KCC 0.9.3
for SSHIP 0.9.5



The purpose of this mod is to recreate a medieval atmosphere as close as possible to what we know of the time. The game begins in the 12th century.

My priority is therefore to give the player a credible aspect of the costumes and armor worn at the time, the beginning of the game seems to me the most important,
because a TotalWar campaign is actually an uchronie (we start from a given era and we change the story).


Having mainly knowledge for Western factions (I am French), I will focus my work on these areas of Europe. For starters, I am dedicated to changing visible units on the battlefield.
I also modified the strat models of the generals, kings and captains as well as the portraits of the latter. Subsequently, I will also modify the information windows for the same reasons.






KCC 0.9.3 (Kostic Chronology Costumes) April 6, 2019

Requires: A clean version of SSHIP 0.92 or you can paste KCC 0.9

Installation:
1 - Download KCC 0.9.2 and unzip the file
2 - Copy the contents of the folder "KCC 0.9.2" in the data folder of "Medieval II Total War" or in the root folder of the game and accept the replacement of the files.

Download here : https://www.moddb.com/games/medieval...nloads/kcc-092

notes:
- The peasant archers and the archer militia were redone to remove the texture bug that saturated the screen when these units were in contact with swordsmen. This, however, removes the animation of "laying the arrow" that existed before.
- The longbowmen have not been redone yet. It will be for the next version.
- historical coherence is valid until the mid-thirteenth century for French units. The other Western factions have not yet been completely revised. It will be for the next version.
- I think the next update will complete the 12th-13th period. If I still have energy and motivation, I will then tackle the 14th-15th period.
- If another mod installed on the same session ends up with my modified deceased portraits, just go to the Medieval II Total War files / data / ui / and change the names of the eastern_european and southtern_european folders to o_eastern_european and o_southtern_european for example...

I was looking forward to this kind of modification since 2006 !
They look really great ! Keep it up !!

Thank's for these returns !

Thanks!

[Dapacem]

I really fail to see what is good looking about this new reskin that sship is using and that you are expanding upon. Im not sure how historic it is but it sure does make the soldiers look like skeleton lego peons

[kostic]

Look at this: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...y-redone-units

[Dapacem]

Yeah I get you, you got rid of the plate armor but most soldiers and especially knight wore multiple layers of paddings, cloathing and armor and together with great physique this would make them look alot different from what you are doing. Especially the arms like you really make the units seem like they are skeletons wrapped in one layer of something on their thin skellety body and this is why alot of the original medieval 2 and stainless steel models actually look better and even more realistic and historic according to my beliefs.

[kostic]

If I understand you correctly, it is a question of "muscles" ...

Actually, the units of this mod (Sandy units) are not completely satisfactory concerning this point. The bodies are a little too thin, the arms too. But from there to be so critical ...
Regarding the costumes, it is much more respectful and credible than the units of the original game, I think.

My ug1 mailed knights are based on another model that should perhaps please you more ... They will be in my next version.





















I think to be rather well documented concerning the costumes of the Middle Ages, but I am not a professional of 3D models !

In the meantime, do not forget that
we do this work by passion and without remuneration.

[Lifthrasir]

Considering that you're quite new in this, your work is already good. You'll improve with practice and experience. No worries
Don't give up. You have the potential.

PS: archers bug not fixed yet but I'm not forgetting it

[kostic]

Thank you for your message Lifth, but it seems to me that Dapacem does not criticize my work so much as that done by Sandy ...
I also find his point of view interesting but quite excessive.

[Dapacem]

Lol Its not really the muscles that make the difference altho they play a role, me myself im not particulary super muscular and otherwise quite skinny but I still look quite big when I put a jacket on or just a sweatshirt and now imagine if I put on actualy multiple layers of hard protectice armor and some stuffing, I would be double or tripple or even more of my normal size. I think many people get this idea that mail armor is just like a mail shirt you put on but that would obviously hardly protect anybody, you have to have alot of stuff under it and some over it even to make it all fit and move well together and actually reach its full potential.
But I like the new pictures you posted, it seems alot more accurate.

[kostic]

I understand your remarks. My next version will change the look of some of my units.

[Frunk]

It seems as though your spoilers in the OP are empty.

[kostic]

Yes. My web host disappeared without warning. I have to look for another more reliable one.
