The Mission - very much a WIP

QuoteWell, I must have some time to breathe too.
Here is Mission V1.1 pre-release.

I will try to check it out tonight, Thanks for your work on this!

Those walls look really good.

For bell sounds, I don't know what can be done but there is a wind sound removal mod here: http://banishedinfo.com/mods/view/627-NoWind

I don't know how it works or if it's possible to replace one sound with another. It would be an interesting addition if it could be done but I do understand that there are many things that can't be done with mods.

About the wind sound -
If I put a church bell like that it will chime all the time.
I think it gets pretty annoying after a while.
I'll check if there is any way to add a sound to the church building.
That way you have to be close to church to hear it.

elemental · September 30, 2016, 12:45:03 AM

No, I didn't mean that you should change the wind sound, that would be very annoying. Just saying that some sound modding does seem to be possible, but I don't know exactly what can be done.

I put the latest version into the game last night, it loaded fine into my Mountain Mission saved game without a problem. The new walls are great, they look especially nice around the grape orchard, matching the wood grape support towers nicely. A half-barrel wine press or something small and similar would look nice, the winery I downloaded with the grapes would be way too big for the mountain setting and would look out of place with mission and poor part of town, but my hungry people are eating the grapes as soon as picked so all is well. The 2 story hostel is a wonderful addition also, it's ready and waiting for nomads. Love the f-key choices for the quiet garden. Thanks again for this wonderful mod.

Regarding church bell, if possible, perhaps a separate bell piece that sounds when near that player could chose to use or not use with the set. I just saw estherhb posted a mission picture in the sightseeing section. There is a rather large separate bell tower in the picture, I asked if it has a bell sound.

kid1293 · September 30, 2016, 03:09:35 PM

Yes, I would love a wine press but there are already grapes in the game.
I want to stay clean and offer only things that don't flag red.

What I know now is that I can not attach a sound to a building like
a church or a bell tower. Tom Sawyer said it is maybe because the game
is limited to a few places where there is a sound.

@Abandoned - I would like some pictures. That's always nice.

Right now I have taken a break from the mission mod but I think of
more buildings. It's the many similar roofs that stops me right now.
But with a gentle hand you can make a nice mission outpost.

A new roof style maybe? Wooden shingles or thatch? Maybe your production buildings could have a different look or colour to avoid everything looking the same. But I do love the consistency that you have created with this mod. The buildings look like they belong together, exactly as they should do. Take a break and think about it. You can be very proud of what you've already done with this.

I wouldn't worry about red flags. Most of the time they aren't a problem.

Thank you for the extra effort, bell sound would have been nice but mod is wonderful as is. I too like the roofs matching, in fact the winery where I got the grapes has a similar colored roof that fits in well although takes up more space than I would have liked. I am just beginning and trying out different mods and what goes well together but I know your Mission will be one of my favorites. After more trial and error I may post pictures. Thank you again.

I follow elemental's advice and take a break.
Thoughts are spinning round so fast right now,
it can be a mess if I continue.
Version 1.1 in download is exactly the same as
the pre-release I had here.

lyonlee · October 04, 2016, 04:06:03 PM

Hi, kid1293.

Mission Blacksmith has only 'Iron Tool' and 'Steel Tool'.
It would be nice if Mission Blacksmith had 'Hardened Tool' too like Colonial Hardware Store.

And why did you add herb?
I couldn't find any difference betweeen your model and BlackLiquid's model.

kid1293 · October 04, 2016, 11:34:32 PM

Yes, for a future update I can add 'hardened tools'.

I must have confused herbs with onions or mushroom. I remember one of them had a
not so nice 'cultured' version. Long time since I used CC stuff.
Anyway - the herbs are there and I want them integrated in mission mod.

If I remember correctly, CC herbs was an add-on?
If you get double of them, don't load their herbs.

elemental · October 05, 2016, 12:11:48 AM

I'm fairly sure the herbs crop is no longer an add-on to CC but has been included as standard. I'm playing with the 6million lettuce add-on so I don't mind an extra herb or two.

kid1293 · October 05, 2016, 07:46:23 AM

@lyonlee - I put Hardened Tools into mission blacksmith.
Version 1.21 is in download. Should be completely safe in a save-game.

I feel rather satisfied with the Mission right now and do not plan to expand.
Bug-fixes and cosmetic tweaking will be done, but for now I think it is
mission accomplished!

Kimbolton · October 05, 2016, 08:16:30 AM

You've done a wonderful job on this. I like it a lot!

lyonlee · October 05, 2016, 06:08:35 PM

Thanks for early update, kid1293.
