Regalia of Nations v 3.5 (Flags, Sounds, Uniforms, Effects Mod) Discussion Thread (Updated 7/06/09)

I assume its self-contained, but I can't promise that because I had unlocked the Minor factions prior to using this mod.

+rep Love the idea of this mod and cant wait to be part of the team!

@Taxandrius - Yes, all Non-Emergent Countries are playable. The Emergent ones show up when you go to select a campaign, but starting one with an emergent will result in a crash.

I'm proud to introduce our First Uniform Artist, Smatussek1! Welcome to the team Smatussek!

thank you! gonna start working on Austria now.

Can't wait to see some of your work in action Smatussek! Shall I start providing some uniform pictures as well now? I've come across a couple decent sources for uniforms while searching for flags.

Some Austrian Line Infantry, 1756:


Austrian Line, 1720:


Austrian Artillerymen, 1762:

That link had the previous pictures, and tons more. Great source, and plenty more Austrians there too.

I also found this one:
http://nba-sywtemplates.blogspot.com/

It doesn't provide actual illustrations, but has tons of colorized templates. It's worth a look too, and has a lot of Minor factions.

[Aykis16]

That last picture has a really good Austrian Officer too. I like the white gloves espeically.

I found this pic for Grenadiers Pre-1978:

Cool, The shape of the jacket might pose difficulties, but Ill see how it goes. Gonna start with line infantry. Is there any time period I should restrict to? I think 7 seven years war era and after would probably be the best since the models in the game best fit that time period.

Wow, this is excellent thank you! The last link will help me work on Hannover especially, but austria comes first.

Shoot the 1756 Line isn't showing up... I prefer their uniform to the 1720 one above, and plus I think I like the Seven Years' War stuff better when its available. I'll try to get the link to work...


EDIT:
1756 (Seven Years' War) Austrian Line:

thanks, looks a bit similar to the one ingame but I see what needs changing: the colar, the scarf, boots, buttons and the jacketfolds. Also probably a much darker green.

Smatussek, Here's an invaluable resource: http://www.kronoskaf.com/syw/index.php?title=Armies

Clicking on a specific Army and then a specific type of Military Unit shows the Uniform and Regimental Flags. Unfortunately its not complete, and the Austrian Infantry is especially incomplete but theres still a wealth of information to be found there.

Thanks this is definatly a great site for sources. Ill definatly refer to this often. I like the way they have the uniforms drawn from the side. Gives me a good overview.

This is a collection of illustrations referenced in Aykis' link above. A lot of them fall well after our timeframe, and its not in English unfortunately, but its not too hard to figure out what you're looking at.

Thanks, this is a great source. I actually used it when I worked on the german factions. Im german so I can speak german fluently. Its not a problem.

[Kip]

Excellent. I've had a look at your German Flags/Uniforms mod, and the only thing that's kept me from downloading it is I'm currently fixated on the Spaniards as my faction of choice

I can't wait to see your troops in conjunction with Aykis' flags though. The German factions (and other minor factions, for that manner) are in dire need of some overhauling... man, its gonna be so great to see this mod once it has progressed far enough to include all factions.

I agree with you I have a good feeling about this mod. Theres alot of factions though, so Im itll definatly take a while till all thats done.

[Kip]

I really wish I could actively contribute, but I have zero skills as far as modding and graphic arts. I would've given learning some basics over the summer a shot, but I actually have a couple research positions I need to look into this summer at a hospital, and if I land one of them, my time will be severely constrained

[Aykis16]

I'm also looking into learning to alter uniforms so hopefully I can find someone who can explain it to me. The Gloss Maps especially, confuse me. As do the fact some nations don't even have a texture pack.

Also, I've been contacted by someone who is starting a Mod Archive and wants to give us our own forum. So that will be nice. We can use that forum for Posting our Research and stuff and use this one to update the fans.
