shame on devs

[Phazey]

Am i the only one here who thinks: nice, but please never add that to cRPG?

I mean, come on. Who has time to admire weirdly uniformly rippling vegetation in a battle? 

Nicely done ofcourse. But if i want eye candy, i'll go play BF3.

Some of us play with the best textures and what not you know.

I say bring on the beauty, don't let the rest of us suffer. If people's PC's can't handle the upgrade let them use one of the Optimization packs.


This is for example just one mod for MNB (there's an issue with it though - too many trees):

Just look at that difference.

That looks amazing.

There is a lot of different mods all around that does a ton for how the game look, and it still plays fine on a decent PC.

Better Skyboxes mod:

A ton of possibilities. I say embrace them where possible.

Guess what program makes that video possible? Guess who made it?

You have superpowers(wse) but your not using them for good(like these guys), your using them to make crimes(strategus)

I love Polished landscapes, looks amazing. It's very much Northern Europe early winter/spring (thus sadly not fitting everywhere). Too bad the collision meshes are fubar.
*whisper* ...Also, CMP hates it.

That video has been discussed before, at release date even. Most warband news are discussed at length when they hit.  It's certainly impressive, I'd love to see it in cRPG sometimes, when it's done and if it's possible.

I think "some of you" are forgetting that cRPG requires a lot of maintenance, it's not a single player game with a multiplayer addon, it's a whole thing on it's own, strictly multiplayer a requiring totally different focus. Hell, if most of you could simply stay the fuck out of trouble and not abooze the shit out of the game, imagine how much better the devs time could be spent on improving the game instead of just, you know, keeping the populous calm.

Too bad the collision meshes are fubar.

Indeed, but should be fixable some how, even as a last resort do it from the bottom, might be tedious, might be long, but it would definitely put a mark on C-RPG in terms of impressions.


There's no doubt that organizing and managing everything in total is quite the task in it self, then add all these new proposed projects on top, the list gets long. Hopefully someone (more than 1 perhaps) will step up to the 'challenge' posted by chadz in announcements and lend a helping hand. A good solid and active core of developers working on C-RPG/Strat would make a World of change, but it will require people who like the game and have the necessary abilities to do changes to step up now the chance is here.

Yeah I agree, the current kind of dictatorial leadership is really very inefficient. It's a hard thing, letting go of power, just ask Lil' Kim.

And the implementation of European Bureaucracy seems more scary then anything else.  For all their know-how, the devs seems pretty inept at working together. Herding cats comes to mind.

(PL works well enough in Vikingr, don't see why it shouldn't work in cRPG).

[Kajia]

a better and more realistic look may be cool with a more realistic gameplay (vikingr is on that path), but cRPG? well, no.
imho cRPG should stay on the (slightly) casual path and get more diverse (more armor, etc., more MMO-ish). if devs would plan to have it more realistic you'd have noticed ...

If I could have an mp mod with PL, flying banners and more realistic gameplay (eg slow long weapons), I'd certainly want more roleplay too. just to mention it.

good point ... lol

Sorry, no Polished Landscapes. cRPG will never give in to the real is brown paradigm.

[Jacko]

That's the great divide, in the community and with the devs: Should cRPG evolve towards a more 'realistic', or a more fantasy-ish approach?

I always thought cRPG lacked some sort of public design decree, telling people what it aims 'to be or not to be' (and how it's planning on getting there).

CMP, I'm so taking my camera with me today. Grass is green but hell if not everything else is smudgy grey and brown.

More like advanced anarchism.

I'm still waiting from last time!

shame on devs... for not removing ladders and 60 sec posting block

[Jacko]

Yes, I got drunk and forgot 

[Fips]

I came.

Oh , you guys are such rebels.


All we want (outside of balance/gameplay stuff discussed in other topics) is better graphics, i personally don't care if it's called "brown is real", "water is blue" or "eat da poopoo" as long as it looks better than the vanilla graphics.
