Armored Suebi 2.1 [UPDATE]

[Drapoc]

I opened an account so i could download the first version of your mod and now my first post on this forum is to you and your work: Thank you! Your mod will bring back much joy to the suebi!
Gotta go now to smash some heads!

HOORAY! Now I know what Im doing all this weekend!

[hooahguy14]

So this doesnt seem to be compatible with beta patch 7. I can load the game just fine and all the units are there, but I cant load battles. It sort of freezes on the battle load screen. Strange thing is though that sound-wise it loads, I can hear my units chatting and stuff like that, but visually battles arent loading. I checked to make sure I had no other mods but this one loaded and this one seems to be the culprit.

Also can you perhaps color in the unit cards?

Too awesome! Beautiful work

Thanks brother!

Thank you my friend. That means a lot to me.

Thanks for the feedback. I didn't get to test it on the new patch only 1.6, but I'll quickly try to get it compatible with the new patch. I'll color the unit cards too XD. I got a little lazy late last night when I was doing 'em XD.

[hooahguy14]

Yeah, I didnt figure you would have had time to make it compatible with the new patch yet.

You have done such amazing work so far, thank you!

[Prussian Warrior]

Hmm, I loaded a custom battle with beta patch 1.7 and I'm able to load in and see all the units.

[hooahguy14]

Thats really strange then, I cant load any battle. I wonder if my version got corrupted?

Thank you . I'm sorry about the error though. I'm trying to figure it out >.>.

Hmm, it seems unlikely, but you can try and re-validate your steam files.

[Prussian Warrior]

If that doesn't work, you can try and turn down the the graphics and see if it will load then.

[Prussian Warrior]

You don't have any other mods in movie format right?

I'm terribly vexed.

[hooahguy14]

I have disabled every mod that I had but this one, no luck.

I validated the files, no luck.

I tried lowering the graphics, no luck

I tried not using the new units, no luck.

Then I tried to fight a battle using different factions with this mod enabled, like Macedon versus the Averni, and it worked.

So something must be wrong on the Suebi side of things.


Here is a screenshot:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

What happens is that it gets to that point loading and then stops. The cursor appears instead of the hourglass and I can hear the battle: the birds, the men chatting, I can even navigate and issue orders and start the battle, albeit that I cant see anything since its stuck on the loading screen. I alt-tab out of the game and open it up again to see if that fixes it but all I get is a black screen.

So the only thing that I can think of to try is to re-download the beta patch.

[Prussian Warrior]

Do you have the Nomadic tribe DLC?

Try a battle with just spear levy for the suebi.

[Prussian Warrior]

Also try to turn on unlimited video memory.

[hooahguy14]

Unlimited video memory is checked. Spear levy works fine, and I have the nomadic DLC.

The problem seems to be with the new units I think.

[Prussian Warrior]

Try it with every old unit, but by themselves and see it it loads in.
Like just sword masters by themselves.

[Prussian Warrior]

What CPU and graphics card do you have also?

[hooahguy14]

I have a i7 processor at 2.3ghz and a Geforce GT 640.

So the lower level old units work up until the sword masters, which causes a crash. As for the new units, the new cavalry works, as does the new spearmen. However, none of the new units in the melee category or the pike unit work. I hope that helps narrow it down. Im going to do further testing.

EDIT: Noble riders dont work.

EDIT 2: So I did more testing. The bloodsworn and beserkers work, as do the Volksschwerter and the two handed axes and swordsmen. But not the Gothi nobles or Kuningaz Beryanoz. The common thread here Im seeing is their shields. The units which arent working for me are the ones with the circular shields. Can you check into that?

Can anyone else check into this to see if its just me or if its everyone?
