Thread: Hawkins' Greatcoats Mod, getting soldiers out of the cold.

  1. #1

    Default Hawkins' Greatcoats Mod, getting soldiers out of the cold.

    NOTE THIS IS NOT A HISTORICALLY ACCURATE MOD.

    This mod gives the main Prussian and Russian soldiers greatcoats. It seemed to me that they needed the coats since it is cold where they mainly operate.

    Installation
    Place the Hawkins_great_coats.pack in your NTW data folder. Then in your user script file place this "mod Hawkins_great_coats.pack;" (no quotes).

    Units with the coats.
    Prussian
    Musketeers
    Grenadiers
    Fusiliers
    Foot Guards
    Heavy Dragoons
    General's Staff
    General Blucher's Staff and General Blucher now wears a hat.
    All Artillery

    Russian
    Musketeers
    Moscow Musketeers
    Grenadiers
    Heavy Dragoons
    [More with next version]

    This is great, but it conflicts with the "new prussian shakos" mod.

    You know what would be totally fantastic ? If you two guys- the person who made the shakos mod and yourself, joined forces and made some kinda awesome compilation or something. (between you and me though, I favor this mod over his.... because the coats just add something that was missing in the prussians before, hard to explain, dont tell anybody ! )

    Well guys I can't do anything until I get a new hard drive which will be two weeks. Your ideas are welcomed and I shall think about what to do next once I get up and running again. I'm using my iPod right now

    Blucher's hat doesn't fit. It's a very good mod though, even if my units are wearing the coats in Summer, haha!

    Hmmm,.. nice, but I have a few remarks:

    1. Most Russian and Prussian units in NTW wear their greatcoats rolled up over the shoulder. Judging by the screenshots, you have retained those rolled up coats, so now most soldiers are actually wearing two greatcoats: one on their body and a spair one over their shoulder.

    2. If you're gonna wear a greatcoat because the weather is so harsh, you're most likely gonna put a cover over your fancy shako as well.

    3. Greatcoats differed from country to country. French greatcoats were relatively tight fitting (like modern full length overcoats) whilst Prussian greatcoats were much more flaring at the bottom, which is why Prussian greatcoats could be rolled over the shoulder while French greatcoats had to be rolled up and carried on the back. This would hardly be visible ingame. However, Russian greatcoats differed by being a fair bit longer. While French and Prussian greatcoats extended to just below the knee, Russian greatcoats extender further to the ankles. Again judging by the screenshots the Russian greatcoats are definitely too short.
