Devs are asleep, Post Ponies - Mod for CK2

[Summercat]

WHELP!

GOOD NEWS EVERYPONY! We has a map. I'm working around and messing with the coding for it, but the map is done and done.

No new thread yet, since this happened since my last post and kinda... well, it was a game changer! So I'm doing some more tinkering and my new partner and I will be working together on this. Hopefully, we'll have a nice playable thing by the end of the month, but don't hold me to it!

Well, first of all, I love this idea, I hope you guys keep working on this mod and don't let it die, you have my support.

Second, I have little or no modding skills, but if you're still working on this, I would like to help with any little thing I can.

 

[Clophiroth]

I only know how to do modifiers, history, and simple buildings, events and decisions, but would like to try to help you

Both of you would be welcome! Right now I want to start off the mod *right*. My partner wants to finish polishing the map we're using (Currently it's all flat, no topography), and I want to get the basics of culture and religion set up. If things go well and we power through, we might have an alpha release by the end of the month, as well as a list of features we want to see put into the mod (that's where the two of you can come in.)

It'd be a new thread, though - too much Discord in here.

It's good to see that this mod isn't dead.

I'd be happy to help if and when I can. I do have some modding experience and I've even been working on a MLP mod for both EU3 and MotE. I don’t plan on releasing them though…

But could you PM me with the EU3 one once you finish it? XD

I'm not entirely sure how to do that. It was more of a way to practice modding rather than a proper mod, but it can still be fun to play, even if Equestria is a bit overpowered. Many of the mod's assets are borrowed from the Victoria 2 mod and some from another mod that I forget the name off, but most of the new art and coding is all done by me.

It's also too big to upload directly to the forum. And most of it is the base game's files as I mostly used the “Replace” command.

 

[Clophiroth]

Ok XD If you once get to have a workable, relatively easy to download version, contact me :3

 

[Zenthree]

Oh wow, I feel really bad about almost forgetting this. Between my long trip to England, and having to go back to studies while simultaneously suffering from jet-lag, I completely forgot about all of this. I'm still willing to do some map-work. I can do terrain, rivers, provinces etc. No promises on topography, since it's a nightmare to get right, but I can try. I might get some of that done a bit later, since the weekend is coming and I have time to spare.

Thank the pony-loving gods I uploaded the mod when I did, since my computer has been wiped since then.

Hello, everyone! I'm Summercat's partner! I'd like to report that the map is indeed done to a basic level and that landed_titles has been created. We were working on the history and cutie mark system when we last spoke. The reason I am posting, as I personally didn't want to, is that we haven't worked in about a week. Summercat was assailed by a major headache after coming back from Fallout: Las Pegasus. While I do hope that he is okay, I do want to continue production. We were using a website for our coordination and file sharing.

For those who would like to help, send me a PM and I'll invite you to join the group (the site is funky like that, you can't just join it forces me to invite, argh).

And, as a show of good will that I'm not lying, here is the link to our most up to date build: http://www.bigtent.com/usr/files/76451710_2_00_MLP4CKII_-_Alpha_-_V_0_1_1.rar

EDIT: Removed a bit that is unnecessary.

It's looking good so far. Personally I think that some of the names need changing as isn't this is supposed to be before Celestia and Luna? For example changing Ponyville to something else, Granny Smith isn't over 1000 years old after all.

Also I've put together some fags based on the show that you can use.

Also anypony. The mod won´t open because a typo in the .mod file. Everypony interested change *user_dir = "equestrian_war\temp_files"* for *user_dir = "equestrian_war"*.

Any word as of yet as to where the precursors of Luna's Royal Guard would fit in? They seem to be a pretty distinct if extremely rare ethnic group of ponies.

I figured it was a cosmetic illusion. They don't really seem to fit in anywhere.

Also holy guacamole this is still alive, I'd be willing to help but I'd be best suited for grunt work, point me at something simple that needs doing and I'll do it.

Personally I've always thought of Luna's Royal Guard being ordinary ponies/guards that had a spell put on them by either Luna or Nightmare Moon. I do wander what will happen with the Crystal Ponies, they at least deserve their own culture group.

 

[Zorlond]

Well, nothing canon about Luna's Guard, AFAIK, but I have seen fan-fic that assumed that they were their own race of ponies that sided with Nightmare Moon, and were nearly wiped out during that war... *shrug* Best possibility I've seen so far.

Friendship is magic push !

 

[Hyena Dandy]

Can I make a small request for the mod? Since obviously there will be mucking around with traits, I'd really like to avoid, if possible, taking out the homosexual trait.

This isn't because I like to think about gay pony sex, but I figure that there is going to be sex in this version of Equestria anyway, so I'd like to avoid having it taken out. I would feel rather hurt and insulted.

Why would we take that out? That'd be an insult to Rainbow Dash! (I joke) I might actually make a few special events for that. Now that you've got me thinking about that, I'm contemplating an event where two homosexual lovers (if they meet other requirements such as kind or nurturing for example) they try and use magic to have children.

On the note of Luna's royal guard, I believe I know what you are referring to. You are speaking about those ponies with large canines, slit eyes, and frayed ear tips? If so, that could be an event chain where any ruler with a high piety in a corrupted harmony religion can form the new race. An interesting thought. If you are not talking about those ponies, please point me in the right direction. I want to know!

On the note of the provinces needing name changes, that is a remnant from before I joined the project. I had originally been going solo at this. Then I was pointed to this thread and we merged our projects. Mine was set in a different timeline (Search "Equestria Divided" on deviantart). That is what is up with the messed up names. I will get to fixing that.

All of these things will be thought over and dealt with. At the moment I am trying to better coordinate our group, half of our members do not have Skype, making it hard to communicate quickly. I'm working on that now, but it takes time.

 

[Tirenedon]

You've got Luna's Royal Guard right. They don't appear to have large canines in the show but they do have bat-like wings.

Are you planning on also making the map bigger? The ones earlier in the thread covered a larger world than a somewhat small-scale eastern Equestria.
