Does anyone point out mannequins problem when reseting the map? If they are broken, they stay on the ground 

which prop is that exactly?

I don't really see the point in adding new units or factions, even if it's completely community made, it won't add something really new, people can install skins already from the 1000 mods if they want to to spice up the game, it would not add something special or new to the expansion.

I would say Napolonic Wars is pretty feature complete as it is, i don't think there are any real features we can add that will change the game spectacularly.  Unless you guys can think of some?

Instead I decided that the patch should focus mostly on fixing things that are already there. Our list is getting already quite long and were still fixing new things every day.

In light of things the best thing would be a complete patch that is only server side. meaning servers can be updated. to be more secure against cheaters, more robust, and better running. whilst not forcing anyone to update.
Things like the betty mod, naked people, spamming props, its all fixed, ship health problems, crashing bugs like the flags.. and some cheats will be impossible.. it would actually make the game better.

Light infantry for more nations would be good. But yeah fixes are indeed more important.

After discussion with the FSE team, we are looking into a patch for NW.   The general idea arose to patch NW for another perhaps last time.  The idea is to squash any exploits, bugs and other things that have been plaguing the game for ages
 

So, this thread is for you all to help point out said bugs, and if there are any fixes that you made, or where to find them.   if we can get  all the various fixes together, we can update the game that will hopefully make sure it lasts longer while not being plagued with cheaters or annoying bugs. 




because this is a serious thread, please don't fill it with "this should of been done years ago"  or things like that.   What has been done is done.  I will just remove those comments.   So, if you would like to help out, please post about the issues above.  Even if you don't know how to fix a bug, or where the bug is in the code, you can still post to let us know about it. 

Another subject to discuss  is about mods.   There have been some good mods over the years.  If there is a mod everyone loves and is good, we may be able to put it in the base game with the authors consent.  You would be given credit for your work.

The more you help out, the better and faster this will go.   The more people that see this, the better. 

There may be some balance changes as well.(depends.)  So i will make another thread and link to it.  talk about balance to your hearts content in that thread.  The primary goal will be to fix the issues above but if there is a good consensus about an issue, we can look into balancing it.   here is the link

What is wrong with them?

HITBOXES

What is wrong with them?

They can be a bit disjointed but I think that's just from how often they update

[Eternal]

I just remembered that only the Prussian team (unless I'm forgetting someone) has Dragoons listed above Hussars, while usually Hussars are always listed at the top.

Maybe reorganize it to keep it in form with everything else?

[Thunderstormer]

after some thought, i will make a post to show off the differences in the colmesh for troops before and after.  i might have more pictures laying around but these will do for now.

i think things look nicer overall with the chest filled up more, and other parts like legs tweaked. 

[Furrnox]

Why didn't you put before and after as the same uniform?

they were made by vince over the course of a few days.  And it doesn't really matter.

Body mesh update:
- Moved head colmesh slightly backwards, it was too much forward.
- Stretched head colmesh slightly down so there is no gap between chest and neck.
- Moved chest slightly down.
- Stretched the chest wider and a bit thicker to fit body better.
- Stretched middle body slightly in width so it fills better.
- Stretched bottom body slightly in width so it fills better.
- Moved upper leg colmeshes a bit back, they were too far forward.
- Slightly made upper leg colmeshes less thick.
- Stretched shoulder boxes a bit towards neck to fill in empty space there.


These are very very small minor changes, and should not affect the game too much, but they need testing. a groupfighting server will have these updates to test.
In theory especially the body is easier to hit, it could affect bullets aswell. but from the pictures below you see that the body is more filled.. and it should be more realistic that a visual hit == a real hit.

While you are at it, add linux support for dedicated servers (I hate wine)
Also "Incorrect authorization key" error still a thing

[William]

I'm not sure if you could do it but there is a man who made an incredible admin script. Perhaps you could contact him about getting that put into NW itself?

Also, did you all edit heavy cavalry aside from saber length?

the op should be up to date.

As useless as it may seem, i really think a new faction would help revitalize and re-energize this game and its dying community. Could really bring some hype honestly, i remember when sailors etc were added and so many people got excited and re-motivated to play the game despite it being a minor addition and no real change.

add kingdom of holland or add nothing
