  1. I thought we had an army of scenario designers in our team, Lion?(Shieldwolf and SiahH to name some)
  2. Make a civ json with appropriate starting entities.
  3. That little rope is in the movie. (And I think just visible by the uppermost gun)
  4. Well, I could think of including bayonets as a tech so maybe we could create a specific attachpoint for it? These musketeers of old used a matchwork to fire there musket. That needs to be in. But that long rope to bear the gun easily isn't needed.
  5. Maybe (but this is for mods with a long timespan) we could separate phase and epoch. Phase is for city size and amount/types of buildings you can build and epoch is for advanced/improved technologies and newer units etc.
  6. Well, for the textures and animations I'll point to Age of Empires III The Asian Dynasties for workable examples: Textures: Basic: Advanced: Elite: As for the animations: The current firing animation is good, but the loading part of it is not. This needs to be a gunloading animation rather than a bow one. This this movie a lot is explained about loading and firing an old musket. Also the walking and idle animations needs to be changed. More like holding a gun. References for the Gun:
  7. Units on walls workaround (if the 1x1 pathfinder finds its way, where is Philip, we need this guy back in 0AD). Commited in SVN by sanderd17
  8. Now if I would make a list: HP PRO 3500 (http://www.computerdepotgt.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=tpflypage.tpl&product_id=328&category_id=75&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=53) = Q740 Stronger Power Supply (500W) (http://www.guateganga.com/ciudad_de_guatemala/computaci%C3%B3n_y_tabletas/Fuentes_de_Poder_ATX_28132.htm) = Q140 Operating System (Linux Mint/Windows 8?) = Q0/Q? A decent Graphics Card (NVidia GTS450) (http://ciudaddeguatemala.olx.com.gt/tarjeta-grafica-asus-geforce-gts-450-1gb-iid-652413998) = Q900 That sums up for Q1780 (without Windows 8)! How about it? A decend PC all for the price of 25 hamburgers! (BTW I discovered that that HP PRO 3500 is still sold for 530 euro (=Q5300) in Holland)
  9. What do you call a good price? (sorry, but I'm a complete unknower in Guatemalian money) I discovered the same as I have in my system http://ciudaddeguatemala.olx.com.gt/tarjeta-grafica-asus-geforce-gts-450-1gb-iid-652413998
  10. According to HP this would be a full spec list: http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/pscmisc/vac/us/product_pdfs/HP_Pro_3500_MT_DS.pdf Seemingly you can insert a PCIe-x16 card (which is the newest standard) but not a too powerful one since the Powersupply is 300W.
  11. When scrolling through this website: https://compubrothers.wordpress.com/category/tarjeta-de-video/ What would be an affordable price for a graphics card? They have pretty new stuff but also ancient stuff (which you of course should avoid).
  12. A monetary calculator shows that 1 euro is roughly 10 quetzal so prices are comparable. This might be a decend deal? http://www.computerdepotgt.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=tpflypage.tpl&product_id=328&category_id=75&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=53 You only need to get yourselves a decend OS (FreeDOS is a bit old) and a graphics card. But I really can't find much computer part websites (maybe because I'm searching in English?)
  13. And what would roughly be your budget? (since 1600 is only a number, I don't know what a man would earn by working) And do you have a website for me where I can look around to get some overview of the possibilities and prices in Guatemala (preferably the site where you might buy your parts)? In Europe it would cost roughly 150 euro (the 750 Ti and in Holland).
  14. I don't know the prices in your country nor the money you use. Maybe you can explain that to us?
  15. If one needs a i7 to do the trick than it is obvious that there is some optimization to be done I guess.
  16. What boat? The Drekar? I think you could use the Snekkja as a base model and then just add some additional ornament, change some proportions, add that tent and the Dragon Head and you're all fine. The last ship (Karvi) requires some additional work I think though.
  17. I think for the nomadic game style other solutions can be found. A lot of players complain about the end-game because they have to hunt every single unit down in order to win. Most players hate playing 'hide-and-seek'.
  18. That blue border could be avoided by using the same image without the blue effect attached in the first post.
  19. I feel guilty that it took me so long to commit. So I've commited the Merchant, the fishing boat and the Snekkja. I was thinking of resizing the Snekkja a little, can I do so without messing up the armature?
  20. My rig doesn't (i5-3230M @ 2.6Ghz, 6 GB RAM, latest FF) It takes 14.1 msecs on average when looping here.
  21. Normally Yes (unless you got some kind of HTPC/Intel NUC). But you should be really careful with that. You should for example check whether the power supply unit is powerful enough (and with most pre-built systems the PSU is only just enough to supply the initial build) and when changing the processor you should check whether it fits with the main board (=motherboard). These and other things you should be aware of when upgrading.But of course it is possible to replace the motherboard and the PSU also. Indeed. If you can afford yourselves an SSD you should definitely buy one.
  22. Gen.Kenobi's approach was a mere hack to set the particle speed relative to the model it is attached to (instead of setting it global). After that there were improvements made to implement it nicely (I discovered that while I was working on the Ashigaru Musketeer). I now know how to create particles and how to change their direction/speed. It's not really difficult.
  23. NVidia works perfect with AMD CPU's from my personal experience. (3 different NVidia GPU's with 2 different AMD CPU's and never had any problems with it). Phenom Black Edition was a gem in it's time (I have one right now in my rig, unfortunately it has trouble with running the game smoothly. (Though it is only a quadcore @2.2GHz, while there are Phenoms that are 6-core @3.6GHz) but is now a few years old (2008 ~ 2009). If you can get a 6-core (like AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition) second hand cheaply then you might give it a try. But I'd rather go with something newer. (These Penoms aren't sold for new anyway, at least not in my country)
  24. But when selecting a building it is possible to pick a unit to train with the hotkeys 'Z' till 'M' with Z corresponding to the first position.
