La Guerre de Cent Ans 1.0 - Kingdoms and Steam compatible

https://i.ibb.co/93GKrrZ/centans-intro.jpg

Introduction

Having come across this mod several times in the course of Q&A due to it's restriction of being an 'old' mod I decided to port the mod to kingdoms and with it to steam. While at it I also set it up for use by the Mac version of the game.

Please note that this is based on the original mod (0.99), files were only edited to ensure compatibility, some were removed as they exist in the original pack or are no longer needed. As such the original permission for the mod applies:

Installation

This is one of my 'click through' installations.

• As long as your registry is fine the installer will find the correct installation path. If not, simply follow the instruction displayed in the installer.
• At the end of the installation a file verification will take place, allow it to finish, check for error messages, close it and finalise your installation.
• Steam users: no need to do anything - simply start the mod with it's desktop shortcut

THANKS mate! Downloading now!

Thanks dude! Downloading it now!

Well, 3 problems for me apear.! Playing with the English and in sieie whenit loADS THE BATTLE CTD with a message like "Something happen here sorry pal" or something. A second CTD happened with a message that my VGA is to low and I must downgrade the graphics options and stuff and btw I have an Nvidia 2080 RTX Ti 11GB-I/7 8700K 3,6 6 cores and 16 GB DDR4 so for God's sake it's not my rigs problem with those 2 CTD.! The 3 rd problem is an AI problem because in a segie the French cavalry and knights never enter the city and they had destroyed the door so I waited for the clock to passes and I win the battle. I would love for all of this mods to be finished and working 100% but only in my dreams, I will see what happens I guess. Buddy GIGANTUS, not your fault, of course, you do a great job but i got to tell something about those problems and if there is a solution I am all ears. Btw any progress with KotS and Rule Brittania thanks.! :(

I just read this article, but to be honest I wouldn't know which setting in M2TW equates to that.

The game actually only uses one core, but as long as they are above 2.8Ghz you should be fine.

Well, thanks for the article but I read it before cause I have Fallout4 and I fixed the CTD for F4 but as you said we need the thing that makes the CTD almost to all of my mods in MTW2/Kingdoms. With Vanilla I am ok but I don't want to play Vanilla those mods are awesome they make the game far better too bad for me that i can't play the mods the way it should play.! Btw my 6 cores are all 3.6Ghz.!:(

Gigantus... Can u help me with a seperate problem?

I remember playing this mod roughly a year ago and it being a very buggy experience compared to newer mods, but this looks very promising, great job Gigantus! :thumbsup2

downloading now :)

I hope , there is no too much bugs as in 0.99? i was player of 0.9 version (130 MB), but 0.99 was for me unplayable because of CTDs every time.
Now i`m downloading this version and want to play it normal )))

Nice!

Any feedback regarding stability and bugs?

Good work on this installer Gigantus, I could never make it work in the original release.

Am I correct that this mod is still unfinished? I made only a few quick campaigns to check the general stability, no long term testing:

1: some texts seem to be missing (eg. when you quit a battle, the quit "button" is blank. Also, the "delay battle start" button on the deployment screen has "3" written on it only)
2: I found some silver surfer units (not in big players though)
3: seems this wasn't playtested?
- as Navarre, holding 2 (two) settlements, I had ~50 000 florins in 5-6 turns. (I gifted my two far-far away holdings to France + disbanded the useless rabble)
- it seems that you cannot recruit units in Flemish cities _at all_. Not even the ones your army starts with (flemish pikes)
- movement should be faster on the campaign map. Maybe even doubled (easy check: England Bordeaux is revolt. General in neighbouring province. It takes 3 turns to get there)
4: CTDs were relatively common. 6-7 in an hour. Mostly when retreating from battle.
edit: one was quite serious, I couldn't even start the mod without restarting the PC.


It is a pity, because I love regional mods, and this one has some really cool features. (brilliant map + factions play differently from each other)



edit 2:
I am very suspicous of a text error. I tried to think about what the CTDs have in common, and it seems I get most (but not all) when there is a loading screen (after cinematic, before/after battle). This might be related to having missing text in other places too :hmm: Also, these are random, quit+load and it works (mostly).

It's very possible that the mod isn't completely finished.

Loading related crashes could have faulty sequences as cause: the loading screens as well as the quotes need to have an unbroken numerical sequence.

Edit: nope, both are fine.

Thanks a ton for checking, and terribly sorry about misleading you.

No problem - always glad to help.
