Ah well, must be the same as villages now where the recruits are designated individually in their own slots. After the VC source code is released we can probably work up a tweak that switches these automatically when a centre changes hands, but for now you'll have to use the save editor.
Does replacing the unhappiness checker still work? I swear it was working until the last update for the Viking conquest DLC/Mod. After the update every companion is getting pissed and threatening to leave. Even after re-editing my triggers file.
kraggrim said:Change time between companions trying to leave:
Tired of constantly reminding your companions that nobody gets to leave the party? Use this!
Make a backup of triggers.txt, then open it and search forThere areCode:0.000000 0.000000 24fourthree instances, the one nearest the top of the file is the one you want. Change that 24 to a higher number, 99999 worked for me.
Please note, if it's the same as Brytenwalda this trigger contains a few different companion conflict related things (see the spoiler below). I would advise only using this if you have your party as you'd like to have it for the rest of the game. Do not use during story mode, I don't know for sure but would probably **** things up.

You can see what is probably the :grievance_divisor", 100 in the text file just along from the 24.0000. Changing that might be a more elegant way of doing this, not tried it though.
EDIT: tested from a new game in 1.04 sandbox, companions will complain about and praise each other after battle but never try to leave, so should be fine to have on from the start.
EDIT 2: This will affect companions sent off on missions, so you'll need to reset it when you want them back.

Alternate Crown Model (probably any version, though only tested in reforged beta)
In your resources folder make a copy of vc_hoods.brf, then download this one and swap it in. It just uses existing materials and textures so no need to worry about that stuff. Will replace the existing one for the player (if they have one) and all kings.
Edit: Updated link with slightly tweaked version that should look a bit better, plus another couple of variants included in the brf.
If you want to change it open the file up using a program called OpenBRF and rename whichever one you like to 'Crown' and rename the current one to something else.

Crown-stealing from captured kings re-enabled reforged beta
If you want to be able to take crowns from captured kings then open conversation.txt and find this section:
Swap it for this:
Note: There will be a bug where after taking the crown you can then also choose to take 5 normal helmets from the king.

Troll or child sized characters (male only for now, tested in 2.005 should be any version)
Make a backup of your saves and then download the save-game editor. Import your save and open the 'troops' section (should be near the bottom), the player character should be at the very top of the list. Open the player troop and find the 'flags' entry, then replace whatever's there with one of these numbers:
Male
268435478 (child)
268435476 (short)
268435472 (normal)
268435474 (tall)
268435480 (troll)
Export the save, and that should be it.
Tall on the left, then troll and child.

Add Morrigan back to your party as a companion again tested in Reforged/2.0 but probably any version
I would advise against using this in storyline mode as companions play an integral part. Wait until you've finished the main quest.
Irish questline spoilers:
For this make sure you have a companion you don't want that you can swap out for her in your party (remember to remove any equipment you want to keep). Make a backup of your saves and then download the save-game editor. Import your save and open the 'party_records' section (should be about 3/4 of the way down), the player character's party should be #0 at the very top of the list. Find the 'stacks' section and in this find the companion you want to swap out. Their troop_id should be:
Change that number to 1298. Now go to the 'troops' section (about 6 lines under party records), open it and find the companion that you swapped out. Open their 'slots' tab and reset 'slot_troop_occupation (2)' to 0. You also want to set their 'slot_troop_cur_center (12)' to a number between 21 and 50. This is the town they'll be in, you can look which number corresponds to which city under the party_records tab if there's a specific one you want.
If you want it to be like you never met them there's probably a bunch of other slots you want to reset to 0, like slot_troop_met_previously (80), slot_troop_first_encountered (59), slot_troop_present_at_event (9), slot_troop_courtship_state (5), slot_troop_last_talk_time (4). Dunno how important these are really.
Not designed for getting adventuring or lord companions back into your party. I've posted a possible guide for that here, though it's untested. If you try it out let me know if it works or not.
NOTE: QWW has created a mod that allows her to stay. I've not tested it but you're probably better using that if she's not left the party yet.

Recruitable ship-viking parties Reforged/2.0
In conversation.txt find this bit:
The 6 is replaced with a 10 (signifies number of parts to this section) and the blue parts are added in to enable this for the extra party templates:
Danish vikingr (7 566
Vikingr (79) 567
Norwegian vikingr (80) 568
Swedish vikingr (81) 569
Remember you need space in your fleet for all their soldiers and prisoners, and need enough money to recruit all of them.

Good day, I have just bought Viking Conquest after the RE came out. I jumped into tweaking right away. So far, my (mis)adventure has yielded the right results (though I am not too sure what was I looking at 
). But one big obstacle remains:
I want to modify the interval / time between recruiting prisoners. I have done that in other mods a number of times by going to menus.txt, finding the line containing "mno_camp_recruit_prisoners" and searching from there. But in Viking Conquest, I can't find this line, or any similar numeric strings at all! I tested and the time seemed to be 24 hours as before, but I cannot find 24 in any relevant line as well.
Another thing is that, since the factors that affect the prisoner limit is now replaced by renown and party size (I believe), should I go test and try changing the values in the line game_get_party_prisoner_limit in script.txt or should I look somewhere else? I can deal with save game editing as well if need be. Thanks kindly for any help!

kuplas, 45 is Aileach so it might be he'd moved on to another town by the time you got there. Try using the save editor to check his current town and see if he's there. If that doesn't work I'd try starting anew game, saving, then compare that save with your current one in the editor and reset all helgi's slots to what they were in the new game save. Hopefully it will be like you'e never met him and he'll show up now.
'Companions: change time between attempts to leave the party' hasn't been tested in the full reforged release but yes it should stop them trying to leave if you set the number high enough. It does stop them coming back if you send them on missions or lose them for whatever reason. I would recommend this one instead, just keep your morale up for a couple of days as it gradually comes into effect.
Dracosoara, I think prisoner recruitment feature might be in presentations.txt now, have a look there. I'm not sure about the prisoner limit one, I'll have a wee look.

Thank you! I have found the relevant lines in presentations.txt. For anyone who would like to make the prisoner recruitment interval tweak, below are the steps.
Thanks again!
Edit: I have also found the way to change prisoner limit as well. First go to game_get_party_prisoner_limit in script.txt.
To change the base limit:
In VC, the prisoner limit is increased by 1 when there is an increase of 4 in numbers of troops. To change that number:
I haven't found the renown one yet though, if it exists, but those should suffice for the moment.
Find the line prsnt_camp_screen_main in presentations.txt. Then locate the string

and change the highlighted number to whatever number. For unlimited recruitment, change the number to -1 like this:
1224979098644774932 2106 2 1224979098644774932 -1 32 2 1224979098644774932 144115188075856211 4 0 32 2

In referance to the first of the two tweeks behaviour, how does this work for AI lords, does it cost them money? I would like the player and AI metagame to behave the same way, it's unfair if they get free spontaneous garrisons while I have to run around for 2 weeks recruiting.
How do AI normally find troups, do they recruit like the player? Can someone elaborate on the differences between ai and player recruiting?

Cheers Dracosoara, will link on the front page. What makes you think prisoner limit is influenced by renown?
kuplas, the slot for the companion troop should be slot_troop_cur_center (12), then compare that number to the list in 'party_records' (about 6 lines above 'troops' in the save file).
Carrion believe it's supposed to deduct money from the lord or his center's wealth (I think ransom money also comes out of this), but from what I've been told it doesn't really make a big difference if he's poor, in native warband at least. I wouldn't really know how to adjust this through tweaks.

Oh, it's just from some previous forum post when I was doing the search. Though I actually tested by increasing renown, and it doesn't seem to change the prisoner limit, so I haven't looked in the codes further.

Well, it's probably been balanced like that to account for the various advantages the player has (can recruit prisoners, mercenaries, bandits, masterless men, companions, raise the levy from villages etc). I don't really want to get into a discussion about game balance though .
If you think you'll have more fun playing if you don't have to bother managing the garrisoning of centers then apply the first one, if you think the decrease in challenge will reduce your fun then don't apply it, simple. If the same damn castles/towns just keep changing hands over and over you could try the second tweak, should help with that (in theory, not tested it).
