Ah, right. As you say, it's not so easy, especially with multiple flags. Trying different combinations is the only way. I suppose it wouldn't be too much of a hassle to code a small tool to come up with the combination, given the values from item_header.py.
It's pretty straight-forward. Looking at header_items.py reveals that itp_type_arrows is given as a hex value of 0x0000000000000005. Itp_primary is given as a hex value of 0x0000000000400000. Converting these values to decimal (f.ex. using this site) gives us values 5 and 4194304. Using bitwise calculation (here) we get 5 (bitwise or) 4194304 = 4194309.
Not being able to pick up the shields is way sillier, imho. I know it's a game but not being able to pick up shields is arbitrary and an immersion-breaker.
These images are making me nostalgic, Warband beta stage was incredibly fun and the community spirit was absolutely great!
I remember almost dying from laughter at the bug in one the betas that made all the limbs on all people on screen rotate and spin widly when the game paused to load another map
During siege tonight I approached an enemy capo blowing his horn and attacked, but my 2 (or maybe 3, I forget) overhead axe strikes just went through his head without doing any damage.
I could've been situated badly even though it looked like I was close. Maybe it was lag/something else; I don't know. I'll see if I can reproduce it.
Was that translated by Google Translate? Seems so...
It would be nice to have Finns (or even Sami Lapps) as a sort of rare-occasion troop or faction that pop up very rarely only. Would make sense, as they fought alongside and against both vikings and Novgorodians (Rus). I'm pretty sure it's feasible with the module system too.
Cool thing could be if it was possible to throw every spear, but ofcouse you only have that single one, then you have to pick it up again.. ?? its possible in real life so why not
Unfortunately, even though this is very easy to add, it has one big downpoint: since all thrown weapons get a chance of stucking in shields in Warband, even the longest spears can do so. And it looks really bad when they do, with the spear clipping through everything.
Huh, what's this based on? The Tavastians, Karelians and Finns Proper were already well established by this time. They could easily be lumped together as a Finnish faction, and adding one would even make sense as Finns fought both vikings and the Rus from Novgorod during this period.
