- Javelins are priority weapon. If you switch you drop them. A way to combine this with the spear not dropping would be nice.

Not sure about this, I have seen pictures and people talk about holding them in your left hand, which would indicate that you can keep them while fighting with another weapon.

And many, many others. Javelins and throwing spears should really be sheathed behind the shield, in left hand. Only problem in this I heard about is that it would look silly if took 2h weapon, or spear. Solution is simple, not sure if so easy to script though. If took out 2h, you drop the throwings. If took 1h, it goes to your left hand, regardless if you wield a shield or not.

D/L now, too awesome
I hope it's not as crashy as Bryntewalda.

No shit man, Brytenwalda crashes every 10 minutes for me. So unfortunate.

I never, ever crashed in this mod, and I play it since January though.

I dowloaded Vikingr 0.84 at 02/10/2011 and when i turn on the game it shows
RGL ERROR
get_object failed to texture: NRMDestrier
how to fix this? need help

You could try turning on "load textures on demand" in the mod selection screens configurations. Are you sure you have updated your warband version to the newest patch?

I replied to your e-mail, and for some weird reason you are the only one so far with this error. I hope I fixed it now, please let me know
Also does your game start at all or not? I would think one missing texture should not stop the game from loading.

Otherwise make sure you follow moeck's advice:

I think shields should be less invincible maybe add like an aiming system with shield like protecting head body legs

would be nice if it was possible, but sadly it is not. (the more and more I run into these annoying cannot be done stuff the more I feel like making my own game xD, not that I know anything about that mind you.)

Hm, there is such an animation, not like weapon blocks, but fluent. If you stare at sky, you cover your head, when you look down, you cover your legs. What you'd have to do is making shield block happen only if attacking weapon gets in contact with it, so if someone is trying to slash your face you'd have to rise the shield. Is that really impossible? Shields work different from native already.

[Eiríkr Rauði]

If you poke through the animation files there are four seperate shield animations for actively deflecting an attack or missile off to one of four individual directions.

Worth looking into.

Best mod so far.

Im hoping to see singleplayer version too.

Hi guys... I have tried to launch the game...but it  crashed during the Textures  loading an this is what appeared:

(click to show/hide)

I recommend downloading the installer again, we had a small shift of versions and as it seems for every error we weed out a new one that didn't cause any trouble before emerges. For unknown reasons its different for everyone too, when testing we never needed to change any of the problems that have been reported yet...
So the bit of waiting time should be well invested if you just try to download it again, for all I know it should work fine then, unless we find somebody on whos PC warband decides not to let it work and we have to find another fix for that.^^

[°°Caradoc Mòr°°]

Thank you very much, it works!

And what about the messed fonts? I mean, I've been using the new ones since former Vikingr team gave us,but, since I have to use them on all the Modules, how can I have the standard ones back(non-messed, obviously )

[Barabas]

You were supposed to put the files in ...Warband\Modules\Vikingr\Data and ...Warband\Modules\Vikingr\Textures (if I remember correctly), which should make them only apply to Vikingr and not any other module. But I'm guessing from your story that you put the files in ...Warband\Data and ...Warband\Textures. So if you have overwritten the original warband files you will not be able to restore them without reinstalling or some friendly help.

If you did put the files in ...Warband\Modules\Vikingr\Data and ...Warband\Modules\Vikingr\Textures then you can just delete the font_data.xml and font.dds in your ...Warband\Modules\Vikingr\Data and ...Warband\Modules\Vikingr\Textures folders.

If you put them in the the files in ...Warband\Data and ...Warband\Textures please let me know so I can send you the original files. (or if you have some backup of some sort of warband you can get them from there)
