Faction: Anglo-Saxons

[wackyserious]

Exactly

My example above was just a photomanipulation and not an actual mesh

Anglo-Saxon barracks proposal (Can be created by joining two copies of the house mesh on the right, it uses the 4x4 gravel decal)

Additional props: campfire, and two wooden bench

 

Missed that one. Would that do ?

I've made a sketch for the barracks here:

https://wildfiregames.com/forum/uploads/monthly_09_2015/post-16101-0-81217600-1442967197.jpg

I looks more like a hall.

@stanislas69 Nice! The cloth on the bench + the shield makes it very distinctive, we should also use it on the Civ Center.

But Le Druide Gaulois mentioned that there was already a concept for the barracks. We can maybe use it as a placeholder for the mean time.

Here are some concepts for the market, it uses the Atlas stall entity/props (The one on the right also uses two bench props)

Gonna use it as the market likeon the bottom left reference. I need to edit the cloth to make it like squres and not lines to match the other drawings. I'll start the barracks. Tell me I remember seeinf stuff about missing helmets and props do you remember where it was ?

 

Edit : the CC will have his shields

- 2.) and 3.) are most likely the common ones

- 4.) is very much similar to 3.) only with aventails, plus brass parts

- 1.) was more likely ceremonial or onamental (including this would be optional, IMO)

The barracks looks cool!

Stan, here's what I have in mind about the ruins that I discussed at

I installed Blender and watched tutorials again earlier today and made this, UV mapping is really painful.. (scale is the same as a single short stone wall)

 

[Stan`]

UV are always a pain. It looks like you managed to do it anyways, congrats ! 

 

[wackyserious]

Thanks! Reading this one really helped me a lot https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Blender_3D:_Noob_to_Pro/UV_Map_Basics

I'm not sure if I'll manage to finish all the ruins piece.. that one mesh took me hours to complete.

[Stan`]

That's not something with a high priority, you can work on it as a side task if you have textures to make.

 

For some reason every color is **** up, and so is the anglo saxon texture.

[Le Druide Gaulois]

The models are looking great, guys. Wonderful job! I really like the top left version of the market, btw.

@stanislas69: We have a player color mod inside Millennium A.D., it might be that that collides if you have an old version of 0 A.D.

[Stan`]

Ah yeah, I only downloaded A20 on my LapbrokenTop and it's version > 0.21 so I guess that's it. Strangely enough it's not the first time I experienced that. Did your color mod get into S.V.N. ? I heard it was better 

[niektb]

 

@stanislas69: ow, then I don't know what the issue is... (it works fine here). 

But I noticed that the Saxon buildings have severe normal (?) issues, what was the cause of that? (I forgot):

Spoiler

Also the clothing on the benches is broken (they are completely black and without player color)

Edited April 27, 2016 by niektb

[Stan`]

Well the clothing is because of the texture, cause it works fine in Blender.

About normals can you be more specific ?

Then what's wrong with the texture?

You can see the roofs from the stable, right?

[Stan`]

Mmmh yeah smoothing groups. I don't have advanced materials enabled so I didn't see that.

Alpha channel most likely :/

[wackyserious]

This is how I wanted to use the ruins eyecandy

 

[wackyserious]

(Stables = Town phase structure)

We can make the border horseman as a Town phase unit, make them trainable only at Stables

[niektb]

Ah, forgot to move the stable to the town phase

The Border Horseman is already a Town Phase unit, but trainable at both the CC and the Stables. Should I remove it from the CC?

[wackyserious]

Yeah, I think we should, to depict better historicity, since the Anglo-Saxons didn't fully relied on cavalry. (Some players may also start spamming cavalry at village phase, which is kinda lore breaking)

@wackyserious I believe you experimented quite a bit with player color. Could you look at the anglo_struct and tell me why the cloth and banner don't work ?

[wackyserious]

Where are the banners and cloth mapped at? I checked the structure texture and the only thing with transparency are the red colored things below.

I'm not sure if the default player color caused it, I only asked Niek to tweak the allocated RGB in the .xml file

[Stan`]

Mapped at the two bottom ones.
