ATILLA RELOADED's True Late Roman Army mod.

[Atilla Reloaded]

Attila...just want to say thanks again - I played through BI with WRE a second time because of your skins, and it was much more enjoyable to look at my troops through your eyes, so to speak! Incredible mod, will keep me playing this game for a long, long time.

Thank you. From myself I can only promise that third version will be even more enjoyable.

what driver set are you using? maybe we can figure out a way to fix this

Am using the newest driver set from NVIDIA, dowloaded two days ago while trying to fix the problem. Perhaps going with an older set will fix it? At any rate, the temp fix of ALT+TAB works well enough for now - usually I catch the problem when I first start a battle (while deploying) so it's not a big deal to minimize the game then maximize it again.

Have you looked at Lusted's skins? His metal is more realistic looking. Your models and texture details are great and you have more diversity than Lusted. Just that tiny little thing with brightness...

okay. I'm using the newest set that is WHQL certified, 81.85. before that I was using 78.01, which is rather "old"

- yeah it usually starts screwing with me during deployment as well. thanks for the help and confirmation, i was about to give up till a patch

ah well, alt-tab it is!

Yes, most of models look same and it is realistic for late roman period. Just watch some concept art. Soldiers of that time have similliar equipment. More than this, barb infantry equipment was allso the same ( but more archaic still ).

I wasn't challenging their conceptual realism mate, I was pointing out that 'real' or not they all look a bit too similar.

My suggestion was that you may want to add some more distinguishing features to different types of unit beyond the more obvious shields, change the cut of some of their armour and clothing, or add different legging designs, some well placed belts and buckles or a cloak or give some beards or something else, just something so that you can see the differences between differing unit types automatically and its more distinct.

There are already little differences, ok the're not brillant, but i think this is not the time to modify an already finished good work (very good) only for somewhat "gameplay" reasons...don't forget ATILLA brought the light to BI. Before him i didn't wanted even to buy it.
U're suggesting an operation that He may do after finishing the biggest part of his mod:
giving everyone a skins to be proud of! When this will be finished, it will be right to talk about these particulars. He was also thinking to introduce a new map for 3.0; i think it's enough. I repeat if there a problem of some importance this is for metal parts and brightness, no others have somkind of priority, and even this one may wait some time.

[Atilla Reloaded]

I already finished with coding. Only some models left.

@ Caprera

Sorry, but there will be no new map in v 3.0 I hoped that RTW king will provide me with his brilliant map, but he says it will not be completed this week. It may be added in v 4.0 ( for the first time I write "v 4.0" ).

[Es Arkajae]

What the..?

I didn't forget anything as I never cared about why you bought BI in the first place and my advice was given to Attila, I fail to see why you have any investment at all in any suggestions that I give to the guy.

I've given advice which he is free to ignore or acknowledge or implement as and whenever he likes and gee I'm sorry caprera I was unaware that others weren't allowed to offer any helpful suggestions until your own had been met, how silly of me not to notice the long line with you at the front.

*back to and sticking on topic*


Anyway, Atilla thats all the suggestions I have to offer at the momemnt, its just something that leapt out at me so to speak when I was reviewing the first page and thinking up a response. Take it as a contribution or not :wink:

[caprera]

@ Es Arkajae
I have no investments at all... i was only saying that these suggestions are not so important at the moment.To me there are more basic things to do now. U gave your opinion, i gave mine. I was only expresing myself on your suggestions. Everyone's free to give suggestions if he has one.

I'm sorry caprera I was unaware that others weren't allowed to offer any helpful suggestions until your own had been met, how silly of me not to notice the long line with you at the front.

Another thing: don't joke with me... i'm here to know about this mod as you. I'm following it closely and no more; i'm not the teacher's pupil or somewhat u're thinking,so calm down. :wink:

@ ATILLA
I know for the map i read the thread of RTW:KING. U're right it's a good map.

[saulot333]

Is the release date (today) still valid? No pressure Atilla.

[the celt]

Great! All this waiting is finally paying off! I'm now in the process of constructing your Idol Atilla. Im thinking of putting it between Archer's and Webbirds. But on the otherhand it might look better next to Seleukos.

[humvee2800]

lol,theyre all happy now but when it is released theyll all complain about a ctdb that happens if they stand on the computer upside down while juggling.......
