MBX

Game crashing seconds after loading (or when engaging party/entering town). Day 255, save uploaded to http://speedy.sh/FY2Yc/sg02.sav

Thank you.
I have 4 different saves now, all of them sharing the same crash features:
1. Game crashes exactly at 00 minutes timeline.
2. Game also crashes when you try enter a settlement.
3. Triggers and simple triggers do not play a part, as I switched off all of them and still got a crash.
4. Battles do not play a part, as I have a save with no battles going and still a crash.

I'll continue looking into this

SUBMODS:

Bladnir's TLD rebalanced (more up to date than RCM):
http://mbx.streetofeyes.com/index.php/topic,3250.0.html

Combat Damage Model (RCM) - famous submod, designed to model combat more realistically in M&B. This is its version for TLD.
http://mbx.streetofeyes.com/index.php/topic,2492.300.html - forum thread for RCM.
http://www.wupload.com/file/2662242227/RCM_TLD31.rar - the link to current up-to-date RCM version.
http://www.wupload.com/file/2662953992/item_kinds1.txt - you should overwrite the item_kinds1.txt in that version with this file. There were a couple new weapons and armors added and GA forgot to update their values. This file updates them.
http://www.wupload.com/file/2666930792/troops.txt - an optional troop file. It corrects some mistakes and inconsistencies (like 0 Horse Archery skill for some horse archers) and buffs Dale and Rhun a bit.

Companion recruitment with resource points instead of influence mini-mod - this submod changes companion recruitment to be priced in resource points instead of influence. Influence prices are very steep in current TLD version and companions are hard to recruit.
http://mbx.streetofeyes.com/index.php/topic,2675.0.html - forum thread.
http://filesmelt.com/dl/recruitment_mod.rar - the link to current up-to-date version of the submod.

Female armor meshes for TLD - this submod adds female meshes for most armors present in TLD.
http://mbx.streetofeyes.com/index.php/topic,2489.0.html - forum thread.
http://www.mediafire.com/file/w2t2312m12wul0o/Resource.7z - for 3.0 only.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/x2xlfaebov9qvil/TLD_Female_armors.7z - current up-to-date download link.

Control your forces by voice - a script that allows the player to control his forces by voice commands.
http://mbx.streetofeyes.com/index.php/topic,2641.0.html - forum thread with description, script text and links to necessary software.

Grothag's rebalancing of equipment and troop stats - this submod is based on RCM equipment stats, but introduces some changes to them and to the troops.
http://mbx.streetofeyes.com/index.php/topic,2708.0.html - detailed description and discussion.

Before patching 3.1 I didn't have any problems but after applying the hotfix 2 Im consistently getting CTD after saving around day 20. I suspect it has something to do with the script and music changes you guys made to the hotfix.

Do those work for you? Should be compartible with whatever post-3.1 build ->

Here are a couple of test hotfixes to try and see if the music is to blame for the crashes:
1. A test hotfix that removes about 90 Megs (out of the total 250 Megs) of music. The removed tracks are mostly additional travel tracks that are very likely to be loaded when you travel around.

2. A test hotfix that removes all music (not the music files, but the references to the tracks, so the files are safe). A last ditch attempt to see if that helps with crashes. If this doesn't help, the music is not to blame.
http://www.gamefront.com/files/21268422/TLD_3.1_test_hotfix_no_music.7z

Try these only if you have serious crash problems. First try the first one and see if it works for you - if it doesn't try the second one.

Play with Woodmen/Beornings. Preferrably by using mostly their own troops

Hiring requirements will be revised in the next patch.
Current influence costs are indeed too steep for most of companions (should be left for selected few, others should use resource points)

Writing an excel macro to automatically import the items and convert numeric flags to readable text would have been easier. Just saying .

Anyone up for it? I've discussed via pm about extracting using a program before but I'm unable to do it.

MV, I really don't see the need. I have an xls that outputs py, it needs minor stat updating and thats it.
For any txt needs there are loads of item editors available

Ideally though, I would definitely prefer to have the wargs to wander off and disappear like horses do maybe a couple of minutes after the rider gets killed.

This is the current plan, indeed.
