BKB Super Mod

[Graphic]

Game crash.

As the Novgorods in Early I invaded Sweden via sea from Novgorod. I attacked with 3 Viking landsmen and a Boyar against 2 vanilla spearmen and a Viking carl. Got the pre battle screen, hit OK, screen went blank and stayed blank. Had to ctrl+alt+delete MTW.

Sounds odd I'll look into it though.

Hi again,

Dear BKB Sir,

Do you know when the quick battle fix I mentioned to you will be made available?

Also, Do you think that CA will remake Shogun TW & MI along W/ Medieval TW and VI?

I ask you because of your status. I appreciate everything, including most of all the mod you made.

Thank you sir.

Small problem - 2.1 patch link is broken.

Download isn't possible.

This makes me...sad.....

[The Blind King of Bohemia]

Try again mate, its working now. I think its a bit problematic but it does work most of the time.

[Snjorri_Bevlarson]

Hey the 3d downloads link is dead to the v2.0 download. Is 3d dowloads having troubles or something?

[The Blind King of Bohemia]

Maybe, your best bets trying the other link mate.

[Snjorri_Bevlarson]

The other link isnt working either. Either that or Murphy's law has me by my arse.

[The Blind King of Bohemia]

Its working for me at the minute mate. Keep trying that's the only thing I can suggest.

[Belisarivs]

For me it doesn't work, too.

First off let me just say that the mod is great.

Now here's the thing: Why does the mod change what sprites are used by stock units? For instance, why is the sprite used by the Highland Clansman now "Custom5"?

I ask because doing it this way makes the original game unplayable.

Hello,

First let me say this is a fantastic mod, and I really enjoyed playing it when I had it installed a while ago. (It was erased when I was forced to format my HD)

I wanna install this mod again but unfortunately have forgotten the correct installation procedures.

Here's what I remember:

Install MTW
Install MTW Patch 1.1
Install VI
Install VI Patch 2.01
Install BKB Super Mod 2.0
Install BKB Super Mod Patch 2.1

Is the above order correct?

Thank you!!

Nick

[Asterion]

it seems correct to me, though i'm not sure if MTW 1.1 patch is necessary as it might be incorporated to VI (it won't do any harm to install it, anyway)

[Ja'chyra]

I can't get the version 2.1 Patch file to download, it keeps coming up as can't find server, any suggestions?

[Matty]

same with me the last few days. No doubt it'll be up again soon..... patience, patience

Ah, and there you go. Right, now to get to it

[The Blind King of Bohemia]

Sorry about the delay in posting guys.

I ask because doing it this way makes the original game unplayable.

Duplicating certain folders to become 'Custom' folders was the only way round a huge problem that involved many units crashing the game for the new factions. This doesn't necessarily make the original game unplayable but I did something else to add more units which does - going over the original BIF folders. Sorry about this mate but I felt it was best for the mod.

Not sure if you need the 1.1 patch (I believe VI already has it) but that is correct yes.

Ja'chyra and Matty, the patch seems to be playing up lately, I've been meaning to ask Tosa so I'll get onto him right now about it.

[Matty]

Hope this is the right place to post questions and also hope its not a repeat - I have some problems with some of the characters not viewing properly - kerns and peasants and a few others. Also some dead do not remain and I lose the pleasure of seeing the devastation wrought by my men. Actually, its usually my men whose bodies do not remain.

None of this takes much away from the overall experience, but if its tweakable it would be super. Could it be a video card problem?

[The Blind King of Bohemia]

What period are you playing Matty? The problem sounds like the Deadpage cords. If you go into your medieval folder, then textures, then men, scroll down to the bottom and you will the deadpagecords. Say if you see a deadpagecords, high dead pagecords and late dead pagecords that means the DPC are set to the early period. To set it for say high, you would erase the word high and then put early by the previous set cords. You have to do this if you want the deadpage cords for other periods. I know its a weird process but its the only way i'm afraid.

[Gtafanboy]

What if I accidently installed it in the Medieval folder first then installed it to the right spot, will it work right? And what are deadpagecoords or whatever they are called?

[axel]

hi all cane somme one please tel me where you cane download this mod and where cane i get somme info about this mod like from witch year this mod is and wot factions are in it ?????
and how do you install this mod dose it self extract or do i have to put it im MTW my self??????

[axel]

and are the somme screen shots

[The Blind King of Bohemia]

Check out the first page mate for links, info and instructions. As for pics, I could put some up, what do you want to see? The map, faction select screen, units?

And GTAFanBoy, I think it would still work ok mate. As for Deadpage Coords, I'm thinking of putting up a picture guide but lets make sure you get it working first.

[Gtafanboy]

Ok it works. Thanks for the answer. One of my favorite things in this mod would have to be the Champion Swordsman. Its fun to use him fully upgraded against whole crusades(after Excommunication of course). Why did you decide to put him in anyway?(not saying its bad)

[The Blind King of Bohemia]

I liked the idea of the one man unit. At Stamford Bridge there was a lone Beserker who held the bridge and killed more than half a dozen enemy before being overwhelmed and there have been other battles in history with individuals proving themselves above others so i thought it would be a fun unit to have in the mod. The unit isn't too uber and are nothing like those Kensai lunatics from Shogun, now those buggers were real hard to kill

[Gtafanboy]

Did one person really hold of most of that army in real life? One more problem I have. When the English Invaded me when I was the Welsh and they had to cross the bridge, they just stood there for 70 minuites. Any Idea what happened?

[The Blind King of Bohemia]

Sometimes that happens mate, i use to see it in vanilla, in VI, in my mod and others i've tried. Sometimes the AI just doesn't budge

[axel]

hi thx mate for reply i would like to see screenshots from factions and new units and campain map if its possible that would be verry nice

[The Blind King of Bohemia]

I'll put some pics up for you shortly mate

[axel]

ok thx mate ill be waithing
and may i ask ? do you now how to put two mods so i cane play XL and BKB ? maybe i did have somme reactions on my post but i am not that good on computers

[The Blind King of Bohemia]

The best thing would be to create another directory in your 'Total War' folder, say, 'BKB mod' and then install Medieval and Viking into that, along with the mod of course.
