A simple Mount&Blade Editor

[dehgan]

Yo. I just wanted to find something so I could start trying to make weappons and things and maps and...other stuff...and..well...you people get the idea. I wouldn't mind needing to get multiple things but if someone could say...post links or something I'd really appreciate it.


Oh, yeah... just making sure you know I wanted to MAKE MY OWN WEAPONS...which will be awesomly overpowered.

Err, just look at the first stickied topic in the forum clearly marked UNOFFICIAL EDITING TOOLS . . .

Yes but...I'm not the brightest lightbulb in the pack...

Lol, join the club.

 

[dehgan]

Hah. I guess no one is awesome at everything.

Speak for yourself.

 

[Deus Ex]

Speak for yourself.

Well, everything except perhaps humility? *big grin*

This thread is getting dangerously off course...

Dehgan: What kind of things do you want to do? There are the python files which can be used for MANY things, including changing behaviors and parties and much more.

If you want to make new maps with different terrain and towns there is Thorgrims map editor.

If you want to use a lot of the existing stuff and make new and different versions of stuff - like change stats and such - plus a whole lot more - there is Effidian's Mount&Blade Editor - which can do most of the stuff that you can do in Python and a bunch more (IIRC) because it can work on the native files that have not been included in the Modular system yet.

If you want to create amazing new graphics for weapons or shields or whatever - and such - there are tools that can be used to make those available in the game - depending on the complexity of what you want to do.

There is a great deal you can do - have fun checking it all out. Use the Forum - there are two whole sections on modding ...

You best friend is the search button along with an appreciative and friendly attitude!!!

It can be daunting at first to try and sort through all the stuff - but nearly all the people here are really great and more than willing to help you out if you are polite and appreciative

(and do leg work yourself, nobody is going to want to do your scut work for you - if you are too lazy to figure out how to do something yourself - don't ask someone else to do it for you)

Research first, chances are the answer is already here on the boards.

Then when you ask a question, it is usually a good idea to ask folks to point you to the thread where it is documented if your question has already been answered (this is important: if they do, READ IT!)

Ask folks for an example, then you can see how things work and figure out how to use it to do what you want..

So there ya go, what do you want to do? Have fun (and welcome to the forums).

Well aren't I just speacial? I just got my first giant response of crushing intelligence. Oh, yeah thanks for tips and such....what I meant with my first post was something like if someone knew somehting that was easy to use and such and they happened to have the link if they could tell me, so sorry if it came out wrong. I was tired when I wrote my first post...oh and this is gonna sound really dumb but...what's the search key. *Prepares for oncoming ridicule*

 

[Raybur Ravenloc]

very top of the page, between FAQ and Memberlist, underneath taleworlds.com, above 'You have no new messages'... you get the idea

i think that thorgrim's map editor and effidian's editor would probably be best for you to start out with..

 

[Deus Ex]

Well aren't I just speacial? I just got my first giant response of crushing intelligence.

uhmm, I was not trying to be critical, I hope it did not come out that way. I was simply trying to give you an idea of the many different possibilities.

And Raybur is right, the short answer is Thorgrim's map editor and Effidians M&B editor.

Again, I apolgize if my post came across wrong.

apart from the unofficial and official mod tools, there are some tutorials (I've copied some of their links here: http://mbwiki.info/index.php/Mod_development#Tutorials)

Oh, Deus Ex you were fine. I was just being sarcastic. So yeah thanks for the help and stuff. Iworkinf with Effidans and Thorgrims editors but...well...er...basically I can't seem to figure out how to do anything in Thorgrims. I read the in editor controls and help thing but I can't figure out how to make towns or set it up so I can make the towns work and such...does thorgrim have a tutorial?

 

[Ancientwanker]

Far as I know, you cant make towns in thorgrims editor. You do that in the parties section of the unofficial editor. They will then appear in thorgrims map editor at the location you specified in the other editor. You can then select them in Thorgrims editor and move them around. The new coordinates will be saved in your parties file.

just in before close

 

[Thorgrim]

Ancientwanker: You can add new towns, if you go into party mode and click the + button (on the toolbar, not the + key)

dehgan: This is at the very top of the Map editor thread... it might be handy if you have not read it yet (not sure if you meant just the help that comes up when you start the editor up when you said you read the help thing...).

To make towns work you need to add scripts etc for them in Effidians editor or python. Expect to spend some time getting used to it all, it takes a bit of messing around to figure things out.

I've been planning to make a tutorial for the editor, but really, if you read the help page you should be able to do just about everything.

I had a 10 year old kid playing with it the other day, and if he can use it, it cant be all that hard to figure out... though I do want to explain some of the more complex features some time.

 

[Lu Bu]

The editor isnt that hard to figure out... just test things and if you add 20 towns like me who cares... let a 10 year old kid handle it!

 

[dehgan]

No you see I can't figure out HOW to add towns.

 

[Thorgrim]

You can add new towns, if you go into party mode and click the + button (on the toolbar, not the + key)

Then you just click on the map to place it (by default its placed at 0,0)

Then click it, press enter, rename it. Then the rest is up to you how you let players interact with it.
