Overall great work and I can't wait to download em.:thumbsup2

Yeah, some clans with simple mons will probably have them, but I'm gonna try to vary it a bit, the Shimazu for instance don't have any symbol on their ashigaru now. It felt a bit silly that ALL the ashigaru had that big spot on them, maybe it's realistic? I don't know, but now it's more varied. :)

(I was gonna start on the Date today, but I don't feel very inspired, I have the whole day tomorrow to start though, might be some draft-screens up by the end of tomorrow)

New screenshots of the Date are up on the first page (I hope it doesn't count as bumping when there's nows, in that case, sorry about that).

By the way, does anyone know what texture-file modifes the battlefield banners? (the ones on the units that is). Is it the banners0.dds to banners3.dds? In that case, I might have to release an optional banner-addon seperately, since there are several different banners (for different factions) in each of those files.

Looks good so far.:thumbsup2

I LOVE what you've done with the Shimazu! I just played an entire campaign looking at that bright green, it wasn't very comfortable. Please do keep going!
I would love to see Chosokabe Ashigaru without the hideously bright blue dot all over them.

Looks great, looking forward to this mod. Gl with the project!

Thanks mate :) The original Shimazu was indeed really, really bad, haha.

Trust me, when I'm done with the chosokabe ashigaru they won't look like Iron Man anymore.

Haha. :)



Edit: By the way, I will probably put up some screenshots of the finished Date (at least I think they're finished now) and updated Takeda tomorrow or so. Then I'll start with a new clan, not sure which one yet, probably the Oda, since they're probably the worst looking ones from what I've seen.

Looking forward too it mate :D

Don't want to be harsh on you, this is really amazing work that you do and thank you for it...

But I think that DATE is out of place, to me they look more like ODA (Black / Gold), I mean they DO have AZURE BLUE/GOLD color of their banners.

I really looked forward to this mod, started amazing but I am disappointed with DATE :( Sorry

If the mod is available separately then I'd for sure take the first 3 you redesigned... they look great compared to DATE, colors are good and they respond good to the clan's banner.

Cheers and thanks for your hard work ;) I really appreciate you

The Date have changed a bit since those screenshots on the first page, the blue is slightly brighter now (but I don't want it to be too bright), and the brown/purple-is shirts (on Samurai and Ashigaru) are also blue now. In other words, they have black/gold armour and blue clothes with some red details for some variation, the original Date had the same colour-scheme (except for the red), but not as bright colours. :) Still, it's a matter of taste, and hopefully the various clans will be standalone, so you can pick and choose what you want. :) (I'm not offended though, so don't worry, I just like to explain myself, haha)

(Also, I will hopefully be able to retexture the banners for the clans in battle aswell, to make the colour suit the units better)

So what's the status with a release of these skins? They look fabulous, but I think you said something about mod tools? I thought there will be no mod tools for this game. Didn't CA say there will be no direct mod support?

Hopefully the Pack File Manager will be out eventually with the ability to edit db-files, and it's not by CA :) So we'll just have to wait for that, or if anyone makes another program with the ability to edit db-files.

Oh, gotcha. The skins look great by the way. My favorite are the Date skins. Very nice work, my friend.

great work sir, is ther any way you can change the banner colors too?

Thank you :) I should be able to change them, but I'm not sure which file to edit, haven't looked into it much yet, but I'll try to do that later. :)

By the way, there are pictures of the updated Takeda on the first page. I've made the shoes of the samurai a little bit darker since I took those pictures, and some other very small changes, other than that, I believe they are final now. Will probably take a few pictures of the Date soon, they're also final, I think. :)

does this conflict with the less gloss mod and toonwar 32bit textures?

Works fine with the less gloss mod, but not with the 32bit textures because they replace the same files I believe.. (At least when it comes to my units, it will still work on the units for other factions I guess, but it's hard to say right now since I'm not sure how this will work yet)


New date-screenshots up on the first page. Looks like I've exceeded my bandwith on photobucket, anyone know of any other good free hosting sites apart from imageshack?

Wow ... Try FOTOROLA in google, it's in native language but you can understand the site I think :)

On the topic:

With new DATE I think you've outdone your self this time, pure win! <3 I love it now, can't wait to use your mod it's flawless now, keep up the good work and show us new textures pls! :D I'm dying to see the rest

P.S. I think changing the banners is bit of the side, my personal opinion is that they shouldn't be changed, I believe they are just fine the way they are right now :D

Keep em keeping, I'm becoming your greatest fan looks like :D

Thanks :) If I do change the banners I'll only change the colours to match the ones on the units a bit better, so that it doesn't look out of place. :)

Since it seems you're pretty far along, I doubt this would be practical but I figure I'll throw it out there:

Is it possible that you could make these retextures 32-bit or 24-bit?


Regardless, really looking forward to this. Thanks.
