FAQ

I freed up my laptop from a big chunck of what was on it and run the Windows check for bad sectors and the defragmenter. There were no bad sectors or related issues reported. Fingers crossed that report is accurate.

Geomod reported a bunch of files missing from nearly all affected mods, most of the strings.bins files, and some others. Only one of these files was missing from SS and some differrent files were missing from BC. It may or may not be the update. I ought to have backups of everything, so I will restore the missing files tonight and see what happens. If everything starts to work fine, then it was probably not the update.

Are your other mods working? Is this a specific problem you have with 1648? Have you been able to play 1648 before?

I will copy and post the offline launcher and configuration files from my gaming computer (which should be corruption free) later tonight when I am back home. If you only have a problem with 1648, you could try to run the mod by using those.

Not recently.

As far as I can tell the kingdoms.exe itself works, at least after I replaced it from a copy that was working fine. SS, BC and the original Kingdoms mods (Crusaders, Americas, etc) also do not run but two kingdoms mods that I have not played in years (Rusichi and Chivalry II), do actually run. That is mysterious. The missing desktop shortcuts (SS setup and 1648 Reichsmutation) were restored by restoring to my 1st of February restore point, so these probably went missing after the critical update. I will run Geomod on the various non-working mods, just in case it shows anything.

Unless Geomod reports some issue, I may have to reinstall everything from the medieval II disc, downloads and backups and then hope that critical update has not permanently messed something up. I am not looking forward to that.

This one works much better))
Thanks a lot!

[Geoffrey of Villehardouin]

Whatever that was, restoring the missing file worked for Stainless Steel, while the vanilla Kingdoms mods worked fine after reinstalling them. Repairing some of the other mods will be more painstaking but prospects are good.

Did you use any custom animations in this mod?

[Gigantus]

The drummer and flagger have a custom animation I believe, other then that I am not aware.

Is the way units moving across tactical map is hardcoded?
Firearms units are the most effective with 2lines formations. But, while moving they break it and move in a squre formation.

[Geoffrey of Villehardouin]

I think most/all units will keep their formation when moving, if put on guard mode.

If there is no more trade, why trading facilities are still in construction pool?

[k/t]

There still is, no? It just drops to 0 when your faction gets large.

[Gigantus]

Unit cohesion is determined by the stat_mental entry in the EDU.

If there is no more trade, why trading facilities are still in construction pool?

Some trading facilities enable certain buildings, such as academic buildings or allow the recruitment of supply wagons. They may have also some other effects such as determining income of your trade partners from trade with your faction.

Since apparently neither towers nor walls can be damaged by artillery, this can make sieges a struggle. Coupled with other siege-related bugs like cavalry ending up on top of walls and invisible walls in front of gateways, it makes it seem as though it's pretty much entirely pointless to play sieges at all. I've checked the installation thread and apparently there is no fix for this. My question is: Are there any plans to address any of these issues later on down the track?

[Gigantus]

You can revert to 'vanilla' walls and towers by renaming\deleting the ...\1648_2\data\settlements\north_european\settlements folder.

[kdub22]

Thanks for that. I'm glad there's something that can change it, because aside from this problem I've had with this one facet of the mod, so far I'm enjoying it quite a lot.

Is there any other way to download this mod? The 7zip files are corrupted (I've redownloaded numerous times and used 3 different .zip openers including 7zip) and the torrents aren't even connecting

[Gigantus]

Could be your connection - I am downloading myself right now as I lost a couple of install files during a drive cash. My bandwidth is appalling in the pic (max I get with my tariff is 120kbps), but as you can see there are plenty seeders out there.

[kdub22]

Is there somewhere I can get a list of the music used in this mod?

[Kejoin]

I would like a music list too! This mod has an amazing soundtrack!

The youtube link seems to go to a Giovanni Picci composition. is it supposed to be a tutorial video, or is that an example of one of the tracks from the mod?
