Native America Mod

[Unexisted]

I have good news and bad news.
Good News I repaired my Poser program. So leaderheads can commence once again.

Bad News All my Runtime (props, etc.) were deleted. Meaning I would have to purchase all of the material I purchased in the past. I don't plan on buying Michael because of his high price. So don't count on ant more leaderheads...

 

[Gogf]

That's aweful. Your leaderheads were awesome.

 

[Gogf]

Deleted.

Yeah Europeans liked to put their own names on things, like Siam for Thailand, or Korea for Koryo.

I'm not sure we need to have every tribename 100% correct. If a tribe has a given and a prefermed name, than the prefermed name should be mentioned in the Civilipedia entry on that tribe.

Nahuixtelotzin: I like Mesoamerican cultures to. Espeacially their music and artatectural style. But I must say that I think your avatar doesn't match your name, was this done on purpose?

Unexisted! That just plain, well, sucks!

Is there any other leaderhead making programs you could use instead of this "Michael" or whatever its called? Why would they charge you again after you've already paid for it in the past?

 

[Unexisted]

Not likely Sword_of_Geddon.
It would b e nice, and I was in the middle of completing another NA head as well..

 

[Gogf]

BTW guys, check the secret thread, and SOG, check your PMs at GCF.

 

[Unexisted]

I just finished a System Restore. It put all the folders backs. But the files theyselves are gone.

 

[Gogf]

Thats too bad. What exactly is this Michael, anyway?

 

[Unexisted]

Yes.
Gogf, I checked my PMs (at your forums). No PMs?..

Yes, that's probably the most common pattern. Europeans called tribes like other tribes who they had contact with earlier, called them. And it was rarely nice names...

@SoG: Name and avatar are simply unrelated. Nahuixtelotzin in Nahuatl means "Honorable Mr. 4-Eyes", a name I gave myself for wearing glasses and the cute guy on my avatar is my baby-son.

No, sorry, I only PMed Sword of Geddon there, because I would have said anything else in the hidden forum.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Ok I will do Gogf.

Is Thunderfall alive? Whats the holdup I wonder? Hmm, probably other mods and other considerations now that I think about it.

But I'm sure we shall see some new developments in the coming days.

Ok, on a related note. Has anyone played the 3.1 version of the mod?

And if so, did you think any of the new units(UU's mostly) were over or under powered?

For instance, one of the Mayan UU's, the Atl-Atl, has a shield cost of 10, but otherwise the same stats as a normal Guard. As a result, early Mayan armies will churn out Atl-Atls like wildfire, at least until they become obsolete when the Mayans get their Javelin Thrower.

 

[Unexisted]

Well, not all UUs should be more powerful. Maybe cheaper. Maybe nothing different at all. Just a different type of unit.

The update is almost complete - just a few pcxs to do, which I should get done tonight. All the little bits and pieces have been done, such as correct Civilopedia entries for all the buildings (ie what effects they have - I didn't have time for a historical description) and the units32.pcx file being correct.

The bad news is that we're back to 19 tribes due to upload limits. This could be increased with a patch to add more tribes - might look at this at the weekend.

The good - or even great - news is that all the tribes have their own 3D, fully animated, leaderheads. The ones I've done even blink at the right times. Do you want previews? Of course you do!! Some leaderheads have been re-assigned to other tribes, but here's a snapshot of the seven new leaderheads I've done:

Carib, Haida, Inuit

Nez Perce, Powhatan

Shawnee, Tupi

I've now got the nod from Thunderfall and will upload once I've finished the pcxs.

 

[Unexisted]

Great, perfect, wonderful. I hope everything is. I got a date tonite

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

How on Earth did you get Leaderhead making so quickly R8XFT? By the looks of it, you've been doing this kind of thing for awile!

Its to bad you've reached the upload limit. Well, theres always later. Look out DyP, here comes the Native America mod!

 

[Gogf]

What upload limit? What about TF giving you FTP access for the mod. You can't fit the entire mod in 3MB, can you?

The upload limit is 100MB with FTP access.

 

[Gogf]

It's over 100MB? Wow. I believe I may have a solution though (it involves uploadign it somewhere else, but you won't have to register to download it).
