Oh well, it would have have been nice...guess I won't stick around to see if the miracle is about to happen

First message in this thread in 5 years, hope someone's still monitoring this...
Could you please re-up 74Companion Mod for Brytenwalda 1.4 with TML 2.1 Mod, all the 4shared links are dead.
I only have the old companion mod for Brytenwalda 1.39 and I'm no fan of the Reworked or Repolished Brytenwalda;
I'd really love to play v1.4 (it runs a lot smoother than v1.39) combined with TML and your Companion Mod.

TIA if you can re-up!

Lol ok, he's not actually a 'hero' npc (the type with % health), I didn't realise. That's what's causing your various problems. He can probably be killed in battle too, so be careful .

I'll try switching his flags with the save-editor, probably result in bugs galore but I want to see what happens.
Edit: yeah it crashes it. he's stuck as a normal dude.

Use Morgh's editor to give him the equipment you want him to have, then use the save-editor to change his flags to this: 267387904. That's the best you can do afaik. Maybe someone else knows how to turn him into a hero-type npc.

Ouch, he's been in so many battles I would have sworn he was one of the 'immortals'. Probably got pretty close to losing him as well; he's been wounded several times. So guess when he gets killed I'll have to return to his dad, to tell him his favorite son didn't make it, cause he refused to wear a helmet 

Might try your suggestion with Morgh's editor and the savegame editor, thanks for looking into it.

Thanks Gwim. As you've guessed making him a 'real' companion probably isn't possible without the source code, but I'll have a look at letting him level up.

That would be cool. Also would be cool if he could actually keep the items I give to him.... he somehow managed to turn the heavy horse I gave him back into a pony.

Gave him some more gear and it seems you can replace what he already has except the pony (armor, boots, sword, shield, javelins), but if you add something (helmet, gloves, probably 4th weapon slot - haven't tried) it will be gone next time you talk to him. Any way of 'fixing' that would be appreciated.

Ah, never encountered him. Can you upload a save with him? I'd like to have a look at his dialog in game and I don't have a suitable save.

Sure, I put it here:

Bran mac Caliacas is somewhere halfway down my list of troops, he's the first cavalry man in the list (apart from my companions). Used the tweak to swap his pony for a horse, other than that he's in his original state (just can't get used to those ponies, makes me feel like I'm Lord of the My Little Pony Club ...)

Edit:
(Hint) maybe you can change him into a real companion.... pretty pleazzz, ah well, just kidding.

Who the hell is Bran anyway? I don't remember him at all, so can't test it.

Thanks! This works, although after changing his equipment and closing the window, you get some dialogue you normally get when talking to bandits (I will not kill you if you join me). No matter though.

I suppose this tweak (quote below) could also be used to give Bran (Caliacas son) some decent footwear, but I'm not entirely sure how to implement the code.
Brans' existing dialogue lines are these:

Could you advise on how to implement the same tweak with Brans' dialogue? (I could make an uneducated guess, but I'd rather save myself the public embarrassment of not quite hitting the nail on the head....). TIA!

Sorry for the messy layout, if I put my question at the bottom it somehow gets included with the quote.

So the big question is, does anyone know how to remove the 'canot be used on horseback' restriction?

Click to expand...

I use Morgh's Item Editor (http://forums.taleworlds.com/?topic=105928.0) for stuff like this

Click to expand...

Oh yes, that will do the trick: freed at last from using those toothpicks they call swords...
Much obliged !

Hi all,

New to the forum and definitely need to start out with a HUGE thanks to all contributors to this thread.
Would not be playing VC without many of the tweaks listed, for it's simply too punnishing for my taste
(realism often does not translate into fun gameplay very well, so tweaks/cheats are called for).

I'm not yet very far into VC, but for now one thing bugs me still: there are several types of long axes in
VC that can be used as either 1-H or 2-H, but cannot be used on horseback. They're basicly 'bastard axes'
and I fail to see the logic behind this inability to use those while mounted.

I'm not a big fan of swords, I prefer axes, the ones that can be used while mounted are no real option:
try hitting that spearman poking at your favorite horse while using a short axe that has 60 reach ....
need I say more?

So the big question is, does anyone know how to remove the 'canot be used on horseback' restriction?
