Floris Mod Pack [v2.54] [Warband]

[monnikje]

Floris Mod Pack

Welcome to the Floris Mod Pack. This is a combination of a lot of good mods created by the community, bringing them all together and enhancing your gameplay experience.

Originally this pack started as a side project of my After Action Report (AAR) Me, Floris, but soon it had grown into a very full package in its own right. Due to all the different mods and features this pack has grown quite large in size, and asks a lot from your computer. To make Floris available to as many people as possible, we made several different versions:

• Basic: This is just Native gameplay with some added music, sounds and items. If want to play Native with a little extra, this version is the one for you!
  
• Gameplay: This version is a downgraded version of Expanded, allowing people with lower computer specifications to still experience Floris.
  
• Expanded: This version contains everything Floris has to offer.
  
• Dev Suite: If you're a modder yourself and you'd wish to fiddle with Floris, this is what you need: the source and all resources you'll need to build your own version(s).
  

Here are some general notes:

• Since Floris is quite large, it might strain slower pc's. If Expanded tends to run slow on your machine, you might try the Gameplay or Basic version.
  
• Because of this enormous size, the loading time of the mod is longer than you are used to. Have patience!
  
• The basic version is compatible with any native savegame. Gameplay and Expanded are NOT savegame compatible with Native or any older version of Floris.
  
• If you have any request for an additional mod to be added, just head to the Suggestion topic, and I'll see what I can arrange for the next version.
  
• If you discover a bug, you can report it in the bug topic.
  
• If you might help or if you run across problems, you should first read the FAQ. If no solution is provided over there, you can always ask at support.
  
• If you want to use this pack in your own mod, you'll have to ask the authors of each mod in this pack for their permission (check the respective topics!). For the stuff created by me: you can use it as long as you give credit. It would be nice to let me know you've used it.
  
• Always make a backup of your native files, so you can easily revert back if you want to.

Installation instructions:

Spoiler

First, make sure that you've uninstalled any previous versions of Floris before installing the new one.

After you've downloaded the installer from one of the mirrors, double click it. Please have patience while Windows starts the installer: since it is so large, it might take a minute to start. First you might get a warning (depending on your windows version): just click yes to continue.



After you've clicked yes, you get to choose the language you want to install the mod in. Currently there are four languages to choose from: English (default), French, German and Polish. I'll display screenshots of each language here.



After you selected your language, you get to the welcome screen of the installer, stating which version you're about to install. Click Next.



Here you see the license agreement. Don't worry, it won't bite. It just makes you aware of the FAQ. Accept and click Next.



Here you see a short description of the different version you can install. Once you read it, click Next.



Here you select the installation directory. Automatically your Warband's Module folder will be selected, but you can change it if you prefer to install the mod somewhere else. Make sure you select the Main Warband folder. If you have an older version installed, it might include \Modules\ in the path: just delete that extra addition. Once done, click Next.



A message pops up, saying that the main Warband folder already exists. Of course it does. Click Yes to install there.



Now you can select which version to install: The Basic version, Gameplay version or the Expanded version. The Dev Suite is only interesting for you if you want to work with the source and/or devellop your own version. There are also some extra options available. Don't worry if you want to change it later: an extra folder is created which includes these alternative choices, so you can later switch without the need to reinstall.



Once you selected the version)s) you'd like to install, you get an overview. Click Install to start the installation.



You wait a bit untill the installation is done.



You're done! Click Finish to close the installer.

Uninstall instructions:

Spoiler

If you want to uninstall the mod, you can of course just delete it from your Module folder. But the proper way is to use the uninstaller, which you can find in the Module folder. Double-click it. First you might get a warning (depending on your windows version): just click yes to continue.



After that you'll get a notification asking if you're sure you want to uninstall all Floris 2.54 versions (gameplay, Expanded, Basic, Dev Suite) you installed previously. This is in the language you installed the mod in. Click Yes.



You wait a bit untill the uninstallation is done.



You're done! Click Ok to close the uninstaller.

Sources

There are quite some mods, scripts and other sources used, sometimes partially, in the Floris Mod Packs. Here I list them all. I made some handy categories, but I didn't list mods 'double': if I used for example both items and skins from one mod, I listed it under one category.

There are mods that I have explicitly asked and gotten permission from, and there are Open Source Packs that can be used by everyone. To know the difference, I marked all OSP mods like this: [OSP]. You can use these OSP mods freely for non-commercial use, but still need to give credit and notify the creators. For the other mods you'll need permission form the creators.

In total 143 sources have been bundled together.

[edit]Because the list exceeds the maximum length allowed, I give you a link to the list on the TaleWorlds forum: click here

VERY impressive lists, will get it as soon as I get round to getting WB... funds, alas, are short. :-/

Welcome to Exilian, too.

I love this mod, how is 2.3 for stability though? I'm still on 2.1 atm.

[monnikje]

Thanks . I was invited to bring the mod over here too, so here I am.

2.3 is a lot more stable than 2.1: quite some bugs have been fixed since then. Not all, but we're working on it. As you can imagine, it's quite some work to get everything working together pretty well, and compared to earlier versions 2.3 is much more stable.

[Marcus]

Cool, I'll try it out soon. Thanks for your work.

[monnikje]

And version 2.4 is out . It adds a lot of new scripts and sounds to the pack.

[monnikje]

I'd like to point out that version 2.5 has been released, which has quite some major changes. Have fun!

[Phoenixguard09]

Thank you Monnikje.
