This is a nice mod and i would like to try out but i already have zombie apocalypse mod and superior crafting and more i don't think the great war will be compatibile with it but i will try it anyway :D keep up with the canine work thanks!

Out of curiosity, why is GB Orange?

probably should be closer to tan, not orange

@jonoRig , @w00d - will retexture on next update! it will still be orange but ill add some dirt so it will look like kinda tan  8) or maybe ill make it tan..

@Rannzou - no worrys its fully compatible with the mods you mentioned, cause i also use those mods :P
sometimes when a german raid is over they just turn to zombies lol reminds me of COD zombie mod

have fun, cheers~

Polish army was part of austro-hungarian forces. Poland had hard situation between XIII and early XX century. I suggest to read this:

And this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partitions_of_Poland

@WolfGangPolska
Alright, i read some information about polish in world war 1. it says they didn't participate in war against france and britain but only fought against Russia,

but.. if you want i could add them to Ausria-Hungary's Faction since they're only a branch of the Army. ill add them as unit types. right now the only unit in Austria-Hungary is bosnian infantry.
if you could just name what the polish soldiers are're called ill add them  ;)

Edit: i see they're polish legions sounds badass haha.. so should i add them? your call mate

~Cheers!

@KnightsCross
It's very nice of you :) I'd like to see polish army in your mod ( if you have time of course).

The whole polish army was called "Polish Legions"
So single one will be callee Polish legionnaire
I think ...

@WolfgangPolska
no probs, oh i noticed you're polish  ;D anyways polish legionnaire it is! we'll just do some research on their uniforms and add them ASAP. btw you notice the flag? yes?

if you want.. haha i can make em'

Edit: do they have flag anyway? or they represent Austria-Hungary?
~cheers!

I don't know about flag usage in those days. I know that they had Polish Eagle on uniforms (hats generally) I think they started using polish flag after reborn of country.

@WolfgangPolska
Got it! thanks for the suggestions i think ill continue the work tom.
its like 11pm here

@Bodog999
hmmm strange this just doesn't happen to me ill see what i can do. ill try to play with no other mods
i think it relay on other mods if not. try reinstalling your Rimworld lols :P

@Patrykbono20
so you're saying that polish is also part of france? wich is also part of austria? gotta get more research on that.

EDIT: if you dont mind ill make the polish uniform similar to austria-hungarian soldiers but different helmet ! Here it is!

@bodog999
i think i found the problem.. the mod relys on other mods .. which you dont have. soo this bugs just came up.. fixing it ASAP. (making it stand alone) sorry guys

Quote from: Sam_ on August 16, 2014, 05:41:59 AM
Note: factions are created when the WORLD is created (not the colony) so new factions added will not exist in current saves. To experience new factions you need to either make a new world, or make the same world, using the same seed that your saves use, as this will over ride the factions in current saves and add any new factions. Credits go to Bodog999 for this solution.

My own mod adds factions as well. Quoted above is the solution to play on existing worlds with new factions. Hope this helps.

yep i use "Europe" as the world seed lol

Blue Army in France


@Wolfgang:
* Nie ucz mnie kolego historii :)

Poles fought in most of armies that days. Even in German, and Russian. As I said before, Poles in WWI it's very difficult topic. :)
@Patrykbono20
Nie ucze cię, ale tłumacze "obcym" :) jak było ;).

Sooo, you guys encounter any bugs lately?? report them up so i can fix them on the upcoming update  ;D

~Cheers!

Quick question: Why do you need to remove vanilla factions?
Also towards the end of the war soldiers were equipped with steel helmets to combat head injury by artillery so maybe make different class of helmet that costs a bit more than normal helmets but provide better protection.
Also the Flamethrower was introduced in WW1.

@Axel
if i did not remove them there will be a lot of factions on the game.. since i added 4 factions + vanilla + what you wanted to add. imagine the disaster . but if you want ill make em' stay, your call

not all soldiers really wear steel helmets some time they wear caps. but it depends on the unit class in the game there is 2 types of pawn, infantry wear helmets but officers wear cap, but the french majority wear caps.. i have 2 types of helmet btw (British Helmet,Adrian Helmet, German Helmet (w/ spike on top).
thanks for reminding me of the flamewerfer i forgot to add it :P (will design a realistic fire for it so it will take some time)

~Cheers

Lol. I had fun seeing commandos and raiders trying to survive a zombie raid while the french and brits bombarded the area. So personally i love all of them fighting each other and my colonists running across the field saving whomever they can.

I didnt mean for all of them to wear them but to *maybe* make a class where they have better protection. Although now that i think of it doesnt really matter.

Flames to burn the heathens! *cough* I mean... No no thats actually what I mean :'D

@Axel
Glad you liked the mod! so any suggestions to make the mod better?

News:
Next Update: Tomorrow 9/13/14 Hotfix + new stuffs
Stay tune!

~cheers

Haha love the tank xD

Well KnightsCross if you ever need any textures feel free to send me a PM and i will gladly make any textures you need if i can.

@Axel
Glad you liked the mod! so any suggestions to make the mod better?

Really i would think just some more weapons because I have like 50 of each type already. But let me look into some more weapons that other factions had and see if youll add them.

@Axel
that would be a good idea but please if you can send it ASAP, cause im releasing the update + hotfix tomorrow  :D

Billhook
Brass knuckles
Entrenching tool
Fascine knife
Hatchet
Knife bayonet
Mace
Machete
Pickaxe handle
Push dagger
Spade
Stiletto
Trench raiding club
Trench knife
^these are all melee weapons that were used to raid trenches (i believe i read somewhere that they're coming in alpha 7?)
as for handguns (keep in mind a lot of them were revolvers) there's:
Colts (americans used these alot)
Mannlicher M1901
Rast M1898
Nagant M1895
Star M14
Savage M1907
Frommer Stop (probably the most badass pistol on the list. they sometimes used two as a double barrel machine gun on a tripod. Cant get any better than that!)
Nambu
As i said before many of these are revolvers so they all look very similar so you may want to just put in a couple to make it seem like theres variants.

Lets go for rifles now:
Remington M8
French Lebel
French Berthier
U.S. Springfield
Winchester M1910
Jezail (although i feel like this should be a craftable weapon because of its history)
Elephant gun. Because fuck it. They were actually used in the beginning of the war.

Snipers
Couldnt really find anything on them other than they were basic rifles with greater range and a scope.

Light machine guns
Again not much found that i already didnt give you. although i would like to see Maxims and MG's like the 08 and 18 being mountable turrets.

and thats really all i got. good luck with your new work :D

I don't believe there were any specialised sniper rifle until around the vietnam war. At least there aren't any I'm aware of since snipers in WW1/2 were standard bolt action rifles with a scope.

@Axel
i dont think ill be adding melee weapons for a while lets wait for alpha 7 alright,
also in handguns.. but ill be adding 2 rifles those are the french lebel & Winchester since we already got 2 kinds of rifles in the game about the LMG i already added a maxim 08 its a manned turret yep research the earlyWW1Era to gain access to ww1 support artillery

~Cheers

Hmm...Interesting

just like to state for the record on that America request, they we're a late war entry excluding the use of volunteer pilots and planes for most of the war  ;)

On another note I would love to see the Ruskies added in both the White and Red russians since the The Great Revolution(i think it was called) was taking place around the same time  ;D

i dont really plan to add the americans :( sorry, but
i plan to add the russians to the mod ill put 2 kind of pawns to them :D i think they'll be in version 1.2

~Cheers!

Is there any way to download just the tanks?

What my idea's are right now is to wait until the updates slow down, so I don't have to create new worlds over and over again.

After playing a bit I think it might be best if you tinker with the range values, its a little annoying having Bolt action rifles getting out ranged by dirty natives with they're short bows  ??? just a thought. gonna be tryin 1.1 now  ;D

it just occurred to me! you should add the Ottomans  ;D they could replace the natives as a faction

Suggestion - artillery strike weapon e.g. a pair of binoculars that have large cool down but that rain death from the heavens on your enemy.

cool down would be 30 secs or similar (for cannon reload)

Ill take that as no..

@Zeta Omega
i dont think its possible, cause the tanks rely on the factions in the mod.. without the mod they wont spawn in the game.. or maybe will spam some error... Edit: what's your plan with the tanks anyway?

@Gypsypie
allright will rebalance some things on the next update
alright ottomans it is!

@Ptolisgoodguy
so you're saying a binoculars with the ability to call artillery support? hmm
i need to learn more on C# if i'm going to add those :D . but ill try! thanks for the suggestion.

@iWillbeNicetoU
no problem with that mate, i just rushed the update cause by the time i release the mod
i encounter a lot of bugs.. but in the next update in 1.1.1 i will be adding a lot of stuffs so it will take some time before the next update..

~Cheers~

Because I'm planning on updating everything, so I have to start fresh, so I decided to update everything and start playing...

Eh until someone takes updating the mechatronics mod into their own hands, tanks are the next best thing....Hmm..now im curious who would win a centipede or a tank...

@Zeta Omega
ah that one.. i took the idea from the mechatronics, the tank is still in development cause it uses centipede's body parts lol . im really just having a rough time making its body parts.. although its sound fx is redone .. about its weapon.. i rebalance it.. so it depends who will win centipede or the tank...

~cheers

You know the mod maker gave permission for people to do with they want with mechatronics. Could you possibly make your own so people could enjoy it again?  Think about it....Just a tank and a centipede hanging out, talking, Shooting and murdering stuff

@Zeta Omega
are you saying that i add it here? or revive the mod?
well i can revive it, yes.. but its just i'm focusing on improving "the great war" mod..
but ill check it if i had the time. who knows someone might already be working on it

All im asking is for it to be revived...and updated to be able to create scythers to, But by all means, focus on your war mod I think its an amazing mod.

hey, so i kinda noticed that you have the same barbwire, or looks really similar to and acts the same as the one used in the Realistic Weapon's Fortifications Pack, you could probably use the trenches from that pack(pending approval from the moderator) or do you plan on making your own model just out of curiosity?

@Zeta Omega
ill try to work on it if i had the time
right now once i figure out how to make the tank controlable for your colony
ill do the same to the mechatronics since thats what the mod is ~cheers

@Gypsypie
yeah it kinda looks like the same as fortification mod but its not the same .
i plan to add damage to the barbwire, when a pawn gets near it and able the tanks to destroy it when they pass..

about the trench (no offense to RWFP) but i dont like the looks of the trench :P i plan to make my own and make it a bit 3d so it will look more like a trench.. ~cheers

ah, well that will definitely be cool to see, specially if you make mortar and MG Pits that can have turrets, guns, and mortars built on them for added protection to the emplacement  ;D

@gypsypie
let's see if we can add those ~Cheers

EDIT: I have added the trench and the ottomans.. next progress russian empire

Can you make it so we don't have to download it from nexus so that the mod is free?

Yeah, I agree. It looks like the colonists are standing on top of the trench instead of inside it. :P

@joboling
the mod is downloadable in nexus and its totaly free, all you need to do is go to the download
look for "files" click it and it will show the files download the latest version ~ cheers

@Iwillbenicetou
you can see the trench  in the 1st page at the title of the game , let me know if it fits the trench we know. or do i still have to redo it ~cheers

I concur on that notion.

Anyway if you'd like I don't mind doing a little R&D for ya in my spare time just PM me any specific areas you'd like more info on and I'll do what I can to help! ^_^  WW1 is one of my favorite era's for RTS styled games, next to WW2, but i have CloseCombat for that as well as HOI  ;D

@Gypsypie
Very well then, you know you can join the mod team we are actually looking for researchers and good in history like WW1, why not hop in to the team? you fit the position anyway. tell me if interested

If you guys need any texturing/sprites done, hit me up. My forte is weapons/apparel, especially with camo patterns. Shoot me a message, I've done a bit of work around the forums I could show you.

@clayton
thanks for the offer clayton, but im actually looking for a permanent member of the team i dont like getting things from the outside but thanks if you're somewhat interested on joining the team PM me
~cheers

@Gypsypie
alright, welcome aboard ! so lets begin your entrance research to the team PM me the research you have made we should avoid talking in here.. so what i need is "listed below" (for now)
-Russian Empire
-Uniforms
-Army, division, regiments names (ex: 1st russian corps)
-summarized backstory
if you can handle this research welcome to the team!
~cheers

How i can graft Tanks? Needed it somesort warfactory, but i cant find it when im playing with this mod

@DarkTemparlord
sorry about that , tank is still under development and i'm still finding a way for people to be able to control it

~cheers

I found a typo with the British empire info text on the factions over view it says "One of the central power in Europe. The the British empire."

So i have a request. Its more ww2 themed vut the idea suits it better than whats currently implemented. Changing the droppods to parachutes so it looks like supply drops and it would make the pawns look like they are parachuting down.

Makes perfect sense. +1

@Axel
Good idea or should i say great idea, ill start working on that ~cheers

@ezey11
updated all the faction's description in the version 1.1.1 stay tune on its release ~cheers

Also another neat idea would be to use names of known figures during world war 1. You know this way i can maybe find a Private Hitler who has a 12 in art but has the bloodthirsty and volatile traits

Mind if I get a change log?

The chance of getting him would be very rare. Maybe find a way to make sure he only spawns once?

Well from my theory name banks work in the sense that the pawn generator picks out a first and last name. So there will be many Adolf Hitlers if theres only Adolf and Bob in first name and Hitler as the obly last name. Thus 50% of the time Adolf Hitler pawns are created. But say we add 49 more last names for a total of 50 then theres a 1% chance. Like wise we add 148 more first names theres an even slimmer chance that adolf hitler appears. Even less so if Adolf Hitler should have certain traits to.make him be the Adolf Hitler with traits requested. Its all really a luck of the draw and the likely of me getting said adolf hitler would be like 1 in several thousands (that is if theres 150 first names and 50 lastnames)
But thats just my theory. Might be wrong.

@Axel
just to be clear the mod is in world war 1, not world war 2 :P so no hitler lol, but if you insist.. i dont know though i plan to make it historically accurate but with hitler around err..

@BetaSpectre
uhm can you be more specific about what you are talking about

~cheers

Hitler was in WW1. Not as a big name as he is in WW2 but he was still in it. It was part of the reason why he rose to power so fast. But he was more of an example. What i was trying to get at was to make a namebank for each faction based on names of real people who were in the war like generals and commanders. Just to add more realism.

Hitler stayed in the supply lines of WW1
Almost got sniped by an Englishman but he was downed and basically shitting his pants so the Gentleman let Hitler go.

Anyway: I want there to be a version history/Change log so I can see what each version of the mod does/changes it also lets me see progression of the mod. Its nice to know these things, and sometimes a changelog is better at recording what the mod offers or will offer.

Sometimes older versions are better/more fun due to not being too complicated or mod conflity

like to add, Hitler was apart of WW1 in a Bavarian company 1914-1918 when he was temp blinded by an exploding shell and lost his voice to mustard gas being hospitalized at Pasewalk till the end of the war

@Axel
alright ill try, i haven't figure out the naming of pawns yet only the factions
and also why do you want historical people on the mod if they're going to die and rot anyway?
maybe for your colony? yes?

@BetaSpectre
alright will do it as soon as i have free time reviewing the mod

@Gypsypie
i plan to make a trailer for the mod lels what do you say  8)

Yes :)
Its going to be like pokemon where I have to capture them and train them to be the very best that way they can kill all the zombies and commandos Randy thinks of throwing at me :D

The voting for "remove vanilla factions" will be closed on 9/20/14
please vote if you still haven't vote yet..

*Changelog has been added check the bottom of the mod details below screenshots for the version history

Hi,

is there a Way to download it without register and paying? Pretty annoying..

Nexus doesnt require you to pay. Its a free service.

It's ok, Nexus is very pay heavy, just look around. It took me a while before I could get an account.

due to some of you having trouble with nexus,
i posted an image instructions on how to download the mod

~cheers

Excuse me but can you host another site since nexus is junk for me since it is not registering for me and expects me to validate a faulty code.

@joshy1111
did you follow the instructions on how to download with nexus? if still cant.. alright ill upload it somewhere else once i released version 1.1.1 . but if you have the chance keep on trying in nexus i really need the download count in there.. its like my salary for the mod :P

~cheers

when is the next update? and will there be dogs? :o

Yay, I made Realistic Weaponry patch for The great War mod :) (For those who use Realistic Weapons V1.2 mod by @AY along with the great war)
It's still very alpha, so report any issues and balance suggestions for me in PM.
See attachment for download.
Edit: For Install just copy thing defs file into mod folder.

[attachment deleted by admin: too old]

@WolfgangPolska
wow, thats nice haha but get your mod ready for TGW 1.1.1 i added more weapons
~cheers

Just a note: Some of the vanilla factions, from my experience, can't be removed.

@evul
you can. by overwriting the factiondefs and making its
<requiredCountAtGameStart>1</requiredCountAtGameStart> to "0" making it "0" will result not to show in the game. its default is 1  ;D

Edit: Armored car added
(http://s23.postimg.org/yh91usblz/Armored_Car_back.png)

I read one of your comments on another mod post about manned turrets/MG, if you need some of the code for one you can take it out of my mod, Modernization, it's pretty simple and should be easy to read/edit. I have everything organized too.
http://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=6281

@Demo
already finished with the manned turrets, but thanks for the offer!
~cheers

I did try to register then it bugged out because I verified that was not a robot and it was wrong but now it is saying I registered when I did not.

@Joshy1111
uhm.. i'm sorry what? register on what sir?

TGW 1.1.1 has just been released check the forum for more info

Its been a while since I checked this mod out, Have you made tanks yet? also saw the armored car thing that's cool.

@Zeta Omega
yeah the tanks are in the game but not playable

no dogs!?!? wtf! just kidding but i hope the dogs are added in the next update..... please? the only dog mod of rimworld is alpha 3! 3!!! i hope you start working on that (not trying to be mean about it  though..) soon.

@noahdaorkyboy
woah, chill your horses there mate! im currently working on it right now. and im having a rough time though.. haha stay tune

~cheers

Did you remove factions already? :0

Please change the download somewhere else like mediafire or 4sharedfiles because is anoyng they will ask you to register :/

@Axel
yes i did

@Romi
its not really that hard to register in nexus, and i really recommend nexus as mod hosting site.
but sure ok ill create a new mirror on the next update

Ok. Cause i couldnt find the tribals. Lol.

 i already did made an account but you should add another mirror for new members think about it.Exemples: Mediafire,dropbox,4 shared.Hope i helped!Keep up amazing work!

Alright.. *sigh* for the sake of other people will upload a mirror on the next update

~cheers

Ok cool but it would be awesome if you could add in the mod dogs or other pets.You know like a little help is never bad.And they can patrol and guard your colony.Wouldn't be nice?

@Romi
dont worry dogs/ k9 are my priority right now will not release next update without them..
~cheers

Edit: i need help with someone good on dll, cause im really having a rough time with dogs ...
some one can handle this?

Well thanks for reply!Oh and i don't know someone good on dll :( Well wish you luck!See ya.

You might want to look into the k9 mod from alpha 5. Maybe you can find useful tidbits. Also will we be seeing melee weapons now :'D

Well is this awesome mod gonna get updated to alpha 7? can't wait to play it!

@axel
i have checked the file.. it has loads of dll which i dont even know anything with.. i need to learn
C# but im doing my best with the k9

@Romi
stay tune and keep updated!

~cheers

Oh well that sucks. But lets hope for the best :D

Yeah we want all factions man :D the harder the game is the more funny is!

i think for now i should return the tribal

The Great war now optimized for alpha 7 + some minor updates

Knight Cross you are an awesome modder!Kep up good work

Radio tower? :0 sounds great.
I wonder, do the factions appear on the world map?

@Romi
Thanks! that somewhat cleanses my stress remaking the whole mod.. in able for it to be compatible with alpha 7 haha! thanks for feedback

@Axel
yes they do appear in the world map marked with red circle!

~cheers!

Cool. Well off to burn the heathens :D

Bonjour! everyone id like you to do something for me.. theres a typo in the tank.. which makes them to use the nebelwerfer which is seriously bad for you..

first go here
RimWorld\Mods\The Great War 7.1.2\Defs\ThingDefs
open the file TGWGuns with notepad
and look for "nebelwerfer" find its weapon tags and change "tank" to "Nebelwerfer"


~cheers!!

*bump*
Hope you add more or something...

I'm about to learn C# and xml, so I'll take over his mod. He made a mistake in making a research project 20000, and 8000. I think it should be 2000 and 800

What a great mod! There were only few things those bother me, which are the gasmasks, and the russian uniforms. Their outline is somewhat rough and it doesn't really fit in. That is a great mod, you are a great person, and Rimworld is simply awesome game, so i wish that you can fix that. Not forcing you, just a pretty please  :)

he's gone  :'( . Look at the previous comments D:

It breaks Mechanical Defence mod 2 :(

When comes a update to alpha 8

i hope this gets updated to alpha 8 sometime

Hey Guys! sorry i was away for some time.. well been busy.. anyways! i apologize for this but i dont feel on continuing the mod any longer :( so basically its DEAD D:

for all modders out there
im giving you guys permission to continue my work :D it would be nice and id be thankful really for continuing my hard work :3 well as i said you guys have my permission.

thanks for your support
~cheers

I'm not sure of my skill in modding rimworld(only paradox and bethesda games :P),but i COULD try updating it to B18,no promises,and no new content/fixes.
As i said,i'm not sure as i only create mods for myself usually,and struggle in the texture and graphics part.So the chance i manage to update it is probably closer to 5%.

Edit:nevermind 500+ lines of errors broke all of my hopes after the 21st or 22nd try and hours and hours of trying to change the code without breaking everything.
