Between The States

[2feathers]

Between The States (lame name can't really think of anything) is going to be an American civil total conversion mod for RO:2. Me and a friend are working on it right now( just creating assets and messing around with the udk right now) but I just wanted to throw this out here to see If anyone else would be interested in helping. especially if you know how to program visual basic or want ever RO:2 is going to use.


Here's a few pictures of some stuff I've been working on. (my friend is a lazy mother#$%@ and hasn't done any work yet)

update: redid the Springfield and added a bayonet. The Remington 1858 is almost done as well.

Update: here's what the union soldier looks like so far in the udk, I'm not to happy about the low texture resolution on the face, since I'm using a 2048x2048 for the whole model but I Really don't feel like unwraping it again.

my email is [email protected] contact me if you want to help

Ramm suggests "Brother Vs Brother"

Great, good to see that someone has decided to pick up the American Civil War for a MOD. Hopefully you'll get some extra helpers.

I quite like the name you've gone with although my vote would be to call it "The Blue And The Gray"

Looking forward to seeing more

Ramm suggests "Brother Vs Brother"

"The Blue And The Gray"

Ultimate name: Between Brothers of Blue and Gray


What kind of battles will there be, will it be more modern warfarish or standing in a line shooting at eachother?

 

[<animal>INSTINCT]

Fun fact: More Irishmen died in the American Civil War than the Irish Civil War

I'd call it "Brother Vs The Irish Immigrant Fighting for the other Brother"

Good concept though, best of luck in your endeavors

[Harb]

Ultimate name: Between Brothers of Blue and Gray

Between Brothers of Blue and Gray from North and South

Never ending name

 

[UncleDrax]

Between Brothers of Blue and Gray from North and South: 61 - 65

Fixed for you :]

Best of luck on your mod.
And ro2 is done in Unrealscript, which is a bit like c++ or Java

 

[husbert]

will there be flagcarriers or drummers?

some suggestions:

flags or drummers push morale
->better morale better aiming and faster reload
-->this forces players to play as a group
---> line battles


btw my name suggestion:

Heroes of Gettysburg: Between Brothers of Blue and Gray from North and South: April 12, 1861

theres already quite a few mods in that name. rts mod has that name.

I really hope this mod turns out . Its a great idea, and perfect for HoS! I can just imagine it; a time period where line firing was begginning to die down as the personal initiative and decent firing rates were beggining to emerge. Artillery was getting farther from the frontlines, and the rules were starting to shift from "stand in a line, get shot" and shifted into a far more playable scenario that I trust you guys can capture swimmingly in your mod!

I absolutely love how already these awesome mods are begginning to form, and they are different enough to really not divide the community.
From the ruins of Stalingrad to the trenches of World War I, from the Isles of the Pacific to the feilds of the American Civil War, from the jungles of Vietnam to the plains of Poland...

God, this is just looking awesome

Between Brothers

War between brothers

also stay away from blue and gray to cliche.

 

[kid Charlemagne]

to bad the name Homefront is taken... hmm, Battlefield 1862?
anyways, great idea hope there will be cavalery with swords and sixshooters, snipers with primitive scopes, wagons for transport of troops and weapons(a wagon with a cannon is like a primitive :IS2

the horse drawn wagon was the best tank of the civil war.

 

[Frankenstein]

Nice ! great to see that someone is into that idea.

Wish you all the best with the mod and kick your friends lazy ***.

I loved the old Amiga game "North&South", and a mod in the RO2 environment would be awesome !
