RELEASED: ---= Knights Templar Minimod =--- v0.5 beta

[Firebat11]

units are amazing + rep.


I remember you saying a while ago that we are allowed to use your weapons with existing mods. Is this still the case? I'd like to add some of your amazing weapons to Battle for the Baltic!

Again, this looks amazing!

Sure, go ahead Firebat. I'd love to see my babies work in other mods.

Now, how about that combining of our mods...?

If I understand it correctly, you didn't install SSTC proper, but only my SSTC patch? My mod doesn't include SSTC, only a patch to make it work with pre-installed SSTC. So between your steps 3 and 4, you should install complete package from SSTC thread (from my memory - SSTC 1.0, patch 1.2, hotfix and an optional horse spreading removal thingie).

If that doesn't help, post a system.log here, or at least list the files changed by Crimson Blood and Stone Forts mods.

That type of crash is caused by the battle_models.modelsdb file. Usually when one of the lines has an improper number assigned.

Not sure if that helps, but that's definitely the file that's cauing the problem

ok i just installed sstc 1 then the update then the quick fix and now it lets the game load but once you see stainless steel 6.1 it crashes so im thinking i should re install 6.0 then 6.1 then do everything just install sstc before i install KT mini mod. Ill wait to do this till the morning after i see what u guys think

thanks for the help btw plus rep to both of u ^^

The SSTC patch has a problem with the models file, I'm uploading a fix (with Lord_Calidor's Permission).

This should fix your problems!

[RomaVictor6969]

ok i have it working with no mods but rr 6.1 and KT MOD so i would like to get SSTC working what should i do now? do i install sstc 1 then patch then hotfix then firebats battle models rar. then your KT minimod patch for sstc?

[Lord_Calidor]

Try it in this order. It should work.

1. SS 6.1
2. SSTC & all fixes
3. KT Mod
4. KT SSTC patch from first post
5. Firebat's fixed modeldb

Man, I wish we had a simpler way of integrating various mods...

[Banzai!]

In the next release could you do something about the horrible helmets worn by the crusaders?

For instance give them this:

[GKRobertson]

Is there a chance of a version very soon that does not use Real Recruitment?

[Lord_Calidor]

@ Banzai: right, in the next release, most of the units will have new models.

@ GKR: unlikely. RR is the core of this mod and gives it much needed historical accuracy, among other great benefits.

I'm on year 1205 but only have mount knights no dismounted knights...I can't understand having no dismounted knights when i have mounted ones over a 100 years played and still with pants foot units of templar factions........

Patience, my friend. You're about 10 turns away from dismounted knights (and other goodies). It is worth the wait, trust me.

In early medieval, mounted knights were reluctant to fight on foot, as it was seen as embarassment to fight among other guys of lower class who can't afford a horse. Only at a later date, when the almighty knightly charge was often bogged down by prepared defenses or enemies with pole weapons, knights chose to dismount and enter the melee on foot.

For instance give them this:

Templars and not only them ussualy whore open helmets

here are some examples!Knights prefaired those mostly in south europe and in holly lands!

[Douchebag]

Open helmets are so much better...if you dont believe me play BC.

[Lord_Calidor]

Guys, in this mod Templars as an Order are not represented by just a handful of units. I know that previously, synonim for Templars were the Templar Knights unit. Well, let's just say that a picture has dramatically changed. Knights (as in nobility) within Templar faction are represented by multiple units, not just by KT's & DKT's.
This means that a) you don't need to wait 100 turns to "play with Templar Knights", as there are other Templar units recruitable prior to that milestone, and b) Templars of a both noble and common origin have many types of helmets, including greathelms, pot helms, cone helms etc... On average, every unit has 3 types of helmets per model (meaning, 3 per armour upgrade).
