Blue Lotus: Total War

[Moros]

I think you're missing the point here, what they mean is that the people that the ninjas kill in the movies are only japanese people, the models for the ninjas isn't the issue.

I usually miss the point. But my post was referring to the first part of the post not the part about the movies.

[beaverprophet]

Ah, in that case, sorry, i thought you were talking about the movies, not just assassins in general :p

[hoggy]

finally finished the intro screen, needs some work and the thanks section isn't finished yet but..:

[DragoonXXIV]

Still it looks wonderful hoggy, I think this Intro really gets to the point of blue lotus, although i wish it also included the other factions. Anyway it's safe to say that we're all impressed with your work and eagerly (some folks a little too eager) await the release of a beta.

oh wow ....Hoggy that is a great piece of art.

Perfect atmosphere. Once again!!

[Revolting Friendship]

Thats awesome Hoggy, you've managed to catch the feel of japanese art well, and I love how you added in the name of the team-members. Two thumbs up for this masterpiece.

[Samurai Fanatic]

wow! Ive never saw druel come out of my mouth at that scale before, now my computers wet. Awsome as always and forever will be.

why is it 1.3 why not 1.5?

[hoggy]

Ok, just a quick update of where we are. Sorry it's been quiet for a while. Basically the conversion to 1.5 has been throwing up problems and in many cases CTD's have occured without show_err picking them up. Currently Dromikaites is trying to work out why our battles won't play without ctd and we hope to get that sorted this weekend. We are onthe case but it's just taking much longer than expected. Thank you to everyone for being patient, we'll get there eventually! :)

[Death_Sheep]

We've been with you this long Hoggykins, we won't string you up yet.



Yet. Just kidding Hoggy, you and your tema keep up the good work. :)

[mike007]

Thanks for the update hoggy, i & im sure everyone else here, really appreciates them.

Good luck with the CTD errors, i hope they can be fixed ok.

[Moros]

yeah goodluck with fixing the CTD's!!!
and nice drawing

[moreb_benhk]

Conversion seems to be a pain for loads of mods. Curses, delays force me to wait longer. Anyhoo, best of luck in that endevour, I eagerly await the outcome.

[Subedei]

Yes, good luck & patience.....Here is anotherone waitin hard for your mod!!!!!

Hello,

I work since now two months on a problem of animation on my mod. I have just discovered that the patch 1.3/1.5 broke the good working of the files of my mod. So, does blue lotus will work with RTW 1.5/1.6? Do you think all errors Dromitakes meet are because 1.3/1.5 patch ? I've notice all actual mods work only with 1.2, it's strange. Why you don't release a 1.2 compatible version before a 1.5/1.6 version ?

Cordially.

[Bar Kochba]

HOggy anynews are there any fixes?

[anti_strunt]

I suppose I'll second that... Any news?

[hoggy]

Quick update. Dromikaites solved the main problem we had with battle crashes so now we're moving onto the rest of the game. Will keep you posted...

good to hear!

[Bar Kochba]

Good to here but any dates?

[Moros]

I don't think they have a date. When porting to another version or fixing bugs you don't know when you will be done. Unexpected things happen.

[hoggy]

The closest we can say really is this summer. Hopefully before MTW2.

[Taurus]

Great piece of artwork there hoggy.

Can't wait for it to be released. gj guys!

can there be any open beta just a bit early like mid april?

[Jahangir]

Hey, you should add tengu to the Demon army. Tengu were bird demon swordsman prevelent in Japanese mythology.

[hoggy]

Ok folks sorry about the long stint with no update. We had a few setbacks putting together a working 1.5 version. We now have a working version of 1.5 thanks to Dromikaites but we need to get a few bits together yet before it's workable enough to go to closed beta testing. Shouldn't be long now though possibly a week or 2. Thanks for your patience guys.

[Avicenna]

Congrats on getting so far with the mod hoggy and everyone else! Is the loading screen based on real Japanese art?

[Burns]

Im glad to see the mod coming along. I cant wait to play it. Now is 1.5 BI or RTW?

[mike007]

Great news Hogg-master-mike! good luck with the testing & keep us posted.

Just a quick question, roughly how big will the open beta file be? Since you've changed so much, im expecting it to be a decent size!

good luck!

[Ypoknons]

1.6 is BI. 1.5 is RTW.
