Details:

This minor modification of Mount&Blade was made by me for the purpose of reducing the number of horses and horsemen in the Native Mount&Blade.

You can choose between 8 starting classes, 4 of which are mounted and the other 4 are not.
The choice of being mounted gives you the benefits of a horse, and a better agility and strength score.
On the other hand, the choice of being on foot gives you the benefits of better equipment, more money, and a better intelligence and charisma score.

Features:
    * Mounted troops are rarer
    * Mounted troops are more expensive
    * Mounted troops are stronger
    * Horses are more expensive
    * Marnid and Borcha have better equipment
      -A Sword of War for Marnid
      -A bow, a horse, and a nomad sabre for Borcha
    * Black Armor, Greaves, and Helm do not appear in merchant shops
    * Horses are more expensive, with a few changes in stats
      -Sumpter Horses and Saddle Horses are weaker, and a bit more expensive
      -Steppe Horses, Coursers, and Hunters are stronger and stronger
      -Warhorses and Chargers are much stronger, but much more expensive*
    * Totally revamped Troop Trees
      - Made from scratch
    * New Starting Menu
      - Much more flexible

Planned for next release:
    * Revamped/New Quests
      - How to get Borcha
      - How to get Marnid
      - Quest to make armored horses
    * New Destrier Horse
    * New Scenes and NPCs

Planned for future releases:
    * A few new NPCs
    * New Quests
      - Quests given by lords
      - Quests given by fellow NPCs
    * Whatever Else I can think of

I need a tester to balance the new starting screen. Just tell me if you want to.

Almost ready for the next release! I just need some testers. Please PM for volunteers.

McLenin has found no bugs so far, just a few imbalances.

- Horsemen from the Stables
- Military Footmen from the Barracks
- Paramilitary units from the Tavern.

------------------------------------------------END OF TROOP TREES-------------------------------------------------

I'll post the other two troop trees (Neutrals and Bandits) later, as this is a pretty long post now.

I personally don't like:
The name "Conscript"
The fact that "Archer" is after "Bowman" when they're synonymous
The over-use of "Raider" (To be seen when I post the other two troop trees)
 
cool, nice job tuckles. Altough most of it is basic scripting it still makes the games a lot better.
 
Gah, I'm getting this frustrating error, can anyone help?

It could be a variety of things... make sure that the BRF's with the textures are placed at the top of the ini file. Otherwise, make sure you haven't made a mistake with your naming/referencing of textures. Also, delete any materials that are imported when you import your obj (usually there is something like a "cube_auv" that is imported automatically) in the BRF with your models.
 
Wait, so you're saying it's something like this?
(Using chel's horses by the way)

Code: 
scan_module_textures = 1
scan_module_sounds = 0

load_mod_resource = horse_meshes
load_mod_resource = darkmod_textures
load_mod_resource = darkmod_materials
load_resource = textures_face_gen
load_resource = shaders
load_resource = textures
load_resource = materials

or...

Code: 
scan_module_textures = 1
scan_module_sounds = 0

load_mod_resource = horse_meshes
load_mod_resource = darkmod_materials
load_mod_resource = darkmod_textures
load_resource = textures_face_gen
load_resource = shaders
load_resource = textures
load_resource = materials

or something else?
 
No, make sure all textures are before materials, and all materials are before meshes.
 
No, that error usually occurs for the opposite reason....

the Get_Object is not related to anything, it is the type of error.

The important bit in your error is the texture bit. It is telling you that a material or mesh is trying to call the texture "earthenvmap" but it can't find it. Therefore make sure all the spelling is correct, and that you have textures and materials all with the correct names. If you really want, you can PM me a link to where I can download your BRF's and I'll go through and try to solve it for you.
 
I don't get it...horseman are buff and dumb while infantrymen are weak and smart? :???:

Also, why won't you be able to buy horses with armor in the next version? "Before I become a full fledged knight, I must go on a quest to rob the villainous Dark Hunters of their armored horses! Wait...where did they get their armored horses from?"
 
No, I'm gonna make an NPC that asks for a sort of horse and a few pieces of Iron, he'll make an armored horse for you.

In a sense the armor is custom-made.

the footmen are weak and smart so that they'll be able to get more troops and take care of them.

the horsemen are buff and strong because that's how I observed people use horses, the lone wolf.
 
Generally (:lol:), a leader would ride a horse...

If you mean just in the game, I think it's quite the opposite. As a horsemen, I always have a contingent of troops, whereas infantrymen often solo large enemy parties because they are really strong.
 
I must say, I like your first page lay-out! I'lll give this mod a go.

Tuckles said:
Oh, well, in my experience, as a footman, I'd get slaughtered by the enemy horsemen.

Also; Can anyone help me with that problem?  :cry:
Click to expand...

Good agility helps a lot, you need to be able to out run the badguys. Thats one thing you should probably do you know, give the footmen classes higher agility.
