Well, the title says it all. Have you ever seen any Civil War mods? Scratch that, any period 1800 - 1900 mod? I would like to suggest a mod from this time period because of the fact their are too many good RPG medieval mods out there. There doesn't need to be more time wasted on making mods which already have good content and are updated all the time. We don't, however have anything remotely similar to a Civil War era mod. If someone were to partake in this endeavor I would like to list out some possible things for them to do. (Believe me I know how hard it is to do some of these things, but I'm to busy, and just want to put these things out there)
-Muskets
-Towns which could be used to recruit people into your "army"
-Possible cities or camps belonging to one faction or another
-And other armor, weapons, or things relating to that era.
Do you have a time when you would like it to be done? I could work on it, but only on the weekends, and ive only made one mod before.
EDIT: and does it need to be for forge or independent
Nope, by summertime or June 1st I would like a "First stable build" But I know its a lot to ask so I would just like to get it done sometime. I could help slightly like maybe 1 hour a week... I know thats not a lot at all but maybe I could help get the word out about it in a "Mod showcase" or something but thanks for applying to help!
If you'd like to, I'd gladly include your textures. My "musket" texture looks more like a dog bomb. I started working on it yesterday, and I'll try as hard as I can to get it done by then =D Right now i've got a musket, musket ball, and a "Commander's house" that randomly spawns.If you want me to do it
I was working today and felt I should tell you what progress I have so far.
I have muskets and a revolver. Combining a barrel, revolver and stock in crafting table gives you a musket. These guns shoot a projectile that travels at 5x the speed of a fully drawn arrow. The revolver does not require you to "draw back" or aim it like a bow, although the musket does. Musket balls are invisible.
Camps are definitly still a WIP. all I have so far is one tent, and I have yet to find it in the world. However, when done, camps will include a barracks, hospital, tents and a commander's tent that spawn exactly like a NPC village. As I have yet to find a camp, I am unsure as to whether soldiers spawn in them. I have only started work on Union Camps.
Soldiers are near complete. They spawn with armor (Union armor at the time, I have not started work on anything confederate) and muskets, and doctors spawn with red apples and no armor. The last thing I will add on this mod is the ability to hire them and such.
Armor is just cloth. Putting a blue wool in the crafting grid gives you blue cloth (again, no confederate yet) and blue cloth can be crafted into Union armor. I am making textures as I type this.
If there is anything you'd like to change, any textures you'd like to submit, anything, feel free to =D
updated to 1.5.2, finished crafting. Wierd bug where soldiers spawn with a villager model, probably caused by inheriting EntityVillager. Looking into problem now.
Thanks! Great job so far but if you feel like you've gotten enough done on it so far that you could release a stable build to the forums that would be awesome!

Do you know anybody who could help? I am stuck on the GUI for the soldier
Hmmm... I could try and get some more support I suppose by updating this post more but I could ask around too.
I could (if you wanted) send you a list of about 100 or so names of soldiers and their ranks so that the soldiers could have nameplates with their names on them. For example: Pvt. Jones, Lt. Smith, ect. Also I think the uniforms should have the soldiers ranks on them if possible. I will ask around for more people though to help you with the GUI.

I would love to add that, but I think I need to work on getting camps to spawn and being able to recruit troops first.

never mind the gui help. Im just going to make a coin that you can right click on the soldier to hire him, and he will follow you around after that.
Alright sounds good to me... or if instead of a coin have like an "enlistment document" but coin also sounds good, and if you could provide screenshots to me that would be great too!!!

I have found somebody to do textures. As soon as he gets me some textures I will create a thread and put up screenshots. Otherwise you would look at the screenshots and be like "is that a wood musket or is that a pile of.... waste.?" Haha
lol thanks, but you could just give me the link and then I'll tell you whether the textures should be changed from there. By the way are you going to minecon since its on the east coast? I've been to the past two and its a lot of fun. If you can go I hope to see you there!
i could make it so you could go to trade area of villagers then click on a musket icon then shows age type (butcher preist etc.) and name (mr jones mr smith etc) then 2 buttons recruit and forget about it (preists dont like fighting) and maybe have a name like sgt smith etc but like enemys names red your teams names green if u click on a soldier right click you can click promote to ........................
im not good at coding (in fact i dont at all and never have and you can make it if u want but i can find out but i can make textures!!!!)
