[Submod]Hero_Abilities and UI customisations....advice / feedback / practical help needed...

[Noobio]

i've seen you only have 3 cultures subfolders in UI folder... (middle eastern ,northern and southern eu) and all of them without any interface subfolder..

could someone list me an "official" culture >> factions list ?
(the one you're going to conclude to in the final release ,even in a general outline..)

it would greatly help in something i'm working on...
i could try making some

-hero abilities ,like faction-specific rally and/or morale boosts
-custom ,faction-specific battle control buttons...
-and maybe some other ui customisation

can't promise i will actually complete everything about it ,but i could provide a well establisehd basis for
more "lore-experts" than me (i've only read the 4 first novels and just one time)

so give me a hand to get this finished - uploaded in time cause i won't be having proper internet for a long time ,in a while...

thanks

NE > Stark
EE > Greyjoy
SE > Baratheon (all 3), Joffrey, Frey, Tully, Lannister, Tyrell, Arryn.
ME > Martell

We actually do have culturual specific UIs, at least we definitely have an SE one, as can be seen in the campaign screenshots of the old Baratheon of Storm's End preview.

[Noobio]

well i just "reinstalled" (as in unziped) the alpha 0.53 and the only interface subfolder is in southern_eu ,culture

ps... what is NW for ?

[Murfmurf]

Yeah the UIs are in our version not yours

NW could be wrong, ask Lord!

EDIT: Greyjoy is EE.

[Noobio]

maybe New World ? as in "mesoamerican" culture ?? can't think of anything else relative,,

[Jebe]

Northwest?

[Murfmurf]

Lol folks read my edit in my second post!

[MagUidir]

so the Martell faction will be based of the muslim factions family tree? (where they dont have princesses and cant have a marriage alliance)

[Lordinquisitor]

Don`t worry, the martells will be able to marry and stuff.

[Heart of Madness]

Are they going to be re-skinned, because although most of them look great, others like the Martell Spearmen look a little corny.

[Lordinquisitor]

You have seen the Martell preview, haven`t you?

http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=366152

And if you don`t like those.. Well, then you are as mad as the Targaryens you like.

[Heart of Madness]

I said some, not all. And I've never even played them in-game yet. I'm sure they look much better in 3D.

[Lordinquisitor]

Don`t worry, i guess that depends on your personal taste. (I, for one, also think that one or two things could be improved, like the Household Guard.)

I doubt that we`ll work on the Martells much more; At least not for the 1.0 version.

[Heart of Madness]

Lol, I thought the Household Guard was one of the best, but a weapon change would be good.

i've done quite some work yesterday...i'm only gonna attach a part of it as preview ,as i don't wanna spoil the "surprise" when playing it...
main concept is

1...giving quite every starting general a "hero ability" ,that is gonna display his house's symbol (and words in the tooltip) ...
so this way ALL houses (even the minor ones) are gonna be rappresented in game ,in some way ...

2... the effects are gonna mainly be of three types....
a....rally routing units ,for most of the faction leaders
b....morale boosts or fear (like for example the "direwolf" ability for Robb, that is gonna scare a bit enemy armies)
c....."special" abilities ,for certain characters ...examples..

* since in the westeros world quite all generals are "knights" ,meaning riders , "the mountain" is gonna have a stamina + attack boost ,for just 10 secs...
this way by clicking the ability ,exactly upon impact ,one can simulate his monstrous charge without unballancing the overall battle situation ... just a quick "surgical hit" splashing the poor foes

Sounds really good to me! I'd love to see it implemented, or made into an submod after v1.0 is out. Have a rep

[Noobio]

there are still 3 culture slots availiable...if i'm not mistaken there can be up to 7 culture folders...so if till now you got...

1..EE ...ironborn
2..NE ...starks
3..ME ...dorne
4..everybody else...

maybe there should/could be some differenciation between

..."blue" factions (freys ,arryns and tullys)
and
.... "yellow-red" factions (lannisters ,joffrey and the baratheons)

total :6 and there's still one left for eventual submods etc for the targaryens or essos in general

ps...
thanks captain zoran i don't care for rep ,but a supportful attitude is always welcomed!

eastern_european doesn't work for my greyjoys...i've made a new folder in UI, called "eastern_european" but nothing happens...any hints ?

can't get to see my new buttons , for the greyjoys, ingame...how can someone know for sure which culture does each faction use ? is there any way to also select that ?

thanks

[Murfmurf]

Definitely EE, but it won't make any difference to the Alpha.
