SP Oriental Way of the Ninja, new mod that is desperately looking for help.

[s1l3ntsh4d0w89]

Well, I don't think I'll be able to implement complicated hand-to-hand combat. I do plan on creating hand-to-hand specific weapons so that there can be a Jujutsu skill. Rather than a dagger, some sets of "gloves" will be used, a clan might have these soldiers. They will attack extremely quickly, and brutally.

The animations for throwing stars, knives, darts, etc. can be recycled from the normal throwing knives and daggers animation. Also, I will throw in "caltrops" as a usable weapon. This will be great, I plan on implementing the formations that are in other mods, such as the wedge and line formations. "Caltrops" will be great for throwing into the middle and watching the group scatter.

 

[Wu-long]

Congratulate me on my first, of many I'm sure, very crappily textured weapons! Not a weapon that will be in the game I'm sure. It's just a generic sword.

yeah looks a bit euro as too the sword looks good but the hilt and handel may need some work

 

[s1l3ntsh4d0w89]

Yeah, I didn't bother fixing the bottom of the handle too much. I just left it the way it was on the UV map. Looking at it, I probably should have, but it was late at night and I was tired, so I didn't care.

I tried making an actual weapon for the mod, the model came out great, but he UV map was terrible, I have yet to go back to it.

Congratulations for your modding! You shall also look for the Yoshiboy's UV mapping tutorial, he's one of the best at texturing. He offers comprehensive smart steps for you to have a great UV map, so go ahead and search for his tut's. Keep it up!

 

[megalink]

here are a few weapons that may appear in the mod done by me.

Well, Samurai and Ninja's were not enemies, just different types of soldiers. I think I will incorporate Samurai into the soldier tree's. Right from the start, your new recruits will be able to upgrade to either a Samurai-esque warrior or a Ninja-esque warrior. Probably something like this.

                                                                                                    Recruit
                                                                                                /                    \
                                                                                  Basic Samurai        Basic Ninja
                                                                        /                \                            /                \
                                                      Samurai Archer  Samurai warrior      Ninja Archer        Ninja warrior
                                                                  |                      |                          |                        |
                                                      Better Archer        Better Warrior        Better Archer        Better Warrior

This is a basic outline of what soldier advancement tree might look like. Each Clan, well, I might change it from clans to kingdoms now that Samurai might be incorporated. Each kingdom will have specialties of their soldiers. For example, one kingdom might use hand-to-hand combat using special weapons, that attack really fast, some might use very slow but heavy weapons. We can't forget the female ninja's, but, these will be incorporated such as peasant women are.

Its a good outline for a tree but wouldnt it be a tad better if the ninja would break off after the third tier? Remember, ninjas are specialized and either start with their unique traits or are trained into learning it. Samurai is good none the less.

A quick question, will their be mounted units? seeing as Ninjas are tipically infantry based and samurai along simuliar lines.

Well, this was just a quick outline. I threw basic in there, just so you know where it would be heading. Mounted units, will be difficult. I'm sure I will implement them in some way. There are samurai who were mounted, I can research, I'm sure Ninja rode horses, just not for battle specifically. In a wide open field, such as most of the battlegrounds on Mount & Blade, some classes will have horses, others will not. It will be implemented as I go along, a lot of testing to see which ninja's will have horses, which ones will not, same with the samurai.

Also, thank you for throwing the signature in!

I can model swords and some simple weapons on Wings3d, I may be able to help. I'm not very good though and I can't do textures, nor can I put stuff into the game. I just model basic crap. I would link some pics of my work but I deleted the files and forgot their where-abouts. Just send me a real life picture of what you need (sword and such) and I will try my best when I get the chance.

No problem, anything with eastern influence i will happily throw in a banner to my sig ...

dont sweat it bro/sis, im not really that good myself. i model machinery/mechs and metalic based objects but im not even using the mod programs for that. if only i could find a way to transfer all those files into a mod ...

I read every page of this mod. Thumbs up s1l3ntsh4d0w89. I wish I had some modding skills but its just to hard for me to understand. If I could though I would be very glad to help. I have been waiting for someone to do a mod like this. You are the chosen one! Don't get discouraged my friend. When you fail try again like with the light bulb when it was trying to be invented. Now we have light becuse one man did not give up.

Amen ... though i could say (in regards that this may some problems) that there is a mod out there simuliar to this, though it takes a more "senguko" twist to things.

You do know some1 invented something better than Edison's light bulb BEFORE Edison right? 

So, Shadow how's production going?

you might want to use a more realistic styled kunai.

(oh, also i've been meaning to post here for a long time, chain weapons don't work in m&b, the best way i could think of is make a pistol weapon, with the model as a folded chain, with a stone throw animation for the shooting animation, and with the ammo as an extended chain, but then there's the rotation thing. . . . [i've tried before])

Well thats a downer ... would of loved to see Shal with a kusurigama ... i might as well start at it and make a 3D poster for the mod to cheer myself up.

Its nice to see someone really dedicated to their mod, even when they're not very experienced. To show my support, I made a quick sig for your mod. Not great, but it turned out okay.




And if you want it in your sig, just paste this code....

Sorry, I've been really busy with work lately. I got a new job, my work load for school has increased, everything has gotten a lot harder.

I'm working Swing shifts at a gas station monday night/ tuesday day and wednesday night/ thursday day, it sucks really bad. I haven't had much time to to much with the mod.
