First of all, sorry for the textwall. I've tried my best to keep it clean and readable. I've moderately failed, but here it goes:
I've got a bug, it seems. As of beta 1.0 and 1.1, the mod won't launch. It crashes on what would be the last moments of the "Processing INI files". No warnings, no errors. Simply quits at this part. I've tried the following, to no avail:
-redowloading the native module (I doubt it could have been the source for the problem)
-redowloading the mod itself (even tried another web browser)
-downloaded and compiled the source code over the old files
-same as above, with different browser
-renaming the module ( I know, what this could possibly do to help?
)
-played other mods (everything else works fine, including native)
-searched for syntax errors in module.ini from the mod (none found)
-removed all the new options added at the end of module.ini (a little dangerous, I guess? Still nothing changed, for better or worse)
So, what could it possibly be?
Also, a couple suggestions:
-Considering that the new item system restricts a little the presence of good items everywhere, i tought about, why not add the option to repair stuff upon talking with merchants? Upon my view, it wouldn't be much more of a change than being able to sell prisoners to prison guards, which is simply improving quality of life. I've seen it done on several mods, and it is really a plus on them. It could be like this
-Limited to repairing. Improving an weapon past normal sounds a little overpowered, and blacksmiths can't do miracles.
-For the weaponsmith, it could take 24 hours.
-For armour, 48 hours.
-For horses, either five days or a whole week. (This one is slightly redundant, since lame horses do heal if not being used and having at least 1 in wound treatment. Still, I see no problem in giving this choice to the player, if he can pay for it
-Castle walkers. Making castles feel a little less empty would be a good thing. Dyplomacy.litdum did it, and AWOIF too if I recall correctly.
-Fixing shields. Mainly nordic round shields, which seem to be force fields, catching arrows that don't even touch them.
(The next one may look a little out of scope for a base mod, but still...)
-Alternate weapons mode. Similar to a small mod that goes by the same name. Some weapons in the game could benefit from this, namely one handed hammers (using pick side for piercing damage) picks (blunt side for blunt damage), footman hammer/bec de corbin alternating between blunt/pierce side of head, over-under thrusting option for polearms such as glaive, scythes, voulge, etc)
-Speaking of the bec de corbin, after checking with Morgh's thing, it seems it carried over his abilities from vanilla game, being only able to thrust and overswing. Being able to side-swing it makes some sense (maybe applying the same treatment done for the long hafted maces, being swing-able from horseback?)
