Kahvi's mercenaries (New Sorceresses at post 907 -24.5.2016 )

[Vice]

Thanks. Looks good to me! Dling and installing !

[Ethien]

Thanks to Vice for showing these to me and thanks to you, Kahv for making this! One of my favorite units in the franchise now won't look silly.

[crisord]

very good, just the texture hammer improve

[Finlander]

Very nice kahvipannu.

[Futurebot]

+Cred for the amazingly much smoother-looking Warrior Priests

[AllianceDeath]

Wow such good models, what program do you use for making models like that?

[T&D]

He is using milkshape 1.8.4

[Kahvipannu]

Yeah, Milkshape. I doubt I will ever have time to invest to learn something better, and I'm very comfortable with MS now.

Hi Kahvipannu, good to see you back. Will you release the next version of your submod before 1.6? Or are you waiting to make it 1.6 compatible?

[Kahvipannu]

It is almost done for current version. If I remember correctly only thing I had to do was adding voices. I'll try to check it at some weekend.

[T&D]

Propably developers will include this mod in next patchie.
PS: Nice to see you back Kahvi.

[Kahvipannu]

I think the units will be in the next patch.

So, I finally got to go thru the files where I was at, and it is pretty much ready to release. I have some new sounds for rangers, and for Iseara. I was planning to add them for Vespero too, and unique ones for Anakonda, but it's so long time when I last time worked this, and the sound files I had just barelly figured out, now it is frustrating to work with them, so I will cut those out for now, so I can finally release the damn thing.

There is couple bugs I found, like wrong anc descriptions, wrong banner, etc, but everything else is in place. I will make new short recruitment video for Amazons, and that is the last thing I will do as new thing, and I will upload the files.

It will be a tad bigger file becouse of the new voices and videos. Basically it will have all the voices from Gallopers mod, but I have included the update for them for Gigs version, and the fix for info pics, so it should make installing all that a tad easier for clean installation of RoDG. I hope Galloper won't mind it, but it is only way to add voices there. If he comes back at some point I will post rest of the voices for him, so he can add them. Also my tweak to the files that will show markets, barracks, etc on the battlefield will be included.

So hopefully I get this out soon. One thing is if someone is willing to test the files before I upload them here, that everything works, I would appreciate it.

EDIT:

Currently it seems everything is working, I'm uploading the files, will take a while tought since it is over 500 mb.

[Kahvipannu]

Here is the files, I'll put installation orders and such to OP today after work tomorrow, with full feature list.
Also I noticed a small mistake in the export_desc_unit I made just before packing the files, so don't install this yet, its for download now only, I'll put hotfix for that too tomorrow.

[Kahvipannu]

Little bit more monologue. I'm in a middle of upudating the OP, I will remove all the old useless junk, and make it less heavy to load. I'm putting some 2d stuff I have made in the mod too, you can see the full feature list right now at post 2. If something is what people don't like, I will remove them then. I don't know if anyone remembers, but I had some new skins for Daemonettes, mostly just new faces, hair, and skin, but I'm currently finishing theyr normals, so once that is done I'll put rest of the files up.

Here's a pic, it's old skin, just reworked partially. Image is a bit blurry, once again it seems I need to find new good place to host pics, since the last one went pay only

[Lord Necromancer]

Kahvi, im sorry maybe im missed something or maybe im a tad lazy to read but could you provide a short list of content in your release. Also your download link seems to be broken

[T&D]

Gamefront don't working for some countries.
528 mb

[Kahvipannu]

Hmmm.. I need a place to upload big file, gamefront seemed to allow do that, but mediafire didn't allow me to do that. The size is big becouse Gallopers sound file. Any suggestions?

Also current new stuff in this release, once I get the second part of the download ready, is here:

[Lord Necromancer]

Ahhh, thats what the case Kahvi, emmm... torrent maybe? Or partial segmentation of the file, but thats a long and painfull way...
PS Marvelous change list

[Kahvipannu]

The problem is that the sound file alone is almost 500mb, so it can't be cutted to pieces. I included it since many people seem to have problems updating it for Gigs version, and it is only way to add more voices is to add them to that one file. I can upload it for you without the sound file if that helps? Until I find other place to host, gf is not good since as T&D stated, not all can dl from there.

And yeah, it is good chunk of stuff I think too, it's nothing that will directly make game better, but worth downloading once I get it ready. And hopefully some of these will make to the next patch too as before. I recently just cutted content off that I still had in plans, mostly voices, but you know what happens when you just keep adding content, it is hard to get finished. So I just draw the line here for now. But I have the text files ready in this release so that I can add them later without making the update non-save compatible.

[Kahvipannu]

Here's the daemonettes literally new skins. Last time I showed them I got critique they are too ugly, but if people want pretty face ones, I can propably make those alternative. But I think they do look now a bit more intimitating and daemonic:



And if anyone can suggest good upload places for big-files, or good place to host pictures which doesn't down-scale/grade pictures, that would be awesome.
