Hello all, sorry for not not answering - somewhy there were no notifications via email.
And sorry for not updating this thread for some time - I'm working alone and you can imagine, how slowly progress goes.
Work continues, I try to find time for modding every day, but unfortunatelly it is not always possible. And of course I'll not abandon this mod
Currently I continue work on Malakoff Tower defences scene prop, it is ready (I showed screenshots couple of times, but it was first (after 4 or 5 times remaking it almost from scratch with new ideas and principles) one scene prop, indestructible and big, so there couldn't be any LODs (and with all that gabions it has many-many poligons). So now I must disassemble this whole thing and make every
embrasure (luckily it is enough to make just 203 types of them), every
merlon (part of wall of fortification between two embrasures) and every
traverse (raised mounds of earth designed to defilade the interior spaces of field works and to limit the area effected by explosions occurring within gun positions) as separate destroyable object with LODs (and I must make every object independant, so there were no empty spases. Currently I finished more than half of them, all what's left is to correct deficiencies and export them. And you must understand, that I've never done this before, so sometimes after big part of work I see flaws or better way to make it, so I must remake that work in new way, so in the future all new stuff to make in that new way. For now I have results that satisfy me, so I hope I won't remake something in the future. And also this is important work, because I can use that merlons, traverses and embrasures in other scenes, so in the future work on scenes will go faster
And also I'm reading a lot of literature about Crimean War, searching for information and ideas for mod. And also I'm searching information and pictures about units I want add. BTW, working on uniform is much easier, than on scene props, because I have other uniforms, which I can combine and retexture with slightly modifications - and here goes new uniform. BTW, next uniform I want to add is British artillery, maybe I'll do it shortly just to update this thread.
