Thread: Blood, Broads, & Bastards! v2.0 +

  1. #1

    Default Blood, Broads, & Bastards! v2.0 +

    2 Jun 07: V2.0 is live!
    http://www.twcenter.net/forums/downl...do=file&id=955

    This thread is for discussion of v2.0 + (the "+" means and any updates that fall under that number, like v2.0a, should bug fixes be needed).

    This mod:
    Is aimed at people who want more of an RPG experience in the game without it affecting the strategic/tactical gameplay in too overhanded a manner.

    • titles for every province along with graphics. Most titles grant a little tax boost, some grant other negative effects... like the will to go it solo (lower loyalty), a few have other traits.


    • major system of tracking royal blood and lineages. This series of traits by Pnutmaster will astound you and warm your RPGamer heart.

    • a disease system that affects gameplay without becoming tedious and depressing.

    • Privy Council Offices like King's Treasurer, the Privy Seal, Chancellor, Marshall, Master of the Horse, etc... for both player AND AI.

    • Grandmasters for every Knightly Order- one international grandmaster per order, elected by his peers (sorta).

    • Rebellions, where your unruly nobles can turn on you, refuse to move if they get too disloyal, and lock themselves up in a city and cause it to rebel completely unless you send a loyal noble to counteract him. The rebellion is aimed at your King, so if he "abdicates" or... whatever... things should calm down- but you can always fight for the crown!

    • Archbishops for each Kingdom and the Orthodox Patriarch! Yay!

    • Activated all Ancillaries found in game: Black Stallion, Body Guard, Ornate Armor, Custom Armor.


    • Added new Ancillaries: Black Stallion for Princesses, a White Stallion.

    • Princesses get a MAJOR OVERHAUL. They are interesting dynamic characters now. Hussies, prudes,lesbians, *****es, fertile, infertile, beautiful, ugly, affected by the genes of their mothers as well as their fathers, you name it. And a lot LESS "secret lovers."

    • A NEW educational system for young princes. They can receive educations in the capital (Royal Court), in Religious INstitutions, and in Castles (Martial education). They get four turns of education. However, some princes, the worst students, fail to learn anything... sorry.

    • Game NOTICES when a princess comes of age ANYWHERE in the world, and when a Monarch dies too! (Finally!)

    • Tries to fix EVERY SINGLE VANILLA BUG in the ancillaries and traits files...

    • and more... believe it or not.

    It's working for me at this moment. The size of the mod grew from about 2.5 to 6.5 mbs due to graphics added in, so maybe it took awhile to clear the system? To shrink it further I also did it as a .RAR file not ZIP, which saved 1 MB and will not help to not overkill TWC's bandwidth...

    A little note to EVERYONE:

    I've tested this version and had no CTD's... however EACH person plays differently and you MAY find a CTD or other bugs along in your playing. SO please, give it a few test drives before you commit to a long game... you may discover bugs. Pnut and I WILL fix bugs instamagically and get a v2.0a out there ASAP if bugs crop up, however.

    I can guarantee there will be a v2.0a coming out next week or so with some text changes (descriptions and such)... but so far it looked pretty bug free....

    I would add, due to some deceptive size differences, the export_VnVs.txt in BBB 2.0 does not reflect the final, intended text descriptions for traits.

    A save-game compatible bugfix will be released in a couple of days to provide everyone with the most current version of the export_VnVs.txt.

    In the meantime, enjoy the new features

    Is that my cue to say "My fault?" LOL.... Yeah something is up with those files... and it was just going to take too long for me to sort through them before some other people in real life demanded my attention, and you all deserved v2.0 now rather than... well, whenever I will be back.

    WOW! Very good news today!
    The new features sound absolutely awesome!
    I can't wait to try it...

    One quick question though: Have you made it a little easier to gain command stars?

    Yes.

    Fight battles in which you have odds no better than about 66% in your favor and you should get stars (quicker at lower levels) if you kill about 25% of the enemy at least. This is subject to change depending on feedback we get.

    I may be out of the loop, but no, DLV 3.1 used BBB v1.9a. BBB V2.0 is BBB's first full compatibility with patch 1.2. Also there are new features to it that were not included in BBB v1.9

    No, that honor is all mine Blame my inability to actually test the files I'm editing (and of course, the arrival of a new computer that two BBB fans have approved ).

    To prevent the BBB 2.0 bugfix from being potentially save-game incompatible (and to satisfy my psuedo-OCD), here is a working, current version of the export_VnVs.txt (to be placed in your data/text)

    I assume that this is fully implemented in DLV 3.1?
    More precisely, DLV uses an early beta version of BBB 2.0 that lacks many of the new features included in this release.

    I have to unpack the game before I can install this right.

    Thats like 2 more hrs to wait before I can finally play 1.2 (I haven't touched the game, been waiting for this mod the entire time).

    Yes, unpack it.

    Sorry about the wait. LOL.

    Check back here in a bit for an interim VNV.txt release that will update the patch. Pnut is a quick worker...

    Explode.

    DLV adds a lot of stuff in the files we use for this mod in order to track experience and other stuff they added in.

    Once BBB v2.0a comes out, the DLV will no doubt easily be able update their stuff.
