalks) is currently not working.
- Terrain occlusion culling is currently not working as intended. It is leaving big, unrendered patches of the terrain when you move the camera at a fast rate.
- Trusty
Updates fresh off the press! Folk are working hard and direct towards the skirmish release.
Fancy Sweetroll;55215 said:Another update is now available

- The kneel reload animations have been improved.
- New leg/feet animations for movement in meleemode.
- Added extra dirty trouser variants.
