English Infantry Units

[Hazop / Sarven]

Huh, different rifles compared with Germans/Soviets, nice!
I'd recommend a tad bit more TC, somewhat similar to what TC the germans/Russians have, otherwise those are some very well made models!

 

[Anglo Warior]

Blimey, these are good!

 

[SonsOfSami]

Nice job, but the rifle clips a bit in the belgian rifleman's coat during attack anim
(why the ww1 guy isnt wearing a brodie though?)

The WW1 British rifleman model wore a peaked cap instead of the Brodie to reflect British uniforms during the earlier stages of the war (when steel helmets were not yet mass produced).

Bullocks!! It was ages I was waiting... And they are finally out!! And I simply love them. 10/5!

Please, please, please - do the Americans asap as well, so we can have all important fighting sides for the European part of WW2

HerrDave is already going to make them.

Belgian Rifleman makes noise when using his repair animation

 

[HerrDave]

What kind of noise?

 

[Hazop / Sarven]

What kind of noise?

The whacking noise that was previously a problem with earlier infantry, when repairing, making a loud whacking noise while other infantry models dont

 

[HerrDave]

Ah, a relic from previous model stages.

One second..

 

[Hazop / Sarven]

Would'nt it makes sense for him to use his grenades?
Good modelz

 

[SonsOfSami]

I second that.
For some reason, all assault trooper models don't have a Spell throw animation, but riflemen do.
This has been bothering me in my map, where i need the Stormtroopers to have abilities, not the Riflemen : (
Although now that @HerrDave knows how to copy animations, i hope it will be easy to do that.

Also are the British ww2 rifle infantry supposed to have green helms? Or is it a texture error?

 

[HerrDave]

That is intended, the gray helmets were supposed to be restricted to WWI - I'm currently working out ways to make alternative WWI british infantry without making it a simple helmet-swap

 

[Warew0lf###(omega)]

OMG! Feels like battlefield V in here !!!... I always love your work man! Looking forward to see more of your awesome models! Good luck!

 

[SonsOfSami]

@HerrDave There is triangle in the both hands of the Belgian soldier that have messed up UV mapping

Spoiler: Belgian Infantry

Also, the TC "crest" of the Adrian helmet's UV map should be widened a bit so it doesn't look too bright and off
By the way, I think the stick grenades with the Commando should be swapped for hand grenades.

 

[HerrDave]

This is just a quick-fix, an animation revamp is coming for those with complaints about the shouldered rifle..

 

[jj84]

Cool.

 

[General Frank]

Works in-game, performs appropriately and is a good addition to the model section.

 

[CaptainDan]

Not a negative review! This is how some of the units turned out. Models work fine on another map, I have no idea what i might have done to get this error. I copied all the units from another map and then imported all the model files used in that same map. Tried re-downloading the files but still the same error...

Woah, that's different o.o
The only thing I see missing from the list is is the texture, InfantryEnglish.blp
Is that not being downloaded from the pack?

 

[CaptainDan]

always thought that's just for the icon - i'm a little new to all this importing and model stuff, thank you so much works fine now *facepalm*

 

[Wayshan]

@CaptainDan

Import paths for icons include fixed predetermined strings of text including BNT, DISBNT, PAS etc. You can find more here! In case of any trouble feel free to PM me Importing is a tricky business.

 

[CaptainDan]

@Wayshan Thanks! Will do if I have any trouble

 

[HerrDave]

@CaptainDan Glad that fixed it, have fun with your project!

 

[WanSaweR]

All of your WWI and WWII models look great. English, American, German, Russian. But I don't see French? I though, you created them too.

 

[HerrDave]

I took the French Pack down a few years ago during the great revamp, then I kept getting side-tracked or I needed help researching their weapons
Now the only block for 'em is Blizzard's new EULA

 

[Wayshan]

@HerrDave God, this is so sad. I would say that I hope Blizzard reconsiders, but that would be way too naive. Still.. this just sucks. Does that mean you won't release any resources furthermore, Dave?

 

[WanSaweR]

I though, EULA would affect only custom maps, not custom models and skins? Or did I miss something?

 

[HerrDave]

I've got to do a lot of thinking on it.

The new EULA lays claim to maps, down to the last byte of data - so that'd include every model, texture, and voice-acted line

I'd be thrilled to produce models, voice acting, textures, and effects for people for a hundred years, but not for a greedy company to steal before the mapper's dream ever comes together

I'd rather help to create a hundred maps owned by a hundred mappers, than a million maps owned by a single company

 

[Wayshan]

I totally get you. Personally, I hope you will find your way around. Your content is awesome

Does the new EULA affect you if you stayed on an older version of the game, f.e. 1.28? I doubt they can change that retrospectively, eh?

 

[Chiron]

Can you make Ottoman units as well?

 

[HerrDave]

Yep, Ottomans are going to be part of the WotK Series of models

Still deciding what their special unit should be...
America (Shotgunner / Calliope)
Germany (Knight's Cross / Tiger II)
England (Commando / Royal Artillery)
France (Resistance Fighter / Dome Bunker)
Russia (Tzar Tank / Commissar)
Japan/China ( / Kamikaze Fighter)
Ottoman Empire ( / )

If anyone has any suggestions for what the unique units should be for the WWI China/Japan forces, and the WWI/WWII uniques for the Ottomans, that would be great

 

[Anglo Warior]

Well for ww1 Ottoman troops, you could go with camel cavalry, which they did have, or Arab militias, which could serve a dual purpose as troops for the Arab Revolt.

Here's a link to illustration of uniforms.

Hi, I like your work, but I wanted to ask you a question when I install it, I only see the shadow and not the unit. What should I do to solve it?

 

[HerrDave]

Howdy-ho, Kale

This usually happens when a skin wasn't imported right
When you import the .BLP, make sure to give it a custom path changing it like so:
'war3mapImported\InfantryEnglish.blp' -> 'InfantryEnglish.blp'

Once that's done, save and exit the editor, re-open the map and it should render properly

Hope this helps, good luck with your project, dude

 

[Jaccouille]

Love it, allows me to imagine new games to make.
