You got teamkilled once whilst playing rageball. And you expect a 24 hour ban. 
I hate to ruin your expectations, but i disagree.

This player has no previous bans and a gen 1 level 29 character. I'll make it a 1 hour ban.

If this person keeps team attacking, the next ban will be longer.

This is not a debate, Gardarika.

You attempted to kick an admin off the wall. You are very lucky he didn't ban you for intentional teamkilling. And no, you do not need to actually succeed in your griefing to be banned for it.

Beginner's Help and Guides / Re: Weapon master

« on: June 08, 2012, 04:04:46 pm »

It's over a year old, but i don't think the WPF system has been changed since then. Has it?

(click to show/hide)

I have conducted some testing on the effects of weapon proficiency and agility on weapon attack speed. The basic test was conducted by recording the number of two-handed polearm thrusts that could be executed within 60 seconds. I preformed the tests with a number of polearms of different weapon speed and with different polearm proficiencies. All of the reported values were taken from the averages of 3 individual time trials conducted at each condition. The following plot shows the time per thrust verses polearm proficiency. I have also noted the agility that the testing character possessed at the time of the trial.

The most obvious feature of this data is the linear relationship between  time per attack and proficiency. The slope of each weapon line gives the reduction in time per attack per point of proficiency while the y-axis intercept of each weapon line gives the time per attack with 1 proficiency (technically 0 proficiency but the difference is inconsequential given the small slopes.) The time per attack at 1 proficiency has a linear relationship with weapon speed as seen in the following figure:

The slopes of each weapon line are such that 100 proficiency results in a ~6.5% reduction in time per attack relative to the 1 proficiency time per attack. Therefore, weapon proficiency has a greater absolute reduction in the time per attack for slower weapons than for faster weapons. Additionally, these results show that agility has no observable impact on the time per attack for a weapon as there is not a significant change in the slope of time per attack verses proficiency between the different agility test conditions.

To put this in perspective, a level 30 character with 3 agility, no weapon master, and 110 polearm proficiency would attack ~5% slower than a level 30 character with 27 agility, 9 weapon master, and 180 polearm proficiency if both characters were to use a speed 94 polearm. The absolute difference in time per attack between these two characters would be ~0.06 seconds. This is significantly less than the 12% difference in attack speed one would expect if agility was providing the purported 0.5% reduction in attack speed per point and the difference of 70 proficiency was ignored.

Another interesting result was that all of the polearm attack animations (thrust, overhand, and slashes) take the same amount of time to execute completely. However, this does not necessarily mean that the time between releasing an attack and landing an effective hit is the same for all of the polearm attack animations.

It's this thread http://forum.c-rpg.net/index.php/topic,2531.msg42737.html

Anyways, he says:  To put this in perspective, a level 30 character with 3 agility, no weapon master, and 110 polearm proficiency would attack ~5% slower than a level 30 character with 27 agility, 9 weapon master, and 180 polearm proficiency if both characters were to use a speed 94 polearm

So from 110 to 180 -> a 70 WPF difference causes about a 5% difference in swing speeds. That would be 14 points of WPF for every 1 % of swing speed.

From this, i'm guessing for a 100 speed weapon, the difference between ~130 WPF and ~153 WPF  (WM3 or WM6) is probably close to 1%. Yet that might just make the 0.10 second difference you need to spam someone.

I really don't know, never did any real research and most of my guestimations are based on feeling and are therefore highly unreliable. I cannot rule out that is a placebo effect and purely psychological.

I seem to notice a distinct difference between say ~130 wpf and the ~145 wpf i use on most of my builds. There is less of a difference between ~145 and ~154 though. Could be placebo, who knows.

As someone who uses spamming a lot, i tend to max out WM to ensure i have maximal spamming potential.

Footwork is key, ofcourse. But so is swing speed. Every time i'd fail at spamming someone, i'd be thinking it was the lower weapon mastery.

Yay, i got mentioned!   

I'd like to mention all those guys who support tactical team play on EU1. Juhanius and all those other guys who participate in getting the huge group of random players to focus on a common goal and keep those x5 streaks going as long as we can.

At this point, i wish i wrote down a few more names, because my memory for names is horrible. Ah well, you know who i mean.

I've always maxed out PS on my archer builds. So yeah, i totally agree.

Never understood why people can be content with a build that doesn't allow you to fight back when cornered or out of ammo.

I think there should be a feature that you 'lose your voice' if you yell too many times... especially at the start of the round.

Wouldn't it be funny if your yells suddenly became all squeaky and soft whisper like? Oops, too much yelling, ruined my voice again...

One bad poll usually isn't enough grounds to have someone banned, Saatana.

If he keeps doing it, just screenshot and post those.

Redownload the launcher. You need the most recent version of the launcher. It gets updated from time to time.

Beginner's Help and Guides / Low framerate help thread *work in progress*

« on: June 05, 2012, 12:03:22 pm »

Disclaimer: i haven't tested the texture packs or directx 7 myself. Use at your own risk. 

1) enable 'show framerate' in the warband launcher
2) ingame, set detail to medium

If you're still getting unplayable framerates (for me, anything below 40 fps feels 'unplayable'):
3) set detail to low instead (make sure character shadows are off and corpses are set to 0)

If that doesn't help enough:
4) use the low res texture pack: http://forum.c-rpg.net/index.php/topic,5335.0.html (hasn't been updated with many of the new textures, but will still help framerate a bit probably)
And maybe:
5) cRPG-optimization: http://forum.c-rpg.net/index.php/topic,6967.msg108140.html#msg108140 (Do not use. Already added to cRPG, also: might break it.")

And if that still doesn't help enough:
6) Use scarymod: http://forum.c-rpg.net/index.php?topic=6968.0(Not compatible)

And ofcourse you can:
7) switch to directx 7 in the warband launcher

That is what i could find just now with a few searches. Did i cover all the possible tweaks? Anyone actually used all these together?

Had a lot of fun last night. More than 200 players on one server is crazy i tell you. Crazy! 

The large battles were very epic.  Did turn down detail to low to have a better framerate. This makes me want to buy a new pc next month (was already planning on it though).

It sucks for those that have wooden pc's though. A few people have framerates in the 20's or even lower with that many players. Perhaps a few more people will be switching to directx 7 and using the low res textures.

How to run steam as administrator:

How to add the cRPGlauncher as a non-steam game:

    Launch Steam.
    Click the Games menu, choose Add a Non-Steam Game to My Library.
    Browse for games on your computer or put a check next to the game(s) you wish to add to the Library.
    Click Add Selected Programs

You can also rename the 'cRPGlauncher.exe' in your Steam library once you've added it: Right click, select "Properties" and type a new name in the name field. I called it "Mount & Blade: Warband cRPG".
