SP Modern Fantasy World Of Steam

[Alan Q Smithee]

Will it have Johnny Fiveaces and the Zybourne Clock?

 

[zee666]

Looks like it's going to be alot of work but sounds like a smashing idea so go for it!

 

[PLANETX]

if I inadvertently offend someone please tell me and I will do my best to change it.

Your name insults me enough.

Ok, but if you want drivable vehicles that would be hard unless you want them horse-size.
You can pretty much forget about gunners.
Aircraft is completely impossible.
Even if the airships were castles it'd be hard to do if not impossible.
It's an okay idea but not practicalat allfor M&B.

Star Wars conquest has their own aircraft flight concept. for airships we could make them the same way you make boats but place them in sky maps and have some form of action to board other airships. We could make a turret animation where you are shooting a rotating or fixed gun without being able to move. the rules of mount and blade are more bendable then people think.

 

[PLANETX]

this is sounding more and more promising, ill post anyything i have that might help with ideas and stuff, and i love the idea of robotic mounts, maybe we could have a motorized faction? then maybe an all natural faction? a bit cliched but could be interesting

I wouldnt, having a whole motorized faction will distill their unique charm through mass replication.

And I'll ask this again- what exactly is rigging? Once I know I can probably start working this all out.

Rigging is basically just setting the model up with a skeleton so it can be moved around in game. Helmets, props and weapons dont use them, so if you wanted to avoid them for the moment then you could do something within those areas.

To make your ships fly above the city, you could fit them within some civilian headwear models (way way above the actual hat model, and a little off to one side). That way as the civilans walk around so will your airship (this is how I did birds). To have them playable is different and more complicated but there are ways.



Here's another preview (poorly put together in photoshop to save time)...

It's a "diving suit" style armour set built on the M&B samurai armour with an altered great winged helm.

I think for the Empire they should have more of a chrome armor, heavy chrome armor for the front line type soldiers or so. just a thought. I know Copper and rusted colors is steampunk but everything doesn't have to be so copper and rusted just giving you an Idea a good mod needs a variety.

 

[Lord Leoric of Wercheg]

Wow. This mod looks good. I'm looking forward to it.

 

[Therealdemon]

Actually I agree with PLANETX on the part that everything doesn't have to be copper/rusted, steampunk tends to be more colorful than that, even though it should be common. And chrome is alright as long there's not too much of it. The colors and/or symbols of the Empire needs to be present as well.

But the texturing I'm going to leave to the texturers as it's not my forte.

I think that indeed copper/rusted items is a bit too much, but it should remain in this kind of colours.

Yeah because I was thinking, because the empire is such a rich power that it would have more rare materials and a more recognizable outfit. After all it is more so representing the British. The British in many 100s of years  had a very colorful variety of uniforms for battle and dress. I had an idea for another faction, for the invading one that it should be more representing the Germans of WWI.

 

[The Stalker Hamster]

What? The evil war machines of death and destruction determined to kill every last human on this earth?

That invading faction?

War machines are old school story why not have just and invasion from a unknown faction that came from across the world to conquer new lands and enslaves the rest of the world. You need a super tough faction with large armies, so it isn't easy like most mods where you out number the invaders by the time they come in the game.

 

[The Stalker Hamster]

The Rusters.

隐藏

There is a disease that is ravishing the empire. No one knows where it has come from, and no one knows of a cure. It stunts the growth of ordinary people, making them appear mole-like. Unsurprisingly those inflicted have developed the nickname "molemen". These molemen are despised by the empire, are the weakest of creatures and live very short lives, intelligence of any great amount is rare in the molemen, and depression is rife.
The reds took pity on these creatures, and have helped them in their struggle. They tried everything, from drugs, to religion. Now they have turned to reconstruction. This was their undoing. The reds tried to reconstruct the bodies of the molemen with random scraps of metal and machinery parts, the result was an abomination, horrible to look at and deadly in its strength. Unfortunately this drove the rusters (as those who were given this treatment were nicknamed) mad, and now they have escaped and are hiding in the darkest places of the empire like animals, "converting" anyone who ventures too close.
Recently the reds have seen a change in their behaviour, they have become more aggresive, and sometimes they even act like they have some sort of leadership.....

The invading faction has already been made. The troop tree has been almost finished, textures by IYI.O.R.T. have been made, everything's happened.

 

[PLANETX]

Well what the heck. Against all odds, this mod is actually turning into something. This is probably the complete exception to the rule: Idea Threads always fail. Kudo's to you guys for actually turning it into something!

Well if you put you mind to it, and lots of hard work you can accomplish any task to the acception of what a human can do. But humans can do more then most people think.

 

[Redfyre]

Wow. I had never heard of "Steampunk" previously until now.
I must say I am now highly intrigued FYI.

Yes. I learn best through hands on stuff and we are just jumping into hands-on exercises in my classes now.

all I know how to do is make realistic 3D trailers and models with Autodesk Maya unlimited 2009 and I have tons of other programs I use. I am into the media. But working on this mods trailer will be a blast!

 

[Prowlingbow]

No one's going to make it for you, but on the bright side modding isn't all that hard.

ha i beg to differ

Oh well as of now I have barely any experience coding anything more than a simple program using Dev C++ or making a fairly simple game using Gamemaker 7.

 

[PLANETX]

here's a little secret. If you are a student you only have to pay $400 for Maya unlimited 2009 instead of $6,322.89
