MOS 1.7 Gondor "Marka" Barded Horses Submod

**Davek** · September 28, 2015, 02:57 AM

Ah yes, I did try it out and then promptly forgot to report it here. Apologies for that.

Custom battle works fine all horses are present with correct textures.
New campaign starts up fine.
Continuation of old save works fine and the new horses (bodyguards) show up when fighting Gondor.

Yet to do:
Test new campaign with Gondor and fight battles.

So far no issues, and I like the look of the horses.

Excellent! This is very reassuring. Thanks for letting me know.

Also, if they look fine in custom battles, they'll look just fine in the campaign, theoretically.

Good job so far dude, but now we want to see more from you

Thanks, but I'm not sure I have that many abilities as a modder. I'd be glad to upload a music submod too, but beyond that I am unable to create wholly new units or anything like that. I can certainly tweak them, though, as shown here.

Hey, glad to see there is still someone interested in this project since I really lack the time to keep moving! I hope people can have fun with this project!

Thanks for the kind words; it was my pleasure.

Your work is fantastic, by the way.

Wow! It looks like a good amount of people have collectively downloaded from the ModDB page and TWC page, as well as from my Google Drive option and MEGA. Cheers to everyone who downloaded and I hope you're enjoying this submod as much as I am! I think this is cause for a little celebration, a funky one if you will:

**Roma_Victrix** · October 19, 2015, 11:19 AM

I just released a brand new submod for DAC! It's very similar to this one.

Just in case anyone's interested, I added a new ModDB download option on the Medieval II Total War Kingdoms page: http://www.moddb.com/games/medieval-...-horses-submod

Some new pictures I just uploaded to Tumblr:

Look's awesome but I'm not beeing able to enjoy it

I follow the instructions, tried doing it 3 times now, two of them the game will not load,getting me back to the desktop; the other one could load the game, but had a crash when I was triying to play a custom battle with the new models (couldn't start the battle). I've tried playing with and without running yhe cleaner.bat, even the RUN AFTER INSTALL of MOS, but nothing. Windows 7, Non steam-version. Any idea?? what could it be? what can I do?? I'm looking forward to playing with them as Gondor, or facing them with my Easterlings!
EDIT: I'm extractin the files in the Third Age folder as told

No one else has this problem (Davek confirmed that it works for him), so I don't know what could be causing your issues. I wouldn't have the faintest clue either unless you shared a log report for a crash. Did you look in the log report? If you have it, share it here by copying and pasting it.

Also, in the meantime, try one or more of the other download options. Perhaps one of the downloads got corrupted somehow?

**Rora Lion** · May 25, 2016, 04:22 PM

Just a small question pal ...

Is there any plan to implement this for vanilla 3.2? So that us using Leo's unofficial pathces can enjoy it as well? I don'think that's compatible with MOS.

**Roma_Victrix** · May 25, 2016, 04:39 PM

Well, I did make a similar version of this for DaC, so that's two mods already. I usually never play vanilla TATW, so probably not, unfortunately. I might do a similar submod for Second Age, along with the Silmarillion and DCILA submods when they are finally released, although I make no promises.

Of course, you could always mod vanilla TATW yourself if you're truly interested in having these mounts. It's quite simple, actually. You only need too edit a handfuln of files and add a few textures that are available via download from my submod. If you just save my submod to a random folder on your computer or even the desktop, you can see the contents of the unzipped folder. From the MOS "data" folder the only files that are edited are the "descr_mount" and "export_descr_unit", while the "battle_models.modeldb" file in the "unit_models" folder is also edited. Texture files that correspond with these text files are stored in their proper sub-folder locations within the same "unit_models" folder. There are also necessary sprite files saved to the "unit_sprites" folder within the main MOS "data" folder.

That's it! It would take you less than a day to add all of this stuff to vanilla TATW, minding the fact that you need to be careful when editing each of the text files to make it compatible with vanilla TATW versus MOS.

**Araval** · May 26, 2016, 04:34 PM

If you made this compatible with vanilla 3.2 then it wouldn'tbe compatible with Leo's submod.

UPDATE: deleted Tumblr pics and added Imgur ones instead, with a link to my Imgur album.

**Sevah** · August 02, 2016, 02:13 AM

Hello, i had the exact same problem with "aetiusaetius", after many trials i think its probably down to the fact that Enhanced Mos version isnt compatible with any mods that change the desc export unit file, its a shame really and i wonder if theres a workaround, but still good job on some very good looking horses, unfortunately i cant see them ingame.

**Ngugi** · August 02, 2016, 04:20 AM

Rule of thumb; mods are never compatibel, unless expressly said so in the description, or you're experienced enough to know the files won't cause conflicts. If unsure, best advice is to always ask first, and unless a thumbs up is given, avoid mixing submods.
