[NW][M] War of 1812: [Downloads]

[usnavy30]

Dropbox now has current module folder and changelog present to make development more expedient.
Texture updates for uniforms, adding sergeant sashes for US sergeant classes/giving US sergeant classes ranker equipment than color sgt. and overall improving the quality of the module. Canadian Provincial Light Dragoons and 7th New York Dragoons bot troops added for AI bots and Commander Battle mode.

British Light Infantry AI bot now named Voltigeurs Canadiens for consistency.
British Glengarry Light Infantry AI bot now named just Glengarry Light Infantry. Changed Commander Battle mode related description name from Glengarry Light Infantry to Designated Marksmen for consistency.

Blitz has been working on the textures to give the British foot regiments their backpack and canteen regiment numbers.

Fixable bayonets work, but I found out the OSP code is provided as-is so there are certain weapons and situations to not press b to fix bayonets, and I do not want to lay down why because it is out of sight out of mind of regular players, I only just now rediscovered some problems while going back to launch Blood & Iron and North & South to test fix bayonets. What this means I will make a list of troops that use the feature and that do not, the troops that do not use the fix bayonet feature I highly advise to not press b with or else.
Bots will use the bayonted muskets still opposite to playable troops.

Natives may be moved for Phase II release if we cannot get them to work properly with the cover head item flag...yet. Looking into material fix to seek to solve this issue. We do not want customizable accessories on native 'hats' if possible.

[Crescent Glow]

Sounds like the mod is coming along nicely.

[BSM 'Shut up' Williams]

I see that on the 60th sergeant you moved the 3 stripes down a little. Keep it up!

You mean this unit?

Spoiler

[close]

That's the Glengarry 2nd Militia Battalion, Sergeant

I took your advice and moved all the sergeants stripes down a bit to avoid the texture distortion. The unit you mentioned is the 2nd Glengarry militia battalion not the 60th.

Oh right!

Good job on the SGT Stripes!

Keep up the amazing work!

[usnavy30]

Natives finally coming along more for the faces

Spoiler

[close]

Most likely will not be customizable in character creation so we do not have natives wearing monocles and facial hair for the time period.

Buck 'n Ball will be experimented with.

Nice job

Here's an idea, to solve all the fucking "fix bayonet problems..." Just make all muskets have bayonets, and scratch the fix/unfix bayonet feature. It's totally pointless, as all regular troops of the time went into battle with bayonets already attached. Only units that should not have bayonets would be irregular militia units.

[usnavy30]

I code by the book, the feature is up to the mod team and how to implement it. I acknowledge your point, however.

Why so Angry Petschie.... Navy does what he can and as he said itis up to the Lead dev. and if they want it like that just to make it more dynamic then there is not much we can do to stop it...   

[kpetschulat]

The fix bayonet mechanic is so pointless to me in mods. Every mod has to have it. This time period, like I said, infantry went into battle with bayonets equipped. Fix/infix is just buggy and causes problems. Make it easier on yourselves [the devs] and can the feature.

Its already been decided it might be pointless to others but not for everyone in the community. You got the point about infantry went to battle with bayonets fixed so its whether you like it or not, nothings gonna change from what i promised from the start that Fixed/Unfixed bayonet feature will be implemented. Unless everyone from the community finds the feature an annoyance during any LB events in the future once the mod is out then we will remove the feature and stick to Infantry with fixed bayonets and Militia/Riflemen etc.. Unfixed Bayonet.
*Edited* Sorry i was using my phone to reply. Any further questions about the mod please PM me

[ClearlyInvsible]

Er, Charles, quick question. How come you never use periods or commas or... any punctuation at all?

I can understand if english isn't your first language, but it makes your posts a bit odd to read.

This community is built on pointless fluff now, so don't be surprised. It is pretty damn hard to think up features for a mod set between 1700 and 1850 because the NW DLC nails the basic elements of gameplay and comes with all the needed bells and whistles.

Personally, I don't care either way if pointy sticks can or cannot be added to my one shot cannon gun. I'm more upset my Native Americans can't wear a stylish monacle myself.

[usnavy30]

The good thing is that if it is desired by the whole community to undo the fix bayonets feature I can do that very easily. What is changed I can revert coding wise if necessary. So as long as it is actively developed we can make reverts in the future.

[SeanBeansShako]

If it isn't broke, don't fix it I say :p.
