Denmark Army Mod 1.1 - Link updated 19/07/2013

[carricanta]

Thanks Rayne. Yes I will include the "Sons of the Dannebrog" Prestige buildings. Erasmus has given me permission to include work from his mod in mine. As for a release-date I would say probably sometime in the next week or two because I want each unit to have an officer and I want to arrange the recruitment buildings and technology-required tables so that only early units are recruitable in early buildings/technologies and only late units (including later uniforms for the same regiment when they changed historically - usually from white to red from 1711) are recruitable later. I also have to thank Carricanta who has provided me with tonnes of research on Danish uniforms in 1699-1720 and yesterday sent me loads of information on Danish marines (unfortunately in Danish so I will have to translate it but it seems I can't select the text so it will take a while), without whom this mod would not be possible.

Update: Carricanta has sent me a link to 30 new Danish uniforms from 1767. Because I want to include them the release will be delayed.

Ha,ha,ha! Don´t put that blame on me, dude

Things are going okay except I would appreciate some help in making a base diffuse texture file for this new officer model I want to use. The only real problem is that the wig is appearing on the neckcloth. See below:

I'm also looking for late 18th century Danish marine pictures or descriptions. Carricanta has very kindly sent me a huge amount of information on this but its a pdf document written in Danish and the permissions appear to prevent me copying and pasting to a translator and it appears mainly concerned with officers uniforms rather than NCOs.

The last UVMap should fit better.
But I have problems with dds file : wigs are "hidden"

[Geronimo2006]

The wig was part of one of the head-joints in the old ETW euro_general_and_officers model, wangrin. The screenshot there would be fine except I want all of the old wig at the back of the head in.

[wangrin]

It's not really a problem with the UVMap, it's a problem withh dds texture.
You have an "alpha channel" use to mask formerly texture where the wigs texture is.
I can place wigs and belt UVMap wherever you want, but I can't modified dds as I don't have Photoshop (nor Gimp).

I also plan releasing a modded startpos that will remove the fog of war in Danish-regions when playing as Denmark and make Denmark an absolute monarchy.I've already created the startpos and I want to thank Fortes and HussarITW for their assistance in explaining how to do it. I've also replaced the old Frederik IV monogram (circa 1700) with the more common one on soldier's koppel-bags:

This was the only Danish cavalry regiment to receive breastplates in 1701 - even though officially all cavalry regiments were to the receive them - a requirement only implemented in 1708. At this stage the armour was not yet painted black. After the 1711 uniform-regulations it was.

Unit Preview: 1st Sjaellanske Regiment (1711 uniform). In this year the white uniforms were replaced with red ones with black cuffs - plus a breastplate:

You can move or remove those masks, depending if you want to use them or not or you can move wigs and belt texture.

I haven't a clue about that wangrin! Will need your help for the new officer model and texture. My only modding experience is editing existing textures to make new units, minor startpos edits e.g. remove fog of war, change forms of govt, and Prestige buildings. Creating new models is new to me and creating first-time textures (as opposed to using other ones as base) is new to me.

Late Danish Admiral wip (plate from 1764):

At some point after 1749 the navy replaced the redcoated uniforms with blue. The officers adopted blue in the 1750's and the ratings (except conscripts) did from 1752 (the latter having worne a grey one pre-1722 and a brown one in 1722-39). Cadets wore a grey coat until 1722 and the coat became blue in 1755. I have a picture from Carricanta's sources showing a NCO in 1797 wearing a blue-coat so I'm going to make a late marines unit with Prussian-blue coats and release a version with early/late marines on ships. It will likely be based on this picture of a "petty-officer" (an NCO) from 1792:

Thanks Carricanta.

Actually I think I might use the existing euro_marine model already in the game albeit with a reskin for late marines. I've noticed that for Denmark, it is fairly close to the real thing. See below with reskin:

I want to share with you this screenshot of an excellent early-officer model wangrin is making. I intend to use it in this mod as an officer for early units, and eventually to add it to the Portuguese too. +Rep for wangrin!
