Young warrior/slave hunters
Only a few notes needed.
I would suggest more variation in equipment.
The Slave driver should go with simple tunic, and possibly a sax or axe as secondary weapon.
The Slave hunter shouldn't get mail armor, but simple padded/leather jerkin/fur armor.
The Veteran Slave hunter should have a sword if he has mail. Same for the Slave hunter chief.
Remove also splinter leathers greaves as footwear.

Final step for this phase, the Anglo-saxons. As units are basically the same from one to another subculture, my equipment list will stay so. Of course, feel free to put different items (colors, etc.) for each subculture.
Only difference will be for the elite, and more specially their armor. The best would have been to difference "southern anglo-saxon" (all Saxons, Jutes), showing a good deal of frankish influence ; the "northern anglo-saxon" (Mercians, Lindsey, Northumbrians) more classic with more brittonic equipment, and the "eastern" ones, East Anglia only, with Scandinavian (Dena) equipment.
Tell me if this is possible, or if this alter too much the trees.

I also had some troubles to figure out the exact characteristics of the Beadu rinc and a few others. This is reflected by their armour class, and first/second weapons.

That's it.

To sum up a few points:
- quite generic categories instead of precise object names
- adapt garnments relaiting to wealth
- lower frequence of mail armor, helmets and swords
- I forgot to add cloaks over mail, over tunics, etc.

Now I'm done on this I'll look at current objects to see what needs reworking, what needs new name, what needs to be removed, and of course what is needed for new items, with a priority list.

I'll also have a look at settlements, titles and characters.

This is the copies of the messages I sent to Idibil to rework unit equipment, hence some "side notes" here and there.

BRITON TROOP TREE


Unit Names to be changed:
- Varchogyon to Marchoc (simpler, very common word to mean horseman in brittonic languages)
- Gosgordd to Cadwr (Gosgordd means 'army' while Cadwr means 'warrior').

I won't list every object, but object types instead... Like mail armor stands also for byrnie, lorica hamata, etc.

Note:
If you wish we can have another level of infantry here, the campgur or champion, with a tad better equipment (and then avoid swords, mail and big metal helmets for the cadwr).
The frankish helmet is your metal helmet, or spangenhelm. I guess you should restrict it to Britons, Jutes and Saxons, as it have a continental origin. Hence this better name.

- 2nd weapon: axe, swords
- throwing weapon: javelins (bag on horse)

- maybe more variation of medium size helmet, both flat and lenticular.

Note:
- ocrae are leg armor, known as "carbatinae with leg plates" or something like this... Which is weird, as you buy them for the leg armor, not the shoes!

- melee weapon: knife, sax, scian, axe, short spear, short sword
- throwing weapon: javelins (bag), slings

Bweidd
Bowman.

- 1st weapon: axe, scian, sax
- 2nd weapon: strongbow, longbow, crossbow
- no shield
- head: barehead, hoods, (most barehead), leather bowl helmet, leather helmets
- body: simple tunics, basic padded armor, leather jerkin
- legs: barelegs, shoes with barelegs, legwraps, gaiters.

Needed:
- gaiters
- scian.

Note:
The pictish crossbow should be renamed to crossbow. The crossbow nuts and the bolt heads known from the period were found at Buistan crannog, which was in Aeron, today Ayrshire, an area between Alt Cluit and Rheged, so it's likely Britons used crossbows aswell.

Generally speaking, I suggest to add more variety of tunics, shields, swords, legwraps and other pieces of equipment among one type of unit. I did not details cloaks. I think that excepts for levies, variations of tunics or armor with cloaks are excellent. You can also have cloaks wrapped around the torso as protection.


A few notes:
- fur armor can go in the same category than padded armor, to add more variety
- padded armors can perhaps get some more variation with cloaks or wrapped cloaks
- gauntlets can be used on all elite units (those with mail), but only made of leather
- of course when new objects will be ready and in I'll tell you which units can get those.

Most important is to remove the "Dena helmet".

Dena pirate
Mostly good.
For balance sake, maybe some with light armor or no helmets, less swords, more spear.
Angons are needed aswell.

An idea for Dena and Franks could be to have 3 levels, to avoid players getting crushed all the time by elite warriors. Tell me if it's possible.

WOMEN
Lot of specific clothes are needed.
Currently women, including in towns, have male clothes and ugly headgear which is... Weird.
Only in the two last levels they could get "male" clothing, and it should be fit to their corpses.
No helmets for them.

Changes need:


->Animals.brf

Horse saddlery and harness still need reworking. Saddle cloth can be changed, with period pattern or furs aswell.
See here otherwise:
http://s9.zetaboards.com/exilian/topic/7266158/1/#new



->Armadurasmedias

- coatofplate: change the forearm protection for all of those. It shall not be studded leather, simple leather is ok. No mail underneath, just fur
- nordiclightarmor: numbers 1, 10, 12, 3, 11, 5, 2, 7, 8, 9 needs to be reworked
See for those:
Noble tunics: lot of corrections needed. The body texture should be the same as the sleeves, with the pants having a different ones. Checkered patterns are not advised all the time, and they would need some tweaking. Brooch and belt could be corrected with period brooch (penannular) and buckles. The cloaks don't need either to be always checkered, but they can be decorated in different ways.
Noble tunics: remove those with a roman torso armor or studded leather armor.

->Armadurasmedias2

- ragged_leather_jerkin: change the forearm protection for all of those. It shall not be studded leather, simple leather is ok.
- kaftan: excellent stuff. Don't forget to name it "Warrior jacket" or "Riding coat" ingame.


->Armaduraspesadas1

- mail_coat 6 7 8: reskin them with better mail texture
- mail_shirt: 1 to 9: same
- hauberk (5-6): a tunic should appear underneath in the middle between the thighs
- raider_hauberk: same
- wolf_coat: same
- wolf pelt_mail_coat: same
- mail_shirt: remove all with designs (animals, etc) on mail
- BL_lamellar: for all see
Lamellar armor: tunics underneath needs long sleeves, not short ones. Some have a bicolor tunic: make it monocolor (like blue lamellar with green half).

- nobleman_outfzx and merchant_outfa, and generally scale armor: those two are good for Gaels and Picts, more variation needed in metal used, shape of the scale, cloth underneath, cloak, see:
Alternatives:
- bronze scales
- blued scales
- various tunic and pteruges colors
- cloak fastened by brooch on right shoulder over it.
See male clothing suggestions thread for more stuff about the lèine.
http://s9.zetaboards.com/exilian/topic/7264756/


->Botasycalzadoz

All greaves could easily get a bronze version.

In this category, gaiters are still needed.


->Capasycabeza1
Generally speaking for the cloaks, we could have more variation with:
- penannular broochs, which were the dominant type of brooch among Britons, Gaels and Picts by the 7th century, sometimes very decorated with enamel
- fur, different wool weave (like diamond), or simply one color of wool. Checkered clothing is nice but it is also a bit of cliché when picturing celts of any period
- tablet woven braid rims could be a variant, possibly with fringes.

See this for clothing introduction and ideas (most of you got a copy of it, otherwise register the forum or ask me or Idibil if you want a copy of it by PM):
http://s9.zetaboards.com/exilian/topic/7263992/
http://s9.zetaboards.com/exilian/topic/7264756


To Idibil, note those cloaks are great for Picts, Britons and Gaels nobles or elite warriors that would sometimes fight without helmets or armor at all.

->Capasycabeza2

- cloak: most need reskinning in my view, to get a better texture, except 7, 8, 17, 18, 21, 22
- priest3: I don't think it's very accurate. Ill post suggestions for monk and clerics clothing soon.
- BL_coat5, 7, 8: same comment than with the others in Capasycabeza1, tartan looks too modern, see also the comments to get variants.


->Coronas
Crowns like this are not accurate at all in 7th century Britain. Kingship would be displayed by neckrings, helmets like Sutton Hoo and other weapons/armor, clothing, brooch and other jewelry.
If you want crowns go for simple gold or silver rings.
Ill make suggestions for this soon.

->Desnudos
- picta
- celt_body
- war_paintos
- BL_body
Like I told you (Idibil) before, naked Picts are no longer accurate in the 7th century. This was something of the iron age and roman period. However you can keep most of those replacing those undercloth with short, knee-lenght, trousers.
I don't like the ones covered with blue paint. Hower those without anything, or those with pictish tatooes (especially in war_paintos) looks great.
So a lot of reworking needed I think.
Note those Pictish tatooes can be used to make new faces. That would be great.


->Escudos1
- scyld: the rim should be stitched, not nailed. More variants can be done using that model
- 2talokbuckler: shield boss should be reworked, shield boss rim should be really round. There are too many rivets currently, 4 to 6 bigger rivets would be enough
- buckler2: same than above, more variants would be great
- ckler: same than above
- talak_jomsviking: different texture is needed, no metal rim
- caledonian_shield: more variants needed for this one
- H_shield: more variant aswell
- tarcza_harfa: more variants, and rework the texture, currently its too bright
- shield_round: more variants could be good.
For suggestions about shields see here:
http://s9.zetaboards.com/exilian/topic/7266357/


->Escudos3
- celtic_shield: the celtic cross and interlaces are not accurate for 7th century, reskin it
- celtic_shield_small_round: the mesh is great, however the boss texture needs to be reworked (plain boss, with 4-6 rivets), the rim should not be metal
The decoration should be changed, currently it's only germanic knots, plain ones can be great, otherwise see suggestions (go for simple things like rings and dots, swirls, etc.)
- celtic_shield_small_roundLB: same
- shieldID: excellent if it is a small or medium one, maybe more variants


->Escudos4
- ad_vikingroundshield15: good idea but bad texture, making both flat and lenticular shield with metal fittings like on the Sutton Hoo shield would be great
- numbers 11, 24, 36: decoration looks too much viking, so reskinning is needed
- number 37 has weird colors
- numbers 25, 26, 27, 28: really excellent for the three celtic cultures.
- shield12: has celtic cross, reskinning needed
- shield7 and 9: bad texture IMO
- shield10 and 11: looks too much viking.

->Espadas1
Scabbard lacking for those:
- pattern spatha
- gaelic champion sword (and reworking pommel needed)


->Espadas2
Scabbard lacking for those:
- le_richsword1 and 2
- bamburg_sword
- BL_shsword

Remove (11th or later look):
- Nsword
- NS 2 3 4 8 9 10

->Espadas 3
Scabbard lacking for those:
- irish longsword
- irishsword
- bamburgsword and bamburgsword2
- saxonsword
- irishword2
- celtic 1 and 2
- sword 1 2 3 4
- le_pictishsword (note 7 looks quite saxon, and 2 could be a generic spatha for all cultures)
- all scians (one with a decorated ring-and-dots bone handle would be nice).

Remove:
- irishword (the one with antropomorphic bronze hilt taken from SoT)

->Goras1

- hood: needs reskinning with different color and better texture
- helm_captainA: change mail texture, this one is not that accurate (looks like butted galvanised larp rings!)


->Hachas
- irishaxefaradorn: remove
- taxe: remove or rework, head bridge should be narrow (just like the native hand axe)
- frankishaxe: tweak a bit the texture.
Otherwise more frankish axes would be good.

->Lanzasyhastas
Remove kontos.

->Material_face_gen
Pictish faces with tatooes (like those in desnudos.brf war_paintos) are really needed.
A male face with freckles (or several faces) with hair variants is really needed aswell, for the different ages. That way we can give king Domnall of Dal Riata his real face, his nickname beeing Brecc, the freckled!

freckled faces of men and women


->Meshes_face_gen
See suggestions for new hair:
http://s9.zetaboards.com/exilian/topic/7266364/

->Otros_items
- horn: this one is good for Anglo-saxons, other culture can get one without runes on the rim (perhaps a bronze rim and fitting)
- palka: those are good, is there only one handed or also two handed versions? Maybe one hand and half
- pick and pickaxe: don't forget to remove those...


->Seaxycuchillos
- huntingdagger: its a seax aswell A scabbard is needed.

->Tempered_mats and Tempered_mesh
Those tents shall be reskinned to off-white or brown.
Getelds saxon tents would be better however on the camp.
Ill post suggestions (in camps you can also get simple shelters made with local trees or cloth).



->Yelmos1
- rath_spangen_lord: simply raise a bit the front of it to see the eyes of characters (or rotate it slightly to the back)
- helmetx2: needs correction for the model as the cheekguards are currently wrongly positionned (just like if they were not tied). Variants with horsehair tail can be added
- celtycke_lebka: good one, but the variants with cheekguards, horsehair tail, or iron texture are still needed
- dux_ridge_gold: remove gemstones from cheeks and noseguard.
- horn_helmet: variants needed
- rathos_spang and briton_helmet: could get variants.


Before going further, refer to those threads:
- introduction about clothing: http://s9.zetaboards.com/exilian/topic/7263992/
- male clothing suggestions: http://s9.zetaboards.com/exilian/topic/7264756/
- female clothing suggestions: http://s9.zetaboards.com/exilian/topic/7264946/


->Tunicalarga
- gaelic_jacket: variants needed, see (hay en SoT 2 más)

- pict_long_tunic: retexture 1 and 4
- kent tunic, tunikwjac: excellent stuff! Variants needed however
- pictishdress and dress2: change color (a bit too much of blue), belt for the dress2?

->Tunicas4
- noblemanshirt: reskin all of them (gaelic and pictish aswell), no black tunic
- BL_NT: remove the black and white checkered rims on sleeves, this type of tunic is good for anglo-saxons. Also the bottom should not be hollow at the middle, if you see what I mean
In those ones, remove or reskin: red09/blue04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12/green 04 05/red 05 06 07 08.


Tunicas1
- BL_NT: remove the black and white checkered rims on sleeves, this type of tunic is good for anglo-saxons. Also the bottom should not be hollow at the middle
In those: edit blue08, 11_coat (modern looking tartan), red04, red12

->Tunicas2
- picttunic2, 3, 4: edit color (no pure white)
- braz, czermany, gairlom, purpura: edit them, currently cloak, sleeves, overgarnment and brooch are all of the same color! It was a very attempt of Kolba at texturing in SoT
- padded leather: remove or tweak the texture
- padded tunic: same
- armor 27 and 26: no bicolor half, more variants could be nice using that mesh.



->Tunicasypropavaria
- peasants
- shirt
Can and should get more variants! No red hood of course

[Brytenwalda installation and troubleshooting,]

Brytenwalda installation and troubleshooting,
Autor: Makute

Read before installing.

This guide is intended to help new players to properly install and configure Brytenwalda, as most of the crashes and freezes seems to be caused by a bad installation, and the reports of such crashes are scattered across many threads. Any suggestions are welcome, and the moderators are, of course, free to modify or amend it in any way. Please, read it twice before installing the mod.





--------------------------------

HOW TO INSTALL BRYTENWALDA:

Spoiler: click to toggle

1.


2.


3.



4. (Notice I choose to call it Brytenwalda1.2 because I have many versions and need to tell them apart   )


5.

Step 1.- Download the latest version (currently v1.31) from either M&B Repository (380 MB).

Mod for Warband 1.134
OFICIAL: Brytenwalda v 1.331  

Download Brytenwalda 1.331
http://www.mbrepository.com/file.php?id=2115


Step 2.- INSTALL IT

Import, writte your install rute: "mountblade warband\Modules".
Steam users should extract it in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\mountblade warband\Modules".
If you can't find the "Modules" folder use the Search function. If you already installed Brytenwalda and want to make a clean install, delete the old folder, DO NOT OVERWRITE IT.

Step 3.- DO NOT TWEAK OR MODIFY ANY FILE. I know that the drive cattle quests are a pain in the ass, but we are trying to make the mod work, so please don't touch anything, even with aplications like TweakM&B. You can make your own customizations when we make sure that everything is working properly.

Step 4.- Search for the rgl_config.txt file, located in "C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\Mount&Blade Warband" and modify the number in "render_buffer_size" to "256" if you have less than 2GB of RAM or "512" if you have more than 2GB. Do not modify anything else!

Step 5.- Make sure that Warband (and Steam if you're a Steam user) are whitelisted from the Windows firewall (or the one you actually use), and that your antivirus is not blocking them.

Step 6.- Double click on the "Warband" shortcut and change the Current Module from "Native" to "Brytenwalda". Click Configure and change the language to English in the game tab. This may not appeal some, but officially, Brytenwalda only supports english language. In the video tab, tick the Load Texture On Demand option. Now, press OK and Play M&B Warband.

Yes, we have not installed the awesome Polished Landscapes addon, not yet. It is alternative donwload that you can meet in: http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php/topic,135589.0.html
Use this version for Brytenwalda. We avise you, PL have problem with Warband 1.134.

Now the game is starting, you should see a loading bar at the bottom, and after that, the Play Tutorial, Start New Game, etc. options. If it is possible START A NEW GAME, DO NOT LOAD A PREVIOUS ONE.

Now you'll see a screen that reads "Wait three minutes". The game has not frozen (yet), it may take 3 real life minutes to load, just be patient. I know, I know... in three minutes you can crush dozens of bandits, but we must wait a while.

Now, you should be fighting your very first combat in Brytenwalda, so enjoy it and good luck!

Notes:
-If you see old names of kingdoms or towns, you need change your language for Brytenwalda, like us said in step 6

-If you are try find Salt Mine, its name is Salinae in Brytenwalda, it is latin.

-You will see jerking screen each day or week, it isnt a bug, Brytenwalda have 31 kingdoms and generate a lot of diplomacy information, we had "hidden" it to avoid saturation of unnecessary messages to player, but messages need happen internally.

-If you wish delete DUST in your game, you need go to Warband > options> video options
Off in particle system

-Fix Textures problem:  In Warband - Configure - Video enable "Load Textures on demand".  In module.ini  in Brytenwalda folder set  scan_module_texture = 1. (Thanks to Rad by this advise)



If the game freezes or crashes at some point, then you must search the rgl_log.txt file located in the Brytenwalda folder, and post its content in this thread (to keep the thread readability post it spoilered), and a detailed drescription of what and where were you doing: Besieging a castle, talking with someone, viewing a report...

Thank you all for reading this, and please, make good use of this thread keeping it on topic and posting only crashes or freezes related problems.
