[Mod] A Game of Thrones (Original Super Thread)

[caesarian]

It's not only a compatibility version, we could have output a 1.06 compatible version of the 0.1.1 the day after the 1.06 release.
But we wanted to add what we already did to it and while we had something pretty good, we still wanted to wait for the hotfix which has not fixed what we hoped it will.
So this time we won't be waiting for the fix as we have a working workaround.

So it will come soon... no more "after the hotfix" (unless they put one tomorrow )

Hey at least you guys arent like the modders who are making Europa Barborum 2 for Medieval 2 Total War. Great Original mod but its been years in develpoment, so for all of those being impatient--- Context is good

If your looking for Beta Testers. I am an official Paradox Their Finest Hour beta tester as well as the Black ICE mod for Hearts Of Iron 3 tester.

If you guys need beta testers i am the right guy

I bought the game the day of 1.06, just to play this mod. I'm not complaining, however, as I've happily been playing the base game, and thoroughly enjoying it - although I have had to check this forum several times a day to check for any news! I really don't understand, though, why a 1.06 compatible version wasn't released almost immediately - if that would have been as easy as some people have said it would have been. To me, it just seems like not a lot of effort (apparently) would have kept a lot of people happy - and then the developers could have happily carried on developing version 0.2 (or whatever they're about to release) at their leisure.

That's just an observation, though.. would just have seemed to make more sense to me. However, I must say a big kudos and thanks to the developers, who are of course doing this in their free time, for us.

Me too about buying the game at 1.06 and being dissappointed about waiting, but From what Zarine said a couple posts up, sounds like they had hoped an issue (relatively big?) was going to be fixed with the hotfix but it wasnt so now they arent gonna do this again???

 

[DanEFC]

Yeah I gather that what they hoped would be fixed, wasn't fixed.. but now they're just not waiting for Paradox to fix it, and are going to work around it.

The amazing thing about Paradox is that when they release a patch that breaks something, they patch the patch. The downside is that sometimes that breaks something else. That's more or less what happened to us here. You guys who bought the game at 1.06 won't be disappointed.

Could you tell us what was this obvious problem with 1.06 and the hotfix ? I am just asking out of curiosity.

 

[Xoatly]

From what I understand, they've already fixed it for 1.06. They're just making sure everything else works, such as the newly added Wildlings.

Yes it does sound like they were close to having a releaseable 1.06 version with new features added before the hotfix came out. From what Zarine and HobbesMkII indicated the hotfix broke something that is causing bugs and other problems which they are currently ironing out. So it might be a few more days.

So, I'm hardly the most technical guy for this, nor can I recall precisely what each issue was, but I'll give it my best shot:

As I recall, the 1.06 problem was the the mod paths. Specifically, in order to make the mod work, we needed to create dummy files for every file in vanilla CK2 and include that in the mod. Which was done. That made it work with 1.06, but then the hotfix was only a couple of days away, and that would make the fix redundant and would give us some time to smooth out the Wildlings.

I'm not sure exactly that it was 1.06b hotfix that caused it, but when it came out, we had a bunch of interesting new bugs that made the game crash to desktop at startup. I suspect they were simply there to begin with, but that the 1.06b wouldn't tolerate them like earlier CK2 builds would. And I'd goofed on getting my comments right for a couple of history files, which made save game crash to desktop. It's much much cleaner now. I ran an observer game last night and it seemed to be fine, and I know the coders (who are A+++, in my book) have only refined it since then. They're tracking down the last few things that absolutely must be done before there's a stable release out. So, it's pretty close. I can't give you an ETA, though, sorry.

One thing I'd like to be improved: The Trials by Combat. They should be like a duel if you decide to take on the prisoner in a trial by combat.

I'd add that The "A Clash Of kings" scenario has well advanced, the Database has grown a lot and it'll be playable when I add a description for the scenario and a war file.

Still, it won't be enjoyable till we add a bunch of events (renly. Stannis, Balon, Arya ! etc..)

But we found an event coder, it wont be too long I hope

 

[edfathead]

I Dont know how you guys put up with half the ungratful NOObs on here............ Thank you from me for persevering.

IWANTITNOWIWANTITNOWIWANTITNOW! Why are the horrible lazy-ass mod team taking so long????

Seriously though, I have a feeling this is going to be worth the wait. I know the basics of modding, and that's about it, but reading some of the stuff the guys are working on has me drooling like a 10 year old nerdy kid at wrestlemania

So, clash of the kings is included in the upcoming release ? Or it will be added only after it is refined ?

Go on the mod's forum and ask, I did it 2 month ago It worked

So, clash of the kings is included in the upcoming release ? Or it will be added only after it is refined ?

Nope, it will be added when it's fully finished, as we are a kind of subteam we go our rythm. But I think we wwould have finished within 15 days, depends of the help we'll get as we ain't so many. But the main team is providing us a lot of stuff and we thank them for that

I need this mod for this weekend... Pleeeease!
