Haha seriously, all the peasants in Calradia are starving to death because the bandits drove away their cattle and I just have to keep telling them "I don't have time for this. Ask someone else."

Thank you for saving the good peasants of Calradia from starvation!!!!

The lords of those factions really need to station a garrision at the village :???:
 
Sorry for necro but I'm wondering something. How the OP knows that 4 makes cattle follow and 11 run? What do other numbers mean? How can you possibly know those exact numbers change the behaviour of cattles? There are hundreds of numbers just in that code.
 
Alright, I'm dumb.  I am playing Fire and Blade and surprise surprise, I hate cattle herding.  I hop on here I find out what I need to fix, I go into my steam files (looks like this: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Mount & Blade With Fire and Sword)  and I don't know which document to modify.  That's it, that's my problem, where do I stick the fix in?

First post says "menus.txt".  It's detailed pretty clearly in the first post of the thread, and the last page just has the one number blown up into a bigger font so you can find it more easily.
 
Guys guys guyyysss, I edited the file and it saved okay, but when I try to load my saved game, the program crashes! I didn't make a backup file (STUPID!) and now even when I edited the file back to how it was, the game don't want to open. Is there any downloadable backup file of the menus.txt? PLS

I got fed up with herding cattle, so I changed their behavior. It's quite simple, really - I just made them behave like caravans. Instead of run from you, they go to you - triggering the menu once they reach you. All you have to do is change one little number in menus.txt, and cattle herding will no longer be annoying. The menu is menu_cattle_herd (obviously!).

Heres the specific menu you need to change, with the number highlighted in red. Just change the 11 to a 4.

That 11 tells the cattle to run from you. Instead, we change it to 4 - which tells them to follow you, like the caravans do.

No more shall cattle herding waste our time. Hurrah!

- update - As suggested by Highlander, changing it to 10 works even better. This is the AI Lord's behavior when they are campaigning. That way they follow you without initiating the menu every stop.

Link to other tweaks.

Sorry for necro-ing but the setting in my selected module is already set to 4, you said change it from 11 to 4, it is set to 4 and yet the cows still run from me instead of following me. :/
