I was watching some Youtube stuff today, and this exchange I participated in reminded me of the old days. I remembered I had a Taleworlds account long ago, and it still works! Hopefully you get a laugh out of the screen shot I took. I did troll a little bit with my replies, but I really am glad he reminded me of the good ol days.

I raise a glass to you all... Good times.

You need at least one (or two) points in the tactics skill to be able to 'plan for the battle carefully'. You cannot change battle options without tactics skill.
The easiest way to enjoy the battle tactics is to:
1)Don't be a one man army. It took me a while to get used to, but to be a good commander you need to not die, and you need to be able to see what is going on.

2) memorize a few of the commands. Holding [f1] for example, will bring up a flag you can place ahead of you that will tell specific/all troops to go to a location and stay. The number keys are linked to specific troops, and you can make custom assignments. [f3] is charge.

3) Learn some tactics. For sea raiders and taiga bandits: As the battle is beginning, get your archers on a high spot [3]+hold[f1]. Get your infantry in front of them [1]+hold[f1]. Send your Calvary off to flank [2]+hold[f2]... you can put the flag really far away. if you have a lot of cavalry the enemy may break off and chase them, so wait until they are close enough that turning towards the cavalry means a kidney full of arrows and no shield to block. When the enemy is within 50ft of your infantry, send in the Calvary to crush them and break the charge, you can tell your archers to hold fire so you don't waste Calvary. Then have your infantry charge. If the enemy has a ton of arrow and throwing axes, you can always ride out and piss about within range so they waste there ammunition before they hit your defensive line...

Sorry guys, The screenshots are broken.

I don't know about compatibility for anything other than Warband/Vanilla M&B.

Also, I don't have time to fix any of these problems right now .

You sir, are a genius. I might be able to make something worth updating the tweaks. Now i just need the time.

Not to necro (I hate doing that, but I just rediscovered this), but I LOVE THIS! If you take all the blood enhancement tweaks and paste the code lines over and over (basically, make about 9 game_blood entries), you can make a real prank. Granted...they take alot of FPS, but I was able to make a blood mod for my little brother by making the blood literally explode in all directions from the player.

Crazy! I had no idea that would work! Please post your code so I can try it out. If I like it I will include it in the Tweaks and give you credit.

I've seen a couple of people post about black screenshots:
For those that are only getting black  when they take a screenshot, Alt-enter puts you in windowed mode. Take your screenshot in windowed mode and your screenshot should then show up.
Hope that helps someone.

Hello, firstly this is a fantastic mod and secondly combined with these textures http://www.mbrepository.com/file.php?id=2139 makes it awesome, but you don't happen to know how to make the blood on the characters a higher resolution?

Click to expand...

Thanks! I'm really glad you played around with it and looked for other textures to betterifacate it to your needs. The textures are set sizes as far as I know, but you can make your own larger textures and find out. You will need a plugin for for Photoshop from nvidia to read the texture files, but its not hard to track down. You might be able to make some changes in the python files to adjust the allowed texture sizes, but it has been so long I cannot remember.

I going to repost this in case it was missed, but it might have been ignored.

Had some vageir recruits and 2 hunters. Was captured, and got this error readout
 

I was wondering why no one uses filehosting.org as a mirror?
http://www.filehosting.org/faq

I just find megaupload and its like so dammed aggravating and tedious (not to mention slow)
to download from. Is there something nefarious that I am missing in free, free-er I guess,  file hosting (serious question btw)
Thanks!
Floris Mod Pack is the best, hands down. I just need it faster when I need it is all.

EDIT----------
Also, something more topical. I was captured, and I got a script error readout.

I have no fix for the green blood 
I've played Warband using my blood tweaks since a few months after Warbands release, and
I have yet to encounter green blood. Sorry guys.

I've still not encountered that problem... I'll have a look at the code...

change the bold text to:

thats the only thing I can think would make a difference.

here is the changed code, paste over the old in particle txt :

Yep!... the particle file doesn't change much. 

Specialist said:

Good idea with the alphabetic order too.
One more idea, make a backup of your mb_warband exe and all the DLL files. It doesn't matter if your WB is registered, because it's stored in the registry, that way if someone overwrites DLL files (or puts a crack and then gets the full version legally) they can do it without hassle. Since obviously people do pirate the game (and get banned here because of it....). Just a thought.

It was in the works...
I can imagine any file can be damaged some how, but some things should be left unsaid. Having a pirated version of Mount and Blade is like having A pirated version of Dwarf fortress. You are just a cheap, stupid, *******. (The guys from DF make a living off donations, same as the guys from taleworlds make a living off of "donations".)

I'm glad someone else thinks its a decent idea. I've been putting it off because I forgot how crippling it can be
when you ruin your game files, lost or destroyed the installer, and your internet sucks, or you are too new to understand
whats going on when you install a mod.
We'll see how this turns out.

-Addendum-

I think I will sort larger files by alphabetical order. The CommonRes *.brf files for example be split into groups. A large group
such as the A's will be their own download, where as tht Q's will be lumped in with an adjacent letter. Also
Small tutorials for noobs is a must.

Specialist said:

Good idea for the meshes. Honestly, you know what I believe is most needed would be a full backup of all commonres and textures. Then a backup of sound and music.
People like me may eventually need that...although it will be faster to redownload the whole game again. Lol

Good suggestions! They will be put in next.
I am planning on breaking it up into small chunks for quicker download.

Go to options and select "Show damage in battle"?

Click to expand...

Id say. I guess I was playing native and turned those options off. sorry, bout that. I had no idea it would have saved that info
to the module.ini.  I assumed it would keep that info in, my documents/mount&blade warband .

-edit-
hmmm....

-edit 2-

Just tried the native on a different computer in trial mode. Works fine.

I have no idea how you broke it so bad. But it is possible. might as well download the latest patch and see if that fixes your problem.
The patch is much smaller ~90mb....  http://download.taleworlds.com/mb_warband_upgrade_1100_to_1143.exe

-edit 3-
try clicking the options off, apply, then on again. then try them off if that doesnt work.

but seriously, You might as well suck it up and re-download the installer. might be all day, or 2, but you will have it. save the installer to a zip drive or cd/dvd if your internet sucks that bad.

-EDITED- added download link

I can actually. http://www.mbrepository.com/file.php?id=3139.

Here is the module system, you will need to download and install python to use it, but it will
make you a new native folder.

Heres how to use the module system.

start at part 1 - getting started 

Not in any way that wont involve downloading. Dont you have an install file for warband already on your computer? How did you install it in the first place? look in your: my documents/downloads folder.

Re-install (after uninstalling, or deleting warband) just because you might have (more than likely) messed up the core files.
Else, download an OSP package until you properly re-install the game.
Just reinstall right now and back up the native folder, it will save you alot of trouble
