Lidsmenn bug fixed - they're now holding their spears in melee! image - Wrath of the Norsemen mod for Medieval II: Total War: Kingdoms
Wrath of the Norsemen is a modification of Medieval II: Total War: Kingdoms, set in the viking age. The aim is to create a mod that is both historical and enjoyable for anyone who has an interest in the early medieval era of history, or is just a little bit too fond of blood and big axes.
I've fixed the long-standing bug causing the Lidsmenn to not hold their spears properly in melee, so the unit is a combined javelin/spearmen unit - and it's using javelins that are pointing towards the enemy before they're thrown unlike in many other mods.
The issue was such that the spears and javelins where both rigged to the "Weapon_01" joint, causing the spears to be glitched in melee while the javelins looked fine, by changing this to the right_hand-joint the spear became alright instead but the javelin would point the wrong way..
I then finally managed to fix the issue by moving the spear-vertices to the right-hand while not moving the other vertices for the javelin. I had forgotten how to do this but managed to somehow do it in the end. So now the unit is fixed.
