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

Good news everyone, I found a solution to the fix bayonet glitch on U.K. sergeants/natives muskets.
I set the fix bayonet option to use a duplicate nonbayonet musket, why didn't I think of that before

Yay!

[Charles William]

and since the problem is now fixed. Poll will be removed

[Hazzard]

So are Sergeants and Natives not meant to get bayonets?

[MadManYo]

I can understand why natives don't have bayonets but surely sergeants should

[usnavy30]

The UK sergeants in the development process I was requested to not give them a bayonet as their main melee weapon feature is the spontoon. I can very easily give them a bayonet, playing the advocate here.

26/14 bump

UK sergeants now have a fixable bayonet as well, to minimize exposure to fix bayonet 'phantom' animation if you press b. Natives will not be getting a bayonet however.

Overall 0.5 is coming along nicely with trimming of the excess models to optimize the mod and the loading time.

...the 9th East Norfolk has been forgotten.
After all we did.

Nevermind, being sorted.

Maybe in the next release you can fix the 41st unit? it looks to identical to 33rd, from what I recall the 41st Foot wore white trousers and not grey.

[usnavy30]

The 41st pants is fine as-is but I may think about making the coding more suitable for modding opportunities in the future.

[Mr. Kochi]

I made the 41st based on the reenactment group from Fort George. The uniform itself does look like 33rd's only with evenly spaced lacing, as opposed to paired groupings.

And the grey pants are also accurate, since the white trousers were replaced after the Peninsular campaign.

However, both white and gray would be accurate anyway, since Horse Guards wasn't quite adept in uniform distribution outside the British isles.

[Conway]

I find there is a big difference between the 41st and the 33rd.

[usnavy30]

Well dukeofwellington's post reminds me I'll start making the coding more friendly to modding opportunities. Especially to start separating the French voltigeur officer pants from all the regular british units, starting with the 41st infantry and AI bot for a test.

Early War uniform idea

One possible idea that has been raised is early war uniforms. Mini-modifications are possible and more easier to make if the coding/brfs are modified to be 'modding-friendly'

Early War uniforms mini-mod would entail separate BRF files one for grey, one for white for example. Where the module.ini can be edited in notepad to enable/disable certain brf files.

Code

# 1812 module.ini test
load_mod_resource = 1812_early_war_uniforms
#load_mod_resource = 1812_late_war_uniforms

So in short the optional download would include:
- BRF Resource files to enable or disable.
- Module.ini file tweaked for use.
- Textures to copy and replace. -> Only if we would want to make a retexture of a uniform or shako for example

However only if it is agreeable in the future to proceed, right now I am testing the idea.

I don't know what's historicly accurate or not, but I thought the 41st had white pants with black gaiters/boots? (Again, I'm not sure)
