A Modern Revolt!!! (HARD_)

[XxGREAT-BRITAINx]

Hi, I made this topic on a whim, I was in two minds wheather to propose this, but here goes; I wish to create a map dedicated to Britain, in a modern setting, with revamped strategy map cities, armies, generals, surroundings everything basically.

I wish to revamp all units, ad soldiers, so they are like modern British police, I wish to create mounted sections, normal patrol police (light infantry, perhaps), riot police, armed police (maybe but as it goes we disfavour armed units in thi country (I mean sections by units ).

I would also like to create a massive amount of cities without walls just massive motor way systems and large football fields and open grounds so soldiers could fight civilians/protestors like the riots in the 90s (i think it was then I was only born i n 1992 so not much knowledge of actual events).

Anyway I would like to rename and recreate all buildings, it would be based moreon fun and tactical anti disorder movements rather than taking provinces like vanilla etc.

I would like to recreate the actual look of the cities, so no walls just to look like I have descibed above, I don't know how to mod yet, but then again I haven't played this game in a while but now I have my new system with a GTX 295 2GB I am going to be on this all the time, and would find out how to mod and stick at it.

the only problem is I don't know, or rather dont have a clue how to edit the battle field o city, I would like the battle fields to be just plain open grasses with perhaps factories with a protesting camp next to it.

the units would be as follow:

Metropolitan police forces:

Light patrols (light infantry) just normal police officers with black coats mixed unit (men and women)

Anti protesting force; floresant jackets night sticks.

Dog section a small unit (I have just come up with this idea after seeing somebody has released a dog unit in released mods, i would obviuosily ask permission, and reskin so they were all german sheperds, different colours of course).

Riot police heavyinfantry; heavyly armoured blacked out gear with roman looking see through shields and night sticks.

S019 unit; rather small but heavly armoured unit around 20-30 strong equiped with G36C's with battle helmets and latest weapons attachments.

Civilians/protestors

Prrotestors; equiped withsticks, and fists.

Mob; knifes sticks, logs???, and other melee items.

other units not yet thought of.

Irish IRA;

Usual trouble with the irish but now they see trouble in england nd try to strike fear into the north of Ireland.

IRA;

snipers.

hitmen

mobsters

republicans.

The story could be Britain decides to declare war on Pakistan; the british public is in utter outrage and decided to take up arms against the government.

Also another unit could be the British army, infantry, armoured, but I don't think a revolt, even country wide would require the best trained soldiers to get involved.

I would need help to do all of this, or maybe not I may be good at moding when I research it, or perhaps not, but I would be very good at research etc.

I would need a skinner...well duno what else yet.

If anyone could tell me if this is possible and i'm very sorry for the lengh of this.

I don't know how we/i incoperate police vans/cars helicopters into the game, not as attacking forces but merely as forces to block civilians etc.

Ok, well, first of all, idont mod, but i have tried, but i have learned that rou are going to have atleast one of these several skills:

Map maker
scripting
skinner
coding and i think a few other stuff,

also, i believe there is no know or legal way to incorporate vans/cars in the game sorry

are you aware that the game engine hardly supports any modern attempt of gunpowder units (like machine guns)... a musket is as good as the game handles..

@ TheGuyWithNoImagination

Thank you that's twice you've helped me out now! .

@ Swagger

mmm I though it might of been a bit ambitious to have squads of s019 running about, lol, so I though I could maybe create a sniper sqaud, a smal unit of 5-6 men who always hit their target- equiped with a sniper rifle (obviously I could incorperate a sniper team) I would imagine I would just have to re-script the sound, take the smoke effect away, and most importantly reskin the gun!.

I am still in two minds on whether to create this mod, my "sway point" is depending on the answer to my next question.

Would it be possible to create a customised battle field, and implement it, obviuosly tweak it depending on the surrounds, around the entire strategy map?.

I could just probably create a field with set pieces on it, so make police van/ cars/bikes as set pieces like house now in vanilla, I could create somthing wih this, a roadblock, it would replace the fort option and would place police vehicles on the map and would be garisonable.

yes, but it's super duper hard and time consuming

only a few people know how to do it anyways...

[XxGREAT-BRITAINx]

Oh yeah sorry I have just realised it is incredably hard, I'm not being sarcastic BTW, I'm just a bit more informed now than I was the other day.

Oh well I'm alright will bellum crucis...and the crashes on the English conversion >_>.

[XxGREAT-BRITAINx]

lol Whilst going through my old posts... I came accross this... is this possible now with the XMB (I think that's what it's called lol) data being released?

[knin]

That was for Empire: Total War. Modding of this scale in M2TW is still...difficult, to say the least.

[XxGREAT-BRITAINx]

oh... I thought I posted this in the mempire section all those yars ago lol... ah well... thanks

[Wígár]

This is an interesting idea but I don't think it will take off as it would be extremely hard to make. But good luck.

[XxGREAT-BRITAINx]

^No problem, I gave up on the idea years ago when I posted this lol thanks anyway though Rep+ for the kind words
