@Fahnat : No harm in starting a campaign now. I, for one, am thirsty for more LP contributors. What is your channel?

Cool. Let us know when you release an episode.

So obviously there were some delays over the last few months, crucially a lot of RW commitments that killed my available time for far longer than I had hoped.

Just want to reassure people that this is still happening. If everything goes well release will be before the end of this month.

We never lost faith!

I keep hearing about this troll issue, sounds exactly like issues we had in BOTET trying to adapt infantry and horse based animations to work for the elephant class. The fix is rather simple, make sure first bone name is the same as a vanilla elephant platform_E_bone in medieval 2(instead of pelvis_bone). Also might need to do it to the animations, just rename the first bone and crashing should be gone.

P.S. Amazing mod, really impressed with what I have seen so far.

Well, it's something we haven't tried yet afaik. Will give it a shot, thanks!

Unfortunately it doesn't work just changing the bone name in the model. I really don't know anything about animation modding either so I'm afraid I can't try that method.

Great! Many thanks to the team for having continued to work on The Fourth Age. It has been a long way since the first releases, back in 2006/2007 (nostalgy mode here), and a great collective effort throughout the years. FATW is one of the proofs that the venerable Rome: Total War was/is really one of the best TW games ever, still to this day.

**webba84** · October 31, 2019, 10:43 PM

Apologies to everyone that we haven't yet got the forums properly updated with the new release information. TWCenter was down when we released, and I've been on a hectic travel schedule since, but I promise we will get it done soon, including updating the techincial support information for those who are struggling to get the mod (game, really) running under windows 10 (just about all of us, these days).

He ment the bone name in the skeleton. So you need to unpack your skeleton.dat (Modelers Toolbox 0.6) and look for a file with the name that you put into the battlemodeldb below the textures. You can open this one with Notepad++ and see/edit the bone names.

**webba84** · November 28, 2019, 09:59 PM

Yeah, that became obvious after trying what I could with the model. I've got no experience at all with skeleton.dat and FATW's one is highly customized already (by others), so I'll just have to hope I get enough time to properly learn it later.

Hello! I would like to express my utmost gratitude for creating this mod. I love everything about it. It's the only RTW mod that has permanent space on my laptop. Keep up the good work, guys! Cheers!
