Screenshots of the New Version:

I may use it for camp entrenchment as well :wink:
- Winternor Castle, of which I am close to finishing

Spoiler: click to toggle

- I have added in some awesome models from the Brytenwalda team and they fit very well with the Karkans. This will finally stop the fact that tribes are running around with linen/cloth pants. All up it is 7 new pieces of body armor and the boar head

A big thanks to Idibil and the team for permission to use these models.
- After obtaining permission to use some models from Song of Talesin I have set about adding them in, this offers more opputunity for scene editing for the outposts script.

These last ones were made by Nordous, a new scene editor in my team.
Tabuka Island: right now it is just for multiplayer but I have plans for its use in singleplayer

Here are some screenshots of some of the cool new textures added:
The grass is from painbringer but I thought his was too bright for the part so I have edited it heavily.

Some new sky-boxes thanks to sendmesmile

This is a native castle that I thought showed off the new improved buildings textures perfectly (also by sendmesmile)

If you look around some of the native castles can be really good.

I like them, except for that tent, it is far too stiff, it looks like it's made out of cardboard. Adding a bit of sag to the canvas would improve it IMHO.

[Crossbow Joe]

I see what you mean. But the hide tents are indeed fitting and very well done.
If I can learn to make collision meshes then I'll be making my own scene props. But I can indeed change it to be less stiff.

[Marcus]

The hide tents are good, but the canvas tent isn't.

Screenshots updated, I have managed to get a few people helping out with my mod and they are doing a fantastic job ,
They are all scene editors but one of them I am teaching how to model too, he has already come up with a great two handed sword.

I am doing 'a fantastic job' aren't I.
