Vikingr No Longer Enjoyable

[duckmoose]

Vikingr was my preferred mod as long as there were servers to play in.  Now there are not, except for Einherjar at the right time.  My sounds has been crackly and distorted in Vikingr for some time now.  I have tolerated this weird bug because the mod is so good.  Now I have updated from .80 to .81 to .83 and the game stutters every time I join a server (mind you, there is only one server to join, so I have not technically ruled out that it is the server... but this does not seem to be connection stuttering and my ping is only around 100-120).  The stuttering is constant, kind of like from a CPU that's being overloaded with too many AI and ruins the playability of the game in every round.  None of my other games/mods do this -- it is not a system requirements issue.

Does anyone know what it could be?

I am sorry to hear of your problems. I have a couple of points to make that may help.

1) Await for proper translation of the mod to the latest Warband version. We are currently running Vikingr on a 1.134 module build.

2) Await for the next patch whereby we will include an alternative form of sound files. Warband has major problems with .ogg format for some reason. If you want a more detailed answer on this issue, check this post. It may be this that is entirely the cause of your stutter and problems.

Aha! This answers a question I had a long time ago not Vikingr-related! Thank you Eirikr! (I tried to make my own .ogg files once and Warband had some difficulties with it.)

Might be the wrong Thread but, do you Guys already know when you are going to "translate" Vikingr to 1.143 ? Only Mod i have right now

Set the ol' script-wizard upon the task a few days back. It's quite a large effort, as you may imagine. We'll definitely get it out by the end of next week.

In the mean time you could all just download 1.134, even if you have the Steam version your cd key should work.

Is there ANYTHING to look forward to in 1.143 other than the chamber-damages-your-shield-bug fix? Oh right you'll likely tell me to go read the changelog.

DAMN YOU!

 

[Leifr Eiríksson]

Read the changelog foo'!

Besides; what's to see we won't introduce new Vikingr-related thangs with a module system update?

 

[Slytacular]

Good save, Vrael. Lol.

Quick topic change.

for now, vikingr should run fine 1.143 too, from my own experience and from what I heard from others.

also see this post - Davee already provided wav files for .81.
But I am not sure what changed in regard to sound in .83, so be cautious if you apply this now. Maybe someone of the team can clarify.

Given the extra attention the mod gets with Azroohs awsome event and the announcment on top of the TW forums, it might be a good idea to compile a new full installer.
And maybe could release it with the .wav files instead of the .ogg files... its only about 70mb more, I doubt that is a problem for anyone. It could save a lot of frustration. Not everyone comes to the forums asking for advice, instead of saying "skrew that" and deleting the mod.

Correctamundo chap!

I'll poke Davee later on about progress with porting to the latest version. If we do this, we may as well ask him to squash some bugs in the process, as well as releasing a full version (.84)

I had alot of random ctd's until last night when I downloaded davee's sound patch.

And I suffered from weird blue triangles flickering over my screen during the ship raid map yesterday night...and as I wasn't drunk I guess these geometric figures were supposed to be graphical errors...hmmm...

I beleive that is a fault in warband itself I get it on alot of mods. including native.
