Secession -Download/Description/FAQ- "Current version 0.45a"
« on: January 28, 2012, 02:51:29 AM »
Please note this mod requires Warband Version 1.143. No, you do not need to downgrade. You can simply use multiple installs. You can use your steam key (if it doesn't work, use this to convert your steam key into a usable one).
If you are not comfortable creating a second Warband installation, there is a step-by-step guide at the bottom of those post.

1.143 mirrors:

FAQ

Q: What are the shortcuts?
A: C for Crouch - V for Voice - B for Bayonet.

Q: WSE is saying I don't have the correct version even though I have 1.143!
A: Your Warband .exe is infected with a virus or has been modified. Verify the game through steam, or reinstall it if you don't have steam.

Q: I can't join any servers! It's saying I have an incorrect warband version.
A: You must run Secession through the shortcut that appears on the desktop on install.

Q: A shortcut wasn't put on my desktop after the install! What can I do?
A: Go into your Secession folder, inside that folder is a WSE folder. Go into the WSE folder, and run Secession through WSELoader.exe.

Q: Why are the guns so accurate?
A: The American Civil War was fought mainly with rifles. These are different from smoothbores because they have rifling, which causes the bullet to spin and gives it greater accuracy. These new rifles paired with outdated Napoleonic military doctrine resulted in an obscene amount of casualties for both sides.

Q: How do I operate a cannon?
A: You're going to need a coordinated group for this. One person needs to grab the telescope, one person needs to grab the ramrod, and one needs to grab the lanyard.
  • 1: Have everybody go up to the cannon and use it holding F. You should get some green text.
  • 2: The one with the ramrod needs to go to the muzzle of the cannon and hold the down arrow key. This is sponging the cannon, and it is optional - but not doing this is dangerous.
  • 3: Grab a shot from the ammunition chest of the nearby caisson.
  • 4: If the shot's fuse can be cut, hold the down arrow. Move the slider to the desired time (1 = 1 TENTH of a second) and press Cut Fuse!
  • 5: With the shot with the newly-cut fuse in hand, head to the muzzle of the cannon and hold the up arrow key to load it in.
  • 6: Have the guy with the ramrod ram the shot down by going up to the muzzle and holding up.
  • 7: Have the guy with the telescope aim with the arrow keys with the telescope equipped.
  • 8: Once you've aimed, take out your brass cannon sight to fine tune the aiming. Hold down to dial in the range, and hold up to aim at the correct spot.
  • 9: Have the lanyard guy hold the up button to fire the cannon!
  • Hint: You cannot do any cannon actions while crouched.
  • Hint: If you have the lanyard, you can check loading progress at any time by holding the down button.
  • Hint: Coordinate everyone so they're doing their jobs at the same time to make the loading process go faster.

Q: I can't do anything with the cannon even though I've used it!
A: Crouch down and stand up again. That should fix it.

Q: The smoothbores seem useless, what are they good for?
A: Smoothbores fire buck and ball shot - that's a .69 caliber ball and 2 pieces of buckshot. Each smoothbore is a mini-shotgun. They're also very good in a melee.


Multiple Installation Guide

1: Find where Warband is installed. If you're on steam, skip this step. If you're not, you know how to do this.

2: Download Warband version 1.143 from any of these 3 mirrors - they are all official Taleworlds links, do not worry about viruses.
http://download.taleworlds.com/mb_warband_setup_1143.exe
http://download2.taleworlds.com/mb_warband_setup_1143.exe
ftp://anonymous:anonymous@208.43.68.152/mb_warband_setup_1143.exe

3: Install the .exe. Steam users can skip the rest of this step. When it asks for an install path, make sure the path does not point to where Warband is currently installed.

4: You can rename the new folder anything you'd like. I'd recommend Secession just to keep track of what it is.

5: Download Secession version 0.45 and put the contents in the Modules folder of the second Warband you just installed.

6: Go into Secession's WSE folder. Select everything inside it, copy it (control + c), go to your Warband install (the new one), and paste it (control + p).

7: [Optional] Right click the WSELoader.exe you just pasted, click create shortcut, drag it to your desktop.

8: Download the .45 to .45a patch here: http://www.mediafire.com/?jhbzy6692a84v7l

9: Extract the files inside the archive into your Secession_v0.45 folder

10: Rename the Secession_v0.45 folder to Secession_v0.45a

11: Run the game through WSELoader.exe or the icon you just created.

This may look complicated, but not counting download times it should take less than five minutes.
If you have any issues, feel free to PM me (Azrooh), start a thread, or post on the bug reports thread.

Awesome work! A couple spelling and grammar mistakes though but they're hardly noticeable.

This is my favorite Warband mod (MM is overrated in my opinion) and I hope continues to become more popular!

Great job to all the devs!
