Thanks! How about the $setting_spearwall one? Any help?

Good modder should accomodate, not only people who like all features his mod has, but also some who don't like any of the features. So he put ability to turn off/disable the feature.That the $setting_use_spearwall 's used for.
The variable usualy be set or reset in camp menu. If you want to test and make the spearwall always be on, put (assign, " $setting_use_spearwall", 1) somewhere on "start" script.

So, with that $setting_use_spearwall the player has a choice whether it is activated or not? If so, I don't think I'll disable it.

I did because I was sick of the errors. Maybe I will activate it later on, after I get sea battles implemented.

Oddly enough, I can no longer brace at all. Can anyone see what's wrong with this:
I'll have to point out this is more or less CinuzIta's stuff, only with my items and item lengths. Credit therefore goes to him and, apparently, to Cruger.

hi is there a mod version of this spear bracing kit? as it seems a really good idea, and I would like it in my game.
But I don't have the know-how to put it in my native game
But I don't have the know-how to put it in my native game
I learn rubik's improved autoloot codes, and I think it can be used to optimize spearbrace code as below that I 'd like to share in this forum.
What I do is to add slot_item_weapon_length to all weapon, so it will make easier to check spear length.
First, rewrite parts of rubik's improved autoloot codes used, if you don't have it yet. If you have it already, just add lines that I sign with # for spearbrace.
On the begining module_scripts.py

Nice dunde.
I was just wondering, is it possible to adapt the spear brace code to remove a cavalry from her horse without killing either of them? I'd really like to simulate bill hooks.
I'm guessing I should first look at how berserker pride added the damage to the rider, but actually figuring out how to push them off the horse is beyond my imagination.
