[Ben Hussey]

just do ne with the standard hair and colour, for me

 

[Assyrian]

or this:

 

[Drewry]

good idea, i like the idea of white hair.  Very clever.

 

[Wulfgar]

Dude...that is awsome. When you tink usa bea releasin man?

 

[Assyrian]

yep, al those bastards had wigs so haha so it ain't a problem to sell a hat with a wig under it at merchants...

 

[An4Sh]

I repeat, can you make uniforms with a back pack for the regular soldiers?

 

[Drewry]

well the bolt pack is being replaced with a backpack so when that object is done it will appear.

 

[Ben Hussey]

thats a really good idea.

 

[Wulfgar]

Yah it is...So all you would really need to do is rename the bolts with backpack and a little editing. Not all soldiers used backpacks but like 40% did. I dont know but thats a real good idea.

Drewy if you need any conversation changes or troop changes just send me the items and I will put em on, unless you can already do that.

Drewry, you are a genius, I love you!
I'm a hardcore fan of the napoleonic era. May I dare offering you some advice on how to make those uniforms even better than they already are?

- About those white straps: Only grenadiers (the guys with the bearskin hats) got to wear two of them. One was for the ammunition bag, the other for the sabre. Since only grenadiers were carrying sabres, all the other troop types should have only one such strap.

- The gold strips you put on the arms are the rank insignia of non commissioned officers (corporals, sergeants). Officers and privates didn't have them.

- In case you plan to make an officer's uniform, make sure to give it gold epaulettes.

- For infantry, the distinctive colour on the coat tails should be white. Only the guard infantry had read tail turnbacks.

- Is it possible to make the collar a bit narrower?

- The front and back pieces of the bicorne hat should touch each other at the left and right corners.

- I trust you will also use swords that look more period-like? Napoleonic swords weren't very large, and they all were one-handers. Straight blades for heavy cavalry, curved blades for light cavalry and grenadiers.

Good info Apollon!

 

[Ben Hussey]

[Drewry]

Apollon amazing information, I will be sure to use those changes.  I spoke with yoshi and he is letting me use all of his stuff so yes, the amazing muskets from pirates mod will be seen here as well.  Apollon it would be great to have you on msn so in the future the uniforms will be perfect the first time - my msn is [email protected]

 

[Wulfgar]

Napolean + Muskets= Waterloo mod!

"Briliant!!!"

Angus!

 

[Ben Hussey]

how are you getting on with the non-model texture based side of the modding?

 

[Drewry]

Horibly, I need someone who is familiar with the mapping and scripting side of modding.

 

[Wulfgar]

(Jumps up)
Ooh Ooh!!!
Pick me pick me!!!

 

[Ben Hussey]

I'd really like to help, I love this time period and your models are great, i'm just a bit tied up at the moment.

 

[dark_shadow89]

[Wulfgar]

Erm...I'd like to help.
