Title: Donations for quality armours.
Post by: Panos_ on November 12, 2013, 09:47:37 pm
I know that I`m not the only one who believes that the mod, needs some new armours/helmets/gloves/boots/horses/shields, because in a roleplaying game, diversity is everything.

In various warband forums, there are a lot of OSP`s with plenty of new gear, but the quality is not the best  so everytime someone suggest them to be added, the devs reject it because of that.

Now on the other hand, there are some modelers out there, which their OSP`s are very high quality, I`m speaking about Dejawolf, Narf and Al Mansur .

Now to cut it to the chase, my idea is pretty simple, we gather 30 to 50 armours/helmets/gloves/boots/horses/shields pictures, all of them must be historically accurate, and after we do this, we start collecting donations, so we can buy the models from the modelers to add them exclusively to C-RPG.

I don`t know about you, but I`m more than willing to spare 20 euros for some new armours, but my only condition would be that the armours would be implemented to the mod.

Of course, I won`t be the one who will be keeping the money, it has to be someone trustworthy amongst the community  and with a Paypal account.

This is not a troll thread so I beg you to keep it as clean as possible.

Do not post any pictures yet, I opened this thread to see what you guys think, and to add a 7 day poll regarding the matter!


Edit for some corrections in the OP.

Sure why not, especially if they would remake Samurai armors, I would also gladly help with PayPal

In before the thread is full of people posting pictures of models they want.

I dont' have money for this, but I am not opposed to other people doing this.  I will vote in the affirmative.

I`m a Greek, my country is in deep shit, and yet I`m more than willing to spare 20 euros to improve a game that I play almost everyday, I`m pretty sure everyone can pitch in..  :wink:

no.  already enough armor/weapons.  No need to add more that need to get balanced with existing equipment.   There's already so many different types of builds you can make with existing equipment (talking about stats, not looks). 

Only way I think this is a good idea, is if you make new armors on par with an existing armor, so it only adds a different look, not different stats/prices.

So I guess I changed my mind from beginning to end of post :P I think it's a good idea if they match already existing armor stats.

I don't really believe the mod needs more armor or weaponry all that badly, it'd be awesome if someone took the time to make gear generally fit together with more gear through slight alterations (mail texture, armor size, dynamic cloth coloring, native pose for narfs latest armors, etc), but besides that we don't really need anything new gearwise that badly.

I am fully in favor of giving my contribution to update the mod ....

I'm so confused.  Who are you donating to?  To the modellers?  The devs?

The modellers have already done their work.  Donations, I'm sure, would be appreciated.

The devs are mostly working on their game, of which they've already been paid like $100,000 for.  So don't donate anything to them because they haven't produced their new game yet, and putting other models into CRPG would take away from their work on the new game.

Post by: Corsair831 on November 12, 2013, 10:52:28 pm
i'm not sure if donating's necessarily the answer but i for one would definitely support adding a shit ton more armours but giving them exactly the same stats as existing armours; if only to give a bit more variety

wouldn't be hard to implement and would give some people some fun :)

We give the donated money to the modelers, we actually want to buy the armours for c-rpg.

This is going to be the unpopular opinion but I am used to voicing that now:

When you really think about it, do new armours actually make the mod more enjoyable? If you look at how much the amount of armours has increased since 3 years a go, you'd think that made the game much more amazing using your logic. In my opinion it has not. I am excited as fuck anytime we get new items, but the novelty quickly wears off and it is just back to the grind after two months. I think the enjoyment of the mod of most players is barely influenced at all by new items when you look at two months after they have been implemented.

In my opinion the thing that is much more important and lasting for diversity and customization and really deserves an implementation attempt is this: http://forum.melee.org/suggestions-corner/colored-armors/

I kind of agree with you, but only when it comes to armors. New armors don't bring much to the table except for looks. Not saying that I don't appreciate new armors, but I am more exicted over new features and such. Weapons on the other hand are different to me because they can actually bring something new to the table in terms of playstyle. Sadly new weapons are rarely added.

Exactly, I said items one time but I do exclusively mean armours, as I think adding new weapons does have a more lasting enjoyable effect.

The fact that Zagibus stuff weren't added really makes me sad, definitely some of the stuff with the most potential we've seen.

What would make me more happy is to see the old items replaced or improved.

Nordic Warlord Helmet, for example.............. :|

Post by: zagibu on November 12, 2013, 11:46:51 pm
I would donate if someone reworked some of the items so they fit together better (some leg armors can only be used with certain body armors, because bones don't match, also, the mail textures of helmets and some armors clash a lot). Also maybe rework some of the lower quality stuff that's already in. And add new things, too, where they make sense.

I honestly believe that donating to crpg over the site is better spent money. The server we're playing on all day don't come free nor cheap... And chadz clearly stated that money from the new project won't be used for any crpg stuff.

And there are already enough armours around to fit every taste. And re-skins of armour we have is surely something that could be done inside the community...

If we had an army of people on irc spamming him with demands to revert the kick change, it would get done pretty quickly I'd imagine. I'd also probably get banned from irc, but it would be for a good cause. :D
