The update thread

[Ruthven]

0.3 and the relevant patches are out, and I'm already scheming things up for 0.4. So far...

Companions!
As'right, I'll do thar companions thar.

Miniquests!
If I can find the time. But yes, a few of these will be about.

Advanced Holmgangs
The current tournaments are pretty fail-ific so far; that needs to change.

If the lag is gone I won't be getting any sleep for a few days

When do you plan on releasing the update?

 

[Almalexia]

Am I really one of the only ones who doesn't get this lag?

Rich kid.

@Ruthven, a sense of pang of envy beginning to grow in me. Some nifty features in there!

 

[Ruthven]

Envy? I envy your awesomely elaborate quests, and all your bloody models.

 

[Elenmmare]

Envy? I envy your awesomely elaborate quests, and all your bloody models.

None of which are mine , they all come from the fantastic guys on the team.

 

[Varric]

Love the new kingdom/troop upgrading thing .

 

[Bullethead]

So, when are you expecting to release this new version? AFAIK, 0.25 is the newest version available and it's been out a couple months, right? Or am I just totally confused?

 

[Varric]

I thought 0.25's only been out a couple of weeks.

 

[Ruthven]

Almost a month, IIRC.

New one should be about in... Soon. Ish.

A month, I think.

 

[Ruthven]

Update! On the update thread! Shockingly not ironic!


Anyways, I can release the next version... Now, actually. It's a tad late, so by the time I'm done uploading it (I'm afraid I'm gonna have to upload the whole file, no patch available) it should be around 2:00 AM.

But it's summertime, so **** it, here I go. Out of my list, I fell short on a few fronts. Native uses a seperate texture for LODS as they do for the normal models, so since I couldn't be arsed to re-UV map a bunch of lods, the only things with lods are all of Varric's retextures of AlphaDelta's viking pack. It'll still make a difference, hopefully.

And I didn't want to take the time to write up nine backstories for the factions, so that's not done either.

And still no rape button. But I'm working on it...

Anyhoo, yaarp, 'tis uploading

ECSTATIC DUDE....  

 

[Turanien]

Yeeeees!

Time to listen to some Amon Amarth and Tyr.

Hello Ruthven ! . Very good news  . Do you know if in this version the lag is removed ?

 

[Turanien]

The lag seems to affect people on a PC to PC basis, there are some here whom don't get it, some whom do. We'll just have to find out...

I didn't realise that you had already uploaded it Ruthven and I didn't know until I checked M&B Repository under latest uploads. So for those waiting around... here is the updated 0.3 version.

Edit: I'm still getting the stuttering lag, it seems to be about on a par with the previous version. 

 

[Ruthven]

Oh my, I'm very sorry to hear that.

 

[Turanien]

No worries Ruthven, it didn't stop me from playing your mod before and it won't do now.  I'm wondering if it is to do with my CPU or not, it's starting to show it's age now I suppose.

 

[Keldorn]

Just played the new release. At first the lag disappeared but, after the first battle, it is back  .

Some more feedback:

1-) In some tournaments the bots with throwing weapons and bows are using only the tws, after their 7 ammunition is over they just stay put looking at you and taking blows with their bow and arrows on theirs backs;

2-) Several parties with 0 members appear on the map ("none parties") and just sit there doing nothing:

Spoiler

3-) If you engage them you get a script error like this:

Spoiler

4-) For some reason neutral villager parties travel to my party and disappear;

5-) When I just started a new game some raiders (not sea raiders) attacked me and said something like "we were born on a saddle but you will die in one" with an image of mountain bandits on horses in the charge or retreat screen. I found this strange since there are no horses in the mod.

OBS: Like Turanien said the mod is worthwhile and this things don't stop me from playing it. The only thing that can really be a bother is the lag.

 

[Ruthven]

1- My bad.
2- Bad coding on my part, to be fixed in the next patch. (Will be released today or tomorrow)
3- Yeah
4- This has been there alwayyyys, but it doesn't affect anything, so i don't really care.
5- Yeah, I just haven't changed all the dialogues yet. A few mentions of horses and crossbows still exist, I'm afraid.

 

[winrehs007]

I'll be waiting for the changes Ruthven...
