Version 0.703 is out!

[Armagan]

Hi folks!

A new version of Mount&Blade is ready. This version has a few fixes and changes but its most important apect will be that I'll release the module system for it in a few days.

Here's the changelog for the new version:

• Melee hits to a horse consume %40-60 of the damage now permitting some of the damage to be carried to the rider.
• Reduced probability of horse becoming lame from 30% to 20%
• You can switch to shield without carrying melee weapons now.
• Increased damage penatly for using a two-handed weapon with one hand to 25%.
• Troops properly equip gloves now.
• Some minor bugfixes.
[/list:u]
Unfortunately earlier savegames will NOT be compatible with the new version.

Anyway here's the upgrade patch for the new version (26MB):

You will have to check the configuration file too.
The default texture quality now is 50 instead of 100 and it seems to me "render_buffer_size" is reduced at all. The max value was 36 and now is 24.

Awesome thanks man

Penguin got me there - gotta scroll further next time

Thanks, now that AMD3200 is back from repair I have to make up for lost time by cranking up graphics to max.
