Questions... Thread - Perisno mod for Mount & Blade: Warband

Okay, here goes. Ask anything about the mod, and stay on topic.

Sir I need to know, where in the game can I find an elephant?

The Elephant is a hard to get unit. This is intended for Lore reasons. Currently on the 0.3 release the following kingdoms have the Elephant in their marketplace (Look in Horse Merhant); Kingdom Of Tolranina, Volheere, And the Redwood Nation. This will be changed in the future. Also the Elephant costs around 15000.

Best regards

What inspired you to make Persino?

Byzantine

There are several things that inspired me. First and formost, every time someone asks me this, the first thing i will say is, POP. The lore, the gameplay, all the features, it is a very nice mod. I sat down one day and started doodling with the ideas that were forming in my head. This is where Perisno was born. It does not mean anything, well now it's the name of the mythical land where elves roam, dragons lurk in the stories told, and the vast lands reach far and near. I first worte it 'Perisnow' as i wanted to be based in a tundra type land hence the 'snow' part. I have no idea how i came up with the name, it just came
I had to do something with all the ideas that were coming, and a mod for warband seemed like a very good way to express them. It was a rocky start but as time goes on, things do often get better.

Why do the Drahara (Khergit) not have any Cavalry except Royal Guard?

Drahara does in fact have one other mounted unit, the Drahara Light rider, which can spawn with either a camel or a horse. This unit upgrades into the royal guard.
Furthermore coming in a future release there will be high tier troops only optainable in a factions town or castle. Most high tier units will be mounted. Drahara also is will also be the only faction with elephants at their disposale. Though these elephant riders will only be used by some of the faction's lords, thus you will have to capture them from a deafeted enemy's prisoners to optain them.
Also Perisno's faction are not based on Native's.

When I am playing on the mod and try to save the game it will say that it was unable to save. This doesn't happen in Native but it has happened in another mod i have played. Do you know how to fix this because I really want to keep playing this mod. Its so fun!

I have never heard of this problem. I think a new download might help, and keep your old save-game.

Just downloaded v 0.52, unpacked and inside is two folders:
"Resource" and "Resrouce "

I think that those two should be merged and then copied over 0.5 files.

BTW, I just started playing this mod, looks nice so far, good work.

EDIT:
I have found small bug. Open Reports -> View all items -> Armour , then sroll down to browse items.
The game freezes and if you start task manager - there is error message from the game that file can't be found:
"textures\ragged_outfit_high_specular.dds"

Is it safe to copy some other similar "*.dds" file instead missing one ?

OS Windows 7 ? Have you installed game in Program files directory ? It could be problem with user acess rights in windows.
You can try to start the game as administrator or you can install the game in other folder instead "Program files".
I don't know for sure if that will help you, but it is common problem with windows OS and other games/applications.

Just all of the resources into you Perisno resources and overwrite when it asks.

In the patch, you should see a folder called: 0.51 Patch (In case you missed it) open it and inside there is a texture folder, copy all of the textures into your texture folder in the Perisno Mod and that bug will go away.

Yes it is safe to copy any kind of .dds

Nope, I didn't missed 0.51 patch, have that installed prior 0.52 and also in the folder included with 0.52 there is file:
"itm_armor_ragged_outfit_high_specular.dds" while geme search for "ragged_outfit_high_specular.dds"
I have left first file and copied as "ragged_outfit_high_specular.dds" to workaround with this bug.

Speaking of bugs, maybe it will be good to open separate thread for reporting bugs.

EDIT:
After I solved above error another missing file comes up:
"ragged_outfit_high_normalmap.dds" can't be found. I have copied "itm_armor_ragged_outfit_high_specular.dds" for that too and
after thet All items -> Armour menu works fine.

EDIT2:
Drahara Sandstormer - guards in lords hall in town Krain - heads of meshes don't have textures. Their heads are in gray color.

EDIT3:
After the battle with Allies I could not quick save game. I looked into recent messages and there is error log line like this:

SRIPT ERROR ON OPCODE 2190: Invalid faction ID: -1; Line No:56

Edited by: kcs123

It is not advisable copying textures like you did
But all of the missing textures are in the patches, i am not sure what you did wrong. But if they are still not there let me know and i can send them to you.

You may have to start a new game to fix the script error.

I have downloaded 0.50 from this URL: Eu14.dl.indiedb.com
Then 0.51 from: Us8.dl.indiedb.com
And finally 0.52 from URL: Eu14.dl.indiedb.com

All links extracted from download history. I think that all of them are from moddb but I'm not sure, maybe one of them is from nexus I'm not sure. Although those links are expired I hope that you will be able to figure out where those were uploaded.

In Textures folders from both "0.51 Pach" and "Version 0.52 Patch51 Patch (In case you missed it)" I can found only 3 files:
casques.DDS
itm_armor_ragged_outfit_high_specular.dds
war_helm_texture.dds

And the game asking for different files, similar name but it is some other files:
"ragged_outfit_high_specular.dds"
"ragged_outfit_high_normalmap.dds"

I have double checked downloaded files, zips are not corrupted or anything, simply some files are missing.
Maybe files from other mirrors are not affected, I don't know. Try to redownload 0.51 patch and check for yourself, I don't know what is went wrong, too much work and too littles sleep I guess .

And I have also have the same SCRIPT ERROR couple of times. I have exited the game to desktop, restarted and reloaded the game, quck saving works after that, but as soon as I encountered the same faction and have battle with them, the game stops sending messages on screen, only in log.
And in the log is that SCRIPT ERROR.

I don't mind starting the new game. I didn't advanced to far in playtrough, it is not problem for me to start new game if that will fixes problem with script.
And please, if you can send me those files, I will be gratefull. I don't know if someone else have the same problem like me.

Thanks.

Okay. Here are your missing textures: Sendspace.com
I think that is all you shall need now just copy them in the texture folder.

Thanks Michadr, but I don't know if you understand me what I was said in above post:
The game search for file name without "itm_armor_ " prefix in filename when you browse inventory for all armour items.
The game freezes until you alt-tab to see desktop and read error message.
You do not get this bug until you scroll down to see all items on the bottom of inventory, so you probably not noticed this before.

That meens that is either some typo in script for browsing inventory, or missing files:
"ragged_outfit_high_specular.dds"
"ragged_outfit_high_normalmap.dds"

In the file you send me only new file is that "normalmap" that I have to copy once again in the name that game search for.
Maybe those files are irelevant for the game itself and there is not any problems with those when you play the game, only when browsing inventory.

Anyway, thanks for your effort, don't let some minor errors dicourage you from already good work.
I am watching closely this mod to see when 0.6 will comes out and if version number means only 60% of the mod is already done, I could already tell that 1.0 will be realy great mod.

EDIT:
I have found few new bugs.
Sidhethon companion. I have dialog option for him that we move or that stay for a while in tavern, but I can't hire him like other companions.
I don't know is he related to some quest I didn't get yet or his dialog is buged.

Merchant's ledger book. - in description about bonus sometimes it is +1 trainer, sometimes +1 surgery, and sometimes +1 to 0 denar(something like that)
It seems that description is from some other book instead for merchant.

Training ground near Galwe - when you aproach camp it starts tutorial and after I exit tutorial it exit game to main menu. I can't continue game after aproaching camp. I need to reload the game.

Great mod, but every battle game crashes despite the fact graphic is low.What can I do?

leo8999 wrote: Great mod, but every battle game crashes despite the fact graphic is low.What can I do?

I need more information.
- What options do you have selected/ not selected with the start of the game.
- What version of the mod are you playing?
- How big are your battles?

Hello Michadr,
I like your mod verry much, i have been playing the latest version for like 5 days now and i made my own kingdom.
But i ran into a problem: i can't seem to find out how to give fiefs to my vassals if they vote?
I married the redwood nation prince lithradill and started a new kingdom with her could that be the problem?
plz reply

Hello. Absolute awesome mod! Good job and hard work. I am having the same issue as leo8999. I have changed many graphical settings and updated video drivers. I have also tried changing the game mod options(formations etc) but that did not seem to make a difference. To answer your questions for leo8999 on my end
1) chose Noble father> court page> squire> wanderlust and started in the Redwood Nation area.
2) most recent version .6
3) I have battle size cut down to 100 which didnt cause any issues in vanilla or other mods so far. I will attempt to cut down the battle size and mess around with the options some more in hope of fixing this, I cant advance in the game now if I do battles.
4) my pc specs are as follows: Windows XP 32 bit SP3, AMD Athlon64 x2 6000+ 3.0 ghz, 4 gigs ram, Nvidia GeForce GTS450.

However I get the idea it may have something to do with the textures of items or the item property values as it seems to be a code glitch of some sort that causes the game to hang, the game doesnt completely freeze or crash it get stuck in limbo and slowly process's. I have to alt+tab the application to "sometimes" fix the issue but it doesnt always work, there is also usually a black screen when this happens or after the game fails to "fix" itself upon minimize and maximize.

I was also curious about the notes section of the mod relating to the locations of cities, it does not seem to be proper im not sure if that is a known issue. I also had a problem trying to find one of the villages for a quest(kill a murderer for a tavern keeper) and when I clicked the button "show on map" it moved my map over a huge mountain with a high peek surrounded by water and theres nothing there for miles, even after exploring the area.

What do you mean, if they vote?
If you have fiefs, just talk to one of your vassals, and offer to give them one. Another way to give vassals some fiefs is, going to your main (castle) or (town) and talking to the person whoever is in charge of those decisions and ask for giving vassals some fiefs.

Your pc seems to be allright.
I would suggest trying to run with textures on demand. That seems to work most of the time. But if it is already checked, uncheck it and try again. Also make sure to play on DX7
There is always the possibly that eiather re-installing Warband or re-downloading Perisno but the above suggestions should work.

About the issues you posted, i will pass them along to our team and we will try to fix.
