We've added a HTC Vive "wand" controllers profile for NMS but it requires you to configure SteamVR controller bindings explicitly, otherwise it won't work. From SteamVR settings, go to controllers, manage controller bindings, set custom, choose another, and search our binding in the community: "Natural Locomotion (Vive Wands)". Then configure the game to use head relative direction and you're good to go.

This update also fixed the buttons and sprinting issues mentioned in the previous announcement which also included a profile for Windows Mixed Reality.

Close and reopen Steam again to make sure you have the latest update.

If you experience problems with buttons or lack of sprinting, the driver may not be properly updated. IN that case follow these steps to ensure it's up to date:

• Close SteamVR.
  
• Reinstall Natural Locomotion. (alternatively you can use "verify integrity of game files")
  
• Open Natural Locomotion without opening SteamVR first.
  
• You only need to follow these steps once. After that you can open it in whichever order you prefer.

Hi guys,

welcome to my first Sons of Valhalla Dev-blog! This month I mainly worked on my online presence. So the Steam page is finally live and you can now also find me on IndieDB and GameJolt.
Besides that I worked on a lot of little things regarding the game and one of them is how I bring life into trees. I'm going to show you how it works in todays dev blog.

First of all, I needed a tree like this one:



This tree is beautiful but if it had some movement it would be even more beautiful to look at. So I took a wind shader from Unity (you can find it in the Lost Crypt demo) to make the tree vibrate.
Because the shader is on the entire tree, the trunk and treetop move at the same time.


Then I decided to divide the tree into individual parts, so I can equip each part with a different wind speed. This will make the tree look more realistic because the entire treetop will not move evenly.


After the split I put the parts back together and gave each part a different wind speed.
I think the result is really impressive.


To make the tree fit into the background, I created a rim color mask for all parts. With the wind shader it is possible to transfer the light color of the scene onto the tree rim and it looks as if light is shining through the rim. Very cool!


Because the tree sometimes loses a few leaves, we definitely had to have a particle effect here.


The end result is highly impressive, right?


That's how I make trees dancing in Sons of Valhalla! If you haven't already, please add SOV to your wishlist. I'd really appreciate your support!

See you in the next dev blog episode!

Hi there,

I thought i'd post a post to make sure everyone knows I am still on track and to inform people about my short abscence during the birth and after of our baby!

Progress
So, progress on the SP (single player) sliver is going well. I've added a few in editor screens to show where this is going. I have the main track of the first bit of this level figured out and the rough outline of what I want to happen in the SP sliver. Basically it will be the first 10 to 15 minutes of the game.

Inside area





Outside




Since the first look at this level allot of the rooms and area's have been propped up, Meaning more detail and small stuff in the background. I also added effects like foging etc to set the scene more. You can't see it in these images but allot of the wall boundry stuff and interactive objects have been added as well.


Baby!
Yeah so I mentioned this before. We're having a baby and it's gonna be here pretty quick now. This means I will be offline for a bit to take care of my wife and the baby. Since this is my first I am going by assumption here, but it could be that there's no update for a month or two. Rest assured this does not mean I will not continue the work. I will simply be..preoccupied with poop daipers and stuff for a short while.. Please don't see the project as "dead" in the meantime because it is very much alive!

If any bugs or suggestions are found in the meantime. Hop on the discord or the forums here and please do mention them!

42nd Pennsylvania national & 1st Georgia regimental


Today, we’re pleased to be releasing our biggest update to the infantry battle flags of the game yet as part of alpha update 168. We’ll also be giving you a fresh progress report about the much anticipated “Platform System” - a core system for War of Rights going forward.

First thing’s first, however. Let’s talk about the massive flag addition featured in update 168. It’s my pleasure to pass the word on to our newest team member at Campfire Games, Bradley.


My name is Bradley and I am the Historical Texture Artist for Campfire Games, as well as a Graduate Student concentrating in the American Civil War with special interests in Confederate Chaplains, the Siege of Vicksburg, small arms and artillery, and vexillology in the Civil War (the study of flags).


19th indiana regimental & 18th Mississippi national

One of the most important material objects of the Civil War is without question the battle flag. The battle flag was more than just a signal to communicate a regiment’s identification to other units on the chaotic and smoke-filled battlefield, although the “colors” were vitally necessary in serving this practical purpose—the battle flag was also an important symbol to the men that fought under it. For many enlisted men, their regimental standard was a piece of their past and a reminder of home. Not infrequently, ladies back home had sewn the regimental colors and sometimes even constructed the standard from their own wedding dresses, as silk was a precious wartime commodity. The soldiers themselves carefully stitched or painted Battle Honors such as “SEVEN PINES” and “WILLIAMSBURG” onto their banners. These were more than names where gallant fighting happened, these were the final resting places of brothers-in-arms, many dear friends and family members killed hundreds of miles from home.


69th New York regimental & 5th Texas national

My great-great-grandfather, his brother, and their brother-in-law fought at Sharpsburg with the 8th Florida Infantry, some eight hundred miles from their homes in Nassau County, Florida. At Bloody Lane, their under-strength and relatively untested brigade suffered fifty percent casualties. A Chaplain in the Florida Brigade witnessed, "Five times our colors fell." The flag staff was shot in two and the final bearer was killed as the Confederate center abandoned the sunken road. In October 1862, Abraham Lincoln and George B. McClellan posed for photographer Alexander Gardner in the general's tent at Antietam. At the bottom left hand corner of this famous image is a crumpled Confederate battle flag that some have identified as the battle flag of the 8th Florida Infantry. So it was, this particular rebel flag continued to serve an important symbolic purpose even in Union possession.


Lincoln & McClellan next to what is probably the captured battle flag of the 8th Florida

With this update, most of the flags in-game have been rescaled to historically accurate proportions, and we are proud to introduce over fifty new battle flags based on months of meticulous research. War of Rights players, whether on the battlefield or in drill camp, will encounter flags nearly identical to surviving artifacts, down to the tilt of stars and placing of text. Where no artifacts survived for us to follow, we strove for authenticity. We expect future findings may require some flags to be revisited.

- Added 4x4, 6x6.5 and 8x6 feet flag models in order to support the historically correct sizes of battle flags.
- Overhauled the corpse manager: corpses are now divided into sectors of the skirmish area. A sector is able to spawn in as many corpses as the corpse count in the game options allow for. By moving the corpse count setting from being global to being sector based you will now be able to see many more corpses spread out across the entirety of the skirmish area with no change in performance.
- Added a ringing noise following discharging to all bronze cannons in the game.
- Fixed the sponge clipping through the barrel of the cannon when sponged while the barrel is elevated.
- Made all artillery pieces and limbercarts produce sounds when hit by small arms fire.
- Improved the enter bayonet melee mode from shoulder arms animation.
- Fixed a bug where most weapons in first person when aiming were not aligned properly to the direction they would shoot.

- Bolivar Heights detail work, Harpers Ferry.
- Drill Camp level detail work.




Given it’s been a while since the last time we spoke of the upcoming platform system (which can be read here) we thought it might be a good idea to give you all a fresh progress report. We’re happy to announce that internal testing has begun and we’re making steady progress towards being able to bring it to a public test branch available to every War of Rights owner very soon indeed.

The goal of the public test branch is to stress test the platform system as much as possible - this means to fully populate the test server and leaving and joining it multiple times, possibly even causing it to crash or mass boot everyone on it. At the core of the platform system is clearer information available to us developers when things do go wrong which is going to massively help us increase alpha stability (client and server alike) going forward so we’re extremely excited to be seeing what sort of new information we can get our hands on during the initial stress test. We hope many of you will join in on the testing when we soon announce the details of the public test branch launch.

That’s all for now. Until next time, have a good one!

Today we have a new patch for you to download with few changes.
