Comments - ReadyToRetreat

I'm having an issue where the UI is extremely large and goes off-screen. In particular the map is almost completely out of view. I downloaded the mod again, but it persists. What did I do wrong?

P.S. Also i'm getting a slew of AI errors on the Cliffs Of Ontheon map, even while using only Kingdom Of Hyrule

I thank you for all the time and effort you put in Openra. It's clear a lot of hard work has gone into it and I greatly appreciate you for it.

Ah, ok. Thanks for the answer. Good luck with the mod then!

Sorry, but I have some problems. I'm on mac and i'm attempting to play the mod, but the openra cd source on GitHub doesn't work since it doesn't compile properly due to this error: "Updating GeoIP country database from MaxMind. make: *** [geoip-dependencies] Error 6". I tried the jar launcher on discord that should work on anything but when I try to update I get a massive error connected to Openra.Utility.exe.

I'd appreciate any help with the matter.

Ah damn, that's a real shame. Not sure which I'll use then, but the Balchoth Clan is more unique so I'm leaning towards it. Thanks for your hard work!

This seems very cool but after I install it I can't play with the Balchoth clan. What should I do to play them both? Or can I only use one at the time?

If you need anyone to test any possible mac version, I'd be willing to help.

I feel like an idiot for asking, but how do I spawn infantry? The headquarters only spawn vehicles, at least for the imperial guard. I read about a Spawner but it doesn't appear anywhere...

Ah, I see. Very sorry for disturbing you. Yeah, I guess I should have checked the changelog. Thank you both for the information and have a nice day.

There's a weird bug. When I go to the old man in the hidden mines with a runed weapon, in this case, a 2-handed sword, a qualis gem and wine (both varieties you can find in the cheat menu to make sure I wasn't doing something wrong) he just keeps repeating the same dialogue about needing a rune weapon, a qualis gem and more wine. I know I can just take the sword from the cheat menu and remove the items later but is there any way to fix this?

Ah, I see, perfectly understandable. Again, sorry for being annoying and thank you for your patience.

Is there any way to hire Atian pikemen? I'm currently a vassal of the West Trade Company but for infantry I need to rely on non-faction troops, which is disappointing since they look pretty damn badass. Also, maybe I'm an idiot but I didn't find any information about the two cults, Doomcall and Sekmesh. I just know they're bad, large and in charge, so I'd like some more information if possible. Lastly which update will give us the ability to close the helmets in 3rd person? Sorry if I'm being annoying. Great mod and I'm sure it will only get better, custom troops for your own kingdom will be the cherry on top of the cake. Keep on going strong!

Don't worry dude! I still greatly appreciate the effort and can enjoy the older version of the mod just fine. As you said, you started this years ago on a what was supposed to be a Windows-only game, of course, you didn't prepare for a decently large mac community. I just hope you keep making the mod better for those who can enjoy it, at least I can watch TheReformist's gameplay of it. The only thing I could possibly ask for is a "Lite" version of the mod without magic and the more complicated features reliant on WSE so that everybody can enjoy it, though I'm not sure on how difficult that would be and as such I only request you consider it. May you gain many slaves for your toil and your work inspire terror in all that gaze upon it! The Bullfather has given you his eternal blessing!

It is regrettably a path I did not choose​ my friend. The Great Bullfather has punished me so!

Wouldn't know about that since I'm on a Mac and I can't even use WSE. Anyway, good luck!

There's a comment a few pages back that says you also need to copy the contents of WSE into the main Warband folder before you start up the game. Try that, or better yet, find that comment, as it's right below a very detailed installation guide.

It's a real shame that you can't properly play the mod on mac. Without WSE magic is buggy at best or useless at worst, not to mention that even normal battles are a Slaanesh worthy orgy of errors. I really hope either you guys or someone else finds a workaround for this. I'd ask if it could be possible to make a patch that makes magic similar to that of Phantasy Calradia and as such more workable, but I know that would require an insane amount of effort and you guys deserve a rest. Keep going strong in the name of Hashut!

A shame, but the mod is still good. If we're talking about long-term plans could you consider to add new factions, be they minor or large? I know the purpose of this mod is to revamp native without changing its basic theme, but I always felt that the variety of people and campaign parties was quite lacking in native. Wouldn't even need to invent things, you could just use the lore of the game. Just a thought! Have a nice day

Does this mod have custom troops for your own kingdom? If not, I'd consider adding it, it'd be the cherry on top of the cake!

Might I possibly receive an answer, or is my request a lost cause?

Well, that's somewhat annoying but in the meantime, I'll get used to it. Thanks for answering and good luck with the mod.

Hello, I have a problem. I am a mac player, as such sometimes there may be slight incompatibilities when playing mods, but usually, it's just related to some messed up textures. Regrettably, though, I seem to be completely incapable of playing this mod, as it crashes on startup. While I understand you have no responsibilities towards problems caused by different operating systems, it is quite odd, as this mod seems to be based mostly on "16th century" and I can play it just fine. Not to mention that I'm pretty sure I've used all your mod's features between the many mods I play. The only one I've never been able to play is the infection one, about a modern zombie apocalypse. As such, I was wondering if you've imported or used anything in particular from that mod?

Cheers, I hope you keep doing a good job.

P.S. If I could be informed where to find a 2016 beta version of this mod to test, it would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry, I know this is probably a stupid question, but is there any way to keep your helmet's visor closed in third person? Btw, great mod, really like it. Add freelancer and it will be perfect

Very well then. I will try. Thank you for your time and for your information.

Yes, I have done all these steps. But do I really have to use the executable.bat to start the mod? I really can't, since I'm on a mac. And I'm​ aware not all mods are compatible with mac but this one has worked rather splendidly till now and looking at the features I don't see anything that could bring problems to mac, like what could happen with hyrule total war or elder scrolls.

While the custom battles work perfectly, it crashes whenever I try to go into the campaign, even if I followed all the instructions. Since in the demo I could technically start the campaign, may I know exactly what has been added to it, apart from of course the new units of the beta, so as to have a better idea of what could be causing the crash? Thank you.

Tzeentch is pleased, very pleased indeed.

Thanks a lot. May you rule all of Westeros!

Is there a way to get in contact with TomSrx? I would like to see if he could make BOTET mac compatible or if he could at least give some tips on mac mod compatibility. By the way, great mod, particularly love the dragons.

Hey so I downloaded the mod and it works fine, but a lot of scene objects and the flags are all completely white. Do you have any idea why that may be? I ask because I used to play the first version of this mod and it worked fine.
