Will the reticule you shared change the aiming position of guns? or do you simple aim it at them dead on and fire (providing there isnt enough distance to cause bullet drop)

Thanks for the replies lads, I've changed it to a different sound and it's much better

Now to see what else I can twiddle about with :]

Bless your little cotton socks

If you're aiming to hit a group of people in the far distance, you're going to have to aim at least an entire reticule to 2 recitules height higher to hit (That means don't aim at people through your reticule, raise your sight about 4-6cm higher than the target, the bullet drops a huge amount compared to M&M)
A little tip to see how far you've fired too, when you fire. use the button to view outfit and look to the side of your character in third person view, you should see the shot land a lot easier. Use that to gauge exactly how much higher you should be aiming (If it only falls half way, double the height you aim etc). Bullets are still pretty accurate at far distances, I don't have too much trouble still hitting stuff. but don't expect to snipe the exact guy you have your sights on, if there are no larger crowds, save your time and try to move into a closer distance

It's still more a game of skill when aiming at distances than it is luck, so ignore players who say otherwise

Just a little tip for reloading guns. on any of the guns, once you have finished putting the rod in the gun and you're about to do that final check thing on the back of your gun, you're free to move. you don't have to wait until it's all complete, it won't cancel the reload. I see a lot of people that just wait around and waste time when they could be moving earlier

I thinkI have noticed that you can break it into 3 actions:

pushing the ball down the barrel

adding the powder

cocking


once any of the first two is accomplished, you can safely move, and your next reload attemopt will start immediatly with the next. ,ove before either of them is finished, and you start over again.

It's powder, ball, rodding, cocking. you cant stop until the rodding is pretty much finished. but if you do stop near the end, it allows you to continue the reload when you stop to reload again (after being forced to move) the only thing you will do is finish off the rodding and then cocking. you don't have to start over from the beginning

I think what your talking about must be a bug I have seen it before where the rider is hit or the horse and the horse just trots away and the rider dismounts. Not fair if you cannot attack him.

That's exactly what happens. I heard it's intended, but I really don't see how. It's not dismounting the cav by killing the horse since the horse runs away. It has to either be knocking the rider off the horse, which is impossible since the animations wouldn't work for that. or just a bug.

I hope it's the latter and it gets fixed because it happens way too often to me. It's hard to deal with when you're fighting off a horde of cav which are surrounding you

Btw. do you know where this hit-sound file is located and is it "legal" to edit it?

Click to expand...

I think it's the 3 files located in mount&blade warband > sounds. They're called arrow_hit_boddy_1, arrow_hit_boddy_2, arrow_hit_boddy_3.

Don't know if you can mod them though

Click to expand...

No, those are the sounds you hear when YOU are hit by an arrow.
What you want to edit is "mp_arrow_hit_target".

Someone edit it and tell me how to do it!

Sounds like you are experiencing a problem called mouse acceleration, something I have thankfully not had to deal with in Mount and Blade. Did you have the same problem in any of the other MB titles?

It doesn't do it if I'm not running RadeonPro, so im not sure what exactly causes it when I am

I use rifles a lot and I know that I've never 1 hit anyone with a rifle, and if you parry with a rifle then the bayonet can stab faster than you can counter swing. Plus the range of a rifles attacks is shorter than a bayonet. It's not unbalanced at all.

Sounds fun, count me in! :]

probably NW isn't meant to be as realistic as that mod, so we now have female avatars with anime ponytails and even female voices

Hey, I resemble that remark!

Many of my settings were already similar but I changed a few that you recommended and I seem to have a good boost in FPS, it sticks around mid 50-60 at 200 players in a server and stays at 60 when people begin to die (It's capped at 60 for me)

So it seems to work, Thanks! :]

Edit: It only made a slight change, but that's better than nothing

It's a feature. There is an option in the admin panel that turns force dismount on/off (with a customisable percentage of triggering it)

But it looks ridiculous? Why don't they have it like in M&M, where people either took a hit and survived/died, or their horse died and they flew off the horse?

Magical flying men is just strange.
