The fame of those twin brothers extends throughout Ulthuan and into the lands beyond. The tentative release date is the 15th of April.Among the High Elves the names of Tyrion and Teclis are spoken with hushed respect. For those interested, I already set up a public GitHub repo. Once I’ve settled in in Melbourne, I’ll start with the actual coding. He should be able to give me the exact requirements and until March I will do research on how to best approach the program. This Sunday, my brother will come over to my place to discuss the launcher (and watch The Force Awakens). For a year, I’ve successfully procrastinated on the project, but not this year. (But to be fair I said that a year ago.) The main challenge is to just sit down and start. I don’t expect coding the launcher to be difficult. It’s been sitting in my gmail inbox since February. My brother already designed the background image for the launcher. Start Imperial Splendour: A link to the Empire: Total War launcher (to start the game).Remove Files: to move the mod files out of the Empire: Total War filder (it uninstalls the mod).Move Files: to move the mod files into the Empire: Total War folder (it “installs” the mod).I’m supposed to write a GUI with three buttons: It’s actually a pretty small job, as far as I can tell. There’s finals in January and I’m moving to Melbourne right after the exams. Now, a year after my brother first asked me to help him out, I’m finally committing to starting. Also, my programming skills were definitely not as good as thought. What I didn’t expect was that I actually had to do some work, both for work and university. It sounded like a fun little project and shouldn’t take too long. Pretty much as soon as I started my CS degree, my brother asked me to write a launcher for his mod. There is only one problem: None of them know how to code. To add the military uniforms to the game, the modders need to draw them from scratch pixel by pixel.
But that’s not even the most impressive part. He and his modding buddies somehow manage to find historically accurate info on anything from that era. Everything from who was part of the council of George III to the uniforms of some obscure Prussian army unit. Since then he’s spent all his free time researching 18th century politics and warfare. While I do consider myself a nerd, my brother is in a completely different league.Ībout 5 years ago he somehow got involved in the Empire: Total War modding scene. You’d think that since my brother is a lawyer and I’m a computer science student he would be way cooler than me. This post is the intro to my entry for the 2016 One Side Project Challenge.
