*** Codex Iuris Corvinus v0.14 released! ***

[joriandrake]

The first downloadable version (v0.14) of the Codex Iuris Corvinus (CIC) mod is here!​

This version only changes 5 icons in the game's topbar, the economy icon remained the vanilla one till a better one has been created

I wanted to share some of the finished work that you can already use before the finished mod,
and after I closed the 2 polls, here are the first results of the work of the CIC team
(even if i did these alone, as there was no 'team' back then yet :rofl: )


here is the difference between the original icons and the v0.14 CIC ones:

Installing the icons does NOT change the game version (checksum), you can still play together with your friends in a multiplayer game, even if they didn't install CIC v0.14, and even if you use a second (non-graphics related) mod for your campaign



DOWNLOAD THE ZIP: ***HERE***​

Changes you might (yes, lets not be too optimistic or someone drops a mountain on me ) see in the future:

- full interface reworked (including options)

- new army models, around 3-times more of them as in vanilla

- a new symbol for your capitol: a golden wreath

- new loading-screens

- modified/corrected nation colors and flags

- a new map, thanks to the benefitial relations between CIC and Van Diemen's RIMP team,
play in europe with corrected provinces and expand along the true historical river borders (Rhine-Danube) as the mighty Rome!


...

- even later: as the mod grows stronger, it will gain its own event pack and new nation pack

...

- and the "not-so sure expansion (TM)": if i manage to make it happen somehow, we will restore the use of seperate shields and flags for the game, just like you remember them from EU2 or HoI2, you can already see dozens of nice shields in the main CIC thread, what we were unable yet to fully implement as flags, with the restored ingame shields that will become unnecessary...

Hope you enjoy CIC v0.14, please post comments, thoughts, ideas, cash (jk), wishes,
curses into this thread, or into the main Codex Iuris Corvinus thread!
(If you can't post into the mod subforum, just create a thread in the main Rome forum, but please only ONE, not to freak out the moderators )​

Have fun!

Jorian Drake & the CIC team


PS: If you wish you can create a link to the non-english subforums aswell

Then the work was not in vain

[unmerged(17893)]

ohh....someone actually DID post cash :rofl:

Just don`t go and spend it all at once. OK?

 

[joriandrake]

Okay people, i have now a bit more time again to work on this, don't bother to PM me i still have the box full, but comment here on what you would like to see in version 0.22, and how/why, thanks.

 

[Battlecry]

...Why don't you empty your PM box?...
Just a thought...you could delete all the "Sent" items, and then you'd be able to keep other folks' PMs (at least for a time).
Oh and if you want to see the number of downloads, you could upload it to FileFront and use that as the main link, and then keep MediaFire as a mirror.

 

[joriandrake]

...Why don't you empty your PM box?...

i had no time yet to read them, and i freaked out by the amount of the sent mails (very scary, fame is) o

Great, I have been busy with some EU3 things...

 

[joriandrake]

okay, i read/deleted many PM-s, i am eady for the next wave of the invasion

Great, I have been busy with some EU3 things...

yeah, i know, you be busy with MP games




Well, i understand that dev.-ment is now slower, i am the opposite of the majority myself: i have less time per summer than in any other season, but i promish not to give it up

 

[joriandrake]

Attention please!

Because of the upcoming VV expansion I decided to wait with the next CIC version untill I have it, because it has some interface modifications that might need some rework on an unreleased version I currently have on my PC.


Yep, CIC is not dead, as you can read in my former comment I was not aviable during summer, and sadly the team didn't contact me since then neither, so I have to ask the people if they are still willing to continue work together with me, otherwise the "team" will become me, I, and myself.

I didn't check it but i think the 0.14 version is still aviable for download, if not, just tell me and i upload it again.


Cya after VV release!

kind regards,
Jorian Drake

 

[comagoosie]

:rofl:

VV comes around and ruins everything doesn't it

Can you give us sneakpeaks into what the new interface icons in VV will be supplemented with in the next versino of CIC?

 

[unmerged(92421)]

Hang on, this says it changes the map... and then claims it doesn't change the checksum? What kind of desyncing voodoo magic is this?

 

[Cheexsta]

Dark, I think this version only changes a few icons. It's only future versions that will change the map.

I'm quite looking forward to the new models, personall

 

[joriandrake]

:rofl:

yep

Can you give us sneakpeaks into what the new interface icons in VV will be supplemented with in the next versino of CIC?

nope


I have to play the game first to see what an icon/button represents with my own eyes, during use. I don't wish to create a modification what later turns out to be incorect, or the choice not correctly fitting a game option.

Hang on, this says it changes the map... and then claims it doesn't change the checksum? What kind of desyncing voodoo magic is this?

Well, its not a secret that Van Diemen and i talked about a RIMP map that would work for CIC aswell, without firther modifications.

I have stopped to look into the map atm, but will restar this later, however, first i wish to have the whole graph-pack finished to not get confused with multiple tasks :rofl:

v0.14 doesn't change the checksum at all, the listed future changes and includings of CIC are a possibility


I also have to get into contact with the 3D artist i work with, as i didn't hear much from him since summer, so it might be the changed capitol icon might also be different (a green wreath instead of a golden one, as that's the version i have recieved)

As you see it is still a lot of work to do, and I really need to wait for VV to finish the interface


Also, i didn't play Rome for a while, i just reinstalled it.. I hope to get the proper "feeling" of the game and era again to continue Codex Iuris Corvinus


***

btw, i wish to hear proposed events for the later version already now, if you have time for it

the events should be not too specific, as specific ones (for nations and cultures) i work on myself, but you could think about events like that of EU3, where special conditions might trigger it for anyone who archieved it

I also scavenge a bit in other games that have fitting events for this game and era too, like a small number of events from CK. This should give the game a special deja vu feeling that is not TOO big, but enough to add to the flavor.
