Western Unit Overhaul v4.0 (Jan 26, 2015)

[Murfmurf]

Wow, someone's been busy! Fantastic work. The M2TW community is back. +reppage

[Kaskad]

Hi Sandy

I have a problem since I installed your mod (1.0+2.0+2.2): I get CTD everytime I engage a battle (CTD occurs during the loading of the battle)....
Don't know where the problem comes from, as it seems to work perfectly for you.

( I tried different ways to solve this issue. It appears that when I delete the file "battle_models.modeldb" I finally can start the battle. But then I get graphic issues: missing faces, empty shields (black), missing parts of the bodies, some soldiers also completly disappear and are then visible only when I point the arrow of the mouse on them, etc....

[john duca]

I installed the mod in an already modded m2tw kingdoms that i know it works..now i can finally play DLV
Your mod is gorgeous..you are planning to reskin other factions too? Orthodox factions have a terrible looking roster (novgorod).

[preussen6]

Can you upload your mod on other site than here ?

[G|I|Sandy]

Kaskad,
This mod requires installed DLV 6.0, then DLV 6.2 patch, then BB4.23(full) then BB4.27. All the links on the first page. If you have installed all of these and still get a ctd, post the error log.

john duca,
Glad you like it. As for the eastern rosters, i am not planning to work on them because it is too much effort for 4-5 factions and i am not interested in them. There are mods like Rusichi, and TGC who cover slav factions.

preussen6,
ModDB approved the 2.1 full version download file, but still has not approved the mod. I uploaded the 2.2 patch there as well, though it will take some time to be authorized. For now i would suggest to play with v2.1, but avoid battles with carroccio standard - it will lead to ctd.

Tartaros i have made a few units for the eastern roman empire ( scoutatoi, italian mercs etch ) but i need permition from the broken crescent team since i used matterial from their mod. Because Sandy give his permition in advance i am trying now to make unique shields for every faction. once i am done i would ask for a permition from broken crescent team and i will upload photos.

Oh, I know it has absolutely nothing to do with this mod but if and when you do get permission can you post screens

@GeMiNi][SaNDy

What mod for stainless steel is going to use this pack If I may ask? Just curious

[Choki]

just wow! I love this units! Really nice job mate!

The game was working very well untill I installed WUO.
I just re installed the entire mod (DLV6.0+6.2+BB4.23+4.27), and still the same CTD.

11:45:03.875 [system.rpt] [error] Medieval 2: Total War encountered an unspecified error and will now exit.

[_Tartaros_]

did you install Wuo correctly? maybe you mixed up the folders.
there is also a dlv_ext folder inside dlv_ext/data folder.

[Kaskad]

Unfortunatly not... I even installed all the files one by one manually, still no result



Edit: PROBLEM SOLVED. My installation was correct, but I was maybe using old files from 2 years ago when installing BB 4.23. I just re download 4.23 + 4.27 from the links in the first post and re installed everything, and that is ok now.

[stevietheconquer]

hello,can it be that version 2 attachmentsets is messing with the attachmentsets from version 1 units;like mailed knights, spear militia,and some other onces as they looking strange after i put version 2 attachmentsets in like some units getting strange helmets and faces,i fixed it by renaming the attachmentsets from version 2 and changed too in model_units file, so the attachmentsets from version 1 are not replaced by the onces from version 2 and after i did this all units looking fine again,thanks for those great units!

[Tainaka]

I have reinstalled DLV 6.0, 6.2, BB4.23, BB4.27, and BB4.28 multiple times but version 2.0 of this mod still causes me to crash whenever I try to defend a settlement from the Moors in North Africa such as Fez and Algiers. Version 1.0 of this mod works perfectly but only 2.0 gives me trouble. After installing BB4.28, I've noticed there are no errors listed in the log even after crashing except the usual "Medieval 2: Total War encountered an unspecified error and will now exit."

[Legio XV Apollinaris]

perhaps i found a typing error in the "battle_models.modeldb"

Patch v2.3 is out. Fixes the above mentioned issue.

Sandy

[L&O_92]

I love this units!

[Taiji]

Spotted this strange problem:



The artifact apparently points at the scabbard (model above beltline is missing).

Small headed scarecrow man looks like something went wrong in the animation system while trying to use the model.

Seems to only occur rarely and only as a result of melee, so possibly it's something to do with the secondary weapon model.

Hope it helps

edit:

Just wanting to make it clear that I haven't eliminated the animations themselves as a potential cause. If there's no obvious problem with the models then I really think the animations need to be eliminated as a potential cause before it can be said that the model is responsible. So don't scratch your head over it too much if it's not obvious, is my advice.

[The Crooked Philosopher]

Very nice, but you need more variety of shield.

[nikossaiz]

Very nice, but you need more variety of shield.

Sandy did the 100% of all the hard work and provided the community with great elements according to models and textures. So it is up to us to push it a litlle farther.


Sandy : I think that i understand what ( in my humble opinion offcouse ) is missing from your models. A long chainmail tunic, come down till the knees. Typical norman and scandinavian outfit from knights to just infantry sholdiers.

[stevietheconquer]

good work on shields nikossaiz,gives a very medieval feeling

[_Tartaros_]

very nice additions
