Italian Modification

[Psycho_Sam]

Make an italian expansion pack then

 

[WhoZeDuke]

Good Luck!

 

[Meadow]

We are only doing battles in Italy?!?

Really? I would hope you would do some in North Africa and Sicily, too, as the Italian Army capitulated before it had the chance to fight on Italian soil.

 

[Psycho_Sam]

Burning sand is covering North Africa so there is no point in covering the same ground. We will do sicily though but Italy did not really feature there at all as they surrendered within 2 days of its invasion if I recall.

 

[otester]

North Africe and Sicily would be best left until ROO on UE3 comes out then you can make sand storms and other stuff lol.

As a Canadian, I am thrilled of course. But now I must ask...what about the Australians, the New Zealanders, the Indians and the South Africans? Didn't they also fight the Italians and Germans in North Africa and in the Mediterranean? At the very least I should think they deserve an honourable mention.

 

[Psycho_Sam]

Ahh yes indeed many nations fought in the Second World War thats why its a World War!

Sadly we cannot include them all into 1 modification. At least not at this current time as they were not present in large enough numbers to be included. However after the main mod is finished we may be able to make expansions with extra forces.



If you think there was anything left out of RO:Ost then come over to the forum and suggest it and we will see what we can do.

 

[daschewy]

How many maps are you all initially planning on releasing

 

[Psycho_Sam]

Hopefully about 5

LOL!

Btw I don't think you need any more historical advisers, focus more on finding modellers etc.

And please don't forget the Italian Expeditionary Corps in Russia

Damn, beat me to it! For example, the Italians played a large part as an auxiliary force for the 6th army in the drive to, and defense of, Stalingrad. So far they have been under-represented in every game. Hopefully you folks can change that!

 

[Ronin]

Our modellers are well under way with the new vehicles and weapons .......

Example AB41 :

If anyone is interested in joining us as a modeller or helping out on any posisition, drop by the site and apply on the forums ......

Its a small picture but Im sure that is well over the amount of polygons it should have. Details like the inside of the wheels and all the bolts should be textured on, not modelled. Also the round shapes look way too round to be low poly. If you look at the wheels already in RO you'll see that theyre not that round either because it just eats away on the polygons. I think the max polygon amount for a vehicle is around 5000 but preferably a few thousand below that.

 

[Psycho_Sam]

Thats not a finished model so dont go basing any assumptions on that yet

I think that the poly count for vehicles is about 5000-6000

Please include the Canadian Army in the mod or in a later version of the mod. They were there, a whole army. There was also the Devil's Brigade which was half Canadian and half American which was the greatest fighting unit of the whole war.

If you read above it said they were including the canadian army lol and Devils Brigade was not the greatest fighting unit of the whole war, what do they teach you in school?
