Could we please have an F variant with the metal painted green?

I love that @RedKetchup :)  Great new thread :)

btw ... how are my little houses, nearly ready for 107?  *cheeky
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: RedKetchup on March 02, 2017, 01:20:01 AM
well.... i had to redo all the leaves cause when we buy something from internet (a set of bushes) and we get like 44k polygons and we pro optimize it to 5-6k each ... and we multiply it by 12... cause we put 12 of them....
and at the end you barely see something...

then ... we have no choice to use the textures and try to do better in 500-1000 poly instead ^^

my first attempt of my own bushes is not bad ... i just need to work the AO to make it darker or redo my pngs to get rid of the little white lines that makes the whole bush... too light

but not bad not bad...

and sorry i know that alot of technic vocabulary ^^

Looking good. It should probably have a dirt floor or a stone floor. Definitely not a grass floor. The grass would be all trampled and dead.

Instead of having bushes everywhere you could have one or two clear benches, or you could have some small pots with seedlings. And what about your plants from NMT houses and herbalist? They would look very good inside the greenhouse. The plants could also be ghost decorations that the player can add. Just a suggestion.  :)
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: RedKetchup on March 02, 2017, 02:26:27 AM
yes i can do that i guess... let a spot or 2 without bushed and have couple of fresh pots in there :)

the floor will be turn to dirt when i ll do my footprint.

i guess too i can dd some flowers here and there :)


here screenshot with the "white thin lines" fixed

It looks really good.

What will it produce? Seedlings? Tropical fruits? Herbs? All of those things?

Also consider having it use water as an input. You've made a water tower and CC has water towers but water doesn't really get used for anything. Again, just a suggestion.
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: RedKetchup on March 02, 2017, 02:56:29 AM
added the dirt footprint... took out 1-2 bushes . added some empty pots .... changed size of some bushes...
i need to find a way to make glasses now :P so it doesnt snow inside ^^

i dont want to put the crappy idea of seedlings... it is useless.

i will make it drop a very small amount of any kind of vegetable at random... all year long :)

That looks very nice, but I would like the original greenhouse with seedlings for trade just made smaller, perhaps half the size.  But that's just me who has used the original greenhouse in almost every map.

Have you considered completely transparent?
At 0-2% transparency it worked for me.
At higher it became all white. (I had a white texture)
I will try too because I want some windows you can see through.
I figured 0% transparent with a hint of texture in the corners.
Probably look like a well used window.
And I get rid of all those straight lines.
It's those straight lines that make windows look 'too good'.

i ve put glasses everywhere, 100% transparent but a small thin line all around of 5 pixels..

what i dont understand..... there shouldnt be a single hole anywhere ....
i am still getting snow inside :S

@kid1293 , when you tried it your 0-2% ... did you got snow inside ?

Random veg isn't a bad idea. I read that in megamod the seedlings are used to make decorative plants (you "plant" them when you build a tree) but I'm not sure because I don't use MM. So seedlings can have a use and don't have to just be a trade item.

that was the idea when i did it. this is why in MM is still doing that. but with time we saw people were only using the seedlings to sell, a very cheated way to make money to buy things.
also at some point i think, when CC integrated all the decoration items mod.... not 100% sure though, but i think they made it so you need the fruit/nut to plant the tree (an apple for an apple tree... a pear for a pear tree.... a walnut for a walnut tree....) * to be verify.

can you notice the windows ?
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: kid1293 on March 02, 2017, 05:32:06 AM

I guess it's because the snow doesn't have collision.
It is not hindered by a wall, roof  or window.
I think the rain and snow are everywhere on the map.
I got snow under a roof with an open door when I looked, yes.
A test - go inside a closed house with zoomhack when it is snowing.
You'll see if there is snow in the air.


In my 'texture.rsc' I put the no-snow material for all things inside.
Material _material = "Material\Opaque\OpaqueMaterial.rsc";
instead of
Material _material = "Material\OpaqueSnow\OpaqueSnowMaterial.rsc";
and it worked.
Alpha-textures have no snow.
Billboarded I don't remember.
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: kid1293 on March 02, 2017, 05:38:55 AM

Yes! Exactly what I meant with the window.
It does not have to be a thin shadow.
It can be irregular spots of dirt to get the feel of a window.
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: QueryEverything on March 02, 2017, 06:03:44 AM
What about something like ....

A small version, makes small seedlings. 
A large version, makes seeds

like so:
The Animal Pens needs Domesticated Animals from the Stables.  200 grain = 1 Domesticated Animal.

200 seedlings = 1 seed (new)
200 blueberries = 1 blueberry seed
200 herbs = 1 herb seed

You get the idea.

It makes the game more useful, and the Bannies would eventually need actual agronomists & botanists.

:D

Post by: Tom Sawyer on March 02, 2017, 06:20:08 AM
Yes, the snow does not come from the banished sky. It's just rendered on not vertical faces. To use a no-snow-material for a separate texture part is a great idea @kid1293. I did not know about this. I always remove snow from the inside of buildings by the alpha-channel in Photoshop. It's still the best solution for me because I don't like multi-textures. But for other modders it can be a nice alternative.
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: kid1293 on March 02, 2017, 06:43:13 AM
I agree fully @Tom Sawyer
But for this purpose I have two textures. snow/no snow
It is easy to adjust contrast a bit for the inside when having it separate.
I used it on the market kitchen too. Who wants snow on a warm stove?  :)

but you dont need an alpha channel on a texture for calling alpha material, and you are not obligated to make 2 diff .pgn (1 for snow, 1 for alpha).

like my tables inside, it is a non-alpha png of dozen of wood planks... i only replaced the material by the one used by plants lettuce and calling the ModelAlphaTexture in the texture.rsc. even if it doesnt have an alpha channel in the png... it doesnt put snow.

Yes, because this "OpaqueMaterial" from lettuce does not show snow in general. To define a ModelAlphaTexture is probably useless in this case. You need it if you want a building with snow but only a part of it without. Then you have to use the "OpaqueSnowMaterial" and can remove the snow from parts of the texture image using the alpha channel.  :)

I see. How annoying. Another limitation from the game engine.  :(  Although I can see why Luke did it like that (so you can have snow on trees) but it's a pity we can't have solid transparent objects (glass).

Post by: brads3 on March 02, 2017, 02:23:18 PM
can we use a greenhouse to produce native seeds? take in bonemeal,etc and set the output to 1 random seed out of a list of mayb 10. but tweak the numbers so you get 1 new seed every 2 yrs? not sure what else to use besides bonemeal for input.
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: RedKetchup on March 03, 2017, 01:26:11 PM
no. you cannot take seeds and acquire them like if it is a simple product.

first, in a building, you work a certain units of work. And then the product appear on the ground where you placed the dummy points (create_00x).
seeds, not only are not "rawMaterialItems" and are "NaturalResources" , but also they dont have "3D meshes" that would need when it is on the ground and rdy to be pickup.

so seeds are not a 3D object and need to be directly transfert to a certain list.


there is only 2 ways to acquiert seeds : at begining of the game where you specify the number of them : at easy, normal, hard ... (the code of which ones you get is hidden)
and the other way is merchants: again , all the "buying" process is all hidden too. (the part you select a seed, you pay for it, trade, and most important, the "item bought" is added to your "list of seeds you have" <= all that is hidden and not in the files we can read the syntax.
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: brads3 on March 03, 2017, 01:33:46 PM
what about thinkinig outside the box and make the greenhouse work as a trader like you did with the train? you "buy" using bonemeal,etc and you "buy" a seed??

the traindrivers and train is a building exactly like a greenhouse or an apiary. it is not a "merchant". Merchants are tighly linked to trading post code and the boat wake code and cannot be seperated.
so a train function like : to consume a product "coins" and you produce another product " apple"

need to do the other set of brick to go with old church stone set
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: RedKetchup on March 03, 2017, 03:43:30 PM
now we have all 4 :) 2 with red "fire" brick set, 2 with old "church" brick set :)

just need to decide NOW, what i ll do with it :)

1. offer a menu to make seedlings and take seedlings to create every vegetable ?
2. offer no menu and let everything random (seedlings that has no use ? , and every vegetable) ?
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: elemental on March 03, 2017, 04:39:05 PM
They look great. I like the green with fire brick and the grey with church brick. The open roof is good too. I wish we had animated buildings, then the roof could close in winter. (also, imagine if houses shut all their shutters in winter - would look so much better than the way it is now)


Seedlings are only useful with megamod or for trading. Does anyone really want another building for making seedlings? I don't, but that's just my opinion. Also, will this geenhouse be going into megamod? If it does go into MM then it might end up making seedlings regardless of what your version does.

Just a suggestion, but I would like to see it make a few different fruits and veg, and also herbs. Not a huge range, just a few. Random or menu, either way is good. The other option is make two versions - random and menu. But that's up to you.  :)

Fruit trees can be grown in a large greenhouse but this one isn't huge and doesn't have any trees modeled into it, so I would suggest fruit that doesn't come from trees. Strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, maybe watermelons, plus a few different veg and herbs.

It could also make mushrooms. It's easy to believe that there are some mushroom boxes hiding in the dark under those benches.  :)







Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: RedKetchup on March 03, 2017, 05:07:07 PM
it will certainly be included in megamod for sure. i dont see why @kralyerg wouldnt want to ^^

agree the windows open at top is great, add alot to the look.

about making 2 versions : a menu and a random : i agree, no problem :) i already started to make my icons for both. icon is a little plant with an house roof over it. the random has dices too in the icon to tell : random.

about vegetables: bah it will have all the vanilla (no grain, no fruit) , about the CC new vegetables.... i would need to : or ask CC crew or remake them... for sure i wouldnt want to add everything they did.
and if i redo some... i would have to do everything from 3D to icons to crop/seeds.

i can do a couple and take that occasion to "fix graphics with a better version - no offenses (everybody, me included, learned alot since 2 years and we are better to compare how we were back in time ^^ " i would redo strawberry and raspberry. maybe watermelon but i would need to see how they look like in CC and see if they need an update. They look great!

i can probably add some boxes under the table and put some mushrooms :)

Post by: RedKetchup on March 03, 2017, 05:30:36 PM

overall value changed : -33%

Post by: QueryEverything on March 03, 2017, 07:42:37 PM
They are looking fabulous @RedKetchup :)  I like the idea of the either/or option to have 2 available.  For the mini apiaries I have from Discrepancy I have a random row and a dedicated row of them so the numbers always jumble up :) 

And thank you very much for detailing why we can't generate our own seeds, it makes much more sense now!!!  :)

Post by: RedKetchup on March 04, 2017, 05:19:05 PM
back to what i was doing :)

so....

i think, you guys & girls, will hate me  :-[

if i asked around about the vanilla cattle and milk..... we can only get 1 resource out of a livestock. since we got many cows that gave milk , i wished to make cattle and give something else : fertilizer  :-X but since the vanilla cattle is still used to give milk by other mods.....


i was wondering if i do instead .....

new crop just to get hays...
and we use hays to feed a stable of horses...
and the stable will need hays and make fertilizer as return...
and the greenhouse will use fertilizer along with water to get seedlings...
and the greenhouse will use seedlings and more water and give food ??

i know thats alot of operations.... a big chain but if i tweak the numbers so with 1 crop of hays we get like 4 or 5 crops as amount of food ....
it can also maybe change a bit the look of the landscape to see hays all around ? <= statement under reserve on how often we can see cylinders of hays roaming around ^^
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: calli74 on March 04, 2017, 05:30:06 PM
That sounds like a cool idea. Then you can build a combination of a stable with a horse paddock outside so the stable looks like it would be used for the horses. I do this already with the creamery and milking parlour from CC. I build those, then outside it a couple of pastures with cows in for extra milk for the creamery section, will post a pic tomorrow so you can see what I mean. With storage barns and a few houses for the workers, it starts to look like a real dairy farm settlement.
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: RedKetchup on March 04, 2017, 05:55:16 PM
the stable is already in construction ... not finished yet .... still have to adds some windows here and there on sides and in the back....
but will be mostly like that :)
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: brads3 on March 04, 2017, 06:38:56 PM
it is a neat concept. however,i have what 5 banis tied up and produce how much food?? 1 for the crop, 1 stable,1 water,and 2 for 2 greenhouses.at scale you are looking at about 1000 food from the gh=200 food per worker. if you got the fertilizer from domesticated animals via the CC verion it would make more sence. cause you are then adding a chain to other animals that already are being used and producing items. i doubt many players are using horses for food.
the game doesn't allow us to use horses for work on farms. that would be more historically accurate.are you going to use the stable to breed horses for trade??
    what about "borrowing" the small pens from CC and incorporate rthem into this idea? then players have an option of milk,eggs,or wool.personally ,those pens and small. they would be better at double their size. using the domesticated animals, you could use your horse barn design and have it produce wool and milk both. cows on 1 end and sheep at the other end. that way for each worker you do get more production.

Post by: QueryEverything on March 04, 2017, 07:29:24 PM
I love @calli74 idea :)

@RedKetchup if you made one without a road tile, that would mean it could adjoin one of the fenceless pastures smoothly, and could have it surrounded by other pastures & the MM pens.  It would look fabulous, and like a real working farm.

I've been saying for months we need a manure or fertilizer as an option for growing some more fruit & veg, and with your new hothouse, it would (could) be an option!!
Now, see, if there were a mini seed starter lean-to, a 1 person agri-specialist who produces new seeds, that would be awesome.  :D :D :D

Honestly, do what you feel is best with this, but the idea is sound!! :D
(no roadtiles though, pleeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase :D )

Here's a quick pic of my "dairy farm". Ignore the pink circle, it's just a happiness radius from a building that's being constructed somewhere nearby.

I like the idea of hay for feeding animals, but as @brads3 said there are lots of parts there for food.

I wonder if it would be better using the hay for cows that produce milk, and then also having the cows produce manure/fertilizer as a waste product? Kind of like the bone meal in CC.

In fact, you could make the manure a by product of a load of things like goat pens, chicken coops etc., to give an extra value to the food production.

yup everything is the "story" that is behind each settlement we do:)


@Necora  : we cant ask a pasture to get a consume , and we cannot ask to get a 2nd produce item. it is milk, or something else. not both.

am i losing it or just tired? don't chickens give us eggs,chicken,and feathers? that is 3 items. and cows can give leather,beef,and milk?if so then if the game limits it to 3 items cut beef to beef and manure and leather and the milk cows lose the beef side.
  true pastures won't consume an item. a barn or pen would be needed as a wroking building to consume and produce.

2 things @brads3 :

1 - when you have livestock alive in the pasture they can only give one thing: eggs from chickens, wool from sheep, milk from cows. only 1 thing can be given per animal type.
you cannot ask to drop milk + fertilizer from cattles ; wool + fertilizer from sheep; eggs + fertilizer from chickens... only 1 , the one at the top of the list only (if you try to put more than 1 thing in the list).

2- when they are slaughtered, they can give 2-3 items (maybe more i dont know) leather+beef+other thing for the cattles/cow; mutton+other things when a sheep is slaughtered; chicken meat +other things like feathers when a chicken has been slaughtered.

2a - i dont think it the good place to get fertilizers when you slaughter an animal. i think you should get it when they are alive, for at least, that kind of fertilizer. before lately, i never heard about bonemeal... i saw the name sometimes from CC.... but never know what it was supposed to be. and compost only exist since some years depending which municipality you live ^^ (here 2-3 years lol)
so, i know i can have a narrow mind... but for many decade, bah since i am born, we know here the best fertilizers the most common and the best productive one we can find... are the "horse dung"
i know , i live in canada ^^

i would have live through it if i could have cattle drop fertilizer while they were alive ^^
crazy canadians  ;D

Pretty sure you only get eggs while the chickens are alive and feathers plus meat when they die. For sheep it's wool when alive and meat/bonemeal when they die. EDIT: Red answered this when I was typing.

i was wondering if i do instead .....

new crop just to get hays...
and we use hays to feed a stable of horses...
and the stable will need hays and make fertilizer as return...
and the greenhouse will use fertilizer along with water to get seedlings...
and the greenhouse will use seedlings and more water and give food ??


Firstly I love that stable. And I see horses.  ;)

Secondly: fertiliser... a great idea but a better name would be manure. Fertiliser makes it sound like an artificial chemical used in modern agriculture. Dried manure was also used as a fuel for fires. That sounds a bit unpleasant (smelly), but there was plenty of it about.

Your production chain is an interesting idea but it is very long and complicated. All just to grow some food. You could cut it down a bit and keep the best bits.

Stable produces manure (no inputs, just work).
Greenhouse takes manure and water and makes food. No seedlings needed. Seedlings don't make sense with mushrooms anyway, if you are going to add mushrooms.


But hay field and hay crop plus a stable plus a water tower plus a greenhouse, that's a lot of space and workers. Plus you need to have the hay crop seeds to grow the hay in the first place. It certainly adds realism but it would be much easier to just grow food in that hay field to begin with. The greenhouse isn't huge so it shouldn't be producing massive amounts of food. It is a very attractive building and I would definitely build it even if it did nothing. Having it as a small source of fruit and veg all year round is a bonus. Just my thoughts.


Did I mention that I love that stable?  :)

Cool, I really love the greenhouse and the stable... I'd also love some haystacks that are tall, I mean really tall (attached)  ;)

Personally I do not fear long or complicated chains - they provide a nice sense of mid-game "achievements" (stuff you can not build right off the start)... but that's just me again...  :)

Post by: Nilla on March 05, 2017, 03:20:08 AM
I would like the idea of hey stacks, too. Nice addition.

I have another idea for using manure; a bit shorter than your long chain: Would it be possible to build a field/orchard, slightly more efficient, than a vanilla field, using manure as "building" material?

But your suggestion would be good, too. I like the thought of making the very nice looking new greenhouse more useful, than just producing seedlings for export (or a few decoration items)

Long chains for mid game are fine. I'm just a bit worried that with so much going into this chain - all just to make food - that the greenhouse is going to be making huge amounts of food just so that it;s worth the effort. It's not a huge structure. Realistically, how much is too much production for something this size?

The Victorians did build very large greenhouses but this isn't one of them. They weren't used to feed the local peasants, they were built by nobles just so they could show off by growing oranges and palm trees. They cost a fortune to run because they used lots of firewood or coal to heat them.

In regards to the green house making seeds, I was just thinking, is it possible to have the green house produce something to the value of one of the lowest value seeds from the trader (2500) but make it take a long time to produce one so it's not overpowered, that way we could trade that item to the trader for a seed so it would almost be like the green house makes the seeds. It could maybe be a "registration" document as if, we made a new breed and we are registering it in the mail as something we bred in our greenhouse, and then we could use the seed in our town from then on. Or maybe it could make a random item from 3, each one having a different value so we could trade one item for an expensive seed (gold registration), (silver regristration) a cheaper seed (bronze registration) lowest value.

i guess i can delete the seedling thing and go directly to fertilizer+water = food.

yeah it needs hay stacks.

crops and orchard doesnt need a building material to build them. not sure if we can add to it, and 2: not sure if we can make it more efficient, the numbers arent controlled by the crop/orchard but by the vegetable/fruits templates.

the working unit inside a building is a stable number that cant be changed dependantly what you are crafting. it is the same amount of units for everything.
you cant ask 5 working unit for a cabbage and 5000 working unit for a certificate.

I don't think it's too small. It's a good size for small crops. Things like herbs, mushrooms, and small crops of fruit and veg. You could easily grow a lot of mushrooms in that small greenhouse. But carrots or beans or blueberries... probably not so many. Please keep the small version, even if it doesn't make very much food.  :)

If you also want to make a bigger greenhouse please consider leaving some blank spaces in the middle so we can add some decorative fruit trees. Google "Victorian glasshouse" and you will see some VERY large structures that could easily hold a small orchard.

But they weren't built to grow commercial crops as far as I know (the heating costs where huge - the bigger ones had boiler rooms underneath the ground and used lots of firewood or coal). They were usually built by rich nobles so they could show off. Or botanical gardens would have one to grow exotic tropical plants purely for display purposes. The attached pic is one of my favourites. From Edinburgh Botanic gardens.

for the moment i try to finish the stable...

i dont see what or which more details i can add to it :)
i am considaring it like finished... need to do the code and make it in game.

by the way ... i am wondering if i should make all those things as a seperate MOD (was at begining included in Garden Walls...)
but i dunno, maybe will make a seperate called:

Garden Walls: Utility.

with Greenhouses, Stables, Hays & Fertilizer

No, please don't tell me that you are giving up on the small greenhouse?  *sighs 
I don't mind the idea of the big one, will be lovely in a large city, but, my little farmlet bannies ...  please don't forget them?
Maybe 2, 1 for the little farmlets and a large one for a large city.
I would put a large one in a large city gardens area :)  Like the one that @elemental showed us, we have something similar here that I would love to build into a garden environment :)

I love the stables, looking great.

As to the toolbar, maybe:  Farm Utilities as it's no longer really about the garden or city walls, they are more utilities and farming functions. :)

Post by: RedKetchup on March 05, 2017, 09:10:20 PM
dont worry, the little one will still there but overall , over the year production, it will be less... i mean the bigger one will produce more. ^^ i need to check the size and number of workers and compare with crops/works. but these tweaking numbers will be at the end.

yeah the stable is in game now :) looks so gorgeous :)


i guess stable will be in resources.... and the greenhouses in food production.

Just a few tips. You are calling the plant/crop "haystack" but a better name for the crop would be alfalfa or lucerne. Once the plant is harvested and dried it is called hay.

Haystacks are usually big loose stacks of hay. Your small rectangular bundles are usually called hay bales, so a better name for the rectangular bundles would be "hay bales" or just "hay", or "fodder". I hope this helps.  :)

Can you please also make some deco hay bales and haystacks for pastures? And maybe a hay barn too? Ghost decorations so they can go in pastures.  :)

ok so i need to rename the crop : Alfalfa ?
so i need to rename the resource itself : Hay ?

and what if i put the "form or the shape" of these stacks/bales totally random ? (i know i need to work more on the hay stack shape.... ^^) but can have random different shapes when it "drop" on the crop.
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: Nilla on March 06, 2017, 03:07:21 AM
As a former farmgirl I can say; hay is dried grass (and other similar plants) not a crop like the one you have made. Your field seems to make straw, the stalk from crops, also a product used in farming. Mainly it's put on the floor in stables to absorb urine and dung from the animals, to make it easier to clean. Your crop looks good but you should give it another name than hey.

In my childhood hey looked like pic 1. Today like pic 2. I can see some of those just now, when I look out of my window.  :( 3 picture was the only one I found whitout tractor, where a part of the unharvested hay still is shown.

we cannot please everybody :( there are always someone not happy :(
specially with this game that is so restrictive and totally lack of vision. i dont want to make straw, i want to make something that feed the horses. sorry if it doesnt "fit" your reality, Nilla.

meanwhile, i made 4 different random models that will appear on the ground when they harvest it. i have so hard to do these kind of things lol i will never be a good scuptor  :-[
the thing i am happy, the crop looks like more like grass than previously.

i need now to change the numbers, i think i doubled the number too high, i will put them down to 150% of normal crop instead of 200%

Rectangular bales look good to me but the other ones aren't bad either. I think the rectangular ones might be a bit modern for the game, but that doesn't worry me.  :)

From wiki:

Commonly used plants for hay include mixtures of grasses such as ryegrass (Lolium species), timothy, brome, fescue, Bermuda grass, orchard grass, and other species, depending on region. Hay may also include legumes, such as alfalfa (lucerne) and clovers (red, white and subterranean).

Oat, barley, and wheat plant materials are occasionally cut green and made into hay for animal fodder; however they are more usually used in the form of straw, a harvest byproduct where the stems and dead leaves are baled after the grain has been harvested and threshed. Straw is used mainly for animal bedding. Although straw is also used as fodder, particularly as a source of dietary fiber, it has lower nutritional value than hay.



So alfalfa is one plant that can be used to make hay, but there are lots of others. Timothy grass seems to be a popular hay crop in the UK and in the US/Canada. It was popular in the 1700s and by coincidence it looks a bit like the crop you have modeled. Except in real life it's much shorter than your model. So Timothy grass might be a good choice. It's up to you.

Your crop should probably be green because apparently hay crops are harvested when green, but that's a minor detail. Just depends on if you want it to be like real life or not. Again, it's up to you because you are the one making it.  :)

thats not a problem, i can name timothy  ::) i agree about more green... i already thought about it which looking the crops growing... i will anyways have to make some change to my mesh cause i see too much "shadows" under it. it is cause the leaves are rectangle for minimum polygons and i use semi transparent for the look. but the bad shadow engine makes shadows from transparent zones  :-[

a special farm buildings you put in an open field and its worker will work to seed the field with timothy grass ?
and then harvest the field to get hay bundles ?

My hubby and I farmed for over 30 years so I do have some experience in the US.  Yes, hay is cut green then is left to dry until all the moisture is out of it turning it brown.  However, the game limits probably would not allow that unless you could make the crop green and the bales brown.  Green bales would mold and make animals sick.

I like this crop model. Looks similar to my rye and can be easily confused with such grains. So I also suggest to give it green stems and to scale it down to the half of a citizen. Then it can more look like grass. Alfalfa was a great idea by elemental for a forage crop. A pity that this soil quality thing was canceled by Luke. Alfalfa could get the function to increase it. And of course it looks totally different. :)

Go for the forester. Personally I like diversity and crops are in abundance.
I would like to learn that forester gathering myself. Having thoughts about it.

One more thing, even if you have a large radius there are limits.
It won't spread all over the map. Looks natural, I think.

yeah more i stare at it ... and more i like it :)

i ve put the color just a little bit more green, not alot cause too much green it is worst than gold :(

the forest option is better. i'd recommend changing the looks of it thou. mayb a hay barn would be a better fit. will that grass drop hay piles? like when trees are cut they drop logs. to bad we can't use a square instead of a circle. i do think it should be a smaller radius than the vanilla forester ,more like the mini forester.however,that also depends on the output needed to run the set and still produce enough food at the other end. is there plansto add another output to the forester?
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: RedKetchup on March 06, 2017, 09:54:39 AM
for sure there will be another mesh for it, maybe similar to a barn but with hay bundles inside.
i still did another version a little more green so the foresters (<= i will need a name for new profession or should i take the farmers??)... so the foresters plant both: the less green and the more green ^^

i dont see what else i can put as resource ^^
and yes, when they cut those , instead of logs, it drop a hay stack on the ground :)


overall i think it is alot better than if i would have tried the gatherer... foresters plant them at least which gatherers dont do^^
(in this last screenshot, you can see some are greeners)

Quote from: brads3 on March 06, 2017, 09:41:33 AMto bad we can't use a square instead of a circle.

That is very easy to "repair" - draw a square of roads inside the circle, maybe a double road... on the circular segments that are left over, cut the trees and build other structures there to prevent re-planting...

Naturally, you lose some "forest" area (less yield), but with some braining you'll be able to compensate for that, e.g. make two smaller squares and build related structures (barns, stables, housing etc.) on the "wasted" space...  ;)


EDIT

Something like this -

if i put NECORA'S trapper with this i can hunt foxes and rabbits. how fra do you want to take this chain? you could feed the stable hay and grain and depending on the animals get manure and milk.then manure plus water=food.or even add a decorative pasture to the stable and give more options.
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: elemental on March 06, 2017, 02:42:09 PM
You people have been busy overnight.

The grass forester is a good idea and the green grass looks good. Also, using the forester means you can plant more than one type of grass crop. How about some flowering clover? (you don't have to though - one crop is enough)

The only thing I don't like about using the forester is that the grass will be growing in winter. Unless you can fix that? Normal crops die in the cold. Can you make this crop do that too? How do people feel about this?


In addition to what Paeng wrote about roads, if you want square or rectangular grass fields you can also use INVISIBLE ROADS. They are in megamod. Kral made a set or roads and one of them is an invisible road. It stops plants from growing just like a normal road. http://blackliquidsoftware.com/index.php?/files/file/25-grassy-roads/ - link for people who don't use MM.

Two grass foresters - one small radius and one large radius would be good. Hay barn for a hay forester building is a good idea. I would still love to see a ghost version of this building though. Purely for decoration.  :)

Crop name... If people don't like the name timothy grass (it does sound a bit strange to me, but it doesn't bother me) then Red, you can always make up your own name. Red grass or meadow grass or something like that. It doesn't have to be a real-world plant.

I built a shed (what else) and put the forester code with changes for herbs instead.
To my surprise the 'forester' planted herbs but did not gather them.
So I contacted Kralyerg (he was awake) :) and he said that I need a separate
gatherer to collect what the 'forester' planted.
How are you managing that with your hay/grass resource?
Do we need two buildings or do you plan for a button on the toolbar to collect?
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: kralyerg on March 07, 2017, 06:21:46 AM
When you asked me, I was confused and thought you meant a forester that plants trees and the trees spawn the herb. I didn't realize you meant it planted the herbs directly. (Obviously I wasn't awake enough)

I don't see why an herb forester wouldn't work. I'm on mobile right now, so I can't check, but didn't the herbs natural resource file have a pickup profession variable set to herbalist?
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: kid1293 on March 07, 2017, 06:53:27 AM
Yes, it is herbalist as profession. But you can't have both forester and herbalist.
The foresters default is trees and I don't want mess with default files for either herbs
or trees.

he plants the grass(NaturalResourceHayStack.rsc) and he gets hay or fodder when they cut those (RawMaterialHayStack.rsc)
as i see also about another question asked previously, he can only get 1 output : hay/fodder , you cant ask to get 4-5 different output.
the only time they will give you a different output is when there is a tree, iron or stone at the tile they will go plant your resource.

yup all you need is a modified "tree" file (named into something else as you want) to make it work.
and inside that new file you can put everything you want , all the natural resources you want even if you want to put cabbage, turnips, carrots, berries, strawberries , apple, pear, stone, iron, herb.....

the only thing is the output when they harvest them.... i didnt tested yet if we can have a different output for everything depending what they planted.
(which i strongly doubt about that)

I think the forester idea is a good one, I use Kral's ones on my map (his require a gatherer), and I am loving the idea of a 'theme building set', so that the forester/harvester building and the storage match :)  (hint, cough, small footprint option too).
And a matching house :)  (hint, cough, please) :D

It makes more sense if they disappear in winter. In real life that's what fodder/hay is for - feed for winter. But I don't know how well this would work with a forester. Foresters want to plant and cut all year round.

Post by: elemental on March 08, 2017, 11:57:08 PM
Looking good. At first I didn't really like the idea of growing fodder to make manure to make food, but I've warmed to it now. Fodder would have been an essential aspect of rural life but it has been completely ignored in the game - up until now. (chickens and other animals out grazing in the snow!) Even though the animals don't require winter food, we can at least acknowledge some of the effort that goes into keeping them alive over winter through this chain. And if you really wanted to you could trade away some of the fodder for nothing, just to simulate the farm animals eating it.

And as a bonus the buildings look absolutely great.  :)

so i am testing some numbers.....
mainly presently.... i made them disappear when temperature go down

i get a huge problem with this :( they are so much occupied to plant.... and to plant every year...  i barely get 180 fodder per year. around 4 or 5 shot of 30-42 each resource harvested  :-[
there are tons of resources to grab but too much occupied. so i am not sure about that.
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: RedKetchup on March 09, 2017, 01:57:53 AM
the big difference with trees for a forester, i know trees arent eternals but they live through winters and live up to like 9 years (which represent almost a whole citizen life)
so i guess they used to just roaming around and plant ^^ and presently harvest 1 resource is still high at 30-42 per.

if you get lucky and get a mild winter... and get the temperature not going below 20F .... you can get a better harvest next year since they didnt all disappeared but if happends, you get almost nothing next year.

and i didnt gone to see "harsh" starting condition yet ^^

Oh wow and 4 Banis ...  cripes ...
That's a lot of work power needed, if you don't have enough food to even cover 400 units, then  ....  I would use it, other than cos it's fun, and only then with 1 Bani.    (I know this doesn't make food, but if the food at the end of the chain doesn't cover the workers throughout the chain, then I typically won't do it til very late in the game, which is a shame).

I am not complaining (please don't think that) just explaining how I choose food chains, and what I prioritise.  :)

Ok - so, make a smaller building, 'gatherer', that will only harvest what the foresters plant.

Essentially, as the foresters go along and plant all their goodies, the harvester goes along after them harvesting the goodies.
The building would be smaller, (or, at least one of the buildings would be smaller), and fit together with the Forester & (hopefully the small) barn, and it's a little working area.

If you had the smaller foresters, who plant, in the smaller building, you then keep your larger building, but for the harvesters, as you already have the decorations etc, and the room for the 'storage', in a sense.

Thoughts???
(just casual ideas @RedKetchup but it's a way to combat the issue of the foresters not harvesting in time, and the workload can be split then, and a profit can still be made, either by food (end of chain) or at the traders. :D )


Further thought .... the buildings would have a medium footprint (if more than 1), that way you don't lose too much planting room.  Otherwise, have the gatherer with double the radius, and then they can cover 2 areas, so you could have 2 forester buildings in the 1 harvesters radius, if the harvester works quicker than the forester.  That way we are also not losing valuable land to just buildings).
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: RedKetchup on March 09, 2017, 03:26:27 PM
no i think the best answer is to not let die these patches of grass, once they took 2-3 years and fill the gound up, the production becomes stable and productive.
and more of patches better look is too.

a 4 workers crop gives 1534 food/year
a 4 workers gatherer hut gives 2250 food/year

so a 2 workers fodder + 2 stablemen = 4 + 2 water gatherer and 2 greenhouse workers = 2x4 total. then at the end should give 4500 food/year
which is good to keep alive 45 citizens
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: QueryEverything on March 09, 2017, 03:31:05 PM
Cool :)  I'm happy with that.
What gave me the idea was how I set up my renewable resources fields, the stone & iron.

I build the 1st building:  (MM/CC) Stone Harvester, then within it's radius I build the renewable resources buildings, in the 4 quadrants of the first radius, so I then end up with 4 stone renewable buildings.
I do the same for foresters as well.  I plant the largest footprint forester, then I plant in 4 of the small dense forestry buildings. 

I end up with the same outer footprint of the 'harvesters', but end up with 5 plant/harvesting areas to produce the needed resources.

BUT - I was really hoping you would say you wouldn't have it die off.  (A little cheaty(?!?!?!, not complaining), but when has that stopped me?!? hehehe)

That seems like a lot of food for a small greenhouse. I guess it's working all year round and not just spring/summer, and I know this chain is long and complicated and it needs to make a "profit" to be worthwhile. Difficult to balance.

If the grass forester isn't working fast enough you could add another step:

- Forester grows and harvests fodder crop.
- Hay barn dries crop and makes hay. 100 green fodder crop makes 200 hay, or something like that. It would be another building and more workers, but it gives you more control over how much hay is produced.

But just letting the grass stay alive over winter is another option.

so far i did made a test without grass dying. and it worked out pretty well :) my test started on mild, medium start.

my plan is 1 fodder farmer building (which has 2 worker) sustain 2 stable (which has 2 worker each) and each stable should sustain 2 greenhouse each. need to add water to that.

results : (only got 1 stable and 2 greenhouse due number of population)

30-42 fodder per resource harvested is too high and i wish it can still sustain with 24-32 output (thats the number i hope to reach out)

the water output is too high, i wish 2 worker for sustaining 2 greenhouse( and a stable). i only had 1 well,  i need to add some work unit (+2 work unit)

2 greenhouse produced 3000 food each (6000 total) which is alot too much if you count 2 worker for 2 greenhouse+2 for stable+1 water+2 fodder) so i will add +2 work unit + 1 water to recipes


of course before the end i will need to add +1 more greener patch of grass for randomness
make the little greenhouse +1,+1 tiles bigger overall.

@RedKetchup I've come across this bug ...
Using your RK Storage, for the 107 toolbar, and the small Protein Barn & Veg/Fruit Barn.
The Bannies are dumping all fruit & veg in the Protein Barn, not the Veg one.

The tiny ones are fine, it's just the small ones :)

no it produce animal food, not good for human :)

it is miscellaneous (?) "custom7" flag item : Fodder


with it you make another miscellaneous (?) "custom7" flag item : fertilizer

and with the fertilizer, there, you make food :)

Yeah, and it works really well... after converting a forester circle into a feed/hay circle (which took long because I did not cut the trees in one fell swoop)... anyway, then built the stables and greenhouse, selected corn for output, which I gave to Kid's workplace Grinder, who gave the flour to the  bakery... and now everybody has nice fresh bread - loads of it, very powerful chain...  :P

* Just curious - about the (beautiful) haystacks... I only got exactly 1, once... have not seen any since? How often do they cut the feed and build haystacks?

so the chain works well ? you say powerful.... alot powerful ? numbers too high ?
when they harvest a patch of grass it gives 24-32 fodder.
the stable takes 12 (along with 2 water) and make 6-8 fertilizer.
the greenhouse takes 2 fertilizer + 2 water again, and make the number of food accordingly what is written in the food file (which is used for crop too 20-28)

so grass: 2.5 X 6-8 fertilizer = 15-20. then greenhouse /2 = 7.5-10 X 20-28 food = 150-280 food (and took 20-25 water too)


about the forester tech. not sure how they work, but they seems to be random like the game RNG the tile, they go there, if there is something already they harvest the thing (tree, stone, iron, or fodder) and they dont plant, if there is nothing, they plant. so the behavior i see, if the RNG bring the forester on a grass patch, they harvest it. they dont systematicly harvest everything it full grown.

1 feed forester (2  workers) - 2688 fodder
1 stable (2 workers) - 648 fertilizer

and how many workers for the water ? 1 or 2 ?

so 2k food for 6 workers ?
thats not too much OP, gatherers get 2k for 4 workers, crop 1580 for 4 workers.

if you think thats too much fodder and you get overload alot.... the fodder farmer is intented to provide 2 set of stables/greenhouses
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: Denis de la Rive on March 10, 2017, 07:47:41 PM
Seeing those numbers it looks like 400 or so food per worker, (2000 by 5 workers) which is ok considering the space and resources required, I get about 500 to 700 food for one worker on 100 squares of crops. Design wise the advantage of going seedless is very valuable, it means that you can get bread without having to trade for seeds. This is very much like the domestic animals in CC, (milk, wool, eggs), and can be an important tool for survival. The requirements of space and resources makes this I believe well balanced, and it changes the way you get food. Like your watch towers a new way of getting food opens up many more strategies for survival.   :)

sorry.
Bonemeal is basically all the waste products left over from the slaughter of meat animals, it consists of ground up bones, skin, sinew, intestines. meat offcuts and so on that can't be used for food or other products (like glue). In was (and still is) used as a fertilizer and while it's typically called bonemeal in English, there are other names for it as well, here in Australia it's more commonly called "blood & bone".
More recently, bonemeal has been used as animal feed and was part of the cause of "mad cow disease".

bah it will be the traditional warehouse i made 2 years ago : it had the trading post UI and you store everything you want (even precious if you like).
it will be heavily garded ^^ not letting a single citizen to steal from it ^^

I did resized it +12 % in x,y but not in height z. it was already high enough.
now it has a footprint of 9x7 instead of 8x6. to compensate , i allowed more weight to be store in it : 90,000 weight.
(it had 50,000 before and that number has been setup before Luke made a boost to his vanilla trading post (from 35k to 60k) so now it has +50% more capacity than the vanilla trading post.


i did 7 different color : New shingles blue, New orange peebles, Blacksmith shingles brown, Country shingles black, Ketchup shingles dirty brown, Boston black asphalt tiles, New red damaged ceramic.


It is uploaded now and even posted in here :)

there is no chimney in this one, but the sign for being worked, this building has 2 lamps which will light on when the building has workers working.

@RedKetchup so for us lesser skilled beings, what was the main thing you did to drastically cut that poly count without loosing, actually gaining, detail?
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: RedKetchup on March 13, 2017, 09:23:15 PM
back in the day i didnt know anything about UV mapping and nothing how to cut a piece in the shape i want.

so instead to make 1 big piece, i was making tons of little pieces in order to get the look i wanted.
in the screenshots you can see the old one, a polygon is a triangle face (red shaped triangle in 1st screen) linked together by 3 vertex points (blue dots in 2nd screen). everytime you get 3 vertex, you have a polygon linked to it and used to render the texture.

and since i didnt know how to cut the shape, i had to add tons of lines horizontal, and vertical in order to get tons and tons of little blue dots - point of intersection between vert and horiz lines. and then use these little blue dots to move them and give the shape i wanted.

as you can see, the new one is made of big pieces.

I was wondering ...  @RedKetchup is there a way of making a smaller version of @Tom Sawyer "Nordic Warehouse", for toolmakers and clothing tailors?
I really love his warehouse and I use it on every map, but it is large.


Seeing what you've done here with your warehouse, that's brilliant and will use it around some of my more advanced resource manufacturers, but I was thinking of something more automated, where the bannie builders, manufacturers could access the building. 


I normally use a bunch of small carts, but that takes away bannies from other areas of production (sometimes needing 4+ bannies for the specialised markets etc)...


Thoughts?
(not in anyway saying you HAVE to, but would you please think about it?!?)
:D
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: RedKetchup on March 13, 2017, 10:50:42 PM
the problem with specialized stockage UI like trading post UI and let bannies from area pickup is we dont have control over it, it is all locked out inside the game code.

the best about TomSawyer nordic warehouse.... he would be the best person to answer this since he possesses the mesh and the design... personally to make it smaller i would need to go check what it is and do one smaller.

i know you love smaller building 1x1 or 1x2 ... but is it good to make everything so small and have the same capacity as a big one?, the same material costs as a big one? have 20 building in a 6x6 tiles which costed a few log and a few stone?
take the apiary, a 8x8? building with 4 workers that give 2500 honey per year ? if you make them 2x2 with 1 person... you get similar output, costed 1/10th of mats ... in a 8x8 you can at the end put 8 of these in a 8x6 zones, and at the end you have 8x2500 honey with 8x1 workers in a smaller zone than original...

but i know your passion :)
i will check later if i can do something :)
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: QueryEverything on March 13, 2017, 11:15:25 PM
You have very valid points @RedKetchup :)
I agree with you regarding the storage size, and would state that any smaller storage would need to be scaled down, as long as the larger storage unit wasn't 'under stored'.

As long as a large unit had good numbers, then there is no reason why a smaller one couldn't be reduced as well.  That would be the trade off.

If a 10x6 building stored 60,000 units, but I wanted a 5x3 building, then I would agree that 30,000 units would be acceptable.  :)

Of course storage boost mods don't hurt in this instance :D hahaha.

Added in Warlords Of Draenor garrisons, buildings there got newer textures. So i thought these ones could be nice.

Also personally... I could love see horde buildings alike.  :D

i try to not do too much stuff world of warcraft though .... i dont have the blizzard inc permission to do that.
2 years ago i made many more and i ve got strikes on my little hands cause a stupid jalous who sent them a complain  :(
it was cause that i took all my mods from steam and banished info and deleted all posts talking of the creations about that; back 2 years ago.

i finished the 1st floor color 1 :)

i even added 1 "build03" building process step and the overall file will go down ^^
since the 1st floor cannot have smoke in the chimney cause people will most likely build a 2nd floor ontop of it and there will be smoke inside the house....

Instead, i've put a little light post torch on the wall which will light ON once it will be occupied by citizens :)
even with 1/10th of the overall polygons... this is how it have should been look if i had some talent or knowledge back in the days lol


once the 2 floor done, after, it will be quick to just switch textures around and do all the colors.

i added a new build during the building process (build03).... Even if i added a 7th color (blue Stormwind) .....

the Colorful Little House .pkm file jumped down from 24 MB to 6,67 MB lol

A citizen and his family has gone to Stormwind City during their vacations, and when they came back, they decided to paint their house the same color most of the houses there are painted ^^
they found that wonderful, i think :)

Post by: RedKetchup on March 15, 2017, 10:37:18 PM
hmmmmm

looks like with a problem here  :-X


it seems forester can only "plant" one thing.

usually it plants trees, there is 7-8 differents looks of trees but it is still one thing : tree (which once harvested = one thing : logs)
i made them plant grass, i made 3-4 different design/color ("look") of grass but it is still one thing: grass (which once harvested = one thing : fodder)
i can make them plant blueberry, there is only 1 design of blueberry but doesnt matter, and it is still one thing : blueberries (which can be harvested by gatherers = one thing: blueberries)

i cannot ask them to plant more than one thing. whatever how i try to write the code, or it crash or it simply ignore the extra things.


but i can maybe get around it by :
ask them to plant one thing : something (which can have a dozen of models : low grass, bushes, other wild thing, just diff models) and that One thing can be harvested by forester and give One thing ... i dunno... Firewood.

and add a side effect to spawn a variety of food like : raspberry, blueberry, strawberry, blackberry, garlic, etc ... i need a list of foraging edible  food :P
and those would spawn indirectly like onion/mushroom/blueberry/roots are spawning  from trees.


if i modifer the spawn list of actual trees... it will conflict all the mods which try to use that list and spawn something else .... probably like maple sap :P
so i dont want too. and big part of the goal... is not to add food lol, but just add 3D to the game ^^

So are they going to be decorative or herbs or something else?

i cannot plant different food. i can only plant one thing.

That's what confused me.

If you want food and lots of variety in 3D models, your gatherer could harvest "forest foods" or "wild harvest" or something like that and then another building could sort them into different foods. Same as Kid's veggie patch mod. Generic veggies get grown and then they get sorted into carrots, beans, potatoes, etc.

Also, you might like to take a look at this:

Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: RedKetchup on March 16, 2017, 12:36:11 AM
yeah that guys is working good :) but what he tries is just add diversity. instead to have 1 unique mushroom look when it spawns, you can, and he wants to, make 9-12 different looks so it is random.
but it is still 1 one, one mushroom. it is just the look of it that is random.

he wants to add also flowers... but i didnt read all... i am not sure how he wants to implement in game. maybe 1 toolbar and in that toolbar he has like 50 icon you can click to put on the ground a ghosted flower.

thats not what i want to do

i want forester to plant 1 thing (no choice i cannot plant 2+ things)
and this One thing will make spawn dozens of food.

Post by: QueryEverything on March 16, 2017, 03:34:48 AM
@RedKetchup have you seen @kralyerg "Wild things Forester", it plants a huge range of produce from the "All the wild things map", it's listed in the 'trees' menu, far right.

He's got it to make many different things, so there should be a way to make a berry forester, or other multi-item forester. ??
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: kralyerg on March 16, 2017, 04:09:31 AM
The Wild Things Forester doesn't plant many things, it just plants trees. Then the trees spawn many things. RedKetchup is right in that it won't let you do more than 1.

How many things can a tree spawn? You could make the forester plant a nice grass model and then that spawn a tonne of different bushes that produce berries.

What foraging foods? Well, around here I can think of cranberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, saskatoons for berries. Probably more that I can't think of right now.

how they get harvested ?
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: brads3 on March 16, 2017, 08:22:19 AM
would it look better if you scale down the size of the bushes? make them more shrub size than tree size? or mix it and make most shurb size but leave  a couple of the larger size. how big is the circle?? i take it we are looking ar a forest + gatherer set to make it work. what if instead of the forester doing logs,he harvests firewood only? then the gatherer finds food.
   i have not seen TANDY'S mods,my comp won't show the pics. how much did she add or change to her gatherers? i know she added flax. i don't think we want to step on or re-design something she may have done already. the guy at the BL site seems to have similar ideas on changing the looks of the grounds and plants. from what i read the mushroom was just an example. the flowers were ideas to change the herb plants. if he can add them without changing the game function codes,it would b interesting to see what he can come up with. maybe he will come up with a way to override the vanilla plants graphics.

In the wild tree forester I put a wild version of every crop that CC and vanilla have.  Then I made the vanilla gatherers hut also collect them.l, just like the regular tree spawns.

Firstly, @RedKetchup absolutely amazeballs :)  I go to sleep for a few hours and I come back and voila, inspiration struck you like hammer to anvil :)  Awesome work.  :) :) :)  I'm not complaining about the bushes, but, I can tell you my blackberry bushes are so fat it can hide kangaroos and sheep behind it and I'd never know! 

True story:  I couldn't see my 2 sheep last season and I heard them bleating quite loudly, I also hadn't seen one of the kangaroos either; I sent husband looking for the sheep to see what was wrong, apparently a kangaroo had gotten too close to "their" blackberry bush and they weren't thrilled!!  Little known fact, sheep have 'sweet tooth', they love anything sweet and that includes blackberries straight off the bush, and other little things (I have a few more ShawnTilda stories ;)

Back to this ...  Looking really good and loving the other berry ideas that @Necora added.  Also:  loganberry; boysenberry; orange berry (legit); quandong - nectarbrook; muntries (ok, now that's very odd, most wouldn't have heard of that one)
Or, you can do a native range, say, an Aussie tree (ahem, cough, cough, c'mon Aussies, +1 this for me please ;) ) (only somewhat serious/joking ;) ;) ;)

@kralyerg I was meaning to ask, the forester itself only needs to maintain the tree balance, correct?  So, I'd say, after the initial plant has happened with the 4 foresters, scaling the foresters back to 1, rather than 4 paired with a 2 team gatherer, that should be a good balance?

@QueryEverything  That seems about right.  The more mature trees you have, the more things can spawn. But, the wild things forester, as well as the whole wild things map in general is inherently not balanced. Because there's 66 spawns (I just counted them, I had wildly misremembered when I said 30) fighting for space, you get lots and lots and lots of resources collected from the gatherer.
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: QueryEverything on March 16, 2017, 06:53:57 PM
I had wondered about that, but I'm never one to complain about overbalanced produce ;)
Thanks for the answer :D

i think i succeeded to make them look a bit better.
the problem i am facing, even if i add an AO file i am not getting "shadows" inside my bushes.
yes it cast a shadow on the ground... but "inside" the tree itself, i am not getting shadows which make them look odd.

the way i succeeded to make them look better, i think, is by adding 3x more leaves.
the 1st set of leaves it is clear and light.
the 2nd set is same leaves but darker and is placed a bit lower than first set (0,1 lower)
and the 3rd set is the same leaves but alot more darker and placed again more lower (another 0,1 lower)

and to add some random, i turned , rotated, the medium dark leaves with a +10 degres, and the darkest one a 10% minus, the other way.

i think it look less odd.

Ah yes good old pollarded trees. There is not a single tree in the UK that has not been at one time or another pollarded.

@RedKetchup how many polys do these willow trees have? I can do a similar thing with blender, I used it to make the textures for the pines, but I wasn't sure if doing it for the tree itself would make it to heavy for the game. It would be way better than the boring trunks the vanilla game has though!
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: QueryEverything on March 20, 2017, 03:52:33 PM
I just put in @Necora's thread that I have much tree envy and my fave maps so far is the CC Pines (easy, i'm not a sadist (gaming anyway ;) ) on a Very Large Map, mild.  I have trees everywhere, trees, trees and more trees!

I live part-time on 5 acres of bushland, with large aged trees, and the rest of the time is on open land, and only a handful of tress insight, and none in my boundary fence, so ...  more trees make me happy.

Ok, its really easy to keep me happy, and you are all doing it with these mods.  :)
Thank you!!!

the willows have too many poly has to be edited and finished. it is mostly only tests i am doing presently. trying to check different technics to make trees.

there is a technic that is full 3D (a technic that adds alot of poly).
there is a technic that is full 2D (a technic that is extremly low poly but look very bad)
there is a technic that is called Hybrid 2D-3D that is obviously the best way to go but that is also wider about results from more 2D-3D to less 2D-3D depending the % of each part.

for sure you cant make them full 3D nor make them full 2D. Also the quality of the .png has alot of importance but extremly hard and long to do.

the willow has 20k and i know that s way too much
the other are between 1.5 to 5k that is more acceptable but can be better. also more you work with 2D and harder it is because you see nothing. in 3Dsmax they arent invisible.

but keep in mind those flowers are not planted by the workers ! they are spawns

they are spawn like onion... mushroom... etc etc etc and everyone knows that onions and mushrooms are way out of scale. because they are a spawn and they are a resource to be pickup :)
i am not sure what i ll do with these flowers.... be harvested and give essences of flowers and make perfume with these ? ? ? i dont know.

the thing is : if harvested ... they will disappear !
i am not sure if i want them to disappear ^^ lol

unless i can find a way they last very very long.... and being harvested very late in their .... "existence"

Your fodder gave me an idea: is it possible to have a building that only has a circle, with no house in the middle that spawns crop plants that can be harvested in autumn? Because I've long had a problem with the rectangular fields and how they don't work well with shorter and mountains that aren't straight... Placing these buildings would fill the holes left by the regular fields.

Maybe off-topic but...
How do you set up your models to move (in the wind)?
Is it FoliageMaterial?
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: RedKetchup on March 27, 2017, 02:10:28 AM
if the leaves need to float and disappear in winter = BillboardMaterial
if the leaves need to float but stay green all winter = BillboardEvergreenMaterial

foliageMaterial not sure how much different but it is for pines. maybe the movement different ?

you start a new UV on channel 3
you put everything that doesnt move the most smallest of the smalllest of the smallest ^^ at 0,0
and everything else at 0,0 but of the size of a check square

you also need a UV channel 2 that exist (even if it is a fake)  the game need to take the 3rd it sees. if no channel 2 it will take the chan3 for a chan2 (if that make sense)

@Necora explained it there for Blender users:

Thanks. WIll test. Right now I have several polys on each branch. Maybe I'll have to make each a square.

edit -
@Necora - Can confirm you don't have to have square poly's in foliage map. Slightly irregular and
multi-faceted works too. Just place over 0,0.
And thanks for finding out about the third UV map and Blender!
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: Necora on March 27, 2017, 06:10:27 PM
@kid1293 any should do. If you have square ones then I think you can just hit the unwrap reset option and move the square so it is over 0'0. Most of my trees now have multi faces and shapes, so what I did was select all faces that have the leaves material, look down on the model from the top (num pad 7), and hit 'project from view'. Then move the whole projection to 0'0. You can play around with the scaling, I think the further a vertice is from 0'0 the more it will move in the wind.

This should work with BillboardMaterial (what I used for the Aspen in the picture) for also appearing in spring/disappearing in fall and facing the camera (although, I'm not sure that the face the camera part actually works every time), BillboardEvergreenMaterial which keeps faces pointing to camera and no snow will accumulate, or FoliageMaterial which is what I use for my pines as it moves in the wind, doesn't face camera, and accumulates snow in the winter.

RED, i think the fodder output is still too high. i just went thru and checked some of your goal numbers in the post. you figured 2 workers at 1 fodder forester,2 stables,and 2 greenhouses per stable. i use 1 worker at the fodder,2 stables, and had 3 greenhouses. even thou i am placing the fodder forester with the circle over water, so i am only getting half a circle of fodder, it is way high. i keep hitting the max limit on fodder and shuts down the fertilizer. last time i tried to go with 3 greenhouses and still was overpowered. i use water fast but never fodder. this is after i loaded the update where you dropped the fodder by 25%. can we get those large hay piles as decorations?when are you adding the flowery grasses? thanks.

the guys is never satisfied and asked to redo again and again without really being conscious of polygons constraints. yeah having 50,000 polygons in something has more details lol but when you go further than 1,000 for someting that the map will be covered with .... it is not wishful at all.

That way you can have bushes all year round and flowers in the summer.
Yes I know they harvest the whole plant, but they plant it just as quick.

Thanks. They are just 'small bushes' with foliage material on branches and billboards on flowers.
I made them for another idea I had but they can be used for making scented soap or perfume.
A small radius is easy to wall off with roads or buildings. Perfect in the backyard.
I am not ready to make a production chain with them but you are welcome if you want them.

I sadly won't update just for the change in output. ;)

As for the NMT buildings, can't wait @RedKetchup to see what you do with them.
Also, maybe a 2nd drying building, 2 x X +1 road; to fit along the water areas (yes, I know, small small small, haha).  Even a building that is 3 (+1 road) X 6 wide, like the existing one, but not as deep.
Slower output to account for the smaller footprint??

Garden Walls: Utility for 1.0.7

UPDATE 2.0 :

I lowered alot the fodder number produced.
I lowered a bit the number of fertilizer produced and put a bit more work to produce it.
i scared a bit the amount of hay on the ground, much nearer of a forest is producing.
i ve put a little bit bigger radius from 20 to 24.
now hay on the ground can spawn flowers in the empty tiles. Flowers will change color and disappear in winter as they will float with wind.
the hay now will change color and disappear from sight in winters. they also will float with wind now.
A new building: Florist will harvest these flowers and
another new building: Perfumery will produce perfume with those flowers.
Perfume is essentially a vendor product for the moment.

The update is fully compatible with old saves :)
Enjoy !

@RedKetchup I know I may not be your most favourite person in the world, and I know I am rather annoying (no, seriously, my 15yr old son tells me so), but, may I please add another request?

When updating the food production buildings in the Medieval set, can we please have additionally a smaller Drying Rack.
I've been watching Vikings (tv), and been doing some research and have seen a lot of smaller drying racks that were used.
I've added a whole bunch of ideas to my pinterest board, as well as smoking buildings etc.  Some aren't great, but there are some that look terrific, and they are small, which is what I'm interested in. 
But, they are also efficient, so the numbers wouldn't have to be scaled down too much, especially given the fish ingame are small, and the meat cuts would also be small, so you would fit a lot on the drying racks, or in the smoker.

:)
Please at least take a look :D :D  If you've no interest, that's completely ok.

meanwhile i was back to ... Asian ...

i did 6 "wood" houses... and 6 "stone" houses.... and @Paeng  will be happy ... i didnt necessairly make them very much different but gave instead a different "angle" :)

the "wood" houses are dirty, poor, straw roof, wood, an incense bowl in front for a light little smoke as occupation sign...
and the "stone" are more clean with roof tiles, a stone base and a stone chimney, some paint walls...

i know not everything is perfect ... but i am tired to spend and lose 5-6 days because a branch is not as wished or expected.... (refencing to all the time i ve lost to bamboo, cherry trees....) so .... i am trying now to do simple and it will stay as i decided ^^

I like them, I also liked the original ones you did as well. I don't care if they are not perfectly Japanese or Chinese or whatever. They have an Asian style that is distinctly different to the European style of the original game (which was not perfectly European anyway...). I would be happy to use these buildings and other similar Asian styled buildings you mnight make.

i deleted unwanted polygons in it, something was totally really wrong (deleted a good k of poly)
some people told me at some point to be japanese... it had too many small squares on the wall and should have been bigger... so i deleted half of the wooden beams making the square planes bigger. i ve put a window in the back, and some paintings too :)

A new set with a new design. :) Look nice.

You say factory. Does it mean, that you can assign "a lot" of workers into it? Even if there are a few "factory looking" buildings, (like your ketchup factory and Kid's sugar refinery) they are no real factories, since you can only assign a few workers (2 if I remember right). A real factory for late game use, could be something new to Banished. It would not be historically false. Many of the Banished buildings (vanilla and modded) are of 19 century design; time of industrial revolution. I guess it will not be easy to set the "numbers". A factory should produce a lot but of cause not be overpowered.

Looking good red :)

A whole scale of factories in the making.

yeah i have a set of factories going all together with the same textures 3-4 .png
it is from Caesar IV :) the very old game (September 26th 2006). the meshes arent really usable for banished but it gives me models to copying from and i am redoing everything, from the little box to every little boxes, re-texturing everything and re-unwrapping everything ^^ piece by piece :)

it is still alot of work to do .... but it goes well.
next one will be the glass factory :)

O yes I remember Caesar IV.

That is what I sometimes do, buy a cheap model and just use some parts of it like the horses I used in the Farm house and/or use it as a idea and build it myself from scratch.

Or use pictures like that house what Gatherer posted. I like that house in the second picture and went on to create it.
The horses from a bought mesh came in handy here as I have no clue how to model a horse from scratch LOL

even before that, Egypt was under occupation from rome and was a vessal of Roman Empire.
they had to give XX grain sacks per year to Rome.

the only time they didnt respected their annual payments .... was when Mark Antony was gone there with Cleopatra :)

All that Rome stuff made me watch Spartacus again.

I love that movie directed by Stanley Kubrick with stars like Kirk Douglas, Laurence Olivier, Peter Ustinov, John Gavin, Charles Laughton, a very young Tony Curtis, and of course the beautiful Jane Simmons.
The last battle scene at almost the end of the movie is Epic and lots of Spanish soldiers were used in the scene as there was no CGI in those days.

Yeps.

They had their shields all around and on top.
If some ever watched the movie Troy you see sort of the same if the Greeks land on the beach at Troy and form a sort of Turtle (Testudo) with their shields.

The only problem was that some later the enemies became aware that the turtle while protecting the Roman Legionaries also paralyzed them in mobility and speed.

well last 2 days in the NMT 3.0Series: Canal System it was going very very slow.

mostly cause
1. Since the meshes were very very old and i was so noob back in time.... i decided to redo them all with the knowledge i know today :P
2. Also i was experimenting the new river particles and lost lot of time to try to make curves in the flow of the water...

So in front of the burden of the incredible amount of work and amount of efforts i will have to do because there is sooooooo many pieces in this canal part of Medieval Town...
i decided to scrapt (delete) everything i made so far since 2 days... and start over.

Yes today i have tons more knowledge than before and working alot more faster to compare back in time... However, there is tons of work to think and do that is not necesairely about making a 3d mesh but also alot of hard work about to make things to fit together and have a nice flow of 3d meshes place side to side and they need to fit perfectly. :S

so i decided today to NOT redo the 3D meshes (and let them with all the bad works they had) and just convert the "fake water image" i've did to the new "water particles", just that and let everything else as it was ^^


and i am extremly surprise how fast how it goes and how easy to just do that and i am lucky, everything work just fine!
everything get converted to real water like an extreme beauty and an extreme easiness (or ease) :)

in a 2-3 hours, i made all the "classic" NMT stone walls 4X set :)
(gonna do the 6X and 8X set after a 15mins break i am taking)

I can say .... some items are looking so much AWESOME !!!!  :D

they cannot be that way , the waves need to flow on the canal way and not go at 90 and "start" from a wall and "hit" the other wall the other side !
they need to go that way :

-----------------------------------
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s
------------------------------------

and follow the canal.

Sorry to hijack your thread Red

I have mt Shore Hut building almost finished but how you assign 2 rawmaterials they must gather?
It won't consume anything but need still a box so players can decide to either gather Sand or Clay.

It is probably pretty easy but I have no examples how to do it with a building what not consume materials.

I also read sometime something about using the RNG but how to do this?

you will need to put a stringtable this require this or that even if there is no input, you need "text" to be written so people can read and select the sand or the clay

in fact it is same as blacksmith or tailor, but without input

Sorry

I was not clear enough. It is a building and the word gatherer is wrong in this sentence.

It is like my water well but then the player can choose what to produce, either Clay or Sand without any input.

But I figured it out. I can just use the Consume Produce UI and just leave the ConsumeRawMaterial _consumeMaterials part out

Then still do the Require string and all is set. It works :)

Ah, I was testing and you posted already what I did. :)

when you used NMT in your games..... which sizes of the canals you were using ? 4X 6X did you ever used the 8X ?
i am wondering if i should do these 8X , if nobody never used it at all (since too big, loosing too much precious space for just an huge looking canal lol)
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....

Post by: RedKetchup on May 03, 2017, 12:42:45 AM
i finished to convert the Classic StoneWalls canal 4X 6X and 8X :)

i noticed something though : my canal water is not as same level as the Creeks, Lakes or Big River water level... i would need to lift it up like 2 stones row (of the canal walls)
but i dont think thats an obligation. :P
for sure , it would probably change a bit the overall aspect of the canals to lift everything up 2 stone rows (fishing docks, trading posts too). so i am not sure. i need to think and take a decision :P
i can also maybe just up of 1 row of stone.... which can reduce the big difference when connecting a body of water. (without changing too much the trading post overall  look)

but if i go back and lift everything up from 1 or 2 stone row.... it will be still alot of work overall cause the big number of pieces i need to edit ^^


i also noticed i need to do some ... horizontal mirrors < -- > of some pieces... depending if our canal flow from left to right or right to left ^^ which are : the corners, the 3ways, the docks and the fishing docks, the trading posts, the end of the canal. (the straights, 1 tile fillers, bridges, 4 ways dont need mirror)


gonna do the mirrors and then switching to the Old stones set (the one similar to CC dock set)

edit: the screenshots are from the 8X Classic NMT stones.


--------------

edit2 : i can also just modify the "gates" to adapt the level of water by "tilting" and rotate the water plane and try to match both, the canal level and the river level.
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: The Pilgrim on May 03, 2017, 03:25:17 AM
Historically and even today canals are often at a different water level from the surrounding natural bodies of water. They use locks (pretty similar to the gates that you made) to control water levels. So you really aren't pressed to change anything as far as that goes.
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: elemental on May 03, 2017, 03:37:02 AM
Looking good with the new water.  :)

You mention flow direction. Somebody else mentioned river materials and lake materials the other day. I'm wondering if the lake materials is just water without a flow direction? It's just a guess and it might be wrong but you might like to investigate it.

Canals can certainly have their own water level but it would also be good if we could build a canal at river level. Sometimes it can be useful to cut through weird little bits of land to join up rivers and lakes and to do this a canal piece at river level would be best.

Ha, I'm actually an Ajax fan too! You might guess that this gave me a pretty difficult childhood ;). I do agree that it's time that we got some competition again though :P.

@RedKetchup I agree with Pilgrim, the water levels in canals are often regulated with gates just like yours, so don't worry about the heights :). One thing I notice in your screenshots is that the stone in the water looks a bit bright.. you can use the OpaqueInWaterMaterial for them to appear darker underwater if you want.

@elemental the lakeMaterial creates water without a directional flow indeed. I guess it kind of depends on what type of canals you want to go for. City canals generally don't have much flow to them, while larger canals dug for transport flow just like a normal river.
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: RedKetchup on May 03, 2017, 06:08:05 AM
ok then i am gonna let it like it is presently, because higher level of water it wont do same effect on some building if lift up all the jetties.

the thing about waves or calm water : more calm the water it is , more we see the lines between each plane of water. each piece has it own plane, so when you put pieces side by side, it has unfortunatly a line between pieces.... and more calm water you have, more evident it is. i prefer more waves, it is less evident.

about the opaque in water material... i ll check it.

May I request one thing for the canal set??  Since Roman times mills were often located on canals... I would love to see at the very least a sawmill available for the set. Gristmill, foundry and textile mills would be great too but I'm not greedy. Even better would be a way of being able to construct the existing watermill models on the canal (ghosting the banks perhaps?)

can i ask what is a gristmill ?

I'll do some research on the seams in the water when I have the time.. I think with certain UV settings the texture should be seamless. At least Mr. Luke got it to be like that for the rivers, so it should be possible for us as well :P.

About canals.

(https://i.imgur.com/UhZw4hG.jpg)

I wonder if canals like here in Gilneas City might be possible? I mean here connection between canal and main land.

Here is better view for what i mean, look at left down corner of the city.

i dont think @DesoPL  because we are digging the ground and your other side is not a wall, but the untouched nature ground. i cannot dig like that and let the other side very natural. it is always stupid straight squares.
even if @Bartender  would explain to me how he did his round pool (with files as examples...) it would be extremly alot of work to make a set in every brick textures to get that.


meanwhile.... in the world of the old [CC] bricks textures........

YES In same time of another part i already prepared : NMT 3.0 Series: Clay Chain



meanwhile in the world of the old brick texture .... all mirror (opposite river flows) : done :)
next will be : redo ALL the footprints on the ground with a blue arrow showing which side the river will flow^^

oh, oh, oh ....  @RedKetchup (excitedly), is that the small fish drying space I've been asking for ages ago?
It loooooooks like it, please tell me it is (I love @Discrepancy new one for his jetty mod, it suits it very well), but I am still after a small one, and that looks like it is in the 0244_1 pic ...  pleeeeeeeeeeease?

Ok, in seriousness ...  it is looking excellent, I can see how this would fit into any game idea, and I see Disc's jetty mod working with it, to create an amazing waterfront harbour, to inland trade centre, very exciting indeed!!!  :D

ps:  is there a way to have an angled corner?  An inner elbow perhaps?  I don't know how you'd do it, or even if it's possible, just a thought :D

next: i noticed they didnt even had a recycle bin on the windows (was too noob back in time^^)



edit: btw CL stands for Classic NMT stones , OB stands for Old Brick (CC) style
i will probable add 2 more textures in a seperate addon: FS for Fire Stones , and OC for Old Church style (both textures introduced in GW)

@RedKetchup sorry to interrupt work in progress , I'm sure it is not a good time, but I have a few final requests.



1)  If Discrepancy is adding your Choo Choo tracks to Iron Smelter he and users of that mod will probably want the deco tunnel.  I know I asked several times before and it finally got added to the 1.0.7 update of choo choo  which I and other l.0.6 players can't use because of added new flag items.  Could WE have that deco tunnel separated and added here to download, please?



2)  I know I asked for this several times and you then added it to l.07 version of Old Hunter's Hut but could that hunter lodge be separated for me.  I use the Old Hunter's Hut with residence all the time and would like to keep that in it's original position in the tool bar rather than under community but that means I am missing the hunters lodge I requested.



3) I am guessing you forgot my request for the NMT fishing pond.



Well, if not it doesn't matter, thank you for your time and great mods  :)

Wut ? why you dont use choo choo ? this mod never has been updated to 1.0.7 yet !! it doesnt use the new flag items at all. the last update has been 1.0.6 before the 1.0.7. so do you still want the deco tunnel as stand alone ? because nothing in the world prevent you to use the choochoo mod.

what was the specificity of that request ? (cause i didnt started to touch NMT items till very lately, a week ago...)
the way you did your sentence, i guess it is a request for a stand alone fishing pool ? do you want it with real moving waters ? or very old dull one ? or hybrid ?

While you are thinking about water and fish ponds, is it possible to have some fish ponds in unusual, irregular shapes?

I'd also love to see a rectangular brick pond to fit in with your Garden Walls set. A nice big one, maybe 2x4 or 3x5. Maybe even bigger than that.  :)

irregular shapes is very hard for me to do, i never understood what @Bartender did to make his little lake look so good, me, everything is "tile squared".
but GW set can certainly get some pools.

Post by: Abandoned on May 05, 2017, 08:18:16 PM
LOL Yes I see you are joking.  Thank you for quick reply. 

Regarding Choo Choo, I thought you updated it to 1.0.7 when you added the training camp resource and updated training camp.  That is good to know. I don't know if I would use both together so if it is not too much trouble, yes please the tunnel separate.

The old hunting lodge with residence is the one I have and use in old tool bar, it is the other one, the new log hunting cabin that I would like separate. Is that the one in link? Sorry if I wasn't real clear.

The fish pond is the stand alone pond that is so pretty with the f-key variant with or without fence that is in Medieval Town v 2.0.4, still planning a story for that mod but I would like the pond separate to use much more often.  When you get to, know you are busy,  you know I will remind you.  :)

I like @elemental suggestion to add pond to Garden Wall Set.  I can't keep up trying so any new mods, still working on old ones.

Thank you so much, Red.

Thank you @RedKetchup , I got all excited then :)  At least it's somewhere on a to-do :D  The mod is really coming along, and is looking very fine tuned!!  I think you're on a winner with this mod.  I like the blue arrows, that's extremely helpful when planning out a complex design system.

@elemental I like that idea, with the rectangular setting, you could do a nice paved courtyard with that.  :D  I know @RedKetchup said he wasn't good with the softer corners, so this should be an easy one ;)  maybe.  I'm excited by what this could mean.  :D

my mods are always stand-alone and it is never required to have another mod to be used. choochoo alone is a full 100% standalone mod that can be used alone. i always put a copy of all resources in case people dont use the other mods.
i can make you a stand alone tunnel deco, tonight or tomm. i ll place it at the end of road toolbar after the road tunnel.

the best way to find a mod what it does is download it and try it ^^
this is a copy of the other mod, on another name.pkm where it has old hunter hut and its residence, and the new hunter hut (all 3) all placed in the food toolbar instead.

you didnt answered about real water of the pond : old water ? new moving water ? or hybrid (both) ?

random. i always prefered random so i discover something new when i replay.
i also love to so all buildings and resources being garded by an appropriated level. a lvl 1 building by a lvl 1 monster.... building 2 by monsters 2 ....
i also like to have my frontier (all colors frontiers) guarded by a lvl 7


too bad i dont have any of my maps anymore (lost in old computers and old unreadable cd) i would have introduced you the way i played this game ^^

Yes, all expansions for Heroes IV complete.  I played that heroes from when it first came out, it was only years later I got heroes 3, then I could see why most people did not like heroes 4 as well.  I made lots of maps and campaigns, mostly allied that my husband and I play together.

Heroes 3 I like the Rampart nature people, the fortress lizard people, and Tower wizards best but played all the campaigns and some random maps too.  Both really good old games.  :) 

Also played the Might & Magic RPG's more than once   :)

I have a great request if you can add a frog is my dream. Maybe you do not have the code on the frog's thighs, because it's only in CC, but maybe @kralyerg will be polite and give you this code. You are very busy, but I wrote about this proposal by adding frogs to the pond on page 19 quoted "@RedKetchup". NMT "- works great with 1.0.7 fish pond can be a separate modem - a good idea", I thought frogs would be nice to have. Your health! "I will be happy if you can fulfill my wish V2 + Frog legs by fisherman or the second variant of fishing in the pond: frogs, turtles, snails + new profession?

@RedKetchup I grabbed this last night, will look at it today, hopefully.
Do you want me to add it to the database as an independent mod, for general information, or will you want it only as a 'per request', meaning someone needs to ask for it?

If it has it's own forum post I will link the details to that.  I haven't checked the downloads section yet, so this post may be irrelevant ....
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: RedKetchup on May 06, 2017, 10:38:07 PM
i often do per request these little special things and i dont necessairly post them in the download section.
the person who asked was here and knows it.... all the other people, if they follow, they saw it :)
and if they dont follow... too bad for them ^^

the NMT30 Pond will be in a bigger part (NMT3.0 Series: Food Production.)
i dont find it very overpowered when you compare to vanilla fishing hut well placed (those can get 3X the Pond's production)

i will not add to it (about frogs and ect...) maybe for the GW:Ponds, but will see.

I just look at your fishpond and you are right; it's not overpowered at all. I'm sorry. I can remember, that I have had ponds with 4 fisher with an output of 2000 and more. It was some time ago, so it must have been an earlier version! I apologize again!

about the cultural theme, people generally asked for an "asian" theme which regroup japanese, chinese, and other asian country... because for north american, i cannot really make a difference. people from these country seems to take it seriously and be angry if i take something that is maybe chinese rather than japanese and i call it japanese... canadian... american... we are different, but none would get upset if we mislead to say thats canadian or thats american.
but for asian people, it seems to upset them. i dunno , i can feel there are some conflicts that are very strong.
so people told me that if i was about to put some "mixed" culture.... to call it "asian" instead of "japanese" or "chinese" for not making cultural people angry.


about Egyptian. there is something in progress but it doesnt go fast due to the lack of "model" and inspirations. we have no idea if one day it will finally happend.

The difference is that Canadians and Americans didn't go to war with each other causing 20 million deaths and a long legacy of mutual distrust.

Have you looked at the Pharaoh/Cleopatra games or Children of the Nile? There's some great looking buildings in Pharaoh especially that you can work off of.

yeah those game are very very old and graphics not really good (old)
Caesar IV graphics and engine was alot better and more recent (was done couple years later), unfortunatly, they never remade a better looking pharaoh2 or nile2 with that engine.

if you have a more recent egyptian game to propose....

it will be done when i ll go update Garden Walls :) (i'll do ponds and fountains , and also put the flowers in deco :) oh and also have new horses from @elemental without saddles ^^)

Are the horses without saddles going in the garden walls mod or in a separate decorative items mod? They'd fit best in the same mod as the stables but maybe they could go in both. People will want to use them, with or without the GW mod.  :)

Paddlesteamers can :)  They are counterbalanced, they can then have the wheel sitting out from the body moving along :)

In saying that though @Gatherer , I saw these and wanted to share, as inspiration :)

just let you know i ve been back to moddling today, made 5hrs.

even if i ve got a very fast preview of what the watermill was about to look in the canals.... i ve got alot to do to making it ok.
since the watermill wasnt exactly made for that , i ve got to redoing it. and i took that opportunity to redo all the walls and pieces...
i kept the exact same look though ^^

i finished the 4X one (with its build01-02, digging and walking floors) should be fairly easy to do the 6x and 8x after.
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: RedKetchup on May 15, 2017, 07:47:35 AM
all 4x Mills done :)

classic bricks with water to the left and water to the right
old bricks (CC style) with water to the left and water to the right

now going for the 6x. i hope there isnt too much pain to adapt those.
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....

Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: RedKetchup on May 15, 2017, 10:21:46 AM

only left to do is : fixing my footprints, making their own icons...

So i am re doing them from begining as discuted there : http://worldofbanished.com/index.php?topic=1723.msg33982#msg33982 (http://worldofbanished.com/index.php?topic=1723.msg33982#msg33982)

Hopefully we will get a fix for old video cards by the time i do them.


1. Better matching pattern between pieces,
2. optimized poly counts,
3. almost no more very bad moiré casted by shadows at surface on horizontal planes,
4. new shadows casted on the underwater walls,
5. better management of the graphic files allowing faster alternate textures,
6. get rid of thousand of unecessary files,
7. level of water will be raised of 2 stone rows to better match river and lake flows,
8. and with .pkm size lowered, i will offer more texture sets for hopefully same .pkm size :)
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: despo_20 on May 19, 2017, 01:01:52 AM
Yeah! Great improvements!

How did you remove the moiré? I have this problem with the horizontal wooden planks...

a good part of the problem is having another texture just under too near of the top one. need to give more space between or delete the hidden plane

like example, if you do a box of 1x1x1 high there will mostly no moiré if you compare a 1x1x0,01 high (which will be terrible)

look at screenshots. in the first, you see the awning that is very thin and you see the moiré
in the second screen you see i put the awning alot more thicker, and you dont see almost any moiré
(i took the lower side and put it down a bit, making the awning more thicker. more distance , more space, between the side on top and the side at bottom)

yeah specially thin things which are horizontally and make sure there isnt another horizontal thing too near just under.

like a floor : if too thin... or too near for the ground (which is also a texture) some of the shadows pixels are passing through

meanwhile waiting if @Bartender  can find a solution for the AMD users......

i didnt made any progress "3D drawing" ... but i did sit down and tried to work with my brain ^^
and i worked on my future code :)

not only i know i will save 90% minus of the number of polycounts in the 3D... get rid of all the stupid "moiré" .....
i wanted also to get rid of thousands of files.... if i can ^^


so... after a 3-4 hrs of hard work ^^ (brain + keyboard/mouse lol)...
my folder that contain all my canals parts in 2 textures.... /Canals/  will pass from : 2782 files to 1143 files :)

not only it is roughly 40% for 2 textures......
but also all the files are made for 8 textures !!!  :o

lol yes 8 different textures ^^ (and they are already chosen and rdy to to be used)

;D  :o   

::)

in the picture : the first 4 are the NMT textures.( 2 first are the canals, the last 2 are the upgraded housing. they also looks great in canal ^^)
the next 2 (on bottom row) are those from GardenWalls :)
and the 2 very last are new : a very dark rotten stone.... and a wood one. :)

it will be super easy to just switch a name once the pieces built. a simple copy paste of the name of the textures.

Very nice work. I really feel, it's time to play a game building canals again. I have some small thoughts. We have a famous canal not far away (It connects the east and west coast of Sweden), named Göta Kanal. Most of it doesn't look like any of your models. It's much more simple. Of cause; areas with harbors, locks, sluice and so on lock very much like your models but I would very much like one more "nature " looking, like my first picture. The second picture is a painting from the festive opening of the canal in 1832. This location looks very much like one of your models. :)

the 2nd picture make me think the classic stone texture :)

@QueryEverything 

i ve look all your links ... but i didnt found anything exceptionnal i should add to the set, unfortunately. nothing that told me : "Hey! i need absolutely need to add this, this is too cool ...."


presently, re designing the bridge... in the past that was like 4 diff rotating mesh ... stone and stone guards.. wood and wood guards... stone and wood guards.. wood and stone guards ... lol

there will be only 1 design now.... the screenshot. cause i need to make sure it match with all the different stone/bricks textures ( 8 )



EDIT: the wood one looks very very cool :) (screen2)

bricks model will cost bricks to make :)

stone will cost stones....
and wood will cost you wood ^^
:P

Classic , OldBricks(CC), OldChurch and DarkStones = stone cost
RedBricks, SandStones, and FireBricks = brick cost
OldWood = wood cost
I will probably just rename the "visual names" OldBricks to OldStones and SandStones to SandBricks for less confusions :)

but ... i just lowered the water :S with straight cornes 3 way bridge it was looking fine ... but the docks and fishing docks took a big hit. it is really not like before :( so i lowered 1 stone row back down.

@RedKetchup this update has certainly been a big challenge for you, I am sure you will succeed getting the docks to work the way you would like.  I am enjoying using the other part of NMT, really great set and goes beautifully with the North.  I will leave canal building for another time.  :)

yeah , after i finished the 4x sets ... i really need to go in the other part of NMT and pull out the Housing part and release it as stand alone. so people can use it ^^

meanwhile i just finished the docks, next is fishing docks.
(and still have the TP and Mills after for 4x) oh wait ... the new gates too.
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: RedKetchup on May 26, 2017, 12:16:27 PM
so this is what i imagined for the gate :)

a 4x4 mesh with 2 gates each end. the water will be just 0,01' on top of the river water, there is 2 stands with buckets which bannies will use to make the level of water up and down to match the canals and river ^^

i made a primitive system that could be used back in ancient time like from the egyptian irrigations since i dont see modern water pumps in that ^^
of course bannies wont really work at this but it is a "virtual concept" hehe

Ouch. Emptying or filling that thing looks like it would be lots of back-breaking hard work. I wonder how long it would take (just out of curiosity).

surely long ^^ specially cause i doubt the cage is waterproof ^^

wow, that new canal system is going to be great. 

Not to interrupt work on canal, but when you get to the rest of NMT I have problem with Old Salty.  I have the salt mine built right next to it, salt gets delivered to the bakery but the worker takes salt to old salty but doesn't leave it there, just takes it back to the storage shed.  I have NMT after the North in the mod list but if salt works for bakery I would think it would work with Old Salty.  I will remind you when you get to the rest of NMT.  :)

Chere espece Mr. @RedKetchup , I had a thought about the NMT houses which I really like except for one thing.  I don't like upgrading houses or buildings because I like the way they look to begin with especially with surrounding buildings built to look good together. I don't much like when I check inside for the family or inventory to see a row of house pictures.  I know others do like that, I am not asking for it to be changed, but I don't like missing out on building those great looking upgrades either.  Is there any chance that those upgrade textures could be made into a basic house with those building requirements, S'il vous plait  :)

@Abandoned  yeah i know there is alot of work about this huge NMT mod  :-X

things arent going fast unfortunately. thats something we only know when you are editing/creating 3D. only on the TP yesterday i ve passed 14 hrs no coffee break.


at least now the 4X is completed....
i need to finish the code so all the 8 textures are loading.

And I agree. So much time it can cost to 3d model and do the coding.

I had last two weeks a bit of a burnout because of some stuff I can't figure out (Sent you a PM about it Red) and just needed a break I guess  but I am about ready to pick it up again :)

man, sometimes when we are very tired and nothing seems to work correctly .... you need to close everything and do a break and enjoy doing something else like watch movie or tvshows... or play something else.
let time pass and let your subconsious analyse the situation and come up with a solution. thats what i do.

@embx61 I always know when hubby is about to burn out, the kitchen is cleaned (top to floorboards, I caught him literally ripping up the kitchen floor one day), furniture is getting moved.  I go to bed with the house one way, then I need an exorcist ;)  Damn things move in the night.  Hahaha.

The problem is then we end up with half finished projects, work & home wise, and a burnt out shaking husk of a man. 
We have over half a dozen of unfinished models, and guages, and files strewn over a bunch of harddrives, and not enough of 1 to release.  We need to bring in someone else, but it's hard to find someone who loves aircraft and modelling/coding.

@RedKetchup thank goodness for Netflix here :)  I was about to lose my storage to DVD & XBox games!  We have so many, now at least I can keep the clutter down and don't need to worry about where I'm going to store things.
Between Steam & Netflix, I may get my bookshelves back for books.  Although, I haven't bought a hard copy in years, damn George still hasn't released his next book ;) 
My eclectic tastes are more on digital now anyway, the writers I do follow release in both formats, and unless it's a collection I've been building for years, then I now get most on digital, especially with the amount of time I spend in front of a screen. :D

I'm in such a phase right now - playing Fallout2, go biking, groom the 107 download list, pimp my browser, go bike some more... anything but playing Banished... and I do some part-time work for a few hours every week, restaurating old broken wooden toys, that's a nice change of pace...   :D


Anyway - I can feel the urge to start a new town with a fresh mod selection sneaking up on me...  ;)

i am very impressed by some of the textures :)
i wish so bad if i could look alot more closer ^^

Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: QueryEverything on May 29, 2017, 11:21:59 PM
I really am liking the look of them @RedKetchup what a fabulous 'WIP' teaser :D

1)  Are the buildings mix n match to the sidewalks & canal textures?  (Brick canal, wood building etc)
A couple of them in these shots (may be different after tweaking them) are looking a little dark, and a bit overpowering, needing a bit of lightness maybe?  Or, a mix of texture finishes to them (say, the brick ones, have the upper half of the building a different texure (light colours)), something to just tweak how it looks.
I do like the look of the buildings, but the definition in them does get a bit lost with brick-on-brick etc
(That's not a mean criticism in anyway - I really like how this set is working out & want to see the definition in the buildings :D )

2)  Who knows, with all the code breaking developments you have all been having, one (or more ;) ) may be able to figure out an override for the camera, and we can all have happy closeups :)

3)  I am digging your UI :D  But I said that in the other thread ;)

Post by: RedKetchup on May 29, 2017, 11:48:50 PM
yeah i know some are dark... specially the dark stones ^^
but you will get used to it and the darkstones look awesome in winters :)


i can maybe put the darkones building with the other texture i used with the one in wood :)

the bricks always been that way since day 1 of the work of nmt 0.1 ^^ i only reworked the 2x4 tiles texture by using "flip horizontal" for the last 2x2 creating the corner effects.

so i heard you guys... in simple couple of clicks, i could just put another texture for the buildings of darkstones (TP and Mill). i ve put the same as i used for the wood canal's buildings :)
which came from the old chapel/church of CC

i agree. i looks better.

i also fixed couple of bugs that i saw....
1. missing smoke point for mill chimney.
2. missing create spots for the fishies in fishing docks.
3. fishermen werent facing the good direction.
4. changed the letters of the icons of OldStones and SandBricks.
5. the footprint arrow beneath the bridge was still showing.
6. the "filler" piece didnt had his water at good level (-0.96).
7. fixed the flickering when 2 canals were overlaping from changing/adding new directions (3way,4way,corner)

there is probably more.... but it will be at people telling me those ^^

When I saw the preview of the dark stone canals in your 3D modeling software I thought Ouch... that's dark. But it looks so much better in the game. And I agree with you, it looks even better with the church stone buildings.

I'll be using this but I'm happy to wait if it makes life easier for you.  :)

Post by: QueryEverything on May 30, 2017, 04:12:29 PM
That is fantastic what you've been able to do in such a short time :)  They look fantastic @RedKetchup :D
And thank you for taking another look at the textures, for me it was just a case that in the screens I wasn't seeing the 'building definition', there was no light & shade, which was such a shame to not see the work involved. 
I'm an old Goth from way back and I love dark on dark, but even I found it a little difficult to make out the refineries in the work, and I can only imagine someone else whose monitor may have a darker resolution etc.
So, please know I wasn't being mean, I hope it didn't come across that way.  :)

When you're ready to release ;)  We can have now - or if you want to wait, download button finger will wait :D

for sure you cannot use the dark texture on a desert sand map ! it will look unearthly ^^

Post by: RedKetchup on May 30, 2017, 10:47:30 PM
by the way ... i didnt see any anwsers about if people want the 4x now or wait the 6x 8x ^^

so ... i started the 6x 8x ... then i ll wait when those will be done :P got no answers :P


but the good news.... i already done : 6x 8x straights, 6x 8x fillers, 6x 8x docks, 6x 8x fishing docks, 6x 8x trading posts, 6x 8x watermills, 6x 8x 4-way :)

left to do : 3way, corner, end, bridge, and gate :)
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: RedKetchup on May 31, 2017, 02:42:52 PM
so i was working on the bridge to extend it to 6x and 8x   :-[

note about bridges and whats left to do ... it is more complicated. it is not just push things 1 tile away and fill with water lol
but it has part that still need to reach the other side, the 2 sides, and it asks me to modify them.

bridges are ones of them.


6x : no problem, i scaled it 150%, fixed a bit the texture here and there cause bricks sizes got also a 150% boost ... ^^ i still did it quick.

the 8 x was different. in fact 8x is 2 times 4x :) so i thought i would just place 2 bridges at the end of other and the total of 2x X 4x would give 8x ^^
but i had to make some filling pieces to not have a down curve in middle and going back up  :P (screen 1 and 2)
a bridge to bridge the two bridges lol

once done ... i was wondering IF i would have just took the bridge and make it 200% bigger ? of course the bricks got 200% bigger too that i ve got to fix. (screen3)

so now i have 2 different style lol
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: QueryEverything on May 31, 2017, 06:21:01 PM
I answered ;)  @RedKetchup :)
I said I'd be happy to have them either now, or when they're all done :)  I'm nearly finished destroying my current map, so will be looking to add to it.  It's a 'debug' map, so quick build and run type things at the moment. 
My gosh, I do love the city build aspect of it all when debug is running.  But, then I have to go back to 'walkthru' mode, and then I start again, new map, old school (but modded).

So, when you're ready :D

Post by: RedKetchup on June 01, 2017, 06:21:26 AM

since you started the water idea, can a building be made to pump useable water out away from the stream? i have seena couple maps where it made sence to dig a ditch or something to collect water instead of digging down. Ds has a nice water wheel water pump but it puts the water in a storage tank.
be nice to have a similar pump but to be able to move the colect point away from the river a ways.
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: kid1293 on June 01, 2017, 10:44:26 AM
Should not be impossible.
You have vanilla nomads. Only coming if you have a trading post and a market.

Make a water deposit. Only buildable if you have a pump station.

Post by: RedKetchup on June 01, 2017, 11:00:04 AM
i am not sure. a canal and river are 2 things very different in water quality. i dont see anybody drinking this water. and it is even the opposite, instead to take water.... it gets all the used water from civilization ^^

i should have made pieces with an hole and iron bars , and with used water that fall into the canals lol. but i understand your idea :)

maybe if i put the "ceasar" "roman" meshes into game.... i should do a water pomp and make roman canal that bring waters :)

Possibly have the little water inlets, the hidden water ways, running into the canal, then have off to the side, a set of pieces, a runoff and settlement area, then a 3rd component, a water recycle station (think eco recycle, fish ponds & grasses etc), then followed by the clean water reserve which has the clean water, a collection point and storage facility.

There would be a few components to it, but it would turn the canal sewerage issue, into clean, eco friendly water that could then be used inturn by the irrigation system that Embx has designed as well.  :D

That's a rather large project though, and it might not even tickle your enthusiasm @RedKetchup  , but it's an idea :D 
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: RedKetchup on June 02, 2017, 12:58:00 PM
the only thing i thought to add at some point... was a little hole with used water flowing it back in the canal :)
when i say used.... it is not from toilets lol ^^ but from maybe fountains and washing places ^^


working presently on the 3ways (6x 8x) ... after only piece left to do are the corners (6x 8x)
i will maybe add one more piece to the set ... i let no hints though yet ^^
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: elemental on June 02, 2017, 03:50:32 PM
A couple of suggestions...

A little triangular piece of wall (half of one tile) would be very useful. If you have two pieces of straight canal that are out of alignment by 1 tile the triangular wall filler could join them up. It would more or less allow us to make diagonal canals (sort of).

Something that looks good when you build a canal over the top of a small stream would also be useful. A culvert or something like that. It doesn't really make real-world sense but it would still look better than just having the stream run straight into and out of the canal wall.

Actually, if a culvert piece could be built a couple of tiles away from the canal (a completely separate piece, not part of the canal walls) it would be even better. It could be used on any small stream, not just near canals. It would let you raise a section of stream bed to ground level so you can build on it, and it would look like the stream is still flowing underneath.

@RedKetchup just call me sleepy, but ... just checking for the ChooChod mod updates etc ...
I have it in MM 0.07, and it's showing as listed ChooChoo v2

I just want to make sure that the MM v2, is the same as the one here, and if not - that there wouldn't be any problem loading the newer version from here, over the top of MM ?!?

I started to build my new mining district with the pieces when I realised that there may have been upgrades etc since you sent it over to MM.  :)

well i just saw the 6x and 8x in game....
:'(  :'(  :'( alot of modification i need to do. will take me all tomorrow day for those fixes.

some pieces doesnt have the right level of water (6x 8x bridges, 6x 8x corners, 6x 8x ends)
some pieces the digging is not right and should 1 or 2 tiles away (6x 8x mills, 6x 8x trading posts)

ALL 6x 8x pieces need to dig further down, we see the blue arrow through the water.


still alot of work awaiting me on this.
oh and also , i still need to do the jokers 4>6 , 6>8 , 4>8 ?




EDIT: all pieces fixed :) just need to do the 2 jokers :)

thats an utility toolbar i am making for myself first (not finished yet) and will offer it to people once i ll be satisfied of it.

it is meant to be an utility window that takes less space possible, while holding all the utilities and extra infos.

@RedKetchup
You are a great man, the vegetables are great, I have a request if you can add blueberry and soybeans. Soya as vegetable oil. I asked @ embx61 to add vegetable oil to "EBOil Press but I do not know if it will add." I see that he has trouble with mods "Unified Mod" and is very frustrated
I also suffered a disaster with a small " Bakery ' unfortunately "Bakery plus" does not work without CC are displayed only products and the baker does not produce them outside the bread. The Bakery is old with 13th October 2015 -     I regret. I have a question if you still add some vegetables? I dream of a "berry garden" would like to have in one place have : blackberry, blueberry, cranberry, gooseberry, wild strawberry, currant like the "Vegetable Garden" mod by @ kid 1293 and fruit squeezer = juice. Is it possible my project to implement? How about blueberry in the field and not chasing and collecting in the woods? - Fast production - Yogurt [Milk + Berries ]
Second idea - add blackberry, blueberry, cranberry ,raspberry ,strawberry e.t.c  in the field ? Lentils , rice also? Cheers !               
I admire you for such a dedication I was waiting for the actulization of plants  :) OK

i am presently processing a list of vegetable/fruit i have listed in a text. they are from a very old mod from Kralyerg
https://banishedinfo.com/mods/view/662-Lots-Of-Seeds (https://banishedinfo.com/mods/view/662-Lots-Of-Seeds)
Kral doesnt have any skill in 3D and as he stated, he didnt made any new graphic to those. so i am doing it. later if he wants, he will be able to update it :)

@ Taniu : this NMT3.0Series: Food is about food only. i dont even include cotton or hops, or any non-food items. some berries will be included for sure, but not all.

Maybe some way to introduce "bush crops", that need a gatherer to get, plant rows of bushes, and they grow wild as well. Then we can have natural blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, etc. Just a thought. Not sure if it is do-able.

Small bush orchards for berries is a berry good great idea.  :)
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: elemental on June 15, 2017, 05:25:49 PM
If you do make berry bushes as orchard plants it might be a good idea to make them fruit quicker than normal fruit trees. Usually it takes 4 years before orchard trees give fruit. That seems like a bit too long for a berry bush. Maybe one or two growing years instead? But is it possible to have bushes fruit sooner than trees? Or do they all have to be the same?

i never made any orchard so far but yeah , probably it is possible to do something :)

you have alot really alot of flowers :)
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: RedKetchup on June 15, 2017, 11:01:48 PM
so i am checking about to make a Blueberry for Orchards :)

a thing i didnt thought before is the amount of fruits per drop is really not the same as crop and more important as wild gathering.

there will be 50-65 apples or cherries per drop while a crop food is 20-28 and a wild food is 16-22. if i put 50-65 blueberry, the wild blueberry will also be multiplied by 3  ???

so i am checking different options :)

- or i do a "new" blueberry that will look as same name but wont be the same one so you would end up with 2 blueberries in your barns.....
- or i do a crop with it, not orchard.

- or i try to get a new "special" orchard for those with a blueberry bush in every tiles which can give up 2000 food per year for a 15x15
- - - if i go for 3rd option, i need to try to find a way to get only have my special food in my special orchard, and not have pear/apple :P (and not get my special food in the standard orchard.) :P :P

Great screenshot @Nilla
Looks pretty natural to me.

Is it that the flowers spawn that way or do you use some ghosted items?

I think it is a spawn as Red's Canals 4x4 mesh is 4x6 but in the Template file 4x4 so big part of the wooden side walkways are just overhangs and so the game sees them as not build upon so can use them to spawn.
Am I correct in that assumption Red?
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: twilightbreeze on June 16, 2017, 12:22:09 AM
Well, to avoid a duplicate of names, use a new one. How about Razzleberry? or Chokecherry? or Redberry? And etc and so on. That way, no dupes.

You could also use real berry names that aren't in Banished, like Loganberry, Marionberry, Boysenberry, etc.

the flowers are 1x1 but ghosted 3x3 to give a special effect to cover graphically more space. the canal too are 4x4 but graphically are 6x4 with 1 tile each side ghosted to cover the hole :0

even if you see the flower on the wood, in reality, you can have eacily 2 empty tiles between ^^
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: embx61 on June 16, 2017, 02:17:40 AM
Yeah, so I was right for a change :)

That also means players can just build a road underneath the "ghosted" sidewalks without you having to define it in the template files. It will not be a visible road as your wood is a bit higher then z0 and slopes down to z0 at the end but functional to gain the speed of the roads.

Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: RedKetchup on June 16, 2017, 02:30:48 AM
i did it exactly for that, to cover 1 more tile for a road without define it in the template :)
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: Nilla on June 16, 2017, 03:18:50 AM
I ususally built roads on that spot in the old version of the canal. It's nice to have people walking there. And on this screenshot, you can see, that everything can be on that spot. I deliberately didn't remove the trees and the stones, maybe I will later, but i like how the grass and the flowers grows on the walls of the canal, so I will not build any road this time. You may also see, that I'm trying to save the gate. It doesn't look good there, so first I wanted to demolish it. But instead I will try to cover the part that's too long with buildings, like @Necora´s red store. We'll see what comes on the other side and if it works out.

This "flower effect" is a"mistake". I find, it's a pretty pretty mistake. I don't plant or do anything to get all those flowers and grass everywhere. They are there, because I use the Garden Walls utility above an old version of NatDiv. I would like, that this could be an option to choose. Couldn't you @RedKetchup and @Bartender put your clever heads together and create something? A Flower World or something like that?

Sorry forgot the picture.
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: embx61 on June 16, 2017, 03:46:40 AM
@Nilla

Yes, that is what I suspected that they just spawn and Red confirmed it.
It still looks awesome though. I see if I can make those flowers and grasses from Red ghosted for the Natural Irrigation channels when I am ready to pick that up again.

So much to do, so less time.
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: taniu on June 16, 2017, 04:43:15 AM
@ RedKetchup .I agree with you. New "special" - Small bush orchards for berries - these bushes grow as wild but grow in the garden - orchards. The bushes of these fruits are similar, only fruits have a different shape. Wild strawberries look like small strawberries. I had them in the garden, they are very sweet.  Examples
raspberry ,blackberry ,blueberry, bilberry, cranberry, gooseberry, wild strawberry, currant :)

Post by: Abandoned on June 16, 2017, 06:44:59 AM
Well, these vegetable crops and berry orchards look great @RedKetchup . I like twilightbreeze's suggested berry names.  As far as I know, cranberries grow in bogs not a crop field. Only thing maybe could be different is the radish crop.  Normally radish are plant in rows like carrots not in bunches.  If not spaced and thinned they don't all develop a nice round radish, although my favorite variety is the French Breakfast Radish which is longer and thinner than regular round radish. Great looking veggies.  :)

Do I understand correct @embx61 that natural canal will include ghosted Red's wildflowers.  That would be wonderful.  :)

Post by: RedKetchup on June 16, 2017, 01:35:30 PM
i really like the "bush orchards" but cannot prevent people trying to put trees in there. the only thing i can do is to put a TEXT: Warning, do not put fruit tree here. because they wont able to get the food from the orchard. only my fruit bushes can work.

i can also put a warning on the vanilla one telling people to not put fruit bushes in there cause they will get almost nothing. the numbers are ok for bushes in bush orchards , even just a little bit better that a crop of same size. need more people working on those though.

and i can do many bushes, not just 1. and i can also maybe put the strawberry in it ?
my plan was to add : blueberry, raspberry, grapes. and maybe cranberry but not more. all the others worth nothing, even the big grocery stores dont have them ^^

but mostly if i want to do it like this ... this is because i really love what i see when i look at it :)
i always prefer to do the things i like :)

  do the grapes and berries work as the crops now? the fruits work in our taverns ?
  i wish we had a fruit set similar to KID's veggy garden but round like the fodder instead of square. in some towns it would make sence to have a worker that can pick fruits from bushes and trees that decorate yards.historically,people did that. they had an apple or pear tree in their yards and on the edge of lawns berry shurbs.we can add them as decoration but not functioning.

no they work in a modified version of orchard. yes they will work in the taverns. the difference about crop and orchard: they stay there graphically which is a must visually. they also swing with the wind, change color, and lose their leaves in winter. and i think they look nice :)
a crop , only thing you see, is a mini disproportionate version, large, with no height, and then when they are fully grown, and have their graphic 100%  ==> they are cut and nothing is left on the field.

The last one doesn't look too bad. But perhaps you should make the wooden support structures as ghost deco. That might make it easier to get the effect you are looking for.

Vine trunks aren't like trees, they're thin, bush like and the trunks are short.   Also, they're flat against the training wires.    Just set the (x, y ?) to about 40% so it flattens, slice the trunk into pieces and distort it.

Yours look good, they're just not the shape of trained grape vines.

Some quay pieces would be great too. By that I mean a set of blocks similar to the sides of your canals. These would make it easier to join up canals with rivers and lakes. Plus we could also use them to tidy up shorelines in built-up areas.  :)

You use the same textures as the Canals.

Do you rename those textures for this mod or will the game recognize the name from another mod (If also loaded) and just load the texture once?

So your Canals and the walls loaded together just use 1 time the same texture instead of 2 times.

I believe it will recognize it and only load it once but I want to be sure.

yup these are exactly a copy of all my textures from Canal system. an exact copy with same pixels, same names, same .rsc files.

it will of course be loaded only once in the mod list. no need to take up memory locations for those :)

(http://worldofbanished.com/gallery/37_30_06_17_10_19_54.jpeg)

This mod add very basic sets of stone walls in 9 different textures used NMT3.1 Canal System.

Each set has 4 pieces : Straight, 4Way, 3Way and Corner. Not even need an End piece because the pieces are very well finished.
You can use Gates from other mods to put doors (like White Fence Set). It is also compatible with GardenWalls and fit very well as an extension of those fence/walls.

This mod Also adds bricks and some of the stone walls will use bricks instead of regular stones. (One model will also use wood instead)

Enjoy !

so i am back to NMT3.0Series: Food


i finally decided, after 2 weeks lol of thinking about it and what i ll do ..... :P

i decided to give up of the dense orchard named "Field"
and let everything going to the standart Orchard  :(

i ve got to change numbers though. Usually the orchard produce between 50-65 fruit. Wild gathering between 16-22 :S
so i decided to simply change the numbers around and give 36-48 to blueberry and raspberry.

yes wild blueberries by gatherer will produce more  :-X
the Orchard blueberries will produce less than apple in orchard setup but i made them give fruit almost right away the following year instead waiting 3 years an orchard produce.
the extras of first years will maybe compensate giving food very more quickly. also same apply during an orchard life, some are cut and reseed... there too it will produce back faster after reseed.

same for raspberry.

-------------

i redid also the grape trees. i know it wont be perfect..... but i ll keep it as i made it at last. (screenshot 1) they will give 50-65 as regular orchard fruit trees.

i also did the Coconut trees ^^ lol in game they are gorgeous^^ (screenshot 2)

I like the idea of a large greenhouse for tropical trees very much.  :)  Growing tropical fruit in the snow just isn't realistic at all. I know many players won't care and I know not all maps have snow, but most maps do.

I don't know if you are planning to pre-fill your large greenhouse with plants/trees the way Red has has pre-filled his greenhouses, but I would really like to see an empty greenhouse plus a set of ghost plants so we can fill it ourselves. That way each greenhouse can look different, rather than all of them looking the same. It also lets you match the plants inside to the crops that the greenhouse is producing. Just an idea for you to consider.  :)
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: embx61 on July 05, 2017, 04:03:03 PM
Excellent idea @elemental

Just make them all ghosted and with some luck some other mods can just be used as well. For example Kids Deco Pack what fit my Irrigation Channels pretty well and save me a helluvah lot of time not having to create a whole bunch of scrubs.
Why reinvent the wheel when the stuff is already out there?

This saves on poly's too. The modder can just mod a empty greenhouse and be done with it. LOL
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: elemental on July 05, 2017, 04:20:57 PM
CC has a few tropical ghost trees and plants already. Plus Kid has some very tropical-looking ghost plants, too. If it's a huge greenhouse then we should be able to fit some trees in, no problem. Even if it's just in the centre, which leaves room for smaller deco plants around the edges.

@RedKetchup loving the orchard ideas :)

Ahhh coconuts, some synergy there :)  Watched Kickboxer: Vengeance last night (must say though, as an aside, Dave Bautista doesn't do any justice to himself as a baddie :( , but lordy lordy lordy, Jean-Claude ... 56 and still ...  oh my), and there are a couple of coconut references in it.   JCVD quietly chanting coconut will forever visit me in my sleep ;)

Please, (in my best "Oliver" voice may we have some more? Decorations that is, a ghosted coconut decorated like 'Wilson' (a la Tom Hanks' friend from Castaway, or as the coconut from KB:V, that was a hoot!!) or a swinging disembodied head?  ;)  The rest of my kickboxer DVD's are on the next shipment over on the next trip, hahaha!!

I like the idea of the empty greenhouse @elemental & @embx61 , it's why I was thrilled when @kid1293 bucked conformity and gutted the tailor/blacksmith from the rowhouses and created 'shelter' from them, players were then able to go and add their own designs to the buildings - definitely could see the same here.  The mod can come in 2 parts - the functional, being the greenhouse and it's production, and the design, with the ghosted decorations - and if they are coded/modelled in the same settings as how EB needs them, then they too can be used with his irrigation channels :)
Win/Win :D

Now, back to these coconuts - now, @RedKetchup you can't do Coconuts without Lime ;)
Any little witchling learns that, the first day on the job ;) :D

Post by: RedKetchup on July 05, 2017, 09:36:46 PM
wow there were alot and alot of replys when i was sleeping lol

essentially :

no there will be no more wood support. it doesnt worked well cause the game turn around the mesh without any control.
yes coconut trees and look weird in snow... but like you said , not all maps have snow. and i made them grow in the 70s degrees and not too much down. it will certainly be kinda a bit bad in cooler environment.

and yes , the next in my list are :
Lemon
Mango
Orange
Pineapple
Apricot

i guess i can add lime to it ... oh also i want kiwis. (here in quebec, canada  we have kiwis. it is growing very nicely in our country)

That looks like a really good list of fruits, they are common fruits and can be used in different recipes in the future, by different buildings :)

Yes, Lime is a good addition ;)  Goes with the Lemon, quite a lot actually.

Kiwis are very popular over here too in Australia, you're in good company.    They go well on pavlovas, yum yum yum!!  (Often with passionfruit, but berries in this picture).

to have vegts and fruits doesnt matter at all about the final consommation products that we have in our  modern society. i will add some... but i cannot add the billion of recipes each country have. there are in million in australia, millions in canada, millions in germany, millions in dutch ground, million in usa, million in scandinavia.... and all these millions of each country have been never been heard in any other country. we still need to be realist. there are limits we kinda reach.

I'm just disappointed that there are no apricots on the list, though you said they can be made with peach - because they are similar fruit, or will you positively consider my request? Please . Bananas are a difficult object - "old mod " apple tree reminiscent?

@ RedKetchup.  :)The vegetables and orchard projects are very nice. As for the old mods "Losts of Seeds", it was 2014 before the release of CC. I do not criticize this Kralyerg mod, now it is 3D graphics. Personally I liked this mod and I played with it even "The North" did not look at graphic errors because I wanted watermelon or bananas. Personally, at the beginning, I also wanted to model plants, but duplicating hundreds of polygons is difficult. Unfortunately, my whole life is hard work, I had poor earnings, I know what poverty is, so often I ask to create mods - food. I have a question, can you release a single mod, eg Carrot? Or separately vegetables and orchard? Will there be only one big mod ? The player could have more choices of vegetables and trees he wants to have in the game but that was just my little note on the subject.Thank you and best regards

i do not plant to release each one as single mod ! i dont have to make 24 mods !
i can maybe specifically release one to someone in PM ... but i wouldnt do more than one.

they will all be together in a single mod about food.

When it comes to bananas "The North", this is just an example, I like to test a lot of different mods and try to play - it's just a test.

I like those tree trunks as they split out from the bottom.

Lot of times we see just a single trunk with some branches sticking out.

Great work on those trees.

I do just as Kid, if I ever need some I shamelessly "borr.... Euh.... Steal" them from you  :P  :D

I think your meshes are the best. I have a very high poly in mine.
My models are just to display a couple (in a greenhouse)
I can't use it on a field. The computer would barbeque...


Actually I didn't make a new mango. I realized that the tree I put
on the roof terrace of the tower houses had mango leaves.
Just a couple of fruits and it was done.

Sooooo ....  Tequila, Coconuts, Lime .... Mexican themed housing & bar ...  what are we missing?
We have glassware (thanks to @embx61 ) ...  Surely I can see Margaritas somewhere?  *nudges @kid1293 & @RedKetchup (possibly offers a chocolate, coffee bribe too) ;)


Seriously - can we at least consider, with these new fruits being made in these orchards, and the new divine Botanical Gardens, a new add-on co-op design, the "Juice Bar" or "Soothing Syrups" something like that?

@kid1293 & @RedKetchup can supply their new fruits, @embx61 supplies the glassware, @Necora the berries (helloooo cranberries  ), @tanypredator has the wild honey, and the honey is also in @Discrepancy  ...  and so on

I can create a separate topic as a request - but, I feel that people are going to be wary of this, it gloriousness shines so brightly, that perhaps it's too larger a project ... so for now ....

Put the lime in the coconut ... ;)

ps:  the new roads look great Red :D

NMT3.0Series: Crops for 1.0.6 - 1.0.7

i decided to release Crops alone and will do one for orchards.

http://worldofbanished.com/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=328 (http://worldofbanished.com/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=328)

(http://worldofbanished.com/gallery/37_09_07_17_9_09_00.jpeg)


This mod adds:

- a new crop texture.
- Barley : [CC] , grain
- Broccoli : [NEW] , vegetable
- Carrot : [NEW] , vegetable
- Cucumber : [NEW] , vegetable
- Kale : [NEW] , vegetable
- Lettuce : [SRS] , vegetable
- Pea : [NEW] , vegetable
- Radish : [NEW] , vegetable
- Sorghum : [CC] , grain
- Spinach : [NEW] , vegetable
- Strawberry : [NEW] , vegetable
- Tomato : [NEW] , vegetable
- Turnip : [NEW] , vegetable
- Watermelon : [CC] ,  vegetable


All new 3D designs out of the [CC] ones and the developper one [SRS].

Notes:
They will overwrite, so if you want to use my graphics, you need to put on top of your list.
My carrots are named "carrots" so i dont know about the "hornets".
Tomato is same as Ketchup Inc.
Sorghum, Barley, and Watermelon is an exact copy from CC Crew ones.
Lettuce from developper anymore and i fixed a bit the developper graphic which was alot too big and too large.
They all shall grow well, not like beans, but not that far. strawberries are usually a spring veg so they will spawn fast and grow fast

Post by: ancientmuse on July 09, 2017, 03:01:07 PM
@RedKetchup

Maybe this is a silly question but...

Are the strawberries and watermelons labelled as veggies just because of some kind of coding problem with fields vs orchards, and thus they can't be fruits because they're grown in the fields instead of the orchards ?  Is this a specialty Luke coding thing ?

Just curious.

.... but I suspect that I already answered my own question.

LOL

:P
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: RedKetchup on July 09, 2017, 03:15:53 PM
no. nothing to do with to be a crop

we also have veggies and grain as crop.
an old mod also put the blueberry in a crop, and still labelled as fruit.

but the game "mind settings" is we tend to put veggies and grain in a crop, fruit and nuts in an orchard :)
it is a mind perspective, the game doesnt care in reality :)
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: ancientmuse on July 09, 2017, 03:27:00 PM
Oh okay, now I understand.

So the bannies don't care if it's fruit or veggie with regards to food variations (health factor) ?

I'm not sure how the food categories/labels work when it comes to the bannie health meter, so that's why I asked.

I've never really been sure how all that worked, all I knew is that bannies needed food variety to keep their health up but I wasn't sure if it had to do with different food names (potato, cabbage, venison, etc) or if it had to do with different food types (meat, fruit, veggie, etc) ?
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: embx61 on July 09, 2017, 03:47:13 PM
The Bannies need all four food variations to stay in good health.
So Protein, Vegetable, Grain, and Fruit.
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: RedKetchup on July 09, 2017, 03:54:20 PM
oh ya, bannies need the 4 elements to stay healthy.

so they need some crops... needs some orchards... need some hunters .... and get also grain from crops :)


Bananas ??
they are to the right, next of the coconuts ^^

Post by: ancientmuse on July 09, 2017, 04:15:02 PM
Okay thanks guys, now I know how the health thing truly works.

Dang, I was hoping to avoid orchards and just fill my bannies' bellies with strawberries and watermelons.

Nice looking bananas. It's really weird that you have made strawberries and watermelons as vegetables. Crops can be fruit or veg or grain, and strawberries and watermelons are normally considered to be fruit.
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: RedKetchup on July 09, 2017, 04:25:12 PM
bah it is same as tomatoes !

I'mma gonnnna cry.
Seriously.

I'm not picking on Red here (I know it seems like it, and I'm not kicking him in the pants) - but, when I saw that it had Strawberries and Watermelons I automatically thought that the pack had a mix of Veg & Berry & Grain (Sorghum) - is it not?

I know I should scroll back up - but I just want to double check - how have they been flagged? 
Thank you :D

Technically speaking, yes, tomatoes are a fruit.... but everyone treats them like a vegetable in real life.

from wiki :
Tomatoes are not the only food source with this ambiguity: bell peppers, cucumbers, green beans, eggplants, avocados, and squashes of all kinds (such as zucchini and pumpkins) are all botanically fruits, yet cooked as vegetables.
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: ancientmuse on July 09, 2017, 05:07:39 PM
LOL @ Red

Yes, most things are technically fruits.... but as far as I'm concerned:   If it's savory, it's a vegetable.... if it's sweet, it's a fruit.

That's how I cook and that's how I eat, dammit.  Pfft.

The scientists can shove their silly technical food categories where the sun don't shine !

yes i think i made them all, like i said month ago, i dont know how to "bake" them in the mesh. but they all there , i think

in attachments, i ve put as example 2 of those , brocoli and carrots, you see they are made. but they dont show in the .fbx
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: embx61 on July 10, 2017, 07:02:34 AM
Luke don't bake them in the mesh either I believe unless using the diffuse texture and the original unwrap is baking.

That is why his examples have also separate AO mapping files.

Only difference is that we use Auto unwrap while Luke uses his original texture unwrap.

You can see this clearly if you look at his Apary Texture and the AO map.
The AO is about the same as his diffuse texture while by me the AO is completely different then the diffuse texture because of the auto unwrap.

I followed Shocks tutorial and he using auto unwrap as well, as I did not get using my diffuse map and my original unwrap as AO to work properly.

But it works as Shock does it so I not worry about it :)

Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: RedKetchup on July 11, 2017, 02:42:26 AM
so i gone back to redo entirely the little house i was playing today .....

i will do couple or more models to go with ...

it will be a little kit to go with NMT3.0Series.

they are very cozy, and are same size graphically as the vanilla wooden/stone house, the only difference instead of 4x4 + 1 for the road ... they will be 4x4 with the road
which mean they will have 1 tile in the back ghosted (or overlapped) which will allow you to put it more further than usual. you will able to use that tile for mountain example, or in the water (on the beach of a lake or river) you will even be able to use that ghosted tile to put over a NMT3.0:Canal System :) and give some effect :)

i will make all the variant with all 8 canal textures and i ll try to make 2-3 "F" alternate models.

but i ll will do that very slowly, no timeline though.

(it is nice to get out of plants and trees for couple of days ^^)

of course, it uses the new " Transparency Glass Technology" ™ from Bartender :D

@DesoPL

Some want compilations others want mods separated.

If I make a set some ask to get some parts of it separated,
If I make all separated some will ask to add several or all of them in a big mod :)

Let me first say that there is no right and wrong here and it is just players personal preference.

But for the modder it can become a updating nightmare to make several versions of the same mods.

I have done it and will continue adding to the unified mod, Although Unified will always be a bit behind. Latest Unified don't have the irrigation channels and the boarding house yet integrated but is up to date with everything else I created so far so not that bad behind.

If a modder need to update one mod he have to do it twice if he decides to make a compilation mod besides his stand alone/sets and to be honest we rather create new things then to keep digging in the same code twice.

Almost all my older separate mods in the download section are not updated for a long time because it is just too much work.
Last update for most of them was just game breaking bug fixes and making use of the community toolbar.

Since I created the production/storage/housing sets I decided to leave them but updating will be either very slow or not at all.

That was the reason for me to create several buildings in one PKM what makes a bit of sense. Some chains with several building which will work together in a production chain(s)
It is not perfect but at least it is a middle of the road approach what hopefully make sit a bit easier on the players but for sure makes my life a bit easier :)

Last I know is that Shock was in the hospital but seem to be out of the hospital and recovering and a couple of days ago I read that kralyerg seems to be sick too.

I wish them both well.

Time ill tell if both return or not.

it will take like 3-4 hrs

oh also, i will probably take up the opportunity to use the new feature that Luke gave us : build requiment up to 6 :)
but nothing too serious though ... maybe + 1 iron, + 1 tool... and something else.....

Luke in his example used +1 firewood +1 coal... +1 iron for the wooden house...

i wish to add glasses though but.... i would need to add glasses to the starting conditions so we can start to build those right from the bat :P (i mean right from the start lol, maybe a french canadian expression ? lol)
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: elemental on July 11, 2017, 06:27:41 PM
Right off the bat is an English expression too.

I don't really understand why you need to have a tool as a house building material. The builders need tools to work efficiently and they consume tools just like all the other workers. Pottery makes more sense to me. But of course it's your choice how you do it.

You don't really need to worry about starting conditions. We can build vanilla houses (and lots of other houses too) at the start of any game and then build better houses when we have the necessary resources. (glass, pottery, whatever...)

I have done it and will continue adding to the unified mod, Although Unified will always be a bit behind. Latest Unified don't have the irrigation channels and the boarding house yet integrated but is up to date with everything else I created so far so not that bad behind.

If a modder need to update one mod he have to do it twice if he decides to make a compilation mod besides his stand alone/sets and to be honest we rather create new things then to keep digging in the same code twice.

Almost all my older separate mods in the download section are not updated for a long time because it is just too much work.
Last update for most of them was just game breaking bug fixes and making use of the community toolbar.

Since I created the production/storage/housing sets I decided to leave them but updating will be either very slow or not at all.

That was the reason for me to create several buildings in one PKM what makes a bit of sense. Some chains with several building which will work together in a production chain(s)
It is not perfect but at least it is a middle of the road approach what hopefully make sit a bit easier on the players but for sure makes my life a bit easier :)

Last I know is that Shock was in the hospital but seem to be out of the hospital and recovering and a couple of days ago I read that kralyerg seems to be sick too.

I wish them both well.

Time ill tell if both return or not.

I know, and i wish for both best though. About mods... Problem for me with mods, is putting them in game, well... If i download via steam, is allright. Worse is, if i download from non steam source.

So if you put a PKM in the windata folder, start the game, enable that mod, restart the game, it is not going to work with steam?

Well now, @Mr. Red, it looks as if I will have to wait longer to do a map with Garden Walls Utilities until I can have some of these great looking matching houses.  So I will need to use the clay chain also, correct? I will be patient.  :)

thanks

should be soon.

i made today a 5th "F" alternate model :)

i took 2 decisions though : cancel the ghosted 1 tile part in the back cause already just with testing ... i keep forgeting to let 1 space behind  and i am just testing lol, imagine a player :P

since i cancel the 1 tile ghosted, i am making all same as wood/stone : 4x4+1 road. and i am in the process to move all the housing/build01/build02 in all my graphic files of a -0.5 to y (already done half of it)

i also gave up to try to add "glass" to the stockpile at start ... cause starting conditions dont stack. so changed all the costs to wood + stone/brick

should be released in couple of hours :)

NMT3.0Series: LittleHousing for 1.0.6 and 1.0.7

(http://worldofbanished.com/gallery/37_14_07_17_8_03_08.png)

This is a mod that adds a NMT Little Housing Set to your game that will match the textures of your NMT3.0Series Canal system.


5 different models "F" alternate.
8 different textures, same as NMT3.0Series: Canal system (Classic, Old Stones, Red Bricks, Sand Bricks, Fire Set Bricks, Old Church Stones, Dark Stones Foundations, Old Wood).

The houses are 4x4 +1 road and will cost or 24stones+8wood, or 24bricks+8wood, or 24wood+8stones depending the texture chosen.

These new houses use the new " Transparency Glass Technology" ™ from Bartender.

the heat fuel is slightly better than vanilla counterparts. Wood one has 70 (instead of 60), stone and bricks ones have 98 (instead of 90)

The difference between version 1.0.7 and 1.0.6 is : in 1.0.7 bricks is "custom5 flag", while in 1.0.6 it use "stone flag".

1.0.6 : http://worldofbanished.com/index.php?topic=1851.0 (http://worldofbanished.com/index.php?topic=1851.0)
1.0.7 : http://worldofbanished.com/index.php?topic=1850.0 (http://worldofbanished.com/index.php?topic=1850.0)


Enjoy !!

A new greenhouse? The glass does look good. I was looking at your garden walls greenhouse the other day and thought to myself that adding glass might not actually make it look much better because it already looks great. But looking at this perhaps I was wrong.  :)

@RedKetchup , wow, my favorite seedling greenhouse being redone with glass and with a fireplace heater.  How nice, it looks really good.  Thank you so much, but don't be surprised if I still use the old one too.  :)

I have a request, or a suggestion for Garden Walls Utilities.  I just love the fodder farm hut.  I was wondering if a matching piece with that same roof could be added to the set called a feeding shed that would have the same function as the stable.  The matching shed could then be put next to the vanilla pasture as if that was the source of the fertilizer.  It would be a very nice alternative to always using the stable.  It could actually go with any pasture, even fenceless.  Good fodder for future stories.  :)

yeah it will be a replacement with seedlings. and in the menu there will be food being grow with seedlings as part of the cost.
like example : 8 seedlings + 1 firewood = 64 food
or maybe 4 seedlings + 1 firewood + 1 water + 1 fertilizer = 64 food (i dunno i ll see )

Oh, that is not how the old greenhouse works, the one in the decorative items pack the greenhouse with only the botanist no other input produced seedling you could use for trade or use to plant decorative trees.  The greenhouse separate from the deco mod produced seedling that could only be used for trade.  This new greenhouse requires seedlings, where do you get the seedlings from.
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: RedKetchup on July 19, 2017, 08:51:17 PM
it will be the first option on the menu list :)
and then below, you will able to use those seedlings to get food :)

it will pay more to plant them and get food than sell those and buy food with the money :)

it was the intended project with it back 33 months ago...
but i never made it.

Wow, the glass material brings a really nice effect. Perfect for this greenhouse. Could be worth to try it in the porches of my cottages. Do you notice any effect on performance because of transparency? I guess it needs more calculating but maybe not relevant.
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: embx61 on July 20, 2017, 12:38:22 AM
I think it should be fine performance wise.

The moving water we use don't seem to slow down either.

The only thing is with windows looking through that the mesh walls, roof need to be double faced or players will look through it from the inside out.
A floor plane is needed as well or the players will see the foot print.

So for green house and maybe porches it is okay but I personally will refrain using it for houses as almost all my walls are planes and so I need to put a shell modifier on it or detach/move/flip the faces what will double the poly count for each wall.

@RedKetchup so you will need 2 fantastic looking greenhouses, 1 to produce seedling and 1 to use the seedling to produce food?  That is a lot of workers if you also need fodder and fertilizer and well water and firewood. That greenhouse will have to produce a lot of food.  I will stick with the old greenhouse and 1 worker producing seedlings to trade for livestock and seeds for all those new crops.  :)
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: RedKetchup on July 20, 2017, 04:28:17 AM
i personally always do thick walls as i shown you in my tutos so i dont need to double walls and flip.

oh and also, i use opacity (or transparency) to 0.3

yes you need to put a floor but also... so can see interiors are gathering snow ^^ specially interior window frames

@RedKetchup I think it would be a shame to loose this nice looking greenhouse.  With only the greenery and clay pots this would make a nice seedling only greenhouse separate from the garden wall utility mod.  I just notice the sprinkling can inside, very nice.  Could you please make a seedling only greenhouse for me?  I and my Smallvillians would really appreciate it.  Thank you.  :)

each have their way to go and being very productive with their way they have been setup.

it is really not appropriated to have GardenWalls greenhouses to make seedlings.

@RedKetchup Oh I guess I misunderstood, I thought you said these greenhouses with glass were replacing the garden wall greenhouses and going to have seedling in them.

So you are saying you can not make me a separate greenhouse with the graphics I show in the screenshot, just for seedlings like your old one I have been using since Smallville?   Really?

I was wondering, sorry to just drop on in ... but ... @RedKetchup I was wondering if at least one of the walls of the Greenhouses could be flush against the tile edge. 
I want to use @embx61 new irrigation system and bring an irrigation pipeline right up to the buildings, so that it looks like they are being plumbed in (it's a decorative effect, not practical - the building doesn't pull water from the irrigation) - so, it would need at least 1 wall flush with the tile edge.


Or, at the very least, @embx61 would you be able to build a 'wall mount' connector piece that would connect to the walls of Red's Greenshouses, and @kid1293 Botanical Garden?
I like the idea of the bannies being smart enough to plumb in the irrigation channels.  :D


:D  Thank you  :D

Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: embx61 on July 21, 2017, 10:13:20 PM
It all depends were the walls are located in the several mods.

With closed house it does not matter if the piece go a good bit inside the house as it will not be visible.
It looks a bit odd though to have a gutter running through the wall and the wall will block the water as if the water is running against the wall instead of running through a hole in the wall.

What I can maybe do is a round piece of closed pipe from the Gutters into houses as no water flow is seen and the pipe just go through the wall.

If I make that piece about 1 1/2 game tile long it will fit most houses I think.

I just center it on the Y axis tile, about same height as the Gutters, and then about 1 1/2 game tile long.

As if Bannies are bright enough to do some plumbing I not sure about. I have seen Bannies starve to death while standing right in front of a Barn with food inside  :P LOL

I like a lot of your ideas Query :)

The whole irrigation on crop fields was your idea :)

And please don't feel ashamed because some of your ideas are not going to work as you describe them.

Your idea will work if I just use pipes instead of gutters so the idea to go from the gutters into a building still stands and I will do it if I get to the Irrigation again what is soon. :)

With the greenhouse I have to look at your fbx to see what pipe lenght I need as I don't want to go to deep in the greenhouse because the inside is visible :)

But for all other buildings a round pipe will be sufficient even when the pipe goes a tile length in the house :)

a played abit again today ....

i picked up a little list to do for my Editor's Choice personal version :)

fix orchards to have rows every 2 tiles (not 3 as vanilla)
make a better looking wood butcher (much similar to Old Wood housing texture)
i need to check for Buzy Laborers.... i like the feature to ask go harvest wild and herbs.
add starting conditions : use my seeds instead of vanilla one or all of them (probably)
i can maybe check to add iron ore and change the template of vanilla blacksmith to turn ore into iron.
i also liked alot the watching towers of training camp... i miss them. but i need to be redraw because it was way too small.
and if i do, i ll need to edit vanilla tailor to add fur coat.
i need to finish my orchards to add the full list to it.

i wont use the community toolbar for it though : will put my housing next to vanilla wood house and my personal specialized stockpiles instead of vanilla one. replace the orchard by the new one.
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: embx61 on July 21, 2017, 11:33:17 PM
O yeah, I edited the orchards for my beloved wife to have 2 rows instead of 3 and made them ever living as well.
Vanilla orchards are a pain already with the short lifespan and to have more empty spaces makes it even worse :)

I hope to work a bit on the village set later tonight or tomorrow.

A huge list to do. Town Hall, Forester, Fishers hut, Gatherer, Hunter, Wood Cutter, Tailor, Blacksmith, and a Tavern.  ::) LOL

After that somewhere in 2022 (LOLOL) I see if I can change the pasture as well. :)

Try to do all the Vanilla buildings in several sets but all matching.


The Herbalist is pretty close already so only change that one a bit.

I am testing if the boat dummy is right now. I rotated them 90 degrees but remember that I did the same for the priest in front of the church and the game just ignored it and that dude was still facing the same way  ???

So lets hope the game recognizes the 90 degree turn of the boat dummies.

While waiting for a trader to show up to check I developed a bit the town.

Man, I was quite amused by using the village set and I got the eager just to play for a bit. (I did not really play for about 2 years)

I going to start a new game and play a game to see how my mods together with some others are holding out together.
It will give me sometimes a nice break from modding even when I just play 1 or 2 hours a day between modding sessions.

@RedKetchup I wasn't sure if it was a matter of positioning on the tile, or how that was designed, it's not something I've looked into.

Does that mean then, that the small beach houses, the ones you did months ago - would need to be completely redone if I were to ask to have them reduced to 2 tiles wide, not the current 3?

I was trying to create a beach today, I had a great map with and with the riffles mod by Necora I was able to create a good slope to put a beach slope area into it (I just now need to find a good sand texture that conforms with the slant, but that doesn't exist yet) - anyway - with the houses, I had wondered what it would be like:

Instead of 3 tiles wide - the house the same size, but on 2 tiles, so they completely fill the tiles, but they can also sit right alongside each other, like row houses. 

If you were to say no, I understand - you have a lot (lots & lots, lots) to do - it was just something I thought of today when I was designing the beach area.

I did want to know though - even if you couldn't change the way the houses fit on the tiles, could you please change the front tiles to road or ghost (overhang even would be great) - I want to place sand road under the front of them along the beach front, but I can not.


-----
I wonder, because I do like the original set, perhaps in the future, a 2nd set (so there would be 4 icons) - the original, then a 2nd with:  2 tile houses, where they can fit together like a rowhouse, or a tile a part for a road way. 


The beach houses here some are separate with enough room for a walking trail between them, or other snug against each other. :) 


But definitely, please, the ability to lay the sand roadway right under them would be terrific.   Thank you.
Sorry for babbling.  It's been a long, long day. ;)
--  this is not a priority, it's just if you decide you want to do something with them :)

a played abit again today ....

i picked up a little list to do for my Editor's Choice personal version :)

fix orchards to have rows every 2 tiles (not 3 as vanilla)
make a better looking wood butcher (much similar to Old Wood housing texture)
i need to check for Buzy Laborers.... i like the feature to ask go harvest wild and herbs.
add starting conditions : use my seeds instead of vanilla one or all of them (probably)
i can maybe check to add iron ore and change the template of vanilla blacksmith to turn ore into iron.
i also liked alot the watching towers of training camp... i miss them. but i need to be redraw because it was way too small.
and if i do, i ll need to edit vanilla tailor to add fur coat.
i need to finish my orchards to add the full list to it.

i wont use the community toolbar for it though : will put my housing next to vanilla wood house and my personal specialized stockpiles instead of vanilla one. replace the orchard by the new one.

oh also .... i would like to have a better clay pit. something you would need to install on a creek and they would work each side of it and digging for clay.

Aspect très beau Red :)

Yeah, I must admit I am enjoying playing as well. :)

Cannot believe I did not play a serious game for about 2 years.

And when I was waiting for the trader to show up so I could see if the boat dummy was working okay (It is okay now) I could see a lot of the buildings others and me made over the last 2 years.
Wish my beautiful wife was here to see the whole village set and some other mods in use :(

I not normally pat myself on the shoulder much but it truly looks so awesome all together :)

It also shows however how much I need to change the vanilla clunkers and make them fit the small village theme.
Lots of work but the spirit and drive are there after seeing it all in action so I make myself some coffee and start another building.

If I need a break I going to play the map again for a while :)

@RedKetchup quick question - with the Fodder Farmer, how many tiles gap do I need to leave for the flowers to grow in?
I know the radius is there, but if I want to try and leave spaces, how big is the flower model?

the model of flowers and the model of fodders look like they cover 3x3 tiles but in fact they are only 1x1 tile large
if you mean by about overlap the circles?... you should try to not overlap too much. it give you no benefits to overlap because they will cover their entire circle no matter what with time.
and also, people need to find a way to pass between each spawns of everything. each patch of fodder, each patch of flowers take the tile and block passageway
this is why i made them "look" as 3x3 but really are 1x1 to give impression it is covered. but in reality there is a super maze created by the game that twine and meander the place

Thank you for the excellent explanation @RedKetchup that makes perfect sense :D  I have a good idea now on what I need to do!


Also - in other news, I am loving that iron ore.  That is really good!!
I'm not a convert in moving to iron ore (yet), but that texturing, nearly has me over the line.  I really like it - great work.  :D  Thank you!!

it is already available since a while :)

plain version : http://worldofbanished.com/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=319 (http://worldofbanished.com/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=319)
[GRID] version : http://worldofbanished.com/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=325 (http://worldofbanished.com/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=325)

it is midway from plain and mountains. there is less mountain than a valley, bigger comfortable zones, the few mountains are not necessairly bigger, but they are alot taller.
it is like if the age of the world was more new.

did you tried it ?

or with your question you are really expecteing a big plain with no peaks  at all ?

I must say I'm chomping at the bit here. These new crops, orchards, berries, and greenhouses are exactly what I've been looking for since modding was first released for Banished. I am really looking forward to seeing the orchards released. (Could you maybe add things like gooseberries, blackberries, and currants to the berries fields?)

I'm also very curious as to what the final FOODS mod will include? Is it just going to be the crops and such? Or are you going to be going into wild foods, food processing and such?

and there will be a processed food one with their buildings and recipes.

:) Very nice

Nice to see the Vanilla buildings replaced by something way better :)

When I looked over my little village last night the vanilla barn and the Town hall stood out of the rest and not in a good way  ;)
I build the small village Barn and when it was finished broke the vanilla barn down :)

Town hall is almost Finished. Have to do some details and build stages, AO maps and then I can compile the next village set version and can get rid of the vanilla Town hall too :)

The Pilgrims New England Mod is done so far and I have send him the sources and the PKM for review so after finishing the town hall I play a bit and then go for the 8 vanilla production buildings  replacements 1 at a time.

so i ve got to correct that.

The green grass of the game world comes sometimes through in the corner(s) from the end pieces?

I have seen it only a couple of times while testing the NMT ghosted Channel pieces but thought it was just a game glitch.
Do you know what the problem is?

I like that Sandstone Texture a lot on the Canals :)

TP should be able to fully process those ducks and pigs at one condition: you have enabled [CC], MM, or [CC]Pigs addon and [CC]Ducks addon in here :
http://worldofbanished.com/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=248 (http://worldofbanished.com/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=248)
http://worldofbanished.com/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=249 (http://worldofbanished.com/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=249)

with those enabled before or after should get same results, being able to buy them from TPs

(i dont have the code to include those directly, BlackLiquid never gave me their code and files of the CC mod.)

Working presently on updating the Multi Story housing to 3.0.

so i am wondering ....
back in time when people were using it..... (i say that because i know most people don't use NMT2.0 anymore ^^)

back in time when you were using it ... did you like the 3 story ? or did you found that 3 story was way too much high ? Wouldnt been only 2 level wasnt kinda enough and the 3rd one was too much ?

(i ask that because this is what i personally think. i liked alot the colorful 2 story little house... but i never liked the 3rd story height :P )
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: Freedom on August 02, 2017, 11:19:42 AM
NMT Corner housing at 3 stories is my goto favorite for denser housing blocks in urban areas - usually near mines, quarries and other buildings needing many workers. The size "fits" the surrounding structures very well. (It would be nice to have brick from your clay pit and kilns as a building option versus stone...  :) ) The straight housing I use less often but again are a goto housing set in transitional areas between town and city where dense housing and a more sophisticated building style are what's needed. 

I also make heavy use of 1 and 2 story Little Houses, mainly outside of towns in forest areas with hunter/gatherer types. Again they fit into the landscape size and style in an optimistic way - not too large or fancy but not crude and run down either (not a fan of dreary existence homes). I probably would not use a 3rd story here as it would outsize the surroundings.

Thanks much for all you do!

As for multi-story houses. Two floors is generally as high as I go except for "rich" houses. But yeah, generally the second story houses fit will together while the thrid story ones tended to get crowded really quick.

I make it as close to CC as possible. I don't need things like fabrics or forged (custom1 and 2) and they will be used in a different way. I can post a table or screenshot how it looks right now. But also with some differences it can work by a few overwrites.

will do. it will be similar to NMT Little Housing with 4x stone, 3x bricks and 1 wood. but wont have Dark stones since it isnt really good as building texture... will go for its alternate that i used.

i still need to make 2-3 meshs (kind of fruits) i ll try to push that somehow soon...


i didnt thought many people were still using NMT 3story house....
it is been long time i dont really see blog posts with someone using those. although always same people making a blog ^^
even @Paeng  dont use them anymore since 1-2 years ^^

but i am trying also to reduce their size. 1st floor was 4x6 (4x5+1road) and i am reducing it at 4x5 with the road
i also add the Bartender's Transparent Glass Technology ™ :)
at 1st floor i add my Redketchup's Living Fire ™ to lamp posts (surely at 2nd floor too) while the 3rd floor will have the smoke in the chimney.

btw , i tried to get chimney fire see through transparent glasses.... dont work :( it looks like we cannot see particule fire through windows  :'(

are you obligated to use those if you dont have really something in those categories ?
because doing so you make it non compatible with the other mods.

there is still 1 free we kept cleared in case.

we tried to make it so it suits everybody, you also got invited but you kept silence and suggested nothing ^^

Yes, I use all 10 and even would use more for internal control of trading and storage if I could. Would be just stupid to waste custom1 and 2, especially because they are at the beginning of the townhall statistics. Let's don't argue about some custom flags. I racked my brain over the CC flagging and how to be as compatible as possible. I solved it somehow and it's just these fabrics and forged which are probably not used much by other mods. And I was not invited to your "private party of certain people" or how was it called?  ;D ;)
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: RedKetchup on August 02, 2017, 05:01:01 PM

It's nice to have flags for it to control production and purchasing and to see in status bar how much you have to build advanced houses and to process food... Cotton you can also put in Textiles, Red.

not to argue but shouldn't money be custom 6? and by "trading" for #( what is listed under it?
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: Tom Sawyer on August 04, 2017, 10:30:37 AM
Custom6 I will use for precious metals like gold and silver. I don't want it together with money because it's used for different things. With flags for trading it can be defined what merchants bring, for example only money to pay for stuff.

personally i use :

Custom0 for artefacts, pottery
Custom 4 for Clay
Custom 5 for Bricks, rooftiles
Custom 7 for Haystack, Fertilizer, Flowers, Perfume

Textile for fur and cotton

thats about it so far :)
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: embx61 on August 04, 2017, 11:59:27 AM
Glass is Custom 5 by me (Construction material)

Glassware and linseed oil is Custom0 (Crafted)

Salt is CoalFuel (Minerals)

Clay and sand is Custom4 (Raw Materials)

Then some stuff in Custom7 (Misc) like the leather pouches and saddles.

Charcoal is Custom3 (Enhanced Fuel)

Custom1, 2, 6, 8, and 9 are not used so far.

Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: brads3 on August 04, 2017, 12:31:12 PM
those makes sence. i would rather see cured leather as custom 2 and saddles as 0. reason being if we move misc around,then everyone stores RED's fertilizer.but then i would have to load the joined mod and i have the splits. so don't listen to me much.LOL
    only big problem i have,and yeah it is mainly cause i use CC, is what freakin stores where?? EB has helped a lot with some of the markets. i have the wharehouse built now and soon can test it more also. in the game i am on,i notice certain items aren't getting to the trade posts fast enough even with good supply. i think part of it is bannies and part is us players still trying to decipher stuff. am grateful for the gains we have made. KID's office helps too cause i can use CC cellars to store lots. the office fits about half the cellars.i build RED's fodder shed and a small shed to store water with the fodder set. the bannies move everything all over . i don't think it is just us. i think the bannies are out to get us and confuse us.

Post by: embx61 on August 04, 2017, 12:33:38 PM

Leather Pouches and saddles are Custom 0. I changed this a while ago :)

I played a lot with your 3 stories housing RK for me it's still the best one for a dense urban area and almost the only one since the other 2-3 story houses are from the old building off CC.

For me there is 4 huges set of buildings, EB set is more a Village style set, DS one could be a mix of urban-village style building but urban buildings are too redundant thought, the CC one's is too much "colonial style" for me so I dont used it since it do not fit with most of the other mods.
Your 2-3 stories set is really good since you can did a lot of mix with commercial buildings to make nice looking shopping street and .. .your get the best urban looking roof style thought (I love the double color red and black one ^^)

But ... it could be a cheat to use them, since it's easyer to concentrate citizen around your shops/entertainement area.

meanwhile in NMT30 world.............

i was trying to do my own extra building cost UI. i was not satissfied the example Luke provided and how he did it ^^
In the Luke's example, he made it so all the building in the game (even vanilla's or from mods) were getting the extra large window even if the cost was only 1 resource: wood.  ???  :'(
it was looking stupid to get an extra width 7 resources window for a building that only cost 16 wood to build  >:(


i made it so it doesnt affect any other building, nor vanilla ones, nor any other mods building if they dont need it (dont need the extra width one)

in the screenshot you can see only MY multi level has the extra width building window while all the other one stayed unchanged  :D
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: embx61 on August 06, 2017, 06:31:35 PM
Yeah, I renamed the build.rsc to build4.rsc

I even went some further and only have the UI for 4 building materials instead of 6.

I did this for the church where I only added glass.

I just copied the build.rsc file and added just 1 extra entrée instead of 3.

Named it build4 and referenced to build4 in the template file and that was it :)
You want one more make a build5 and two more a build6.

so i did my code for the 3 floors X 8 textures.....

and i need to choose 8 different textures for 8 different roof :)

of course the NMT2.0 ones will comeback and probably add more  :D there will be 2 wood, 1 vanilla brown wood shingles... probably for the wood one
i ll add the black one to probably the classic stones....
the orange clay rooftile will be back to .... sand bricks one ?
the italian red rooftile will be back to probably... i dunno which one... maybe red bricks? lol

@RedKetchup  about those new textures for the houses you are talking ....

1) I hope the following combination is included, as I don't see those roof textures in your post above.

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=626585888


2) Also the roof texture in this screenshot http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=726279680

...but then in combination with white walls. You couldn't do it otherwise in the previous version. You always had those red bricks included. So If I may suggest this in the next version  , White walls with that grey roof texture.


3) the red bricks with the other orange roof version like in the following screenshot (house in the middle). http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=827667305

4) possible other combinations :
the sand brick walls with the grey roof style,
the sand bricks with the rooftexture in 3) , so you'll have both combos.?
The original nmt style with grey roof

this is one before the very last one is that texture roof, the orange clay tile (18th from begining). the wall are the 4th one Sand Bricks

This one is the 16th roof texture of the picture, the wall are Red Bricks so you want me to give the 18th texture to red bricks, and keep the 16th for white stuco ?

a thing though, i dont want to make 2-3 combinaison of the same bricks with different roof.... i have other wall textures to integrate :)
and dont worry, you will love them too after a while :) ^^

The red and black from NMT 2.0.

The shape seems to be the same as the RKWHOIdRoof1q (2nd of last line)  but the color was the one in the last one: RoofTiles2x2c

By the way if you want me to change some color with photoshop I can do it ^^ (that's the only way I can help you so far)

then it is certainly RoofTiles2x2c because thats the only roof texture i have in my nmt20 folder that is of this color
(none of that color with the shape of RKWHOIdRoof1q)

if someone has the ability to take that texture 1 and make the color of the 2nd one... go ahead.
thats beyond my skills ^^

Post by: embx61 on August 07, 2017, 06:47:58 PM
I am pretty limited too with Photoshop.

But I think with a selection or whole texture in case of your roof texture you go to Image --> Adjustments --> Color Balance and play with the three color bars.

This can change the colors of the texture. I did this to get the different color of the Village Set :)

I am sure there are probably different and even better ways but I got the result I wanted by doing this.

Hue saturation also under Adjustments can be helpful to make the wood look old (Saturated) by dragging the saturation bar to the left.
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: RedKetchup on August 07, 2017, 06:53:40 PM
some adjustments i am used to do with another program : ThumbsPlus 9

this is why i am not that great with photoshop
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: elemental on August 07, 2017, 07:19:45 PM
It took me 5 steps but I don't remember what I did. There are so many options in photoshop that unless you write down what you do it's virtually impossible to do it again. One trick when you are changing colours like this is to duplicate layer after you make each change. That makes it easier to explore your options.

Image --> Adjustments --> Selective Colour, Hue/Saturation, Colour Balance, and Brightness/Contrast are the main tools I use when I play with colours. It's all just trial and error until you get something close to what you want, and then you can fine tune it a bit. Sometimes it's very easy, sometimes it just doesn't work very well at all. Really depends on what you are trying to do.

Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: wiscoke on August 07, 2017, 11:44:00 PM
@RedKetchup "This one is the 16th roof texture of the picture, the wall are Red Bricks so you want me to give the 18th texture to red bricks, and keep the 16th for white stuco ?"

yes that would be great.

are you going to change the houses too? the shapes , I mean?
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: RedKetchup on August 08, 2017, 12:28:56 AM
the shapes ? no. the change they get they will a bit smaller and hopefully less height(or high)
the original size was 4x6 with road.... now they are 4x5 with the road. so they will be a bit smaller but i ll keep same shapes and same look
although there will be more color and more textures of them. (which isnt hard, just some names to change and re-export under a new name.fbx)

the upgrade system wont comeback, they will be under same kind of toolbar as NMT Little houses


meanwhile ....
someone asked me to do 1 more set of city roads with grey sidewalks and red brick roads :)
(waiting to see if he is happy with the changes on this or not)

Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: Savidan on August 08, 2017, 04:20:16 AM
@embx61: >There is many way to did it, but if you want to fit to a desire color there is a better way though
- You add a layer to desaturate your start picture.
- You add a layer you fill with the color you want and you change the mode to "inlay" (It should be that in english but i use it in french)
-If you want to adjust the light, you add another layer "Bright/luminosity"

The good thing to do that way is that you can re-adjust after if you dont like it.


@RedKetchup : I love your new roads !!!

Instead of picking one colour combination another option is to make a house without a roof and a set of ghost deco roofs. Then the player could pick any combination of colours. The ultimate in flexibility and replay value.  :)

floor 1 model 4 redone :) based on model 4 of nmt2.0 with a balcony :)

i need though to go lower my chimneys ^^
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: RedKetchup on August 10, 2017, 06:07:05 PM
chimney lowered down : done
hehe i also forgot to change the roof of the wood house one ^^

btw the 5th model was a 4th model mirrored left-right.... i ll try to not do this and build something else :)
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: RedKetchup on August 11, 2017, 01:45:57 PM
floor 1 , 5th model done :)

design is a bit based on the NMT Little house :)
i need to decide if i ll do a 6th model, i need to look what the nmt 6th was looking ^^ i have so much a poor memory :P
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: Savidan on August 11, 2017, 01:57:48 PM
Lol I was closed to suggest you to take the design from NMT Little house today :)

Maybe you can take an other model from NMT Little House ?

Edit: This one ?
With a side door.
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: RedKetchup on August 11, 2017, 02:05:40 PM
yeah i can try :)

it will may be look funny with a balcony going to the rear while we get a 2nd and a 3rd floor over it ^^
at some point i thought about this one before i picked up one for the 5th model... and i chose another one thinking that maybe that one could look cool for a corner :)
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: Savidan on August 11, 2017, 02:16:25 PM
Exact that would be great for a corner house too :)
[Edit] I browse the web to find some ideas around both ideas

NMT House 3 .0 2 story in real life  ? xD

i am posting 2 screen to show the size difference between old ones and new one :)
i almost gained 1 tile high so far :)
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: RedKetchup on August 12, 2017, 01:12:08 PM
i did all my textures for this floor 2 model 1 ...

and i was always confused if i had to left the stucco there or fully make them bricks and stone....

so i made both LOL ( always more and more and more models /shrug )

they all have their own charm ^^
there is a total of 16 different texturing in this screenshot lol
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: RedKetchup on August 12, 2017, 02:25:44 PM
so in game they will alternate as usual : Model 1 : a full brick/stone, a full stucco, Model 2 : a full brick/stone, a full stucco, Model 3 : a full brick/stone, a full stucco.....

and all the stucco ones arent really the same, they all have different stone/brick at bottom of the stairs (and the chimney), and all the roof are different :)
both kind look good :)
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....

Yep but RK show only row houses on the screenshots you can add NMT littlehouses he did and maybe the pathway houses (I dont know if you want to update it too RK ?) All together that will provide us a lot of combinations.

That's really a good addition to the game though.

By the way, did you plan to add cellar too RK ?

Looking very great though and so many options.

I got a question. Can you upload your Peaks valley source in the Laboratory so I can take a look how to change the ingame ground/mountain/pasture textures?
Not sure about the texture sizes and what to change exactly in the code.

I looked but could not find it.

BTW i have a question

How you guys are good with "glass" ? a RawMateralGlass.rsc resource called "Glass" at the screen and in inventory. Do you gather those easy ?
does it come from many mods ? do you have this Glass in your mod list already and in your games ?

or you will need to add it because your game doesnt produce those yet ?
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: embx61 on August 16, 2017, 11:18:24 AM
I think only my production set 2 and CC are producing glass.

Tom is working on glass too in his the North Mod
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: Savidan on August 16, 2017, 11:38:54 AM
I have both, so I've no problem to made some now. I had the problem at start while I tried to made a church.
It was a bit boring to produce some since only few building request glass or glasswork.

Hello ! @IkusaGwai

about storage:
the only storage i made in the past was some barns and warehouses
i never made some specialized storage yard.

Can you provide me a screenshot of the ones you have in mind ?

if i ask, it is because i need to know if i need to make a sand pit and a glass factory right in same time or if people will be good and delay it.

important note of last minutes : my best friend died this night at 3:30 am ... so it can be erratic during the week. it is possible that we can have some delay  :'(

was older than me by a good 2 decades but we always had joy when we were meeting each other 2-3-4 times every month and we always appreciated each other.
he was a very good guy.

life is life... and death is part of it and we will all one day have our hour. no matter what.

Post by: RedKetchup on August 18, 2017, 08:39:57 AM
thanks. yeah that sad.
but building something help me to weap away the tears in my eyes....


i started the 3rd floor frame
overall, i gained 1 full floor height as it can look in this screenshot.
i wanted to redo everything and lower everything because it was way too high to compare everything in game.
not counting the fact that more high buildings are, and less we can see between roads...

a 3rd story building is still high... but will be less. at least, it will be more proportionate
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: embx61 on August 18, 2017, 09:00:20 AM
That is what I did after my wife passed away.

I didn't wanted to do anything but decided after a couple of days to start 3ds Max up and try to get back into modding.
I have quite a few hobbies like playing chess and model ship building but I did not feel like doing that at all.

Was for about 9 months absent because my wife needed my full attention but decided to build a church I had promised my wife to make for her.
But I was all rusty after 9 months being absent and was browsing Turbosquid to look for inspiration and found that cheap 5 dollar church mesh.

I bought it and it needed quite some work in the mesh as well as the textures (I replaced about all the textures) but it got me back into modding again.

I did at least something instead of just sitting and just thinking about the horrible times I had to deal with.

I can say it surely helped and still helps me to go through these rough times.

it was kinda long to make the first model of the 3rd floor (as each first model cause need to setup things so it match perfectly any 2nd floor under it)
then i ve got also to make all my files to be able to compile for all my 3rd floors (450+ files to create)

and since i am kinda bit at slowMO motion... not 100% concentrated.... as you know....
and i am sorry for all this.



i did the 1st model of 3rd floor in all texture.

i hope i fixed the problem where we see some of the 2nd floor roof thru the roof of this 3rd floor model : i made everything go higher 0,25 tiles. i hope it will hide everything. i need to redo my big file with all the 8 texture X2 variants (16).

the file ? or that house alone ? and how many poly ?


the file so far just reached the 100mb
the last house has 3,976 poly which is effectively bigger than all other model cause the tower itself in the back has 1k poly just for it
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: RedKetchup on August 24, 2017, 09:37:15 AM
oh and about the back tower.... i could deleted alot of poly (all the parts that are hidden when you put the model over a 1st floor and a 2nd floor...
it is just i remember back in time, some people like @assobanana76  asked the floor being able to stand alone if that person want lol (like making it stand over a river ^^ or just stand up like that without any 1st 2nd floor under it)

Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: RedKetchup on August 24, 2017, 10:34:13 AM
there was a time i reduced all poly at max possible, make walls and everything with only front 2D planes and deleting everything inside...
but at some point i ve saw some meshes from CC crew with 2-4k poly ... i told myself that i ve gone maybe a bit too much crazy to save up ^^
of course, having transparent windows require some 3d thick objects and thats ok

i think today to have 1k poly for 1x1 tile is kinda alot, but 3k poly of 5x6=30 tiles ... it has a less impact. (100 poly per 1x1 tile)

another coffee and then starting model 4 :)
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....

2 more to go
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: embx61 on August 24, 2017, 07:47:37 PM
3 to 4K for a house is fine.

Lots of buildings on 3d modeling sites are that size and even some bigger and considered low poly.

Optimizing is always good but to waste a lot of time to squeeze an extra 20 poly out is just a waste of time for a building or any static object.
Nobody going to put 400 of those houses on 1 map.

For a crop or tree squeezing an extra 20 poly out can have a good impact though as hundreds to even more then a thousand can be spawn on a map.

With a lot of work I maybe could have saved some more poly's on those statues so they still looked expectable but it is the same story.
I not see players putting hundreds of them on a map and our time is quite limited as it is.

That is in a sort of way how I approach the poly count for models by just looking what it does and how many I think going to be placed on the map.
If I think not a whole bunch I can add some more poly's for detailing and be a bit more liberal.

As players normally only can place one Town Hall on a map it does not really matter if that Town Hall is 4K or 7K.

I like to add that there is no magic button for optimizing. ProOptimize in max gives okay results and it goes fast but it is in no way perfect.

The big game studios optimize mostly by hand probably let their apprentices do the quite boring optimizing work.

Very good example Red.

I honestly forgot you made that wonderful building or I would have mentioned it above. :)

We have to find a balance between getting Mods out and do optimizing with the time we have.

A perfect optimized building is nice but about half of the Mods currently released would not have been released yet. :)

Look how long you are working on redoing NMT 3 story houses. Imagine you going to spent a lot of time on top of that to maybe squeeze maybe an extra 10K poly extra out for the whole set.

yes i do. i save what i can do... but i keep some part that can bug with the shadow engine.
also, with the experience i have today, i can shape forms the way i like without subdividing pieces and make them as low poly as i can.

oh and about the back tower.... i could deleted alot of poly (all the parts that are hidden when you put the model over a 1st floor and a 2nd floor...
it is just i remember back in time, some people like @assobanana76  asked the floor being able to stand alone if that person want lol (like making it stand over a river ^^ or just stand up like that without any 1st 2nd floor under it)

hey!! Was, and still it is, a great idea!!  ;D ;D ;D

Hi to all!! Unfortunately my PC has melted .. and the PC that I lent can not run a lot of Steam games (including Banished) so I took a long pause until I got the money for a new pc! Then, this morning, I get a mail that RedKetchup mentioned in a post and I could not do it or less to come and see what that villain was saying!  ;D

Post by: RedKetchup on August 26, 2017, 05:41:12 PM
THE FLOOR 3 6TH MODEL IS DONE :)
since i never liked the original 6th model, i totally remade a new designed based on the 5th one :

the attic is bigger, windowed, and placed differently on the roof, and the balcony is smaller.

i dont know yet when it will be released... probably tommorow (or very late tonight) i still have things to do :

the footprint on the ground....
verify all the templates for : number of citizens (1-2 floor will have 5 people, 1000 storage. the 3rd floor will have 6 people and 1200 storage)
verify the templates for : the building costs and make sure the material required match the look of the building:

texture 1,2,6,7 = stone walls , texture 3,4,5 = brick walls , texture 8 = wood walls
texture 1,2,4,8 = wood shingles roof , texture 3,5,6,7 = rooftile roof

i also need to take a decision about my toolbar icons. i would like more colorful icons and not sure i like all those letters since the DarkStone texture from Canals isnt back
if i change those, i ll have to change the NMT30Series: Little housing ones too to continue to match.
i also need to take decision if i release a 1.0.6 version of these... and if i do, which flag i put glass ?
the file will be around 145MB
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: Savidan on August 26, 2017, 06:19:33 PM
Wow I like the new models !

Maybe you could had a little balcony on the side of the attic too, but that's really nice :)
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: RedKetchup on August 27, 2017, 04:30:45 PM
so today i fixed my ground footprints.
i made sure the building materials required match its textures and looking.
i set up the numbers of heat/firewood consumption depending the material required and depending the floor of the residence.

base(walls): wood = 70, stone = 90, brick = 98
roof: wood = +2, rooftile = +8
floor: 1st floor = +0, 2nd = +4, 3rd = +8

so it should give: 1st/2nd/3rd (wall+roof materials)
Classic Stone = 92/96/100 (stone+wood)
Old Stones = 92/96/100 (stone+wood)
Red Brick = 106/110/114 (brick+rooftiles)
Sand Brick = 106/110/114 (brick+rooftiles)
Fire Brick = 100/104/108 (brick+wood)
Old Church = 98/102/106 (stone+rooftiles)
Old Chapel = 98/102/106 (stone+rooftiles)
Old Wood = 72/76/80 (wood+wood)

now i am trying to figure out the icons...
i hate to do icons LOL

what do you thing about that ?

Those icons look better than the lettering you have used on the canal set.

Another option is the icon could be half brick/stone colour and half roof colour. But bricks by themselves is probably all you need.

i tried this with CityRoads before... but because the icons are so small (32x32) it doesnt look good (graphically too thin)
if the icons would have been 128x128 it would be much more clear.

NMT3.0Series: MultiFloors for 1.0.7 Beta 3 and +

http://worldofbanished.com/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=348 (http://worldofbanished.com/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=348)


NMT3.0Series: MultiFloors for 1.0.7

(http://worldofbanished.com/gallery/37_27_08_17_6_32_40.jpeg)


For v1.0.7, this is a mod that adds a NMT Multi-Floors Housing Set to your game that will match the textures of your NMT3.0Series Little Housing and your NMT3.0Series CanalSystem mods.

This MultiLevel House set has been extended to 8 different textures. No more upgrade system and directly available from toolbars.

This set also feature the very new 1.0.7 Extended Building requirement provided with 1.0.7 Beta 3 patch. Each floor and each building will require up to 5 materials. I divided them into parts: studs and floor, walls, random, windows and roof. Some of them can ask multiple same material depending the look of the building.

Note: For those new building, you will need a mod (not provided) to allow you to be able to craft glass.(you will still able to buy glass from your nearest trading post merchants^^)

Classic Stones: Will mainly cost stones to build, this MultiLevel will have a heat consumption of 92/96/100.
Old Stones: Will mainly cost stones to build, this MultiLevel will have a heat consumption of 92/96/100.
Red Bricks: Will mainly cost bricks to build, this MultiLevel will have a heat consumption of 106/110/114.
Sand Bricks: Will mainly cost bricks to build, this MultiLevel will have a heat consumption of 106/110/114.
Fire Bricks: Will mainly cost bricks to build, this MultiLevel will have a heat consumption of 100/104/108.
Old Church Stones: Will mainly cost stones to build, this MultiLevel will have a heat consumption of 98/102/106.
Old Chapel Stones: Will mainly cost stones to build, this MultiLevel will have a heat consumption of 98/102/106.
Old Wood: Will mainly cost wood to build, this MultiLevel will have a heat consumption of 72/76/80.

the costs will be different depending if you build a 1st floor , 2nd floor, or 3rd floor. Higher the level will be, more costly it will ask you. Of course this is still an advantage because higher floors take less space on the map since it is overlapping over previous floors, and the heat consumption is better with higher floors to compare with the 1st floor.

Most models have been remade to look exactly like they were looking in NMT2.0 but they will be a bit smaller (4x4+1road to compare with 4x5+1road) and will be significally less high overall than previous models (1-1.5 tile less high). This have been made to fix the disproportion they had.

1st floor has 6 different models which will alternate automatically and/or rotate with "F" key.
2nd floor has 12 different models which will alternate automatically and/or rotate with "F" key.
3rd floor has 12 different models which will alternate automatically and/or rotate with "F" key.


This mod use the Graphic Overlap Technology ™ to imbricate on top of each other floor.
And this mod use the new Bartender's Transparent Glass technology ™. Thanks ALOT to Bartender for his discovery.



Enjoy!

RED,i went through the seed lists.some of these may have be added with other mods,like EB's sunflowers.not sure if you want to mess with any of them like the wild gathered crops. i'll give you the list though:
beets/beetroots,blackberry,blueberry,chilies,cotton<this may be something other modders might want to expand clothing mods>, herbs, mushrooms, onions,oats,peppers,potato,pumpkins,rasberry,rye,squash,sugarbeets,sweet potato,tobacco

orchards:apple,cherry,coffee,chesnut,figs,grapes,maple,olive,oranges,pear,pecan,peach,plum

other options: pineapples,cantalopes/honeysdew melons,banana,coconut,kiwi,grapefruit,lemon,and of course mango.

   those are rough lists. what proce did you set the seeds at for the traders?

thanks for the list @brads3  :)
in Crops and Orchards mods, i only want those which provide food. all the textiles/luxury ones will come from the industry part
if there are some of these , in that list, that are already made available in a mod, (and if the mesh is looking good - no need to redo), can you indicate me from which mod and from which modder they are from ? (so i can ask if i can get a copy?)

Grapes are from CC as kralyerg shared them with me.
The sunflowers was a very cheap low poly mesh I bought a while ago.

I think most in brads list are Vanilla (8 trees) and are in CC.

sunflowers are mainly used for oil... i know some people often eat some sunflower seeds... which is not my case, i rather have an Ogre's appetite and sunflower seeds are kinda for a bird's appetite person :) so i wont include them :P

So far everything works as intended, nice job :)

I like the idea to add glassworks, bricks ... to the multifloor houses raw request. You cant made them as early as before.

Now there is a clear step by step plan, you need first to make an effective village that will provide raw ressources to make the town.

i have no idea in fact @elemental  :P
i count on people (like @irrelevant  for crops to do something like this : http://worldofbanished.com/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=2 (http://worldofbanished.com/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=2) for the new crops...)
i would need someone too for the numbers of orchards :)
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: irrelevant on August 30, 2017, 06:19:47 PM
@elemental  There are three parameters that determine crop performance: Temperature, Range, Months

Temperature is the median temperature at which the crop will grow. Range is the width of the temperature band in which the crop will grow, with the midpoint of the range set at the median temperature. Months is how many months of growth it takes a tile planted with the crop to mature.

All crops begin to die when the temperature falls below 32, unless the low end of the range is below 32, in which case the crop will live until the temperature falls below that limit.

and i am very happy of it. it look so awesome :)
btw the plant will stay green all year (and swing a bit with wind); it is a hot temperature plant... i dont see it disappear since it is a plant, not a tree. and i think it is cool.

Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: taniu on September 01, 2017, 02:15:40 AM
Personally, I do not mind that palm or pine trees grow side by side - it can be an interesting challenge for palm trees to put them over a lake or a river. We have palm trees - modsCC - Jungle Rivers. Incidentally, on WOB there are many talented people - maybe someone will be willing to create a map, tropical climate + tropical plants - nice to have such a map in Banished. I do not know how the project "Egypt" - home and industrial projects @ RedKetchup are fantastic and beautiful?Regards :)

i was kinda off of drawing meshes yesterday because i was surfing through all the CC "fruit" resources :)
they are mostly only added as resources available from merchants and not used as orchards (it was planned but not made yet)...

so i took all the day to make the right files and do all 5 icons for each "new orchards" resources.
the screenshot show all the icons i ve got to make for those (along with those already made)

the incomming list of items going to be added next are : Acai, Blackberry, Cranberry, Date, Grapefruit, Guava, Kiwi, Kumquat, Nectarine, Papaya, Tamarind, Mulberry, Olive, and Quince.
after doing all those meshes from that list, ill check what i need to add from nuts category.

@ RedKetchup :) - --curio ---Here is the Fruit Tree 40. This is because it actually produces as many as 40 different fruits.
For most of the year this New York tree looks rather ordinary, but in spring its flowers form a true orgy of color, combining a single crown of white, pink, purple and red. In summer, the tree also surprises, producing plums, peaches, apricots, nectarines, cherries and ... almonds of many varieties, most rare and exceptional. When summed up, it gives round 40 - so many varieties and types have been pushed on one tree.
This tree is a masterpiece of fruitfulness. He created them in five years of hard work American artist and professor of arts academy SamVan Aken
Different varieties ripen on the tree gradually, from July to October, so that it does not expose the owner to the failure of the crop.Cheers!

NMT3.0Series: Forest Center for 1.0.6-1.0.7

http://worldofbanished.com/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=358 (http://worldofbanished.com/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=358)

NMT3.0Series: Forest Center

(http://worldofbanished.com/gallery/37_08_09_17_9_31_09.jpeg)

Description:
This is a mod that adds a NMT Forest Center to your game that will allow you to build up to 4 forest districts from the choice of 6 diff ones.


- Building:

Forest Center : 11x11 tiles. cost 24 wood. 1 worker.
A NMT30 Forest Center is used to set a center with districts for forest work. Also can be worked to help to get resources. A forest center allow you to build up to 4 districts. The worker also will help your districts by providing extra resources.

To be able to build districts, you absolutely need to cover all the "road tiles" inside with a very specific path tool. Roads wont allow you to build districts. It is mandatory to use the specific tool provided in the toolbar.


- Tools:

Forest Center Path: This is the tool you need to apply in the appropriate tiles inside the Center to allow you to put districts. Cost nothing to apply out of 1 building unit work.


- Districts:

Hunter District: A NMT30 Hunter District is used for hunting wild animals. Cost 30 wood, 8 stones to build. This hunter district allow you to hire up to 3 hunters and has a range of 40 tiles. This special District allow you to kill deers more often than the vanilla one.

Gatherer District: A NMT30 Gatherer District is used for gatherering wild foods. Cost 30 wood, 8 stones to build. This gatherer district allow you to hire up to 4 gatherers and has a range of 40 tiles. The extra range allow you to possibly get more food or be more constant.

Herbalist District: A NMT30 Herbalist District is used for gatherering wild herbs and restore citizen health. Cost 30 wood, 8 stones to build. This herbalist district allow you to hire up to 2 herbalists and has a range of 40 tiles. The extra range allow you to get more herbs.

Forester District: A NMT30 Forester District is used to define an area to selectively cut down trees and plant new seedlings. Cost 30 wood, 8 stones to build. This forester district allow you to hire up to 4 foresters and has a range of 40 tiles. It will cover more range than usual and can possibly plant something different in very rare case. (fruit trees looking)

Barn District: A NMT30 Barn District is used to store alot of different things available from a forest center. Cost 48 wood, 12 stones to build. This special district barn allow you to store all the food, tools, herbs, textiles, and it allow you to store wood and fuel. it has a capacity of 12,000 weight to compensate the logs/firewood burden. It is kinda a barn and storage yard in same time.

Woodcutter District: A NMT30 Woodcutter District is used to make firewood from logs. Cost 24 wood, 4 stones to build. This woodcutter district allow you to hire up to 3 woodcutters. A woodcutter district will allow you to chope alot of firewood quicker than usual.


Enjoy !!

oh i forgot to tell :

all the models have been made inside the upper right corner and they all have a road toward south and west...
so if you put a district in the other quarters, please, don't forget to TURN "R" your model so you get the clear path towards roads inside the Forest Center :)

When I placed 1 building I almost had it wrong but I could see it on time to turn the building.

But thanks for the heads up. :)

That wood looks so good with Peaks Valley :)
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: RedKetchup on September 08, 2017, 11:26:52 PM
the thing is i made a medieval apothecary ... but i never never made any : gatherer huts, foresters lodge, nor any cutter yards. ( i did 2-3 hunters though)

so they were buildings that always been missing from NMT.

and since we talked lately to get all forest building in one place... with 1 orange circle...
the occasion was too good :)

Post by: embx61 on September 09, 2017, 03:53:22 PM
Are the buildings semi ghosted?

Not a big deal. All ghosted items currently in the game can be stacked upon each other and if the player wants to create a weird looking tangled poly mesh so be it :)

It is the same with the three story houses were some players decided to emit the first floor.

It is the little drawback of using hacks in the game because the mod kit is too limited to do it another way then ghosted.

The only way I see it can be beneficial to place some ghosted scrubs/plants over each other what sometimes can give a nice effect.

Your grass and flowers from the Garden set are a good example when I made those ghosted :)
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: QueryEverything on September 10, 2017, 08:39:56 PM
@RedKetchup wow, what a neat idea!!  I really like this, I might have to play on a larger map so I can use the larger buildings (you know how I like small ones), but, genuinely - these are really very nice!!

Would love to see the ability to also have your flowers be planted as well, like fields etc.  I know we spoke about it before - I just think they're pretty :D  They could really add something to a lovely field setup. 

*sits on hands
I won't say another word about that today

But, I think this idea of a mix n match set is excellent, I look forward to trialling it!!
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: embx61 on September 10, 2017, 08:42:02 PM
You mean Reds flowers from the Garden Utility Mod?

If so they are in my Irrigation Deco addon. Ghosted so you can place them everywhere.
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: QueryEverything on September 10, 2017, 08:44:51 PM
@embx61 which means that I don't have to have a person harvesting them, and they don't take up resources in the barn.
Win/Win, you are a clever chipmunk :D  Thank you, that's fairly awesome too.

I now seem to recall you telling me that previously as well.  I wish my memory would stay put.  hahaha.  It's with my glasses, I swear. ;)
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: embx61 on September 10, 2017, 08:51:51 PM
I made them because I liked the flowers and grass as well and they fit nicely with the irrigation channels what I made them for.
But they can be placed everywhere of course.

I even used them at the Town Hall in the Village Mod. :)

Yeah, I know, you and your glasses are not a good match  :D

doing some fixes for the NMT3,0Series : Forest Center ....

someone told me and reminded me that i forgot to put a trash icon on the districts.... and you can't remove them .....

that is fixed : screenshot 1 : you can see a trash icon on the header of the windows. i placed it there cause in case if people want to remove before it has been built (screenshot 2-3)
i also made sure all the windows (built/not_built_yet/or_being_destroy) are enough large to make the "name of the building" fit in the window and not overwriting the workers spinners.
i also took that opportunity to add all limits to the Forest Center itself since it helping all the districts. (screenshot 1)

i also changed the way the ground is displayed. instead to have a defined footprint (my ground texture i love in Peak's Valley).. i made it to follow the ingame pasture. if happends your pasture texture change (in Peak's Valley or EB GreenValley or even Tom's North??) it should follow it (screen 4-5-6)

i am in the process to add stand alone "non-" district for the people who wished i add those as standalone :) but i ll need to up the production of the Center itself to have people to still wish to use it and use the districts.
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: RedKetchup on September 11, 2017, 05:24:17 AM
of course, the standalones will still follow the pasture textures :)

(Edit: i also added +1 worker to the Forest Center. production should double if you double the workers^^)
Title: Re: RedKetchup work in progress....
Post by: RedKetchup on September 11, 2017, 05:59:58 AM


3.1 UPDATE:
- Added and fixed the Districts with a trash icon for remove purpose.
- Added limits on the Forest Center window and added +1 worker
- Changed the footprint so it follows the pasture footprint depending on the ground texture set you are using.
- made sure all the name of the building fits and not overwrite the workers spinners.
- Added all the districts as standalone for people who wished and asked for. they will have a 6x6 footprint as standalone. the standalone will have a radius of 30, same as vanilla.
- fixed a bug about the forester district that didnt had its 40 tiles radius.

Enjoy !!!

Red... I would love to see a version of this as an iron works. It would have a small mine for iron or coke, a fuel furnace to make fuel (obviously), a smelter to turn ore to iron, a blacksmith for tools, storage... And I can't think of what the 6th district would be.

what is difference between coke and coal ? (in my north america mind: coke always = coke/pepsi or coke = cocaine ^^)

@RedKetchup do I need the latest version of NMT to use these? If I get the latest version, will that be compatible with my old NMT town (the one I did the crop testing on)?

This is wonderful stuff, thanks for your tireless work! :)

Coke is made from coal in the same way that charcoal is made from wood, by heating to burning temperature in the absence of oxygen.

absolutely no need of any NMT other parts


all the NMT parts are standalones and have everything to be fully functional? by itself.

Post by: RedKetchup on September 11, 2017, 09:17:12 PM
for sure i wont make a mining district set up *now* !
i will need to let it simmer (nurture??) in my brain 2nd half (subsconcious) and let it draw some raw models overall concepts ?? ^^ for a couple of weeks like i did for forest center

this can be something along those lines:

back = mountain
3back districts = mining
4front districts = advanced buildings

mining = iron mine/ coal mine/ gold mine/ silver mine/ gems mine
3 mines from a list of 5 poss.

iron mine = iron ore + rocks (drop both in same time)
coal mine = coal + rocks (drop both in same time)
gold mine = gold ore + rocks (drop both in same time)
silver mine = silver ore + rocks (drop both in same time)
gems mine = gems + rocks (drop both in same time)

advanced  buildings = foundry / stone cutyard / furnace / jewel maker / blacksmith / storage yard
4 advanced from a list of 6 poss.

iron ore need to be process to make iron (foundry)
coal no process but can be processed to give coke (furnace?)
gold ore need process to make gold (foundry)
silver ore need process to make silver (foundry)
gems can be added to gold/silver to make jewelry (jewel maker)
rocks can be cut to give the ingame stones (stone cut yard)
iron can be process to get tools (blacksmith)
wood+coal can be process to get charcoal (furnace)
can have also a storage building

the mining center can randomly give iron/rocks every 2, + coal/gold/silver/gems more rarely

this game need + 1 more special map caracter ^^ like $ or & which would be and can be "shared" between buildings like a road  :-X but not allowing to road/walk

EDIT:
so we can have something like that for advanced:

foundry = iron ore + fuel to make iron, gold ore + fuel to make gold, silver ore + fuel to make silver,
stone cutyard  = take rocks and make real ingame stones
furnace  = take coal and make coke, take wood and coal to make charcoal ?
jewel maker = take gold+gems to make jewelry, take silver+gems to make jewelry ?
blacksmith = take wood+iron to make tools, take wood+iron+coal to make steel tools ?, take wood+iron+coke/charcoal to make hardened tools ?
storage yard = can store: iron ore / iron / gold ore / gold / silver ore / silver / gems / jewelry / tools / coal / coke / charcoal ?

Post by: RedKetchup on September 12, 2017, 01:18:18 PM
more my subsconcious think about it... and more i think i ll need to modify that design.

the center is already very very big....
and the districts are way too small for foundry/mine concept 3D mesh.
if you take the ingame mine itself, the mesh has been drawn for a 11x11 footprint...
not sure how big is Disprecancy's mining mod buildings... but i think a 6 tiles foundry is a bit short....

so i dont think i can put 4 districts side by side. what if i put 3 only... and what if i make the Mining Center as the storage building instead ?


i still have to send it back to my subsconcious with that ^^ LOL

they can only be placed inside a Forest Center

you need to put down a forest center. build it. and then you need to "paint" by using the specific "road texture" i provided and once these road built, you can put up to 4 districts (in the 4 corner of the forest center).

yeah but by respect of my work done... i prefer not.
i released standalone district with a 6x6 footprint for the non-Center building. they look exactly same, they take the exact same "visual" space as the districts and it will prevent bad trees clipping.
