RNJ General Discussions/Questions/Errors

[lord ahrens]

I think the team has like 3 active people now, Leonn, Bigg Budd and Rarity-so it would be almost impossible to port all the things from Rome to Medieval 2. It would be good to try but it would take a few years for them to do it, and the knowledge to port/transfer things from Rome to Medieval 2 is really lacking here for this team.

[Yayattasa]

Lord Ahrens, thanks for the answer!
Well, so I suppose one can hope it's still a possibility, at least.
I'm learning how to convert RTW units to M2, there are some good tutorials here at TWC.
I asked that because I just started playing M2, and now I see how RnJ would fit perfectly in it.
And last, but not least, the M2 engine lifted some limitations we see in the RTW engine (like 5 religions, more factions, more freedom in the cities architeture).

[lord ahrens]

Yeah it would be a perfect fit for M2, i totally agree with you. Id recommend asking a few veteran modders of M2 for help, maybe they have some tips, or possibly they could help with the process. I know there is a samurai mod already going for M2, but it has no campaign yet-see if they want to add some RnJ stuff to it...I wouldn't mind sharing most of my work from our mod. For most of the other models for units, you might want to ask the head devs that used to wok on RnJ.

Heres their mod-http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=1650

Heres a chance to win 7 TW GAMES. FREE! Yes. My account is not possessed by an adbot.

Now why here? Well potentially, this one of the locations that parts of the TW community interested in the Sengoku Jidai frequent. (Like me ) And we need you Jidai otakus! Your research, your sources and ideas! Like Tachibana or other clans we might have missed in Seki.

Hope to see your input guys, and win this.

Okay so when I brought up the game it didnt completely fill up the screen as the Total War games usually do. It only covered part of it. So I brought up the game and tried changing the screen resolution, but that didnt help as it doesnt show my desktops screen resolution which is 1600x900. I mistakenly changed the screen resolution and the the settings for the game. I didnt know what the original stuff was so I deleted the Shogun 2 folder that Ran No Jidai installs, and installed RNJ again. I also installed 2.5 patch again, though I didnt see anything to delete and assumed it would just install over it and be okay. I tried playing and for some reason whenever I go to the area at the bottom of the the screen to try and end a turn, click on my army, look at my faction details, etc. I see the mouse moving at the bottom of the screen where the desktop shows. When I try to click on anything I cant, the game just freezes until I go back up into the map area and click on something else. I have no idea what I did to do this, and what to do to fix it. Please tell me someone here does know?

[lord ahrens]

Change your desktop resolution the same as resolution in game and make sure you have it on 16 bit...The prefrences.txt file should already be changed to make the resolution normal. If your PC has a bigger screen which i see you have, you may want to try to lower it and match that in your video options in game, also make sure resolution ingame is 16 bit for battle map and then apply settings. If any more issues occur redownload the newest patch and the prefrences.txt will fix.

[Jhattoy]

HOW DO I INSTALL IT??? I download the file but i have no idea how to open a RAR file, i downloaded winzip but i dont know what to do

[BiggBudd]

put rar file on desktop, install winzip, then right click on rar file and "extract here", hope that helps

[BiggBudd]

Ok try going to pref file and set SHOW_BANNERS:FALSE
Many thx for your generous comments, but this is our only forum. And seeing soo many peeps have contributed to this mod it would be nice to see it getting the attention it deserves.
I am currently testing a newer more stable version, it has a bigger economy, have redone the traits file from scratch, and have re balanced a lot of units, especially the morale bonus, battles are even more dynamic, cavalry is now more easily defeated, and a new wardog anti cav unit has made an appearance.
Am spending some time researching about the use of wardogs by Samurai, apparently most daimyo had them, for chasing routed enemies, but not much evidence about them being used during the main battle. So taking a few units to chase down smaller stacks, or when you intend for no survivors after a big multi stacked battle, would make them a great addition to the battlefield.
Am also awaiting a redo of the minor clans from Crociato78, it really adds to the flavour and historical accuracy of the mod.

[Stath's]

It's ok, i don't really have a problem with it, just thought you may wanted to know.

Those ideas you have in mind sound very exciting. What exactly do you mean by bigger economy? Also, are there any plans to increase the prices and the upkeep of the units?

Another idea would be to request someone in the forum to make new RNJ signatures for you, so the members could use them. With the background of the mod, it could surely produce some awesome ones.

Glad to see you keep trying to make RNJ even better.

[BiggBudd]

I What exactly do you mean by bigger economy? Also, are there any plans to increase the prices and the upkeep of the units?
.

Basicly have added "increases tax income by %" to all trade and weapon upgrade buildings, this has the effect of the ai building more and better infrastructure, and better armed enemy stacks as well as more cash to support more stacks.
The upkeep has had little change, any suggestions welcome?

[Stath's]

It is because I am a fan of higher prices, more expensive units, lesser stacks, that's why. But i see we have different kind of philosophy Hehe, not a problem

[BiggBudd]

I do the same for the SPQR mod, too many stacks, however there's an easy fix, edit the descr_sm_resources.txt file and just halve the values, that will reduce the income, therefore less stacks.

[NekoGenijalan]

Hello, I installed everything without a problem, however when I start the game its not full screen. Any solution? Sorry if anyone else asked this before, its my first time in Ran no Jidai subforum.

[BiggBudd]

Just go to options (ingame) and change the resolution to match your desktop, mine set at 1920x1080 with monitor set to 16 bit colour, so in options I set battlefield and campaign map to 1920x1080x16

Hi all.
Any chance to get here alternative unit's info cards without the blood-like thing on it?
Something like on the left picture below (I removed red manually).



Another issue is bad visibility of selected units during battles. Here is an example. Selected unit is pointed with arrow, but one can see barley any difference between selected and non selected.

[BiggBudd]

There is an alt set of cards, I agree, they are difficult to tell who selected.
Look at Lord ahrens fix. http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...ord-Ahrens-fix
