Warband Single Player Siege: bug fix?

[crossfirex]

Anyone familiar in the area of modding warband able to make a fix for the siege ladders? Troops are getting stuck on them way too much for my troops, and enemy troops. It's making sieges last way too long. Not only that, but with most castles in warband I can't jump the walls to go below and kill them either lol. (or get myself killed in the process of such a jump )

Uhm, can be done, i guess, but i don't know, might be a problem with the AI mesh on castles. But it would take a hell of a lot of work to make it happen.

Maybe that siege ladder mod for vanilla M&B works with Warband? As far as I know scenes have not changed much.

 

[Kazzan]

Yeah, it is said top work, but i'd rather not use it, it might screw up some castles, and the sarranid castles remain unchanged.

Well, yeah thats what I fear is incompatibility and glitches. That's why I asked if someone maybe knows how to make one for warband or something, or possibly fix the current ones. The big problem I think, is a certain part of the ladder, it's a part in the middle where the joint is (the ropes tie it together) I will see if I can get a screen shot to show.

I'm afraid it's an AI problem that can't be solved with AI mesh or other scene editing.
I tested many sieges in beta - and reported troops getting stuck - but it's almost as if it's worse than in 'classic' M&B.
The troops will attempt to reach the nearest enemy by moving to the edges of the ladder,
making only a small path in the middle for the rest of the troops to climb. The AI mesh is just fine.

Some sieges work fine and others are almost unplayable.

Yeah, it seems for me so far it has only happened at knuddar castle. So I decided not to take a screenshot, as most likely (I hope) it will be fixed later.

 

[Elenmmare]

On principle I'd wait for the people you paid to fix it.

 

[worldeater]

yeah i wonder about this to, in sieges my alied ai just get stuck on one spot on the ladder and while im trying to fight my way up to the castle one of them somehow pushes me off the ladder and i have to wait for most of the siege on the ground.

edit: would be great if someone made that multiple ladder mod compatiable with warband. im sure it would work for most castles but there are bound to be glitches and i already thought the sarrind castles weren't gonna change

These forums move so fast yall must have missed my post. The Lord and realms Siege Pack from M&B works in Warband though some people have reported odd ladders showing up in some new maps. For me it fixed my issues with it though

Still doesnt fix the AI. Defenders will try to sally out whenever they can. And they wont obey any order you give them to hold or stand.

I got the bug this morning at Knuddar.

But I pulled my troops back, ordered them to hold this position, and when they were all off the ladder, I ordered them to charge again.  This fixed the problem.

Then it happened again a few minutes later.

So I did the same thing, and it fixed itself again.

Not an elegent solution, but it gets the job done.

I think they just need to make the castle have a small bit wider hole for the ladder at castle like knuddar, and then put in a wider ladder, and fix the AI to go for who ever is in front of them instead of who is closest lol. And I will check out the ladder fix you suggested, thanks VonLowe!
