North and South - First Manassas 1.0 [in progress]

[hardcorefreestyleboy]

Here is an analogy about food

If you're still confused, keep reading! I hope this can help explain it a little better...

Think of North and South 1.0 as a nice, fruity, juicy, apple pie. Mmmm. We all have seen American Pie, and we can't wait to put the Module in the Warband Directory.

So right now, North and South looks something like this:


A pre-oven pie. Cold and no hole in it; you could already do certain things with it, but it wouldn't be so glorious and a big mess. Now for the first beta, the Union Army had a slice of that pre-oven pie,and said to us "U WOT M8 IT AINT WARM AND I CANT INSTALL MY FILES". So the team went back to work, put a hole with their fingers in it and put it in the oven for a bit.

Now some of you guys have seen these people with slices of the pie, and have instantly thought "they have good time with pie", without noticing that the pie that they have is cold and shit. The North and South team wants to give you guys a good time with a warm and juicy pie that looks like this:

Hello Hinkel,

 I am a Captain in the 8th Virginia regiment in the Dixieland Army. I am currently talking to communicate with you through BrigGen Whetzel (he has been sending you steam messages) about trying to get a Unit In game for our Regiment. We are willing to donate money and our group has been active within the DA since October of 2014. Is there any way representatives from our Regiment can chat with you, because we may be even willing to change our name back to the 8th Alabama to get the "Emerald Guards" Uniform. Let me know if we can chat!

Thanks,
MrMan- Captain of the 8thVA

Played 1.0 for the first time today and my mind was blown because of  how good it looked!

[Colonel Francis]

I've been playing North and South Beta 1.0 since it was in closed beta. Even when it was first on the Union Army Server, and I never had a problem with the mod. Acted like any other mod when it came play time.Such as the no crashing, no freezing, or the long delays in movement. However, with the new release of the newer version of the beta, the mod as been hell to play with.

Today was the first official event in the Dixieland Army, with a good attendance around 130 people. First time that my regiment (5th Georgia Volunteers) would get to use our skins. Pretty excited, and the fact that I was offline for two days, so I was eager to enjoy the 1.0. However, after I got the balance with the teams situated, I tried joining the server(Crashed while changing maps), and  every time I tried to log into the several, with the map of Manassas Day, it crashed. I've tried 7 times to log into the server, and it crashed. So, I figured it was the map. As soon it changed to the next map, Side of Town, I'd join it. For a couple of mins, it freezes, I crash. Or, the Uniforms turn black, and a red text pops up in the lower left corner. The text reads " Unable to open texture file *Texture name* Modules/North and South(EDX-1)". After that, the games crashes because all the uniforms turn black. And of course there's other ways the game crashes like, freezing while trying to move, hell even looking around, ect. Im not saying I have a bad computer, I can usually run Arma two on high graphics and alot of other games. So I really don't know where the problems lies.

I turned down my graphics, hoping that would relieve it. Nothing, I've reinstalled the mod, nothing, Ive also reinstalled Mount and Blade: Warband nothing. If you guys know anything regarding how I can simply enjoy a event without crashing every 5mins, that would be awesome.

(Crashed while changing maps)

I got this a lot. My frames really dropped and then I crashed every time a new map was introduced, and to a lesser extent during the new rounds. I thought it was the sheer amount of people and need to run with that many people on, but I encountered similar when we held our briefing post-game on the 1.0 server with approx 15 guys and experienced the same near the end of it.
