Carthage Reloaded - Full Pack Release

[Hannibal Smith]

@ haeressiarch
I wasnt suggesting that it didnt occur, I was stating that there are doubt as to the acurracy of reports of child sacrifice. (something which is mentioned in your link) equally I have have read many reports of roman infanicide.

In truth I dont believe that my thread is the place for this discussion as I dont really feel that it has any relevence to the units that I've made (I'm not that deep )

[hæressiarch]

@ Hannibal Smith

oh sure there are doubts, but not many. i know also about romans killing their children ("hannibal at the gates!"), and greeks, and... it was a largely common part of ancient religions
it was not m intention to be disturbing sorry. units are great i am having fun with them congrats again mate!

[Hannibal Smith]

appreciated I guess I dont want to get into the morality, as on the whole I dont agree with it (read too much Nietzsche). Nice to see you on the thread haer good friends always welcome btw I'm very impressed with your latest previews I dont think I've looked forward to a mod more

[Hannibal Smith]

final models ready and they are the officers. The detail on the generals breast plate has been modelled rather than just skinned, keeps the details from stretching





first post has been updated and the full pack with LOD + sprites will follow. Ive put it all in a mod folder for testing so I thing thats how I will release it, easy for the people new to modding and experienced modders can just pick out the files they want

[Killerbee]

Nice ! Gotta love the dude's armour (you know wich armour i mean )

[Lü Bu]

Nice!!

[Finch]

Great work dude

just a suggestion the color of the armor seems to be the darker than the rest of the armor, any plans of making it brighter so that it blends well with the rest of the armor? if you know what i mean.

[Kylan271]

Veryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy impresssed. The armour is beautiful...!!!! I also notice the helmet detail and the greaves are well made also,not melded to the skin as some. You have given me some ideas,hmmm,and yep I am jealous.

[Emperor Domitianus]

Yes really good ones. Well done.

But the first post download doesn't include the officers yet?

[Conqistador]

good work HS!

[Hannibal Smith]

Ok very close to being ready. Ive put the new officer models in as stratmap models as well now and they seem to be working well.

@ Emperor Domitianus
The first release contained a standard bearer but not the generals. It was basically just the stuff I'd previewed.

@ KingDesra
Ive decided to release the full pack as a modfolder so it will be really easy, and for those who want to put them into other mods I figure that they're probably experience enough to find the relevent files.

So whats changed apart from officers (and there strat map models)?

Ive made some changes to some of the models.

Iberian Cavalry - The shield has been altered its still a solid shield, but it need to be altered inorder to make an LOD model.

Companion Cavalry - The helmet has been remodelled to make it a bit more balanced. I went over board smoothing out the older one and as such its too heavy.

All models now have LOD versions (exept for the balearic slingers and numidians - as they were quite small anyway) Most LOD are around the 30kb mark rather than 60Kb

Sprites and unit cards have been implemented for all units.



Only one last thing I havent made any GLOSS files, mainly because I cant even tell if they're working on my computer. So the question is do people think they are needed? If so I'll look into making them

[Conqistador]

imho gloss files aren't important

[hæressiarch]

i like glossiness

[Andalus]

The Carthaginian general looks outstanding!

[Hannibal Smith]

Ok glossiness included, although just for Haer the rest of you will have to do without

The full pack is now in the downloads section, as I said earlier some of the models have changed so its worth downloading.

If you like the pack please leave a comment on the download page

Edit: if there are any problems just PM me and I'll do my best to help

[Emperor Domitianus]

I am happy your thred is among the best like Ferres one.
Secondo I noticed the pack is bigger.
Another thing. About the archer even if they are not shown in the pic in the downloafing section, do they have a card?
Thanks for the work on those carthaginians.

[Lü Bu]

Thread Stycked!

[Hannibal Smith]

@ Emperor Domitianus If you downloaded the beta 1st release the archer cards were in there. I didnt include them in this pack though. If you need the UI cards I'll attach them and you can use the elephant archer as the model just change the skeletons. Its bigger because there are more than twice as many texture files (GLOSS) twice as many models (LOD), also the files I needed to make in mod foldered like maps and such make it larger (which makes it more accessable to new modders)

@ karlost123456789 Yes I'm very pleased . Aradan mentioned it but I didnt want to post it on the thread in case it didnt happen.

I would appreciate the cards, yes.
So the archers for elephants are the same to use as foot?

[Hannibal Smith]

Not quite the foot archers I has in the original pack had a quiver of arrows on their backs. However each arrow was a model rather than a box skinned as normal so the model was very big. The elephant archers are the same without the quiver and arrows.
