[WiP] Rise of the Samurai

The knights I am trying to represent here aren't the normal units used in warfare, these are samurais. To my knowledge samurais never used shields, they only used a smaller sword for blocking called wakizachi. I did not want to implement this so I went with sword blocking, as you can see from the picture in my last post when the samurais are in that stance it means they are blocking. When they're not blocking they'll look like the guy on my profile pic.

 

sorry but, of course they did, not shield like european warriors, but they did... it was usable only one time, it was made of bamboo sticks tied together, it was light and strong, but you know, katanas are not made to be best with one hand fight (... but some were best with this method... )

but here, the problem come from when they charge their attack, blocking and charging look very similar and personnaly, i dont shoot at a blocking knight
i just want you to improve this wonderful mod

 

Maybe you could make your own version : o

 

I believe somebody already made one where they have wooden shields, but they are ninjas but not samurais.

 

its good, but i think maybe you should change the builder into an asian-style farmer with dirty white robes and a hoe or pitchfork maybe? that would make it look more japanese. i could help with that if you wanted

actually wood is moku (もく). there are other elements too like water (すい), fire (か) etc. I know google translate says otherwise, but google translate is wrong

 

You do realize that reply was made almost a year ago. http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_do_you_say_wood_in_Japanese#page1
Was your point to necro my post with "useless" or "wrong" information.

:p

 

i belive the samurai blocked with a double-knife technique (?)

 

y is the zombie zkight head is bigger than the archer body it looks weird?

 

Indeed they did, I believe it's called wakizashi. Spriting this would be near to impossible since I do not have the space available for another blade.

I just noticed that... I'll try to make the head smaller for the next update (that will come after the scripting update).

 

Awsome i love this im gana have to try it out... If i you want i could probably get some people to help you if you want.. But awsome

 

I love the texture you are pro. Plz more
;)

 

I downloaded it, everything fine exept for knight body. you didnt put the sprites in the right order and it makes my knight body invisible. any help here?

 

KAG accepts the old format of sprites and the new one so the order I have works. I'm not entirely sure what you did wrong but it is working on my side.

Thank you! :D

I think I can handle this by myself but thanks anyway!

 

Hmmmmm? I'm used to installing texture packs but I allways Reset my sprites. Maybe I Installed it when my game was open, but i was in the main menu

 

That was probably it, atm you cannot change anything about the game when it is opened or random stuff happens. When the scripting update comes out we will be able to edit sprites even when there's a match going.

 

when is new upade ?

 

The new update will be after the scripting update of KAG

 

Thenks:)

 

look sweet
