ChivalryTW is recruiting

**Adherbal** · November 26, 2005, 04:39 AM

I never thought I would post one of these threads, but the current situation leaves me with no choice. My interest in modding is decreasing and I nolonger want to spend the amount of time on modding that I did before.
On top of that, I've seen highly talented people join new mods while the chiv team (about 6 people, with me doing 90% of the work) hasn't seen any new teammembers since about 6 months ago, and not a single new modeller or skinner since the first day this mod was started. I can't deny this has caused me some frustration, considering the amount of time and work I spend on this mod. I always thought that people would automatically offer their services without the need of a thread like this, but the ones who did join like that disappeared a couple of days later without doing any real work.

I've decided to focus my attention on the graphical aspect of the mod, because talented modellers/3D artists are a lot harder to find then text editors. What we're looking for is:

Campaignmap Editor:
Needs to be familiar with the RTW campmap editor and have basic knowledge of photoshop. A good knowledge of all the campaignmap related TXT files is also necessary. The campaignmap is already ~60% done, but I nolonger want to spend my time on this.

Campaignmap Scripter:
We're looking for someone familiar to RTW scripting. Things like crusades and advancing through the Era's are done with scripts, and there has virtualy been no progress on this other then testing some ideas. Very good knowledge of RTW scripting required.

Others:
Obviously other talents such as 3D modellers are also welcome, but most of the models unit models are already done or in progress. However we still need a lot of battlemap buildings; especially of russian, byzantine and muslim architecture.

If this thread gives no results then I fear Chivalry won't be completed until somewere at the end of next year ~

**{nF}remix** · November 29, 2005, 05:27 PM

I really hope you guys get some people, the same thing happened to my mod : NATW, we had great optimism, but the lack of new talent killed us, i hope you guys dont have the same fat, cuz you guys have done a ton of A-grade work. Please help these guys, their giving you a Huge Medieval Total War Mod for The RTW engine! What more can you ask for?

I think this kind of thing is getting far too common place. I'm beginning to feel like the community is seriously slowing down in the modding scene. I seriously think some kind of unification needs to take place. A consolidation of sorts really, since at the moment, the whole community seems fractured and weak

**{nF}remix** · November 30, 2005, 05:35 PM

Please chivalry,TW, i suggest your team ( As well as all other teams) to join the NTO

http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=27

That way, every1 can share resources and have better progress. That is the unification the MOD community needs.

i agree with this whole heartedly.
im sick of seeing so many mods fail

i just like looking at the units

Im very sorry for your frustaction,as i say in my post " to many mods ..." the people wants to be a leader of his own project ,like vlad , darth or LT1582 or any thing,they want to see his name in the top , no person wants be personage in second plan ,mainly if has talent,therefore is to hard you find good assistants.
I try your Beta verion few months ago ,and it seemed very good ,it seemed to be already in an advanced state,but suddenly stops,i think is because you try to change to BI or 1.3 ,I know that in medieval age the religion are to important ,but the BI conversion seems to be more hard ,better if you keep with 1.2.
Yours mod would be one of the best ones ,do not give up.
Sory my :wub:**english.

I have to agree that the spring of multiple mods related to the same topic is very frustrating. I can't understand why some people don't:

1. Realize that making a full mod between a handfull of people is very hard and tidious

2. Some ideas by individuals might actually be protected in a large mod instead of being squashed down by scarcity of modding resources or personel.

3. People should start to consider the awsome mods which could be produced if only more people were willing to put their differences aside and attemp unification with larger mods.

4. As mentioned above, there are so many mods about the same topic(or very close to some others) that competition will get in the way and lead no where, even if that competition is not stated directly.

In my opinion, some of the Crusader mods should be helping out Chivalry(as they will be able to realize their ideas much faster while adding to the modding community) and other mods about greeks, Napoleonic era, etc should do likewise. It's MUCH EASIER! and it helps the modding community evolve instead of divolve.

**ScionTheWorm** · December 09, 2005, 04:29 PM

I don't agree to that.

There is more to the different mods than the time period, it's gameplay and just sheer "feeling". It's like RTR and EB working together, that wouldn't work. Or EB and CA. I'm self working on age of vikings and fanatics, and want a dark rusty mood, where I guess others go for the more MTW thing. Being historical takes time, and thats one place two mods from same period may differ. (AoVaF are someplace in between, more against the historical correct but not Eb fanatic). Also, whole stat system, the amount to redo (chivTW; all cities, wow), the trust between team members that they like what the other members do graphically, music, graphical style on skinned units, and so on.

I want to make a mod of a time where the sorry lifes of those who lived in it is worth zero, the armour covered in rust and dirt, and where heroes are few in numbers. It should be pure metal in the disguise of a game. This reminds me of a hymn

"...Where long forgotten heroes
sang of victory
And drank ales
to old memories."

cheers

Oh my,

I never thought that chivalry total war was having problem recruiting.

But still it is fun to read TWC's history!!!

**atheniandp** · August 04, 2012, 10:02 PM

Your signature says you're a Muslim, but I think you're a heretical necromancer. Look at the date of the last post man! This mod has long been released.

**Ussaid the Hashshashin** · August 05, 2012, 04:29 AM

I know that!!!
I am currently playing it in windowed mod!!!

**DaVinci** · August 05, 2012, 04:57 AM

Lol ... just stumbled about it. I hope a moderator sees this and closes the thread soon.

Go here, if somebody wants to comment about ChivTW.

I don't think it matters anymore. This thread now has much, much more meaning beyond Chivalry TW. We've just witnessed the tremendous unholy power of a level 94 necromancer. He ressurected a thread from 2005!.... 2005! What madness could drive a man to partake in such black arts? A man who hast becometh the Grim Reaper himself!
