Did you miss me?

Sorry about being AWOL for so long guys, after my exams two of my grandparents died and I went into full time work over the summer so I was just too shattered (mentally and physically) to do anything. I'm getting back into the swing of things at school now which has helped so I'm ready to get modding again!

Could someone summerise what has happened over the last few months (I see that RS2 hasn't got released yet

), who still here, etc?

It's good to be back!

Thanks guys, I appreciate it.

Squid - what is there that needs doing in regards to traits and ancillaries?
Also, is there a new version of the trait mod that I'll need to download?

You have been gone for a while!!

The 1.5b patch took up all my time this summer, because it was a lot of work and because I had almost ceaseless computer problems (I had 3 mobos and a PSU fry). I wasn't able to finish anything, or even work on anything aside from the patch. Then when I thought my computer troubles were behind me, work got ridiculously crazy and hasn't let down yet. So needless to say I don't think there's been any work done on the traits since the last set of updates you gave me.

I think the leader/heir stuff is still outstanding, and adding the noble house stuff to any other factions that we can do it for should still be done, we currently have my armenian and your parthian ones done. Also someone needs to go through the trait/ancillary idea thread and grab any other good ideas from there, Gotthard was originally going to do that, but I think he got lost in the new environment. Oh and we still need to Roman cognomen (i.e. epithet) stuff done, not to mention adding in our own version of the command system by Marcus Camillus.

I think that covers the current state of affairs of traits/ancillaries, but if not feel free to ask.

You should also talk to The Sloth, he made some great traits in trait/ancillary idea thread.

Right then, so is the trait file here the latest one? My computer also suffered from problems before I was away so I've lost all the progress I made in the leaders/heir and I am disinclined to restart that because without all the factions sorted it's a pain in the arse trying to add leader names to a faction that doesn't even exist in 1.5.

Looking at the new members list that was posted in the communications thread, The Sloth is helping with traits/ancillaries, I'll PM him and ask what he's pulled out of the ideas thread.

Which other factions would you suggest have noble houses? The Romans certainly could, unless we want to tie that in with the command system. Which epithets are you referring to with the Romans? EDIT: I've just read the ideas thread, I assume you mean the ones mentions there eg. Germanicus.
Macedon could also get noble houses, if I can dig up enough noble family names then I'll get started on those. Once I've talked to The Sloth I may also start working on some stuff from the ideas thread.
