Hotfix for Released Patch10

[dvk901]

Here is the hotfix for the released version of Patch10.

http://files.filefront.com/Hotfix_fo.../fileinfo.html


The following changes were made:

1.Changed animation of Roman Light Infantry to fs_spear
2.Fixed broken Free people Barb Archer texture
3.Fixed misspelled unit name in DMB causing CTD with Free People Pikeman
4.Fixed missing descriptions of Carthage units
5.Changed some Roman Hastati, Principe and Triarii unit cards so they are different colors for the three Republicn Legions. They don't macth the textures, but much easier to tell them apart in-game.
6.Did the same with VE Legions and Veterani cards so they can be distinguished easily.
7. Angel's new stats Version 3.5 included.
8. Completely removed the old 'Greek Swordsman and replaced with a 'Hoplite Sword' from Webbird. Much better units and cards.
9. Numerous small tweaks per player feedback.
10. Included NR's changes to map, especially in Armenian areas.
11. Fixed wrong animation for machimoi_pikemen.
12. Fixed Buggy Roman Legionary Cavalry
13. Renamed Nubian units to 'Nobataen', which is the more historical name.
14. Allowed the recruitment of the 1st cohorts wherever regular cohorts are recruitable.
15. Fixed a bunch of missing\wrong Free People\Slave unit cards.

Squid, could you create a separate installer for this so players don't have to download the whole thing again?

It should be save game compatible. I avoided doing anything to wreck people's campaigns.

UI.bat does have to be run again to get the correct\new unit cards.

this require us to run ui.bat and is it save compatible.

EDIT: i finally got to the end of dvk's words... i feel stupid...

[pseudocaesar]

im glad you got rid of the greek swordsmen.

[Squid]

I'll make a seperate installer for the hotfix, but include it in the big installer for patch 10, as well as the new full installer.

If this can wait a bit (noon tomorrow mountain time at the latest) I'm working on adding the gold borders to the faction start position maps like the mundus map has.

[dvk901]

OK. Thanks.

Is the treasury missing text issue fixed in this hotfix? I don't see it in your notes.

[Marku]

Yes, I fixed that in this.

The installer for the hotfix is finished, do you want me to link it here or make it available directly in the public forum?

[dvk901]

Both.

[GershomPatmos]

I'll be checking it out soon and giving feedback. I have other things to do first in prep for weekend. (TGIF!) Can't believe it's already Friday though.

The 'third unit' is this:

{successors_pezhetairoi_pikemen}Late Liby-Phoenician pikemen

{successors_pezhetairoi_pikemen_descr}
Can Form Phalanx\nSapping Ability\nCan Form Phalanx\nSapping Ability\n\nAOR UNIT. Phalanx pikemen (or phalangites) form the backbone of Macedonian style battle lines. In phalanx formation these troops can be used to pin the enemy line in place, while mobile forces wheel around the flanks to deliver a decisive blow. \n\nThe phalangites are drawn from families with decent resources, as these men need to provide leather cuirass armour and a metal helmet for protection. Phalanx pikemen carry a small shield strapped to the left arm, leaving both hands free to brandish a lengthy pike (the sarissa). Gripped in both hands above the head up to five ranks’ worth of pikes can be aimed at the enemy. Men in rows further back hold their pikes at a 45 degree angle, creating a shield to ward off enemy arrows. All phalanx pikemen also have short swords.

I don't know why it's doing that.

It may have been a unit already identified and fixed by you for the hotfix (and that guy just hadn't downloaded the old version of it). I tested the unit with the hotfix and there no non-localized text message occuring.

I confirm...I didn't have any problem either. I haven't checked out all the factions, and I'm thinking it might be a while before most of us encounter Ptolemies, Selecids, etc. - but it looks like for now that everything is "under control" and working "smooth as a baby's bottom." Good job guys. I do have a question for you all though...

My infantry seem to walk fine, but it seems like the running is a bit fast. I no sooner try to chuck some projectiles at them (especially peltasts, velites, hastati & principes), and they're up in my face before I can usually get more than one volley out.

This is the movement rates with RS currently under "descr_battle_map_movement_modifiers.txt":

climate			default

grass_short		0.75
grass_long		0.7
sand			0.6
rock			0.8
forest_dense		0.6
scrub_dense		0.75
swamp			0.55
mud			0.6
mud_road		0.7
stone_road		0.85
water			0.5
ice			0.5
snow			0.5

I don't know why...but to me it seems just a little "too fast" when units are running/charging. Perhaps drop the values by 0.1 or 0.2? What do you all think? I did this before at 0.2 and I liked the effects. Any further was way too slow.

Gersh

If you'd like, make the adjustments, test them and submit the file.
I agree that they move too fast, but I've not really messed with this file much. I think it was part of Barsooks Enhancements or something.

[Angel]

I already done some work on that movement if you like I can put in my unit stat work thread and you can d/lem. I have tested them long time and they provide great battle realastics in the enviroment.
