Vbros mod packs 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5!

[davidcp94]

Yah, I didn't know it wasn't there.

Only packs 3 and 4 are in the megaglest mods menu, would love to see the rest, it looks like you've done a fantastic job!

[davidcp94]

thanks eliminator, it's working now. But I'm wondering, are the pirates not finished yet, or did I install an outdated version? I downloaded the pack from http://glest.org/glest_board/?topic=5615.msg53408#msg53408, all the pirate faction spawns with is two explosive barrels and one pirate with a cutlass.

Its a bug, there is a patch on first post under Vbros pack 1 to fix it.

[MoLAoS]

I downloaded the vbros packs from the wiki and they are riddled with texture errors. Is there a stable version where all the textures work properly in the viewer?

Or do they work in the game but not the viewer? Its usually 3-4 models per faction that are broken and its almost always the wood texture used for the model that doesn't work properly.

[ElimiNator]

If you download it from SoftHaus.com there should be no errors if you play the game in MG or view the G3Ds in the MG G3D viewer.

If there is pleas post the errors here.

[MoLAoS]

Is there some reason the textures wouldnt work in the regular viewer? I will attempt what you said though.

[ElimiNator]

Yes, MG supports Jpeg and Png so the vanilla glest viewer wont load the textures.

[MoLAoS]

apparently many of the models are not GAE or Glest compatible. Some sort of additional graphical capability in MegaGlest I suppose.

these textures all appear to be tga however so that isn't it.

[ElimiNator]

What pack, faction, and mode is causing problems?

[MoLAoS]

All of them have a few errors. Every faction from all 5 packs.

They all appear to work in the MG viewer though. I checked 1 or more broken ones from each faction in the MG viewer and they worked there.

Is it because the textures are not of a power of two resolution? E.g 32, 64, 256, 512, 1024...
GAE forcably makes you use power of two textures because it helps performance/older graphic cards or whatever, whereas MG and VG don't.

It's a feature not a bug.

I did get that error. But it didn't seem to cause a problem in some other models. Maybe all the texture errors were for the sword models and it just didn't seem like an issue before.

Okay I fixed one of the textures, sort of. I will just resize all the other ones I guess.

Pack 1 updated!

Change log:

Some texture fixes.
Command and select sounds added for pirates and western.

[Hagekura]

Nice update.
btw It would be better make the gatling gun firing speed more rapidly, I think.

Hi I´m new at this Forum but I have already downloaded some mods and joined some online-games...
First of all I apologize for my english.. I hope it isn´t too bad...

I really like the Gauls - nice job (because of the Asterix Characters - more of that plz ) but i found some mistakes and have some suggestions too

The first thing is that you can only produce Obelix and Miraculix - everytime I click to produce Asterix a Miraculix ist produced
The second thing are the doves... I´m not sure what they do - I had the feeling that they sometimes make your troups stronger and sometimes weaker
The third thing is the suggestion that Obelix need more food if you want to produce him cause we all know he is always hungry
And finally it would be nice if the roman-faction from the Megapack would be added because I think it would be more cool if you can play against romans than greeks, crusaders or dark knights

I really would play Vbros Pack 1 and installed it but my Megaglest 3.8.1 Beta 2 says there are no factions in this pack
Somebody got this error too?

[ElimiNator]

Gauls has been re-done and will be uploaded soon.
As for the "no factions" thing you must have extracted it wrong, try downloading it from the in-game download centre.

[Herbstvisage]

Hm i looked at the in-game download-center but there are only Pack 3,4 and 5

[ElimiNator]

Ill have pack 1 and 2 fixed/added.

[ElimiNator]

Pack 1 is up, and I'm working on pack 2, it should be up within a few days.

[Herbstvisage]

Pack 1 isn´t working still
Tomreyn also tried to download

[ElimiNator]

Can you download it, but it just doesn't work?

[Herbstvisage]

Download worked but the game still says error cause there are no factions available

[tomreyn]

Try setting up a custom game using the first pack, as downloaded from the mod menu. You will run into an error message saying that this techtree does not contain any factions.

The techtree validator also does not list any factions (but also doesn't report an error).

The uppermost directory structure of vbros_pack_1 contains the following:

Code: [Select]

INSTALL.txt
maps/
scenarios/
techs/
tilesets/

Apparently this is not just a techtree, and thus all of its parts would need to be packaged separately.

[ElimiNator]

Yes, sorry. I thought I had uploaded the new version with the correct folder structure.
That link will be updated to the correct download today.

[ElimiNator]

It should work now.
