In Development - B&I 3.0 - old thread

[Grozni]

looks good where are the spawns on the map?

Right here...

[close]

And here are some lovely ladies for the British

[close]

I'm also working on the UI right now... development rumbles ever on!

Finally, some credit to the ladies of the era, nice work as well.

I couldn't decide on which marry line to add, so I'll just compile a list.

-Will they be armed with umbrellas?
-Will they get to construct hospitals?
-Will they be allowed to talk rude to officers and generals on the events?
-I can smell roleplay servers popping up

[kpetschulat]

Please fix those arms... They are far too separated from the bodies...

What weapons will they have?
Shotguns?

[Cara]

Keep up the good work Parrot Can't wait for it !

[hardcorefreestyleboy]

The womens arms are a bit too thin IMO

[Grozni]

Arms thickness is fine. And they are separated from body because its hard or impossible (I think) to have a female-only standing/walking animation. But with a couple of suitcases in her hands the pose would look very realistic lol.

That aside, these are most well done female dresses I've seen in M&B engine so far.

[hardcorefreestyleboy]

By the way guys I will probably host a small roleplay server for blood&iron when the new version comes out!

[Killington]

The arms look a titch curvy, as if the bones in the shoulder are missing, but that might just be me. Aside from that they look great, I hope they have a Penguin-style umbrella gun and maybe a bladed fan or other such lady-like weapons

[Grozni]

its just the angle of viewing, happens when you try to do low number of polygons on thin objects. But yea one axis could be fattened just a little bit.

[AeroNinja]

Me want this so bad.

Edit: Is there any chance when this comes out to Bring that imperial japanese soldier skin into NW? 

[Willhelm]

We give out permissions pretty easily so yeah probably.

[AeroNinja]

We give out permissions pretty easily so yeah probably.

Nice.

[ClearlyInvsible]

Actually, if those skins become OSP I could get started on that Boshin War mod I've always wanted to try.

[Parrot]

After a short spell of very little updates (I was away for a time) I'll let you guys know what we've done to the mod since January in one nice big post (I'll try not to forget anything, but this list is probably longer than it will appear here)..

Please remember that this is a list of everything we have done, it does not include planned features or stuff that isn't finished!

So here we go...

Blood and Iron - Age of Imperialism 3 - changes from January to August 2014

General/Behind the Scenes:
- Reorganised all the module brfs
   - Blood and Iron will now be very accessible to client-side modding. It is possible to reskin an entire faction without any complications present in NW
- Renamed all unit meshes
- Renamed the majority of materials and textures
- Rewrote the following module python files (by "rewrote" I don't mean started from scratch, I mean removed all NW/Native items and added all new B&I ones)
   - items.py
   - troops.py
   - scene_props.py
   - flora.py
   - skyboxes.py
   - music.py
   - sounds.py
- Replaced over 600 in-game sounds out of 890 (will revise/replace all 890 sounds)
   - Many of the new sounds are sounds which I have created for the mod
      Example:
         - 50 brand new gun (Chassepot, Martini-henry, etc only) shot sounds, each model will have their own unique set of 10 sounds
         - 10 new pistol shot sounds
         - 8 new bullet pass sounds, 5 new bullet impact on ground sounds
         - 10 new carbine shot sounds
         - 2 new shotgun shot sounds
         - new reload sounds for the pistol and rifles

- Added the music from my B&I 2 enhancement pack
- Added new skybox textures
- Added a new sun core/flare texture
- Added new scene border meshes and textures
- Revised and integrated Polished Landscapes (more information in the Scene Objects Section)
- Changed the font
- Reworked (actually a WIP) the user interface
   - When I say user interface, I don't mean "changed the menu background", I mean "I changed the whole fucking interface"
- Revised all the strings (the text you see on buttons etc)
- Revised the random maps for multiplayer
   Maps are now as follows: (with large, medium, raining, snowing, etc for each one)
      - Random Plain
      - Random Steppe
      - Random Snow
      - Random Snow Forest
      - Random American Desert
      - Random Eastern Desert
      - Random Alpine

Factions, troops, and weapons:
- Removed the Micro-factions and the 20th Century factions
- Added two new factions:
   The United States of America
      Contains:
         - 1 civilian class
         - 2 infantry classes
         - 1 elite infantry class
         - 1 light infantry class
         - 1 skirmisher class
         - 1 "native" cavalry class
         - 4 cavalry classes
         - 1 scout cavalry class
         - 2 artillery classes
         - 1 support troop class (with engineer, surgeon, and religious personal)
         - 1 marine infantry class
         - 1 general's staff class
   Imperial Japan
      Contains:
         - 1 "traditional" class
         - 3 infantry classes
         - 1 elite infantry class
         - 1 skirmish infantry class
         - 1 "traditional" cavalry class
         - 1 lancer class
         - 2 cavalry classes
         - 1 artillery class
         - 1 support troops class (with engineer, surgeon, and 2 agents)
         - 3 foreign marine classes
         - 1 general's staff class

- revised the order of troops and classes in the selection menu
   The order is now:
      Infantry
         1. Civilian classes
         2. Regular infantry classes
         3. Elite infantry classes
         4. Light infantry classes
         5. Skirmish infantry classes
      Specialists
         1. Artillery classes
         2. Secondary artillery classes
         3. Support classes (grouped as one)
         4. Marine infantry classes
         5. General's staff classes

- Revised and rewrote all troop class stats
   - troop stats are the same across all factions (save for faction specific units)
