[OSP] [WIP Release 0.8.5] New Units for Gondor REBORN work thread (1st post image heavy)

[Dutch-Balrog]

Hey Taro_M, i like your unit work a lot, it's excellent. Would like to use some of your models in my TATW submod, do you give permission for that desire? Proper credits are a sure thing of course.

This is a modders rescource, so i dont see any proplem with you using it.

Thanks for the hint, obviously i didn't realise it as of yet ... awesome

[Hospitallers Kane]

Any idea when Pinnaeth Gelin guys will be available taro?

[Benox]

Hello fellows it's been a long time since i posted here, however i've been watching your work Taro and i must say im very impressed with what i saw

Finally my college year is over (thank god) so i may have more time to work in the old mod for 3.1 (maybe adapt it to 3.2) but i can't promise anything for now...

I'll post news soon.

[Taro_M]

Hey man! I though you were dead or something .

[Benox]

Hey man! I though you were dead or something .

Be in last years of college is like being dead. so your thoughts were partly incorrect

Anyway i'm glad to be back, i'm re-installing m2tw + kingdoms since i lost my old pc and got a new one,
then ill get the last version 3.2 so the work might begin, however i can't tell how soon the mod will be released or if it will be released at all

Now that i remeber Was the siege problem fix? Was something wrong with some unit textures?

Everything works like a charm now . I had to completely redo the folders structure.

[Benox]

Excellent, thats really good news

[Araval]

Great to see you back, Benox!

[sapguy]

Does this work in campaign? and would i have to start a new campaign or could i use my present one?
thx

[Taro_M]

It's an Open Source Project for modders. its just a bunch of files that can be added to pretty much anything if you know how .

Fortunately benox is back and he is working on a submod that adds all of my units to campaign.

Danm i know nothing about how to add units i thought it was an easy install:p

[Rora Lion]

Lovely units Taro, I at last made to appreciate them (the ones included in MOS).
I liked in particular the Dol Amroth roster, it adds great variety to Gondor armies in the south, and pikemen are most in need too.
Lossarnach axemen are very nice, expecially if compared with vanilla ones. Ithilien rangers are great, too.

Beautiful work! I still hope something gets included in Vanilla some day, maybe Lossarnach Axemen or Swan Knights if they really don't want to expand the roster (wich I think they should ).

Its easy to install yes, but only for custom battles. In the campaign you need to add them manually, its not hard once you learn it.

[Araval]

Have you made any progress with the animation?

[Taro_M]

Yes, quite a lot actually. I replaced all of attack animations running and ready animations as well. However I run into some rather serious problems. First one is with the "ghost" frame at the start of animation, but Im close to fixing this. Another problem is the reported decrease in combat effectiveness. A unit with my animation suffer much higher casualties. I have no idea why as all I did was changing hands positions a little, number of frames and such is same as vanilla.

Screenshots kindly provided by BM309K58SMERCH, who helps me out with implementing new animations in game.

Looks nice! I hope you'll get them working.

[Thorïn II Oakenshield]

Lebennin guards are awesome !

[Benox]

Great news beta release is done. all Taro units are in custom battle now for vanilla 3.2, Including new Blackroot vale archers(Still using vanilla UI) only lebennin guards are not included for now.
