Hrmm. I thought the visit_lady_condition bug was squashed before release. Oh well. I'll check that out.
Just curious, but have the bug fixes you've posted about been incorporated into the installer?
The source in the installer will be exactly the same as the source I use to build the mod, yes.
Do I have to redownload installer to get these bugs fixed?
Technically, no, I could just pack up the text files, and people could manually install a patch, since I'm not adding content. It's just a lot more convenient, and most people don't know how to install a textfile mod properly.
To export a character, you just go to the character screen, then click the Statistics button and click "export character". Then you can start a new game, and once the game starts, you can do the reverse to import the character, and you get all your gold / levels / skills back.
You do *not* get your Companions, items, or towns back. But you can edit the file that gets exported (to C:\Documents and Settings\your_username\My Documents\Mount&Blade Warband Characters, typically) to give yourselves 100K gold or whatever, so that you can build your armies up again right away.
When I release this update, you will have to do this, though. Adding new troops to the game usually breaks savegames entirely. This is why Taleworlds hasn't done this very often, I suspect.
I will really try to do it only this once, and set aside a bunch of placeholders for the future, so that I don't have to do it again.
