Mount and Blade: Warband is the first sequel for the action role-playing video game Mount and Blade. First announced in January 2009, the game was developed by TaleWorlds and was published by Paradox Interactive on March 30, 2010. Warband expands on the original game by introducing a sixth faction, increasing the political options, allowing players to start their own faction, and incorporating multiplayer modes. Reveiws of the game were generally favourable, with the addition of multiplayer the most highly praised element.

Description

Do you hate having prisoners because of the clicking and too many mouse movement? Do you hate moving troops because of the clicking and too many mouse movement? I do, and I'm pissed off. This autohotkey helps with your problem, simply point and press a key to move or disband troops in the party management screen. No moving back and forth between goddamn buttons.

It works on all screen resolution on my computer. And because I set the hotkeys to Insert, Home, et cetera, its probably compatible with all mods.

Fabulous idea but I can't get it to work.

I run the Give script and it's running, but nothing happens when I press any of the keys with a troop selected.

This is for PoP 3.95 if that matters. I know they have their own hotkeys, none of which do this particular function. Perhaps a conflict?

Edit:

Nvm. It was either windows being lame or a conflict with Afterburner. Worked after a restart and without Afterburner.

Many thanks for this amazing tool!

Okay, this tool is fantastic! It makes life soooooo much easier.

I was seriously starting to lament having to constantly mouse back and forth while grooming my militia patrols- something I have to do basically everyday to flush peasant troops out to keep their speed up.

Hey, I know it's not much, but I currently have $12.47 in my steam wallet, it's all yours if you want it. Let me know if you want me to gift you something or give you those steam point things.

Thanks again!

Edit:
I think I know why it failed to work initially. For some reason it only works when opening party_assign. Party_give, while active on the desktop does not work in-game for me.

lol glad it worked out for you, what you said is pretty much relatable to what I felt too xd

And thanks for the very generous offer, but you can keep it. I think I haven't bought any game from steam for years. Game on mate!

Ahh no probs. I'm very surprised how few people have picked up on this amazing tool. Their loss I would say. This was a game-changer for me. If only I had found it sooner lol.

I used to have to click 500 times every time I wanted to extract an army out of garrison, so as not to disturb the hierarchy and similarly take prisoners by the thousands, very, very slowly.

This is tonnes better than PoP's own hotkeys. I never found much use for those- they are cumbersome at best and still rely on back and forth mousing and clicking the dreaded Give/Take button.

Shame I can't rate this mod. It needs more exposure for sure. Thanks again man!

PS. Unless there is something wrong on my end, perhaps the stipulation in the description of running either application should be edited. On my end it only works when Party_assign is opened. I was a bit confused by that initially.

For anyone having issues getting this to run, make sure you have it set to run as administrator.

Just recently come back to the game. Nothing changed, installed or uninstalled yet this hotkey script refused to work. It worked fine last time I played. I set it to admin and it's now working.

Didn't change anything for the game or the program since last I played so I am not sure why this problem manifested.
