I am trying to get back to the modding world.

[RedKetchup]

So my plan now is :

Release RK Editor's Choice 1.4 in a week or 2 with:

All Toolbar Icons are now direct in the game toolbars; no more communauty icon, nor "RK" icon. saving 2 clicks.
Installation of the new Limits exclusive to RKEC. No more limits lost for CC compatibility. a strong gain, more control.
Replaced the 1st stone texture of Multistory housing by a new one, and deleted the last one (wood).
Replaced the 1st stone texture of the Canal Set by the new one and deleted the last 2 (darkstone and wood).
Added a new set on NMT Little housing with a new set of textures (12 textures).
Added a new set of Colorful Little House (the one with 2 floors) with a new set of textures (12 textures).
New butcher / smoked / dried / salted meat recipes.
Did cut by half the amount of meat per drop but doubled amount of drops from killing animals.
Made sure all the resources have been set for the new limits, and the buldings to accept those.
Added Saltpeter to the Saltmine. Added Sulfur Ore to the Random Quarry. Added Tin Ore to the Iron Mine and Random Mine.
Added new Foundry recipe to create Bronze from Copper Ore and Tin Ore.
New Sulfur and Tin deposits on the ground as you create the map.

But all those new resources : Sulfur Ore, Tin Ore, Bronze Bar and Saltpeter will be only for sell till you get the new Expansion Pack for RKEC named: RKEC: Evolution incoming in the next months.

Cooperage, Gunpowder House, Gunsmith Artillery, ChooChoo, Grain Silo, and a lot of new chain of things based on the Bronze Technology will be part of the incomming RKEC: Evolution expansion Pack.

The New incomming RKEC: Evolution Expansion pack will require RK Editor's Choice installed and enabled to be effective.

PS. If i forgot something or adding more... i ll edit this post.

Also i am still figuring out a certain kind of Evolution of our settlement, timeline and citizenkind (to not say humankind^^) from stone age to bronze age and to iron age... ect... adding a lot of depth to the game.

I have an idea of how i will proceed due to the limitations of the game.

[RedKetchup]

oh i forgot to post the new resources : Tin Deposits, Tin Ore and Bronze bars

Tin Ore in stockpile

I started to play RKEC 1.4 for the first time

RKEC 1.4 First time

[RedKetchup]

While playing i am still fixing things ... i replaced all the Limit icons by new good resolutions icons no more anything blurry.

New Icons

I like those new icons.

For RKEC 1.4 i made also bigger maps.

Originally, the mini map was 192 pixels by 192 pixels.

I changed it. i always found it too small, i had hard to see anything in it so...
This one i made it 256x256 pixels. it is better.

Then i made 2 more versions of it, Larger and Huge.

Larger is 512x512 (double of the new normal one) and
Huge is 768x768 (which is value of Larger + Normal)

I also changed the icons on the toolbar.

You can see the results in the screenshot.

Bigger Maps

For RKEC 1.4 i also added 2 new wild trees in the forest at the map generator

A cedar and another one i forgot the name since 7 years ^^

They look like this

Trying to rig something, a new animal

really really not easy and super annoying /shrug

trying hard lol

[RedKetchup]

Now i need to learn how to apply the skin of the animal to this skeleton (bones)
in order to have the parts of the animal following the boxes i'll be moving when i will try to animate it.

skeleton made

[Necrolex]

Wow! That fox is REALLY cool!

[RedKetchup]

i progress very very slowly to learn .... super hyper frustrating when you dont know what you are doing lol

got it made look to the right, then to the left... than 2nd idle checking ground to eat herb (or snif ground) ... but struggles with the walking part ^^

and then i wish to see the fox doing it but .... after lost 1 hr 1/2 i never succeeded to see my fox back

I've got to entirely hard reset my 3dsmax preferences...
I closed everything . i guess i will have to redo.

Rigging is fun, but making the anims is very painful

48 sec mp4

[RedKetchup]

lol i took 2-3 hrs to clean and organize everything i had on Google Drive and Mega Storage drive.
specially Google had so much stuff useless now like multiple old version of a tons of files.....

All clean and organized now

I also made sure all my codes are up to date and reuploaded in The Laboratory section of the forum visible and available to everyone who has the minimum rank of "Modder" all my code always been shared to our modders

[RedKetchup]

i still managed to add something to RKEC 1.4 today

I added NMT30 RowHouses set (12 colors) (4 diff sizes each color of row house which can have multiple models each)

This set is incredible.

@RedKetchup I am so glad to see that you are back to modding. Your mods are super. You do deserve a lot of recognition. I am sorry that in the past some people treated you badly.
