[elvain]

WOW!

That's cool :go:

[Kuno]

Wow, that's really great!

Where did you get all these portraits and the artwork from? it looks really cool!:go:

[hunterHun]

it's very fantastic. the political view? :D there ara chines buildings and army?

[Doux]

wangyushi, an amazing job, you're a real maestro (to paraphrase another game)! Would you like to share with us how you made the political map and the start-game map?

[Navatar]

Looks amazing! I already feel the urge to play it :)

[elvain]

o, I have always missed that there is also political map.

could you, wangyushi, please share with us how did you managed to change it?

[patriot]

Amazing!:eek:

[wangyushi]

I want to know the problems that you have in making the political view. I just made a 'copy'.

[Goethicus]

Amazing, amazing and cool to boot! Will the mod link up Europe and East Asia via Central Asia? Or will it focus exclusively on the East?

[wangyushi]

it focus exclusively on the East.

[Hawk Knight]

Nice indeed.

How long did you do on the artwork? As how it looks you must have working on it some time as it istn a very easy job ;)

[wangyushi]

These artworks are made by some chinese Sanguo fans, not mine.

[Godkin]

Sanguo is what we call The Romance of the Three kingdoms in English.

[Bern]

Great. Will this focus on just one dynasty, ect. Or will it have mutliple time periods to start from?

[wangyushi]

It will have mullipe time in future.

[anguille]

This is great...i love China...:go:

[Bern]

Great. Any chance of giving us a few hints at what these time periods may be? :D

[patriot]

Frujins prophecy had finaly occured!!

"BUT, once and IF you master this tool, you can completely change the game and even make "China map" :) "

[Bern]

I've been hoping for Chinese History mods for Knights of Honor. My next goal is to find somebody working on a Sengoku Japan mod for KoH. That would be a miracle! :D

[Doux]

I see you changed font types and implemented characters. I hope there will be a latin alphabet version too?

Again: a great piece of work.

[Carbon]

I can't wait to try this out, but I hope there's an English version:go:

[Doux]

(On: New units) [...]How did you compile the .RLE files?

[wangyushi]

How did you compile the .RLE files?

Modify .img files, replace rle.files with .bmp files.

[elvain]

Modify .img files, replace rle.files with .bmp files.

maybe another stupid question of mine, but how did you open .img files?

[Doux]

Modify .img files, replace rle.files with .bmp files.Well, that's great! I had tried editing the IMG files but never just inserted a BMP in place of the RLE files - so this means, probably, that most RLE files can be replaced by BMP alternatives.
Apart from the image tag, does anything else need altering, like the 'class=' tag?
Edit: I was forgetful - the .BMP/.IMG method was invented on the SF boards (archive) (http://www.goneflowers.de/archive/index.php/t-7740.html) already, by Eagle.

maybe another stupid question of mine, but how did you open .img files?With Notepad, Notepad++ or any plain text editor.

[IWM]

No more news after 3 months?

Wow, those are some really cool units. I especially like the ninja turtles.

You should use a better image hosting provider.

[IWM]

Wow, that is really cool!
Tell me, do you know the estimated date of the release of your mod?

[wangyushi]

Sorry, I also don't know when it is ready.

[IWM]

Don't worry...
It is not that big of problem after all..
Just do your best OK?
Let me recite this song of my school.

[Sultan Osman I]

I must say, that it is very good lookng mod and it will be better I think. :) ;)

[Doux]

Perhaps you can make a background randomizer? All those backgrounds look good! :)

[Karabas Barabas]

WOW wangyushi!!!
This looks amazing

My question is are you going to make only a Chinese version of the mod
I don't think i could play it then... :(

[wangyushi]

We will make an English version.

[Karabas Barabas]

:go:
HUURRRAAAAY!!!
:cheers:

[Goethicus]

Hmm, I'm really looking forward to this, almost as much as I'm looking forward to Knights of Honor II! :)

[wangyushi]

I have no idea about the new city background transparency. :bash:

Who can help me?

pity I can't help, but the city graphics look amazing ;) keep it up :go:

That background seems familiar to me, it's some standard grey-map(?). Did you perhaps take a wrong colour in the picture? Alphachannel? The only thing I would know to do is to compare your image to the original and hopefully find a clue there..

[Doux]

Is there any news on this mod, wangyushi?

[wangyushi]

sorry, no progress!

[elvain]

so sad.

May I just ask if you also have such a mess on your political map? I mean that the names are totally displaced...
do you have any screenshots of your political map?

[wangyushi]

Just like your mod, the names are messed.

[wangyushi]

http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/8522/shot0001qp8.th.jpg (http://img217.imageshack.us/my.php?image=shot0001qp8.jpg)That grey area looks exactly the same as when I tried to let KoH render my new unit (in BMP) without the option 'drawmode=translu' in the .IMG file. What file contains the appearance of the cities? I would like to know.

Edit: Hm, the files seem to be located in \images\structures\Castle\wcastle_%x\ where %x takes the values 1 to 5. There is castle.img - probably you replaced the .rle with a .bmp again so I'd be interested to know if translucency helps here.

Edit (2): Haha, translucency works like a charm (http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/6526/smileytownfrieslandxc6.png).

Edit (3): You might want to take a look at this (http://forums.blackseastudios.com/showthread.php?p=12313#post12313) as well. I hope this was (these were) the barrier(s) that prolonged this mod's completion.

[wangyushi]

You saved all of us again, thanks!:go:

[wangyushi]

I haven't tried this for now.

[elvain]

hey, Wahngyushi, could you, please, share how did you manage to edit RLE files?

[Doux]

hey, Wahngyushi, could you, please, share how did you manage to edit RLE files?From which post did you conclude that wangyushi can edit RLE files? As far as I know, he managed to replace RLE files with bitmap files (using the option drawmode=translu in the IMG file). Note that replacing RLE files by bitmap files hence only works with RLE files that have an accompanying IMG file.

[wangyushi]

Doux, you are right. I just replace RLE files.

[Bulgaroktonos]

wangyushi, couldn't you make a tutorial about replacing .rle files ?

(Maybe with a focus on replacing the rle files of the castles on the campaign map ?)

Thank you in advance

[Doux]

Hey wangyushi, is this mod still in development? Not that I play KoH a lot (understating things..), but this one looked very promising as well.
