[loup99]

Beta Patch 0.9.5

Important: This is an official update to WtWSMS. It includes the latest GitHub version, with countless fixes and changes that were not included previously. All previous version or links are therefor considered as obsolete. The GitHub version won't be supported if it causes you issues, only the latest official patch. There are no major new systems in this release, except for the melting-pots that are making a WIP introduction. We want to get the mod stable and relatively bugfree before starting to expand content.

[Draakon0]

How's the savegame compatibility with 0.9.4?

 

[Romulien]

How's the savegame compatibility with 0.9.4?

Probably not compatible: there were some renamings/changes in landed_titles.txt to solve duplicated baronies, as well as move of a county to another de jure duchy.

Good news is that the strange/unexplained engine bugs (A.I. not accepting diplomacy actions, bad units gfx, ...) are now gone.

 

[erkkijuusto]

I remember that in 0.9.4 there was a problem with Dynasty shields Charlemagne, is it fixed?

 

[Kanaric]

Are the steppe empires formable now?

 

[Zorzagar]

Can I use the landed_titles from the last version with this version?

 

[loup99]

Can I use the landed_titles from the last version with this version?

I dont think so, or atleast not for the legions or any title localisation in Britain aswell as corrections to the holy sites.

Are the steppe empires formable now?

No, not as of this version.

- Added some crimean gothic dynasty names, courtesy of Comradebot

That's now two stickied mods I've given minor contributions to!

 

[yundakkor]

Are church councils going to implmented soon?

 

[Svo]

Going to try this new patch now. As long as it doesn't crash I won't be irate whatsoever! More features will come when they come.


Update: Got a CTD a few years in.. don't know if it's going to be common or not but we'll see. I sighed but I am not too surprised.. this IS early release after all. Keep up the good work because otherwise this is an amazing mod!

 

[loup99]

Are church councils going to implmented soon?

They will be in 1.0.0.

 

[Galloglasses]

Getting CTDs all over the place.

Followed the instructions, removed the gfx folder and got rid of the old WTWSMS items from the mod folder but everytime I try to boot up the mod it gets to the loading screen and promptly crashes without a fight every time. I tried removing the portraits one at a time and then booting it up, but no dice.

Halp.

Installation issue, what folders do you have inside your main "WtWSMS" folder? You are using all of the modules checked in the launcher?

 

[Polskers]

I see a lot of cultures in here in this one, and they all seem to be very identical... Roman/Latin look the same, etc... Are you still formatting and narrowing down culture names/groups?

Otherwise looks pretty good what you've good.

Yes, we are still doing it and tuning. Thanks.

 

[Chubbysuperhero]

Whenever I use this mod, alot of the characters don't have faces... Do I need DLC?

 

[erwi8891]

So I'm assuming I'm missing something that is glaringly obvious but how am I supposed to know the correct checksum if you don't tell me what the checksum is? (the OP just leaves a blank space after checksum)

At first I could play for maybe 10 years or so but eventually I started getting CTDs that just became more and more frequent to the point where the game now crashes after a few months of play. I started playing it along with some other mods, Your personal castle and some other in various combinations, but as the CTDs started I figured I should disable the other mods which ironically just led to less stability (well, that is to say I doubt there was any real correlation but it just seemed a bit amusing)

That said I'm having the same problem with other major mods so whatever the problem is I'm guessing it's not specific to any one mod. I did enjoy what little time I managed to get from the mod, I'm quite humbled by the massive work you've done, and I hope the random CTDs will go hang themselves some time soon so I can follow through on my doomed attempt to save the WRE :happy:

 

[loup99]

Yes, for the optional sub-mods.

So I'm assuming I'm missing something that is glaringly obvious but how am I supposed to know the correct checksum if you don't tell me what the checksum is? (the OP just leaves a blank space after checksum)

No, it is just me who have forgotten it completely, and do not have acess to the game for the moment. o

From the outside? What does that mean exactly? And no, to install it follow the instructions and we can help you if you encounter any issues. I guess what we could do is to take screenshots for every step.
