Hello users

We have released another patch for Warband that fixes a number of issues and resolves some small quirks with the latest 1.157 patch.

You can download it right now here or wait for it to be available on our Website and Steam in a few hours.

Here are the installers for the 1158 Warband patch:

http://download2.taleworlds.com/mb_warband_dedicated_1158.zip

http://download2.taleworlds.com/mb_warband_module_system_1158.zip

-Fixed issue with multiplayer troop stat assignment. Values are now shown correctly in the module system with a workaround to prevent auto-assignment, at the same "real" values as 1157. With the exception that Vaegir and Sarranid Archers now have a riding skill of 1 instead of 2 and that Nord Huscarls have 0 Power Draw instead of 1.
-Resolved crashing when prop_instance_play_sound is used server side but not synced client side.
-Resolved issue where all spawned items play only blunt sounds in multiplayer.
-Fixed minor issue with Lend Companion quest.
-Fixed slow movement on certain scene props occurring after a fix in 1157.

And the (non-trivial) code changes:
- module_dialogs.py: several fixes for the Offer Gift quest.
- module_menus.py: 2x disabled auto-rescue of prisoners by allied lords (why?)
- module_items.py and module_troops.py: a few balancing tweaks only MP people care about
- module_scripts.py: MP tweaks and two bugfixes
- module_scene_props.py: several props are not sokf_type_ladder anymore
- header_operations.py: one new operation, agent_set_ranged_damage_modifier

EDIT - Official release update:
- module_dialogs.py: fix for defecting lords rejected by the player
- module_menus.py: Lend Companion/Surgeon quest fixes
- module_scripts.py: Lend Companion/Surgeon quest fixes, daughters have mothers now

module.ini new entries:
horses_rear_with_attack = 1
restrict_attacks_more_in_multiplayer = 0

other change log found so far:
- global variables data now have same length as local variables.
- ti_on_item_picked_up and ti_on_item_dropped are now available at single player too.

Underwhelming for such a long wait and standard Native bugs with prisoner rescue and faction defeats apparently remain.
I can't see this one in the code, could be bogus:

-Rebalanced in-game economy to encourage a range of propserity among towns (previously most towns became rich or very rich).

Awesome! Hopefully the items make sense now. Like two-handed swords should be more expensive.

Thank goodness the visual errors has been fixed too!

 

[The Bowman]

So there is no way we can get the patch now?

 

[cmpxchg8b]

I love the new operations.

[Mad Vader]

That only means more scope for WSE use.

 

[Computica]

That only means more scope for WSE use.

Wouldn't this patch break WSE or no?

 

[grailknighthero]

-Increased maximum number of different party member and prisoner stacks from 32 to 256.

This looks like a nice fix.  I assume if you go over 32 party member stacks it won't wipe out the previous 32?

 

[dunde]

One operation that we can simulate with a slot and ti_on_agent_hit. I did hope for surprising operations.

That's actually a fix for party_force_add_members which had that limit. You could have more than 32 troop types before in a party.

The operation isn't listed in header operations....?  The header operation files are exactly the same.  I'm going through the module system with win merge right now...

You need a WinMerge skill upgrade.

 

[Somebody]

Yeah, the header modification dates are all the same, guess we'll need to dig through it yourself
How does agent_set_ranged_damage_modifier stack with agent_set_damage_modifier? header_operations also needs more stuff in the lhs_operations list.

Lamellar gauntlets got buffed to 6 BA, weight increased for no reason
Leather Steppe Caps a&b buffed to 15/16 HA, was 12/14 - normal Steppe Cap got nerfed to 14 from 16

[grailknighthero]

Lol MadVader, I need a sight upgrade.  The thin yellow line merged with the overwhelming white and I didn't see it

 

[Swyter]

I love the new operations.

Needs more begging!

Please, tell us what the new but hidden stuff is and toss some
opcode definitions on the table like the last time.

 

[dunde]

My presentation crash to desktop with 1.157. It's Ok with 1.153 before, and it's ok when I try with WSE in compability mode by running old EXE.

 

[DanyEle]

So there is no way we can get the patch now?

If you compile the Module System, you'll be able to try it already!

 

[dunde]

No. You need to download http://download2.taleworlds.com/mb_warband_upgrade_1100_to_1157.exe

 

[Mad Vader]

Or wait a week or so in case there is a 1.158.

 

[cmpxchg8b]

Or wait a week or soanywhere from a week to several months in case there is a 1.158.

 

[Mad Vader]

Unfortunately you may be right about that, Lust may be reluctant to leave MP alone. You may need to talk to him and extract a written promise not to tinker with Warband anymore. I'm sure TW doesn't want more patches and FSE may be done as well.

 

[Lumos]

Talking about new operations, I know there are these agent_set_*_modifier ones, but are there any agent_get_*_modifier operations? I don't think they exist, and it seems a bit of a waste to have to use agent slots for values which are certainly possible to read if you can set them. So, is there a chance of any of these existing in this new patch or the (possible) next one? With hidden values, perhaps, undefined in header_operations?

And Vaegir Archers in MP are getting nerfed? What am I supposed to play now, infantry? *sigh* Perhaps people won't kill me if I surrender peacefully.

 

[dion1195]

Nerf.... Vaegirs? ... archers...? NOOOO
Nerf those Crosbows!, bows are fine as they are!
