Looks good so far! Good luck! But. To be rather honest, the picture behind the screen where you can select Multyplayer and all that. I don't love it. But in overal, great work for. 1 day?

yea, its only been 1 day... much more planned. so you still up for making the maps?

Yeah, I can do some maps later. But concidering I probably still have maps you can use, and Blitz_Craig (Should definetly check his thread) also has maps you can use. I want to do that later :). First see if the mod actually will come out, and you must check all the maps already made ofcourse. Ill link my thread and Blitz.

My thread: https://www.fsegames.eu/forum/index.php?topic=3104.0
Maps I recomment. that I made:
-Ship in the ice
-Dekkers's trainingsmap  (I think it is good if we add a training map again, like in MM)
-Battle of Camden (Medium size, inspired by the Patriot)
And I probably have some siege maps you could use. But i'll contact you about that when there has been more progress. Because skins will be your main problem I think.

Blitz_Craig's thread: https://www.fsegames.eu/forum/index.php?topic=251.0
Maps I recomment mady by Blitz.
-Spandau Zitadelle
-Fort George (Upper Canada)
-Fort McHenry
-New Orleans
-Chapultepec (Not sure about this one)


I hope this helps.

in your module folder there is a folder called language, since I use the english language I went into the en folder then factions and then you can change the name there. With the banners they are in textures as a dds file so you have to get the nividia dds plugin for photoshop to change them. I cant remember exactly what the file is called.

also thanks dekkers

 Just showing that you can edit the factions and start and loading screens isn't going to make a mod. I'd recommend going to modelers/texturers.

Two little nitpicks, the minute men didn't operate as regiments, they operated as companies. Also, it was the Provincial Rifle Corps, not regiment. Those are just some minor things I picked out. Also, what are the intentions for Native Americans regarding the Patriots? Various tribes including the Penobscot fought for the patriots and did quite well at preventing an invasion from Canada. Even if the Patriots had an auxiliary native unit like the British it'd make sense.

Well I do intend to make Natives an individual faction so that they can represent the ones that fought the Continentals and the ones that fought the British, I also got this list as a suggestion and put it up for scrutiny so that I can make a better game.

On the terms of the first update, I agree its not much but thats cause im doing alot of coding which I cant really show but I have just got a TEXTURER  on the team so once I get a modeller we should be up and running.

I can't remember in which game it was. But I beleave in Fire and Sword you could pick 2 factions for 1 side at the same time, maybe you could add that. For example, you get: France + Native Americans (It probably has a better name). VS. Great Britain.

You don't even have to use it then, but for events or so, maybe? :)

Not sure you can, since it's copyright material. And, if you do, FSE will not give you a sub-board since they do not condone the use of copyright material.

How does N&S have their sub-board, since they have also used copyrighted material
= their intro song for the mod (starting menu when you start the game ) = also copyrighted..

I doubt anyone'd mind if you used a few soundtracks from a few movies... Rather enjoyable. But the one (the main theme) of Patriot is not the best for the battle mode, the "Preparing for Battle" one is :)

Had enough, left the forum

hmmm... interesting, on another note if I get some skins from a certain somebody there may be an update soon to show of all the coding done by either me, CaseofInsanity (creator of the mod NW++) or other mods that I have included since the War of 1809 mod... now that I think about it when I do that update ill put all of there names and mods on this thread.
