Biv 0 Posted January 11, 2006 lol hey gav could you give us a progress report on the special units? if you have started them of course anyway still loving that steamboat keep up the good work laddies Cheers, Biv Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gavinthecat 0 Posted January 11, 2006 Alright Biv, your gonna love this, but forgive me, the special units (the twenty we collected) will not be included in the first release. Now before you guys go nuts let me explain, the first release is actually not that far away now, its pretty close, so we dont want to go delaying that for another twenty units huh. Also the second release won't be even a quarter as long as it took to make the first release, (cos hell we'll have everything in place' and that will focus all around on those cool ships, the extra regiments, and a second island. The french occupation next phase, will not be the second update to the mod, but more of a third phase, after the update Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EnFuego 0 Posted January 12, 2006 what would be cool,, I mean really cool,,, is if you could make and Island with a water-way (mississippi) going through it. A north south side if you will,,,, then put a railroad along both sides and curve inland a ways. I could see it now,,, rail-cars with cannons mounted and full of troops. that would be an epic battle,,,,, The Mississippi would play into the west scene also,,, Once the cowboys tore it up in Kansas,,, they took a rail to Kansas city then road a steamboat to Texas and Louisiana into the french quarter.... I would be all over it ( former map maker DDz Bloodhound) but I am wrapped up in this movie deal for the next months... then I can get enough money to help my (over-the-pond allies) and go international. keep up the excellent work men,,, I'll be in the bathroom..

Marcus4 0 Posted January 14, 2006 i want units...... .....just kidding, how is it all comeing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gavinthecat 0 Posted January 14, 2006 Well its coming along well, the next update will be more stuff for the map (more houses and things but the map won't take too long to do) The horse and cavalry of course require some work. The campain needs to be started, but you guys know that won't take absolute ages either. Overall it could go faster (but im in the middle of exams right now) but after that (a few days - week) We'll be back up to speed with regular updates and juicy bits phwoar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
esti_the_big 0 Posted January 15, 2006 Nice, just discovered this mod Probably asked plenty of times before, but how long will it take until a first release? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sika 0 Posted January 15, 2006 I have to ask thing about revolver animation. In cwmod its cool but its so annoying that you cant move during the reloading or stop it and the reloading takes time. So could it be possible to leave the animation but you could move during that. And other thing is revolver shooting animation is cool but the left hand behind back is little stupid maybe the other hand could be just hanging in air(if you know what I mean just like in westerns) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gavinthecat 0 Posted January 15, 2006 Well yeah Sika i couldnt agree more, go back a few pages (maybe about 10) and you'll find we made our own pistol animations some time ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sika 0 Posted January 15, 2006 Yep I found it, Looking good! but how about reloading thingy? btw is there coming any time period house(saloon,barber,jail,small shop,weaponshop?) and any indians? Yes im more exited about wild west things that civil war but both are welcome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gavinthecat 0 Posted January 15, 2006 Yeah there will be wild west component especially with the larger map that won't be in the first release. However, lol, our wild west is not a cartoonish depiction, it will be a realisation of the most 'extreme' events stylised for our fictional storyline, but regardless, we want our players to feel true grit in their mouths lol. So anyone expecting pink jackets and shiney spurs might want to shoot themselves haha. But if you like spaghetti westerns haha then that is okay (cos bar the innacuracies due to budget restraints) these films with at the time, hugely contraverisal levels of violence, were seen, at that time as more realistic than hollywood. Anyway, before you all complain that the wild west wasnt always a blood bath just remember, in ww1 it wasnt a blood bath on the island of fuji (but nobodies making a mod about that are they...) As regards to the reload anims, no, the idiot unit will not reload every single cartridge / bullet individually into this gun... Yeah all those period houses will be included too, but don't expect them all to be enterable, (if i had to model a barbers interior... and this an that the mod would never be finished lol) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JdB 151 Posted January 15, 2006 (if i had to model a barbers interior... and this an that the mod would never be finished lol) Like you even could Some more special (storyline) buildings will get an interiour, but alot of regular houses are not worth making fully functionable.

Connors 0 Posted January 16, 2006 in ww1 it wasnt a blood bath on the island of fuji (but nobodies making a mod about that are they...) Hmmm.... interesting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JdB 151 Posted January 16, 2006 It'd better be! The Hunley is now also fully lodded, but Gavin has exams, so some things have slowed down. Good thing he'll be working again on the mod from thursday onwards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JdB 151 Posted January 17, 2006 Hallelujah! Finally all the models + lods for the first release are done! Quite an achievement considering I did most of them myself with the exception of some weaponmodels and the standard infantry models. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sepe 1 Posted January 17, 2006 As long as there is the enterable saloon, the whiskey bottles and my ol' good LeMat I'm happy. Well a general store would be cool too, but the saloon is way more important. At least in 11 different variants. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gavinthecat 0 Posted January 17, 2006 at least 11 variants!!!! Oh well you heart the man Lt HuNTeR, better get to work! lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JdB 151 Posted January 17, 2006 Oh well you heart the man Lt HuNTeR No, but I am going to hurt him And I don't listen to what any fan has to say anyway according to ... ''some'' fans, so ''#!&@ @! %$@'' I think Shinkansen has already done a saloon (or at least a building that looks like it, and can easily be converted ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Connors 0 Posted January 17, 2006 good work. Now i'm off to watch Cold Moutain, A fistfull of Dollers, A Few Dollers more and The Good The bad and The Ugly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JdB 151 Posted January 20, 2006 Well guys, the horse is getting sorted out and animated by Gavin. The final version will be desaturated a bit, as the textures are not yet final, and the alpha channeling on the tail will be fixed as well. (Horse by Zalmoxis and Gavin) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
