My arty has no info picture. Is that still to be made? Says work in progress but I cant find anything on the forums.

As the info card says, artillery is WIP (work in progress) :p

The bug that was killing my cannon models has been found and nailed to the floor by KnightsErrant.

There should be a big update/preview on the artillery and once that's done there'll be a patch soon after.

Cheers

this is a photo of a period demiculverin with a member of the public alongside.its in pevensey castle and it gives you an idea just how huge these things are.(think ive got this right!)

Thanks for posting that picture that Leonn. It's definitely big, unless he's a midget.

Getting it to be that big in game would require some major work as the crew positions would have to be changed, animations would need to be re-done along with some edits to the 'skeleton' of the model. After that it may end up looking unbelievably big.

Here's a gun chart for the period.

no hes not a midget,he"s the curator there and he"s six feet two!these things took 10 heavy horses to drag over the abominable roads of the period,accompanied by their tools ammo and all the other stuff they had to have,you can see why artillery trains were so massive,and why so much effort was made to capture them.ive seen a cannon royal and the wheels on that were 9 feet high!

Last but not least, the demi-cannon.

CA should honor you and change their name to AD, your work is masterfull.
AD a question for you,
If Sega offered you a position in modeling and skinning what will you say ?

Lastly, may Allah the merciful guard you from the eyes of danger that surrounds your beautifull mind and eyes.
Thanks for your dedication AD.

Just a quick update.

There's a hold-up on the guns due to a further 3D lighting issue. KE is looking into it and hopefully once it's fixed I can look at packaging and releasing 1.2.

Cheers
