[RW-1.0.2059] Medieval Times (v. 1.974.B-19 (Updated-10/22/2018))

[Vindar]

I've been having loads of fun playing this coupled with another mod that adds no guns to other factions.

The only trouble I have is I feel like I'm cheating even contemplating adding electric ovens and a freezer 

It just needs the ability to build a moat, build a portcullis, hang prisoners outside the front of my castle to ward off raiders and maybe a black knight that will not die.

I've been watching the series on youtube

as far as refrigerating food goes, next patch for medieval times will have ice as a resource and an icebox that uses ice to cool down a room.

[Vindar]

- Added new Security item "Murder Hole"

I don't know what it is but from the way it sounds I already love it!

I think there might be an issue considering that when I started up a world with this mod, everything, and I mean everything was crafted out of Ice Blocks. When I mined rock it dropped 2 ice blocks, when I tried to make a wooden bed, it needed ice blocks. My colonists must be freezing.

noted, ill look into it.

just a preamble, You might have gotten a corrupted download or are having a weird mod conflict.

I'd advise re-downloading just on principal.

also, can you tell me which mods your using currently?

[Ptolisgoodguy]

The mods I am using are as follows:

Core

The only thing changed in these were a few commonality tweaks and a false to true change.

[Vindar]

Updated to: (v. 1.26.A15b)
- Fixed Icebox Bug, Icebox will no longer provide cooling effect without Ice Blocks fueling it.

@ Ptolisgoodguy
wasen't able to reproduce your specific bug, by the looks of it your currently having a major mod conflict.

the ice-blocks are set up to be their own specific resource and not be used by things like beds and such. Ice Blocks fall under the category
      <categories>
        <li>MedievalTimes_Ice</li>      
      </categories>
If during your editing you changed this category to <li>stony</li> or something that could cause what your describing.

that or some catch-all added this category to the biome generation.

honestly their isn't much i can do about this. you could try deleting the category all-together and see if that helps

@ Vindar

I'll start by going through my Core files and most likely create a backup of what I have now and then re-download the original Core files and see if the bug is still there. If it isn't then I know it's something of my own doing and I'll just have to be careful of what I edit in regards to conflicts. IF the bug remains then I'll go through all my mods and see if I can find what's causing the issue.

Thanks for the help anyway and I'll let you know what happens to see if a note on compatibility is required.

EDIT: It was something to do with the core files I edited so it's nothing on your part to worry about. Thanks for the help none-the-less.

Updated to (v. 1.27.A15b)
- Added new weapon "Warhammer"
- various stat tweaks / changes
- added Tech-Tree inclusion (Non-nessiary)

[Trigon]

What's this tech tree inclusion of which you speak?

[Vindar]

What's this tech tree inclusion of which you speak?

re-named smithing to "Modern smithing" and made advanced smithing a pre-requisite, than made electricity require modern smithing (cause circuits need pure metals yo).

thats pretty much it, it's not nessisary just makes the medieval stuff feel more like an era that comes before electricty. works great if you start with the tribal scenario (thats what im "playtesting" currently).

since the tech changes are a core file it could cause conflicts with mods that "require" core changes and are loaded before it, however, it's always recommended that you load medieval times at the top of the list, that way any mods that need to change core files can do so without interference from this mod. if you loose the tweak i made in the core file it's no big deal and doesn't hurt the mod at all.

any of the core files that are changed in this mod are optional, meaning if you delete them from the mod folder it wont break medieval times. all of it is just balence/convience changes.

some of it's kinda cool though, like the different graphic for teeshirts and the pants graphic.

helloo

i can't download it from nexusmods because i need to create an account. but i don't want to create an account

can you upload your mod on dropbox or something like that? would be very awesome

[SmartCheetah]

If you'd like some kind of help to work on the total conversion mod, count me in. I might create some sprites, work on simple files and stuff like that. Always wanted a sim game like that set in medieval world (or some kind of low fantasy setting)

You can see some simple sprites I've already done in this thread:
https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=5422.msg238067#msg238067
I know they aren't really medieval - but just a proof that I've got some experience in creating those.

so I've already post how much I love this mod, and I still do, but I kind of feel the last update or so was maybe a misstep. I agree the research needed some added complexity, but I think you went maybe a little far, and now I feel like I'm getting nickeled and dimed on researched projects. I don't see the need for the ice wall stuff but I think it's cool that you're trying new things, and I'm happy that you're still developing this (this should be the main takeaway of this post) and as long as you have a vision for the mod I'm content to enjoy the ride.
Also: any chance of revisiting the fence model at some point? How to put this: you've set a rather high standard visually with the mod, and I think that one comes up short.
Please don't take all this the wrong way; I just think you're entitled to feedback, both pro/con.
Cheers!
