[POLL] Corpse Removal Option
nifa replied to Stan`'s topic in Game Development & Technical Discussion
or only show the helmets? Less gpu intensive, less violent, easy to count.. Or maybe other props like sword/shield? I just don't know what to do with the units without those things -
could be useful to prevent misclicks

A "psychic" shader mod; development begins...
nifa replied to DanW58's topic in Applications and Contributions
Thank you for your fast reply, the water is back:) but there now is quite a different between with and without GLSL, is that how it should be? Yes, I think so too, especially in combination with high quality shadows -

Nice, just found out that it's working with my other graphic card, but not with the onboard graphic, idk if that's helpful but then I get this with my the other with my external gpu: -

I get this error on the map "oceanside": This is with GLSL disabled: Did I do something wrong? Apart from that, thanks, everything else is looking really nice:) -
I think "unknown" should be a new diplomatic status. Not only hide the civ, also make all other interactions impossible, like no tribute, no spies, maybe hide their borders etc..
-
I had some ideas, it's not a complete suggestion but maybe i can get the discussion running:) Right now there are only 3 kind of diplomatic relations, which are Neutral, Enemy and Ally. I think it might be nice to add "unknown", as I've seen people many people requesting here on the forum. Further, right now all three diplomatic relations are balanced. Adding uneven relations, like Vassal state / Hegemonic state could add some dynamics to the gameplay. The idea is, that when you have heavily damaged an opponent, you can make him your vassal and focus on other opponents, while still being able to have some control over him. On the other hand the vassal has the opportunity to come back to power in later game. As far as i see in alpha 24 there are three variables to be controlled, which are whether attack is possible, shared vision and shared dropsites. More possible variables could be: Territory invasion: Make it unpossible to move units into another players territory (unless support units). This could also prevent some sneaky moves Continious tribute: Paying a percentage of all gathered resources (not at once, but like out of 10 wood gathered 1 goes to the hegemonic power) Production ban on siege: Make it impossible to produce rams, catapults etc In the end this could look like this: This is only a basic idea, other ideas are welcome:) Allied and team might be one too much, out of Protectorate and vassal state one might be enough too. Historical correctness might be improved. So far all relations only have effects between the two parties, maybe an effect on the relation with others is desired, like abolishing trade with a third party and so on

nice work I think the windmill, the forge and the saw mill are my favourites. I wonder why the fortress towers have glass doors to the outside, that seems a little unpractical
-
I agree with Sundiata also I don't see why it should make an opinion more important how good you are in playing or what rank you have
-
Hi and welcome
-
Something different I noticed (sorry ): Rams are able to attack ships, is that how it should be?
-
That's definitly better, Speerkämpfer sounds like a melee unit, while Speerwerfer (literally Spearthrower) makes it clear that it's a ranged unit
-
Thanks for the answers and sorry for triggering Anyway, since we are off-topic now: actually, correct me if I'm wrong, many fortifications (at least in Europe) started with only moats, earth walls or palisades, which later were replaced by stone walls. And in cases of palisades, the towers were not build directly in the palisades, but behind it. So technically I think (kind-of) standalone towers might still be historically accurate at least in some cases. But behind stone walls it looks odd, that's true Regarding the ranges, I understand both sides, I think it's ok for now. Emphasizing scouting sounds good. If there is one perfect building order applicable for all occasions then something is wrong. That would make it boring. That basically all buildings are abstractions is kinda true. I doubt that cultures without a professional army even had barracks. I think the less developed cultures didn't have a clear distinction between living, working and military. Germanics (and celtic?) tribes e.g. had byre-dwelling longhouses where people and animals lived together, so that would be corral + house, and I think there are many more examples like these
-
Thanks! Yes, I think it would look nice. I like this approach to "force" the players not to build randomly but also to make it look good. I'm looking forward to your mod in a24
-
I noticed that there are 13 practice ranges (the structure) in atlas, but it seems that I can't build any of them ingame, so I was wondering why they have been left out?

It seems that the title of the Catafalque Bonuses page misses translation edit: and there is a problem with this text: edit: there are a couple more of these, I guess the German language has too many long words :d

I'm pretty new here as well, but I read across a lot of stuff in the forum, also your posts. As far as I can see the people here have many different interests, there are artists, historians, gamers, programmers and so on, and for many of them it's not their professional field (my field of studying is actually completly unrelated to this :D). I can only speak for myself, but I had a hard time trying to understand what you were writing (due to my lack of knowledge and since it's not my mother tongue), but I like your dedication and I read out of your posts that you seem to have a lot of professional experience, so I'm pretty excited for the results Anyway, what I'd like to say is that a huge part of the community might not follow you on every step but when you present a final result you will get the recognition for it. So keep it up -
to reaim yes, but not to reload. If the unit already has an arrow or stone or whatever it's shooting, it's strange if it just disappears. Though I agree the a23 way wasn't perfect either, especially if the new target would be behind the unit. I guess making it depending on the angle between old and new target couldn't be a quick solution? Like below maybe 45 degree turn a23 way, otherwise cancel and reload? Anyway, I'm looking forward to how it's done in a25! Thanks!

Looks nice You might want to change the doors though, are they two parts? Is there a doorknob? In case they are sliding doors, I think they should be on the outside, otherwise it wouldn't be possible to open them. You might want to remove the doorstep too
-
@Freagarach@Stan` I tested again and I seriously think something went wrong with canceling attacks. The first video is from a23, the second from a24 OnagerA23.mp4 The onager is loading, then you give the command to attack the other house -> the loading continues and it turns and shoots OnagerA24.mp4 The onager is loading, command to attack other house -> cancels loading Is that intended? In this case it doesn't look too bad, but with other animations like the javelinist it looks really strange. and of course it changes gameplay too

hey @azayrahmad, I was wondering if it would be possible (and desirable) to display a terrain texture around a building to display the aura range instead of the circles? So e.g. there would be a specific city pavement around the houses, that would give it a nice city like look:) Maybe different textures for different "city areas", nice stone tiles around houses and CC, dirt around military buildings, and hay or grass around farms
