WOO found it. My computer blew up a long time ago metaphorically speaking sooo I have to gather some of my mods again.

If I can get new screenies of the horses I will. But I don't have any of the things I need to continue working on this mod. The white horses are blinding, yup. Sorry about that. Like it says on the mod, REMOVE THE ONES YOU DON'T LIKE. It ain't hard, especially if I of all people could make it in the first place.
Appaloosa, Black, White and several of the others are legitimate horse colorings. We made these for ourselves and just decided to share them with the public. :3

Since the topic is old and the mod won't be worked on further I'll lock this up. Here are some screenies to get an idea of the ponies before I do.


If someone would like to, you are free to edit and reproduce or redistribute what you like without having to ask permission from me, since I'm not here often enough. But credit would be nice, my friend and I spent hours on some of these horses to make them look decent and get rid of seams.

OMG *bounces*
Too many horses? No such thing. The shops will be loaded with ponies, all the ponies!

How about not just whistle, but the better horses will follow you on the battle field till you whistle for them.

I'm with this plan. Following at a good distance and then coming up to you when you call for it. Or if you have ridden a specific horse for 20 days or more it will stick close until called/whistled for. It also doesn't take a high knowledge of horses to teach them how to come to a whistle. With goodies/treats you can teach a horse to do anything.

After reading through all the more recent posts...

Think about it, riding a horse that is 18 hands tall into warfare, do people really understand how big that is? That is SIX FEET at the wither. Six feet tall; every hand is 4 inches, 24 hands? Eight Feet at the wither. Any taller than 17 and the joints simply will not tolerate the kind of strain and extra weight put on them from 300 pounds of armor plus a rider. Not to mention you are just a huge target. massive would equate to lots of broken down nags.
Horses were employed to be ridden due to the advantage of mobility in combat, as well as a height advantage which brings me to another point, you can't be leaning off the side of your horse like a trick rider to try and hit your target, the point of a horse isn't just to charge and look awesome; actually it would be quite stupid to just run people over with your horse. What a death wish! Making horses a little bigger in M&B wouldn't be terrible, but making them a whole lot bigger would be awful. Draft horses are work horses, they aren't meant to shoot all over the place.

Horses in M&B do need to be filled out a little bit and have some conformational tweaks because with their current pasterns they would be a tough ride in RL. But when it comes to warfare and being practical, after a certain point, bigger is not better. I dare say a Quarter Horse would be better bred for war than a giant. Fast, agile, and just the right size with massive bursts of speed you could use to your advantage but not the stamina to keep it up. Arabians are, and I believe have been, wonderful warhorses.

Also, about that comment sitting on the butt of the draft if you have no saddle, not sure where you heard that or if you were joking but that is total BS, she's in the right spot. You have to be a pretty crap rider to damage their spine or wrench their head up so they hollow their back a lot to give them back problems. Swayback tends to come from two things; having a lot of foals and/or bad riders. A saddle doesn't remedy that much, it just allows the rider a better seat. Being a terrible rider with a saddle ruins their back just like anything else.

Another thing is, warhorses weren't always stallions though they were likely preferred for their vigor and their temper likely did not come from the fact that they were not gelded, not all stallions are evil. Have you seen a war bridle? They are brutal. Most horses likely were not treated terribly kind either. In war a horse is a tool, if it dies you get a new one. I doubt they were perfect, but they had some nasty leverage employing bits back in the day, and they have only gotten worse today. Good thing Horses are inferior to automobiles! 

The shaders on Dx9 do the white horses a lot of justice drawing would really biff if applied to them, so! We are going to see what we can do, perhaps make horses for the Dx7 users that have more drawn-in detail and then possibly leave the ones on Dx9 for the most part alone(save for the tails and a few other parts) since the shader does a good job.

Same horse, one's just in Dx7 and the other with Dx9.

So we're working on making them better.

I'll see what I can do about the hair textures and may have an update for them if they come out well.
Thanks for the tips. :3

I knew I forgot something, the black armor isn't supposed to be in there actually. I thought I fully removed that but I'll go do that now. It's a remnant of some custom armor me and my friend made. I hope it hasn't been crashing anything. >_<

Luckily the weirdo horses aren't applied to any troops, so no being mauled by an army of pink ponies~

EDIT: Ok, it -should- be all fixed now. I always do something like that no matter how hard I look. Fail.

I got that same error at one point. I think it's because i tabbed too soon and mindlessly clicked retreat, so it registered a loss but there was no script there to lower party moral for the loss and had a heart attack. Might be what happened. XD Guessing.
I did it before then with no losses and it did fine, so....

I've only ever gotten one horse from the loot pit with a 10 in looting skill.

And that horse was my own from when they kicked my butt and took it from me a few days before. How do I know it was mine? It was a custom. =_=;

Well, after much looking and about 5 different search terms I couldn't find anything, nor the thread I was looking for. =_=
So you can stuff a sock in it about the search function. Why not make sure it's got results before spouting off to use it, because I didn't get anything useful. Or use your simply stunning IQ and suggest a term to search for that works. You know, something helpful.

On the other hand, spawning a chest sounds useful. I'll try that myself. Thanks. :3

I never listen to any music while playing games or reading books because if I do the music is eternally connected in my head with the thing i'm doing and this is poisoning good music for me. sounds weird? phhh!

Yeah I know that feeling. That's what I get for putting xmass music in my itunes and playing M&B. out of 800-something songs it can be techno, classical, new age, rock, classic rock, japanese, french, russian... Slaughtering 30+ bandits to some giddy music can really make it hard to concentrate because I'm trying not to laugh...
Then I hear it later and that's all that comes to mind!

I'm looking for the same answer, if I come up with anything I shall be back...

Possible Argument on my counter argument against the second argument - It is easy to swing fast against non living objects.

点击展开...

I saw that and started laughing. Obviously living creatures have some sort of magnetic field around them that slows down your swing speed. Now, if they meant that it would slow you down by getting your blade stuck int heir body, well, that happens to all weapons meant to penetrate flesh; but it wouldn't effect the initial swing speed.
I like the Two-Handers the way they are, they seem to be fine. Last I checked they didn't fit the description of Cloud's Butterknife sword and thus, shouldn't have to swing like it. x_x

It is rather boring and the wives have little use after marriage, it seems, apart from for holding feasts.

I married my character off to Lady Nadha of Khergit Khanate. Easy enough to get her married to my character, her father wants to marry her off and so long as you're a warrior she's easy to get. I had relationship of '20' when she married my character. I thought, with her being a fighty sort of woman (the bard says she prefers hunting & fighting), that she'd come along with me and fight alongside me (ala 'The Wedding Dance' mod), but no, she sat in the castle.
Took so long just to get the relationship to 20, to just have to ride across Calradia for a single point...that was annoying enough, I'd have hated it if I'd gone for one of the females who requires a high relationship & very high honour/renown.

Eesh I hope husbands aren't the same way. How boring... I mean, I love the whole challenge and everything but... A harvest-moon wife you woo and dump in your house like a dresser is really a bummer. x_x
My horse is far more useful.
