Title: [MOD IZ DEAD] A DIY Community Armor Project
Post by: bilwit on December 25, 2013, 04:11:42 am
MOD IZ DEAD: A DIY Community Armor Project

Overview:
Okay nerds, in the spirit of festivus and to celebrate how the mod is, in fact, dead, I will be taking armor requests and doing my best to make it as baus and accurate as possible. Depending how lazy I get, I'm planning on doing at least two (probably one--motivation is hard to come by these days). Please include as many source/reference images as possible and follow the rules below (any entry that doesn't follow the rules will be ignored). If we can't get a devmy old friend to add it to the mod as a new armor (I don't care about stats/balance, devmy old friends will figure it out if it comes to that) then I'll replace whatever current armor in game of your choosing so that this can be seen instead. Also note that it doesn't have to be uber intricate plate or whatever (although I'm up for it), it just needs to be stylish and super cool.

Rules:

Entry Format
For your entry to be considered, you must post in the following format (just quote this post and delete all the other sections):

****************************************************
Proposed Armor Name:
example

Reference(s):
(click to show/hide)
****************************************************

Additional Information:
Please note that I really only do textures but I can do some nifty hackjobs/remeshes if need be so we'll be limited by whatever base model is closest and whatever parts can be salvaged/hackjobbed on top of it (any modeler nerds out there who want to collab are welcome). If you know of an existing model that conceivably fits the design in terms of the how the model itself is shaped, feel free to also mention it in your entry, especially if it's a model that isn't currently in cRPG. I also haven't done one in like 6 months so bare with me.

Some of my stuff is included in the Clash of Kings Warband mod (based on Game of Thrones) which can be found on taleworlds/moddb/google/whatever. For example pics see here: #1 (http://i.imgur.com/N3OhvUk.jpg) #2 (http://i.imgur.com/Ljzwe9H.jpg) #3 (http://media.moddb.com/cache/images/mods/1/22/21191/thumb_620x2000/5OYYqot.jpg) #4 (http://media.moddb.com/cache/images/mods/1/22/21191/thumb_620x2000/rH3j5ZE.jpg).

Dont waste your time dude, people are lazy, they always want new things added to the mod without them doing nothing.

A month or some, I tried to convince people to pitch in a small amount of money to buy some good modeled armours/helmets/shields from good modeleres, most agreed but when the suggestion time came around, they all vanished into thin air  :lol:

Proposed Armor Name:
Armored Hose with Kneecops

Reference(s):
A version of the "Red Hose with Kneecops with more metal protection...
Like with more of the same metal as the kneecops part, protecting shins and or feet...?
(click to show/hide)

I would love to see a more armored, heavier version of red hose with kneecops because while they visually match perfectly to red brigandine over mail, there is a big difference in armor values. w/ mail gauntlets and everything unloomed it comes to 50 body armor vs 37 leg armor. No other footwear comes close to how well the red hose matches with red brigandine over mail, but I hate getting poked in the feet for high damage when my effective armor weight is around 20 :(

If you make a heavy armor version of the red hose with kneecops and it gets added into the game I'll give you a loompoint.  :wink:

I think that could be made just by cutting up the already existing models and mashing them together. Just take off the bevor of the gothic plate with bevor and put it under the chapel de fer. It's good in theory....  :lol:

Reserving this post to find something.

Update: I spent a long time looking for something unique and interesting to add. In the end, I came back to a previously suggested armor in those "Add these" megathreads. These have been time and time again overlooked or rejected. Whatever you could do to bring these armors to cRPG quality/acceptability would be very much appreciated by not only me, but I believe the rest of the community.

Proposed Armor Name: Lithuanian Conical Helmet

to go with

Lithuanian Lamellar
(click to show/hide)

Personally, I think the latter looks perfectly fine, but for some reason, these have never found their ways into the mod. Thanks for the offer. Hopefully this thread picks up some more steam.

Can't agree more with you. I am making models of armors and weapons for mods. Not for this one since everyone will shit about stats and historical shit anyways. They usually think how easy it is. If you want armors. Then try to make yours guys, to see the Hard work for each piece. Then we'll see :)

Proposed Armor Name:

Mailed leather scale armor.

Idea:
There's something that should be easy to make.
Make a medium armor version of the leather scale armor, by turning the shirt right under the leather into mail. The model is the same, it should be a simple texture arrangement.
I would appreciate it a lot.


And I had my birthday recently.

Yeah the quality on that is pretty bad but stylistically, isn't the design more-or-less visitors can't see pics , please register or login
? I guess I could do a remake styled after the one your suggesting (looks to be using the Cuir Bouilli Over Mail model?)..

As a practical matter, that wouldn't work too well if it were all one head piece, since the scarf part that drapes over the shoulders would be assigned to the shoulder bones or whatever and would have severe clipping issues depending on what body armor you would be wearing.. though I suppose I could make a "matching" armor piece with the scarf part already on it using the Monk's Robe or Robe model as a base and reskin the Sarranid Warrior Cap to look like that..

This would be cool and stylistically simple enough, except it would be really tricky to do it any justice without either a unique model or some heavy model/UV map editing to get the triangle parts (Warband also doesn't play well with alpha maps)..

Take a look at the helmets in the spoiler. Those are more what I was suggesting, hoping the devs would in turn add those lamellar armors.
