"Is there any known bugs with this?"

I played the mod along 10 turns in RTW 1.3 and i haven´t found anything.You must only to be careful to made not to long ship,otherwise they will end with a lot of the ship over the land if you turn this near the cost.

"Have you tried inserting this into RTR or other Mods?"

No idea...this was only a test,that i made because our mod map will be much more bigger than the original map ...I heaven´t never thought of doing it into a separate mod,but if the others members of my team agree,why not...


"How does it behave on the campaign map?"

Gameplay screenshots:

[Prof]

could you make new ships for the battle map, too? (with this look)

[Obi Wan Asterix]

Nice!

1.Do these ships ever overlap? If they are in adjacent squares and facing in opposite direction don't they overlap? I would think from the size....

2.Would you be interested in making Japanese ships for our Jidai-no-ran mod?

[Lord_sgmorris]

when will this be ready for download !!!?

[riczu74]

Prof

for the battle map ? Is this possible? Are the naval battle not only automatic?

Only in the prebattle as you can seen and it isen´t so bad. :laughing:














"Would you be interested in making Japanese ships for our Jidai-no-ran mod?"

Sure,but at moment i´m to busy.Maybe next summer.

This is my first ship.Rome has more than 20 factions....maybe in a year

They look to me like the models for the far away ships in battle , may be this is what prof was referring to , if so then the ships are the same ....

naval battles could be possible too but would require retexturing of fields , use elephants as ships may be and anyway not sure it would look more than an arrow throwing battle.......

[Prof]

what i meant was: when you fight near the sea you sometimes see a fleet in the water. those look a bit weird. could need a reskin ^^

[PROMETHEUS ts]

I think the models he used are the ones from battle scenes prof...

[bestantreas]

How did they create the ships in the battle of Marathon on Desicive Battles show? Is there a special patch for RTW that CA didn't release? If yes, why not?

[riczu74]

Prof/Prometheus

No you are wrong.It isen´t the model of the ship you see on the battlefield.I use the strategic map cas model.The battlefield model are maybe a mix of this cas file with a standard cas or is the strategic map cas with other scale...i don´t ´now,but i will reserch.

















Nice is the idea to do naval battle.I ´now from a mod about this... .Is this relased? The only thing i find is this,but i don´t ´now if this work

If you want we can take this mod and make a better one,you for Res Gestae and i for Casus Belli. :laughing:

[PROMETHEUS ts]

I didn't knew of the exhistence of this mod , tought it seems to work exactly as I was thinking , big meshes replacing the oliphants with the z axis of them lowered to merge part of them in the land , the problem is that it will always look like a go cart show , meaning the ships get close , the men shots their arrows , and after some collisions some ships turn on side ....I don't think there is any way to improve it due to the fact that we can't create new skeletons , and plus it would require to create a sea texture for one climate zone , and we cant animate those textures with slide types , also other units would be able to walk in this terrain like sort of miracle making troops , unless a heavy script prevents any unit apart the ships to walk on this land , but still should be all coastal and not on the sea a,d the ship units would still be land units on the strat map , I see so too many problems and disadvantages than real possibility to have naval battles , in the best hypothesis would be a crap looking naval battle I think ..... I think is better to focus just on other things that this one...

[riczu74]

Maybe you are right

[bestantreas]

This can be an awesome mod!

[lt1956]

I have an Idea, I dont know if you can do it, but what about adding some little sailors on the deck? Making it look as if there are men on the deck since its bigger? That would be a nice touch. :-)

Lt

[bestantreas]

Yes, I agree, you can add light infanrty on birimes, a little heavier on tririmes.... I know they won't be too big, but it's a nice idea.

[riczu74]

My friends you are late.I made a similar modell with soldiers 2 week ago.But the problem is that the vertex number will be to much big (> 18000)

[Pinarius]

what about seamonsters?

[riczu74]

I found a way to reduce the vertex number.Now look my ship for the roman like this (only 4700 vertex) ,and more similar to the original one .

Pd.The mod will take many month to be finished,also if any modders will help me to made any models or will made models for his own mod.I ´ve no objections.

This is only a hobby for me not a fulltime job ... :sweatingb and "lt1956" no any modder can take a mod to be finished in 2 week :wink:

[lt1956]

Making models for SPQR and there were several didnt take 2 weeks. :-) Thats what I was speaking of, Models and skins arent really a mod. Game mechanics has to be changed to be a mod. But you did a nice job on those Ships. I hope you will share the roman ship model with some of us to see if we can help. Like I said I am contacting a couple people to see if we can get this done. It would be a nice addition to all the mods to have better ships.

You can still do the ones with the little men, right? It hink the men on there is worth it, makes it more realistic.

[riczu74]

This is my old model for the Roman ship. http://rapidshare.de/files/7873525/Roman_navy.rar.html .This will you help to see how it looks ingame and its a good way to test performance on your system .

Bye
