How To Report A Bug With This Mod
Please use the bug report tool and do not comment in the post section. It'll help to keep things organized.
The Long Version:
Infinite Food Fix
As reported here
AI Parties will take on way too much grain and fish after looting enemy parties and they become overburdened to the point that their speed is reduced to the absolute minimum. Obviously this kills gameplay as victorious parties are reduced to a crawl while fresh parties are unaffected. The fix discards excess food immediately after loot is transferred to an AI party to the point that the party is no longer overburdened. For parties that have already become overburdened, the fix discards the excess food they carry as well, so it should correct saved games. If an AI party is overburdened for some reason other than food, it won't be affected. Two other mods already fix the problem if this one doesn't do it for you :) : Slow Armies Fix and You really gonna eat all of that (Parties sell food)
Bugged Recruiting Fix
AI parties will sometimes become stuck recruiting from the same settlement (mostly villages from what I've seen) even though there aren't any troops there for them to recruit. This is because the native find-a-settlement-to-recruit-from logic doesn't take into account the relation between the AI party and the notables. The fix makes AI consider relation with the notables when considering traveling to a settlement to recruit so that the probability of them doing so is lowered.
Stuck Caravan Fix
Caravans will sometimes become stuck, unable to find a town to trade with. This is because there is a list of settlements which keeps track of the towns that the caravan can't travel to and sometimes this list grows to include all possible towns the caravan can trade with. So the caravan bugs out and won't move unless chased. The problem is fixed by clearing the list when it grows to this size.
Bad Formation Logics
Bad Deploy Formation Logic Fix
When deploying units some formations will have incorrect spacing for their unit type (on foot or cavalry). Basically when a formation is over a certain proportion of cavalry, it will start to space all units in it as if they were cavalry. This is fine, except that the logic that initializes this flag counts all units of all previously initialized formations as well. So if you have an infantry formation for formation 5, but a cavalry formation for formation 3, then formation 5 has a good chance of being made to use cavalry spacing instead of infantry and this error carries forward after deployment is over. The fix resets the spacing to be correct at the start of deployment.
Bad Infantry Formation Logic Fix
When the the captain of an infantry formation is mounted, the projected formation placement is wrong. Basically the same as previous problem with the formation projection being flagged as being a cavalry formation when it shouldn't. This is fixed by setting an 'is mounted' flag that marks the formation as being cavalry before the projection is made. I needed to Harmony patch in order to do this, so starting on 1.0.3 Harmony will be a requirement.
Formations Change File (Width) Fix
As reported here
When changing formations, the file (width) of the previous formation is not always considered when making the new one. I've mostly seen this happen when switching from loose formation to shield wall. This can be quite annoying when you want to make a formation keep the same number of ranks between formations. The fix makes it so that, say, if your loose formation has 5 rows, then when you that formation to shield wall, it too will have 5 rows. Changing formations now feels more like how it does in the Total War games (imo).
Annoying Resize of Loose Formation (and Maybe Oher Formations) When Units Start Dying Fix
As reported here
When a loose formation (and maybe others too) takes enough casualties, the formation will resize to a much smaller width than expected. This causes the units to run to their new position while still getting killed by enemies, which sucks. Also it has been reported that the formation then becomes stuck, unable to take a new formation. The fix makes it so that the formation keeps its width for as long as possible, basically until there aren't enough troops to fill out a single row.
Inconvenient Formation Logics
At leas they're bugs to me
Units Don't Run When Getting Into Formations With Raised Shields
When units are getting into a formation with raised shields, they will walk, allowing enemy archers to have a longer time to shoot them. The fix makes a unit run until it is in position.
Units Move With Raised Shields When Getting Into Formations With Raised Shields
When units are getting into a formation with raised shields, then will move to position with their shields raised, thus slowing them down. The fix makes a unit wait to raise its shield until it is in position.
Lower Limit On Formation File (Width)
For line formations there is a lower limit on the file (width). This makes it impossible to make a line formation that stretches back very far. Maybe I'm the only one who considers this a problem, but it's annoying that I cant make the formation the dimensions I want so here's the fix.
No Gold For Selling Lord With The Tavern's "Sell all prisoners" Option Fix
As reported here
When a lord is sold along with all other prisoners from the Tavern's "Sell all prisoners" option, no gold is received for the lord. The fix makes it so the player gets the lord's ransom value when the lord is sold this way.
Family Feud Quest Bug Fix
As reported here
When the player falls unconscious for any reason while the family feud quest is active, the player will fail the quest. This is because the quest always checks the end of every mission to see if the player is still active. If he is not, then fail. The fix makes the quest logic check that the player is in the mission settlement before considering whether he has been knocked out.
Bouncing Troops List Bug Fix
As reported here
When doing things like upgrading or even just selecting troops in the troops list on the party screen, the list will sometimes bounce around to an unexpected place in the list. This is because the position scroll bar is adjusted incorrectly when the dropdown for the troop is opening or closing. The fix prevents this from happening by disabling the scrollbar being repositioned for this and other similar lists. From my testing I haven't seen any problems caused by messing with this part of the code, but if you see other lists behaving weirdly, let me know.
If there are any other bugs you know of (or if my "fixes" have caused even more problems), let me know by leaving a comment and I'll see about fixing them.
