Union Officer, NCO and uniform pipingadd on for 3.5

Hi I have beenworking on a mod that adds unique officers to many of the units. The officer orsenior enlisted will have the correct color insignia, chevron and uniformpiping corresponding with his unit. Ifanyone is interested I can release it as an add-on. Any suggestions are welcome. This is what I have so far

Wow this is great work. I espassialy like the Idea of thesmall command unit which can inspire. But i would love to see them with horses and the ability to dismount. I really like this idea because in my main campaign i have only a few generals left and no option to recruit new ones.

The Marine Officer looks great by the way i like the improvement.
Overall great Idea would love to see this finished.

Hi itleonard!

Very nice work you did there. But since the last released version we have added some new officers to both sides (several dress variations, officers with hats, new zouave officer, but not the marine and sharpshooter I see you did).

I would suggest you take a look at the last stable version with the changes it has (link in private message), and possibly adapt your pack for this latest version (keeping in mind that we're trying to keep the adding of new textures to a minimum, because we are already overbloated and causing memory issues, hence reusing same textures for more than one unit, etc in the last version)? If you wish to do some more unit editing (code stuff) work, we've still got a list of things to finish, and not enough volunteers to do it... PM me.

Certainly great work,please go on

[Murat ÖZCAN]

But some officer kepis should be remodelled a little bit,I think. Here are some examples.


For USA:




For CSA:



Edit: This is not a compliment for your submod,this is a requst for the whole mod,maybe you can solve this.

Currently there does not seem to be a single modeller available to help with the mod, so any idea who'd do that?

[Murat ÖZCAN]

hmm,I will try to find one modeller for you This is just a small problem.

Resource add on munitions, armaments and textiles, creatable with buildings

This looks very interesting indeed. Maybe replace the ivory with "ore" (from mines) or "machinery" or "consumer goods" (from towns) as an additional resource?

Very cool.

I would like to request that this becomes an addon....These uniforms and such are really epic, and are pretty good for historical accuracy. Is it done? or is it still in dev?

[Lucius_Vorenus]

I would like to second the opinion of AlphaxCentauri (great user name BTW). These textures are extremely well rendered and the level of detail regarding the uniform trim colors and rank epaulets is exceptional. I particularly like the idea of a regimental or perhaps brigade commander, who could be delegated with command responsibilities in a particular sector of the battlefield. This would really enhance the overall experience of ACW in my opinion as generals do seem to be in relatively short supply and to be able to have an intermediate commander a la ETW's generic recruitable generals would really enhance this already magnificent mod. Any word on the status of your work itleonard?

http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...ated-3-5-beta2 Take a look at this thread, this will have some more info on he "Regimental Colonel" unit as well as some other concepts and ideas I came up with. I was waiting on the release of the updated version of this mod, however I am not sure what the status is on the next release. If anyone knows please let me know. As far as Additional command unit, The regimental colonel will be part of a field commander class. Each colonel created will be named after an actual colonel during the conflict. The above thread is locked so post your thoughts here.

This looks great. Is this being implemented into 3.6?

itleonard has decided not to cooperate with ACW's other modders so we have dome some of these things differently.
A completely new set of officers and NCOs has been made and implemented now in ACW 3.6

Locking this thread as it's outdated.
