BEFORE WE START: You NEED to have legit copy of the game "Mount & Blade: Warband" (you can buy it on steam), because PIRATED version will NOT work. Do not buy also from websites which sell only cd-key without download because they sell same cd-key over and over again.
"HOW DO I INSTALL??"
Download launcher from here:
http://c-rpg.net/cRPGLauncher.exe (Right click the link and click on Save As or Save Link As)
and save it to Warband folder. After this run the launcher and cRPG will automatically download.
From this point on, use ONLY launcher to run crpg. (A desktop shortcut will automatically be placed upon installation)
NEXT STEP: ACCOUNT CREATION Note: Read red text only if you only need password recovery
1. Launch cRPG using the LAUNCHER and create a new profile in the game with desired name
2. Join a server and REMEMBER your 4 digit code that you will see on the screen (for example 5920). If you miss the code, press key L and scroll up until you see it.
If you do not recieve code, press Q M P S while on server (q is default Quest key) (REMEMBER your 4 digit code (and/or password) that you will see on the screen (for example 5920). If you miss the code, press key L and scroll up until you see it.)
3. Quit game and go to http://c-rpg.net/ to login with GAME PROFILE name and type in the code as password.
4. Go to http://forum.c-rpg.net/index.php/topic,9160.0.html and choose a build(your class) (write it down, print it out)
..4a. On the c-rpg.net you can assign your points as you level up. Follow your build and you should be able to fight back other players very soon
F.A.Q / COMMON PROBLEMS
IF YOU CAN'T SPAWN IN GAME
cRPG is a little bit different to native Warband when it comes to spawning. You have to check "Ready to spawn" button in equipment menu or you wont spawn.
IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS JOINING SERVER DO THIS:
1. Go to start menu bar or my computer and search for folders and files * rgl_config.txt * and only 1 should come up, if there are more then delete the rest.
2. Open rgl_config.txt and scroll down to "use secure connection = 1"
3. Set it to "use secure connection = 0" and save and close
4. Start your game
"HELP!! I AM LOSING GOLD BY REPAIRS EVERY ROUND!"
5. Start playing the game, rules are simple:
.. a) You get 1000 experience points(xp) and 50 gold per MINUTE
.. b) You start with 1x(multiplicator aka multi) and you can have up to x5(5000xp and 250 gold per minute) by winning rounds . If your team loses, you are back to x1.
.. c) For every item you wear, you have to pay repairs:
- Using item gives you 4% chance of repairs every minute
- Repairs cost 7% of item buying price (Go to c-rpg.net Shop and click on item picture to see repairs cost aka upkeep)
- Items are bought on c-rpg.net "Shop"
- With this said, watch what you buy because the plate armor can cost up to 2200 gold just to repair, and plated horse can be even 5000 gold
.. d) IMPORTANT: Going to empty servers and trying to earn gold without doing anything can get you banned permanently.
..e) NEVER NEVER team kill or team attack on purpose. If someone is doing it to you, press ctrl+insert key to make screenshots, than go to "Ban request" part of forum and post them with explanation.
"I AM LEVEL 31. WHAT NOW?"
Once you reach level 31 you are given option to retire. This means that all your character stats will be reset to 0, but you will recieve a "loom point" which you can use to improve stats of your items. All items can be improved 3 times maximum. You do not have to retire, but there are some benefits.
Retirement will also give you xp bonus. After retiring into generation 2, you will be recieving 1030xp per minute on x1. Maximum possible xp gain is reached on generation 16(after retiring 15 times) and it is 1450xp per minute on x1, or 7250xp per minute on x5.
THE END
