[SUBMOD] v4.0 Game of Thrones - NEW UNIT MOD RELEASED!

[Inarus]

well to be honest.. i don't think your idea will work

-there's only one season, many portraits are gonna be missing,
-many of those that are already presented, are way different than their actual book-descriptions
-event pics are gonna be a real bitz, lets say everything about battles and sieges..general dies, enemy general dies, settlement taken, building lost etc etc..
the tv show isn't displaying anything that relative (maybe they'll do blackwater, but who knows in what scale..)

and you also "have" to have some variaty regarding the different cultures, for whatever kind of event pic..how are you ever gonna find anything dorne related ? or are you gonna use pics from other films ?

you're just gonna end up with a miss matched motley bunch of pics, i'm afraid...
your concept is beautiful but also seriously flawed..
the TA had 3 films of epic proportions with another 2 coming up and not as much detailed characters appearances (tolkien's work on the war of the ring, was mostly about the middle-earth races and 10-15 characters, while martin's is about around 100 fully fleshed out, main, secondary and even tertiary characters..tough deal )

maybe you should reform your concept and concentrate on just

-loading and menu screens
(you already have some great stuff, as i can see from the previews, maybe you should also include the variou spromotional pics with the various characters on the iron throne or the various banners and why not some fan art too..like certain show-pics , processed with photoshop etc...i'll take a look in my drive and see what i have to send you)

-quotes

Thanks, but I might point out...

At the moment we have a mis-matched images between M2's and the aSoIaF fan art. If we can have that, why not TV series images?

As I said earlier, each release will be related to the series, so alas Dorne cannot feature for a fair few years.

I've already got loads of ideas for death images and other events, but they won't be as perfect as they could be.

I have thought this through, don't worry.

well then good luck with it

and don't forget to include that one screenshot, with tyrion pissing off the wall's edge!

An excellent image, as long as it doesn't reveal too much that we don't want to see.

Now I was afraid that this had become buried:

Either way I have decided not to include the Title Credits as the menu background, it just doesn't work well enough, the cons outweigh the pros, etc.

Therefore I need a new Title Screen, my original idea was the Iron Throne however when I loaded up W:TW I was presented with a hideous image which looked as though the Throne had succumbed to the long hours of sustaining Robert Baratheon's immense weight (My aspect ratio had stretched it out hideously, in other words )

If anyone is knowledgeable in the matters of such stretching of images and if it's just a downside of my laptop having a wide screen and other people probably won't suffer the same then please say.

Otherwise, I would ask for some input: what do you want as the backdrop to the menu? What sums up the raging war in Westeros?

[MachoKing]

Clearly missed the point. Good luck.

[Noobio]

here's some..hope they help

Some, alas, have the issue that they won't resize well without cutting off bits (hard to explain) but overall, awesome! Thanks and have some +Rep! I'm optimistic about that second Iron Throne one!

[Noobio]

yeah..i know...it has to do with the ratio..

have you thought of creating different "rims" for some of the loading screens ? maybe trasparent or something for some of the trickiest pics to get right?

[Inarus]

Here is my latest Title design (the Westeros: Total War title is added in-game). I was wondering what people thought about it, and about the addition of a quote (which I chose for being perhaps the most relevant and apt of the series).

RELEASED

A Pre-release of this mod is available in the Opening Post. I emphasise that this is a Pre-release, so please provide feedback.

[Radboud]

Very nice start.

[Finlander]

Inarus, remove that annoying red three from the loading screen. (OP, last pic). It is just so annoying...

[Inarus]

Just an update on progress with some previews.

My main reason for releasing the Pre-release was to get this off my mind in a period of heavy workload. As a result I have done little to reorganise the OP and to neaten up the previews. Hopefully this will soon change.

As for the mod itself I am optimistic that I shall have the full release done by Christmas, perhaps that's too optimistic.... Well anyway, I have one assignment to do for the 16th then it's party sub-mod time .

So the good stuff: previews.

Firstly some stuff that is already available in the Pre-release, some more loading screens (teasing ya before the new stuff ):

Damn, just realised that the Event pics have a horrid white border as a result of being converted to Jpeg to show on the forum, *facepalms* Note to self: always use .png. So yes, that won't be there in the game.

[Radboud]

I would use something different for the assassin slain pic and the current assassin slain pic is better suitable for an army exterminated event.

[Noobio]

radboud has a point there..maybe you could also use the frame where summer attacks the cut-throat, as the stark-culture variation, of enemy agent detected/slain or soemthing..

I had that lol! Then I decided it was a bit hard to interpret, but since you have it to mind, sure! I'll change it right away. Though I also thought the head on the pike was apt as it's a likely fate for assassins

Edit: I've redone it with that picture plus some photoshopping to make the image wider.

[Radboud]

The head on the pike reminded me of

It's given me an idea or two

EDIT: Okay with that in mind, how about I use Assassin Slain (Original) for General Enemy Death?

[Skizbot]

I prefer the original assassin pic you were using. The 2nd one..."hard to interpret" was the right way to describe it, I had to stare at it for a few seconds before I even realized what I was seeing. The guys hood blends into the ground too much. Or something.

[Radboud]

That picture I posted can be improved with Photoshop/Gimp or another graphics editor and I took that picture from a low quality video (I just did print screen and pasted the image into Gimp).

@Ina, sounds good .

[Inarus]

This is going to sound wierd... but why the heck is this post empty!!! Ah, I think I removed the image.... :S
