[S] Floris Mod Pack - v2.01 out now! - Old topic

[monnikje]

I started my After Action Report (AAR) Me, Floris with native, but in the course of a few months I added more and more mods to enhance my gameplay experience. This grew to a stunning large amount, all working together. I decided to combine these all into two Mod Packs: the Floris Basic Mod Pack, which is compatible with any Warband version as far as I know, and the Floris Expanded Mod Pack, which adds more features but is only compatible with the latest version. Here are some general notes:

• Since a lot of mods are combined, both packs are enormous in size (each larger than the entire game!). This might strain slower pc's. If the expanded version is too much for your computer, you might want to try the basic version.
• Because of this enormous size, the loading time of the mod is longer than you are used to. Have patience!
• The basic version is compatible with any native savegame. The expanded version is only compatible with native or diplomacy savegames if you remove the Floris npc from troops.txt. You can download this file also here.
  
• If you have any request for an additional mod to be added, just post in the topic or pm me, and I'll see what I can arrange for the next version.
• If you want to use this pack in your own mod, you'll have to ask the authors of each mod in this pack for their permission (check the respective topics!). For the stuff created by me: you can use it as long as you give credit. It would be nice to let me know you've used it. See the post below for more information about using (parts of) this pack for your own mods.
• Always make a backup of your native files, so you can easily revert back if you want to.
  

Now let's go to the packs.

• Add a mystic merchant to the taverns of towns. You can gamble with him like the Diablo II. You will see many items, but you can't see the prefix and the true price of the items.

• New character creation system, all questions and answers about your background are in one interface. You can a new character easily.
• Cavalry will choose the right weapons from weapons which they equipped (not from their hole inventory). When they are on horses, they will prefer to use lances and switch to other weapons when they are on foot.
• Horse archers won't switch weapons to melee weapons before they run out of their ammo.
• Rhodok sergeants will switch weapons to the glaive when they are close to the enemies if they had equipped it on back, and switch to a shield with an one-handed weapon when the enemies are far away to defense the enemies' arrows or bolts.
• Customizable troops can be renamed in the upgrade tree of them in reports menu. Note: Removed in this pack due to compatibility issues.

• The Floris King Logos are now on boards outside the taverns.
• The first two banners have been replaced by the one of Holland, and my own family weapon.
• I've rebuilded the python files for Utrehd's Music Pack v0.8. Apparently there were more songs in this pack than were actually used. I solved that, and made sure the songs were to be used alongside the originals, not replacing them.
  
• I've given some troops items from the new and expanded list. This means that the new items aren't just available, but also readily used!

Converting savegames:

(click to show/hide)

When starting a new game:
When you start a new game, all works fine. I didn't spot any bugs.

When converting from native to 2.01:
When you convert a Native savegame to the Expanded Mod Pack, I noticed that the kingdom names are a little shifted in order, and in 'Notes' the images of the npc's are also wrong (although it will be corrected when you actually click on the npc). I haven't been able to find the cause of this, but after some playing I noticed that it doesn't break your game.

When converting from 1.0 to 2.01:
- When you convert from 1.0 to the next version, you've got the above problem, and an additional one with the troop trees that might be a hindrance. Some better tier units get a much lower level than they should have. And when I start a new game, they do have their right level. I guess it's because of the transition from one complex troop tree to another. The only thing I could do about it is making sure that similar units have the same position in the troops.txt, which I did. Despite that this hindrance occurs. I have found no way to fix that .
- I also noticed that, when converting from 1.0 to the next version, I had to rehire my Diplomacy staff, who thereafter seemed to work fine. 60 denars is a small price to pay.

FAQ

(click to show/hide)

Q: I don't like the Combat Animation Enhancements. How can I remove them?
A: Copy from native or your favorite mod 'skeletons.brf' to the Resource dricetory of this mod, and 'actions.txt' to the main mod directory, and say yes to overwrite. You should now have the old animations back.

Q: I get crashes while saving a game, during or after a bigger battle or switching screens.
A: You might want to check out this topic. In most cases this solves your problems.

Disclaimer: Even though I did my best to make the mod pack as bug free as possible, it's possible that I have overlooked something. Don't panic, but instead report the bug as accurate as p=ossible, so I can fix it.

[Adorno]

A lot of good stuff compiled here.

[Robis]

It sounds interesting, expecially after my pc crashed with my own personal mod within (all the troop tree with all the Thick stuffs). So i was thinking to use your expanded mod when my pc will be back (if it will), but the troop tree seems too long and deleting the faction specific troops, but maybe i'm wrong. And i can't see swadians with bows 

[thick1988]

Looks like a great compilation! 

[Scully]

Screens? Does it look ridiculous with so much different work by different mods?

[monnikje]

Adorno: Indeed. Many credits to all the authors of the different mods (including you ).

Robis: The troop tree is indeed larger, but it adds also many different paths towards the same top tier units. Personally I like this troop tree, that's why I included it.
You can also use the basic version, and use the Python Files from the Diplomacy mod to merge it into your own style. That's the way I did it.

thick1988: Thank! It is .

Scully: It doesn't look ridiculous, the mods work perfectly together. I'll post some screenshots soon: I first have to go to work. When I'm back I'll post some.

[Blead]

Great just what I was hoping for!

I do have a question. Do I need to start a new game with this module or could I use a saved game from the native module?

[Robis]

Robis: The troop tree is indeed larger, but it adds also many different paths towards the same top tier units. Personally I like this troop tree, that's why I included it.

if i can save my own troop file i can use it, but i should rework each unit with all the nice new stuff u included isntead of only the awesome thick's variants

Thank you. I have been waiting for this.

killer-blead: Glad to be of service .
To answer your question: both yes and no.
Yes: it does start, gives you no errors and allows you to continue playing with your native savegame.
No: it does screw up the listing of the npc's. Harlaus is suddenly named Floris, Arwa the Pearled one is suddenly a guy and so on. This problem is there because I added a new companion, and it comes in front of the kings,knights and ladies. They are all shifted by one. Floris thus screws up the day...
Solution: Replace the troops.txt by this file. I disabled the Floris npc in it. Too bad you can't have this new companion with your old savegame, but you can enjoy the rest of the mod with your old savefile .

Robis: That's going to be a lot of work . But I hope you can save your troops.txt, because it would save the trouble of rebuilding that.

PadrePio: You're welcome .

a quick question about the expanded version:
2. Copy all the directories you find in this pack to your main Mount & Blade Warband directory (Click yes to overwriting).

does that mean i HAVE to overwrite the files that are NOT in the modules copies of native i have?
because wouldnt this then conflict with any other mods i have?
couldnt you edit your mod so it loads the custom textures only for itself?

[monnikje]

There are seven files in the main Textures map. Six of them are the faction logo's: instead of this:

(click to show/hide)

you'll get this:

(click to show/hide)

These are by the way also in the basic mod pack.

The seventh file is one that replaces the normal logo's outside the tavern with ones from Floris.

Unfortunately I'm not able to edit these seven files into just a mod (does anyone know that perhaps?), so these changes apply to all your modules. But since they are mere replacements of some pictures, they won't conflict with any of them. Luckily they are not essential, and you can run the mod perfectly fine without them . Therefor, if you don't want it, you don't have to copy that. The necessary textures are all within the module.

oh okay phew, i thought it would change all the  castles and new items to mods they dont belong in, if its only floris king and the new banners that's perfectly acceptable for all mods.

Awesome!
