I assume your trouble is with getting it to work and not the dl? In that case, what you are dling is a file that replaces another file in the M&B directory. Notice that when you open your M&B folder, there is a file there called "options". This is the file that you are going to replace. Now as always, you want to backup the original. To do this you can either transfer it to a different directory, or rename it something like "option_backup". Then all you do is drag the new file to the M&B directory (same place the old one was).

I noticed a problem while running this mod, and i didn't see it mentioned before, so i was wondering if anyone else experienced the same thing. When running this mod/hack my mouse gets inverted...any ideas? Also, i don't seem to see the names above friendly units. Good job though, i'm like!

As I said,

you will have to set up your options again

If you can, download the program rather than the options.dat file, it won't reset your settings and you can adjust the battle size any way you want.

Then will there also be the option to increase the battle size without this mod?

There is already a way to do that. By modding mission_templates.txt... .

 

[compfreak]

I thought that only increased the size of the party? Or does party size affect battle size?

 

[Ancientwanker]

Mission_templates not party_templates. Looks like there is some stuff there with text and numbers regarding battles.

Nice mod though but my computer has trouble running wincalc. heh.

Hardclyff, you're stealing all the glory man. This mod wasn't nearly difficult enough to make to merit all this fame

 

[Hardclyff]

Ahh, envy, the scourge of men

No really, noob is right. It took about 15 minutes to find out what is going on and another 30 to write that program. Plus, noob's jerky nick inspired me.

Great ideas are usually very simple. Like Einstein's E=mc^2.

when i use it to increase the numder of people in the game, the game crashed
when i go into the game and play a moment, the game crashed !!!

God thats excellent, soloed against 80 dark knights all at ONES, and kill the entire army in one go.

Dual p4 2x 3.2Ghz + icecap (40% overlock/each), 2gig ram, 512 mb vid card. Did the 500%, and my fps dropped to 12 -.- but it was still playable and VERY enjoyable. You can still exploid the dumb npc.. bunch them up in one HUGE group and keep riding circles while smacking them with 2-h axe.

10 minutes later, i killed 50 dark knights and unmounted 30 others, then it was just a measure of riding them down with spirited charger and skull smackin them on the way out ..

It was actually a challenge and good fun.

I wouldn't call that simple. The formula is simple, sure, but not the theory.

 

[Blade]

Well I have been playing it at 250% and have had no crashes whatsoever. I did turn off the permanent corpses option! Damn the fun factor went up a notch with this!!

Thnx Hardclyff!!

 

[compfreak]

I LOVE this mod! Fighting groups of sea raiders and khergits with my horse-archer army is just incredible! Thanks.

Darn I forgot the [joke] [/joke] tags. :/

hardclyf, i have d/l both the options texts, and the program, and then it won't work when i try to install the little program. HEELLLPPPP MEE

 

[Hardclyff]

And what exactly doesn't work?

 

[illyrian]

THis happens when i try to run battle size changer
