Gotta make money first before indulging in hobbies - we'll still be here, waiting.....
Indeed. This mod is looking so good, I'm sure it'll be worth the wait, regardless of how long you need to take. We'll still be here, excited for whatever news you bring next.
Im gonna wait for the mod sure, but i cant promise i will be still around, i can only hope.
Thanks guys. I'll do my best to progress in the development, but the coming few months I fear it will be baby steps.
Anyway, since I have less time to work on the mod, I thought I should just show some of the stuff I've been working on. This weekend I've been working on the old-style armour for Samurai that will feature prominently among the more elite Samurai, like generals and Daimyo. All I have to show for right now is a pic of the WIP model. It still needs some work (adding cords attaching the o-sode to the body, fixing and adding textures for the helmet parts such as the fukigaeshi) but it does show the general idea of how it will look like.
Cheers!

Definitely take your time with the new job, good luck with that
The mod can always wait, it won't go anywhere. Slow but steady

So, it's been a while since my last update. My fulltime job is demanding a lot from me, but I try to spend part of my spare time on this project. Everything is going well. I've added more armour types (scales) and worked out the ashigaru model. I'm currently busy working out assets such as the bow, quiver and naginata and (re)organizing textures. It's boring stuff that's hard to present to the public as of yet, but it's essential to getting stuff done. I still need to create an intermediate elite samurai version, which is not low-grade samurai, but not quite 'general-grade' either. Anyway, things are progressing.

So there's some good news and bad news. Let me begin with the bad news.
The bad news is that my computer is having serious issues. A few months ago my GPU died and so I bought a cheap replacement. Now my computer is having trouble detecting a harddrive and overall feels quite unreliable.
The good news is that nothing has been lost whatsoever (due to backups) other than time. Other good news is that my new work has allowed me to buy a completely new computer that's quite future-proof (i7 10700k, 32 GB RAM) with superfast SSD. My current computer is some 13 years old anyway (i7 920, 6GB RAM) so I had planned to buy a new one at some point in time and apparently that time is now.
Also good/bad news is that my temporary extra work is over for the next few months, so I have more time to work on the mod again (and perhaps trying a few new games here and there... )
Cheers!

Working with M2 gives you a larger map scale.
First gen i7? Yeah, you were quite due an upgrade!

Hi Razor!
However, armor upgrades can only add +1 point for 3 upgrades. Or at most 3 points for a single upgrade.
I would like to ask if you have a list of all the settlements and regions in the campaign?
It would be nice in the future to have the vassals units (with the various sashimono etc ...) of each playable faction.
Actually, I don't think there's that much of a difference in scale compared to Shogun 2. What is different is the amount of detail in terms of mountain passes and rivers and overall detail.
Yep, first gen, however I must say that the old i7 920 served me quite well.
I'm not sure what you mean exactly with your comment on armour upgrades.
I do have a list of regions and settlement names. But it's just that: a list.
As for vassal units, I intend to add an ability for the player to revive defeated factions and have them act as vassals/close allies.
Also, I take it that you don't have any pictures of your modded units anymore?

Ah, I see. Well, too bad, I guess. If I may ask, what changes did you make on the Imjin War mod?
No problem. Here's the descr_regions.txt file that I'm using at the moment. That in combination with the map on the first page should give you all the info about regions and castles/settlements.

Also a small update. As you might have learned that work on the mod has been slow the past few months. However I'm back to modding since this week so I expect things to go faster. I'm working on finishing 3D assets such as weapons (a variety of naginata, yumi longbow, quivers, teppo ammo pouches). I'm currently working on a number of tetsubo/kanabo.
I also realize that I haven't shown any ashigaru yet. Oh well, here are a few shots of some of the stuff I've been working on:

Fantastic work, as usual
Do you make the textures completely from scratch? The naginatas are beautiful!

Thanks.
I make most of the textures completely from scratch. Only a few snippets come from elsewhere but they have been used as a base and have been reworked quite a bit to make them work with my own textures and models.
