Well that's certainly progress! I like the helmet model so far, could use some defining on the badge, but definitely good.
I'm sure even the best, like Docm, would agree that no modeler/texturer should be afraid to redo certain things. Unhappy with the result? Keep working on it! Fantastic so far, keep it up, and good luck.
I remaked badge already, but don't have screenshots, here badge is from photo of real helmet
Talk to the NaS guys, they may have a ship model that's appropriate for the era. Naval battles will be really cool if you can pull them off.
A big issue we had were the reloading animations. If you can manage to figure something out so that the Russian's old school muskets and the rest-of-the-world's new rifles don't look like they function exactly the same, you'd have a big chunk done.
It's going to be a lot of the shooting that balances the game, since we gave Russians pretty big melee stats but gave everyone else essentially nothing, which would force Russians to charge a lot and everyone else to run a lot, which in theory breaks up the shooting. That said, make sure Russia has one unit with some decent weaponry, just don't give them amazing stats in melee, and still nerf their shooting skills compared to those of the other factions. This way 1v1 engagements between regiments in a battle can be more balanced.
And some general advice: focus a lot on improving your modeling and texturing skills. A lot of people nowadays value the graphics side of these mods, since NW isn't necessarily the prettiest of games.Thank you for adwise, if I'll improve my texturing skill - I'll made better textures, I wanted to make 2048x2048 textures, but my computer is too old and can not handle it.
Factions/Units:Thank you, I think I made already my own list of units, and some of yours are there
Later, when I'll finish the list, I'll write al the units.Best of luck!Thank you!

Yes it's the only way UNLESS you are making a new modification not compatible with NW. B&I is a good example they made the mod from the source code and thus could rename the items in openBRF.Look at how mini-modifications replace old vanilla uniforms for new ones. Renaming the old meshes in openBRF to say _old and keeping the vanilla mesh name for the new uniforms works easily enough.
Thanks for your answer. But it's no way to make my own names for new meshes? I thought, in Blood and Iron mod were new names for all meshes.
But Ok, keeping the vanilla mesh names is good enough for me, if it's the onle way:)
For mini-modifications it has more restrictions if you want to use it being compatible with NW.
