Doesn't this mod also require MCMv5 to function? This mod is working pretty well with the exception of some images being broken every now and then.

That's one of the essentials. I only said two as an example.

Then I have no clue. I have a good amount of different events happening and they have different variations. I have the base mod, events and holiday events in my game and it's running fine. I am on 1.3.10.103977 (one update behind the latest hotfix) due to seeing people having problems right after downloading the latest hotfix.

[Damoriva]

Ended up doing some more experimenting. Turns out that despite deleting the old Captivity mod folders, the settings are obviously saved elsewhere (don't know where, still kinda new to Bannerlord modding) and I had disabled non-sexual events. Now the random bandits give events instead of taking me straight to the hideout, but nothing sexual still. Then I tried picking a fight with some villagers to get captured, and got a sexual event when they got back to their village. Some more messing about got a few sexual events to fire at a hideout and in a town, but while being moved around the map it feels there are no sexual events at all.

 

Re-adding the other mods like BB and UTR did almost nothing, presumably because they need updating. Is it possible to get them to behave by simply going into a file and updating the version number or something?

If you are using a windows pc with onedrive the game will save information such as saves, settings and mod configs to C:\Users\(username)\OneDrive\Documents\Mount and Blade II Bannerlord. I don't know where it saves if you don't have onedrive, but probably in C:\Users\(username)\AppData\Local\Mount and Blade II Bannerlord. The appdata folder is hidden so you have to enable showing hidden folders in windows explorer.

wrong file path

Just found a bug where a baby isn't saved if it has the surname of the father meaning that loading the game at any point will delete them. Changing the name doesn't stop it from happening and the only way to avoid this is to reload your birth until you get a baby with no surname. I am playing with a female character so not sure if this also happens as a male.

[that hurts]

Oh wait, they just get moved to the father's clan/family if they are male. This makes no sense if you give birth to a companions child because they don't have a clan or if you give birth far away from them because then they just teleport for no reason.

Escaping captivity crashes my game. Anyone with the same problem?

Well it was probably due to minus reputation.

[Avariel347]

Ok so I'm seeing the arena fighter part has been removed. Is it completely taken out or just added to the main file? 

[MrOdd535]

Also getting very little variety in events as captor, checked mod settings and everything seems to be enabled, just getting the same few mostly flavor events from default and nothing from extensions, and dialogue with prisoners seems like vanilla CE

When I enable Hot Butter's "Hot Butter Scenes for Captivity Events" file, my character can no longer select a face without face paint or scarring, my parents in character creation have face paint, and so do many of the NPCs when I enter the town. It's all the same two patterns or so of face paint, too.

This is on a fresh install. Anybody have a solution for this?

Edit: Seems dragging that file as high up in the load order as I can has corrected it.

I just tried turning off all mods but the essentials like ButterLib and Harmony, and Captivity Events + Default Captivity Events. Started a new game with a female MC. In each type of scenario (working at brothel, waiting in town, waiting in the wild etc) I'm basically only getting a single event firing for each (respectively: pleasure him like a good whore, the hypnosis chain, and the one to challenge a soldier to a naked brawl or have fun).

 

I even tried getting captured by enemies, all that happened was they immediately took me to a hideout and then just leave me alone except for occasional food and escape attempts. No sex events at all.

I've seen in the mod options that there's apparently a kidnapping attempt event at the tavern but I have yet to see that one happen. And there seems to be plenty of events for when you're captive, but none of them are firing.

they immediately took me to a hideout - you cannot be taken to a hideout when captured by Bandits without having Bandit Events on which is causes this issue.

Not ready for this release, I don't want people using the old version then complaining that it doesn't work, similar to bandit events.

Fair enough. Bannerlord just isn't Bannerlord for me without your addition. ^.^ I look forward to the future version. 

[fubalnut]

None of the events seem to take my skills into account unless a medicine or mariner skill of 250 is "too low"

[OdysseyAura]

So this is a question for anyone and everyone. Captivity is allowing for captured nobles to swear loyalty to you and serve under your banner. What it doesn't do is move them into your clan as a follower like before. Then after a day or so they return to their clan leaving your ranks. Is this something the game did to prevent reclassifying characters? 

 

btw I just manually switch them to my clan (which makes them family) 

 

Just curious if anyone else has noticed this and if the issue can or will be addressed in the future. 

[Serebars]

On nexus mod called "Concubines" give a new role for clanmember. That's remowe them from events and except originaly wife's ivents of game. What's needed to be changed in events file to replace "companions" and "spouse" events for "concubine" and make them start events again. 

P.S. Sry for bad eng)))

  I'm seeing that too, but looking in the xml I'm suspecting the LocationLand or LocationSea? might be required in the MultListOfFlags entry since this update officially supports the naval DLC.  I'm testing that now.

 

Edit..

  Hmm... no that doesn't seem to be t he problem.

nevermind...  I downloaded a new hot butter, but the events haven't been updated to match the new xsd  (Mostly the skill/trait requirement switch).

I looked into it more and I think it's basically just that I'd forgotten how few events there are actually in CE default for captors, especially male captors, without the BC extension, which doesn't work on the current version.

Having said that, I have noticed that the CE default event of a captive asking you for bread or something like that has never fired for me, even after massively increasing the custom probability in MCM, or the event where they want to join your clan (think it's called male_female2 and 3 something like that) - I'm not sure if there are some other specific requirements for those events but I've never seen them since War Sails. The only captor events I get are the random ones about unnamed captives (fighting or being sick etc.), and a few times had the events for a named captive where the clan offers a ransom, or the one where a captive offers to give information or something like that (not sure what information it's supposed to give though, assuming it's just flavor).

I'd never used CE as a female captive before but tested it on a new run with other mods disabled just to see if it was working, and got essentially no sexual events there either, so I'm still kinda confused. Mostly just waiting for an update on BC now I think.

I do really like all the default events, it's nice to have them fire when traveling would otherwise be very boring, and it's great to have some already made as naval-specific for War Sails, but they do get a bit repetitive on their own, and I kinda wish the events had more impact than just giving some gold or improving morale. Like I was surprised about the event where you're in a storm and if you don't have good enough naval-abilities you have to let a prisoner guide you or else take a morale hit (and maybe extra storm damage?) - I thought okay fine, I'll let the prisoner guide me one time, but then I noticed it doesn't have any negative consequences at all unless I'm missing something, so there's no reason not to pick it every time? Maybe I should just read the guide and have a go at writing some events - I think the whole CE framework is amazing and has so much potential, just wish it had more events variety, both SFW and NSFW

[DadDbdDcdDdDdDd]

  There are definitely some events with effects like skill gain, or trait gain/loss, along with gold gain/loss and morale gain/loss.  Or gaining recruits or prisoners...  mostly the results are pretty fixed though.  I agree that some variability in results would be nice, but it's hard to prioritize that kind of thing.

 

   I think I'm going to make an xslt transform to strip the removed flags, and convert skill/trait requirements/gains to the new format.  It should be pretty simple, then I can just run it on the old event xmls.

 

[Nekracyst]

 

I just keep getting to this stage. I have the newest verisons of harmony, butter, and the usual suspects. Load order is fine, files are fine and named fine. But then this happens and the mod doesn't load, I don't quite understand. No DLLs are blocked, and I'm just stumped for what the problem could be.

Update: Anytime I close the game I always get the following error as well:




Here is the log file where things go wrong.

   Well, here's a first pass at a fixup transform to convert the older event xml files.

Why not just paste the entire log file here? Anyways you have a mod that is using an old version of harmony or you have an old version of harmony installed somewhere on the system that wasn't removed properly.

[OdysseyAura]

and in typical Tales world fashion the newest war sails 1.1.1 and bannerlord 1.3.13 update ruins everything.
