The best is to extract all these 3 files in different folders and follow the steps of the readme.

1. The Knights and Knaves Data:
-put the data folder form "horse barding" into your medieval folder (asked for overwrite the data folder = allways yes)
-put the data folder form "knights&knaves" into your medieval folder
-put the data folder form "Icons and Descriptions for New Units" into the dlv folder

2. The dismounted Order Knights Data:
-put the unit_models folder (subfolder of Data) into the vanilla data-folder
-(additional) put the overlaytextures folder (subfolder of Data) into the vanilla data-folder
-put the "ui" folder (subfolder of MyMod/Data) into the DlV-Data folder

3. The modified Files:
-put the Data folder from "DlV" into the DlV folder
-put the Data folder from "vanilla" into the vanilla folder

4. Edit the Launch_DLV_ext.bat:
-click on the .bat file and got to edit and put this line: medieval2.exe @DLV_ext.cfg --io.file_first
in place of what was in there.

Now are:
-Sergeant Swordsmen are available for: England, France, Milan, Venice, Sicily and Papal States.
-Dismounted Mailed Knights are available for: England, Scotland, France, Hre, Spain, Portugal, Milan, Venice, Papal States and Sicily.
-Andalusian Infantry available for the Moors.
-Axemen are available for Denmark and Russia.
-Swabian Swordsmen are available for Hre.

All these units are recruitable in a drill square (level: castle).

The Order Knights chapter houses are also a bit changed:

1.level: only dismounted units with a maximum pool of 1 and a very, very slow replenish rate
2.level: both, maximum pool is 2 (dismounted) and 1 (mounted) and a bit better replenish rate for dismounted
3.level: both, maximum pool is 2 (for both), 1 expr. and a moderate replenish rate (1 unit every 2 years)

I would like to see them recruitable in a similar way like merchants. That means one unit for every minor chapter building, two for a major and three for a hq.
But i dunno how.

For germans: There is also a german readme included and a german export_unit, bringing german description for the new units to you.

[Adam the VIth]

Hi guys,

you need these two Mods:

burrek's Knights and Knaves v0.95
http://www.twcenter.net/forums/downl...o=file&id=1116

Dismounted Knights Orders Mod by zhumin1978
http://files.filefront.com/Dismounte.../fileinfo.html

AND you need also my modified files from the attachment!

The problem is that booth mods modifies the battle_models.modelbd and you need also to modify some DLV-files (e.g. export_descr_units). The modified files to let these two mods work together for DlV are in my attachment.

The best is to extract all these 3 files in different folders and follow the steps of the readme.

[cyruzthaviruz]

ok thanks great work ^^ i installed the new skins from burrek (european skins) , too... i dont know wether there are skin changes in DLV or not Oo

[Adam the VIth]

Did exactly what you said, but not working, DLV starts and then crashes after load screen.

Please provide exactly what the "Launch_DLV_ext.bat" file looks like after you "Add " --io.file_first"

That might be our problem. (edit): that is the problem -- just show us exactly what that file name now looks like, several of us have misinterpreted it.

Thanks for your patience.

In the .bat file must be written:
medieval2.exe @DLV_ext.cfg --io.file_first

Note: The space between ...cfg and --io.file_first is important! How to edit the bat-file is described at the DlV-FAQ too.

[Adam the VIth]

Thank you Ordensritter!

For others: he means right click on the .bat file and got to edit and put this line:

medieval2.exe @DLV_ext.cfg --io.file_first

in place of what was in there.

I was just changing the name of the .bat file. That doesn't work! Silly me!

[cyruzthaviruz]

repman will you add ordensritters files and the knights an knaves / dismounted order knights to your great DLV... i havce installed it plus the "early european skins" from burrek and i love it ^^

[HIGGUM]

1.) broken link corrected
2.) not savegame compatible

I guess a seperate addon file were good. (like it's used by The Long Road)

I've also installed:
- most of the shields retexture
- Blood and Dirt v0.91
- burrek's Unique Europeans, High Period v0.3
- burrek's Unique Europeans, Early Period v0.91
- Early Generals Mod v0.2 (very good!)
- Turk Reskin 1.1

All available at the download section! All these mods are unproblematic, because they only change textures.

[hellbard]

there is something wrong with the links.. i think..

[Kataki]

Those mods sound interesting, how exactly would I go about installing them?

Btw thanks for your patience and help

[cyruzthaviruz]

aaaah i thought you can only either install the early period mod OR the late period mod ^^

[Marku]

thanks Original poster, this worked :-)

my byzantine look loads better now.

[Kataki]

Hey Ordensritter how did you get the Early generals mod to work? I tried just following its install directions but it crashed apon load, so I tried putting the folder in the DLV folder and it didnt even show up.

[Ordensritter]

@hellbard:
I don’t know what’s wrong with the links? There are working fine!

You can also search the mods for your own.
Knights and Knaves v0.95 can be found in the download section.
To find the Dismounted Knights Orders you have to use the search, look for these words in the Sub-Forum Mod Threads and you will find a Thread with this name and a link inside.

@Kataki:
To install the other mods: Mostly, you have only to put the data folder into your vanilla folder. Just follow the steps of the mods readme.
Especially for early generals:
-extract the file
-open "change both" and copy the folder "unit_models"
-paste it into the vanilla data folder

@Sleepys,oo:
DlV don't touch the the dbmodel!
I don't know which parts of OS20 are included in DlV2.0.
That's an interresting question to the dlv-modders.
