Modding Q&A [For Quick Questions and Answers]

[cwr]

No. I mean, Warband and/or my mod seems to have a bug where a collision mesh of a random scene prop will sometimes just disappear. I want to know if there's a fix for that that anyone knows about.

 

[MadocComadrin]

If it happens while/just after editing a scene, try reloading the scene.

I have never heard of that, does it happen with custom scene props only? or does it happen with native props also. Also what is the polygon count like on the collision meshes which disappear?

EDIT: Just read the above, if that is the case then yes collision meshes often require the scene to be reloaded

 

[The_dragon]

The collision bug happened in full invasion a lot (falling throu the floor(wich was a scene prop); going throu houses) (maybe it has something to do with the number of agents?). That is all I know about it

Hello I asked once but I didn't get to make it, can someone give me somewhat more detailed info on how to dress all soldiers in-game with woman dresses?
Thanks ^^

Do you mean by making dresses available to buy in multiplier multiplayer (stupid auto-correct), or do you just want troops in general to have dresses?

Does anyone know how to get pikes to upper thrust like in WFaS?

 

[Kentucky 『 ＨＥＩＧＵＩ 』 James]

Does anyone know how to get pikes to upper thrust like in WFaS?

change the polearm overhead swing animation to the overhead thrust animation. You'll have to find the animation in commonres and change the frame time in module_animation.

Does anyone know how to get pikes to upper thrust like in WFaS?

Just change a few parameters in module_items. Compare Napoleonic Wars's musket code with the pike's code, then apply the changes you need.

Is it possible to change the price of mercenaries?

So I've created some custom mercenaries in my personal module, but all of them seems to have the same price (more or less 150 denars/man) regardless of their equipment quality. But I haven't seem to find a way to change it  .

 

[Mike12096]

@DanyEle: I posted this code from NW's Opelcheniye pike but still the pikes in my mod won't upper thrust like they're suppose to:

The price and loan of mercenaries is linked with their level. If you make the level higher, they will cost more. Make it lower and they will cost less.
I also would like to know if there is a way to get around this.

Quick question I am wondering about: It is possible to change the AI that they aren't so heavily focussed on the player? I mean in a real battle they know where you are and focus you more, no matter if your main army is charging them and you are coming from the side. And on the worldmap whenever you got a village or so the AI seems to focus your village to raid. (Got a village that was never raided in about 200 days while my faction was in war with only the one other faction. Then I got a village and exchanged it to that said village (man that gave me 3k income with very low tax), bam 3 days later it got raided.

Ah yeah, is it possible to join a battle between two factions VS those two? So having three factions battling?

Hi 

Well, i've made some mercenaries troops attached to my factions :

The problem is : i can see it everywhere on the worldmap  how to make it visible only by my field of view based on my perception stats...

Thank you.

 

[La Grandmaster]

what do you always see? the spawn point location or the actual party?

 

[FantasyWarrior]

I can see the new troops behind my field of view  it's always visible.

Spoiler

It work with the bandits relooked from native, but not when i add a new troop with this methode.

I don't know if my english is sufficient


edit: thank you Somebody 
I 've made my new spawn point after "spawn_points_end" in module_parties 
and
bandit_lair_templates_end
at module_party_templates

I'm trying to make a new inventory window template, but when I started this presentation game crashes instantly, presentation not shows up.

Usually has to do with the container overlays - those pretty much always crash

I can see the new troops behind my field of view  it's always visible.

Look for all instances of pf_always_visible where it is set by

party_set_flags

- the game is probably confusing those for bandit lairs and setting those flag erroneously.
