So I wasn't sure where to put this but there's a number of mechanics you can implement to almost any mod that I haven't seen on the vast majority of mods.
Overhead stabbing (2h)
What is overhead stabbing?
If you've played Napoleonic Wars, With Fire and Sword, or Viking Conquest you'll know you can stab in two directions with a spear. You can add this functionality to native as well as most if not all mods.
Modsys version
Overhead stabbing (1h)
This is a one handed version of the above, which means you can stab in two directions with a shield. Essential for a hoplite.
Modsys version
Crouching and pike bracing
Adds crouching functionality and fixes the normal animation issues you see with it as well as pike bracing, which if you've played With Fire and Sword or Napoleonic Wars you've seen. It's basically crouching with a weapon flagged as a pike, and if any cavalry rides into the pike they'll take huge damage. You can also kill the rider if you aim it right.
Modsys version
With Fire and Sword formation system
The WFAS formations elaborate on native's formations by adding some very useful extra functionality. The main advantage of these is that they can be used in scenes where advanced formations mods such as PBOD can't.
Module.ini options
These aren't displayed in most mods, but you can paste them in the module.ini for them and they should work on almost all of them as long as they're running on the latest version of warband.
Halfswording
Halfswording is generally using a sword as a much more close quarters weapon by using both hands on the weapon akin to a polearm. Here we're going to refer to it as using it as a short spear.
Modsys version
Mordhau
Mordhau is a technique in halfswording where you flip the sword over and use the pommel as a mace.
Modsys version
Thrust buffs
So natively thrusts are kinda crappy due to their slow speed. In Viking Conquest the animation speed was tweaked slightly so the attack ends up being that much faster, and much more effective.
Modsys version
Formation mod compatibility
So a big problem with formation mods is that most of them tend to be incompatible with the WFAS formations since both of these use F4 as a new menu. What you can do is rebind the menu key to another key in order to have both on with no overlap issue.
If anybody has any questions or needs help, post or PM me.

Make sure all the lines match up nice and straight, if anything is offset the game might crash or the animation won't work.
5. Save and exit
6. Get Morgh's WB/WFAS editor
7. Open the item_kinds1.txt with Morgh's
8. Scroll down and find the weapon you're looking for
9. Uncheck the overswing_polearm flag (in the "Capabilities" column)
10. Scroll down to the bottom and check the overswing_spear flag
11. You may want to buff the pierce damage depending on the polearm, native thrust damages are kind of low
12. Update and save, then exit
13. Test to see if it works, if you've done it right it should
14. If you want to get rid of that blur effect, open up Morgh's again and scroll down to the bottom of the left column (the "Flags" column) then check the no_blur flag, update, save, exit.

5. Save and exit
6. Head to your header_items.py file
7. You'll have to define some new combined flags which'll make adding these flags to weapons a lot easier, here's some I use:
itc_spear_upstab = itc_spear|itcf_force_64_bits|itcf_overswing_spear|itcf_overswing_musket|itcf_slashleft_polearm|itcf_slashright_polearm

itc_great_lance_upstab = itc_greatlance|itcf_force_64_bits|itcf_overswing_spear|itcf_overswing_musket
itc_pike_upstab = itc_parry_polearm|itcf_force_64_bits|itcf_overswing_spear|itcf_thrust_polearm
These are used for their appropriate weapons (ie spears use the first, lances the second, greatlances that you can't block with the third, and two handed polearms that can upthrust the fourth).
8. Now open your module_items.py file.
9. Head down to the weapons you'll want to add this to, so probably any of the four listed above (spears, lances, greatlances, pikes).
10. You'll want to replace the redundant attack capabilities (ie itc_spear for spears since the new version has it included) with your new itc_ combination flag.
11. Depending on what weapons you're changing you might want to keep some item attack types so that's up to your discretion.
12. You may want to buff the pierce damage depending on the polearm, native thrust damages are kind of low.
13. Save, exit, and compile.
14. Test to see if it works, if you've done it right it should.
15. If you want to get rid of that blur effect, add the itp_no_blur capability to the item before the itc/itcf capabilities, update, save, exit.

19. Cntrl f ani_low_walk
20. Delete the ani_low_walk and ani_crouch_down lines and replace them with:
load_mod_resource = mbg_pastebin_anims
21. Save and exit, and test to see if it works.
Adds crouching functionality and fixes the normal animation issues you see with it as well as pike bracing, which if you've played With Fire and Sword or Napoleonic Wars you've seen. It's basically crouching with a weapon flagged as a pike, and if any cavalry rides into the pike they'll take huge damage. You can also kill the rider if you aim it right.
1. You'll need to download an animations file, which you can get here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/68azscba6a6b4kf/mbg_pastebin_anims.brf
2. You should have Notepad++ by now, open your actions.txt with it
3. Cntrl f "crouch"
4. There will be multiple locations where animations have to be replaced, (change the search function from up to down on cntrl f) starting from first to last:

The WFAS formations elaborate on native's formations by adding some very useful extra functionality. The main advantage of these is that they can be used in scenes where advanced formations mods such as PBOD can't.
1. Open the module.ini

3. Change use_advanced_formation = 0 to 1
Alternatively, if it isn't in the module.ini then you can just add use_advanced_formation = 1 to the bottom

Halfswording is generally using a sword as a much more close quarters weapon by using both hands on the weapon akin to a polearm. Here we're going to refer to it as using it as a short spear.

Make sure the all the lines are correct, the game might crash otherwise.
You can change the names if you want, I just use them so they're easier to identify
4. Save and close
5. If you pasted these at the bottom then open the item_kinds1 with morgh's and it'll tell you it detected some new items. Click ok then save changes, morgh's will update the item count for you.
6. Test in game
How does this work?
Basically like those long axes in native, but the secondary mode is now thrust oriented.

Mordhau is a technique in halfswording where you flip the sword over and use the pommel as a mace.

How does this work?
If you've played Napoleonic Wars or With Fire and Sword, when you use a non-bayonetted firearm as a melee weapon, the mesh flips over (via the offset_musket flag). This is just applying that same principle to melee weapons. The animation stuff is just there so there's an animation to show the character flips the weapon. It isn't necessary so you can take it off by removing the has_bayonet and cant_reload_while_moving flags.

So natively thrusts are kinda crappy due to their slow speed. In Viking Conquest the animation speed was tweaked slightly so the attack ends up being that much faster, and much more effective.

So a big problem with formation mods is that most of them tend to be incompatible with the WFAS formations since both of these use F4 as a new menu. What you can do is rebind the menu key to another key in order to have both on with no overlap issue.
1. Open your mission_templates.txt (make a backup too)
2. cntrl f mst_lead_charge and scroll down till you find a code block that looks like this:
What you're looking for is that vertical row of 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 65, and 66. You won't really see it as a row here but you will in Notepad++
3. Change the 26 to 51 and 66 to 67. This will rebind the formation menu (and ranks, they seem to be tied together) to F8 and the no division command to F9.
Why these keys?
Well F8 is never called upon even with WFAS commands on, and it's the only way I could get it to work well through text editing.
4. Depending on the mod, you'll most likely have to do this multiple times in the text file as some mods have these formations available in multiple scenes (like Viking Conquest) and others just have them available for battle scenes (like 1257). So just look for code blocks in that pattern and change accordingly.
5. Save and exit.
6. Open the quick_strings.txt (make a backup)
7. Search for one of the formation names (wedge, square, ranks etc)
8. Change the Complex formations/advanced formations string (the string that says what button to press to open the advanced formations menu) to F8 instead of F4 (make sure you do these in the second portion of the string, not the first portion)
9. Change both Ranks and No formation from F4 and F8 to F8 and F9 respectively
10. Cntrl x the Ranks line and erase the line break if it leaves one, then make a line break after square and before no formation and paste the whole ranks string there
11. Save and exit
12. Test it to make sure it all works properly
There's a few issues with this still, like on mods that let you memorize division placement F7 interferes with one of the WFAS commands, and when you select a troop division you get overlap from the WFAS weapon commands and the advanced formation menu, but since it's rebound it's only an aesthetic issue.
2. cntrl f mst_lead_charge and scroll down till you find a code block that looks like this:

3. Change the 26 to 51 and 66 to 67. This will rebind the formation menu (and ranks, they seem to be tied together) to F8 and the no division command to F9.
Why these keys?
Well F8 is never called upon even with WFAS commands on, and it's the only way I could get it to work well through text editing.
4. Depending on the mod, you'll most likely have to do this multiple times in the text file as some mods have these formations available in multiple scenes (like Viking Conquest) and others just have them available for battle scenes (like 1257). So just look for code blocks in that pattern and change accordingly.
5. Save and exit.
6. Open the quick_strings.txt (make a backup)
7. Search for one of the formation names (wedge, square, ranks etc)
8. Change the Complex formations/advanced formations string (the string that says what button to press to open the advanced formations menu) to F8 instead of F4 (make sure you do these in the second portion of the string, not the first portion)
9. Change both Ranks and No formation from F4 and F8 to F8 and F9 respectively
10. Cntrl x the Ranks line and erase the line break if it leaves one, then make a line break after square and before no formation and paste the whole ranks string there
11. Save and exit
12. Test it to make sure it all works properly
There's a few issues with this still, like on mods that let you memorize division placement F7 interferes with one of the WFAS commands, and when you select a troop division you get overlap from the WFAS weapon commands and the advanced formation menu, but since it's rebound it's only an aesthetic issue.
If anybody has any questions or needs help, post or PM me.
