Rally support for MTW total conversions

**JR-** · 01-05-2005, 13:25

given the mediocre reception of RTW there seems a renewed interest from modders in their respective MTW projects, i say HOORAY. i want to see all the great MTW mods continue development to the point where they are polished and stable products.

> NTW is now sorted with v5.05
> HTW seems completed with v3.1+economy patch

> BKB is now done, but we'll see if a mini-patch is necessary based on user feedback
> MTW-XL is merely awaiting a mini-patch before completion
> Fall of Rome needs only a mini-patch

> STW is being revisited with a final version in mind presumably
> Pike and Musket is on its way to a final version
> Medmod4.0 is apparently on its way
> METW is coming along nicely (when do i get a campaign?)

> Reconquista will get a little tidying up if we show enough interest........
> Fury of the Northmen exists in an information vacuum.
> Eastern Promise appears stalled atm sadly..............
> WoT-TW has sadly abandonned MTW for RTW. :(

i'm sure there are many other worthy total conversions that would also benefit from a little final tweakage to knock off any rough edges.

MTW in its various guises could live forever!

I was thinking of downloading XL or medmod, haven't tried any mod yet, but these seem the best to my liking. Bot both aren't completed? I understood that XL was as good as finished? What remains a problem then? Does anyone know?

MTW-XL is more or less complete, but as ever with software, you never find all the bugs until the masses have got their grubby paws on it.

thus you have modders releasing micro-patches for major releases, eg:

NTW v5 > v5.05
Helenic v3.1 > v3.1+economy patch
MTW-XL v2.0 > v2.01 (?)
Fall of Rome v3.0 > v3.1

etc

they can be considered 'finished' when the major release debuts and the final tweaks applied.

hope this helps :)

Certainly, very kind! Think I'll have a go on the XL as soon as I get my hands on a USB memory stick large enough for the small version..

**JR-** · 01-06-2005, 17:25

surely people here must have a higher regard for the various modder's labours than appears to be the case?

at a time when MTW mods could fade from active development purely by the existance of RTW it seems appropriate that those who still want to see MTW mods reach perfection should say so................

There are only a few minor bugs, but nothing serious. The only bugs there have been found is a few units units that doesn't get the valor bonus from master level buildings and the province of Nicaea not having access to the black sea.
In the patch I will do some minor tweeking, replace some graphics with better once and write a better info file (this will take a lot of time, it will be huge).

looking forward to it.

I certainly plan on trying out a few of the mods, but I haven't had the game long. In fact, I've just "finished" playing all the factions in early (not necessarilly a complete game) and have just begun trying them out in high. Still have to go through Late, then it'll be mod time.

Having done similar work for other games, I can appreciate the time and effort involved in developing these mods. Keep it up, y'all!
