Hi, first of all thanks for your hard work, the mod is awesome!!, have been playing it for a long time!,
Im having an issue when trying to run the mod with the last steam version. Whenever I load a map in the editor the smoke looks kinda weird, and ocuppies all of the screen. It's unplayable sadly.
The same effect triggers when soldiers shoot their guns.
I uploaded a screen so it's clearer:

Postimg.org

Is there anyway to solve this?, Thanks!

Grats ;)

Just a simple question.. Will we have the Editor available for your game?, same as MoW? :D

"ALL "Unit sniped" message removed (experimental)"

O.o, why? :(

Darth, thanks so much for all you have done for the Total War series players..

The vanilla games can not compete against your work, seriously, your mods were the only reason I kept playing Total War games.

Thanks for this "Last" update, and thanks for all the work you have put into this.

--
I, as everyone here, repect your choice, but keep in mind that you will be missed, you, and your work :(

I wish you the best for your future projects, whatever they will be.

Farewell Darth, your name will live forever in the true Total War players. :')

Uahoo :)

Good??

It looks AWESOME!! Keep on the good work man ;)

What do you mean?? Darth will not mod Rome II??? :(

Moddb should totally have a Database of important modders as you are Darth.. There's no need to wait for them to validate the download :(

Aye, fight and you may die. Run, and you'll live... at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin' to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take... OUR FREEDOM!

..

This are times of change, we will not allow huge corporations to stand over us!! We are all with you guys! Stay strong.

Great .. :D
Ill try to figure out the way :D.

I will come back later with the results :P hahaha.

Thanks man ;)

LoL, Thanks, there is hope :D.

I dont wanna abuse of your help here :P, but as the great modders you and your team are, can you recommend me any special tools?, cause I dont think that I will be able to do so just modifying the .txts xD

Thanks again :D

Hello there ;)

First of all I want to say thank you, for all the effort in making this awesome mod.. Is.. incredible, amazing, xD, words can not describe this mod :P hahahaha. True.

Probably the best mod out there for MoW. :D

..

But, if you dont mind, I wanted to ask you something, not strictly related with this mod.

I want something actually weird,xD, and dont know if thats even possible, I tried, but so far with no success at all..

..

What I want is to be able to recruit every, (And I mean, EVERY), troop from each faction, with just one..

If it wasnt clear enough.. I want to be able to recruit German Units, Russian Troops, Japanese troops, US Troops, using for example commonwealth..

Is not necessary that to be available with every nation, I mean, if I can just make one nation with all the troops and the others with none will be great too, (I say this cause thats how I made this with Soldiers Heroes of World War II)

I couldnt manage to do the same yet with Men of War..

Im still trying..

And Im sure there is a way.. There is right? :P

Can you recommend maybe some modding tools to make that?

Any help would be really appreciated ;)

Thanks, and thank you again for this mod :D

Hi, first I want to say that this is a great mod... Seriously, it is, maybe the best one out there, along with Brytenwalda, and Europe 1200.. (A combination between one of them and Floris would be superb xD)..

10/10, of course..

But I want to comment something, and I dont know if Im the only one having this issues:

I never had any problems with this mod, no crashes, no CTDs, no missing textures.. Never, since the last update..

With 2.53 versions, I have some textures missing, and crashes when I want to start a tournament.. D:

Never had any complains, and I wont have any now either.. Just wanted to add a little information of what Is going on, at least for me with this new update..

If I can be of any help, just tell me ;). I know you'll be fixing it soon.

Keep on the good work man :D

Well, it seems that you have to Try the newest versions ;)..

Also Modifications for other Total War Games, like Napoleon, and Shogun 2. Masterworks.

;)

Although I have to agree with you, Hard difficulty is probably the best one, and the most enjoyable of all.

Not at all GriffinZ, if you say that its because you never played any DM modifications for Total War games. ;)

..
@DARTH

Ok, thanks ;), I really liked the fact that melee fights are more chaotic in some way.. There is no more a defined line separating the 2 armies.. Its a mess of soldiers of both factions fighting everywhere..

Really nice..

..

I also noticed in one moment of the video that the cavalry shot their pistols all of them at the same time, although they werent riding together.. DK if this is some kind of bug, or glitch, or just a matter of luck..

Awesome!! Cant wait for the release!!

Just a question, which difficulty is this being played??

Cause the tactics the AI is using are incredible.

;) Looking forward the reply and release date :P

@-*******-

;)
Your PC specs are great, thats not the problem at all..

And the options you were using are pretty much the same that I do..

mmh, ok, If you can, keep on playing the new game, and tell us how it works ;)

..
And... You mentioned that you made a clean reinstall of the game and mod..

The game should be ok, but when you reinstalled DM did you just run the installer again?, or you redownloaded the installer?

If the download had an error, reinstalling the mod using the same corrupted file wont fix anything..

;)

@DARTH_VADER

Of course is better than vanilla Diplomacy, its waaaay better. Really it is, now the offers they send, and/or accept are more logical in many ways.

Just found kinda funny what happened with the Takeda xD; But I can say that in 60 turns thats the only issue I had with Diplomacy, everything else worked in an amazing way.

Maybe there is a cause, now that Im thinking again about it..

Does having agents on the factions provinces creates tension with them?

Cause I remember having 2 Metsukes on Takeda territory, and they Killed one of them, and imprisioned the other.

Does it have something to do with it?

Mmmh, thats actually weird..

That happens while playing with any faction? Or just with one?
..

You said that does not happen when you are not using DM; can you tell us what options are you using in DM? Which ones are activated, which ones arent?

Maybe that would be of help.

..
Never had any problem using these:

I will add here all of the options Im using, although most of them may not have nothing to do with the problem, but just to be sure, try this:

- Projectile Trails On
- Horo Off
- JFC Units Cards On
- Oda-Tokugawa Allies Off
--GRAPHIC & SOUNDS---
- Darth Effects On
- Clan Retexture On
- Atmospheric Sounds On
- BSM Shogun Off
- Superghostboy Mod On
- Sashimono Removal Off
- Toon Lite Graphics On
- Furinkazan Off
- Unit Variety Mod Off
--BOOST OPTIONS--
- Projectiles Boost off
- Oda Boost off
- Ashikaga Boost On
- Bayonet Boost On
- Income Boost On
- Deployment Boost on

---

Try using this options, and tell us if its working.. Thats the way It worked with no problem for me..

Also before you make the changes click on "Default 1.5x", or "Defaul 1x". Just to set everything to default..

And then make the changes I wrote above..

..

Tell us if its working now.

And also.. What are you PC Specs?

;)

Great ;) Thanks, I guess I will be using Superghost's for a while now.. Im really loving this new blood textures. ;)

..
And I played a lot of battles now, with this new patch, and they are amazing..

The AI makes great use of Cavalry, try to flank my troops, every battle is a new and big challenge.

The AI also takes advantage of ground zones, like Hills and forests.

I hated when battles ended with 4000 casualties for them, and 200 for me :P, it was unrealistic.

Now every battle is a slain for both sides, and with the actual chance to loose if you dont act fast and wisely.
..

And now Im almost done with the campaing, I became shogun, and relations with other clans are now solid, and without the risk of them betraying me, (Finally :P).

..
But dont know if it was an issue or what, but before I became Shogun, I had an alliance with the Takeda, for 30 turns or more, I gave them Gold almost every turn, and suddenly they break the alliance. (No reason at all), I send the request to be my Allies again and they accept, and they even gave me 5000 gold, (WTF), but the most amusing part, is that when I pass that turn they broke the alliance again.. Just to accept it again (For the third time), and giving me another 5000gold.

Finally I arranged a marriage, and then I conquered Kyoto, and now they seem to be happy with the alliance, and they didnt break it again so far.

What do you think it could be the problem?

Well Darth, I did as you said.. And now the blood effects are working correctly.. Blood pouring out from soldiers, and sometimes staining the screen.. And I saw decapitations too.. (Way too many decapitations=?)

But yap, at least for me Darth Effects, were interfering with Blood DLC if it was activated while using Superghost Boy mod..

But I also tried using just Darth Effects, without Superghost's. And the blood worked too.

So its clearly a problem when using both of them at the same time (Sorry, that sounded like Cpt. Obvious quote :P)

..

Its not really a big problem, due to the low importance of the DLC, I know is a total success to merge this two mods without causing CTDs and other stuff like that.. Is like a minor bug.

Thanks for your concern Darth ;) And I hope that you can solve it in the future ;)..

BTW, whats the main difference between Darth Effects, Superghost's, and BSM? Just curious :P

Im glad that I can be of help at least this way xD..
And.. Mmmh, didnt looked for them, I ussually use the camera from high position, but today I'll look for the new animations ;)

Will try that as soon as I can, thanks for the reply ;)

I noted that I dont have any "blood.pack", file in my Shogun 2\Data Folder..

Could that be the problem?

oh, BTW; I wanted to ask you something, dk if I should post it here, but I looked on the web, and didnt find anything yet.

I bought the Blood pack, and Im using SuperghostBoy effects, but I dont see blood effects like the ones on the screenshots posted here..

Just a few stains in the ground, and in the armor, nothing else.. Know anything about this issue?

Thanks ;)

Well Darth, as I promised before Im back to tell my experience with the new patch. ;)

Ive been playing with Hojo clan since patch 4.1 +++, and I continued with the same saved game.. at turn 39 or so..

Well, the problem I told you before, (About units routing for no reason) is no more..

Now I have actually long battles, with a lot of cassualties in both sides, without any units routing.. Well, at least not routing till the battle is almost lost, or they are overwhelmed..

The AI seems to be smarter than before, a lot more..

Played 2 sieges (Deffending), and the AI really used some really good strategies.. Backing up his Yari and Katana samurais with the archers, and moving them according my unit's position.. Thoso were huge bloody battles. (Against Ikko Iki, and Shogunate).

I also played a few Land Battles, and though they were small ones, the strategies the AI used were almost human :P Really nice challenge, without noticeable handicaps, just relying on better formations and strategies..

Diplomacy: Didnt try much, but seems to work right.. Although I really loved 4.1+++ diplomacy settings, I actually made some good allies, and stablished solid relations with at least 5 clans.. Dont know if Diplomacy changed a lot on 4.2 .

About naval battles, sorry, but I cant say anyting about it, cause I didnt have the chance to play one yet. But never had any problem with thems using DM.

Ah, and I almost forgot, Did you make some CAI changes? Cause the campaing AI seems a lot more challenging, in fact in 4.1+++ they just waited for me in most cases, and attacked me in rarer occasions, but since patch 4.2 the enemies are attacking me everywhere, they try to find the weakest positions and take them...

And I saw a lot of Full size armies on the Map.

..

All this is related to Shogun 2 Campaign, played in Hard difficulty as Hojo clan.

I will keep playing and I will comment further experiences here, but everything seems working right so far.

Thanks Darth ;)

Awesome, thanks Darth.. I will try it as soon as I get home tomorrow, and with a bit of luck with all DLCs too, they are in special Sale in steam :D..

Just want to know something else.. Is this new update save compatible? Or Should I start a new campaign?

Thanks ;)

Great.. But I want to ask if this new update is save compatible? Or should I start a new campaign?.. Thanks ;)

Sorry, now that I read this again I realise I messed up with the unit names :P

Samurai Ashigarus --> Yari Samurais

@Belgarion, maybe its not technically llegal.. But think about it.. If the information in his profile is true, he is from Hungary, and you know.. there are a lot of things that people living in countries like that one cant obtain legally..
Is even harder for them if they dont have a credit card, (International Credit Card are the only ones allowed for Online purchases, and I can tell you, it isnt easy to get one in those countries).
Not everyone here in the web have the same access to stuff like that.. There are some countries where the game isnt even traded (You cant find them in the game stores, cause there is no game store there).. And if you for some reason find one, it will be highly overpriced..

Im writing these lines cause I know that kind of situation.. Thankfully things are a bit different in my country right now.. And I can purchase games.. But there was time when I couldnt, not because of lack of money, because there was no way at all..

Im sure you find this really amusing, but sadly its true.. Not every country is like the US or western European countries.

And its not fair to judge every single person in the world with the same rules..

;)

Sorry I had to write this, sorry for the long post ;)
