Quick Questions/Quick Answers (Unofficial 'Ask Questions Here' Q&A Thread)

[Windyplains]

Hey guys, I'm a newbie in this mod and i've seached for days for manual and walkthrough but i can't find it anywhere so there are several questions i wanna ask you pro. Plz help me.

Floris Wiki

-How to buy acres in game?

Visit any town and go to the moneylenders/landowners menu option.  Adjust the slider for buying land to however much you want and then click the "Verify" button underneath it.

-How to plan tactic with the formation like infantry make a shield wall and push the enemy slowly, archer is behind the infantry and creat a cover fire. I can control cavarly on my own.

You need to have a tactics of 2+ in order to access the pre-battle orders & deployment options before a fight.  In combat you can access the formations via the F4 menu.  Shield wall for instance would be '1' (select infantry) -> 'F4' (formations menu) -> F5 (shield wall).

-I buy a ship and load it with 50 troops but when i set sail, there are only me and my 11 companions TT but when i check managing troop, they are still there.

Afraid I can't answer that one for you.

-I have a high end computer 12gb of ram, dual vga 2gb, chip core i7,... but i still have crash when i click upgrade tree trop in the report section and sometimes my screen is frozen but i can still hear the sound and kill the enemy then i use alt tab and go back, it's back to normal

.
Post a copy of your rgl_log.txt, found in your main warband folder, in the support thread with [code][/code]'s.  That would help us try to figure out what is going wrong.

-Finally, it's sound weird but all of my loot when raiding village is butter

 
This is a native bug that was recently introduced with the 1.15? series of updates.

and even a lord in prison can invite me to the tournament 

.
That's a bug.  I'll fix that now.

I've decided to stick with this mod for a long time but it's really confused with bug, crash and weird things.

The mod is lot more stable than you are giving it credit here.

-One more question if someone care, why the start of name of every troop have to write by a letter and a number, it's like their name are not confuse enough.

The letter-number combination is there for your benefit.  A = archer, I = infantry, C = cavalry, H = horse archery and then the number is the tier of the troop.  Looking at the troop tree report this should make sense.

How do I replace the dust effect with the one from native (or any other mod) ?

Look at the F.A.Q. thread and you'll find an option for doing this.

Hey again ! I like to know lil' bit about selling items:

So if i loot lordly equipment with  sell prize 10k but when i go to sell it to market i get about 1k for it :S It make no sense to me. So can you explain me why prize gets so low ?  It is funny cos butter sell prize 1200 stays same and you get more money with selling 1 butter than selling lordly item

That's native design.  Item sale prices are altered by your trade skill.  Trade goods and non-trade goods are also handled differently.

A trade good has a sale value of 90% + 1% (per point of trade skill).
A non-trade good has a sale value of 10% + 9% (per point of trade skill).

about those tournament invites, what do they do, I attend the tournament, win and it says 'quest failed' after some time. If I talk to the lord he says I see you've gotten the invite!
But I never managed to win after that. Is that the problem, do I first need to talk to the lord?

 

[Michiko]

No, you can attend the tournament even if you've never met the lord before. You don't even need to actually participate in the tournament. Just join and you should already see the quest completed message, provided you're at the right tournament. I sometimes just leave if I'm not really in the mood to compete in the tournament, such as if I'm busy with a military campaign. Talking to the lord after completing the quest has no time limit, but it might fail if the lord is exiled (or captured; can't verify this because I've almost always attended tournaments while the lord is inside or near the castle) before you get a chance to turn the quest in.

Depending on your settings, failing to attend may reduce your relation with the lord if I'm not mistaken, and attending will improve it.

 

[thomasNL01]

well, I never got the mission succeeded message. So luckily, I don't play on high setting, haha. And yes, It was the right tournament. Every time

 

[Windyplains]

You can also turn in the quest to the arena master within that town if the lord is not also in the town.

Just came back to warband after a long break, i play the Expanded version and just noticed this "butter bug" when looting villages.

Has there been a fix yet that i can download? Or is everyone playing through this bug...kind of sucks when the money you get now from plundering is way down...

 

[thomasNL01]

It's a native bug, so yeah, no fix yet i think

 

[CaseMonster]

I've played native before but now i can't find out how to give a fief to a lord.  I've tried talking to my minister and to the lord but no luck so far.  Any help is much appreciated!

 

[Barael]

Is there a way for me to disable the custom animation is Floris Expanded? All the mods are so great, but those animations are just too much for me too get used to. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

[anoddhermit]

Is there any way to set it so the game pauses on enemy sighted?

Sometimes I feel like just quickly going around cities solo, to buy stuff or whatever, but I have painstakingly click my way around the map because if I speed it up I'll end up running into bandits or whatever. Even with larger parties it's a nuisance. I end up in fights that realistically I would've easily avoided if things weren't sped up.

No, but the solution I've found is to just tap the quicksave button before you travel over any large distances.  If you get caught, reload.

Assign a companion (or wife) as the minister and it adds more chat possibilities, even giving a fief to a lord!

Is there a fix for the tournament crash yet?

 

[Muglos]

How many Denars do companions take? Does it go by a percentage?

EDIT*

To Clarify I mean by how many denars do they take from loot and things like that. Not their original cost to hire.

 

[firebear]

Hi. I made some wrong choices on my companions, and want to respec them.

is there a feature in floris like export companion?

or can anyone tell me how i combine this with floris? http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php?topic=109481.0

thanks

 

[Michiko]

They don't really take any as far as I can tell. In fact, they loot for you and can sell the loot (automatically or manually) in town, giving you the money.

Yes. It's in the Camp menu -> Take an Action -> Import or Export somethingsomething. You can also use this option to remove the Palantinus title from them if you don't like it.

 

[firebear]

thank god, no more annoying Palantinus title.

also, is there any way to lower my renown? i think i gained it too fast and it ruined a bit of the feel for me.

 

[Yarik1784]

Yes. Just find a group of deserters and accept them into your army.
The amount of renown points lost depends on their (deserters) quantity and quality.

How do I disable shield bash?

 

[Barael]

Would it work if I got rid of the min_mov_skeletons.brf in the expanded resources and replaced it with the same file from the native resources?
