Community / Re: Do you regret buying the napoleonic war DLC?

« on: November 23, 2014, 06:29:39 pm »

This game was the best game I bought in years. Not because it was the perfect game, but because of the friends I made while playing it and all the fun I had with them. I also improved a lot with my modding, learnt a bit how to make models, etc.

Even though I rarely play anymore (I've been playing native far more often), NW will always have a little soft spot in my heart, right next to Battle Grounds II.

Actually, why not. And while we're at it, let's also add Serbia and Monte Negro as factions, with ninja kebab-removers as general class, acordeon playing infantry and berets.

Not that I know of, sorry mate.

You can always just download paint.net, then copy-paste each layer onto GIMP or photoshop. Best solution I can come up with.

Skins & OSP Resources / British Army Skins Templates -Make your own skins!

« on: November 12, 2014, 12:55:58 am »

Well, after a few months without making any skins, and receiving lots of PMs from people asking me to make some, or wanting me to help make their own, I've decided to provide the community with my "secrets".

Down at the bottom of this thread you will find a .rar file with British skin templates, for Rankers, Officers and Musicians, which will allow you to create your own regimental skins. They come in .pdn format, with layers separating each part of the uniform, so you can edit them individually, and feature different variations for you to choose from.

Furthermore, I'll also provide you with a set of Paint.net addons I use, which will come very handy for everyone attempting to make skins.

I would only like two things in return. Personally, I couldn't care less if you credit me or not, that's up to you, since I really hope you don't limit your work just to the templates themselves.

First thing: Try to be historically accurate, if you intend to be so. I'll gladly provide you with all the materials and sources you need.

Second thing: Be creative! With this pack, you have most of the texturing work done. You wont have to fiddle around much with the texture, so play around with other things! Learn modelling, or play around with openBRF stuff. You may also borrow any models you want from my skins (Check the 47th Early War, 43rd and 29th regiment skins).

Lol my unit wasn't invited to that event. We're kinda hated by the rest of the reenactment groups.

I don't think that's a 95th. The guy probably reenacts the Glengarry Light Infantry, which wore a very similar, if not identical uniform. Just like the KGL lights did.

There were three different pants wore by the British army during the War of 1812. First you have the white breeches with black gaiters, for parade use only. Then you have white trousers, which could be used with grey half gaiters, or black knee gaiters, either underneath or on top of the pants' sleeves. Finally, you had the grey trousers, which also could only be worn with grey half gaiters, either on top or underneath.

I made the 41st based on the reenactment group from Fort George. The uniform itself does look like 33rd's only with evenly spaced lacing, as opposed to paired groupings.

And the grey pants are also accurate, since the white trousers were replaced after the Peninsular campaign.

However, both white and gray would be accurate anyway, since Horse Guards wasn't quite adept in uniform distribution outside the British isles.

I love this game. I always end up coming back to it every month or so, playing realisms and the like.

That moment when I realize FSE stole the laurel wreath from Wikipedia to make the nation selection menus, just like in that picture.

I got a request confirmation and an email from the leader of the 51e, saying the other organizers approved the five of us.

I, however, was the only one who signed up via website. The others just sent their personal info to the 51e.
