FAQ

This page includes answers from developers to some frequently asked questions.

Question: I'm getting the "unable to open file: commonres/ccoop_extra_ui_textures.brf" error while trying to launch the mod, what is the problem?

Answer: It means you're using an older version of Mount&Blade: Warband, LOTD doesn't support older versions than 1.171. Download the latest version from taleworlds website, downloads section.

Q: Why is the installation file so small compared to other mods?

A: I didn't add the OSP items as I found them. Most of them were modified and their polygon numbers decreased to match the overall graphical quality of the base game. So if graphics are a big deal for you, LOTD might not be the mod you're looking for.

Q: I can't find any option to find raise undead even when I max the necromancy skill. What am I doing wrong?

A: You need a grimoire to access your necromancy menu.

Q: I can't find advanced levels of some spells. Where to get them?

A: Some trainers have only basic levels of the spells in their repertoire. Just look around, I tested it and double checked it. All spell levels are there.

Q: Some magic trainers don't have any spells available. Why?

A: They do. You need a spellbook to be able to buy arcane spells, grimoire to buy shadow spells, holy book to buy holy spells.

Q: I'm stuck at a stage of the epic quest. I guess it's bugged?

A: Tested it many times, it's working. You're probably doing something wrong. Tip (contains spoilers): loot the chest after slaying the dragon.

Q: I can't find the supposedly existent Dark Elf chest in Mistwood. Does it actually exist?

A: Keep looking. Tested it recently, it's accessible. If you're still struggling, launch the game with edit mode on, press "CTRL+E" in Mistwood and you wil see the path.

Q: How to become a vampire, fiendling or werewolf?

A: Vampires and fiendlings are textures for human race (there is a 16 skin/race limitation in Mount&Blade engine and LOTD is using all of them already). So create a human, go through skins and you'll see them. For werewolf, visit Werewolf Lair in Yarasian territory. However, they don't have any specific mechanics, just cosmetic.

Q: Corpses of races using ogre, orc and half-orc skins look weird and stretched. Why is that?

A: That is a common problem with many other mods that has races with their scales are increased. Sadly, I couldn't fix that, until I do, I recommend playing LOTD with ragdolls off.

Q: Do you plan to add diplomacy?

A: No. Although I added some features from diplomacy, I'm not planning to merge LOTD with the entirety of diplomacy. Almost all features I added to LOTD, I can comprehend how they work, so if they cause any problems I could fix it. However as I'm pretty much a newbie at module development, I can't do that with an entire mod with very complex mechanics. Also, I like the simplicity of the base game.

Q: Are you planning to release the module system?

A: Yes, eventually I will release the module system.

Q: I'm a Mac/Linux user and the game crashes when I'm trying to start a new game. How to fix it?

A: You're using an older version of Legacy of the Dragon. Update it to the latest.
