Hello, I registered just to write this. This may be the most awesome mod for Warband yet if it lives up to my expectations. But:
I have the textures.brf bug but cannot seem to fix it. It might be relevant that I bought Warband over Steam and re-installed it specially for this mod. I also started a normal game just in case that made a difference, with no problems.
First I had the error message. Then I tried to follow your suggested solution of copying the resource folder. But: In my base folder there is no Resource folder. The installation seems to treat Native and ACOK as separate modules. There is a resource folder in the native module folder, but it only contains a readme file, and didn't make any difference when copied.
I did find a textures.brf, which in my original installation can be found under C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\mountblade warband\CommonRes. However, even if I copy it (and any other files found there, (and the situation is identical regardless of whether I don't, or in my next attempt do allow the overwrite of ACOF the mod's files where they appear to be older) to C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\mountblade warband\Modules\A Clash of Kings\Resource I still have a problem. The game now starts, loading the mod, but after I select start new game, then the NPCs can be found in one tavern option, and finally OK the default character start setting (from noble to page to revenge), the screen simply stays black. It loads a cursor, and plays the kerching sound, but from then on I can't do anything within the programme although I can still happily alt tab out of it. I'm guessing this should be the bit where I choose my name and appearance, but nothing happens.
Any ideas?
I have just checked and seen that my launcher screen identifies my version as 1.153. This was automatically generated on the first install, without any patching, as Steam does that of its own accord.
UPDATE: It's the banners screen. I played around with the graphics settings and instead of a black screen I can now see the problem at least. It arises when I am prompted to choose a banner. The screen flickers between the banner screen and the previous one, and does not respond to clicks. This didn't happen in the base version, so I have no clue what might be doing this. It is possible to start as a non-noble, but I don't yet know what would happen when I am ennobled and get back to the screen in question.
