Modifications / Individual pants
« on: March 09, 2014, 09:09:13 pm »
Hey, so I was wondering how I would go about making pants linked to individual units in openBrf. When I changed French Infantry pants in mmfrenchuniforms, all of the English pants were changed as well, which I did not want. I was wondering if there was a way to make each set of pants linked to an individual unit (I imagine just have it be 45_Ranker.3 orwhatever, but then I also assume you would have to rig it or something).

    About


    The Prussian Army Saturday European and North American linebattle is a linebattle event meant for mature regiments and players looking for an event run by experienced admin, strictly enforced rules, and a play style that is unique (double ranked lines). The linebattle will focus on infantry fighting in double ranks, as well as specialist units to support them. All of the regiments attending and the members of said regiments will be expected to follow all of the rules of the linebattle, and not obeying with rules will result in first slays, and then if needed, bans. Regiment leaders will be expected to show up to the linebattle administration meeting prior to the event to get the server name and password The event will take place at:

    When: 8 pm EST
    Where: The 13te Rifles server


    Linebattle Administration and Information


    TeamSpeak: ts3.1stepi.com

    Admins:

    Gunny
    Sivart
    Walko
    Patriot

    Regiment leaders will be expected to show up to the teamspeak 10 minutes before an event in order to receive the server name and password. Regiments that are not present at the administration meeting will not receive the server info. A list of assisting admins, will be added later, as more admins will be taken on to help everything run smooth.

    The Linebattle will be best of three maps, with each map being the best of two. We also plan to have special events such as a modified conquest battle thrown into the event every once in a while to spice things up.


    Rules:

    General Rules and Expectations:

    • The officers of a regiment are responsible for their regiment. Their men are their responsibility.

    • All regiments must agree that they understand and intend to follow the event rules before they are allowed to attend.
    • Violation of any rules will result in a slay on the first offense.

    • If either side has 3 soldiers or less alive, the rules governing combat may be ignored in order to expedite an end to the round.
    • Do not delay the end of a round.

    • Team Killing will not be tolerated at any time during the event, for any reason.
    • There is no firing out of formation or in the charge.





    Line Infantry


    • Lines of more than 8 musket armed soldiers must fight in two ranks.

    • Infantry units may only spawn with muskets (cavalry or infantry) or musketoons.  If an infantryman finds a rifle, he may use, but may not spawn with it.
    • Soldiers should only fire their muskets while in a properly spaced line formation
                         -One space is the width of your avatar on screen
                        -Infantry should have less than 1 space between them if in two ranks, and no space between them if in one rank
    .
    • Anyone who fires out of formation and scores a kill may be immediately slain, and then slain again at the start of the following round

    • Persistent firing out of formation may result in a temporary or permanent ban
    • If only 2 men remain in a line, they must immediately join a friendly line OR charge directly toward their enemy into melee

    • If an Infantry regiment splits into two separate lines during battle, both lines must fight in two ranks regardless of numbers.





    Skirmishers/Light Infantry


    • Skirmisher units may never exceed 12 soldiers (This is including the officer).

    • Spacing for light infantry and rifles is as follows:

                -Light Infantry: 3 paces
                -Riflemen: 5 paces
    • Skirmishers (riflemen or light infantry) may crouch at any time



    Cavalry


    • Cavalry units may never exceed 13 soldiers (with a maximum of two officers).

    • Cavalry may fire muskets from horseback, but must be in a line as with Infantry.
    • Unhorsed/dismounted Cavalry are considered Line Infantry.

    • Cavalry must stay together and fight as a cohesive group. Lone cavalry who are fighting far from the rest of their unit may be slain for ramboing.


    Artillery

    • Each faction is allowed 2 guns (cannon, howitzer, or mortar). They may not have 2 of the same type of gun. 2 rockets count as 1 gun.

    • The artillery regiment is made up of 10 men divided as seen fit (For example you could have 2 cannoneers and 8 guards)
    • Artillery Bodyguards may choose Infantry, Skirmisher, or Engineer classes.

    • Artillery Bodyguards may kneel and fire as long as they are within 5 paces of an active cannon.

    Community / Let's talk about double ranks
    « on: February 25, 2014, 07:59:05 pm »
    So, as many of you know, a very small part of the community fights battles in double ranks, while the majority of the community uses a single column. I am curious to see why this is, as double ranks in my opinion, offers a much more rich style of gameplay. In my opinion I think double ranks are better because:



    1. It is more historically accurate

    2. It makes combat much deadlier, faster and more tactical

    3. Makes it so a regiment actually has to train in formations to be able to fight efficiently

    4. It looks really neat



    Those are simply my thoughts, I would love to hear yours! Play nice to one another and respect others style of play!  :)

    Historical Discussion / A question on uniforms
    « on: January 16, 2014, 11:02:35 pm »
    So just out of curiosity, does anyone know roughly what percentage of soldiers in:

    1. The continental Army

    2. The confederate Army

    Had the "correct" uniform of the unit they were attached to? For example, how many continental soldiers had uniforms akin to the English or French? And how many soldiers from the CSA wore the standard uniform? Thanks!

    Suggestions & Bug Reports / Improve Bracing
    « on: December 19, 2013, 05:44:47 pm »
    Title says it all, improve the range of bracing so that it will outreach a sword. Personally I think this will make fighting prepared infantry harder for cavalry; however, I think maybe a counter balance to make cavalry fighting unprepared infantry might help as well.

    Thoughts?

    Musketeer Uniforms
    Musketeer Ranker
    The Coat
    The basic uniform of the Line infantry of the Prussian army consisted of a dark blue coat, with lapels, collars, and cuffs in the regional color (ex. White for Pommeriania). This 'kollet' coat began being issued at the end of 1807, and was more functional then previous coats. The front of the coat had two rows of brass buttons.  The turnbacks of the coat were red for all regiments.

    The Shako
    For headgear, the Prussian line infantry wore a black shako, with a white ring on top, with plumes in the regimental color (they were only worn on parades). On campaign it was worn with an oilskin cover. The shako had a black chin strap.

    The Knapsack
    All Prussian infantrymen carried a light brown calfskin knapsack, and a grey linen bread bag, which was fixed on a linen strap hanging below the knapsack.


    Breeches
    The Prussian army had two kinds of breeches, summer and winter. The summer breeches were white, and were worn over the gaiters.  The winter  breeches were a middle grey color, that would be tucked into gaiters right above the knee.

    Boots And Gaiters
    The gaiters were dark grey, and went up to about knee length. The gaiters were worn over the breeches.



    Other Parts of the Uniform

    The Great Coat
    Each Prussian infantryman was also given a great coat for winter weather, this coat was worn over the shoulder when not in use, and was used to store items, and to block sabre cuts.  A piece of leather cloth was used to wrap around the roll to prevent it from falling apart.


    ^Prussian Infantryman wearing his great coat



    Collars, Cuffs, and Shoulder Straps
    Each one of the Prussian infantry regiments was defined by the color if it's cuffs and collar, which defined it's province, and it's should straps to represent regimental seniority within a region. Each province had it's own color, shown here:


    Crossbelts
    Each Prussian infantryman had two white crossbelts, one on each shoulder. The belt over the right shoulder carried the soldiers short sword. The left should carried the cartridge pouch.

    The Cartridge Pouch
    THe cartridge pouch was made of leather and contained 60 rounds of ammunition. There was a large brass badge on the center (varied from regiment to regiment).

    The Short Sword
    The short sword was worn over the left shoulder, and hung on the right hip. It was only issues during campaign. The sword had a brass hilt with a black grip. The scabbard was black weather with brass fittings. Around the hit was a knot that distinguished the company in the regiment.


    Sword Knot Company Distinctions:





    Musketeer Unteroffizier
    The Unteroffiziers of the line infantry regiments were the equivalent to modern day sergeants. It was the unteroffizier's duty to stand behind the triple ranked infantry line and correct the spacings, and to keep the men in line. The Unteroffiziers of the line infantry wore uniforms that were very similar to the infantry, but were slightly more immaculate. The biggest changes were:


    Unteroffizier in the 2nd Silesian (Nr 12) Infantry Regiment



    Shako
    The Unteroffizier's shako h-ad a gold band on the top, instead of a white band.This was done to be able to identify the unteroffizier from the rankers; however, since in battle the oilskin cover was worn over the shako, the gold band would only be seen on parade

    Collar and Cuffs
    The NCO's collar and cuffs were also lined with gold. Unlike the shako, this could be seen in battle, and would distinguish NCO's from rankers of the regiment.

    Boots
    NCO's also got to wear more immaculate marching boots,similar to those of officers


    Two more Views of Silesian Unteroffizers

    The Rifled Carbine
    The NCO on the right is carrying a 1787 pattern fusilier musket, a more accurate rifled musket.

    The NCO belt
    Infantry NCO's in addition to the crossbelts, also wore a white belt; however, this belt has also been seen on rankers of the musketeers, so it is unconfirmed if it was exclusively given to NCO's.

    The Cane
    Not seen here, infantry Felbwebels were also equipped with canes for disciplinary action. The Cane was looped from the second button of the Kollet.

    Other Differences
    Senior NCO's also carried an officers sword and sword knot.  NCO's in colour guards were armed with a pike
     




    Musketeer Junior Officer
    The Junior officers of the musketeer battalions were the men in charge on the company level of the battalions. A kapitan would be in charge of each company, and a senior (PremierLeutnant) would be in charge of one of the company's first division (zug) and another leutnant would be in charge of the second.

    The Coat
    The coat of the officers was almost identical to that of the rankers, the dark blue double breasted Kollet, with two rows of eight yellow metal buttons.  The front of the Kollet was cut to the waist, at the rear there were two short tails, which were knee length fot officers.

    The Shako
    This was made of black felt and was 7in (17.8cm)  high.  The circumference at the top measured 22 in (55.8cm).  The upper edge was trimmed in gold for NCO's and officers and white for all other ranks.  A black leather peak was attached. The black leather chinstrap was 3/4in (1.9cm) wide.  A black and white (black & silver for officers) circular pompom was affixed to the top of the shako.  Officers also  had a double gold chain affixed at the front to the pompom, drawn down and around the sides to be held by two heraldic gold eagles (one each side).

    The Knapsack
    On campaign the officers wore knapsacks identical to that of the rankers of the regiment.

    Breeches
    Legwear consisted of  black/grey flecked long trousers which had 18 brass or German silver buttons one inch apart along the outside seams, the buttoned over edge of which was piped in red. The trouser was worn over the boots  In 1815 the trousers were modified by removing the buttons and placing a one inch wide red stripe either side of the piping.

    Boots And Gaiters
    The officers wore either Gaiters like the men did, or Marching boots, either tucked in from the breaches, or worn over.



    The Sash
    Around the waist was worn the officers sash. This was Silver with two black  silk stripes worked into it.  The silver tassels which were hung from the left hip were flecked with black


    The Interimsrock and Uberrock
    Officers were also entitled to wear a blue, single-breasted coat known as an 'Interimsrock', and a light-grey double-breasted overcoat, the 'Uberrock', with two rows of buttons, six in each side on the breast
    The Sword
     The sword was attached a silver and black mixed sword knot. Infantry officers all carried identical swords, they were straight bladed sabres, a different model then used by the cavalry. Some Infantry officers have also been seen using light cavalry sabres, as seen on the left.


    The Epaulettes
    Shoulder straps coloured as for the rank and file, piped in red and decorated with black trimmed silver lace were worn up until mid 1814, when epaulettes were introduced.  The epaulettes were topped as the shoulder strap, with the metal crescent and fringe being in the button colour.

    -The oilskin cover on the Shako
    -The shoulder Straps have not yet been replaced by Epaulettes

    Note the:

    -Greatcoat worn over the shoulder in the fashion of a ranker
    -The oilskin shako cover
    -The canteen of the ranker



    Line Infantry Regiment Officers
    The Senior officers of a line infantry were the Major, Oberstleutnant, and the Oberst. These officers wore uniforms similar to the junior officers; however, they had a few key differences: 1. These officers were almost always mounted. 2. The senior officers choice of headgear was slightly different from the junior officer shako.

    The Coat
    The Senior officers wore the basic infantry Kollet with attached Epaulette.

    The Cap
    Officers had the choice between the officer shako and a simple felt cap.

    Breeches
    Senior officers wore the same pants as junior officers.

    Boots
    Since they were always mounted, senior officers wore black leather riding boots.

    The Epaulettes
    Shoulder straps coloured as for the rank and file, piped in red and decorated with black trimmed silver lace were worn up until mid 1814, when epaulettes were introduced.  The epaulettes were topped as the shoulder strap, with the metal crescent and fringe being in the button colour.





    Fusilier Uniforms
    The Fusiliers were the third battalion of all Prussian line infantry regiments. They served as light infantry, being able to skirmish when the time called for it. The Fusiliers were selected from the smallest and most agile of the Prussian line infantry. The Fusilier's uniforms were almost identical to that of the line infantry except for black crossbelts instead of white ones.

    Fusilier Ranker

    The Coat
    The fusiliers, like the line infantry wore the short Kollet jacket, double breasted with eight brass buttons per side.

    The Shako
    The Shako of the line infantry was also that of the Fusiliers, worn with an oilskin cover on campaign.

    The Knapsack
    All Prussian infantrymen carried a light brown calfskin knapsack, and a grey linen bread bag, which was fixed on a linen strap hanging below the knapsack.


    Breeches
    like the infantry Fusiliers wore white/grey breeches.

    Boots And Gaiters
    The gaiters were dark grey, and went up to about knee length. The gaiters were worn over the breeches.

    Crossbelts
    Each Prussian infantryman had two white crossbelts, one on each shoulder. The belt over the right shoulder carried the soldiers short sword. The left should carried the cartridge pouch. The only difference in uniform between the line and the fusiliers is that they used black crossbelts instead of white.


    Two Additional Views of Fusiliers




    Fusilier Unteroffizier
    The Unteroffiziers of the fusilier battalions were the equivalent to modern day sergeants. It was the unteroffizier's duty to stand behind the triple ranked infantry line and correct the spacings, and to keep the men in line. The Unteroffiziers of the line infantry wore uniforms that were very similar to the infantry, but were slightly more immaculate. The unteroffiziers also helped direct the fire of their squads with their rifles. The biggest changes were:
    The Coat
    The basic uniform of the Line infantry of the Prussian army consisted of a dark blue coat, with lapels, collars, and cuffs in the regional color (ex. White for Pommeriania). Like all line infantrymen, the unteroffiziers of the Fusiliers also wore the Kollet, the only difference between the Kollet of the unteroffizier and the ranker was the cuffs and colar. The Kollet of the Fusilier NCO was identical to that of a musketeer battalion NCO.

    Shako
    The Unteroffizier's shako h-ad a gold band on the top, instead of a white band.This was done to be able to identify the unteroffizier from the rankers; however, since in battle the oilskin cover was worn over the shako, the gold band would only be seen on parade

    Collar and Cuffs
    The NCO's collar and cuffs were also lined with gold. Unlike the shako, this could be seen in battle, and would distinguish NCO's from rankers of the regiment.

    Boots
    NCO's also got to wear more immaculate marching boots,similar to those of officers

    The Rifled Musket and Cartridge Pouch
    Fusilier NCOs were equipped with Rifles, which made them more accurate then the rankers of the regiment. These rifles were rather short, and were generally black in color. In addition to the rifle to NCOs often carried their cartridge pouches on their front, on the NCO belt. This is not pictured here, but can be seen on the other picture of the fusilier NCO.

    Fusilier Junior Officer
    The Junior officers of the Fusilier battalions were the men in charge on the company level of the battalions. A kapitan would be in charge of each company, and a senior (PremierLeutnant) would be in charge of one of the company's first division (zug) and another leutnant would be in charge of the second. The junior officers would lead their men when they were in skirmish order.

    The Coat
    The Coat of the Fusiliers was the exact same as the line.

    The Shako
    This was made of black felt and was 7in (17.8cm)  high.  The circumference at the top measured 22 in (55.8cm).  The upper edge was trimmed in gold for NCO's and officers and white for all other ranks.  A black leather peak was attached. The black leather chinstrap was 3/4in (1.9cm) wide.  A black and white (black & silver for officers) circular pompom was affixed to the top of the shako.  Officers also  had a double gold chain affixed at the front to the pompom, drawn down and around the sides to be held by two heraldic gold eagles (one each side).

    The Knapsack
    On campaign the officers wore knapsacks identical to that of the rankers of the regiment.

    Breeches
    Legwear consisted of  black/grey flecked long trousers which had 18 brass or German silver buttons one inch apart along the outside seams, the buttoned over edge of which was piped in red. The trouser was worn over the boots  In 1815 the trousers were modified by removing the buttons and placing a one inch wide red stripe either side of the piping.

    Boots And Gaiters
    The officers wore either Gaiters like the men did, or Marching boots, either tucked in from the breaches, or worn over.
    The Sash
    Around the waist was worn the officers sash. This was Silver with two black  silk stripes worked into it.  The silver tassels which were hung from the left hip were flecked with black

    Modifications / Prussian Skin Request

    Hiya, two requests here...

    1. wondering if it's possible to make the Prussian Freikorps into Fusiliers? Basically the fusilier uniform is exactly the same as the 8th Brandenburgish, except the straps are black instead of white. You could probably use the artillery ranker equipment for it.

    Picture for reference:


    2. Could someone give the 8th Brandenburgish officer the 23rd officer's shako instead of the cap?
