Mac Version of Mount and Blade Warband!

[Strudog]

Hello all,

Juat recently a man called Paulthetall has ported the game Mount and blade warband.

http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php/topic,227080.0.html

This is what i have been waiting for a long time as i mostly use my mac when i am not home and thus cannot play c-rpg, is there anyway possible that we could make the c-rpg installer Mac friendly?

would be a great help if anyone could help me do this

Thank you

Ive been playing cRPG on a Mac ever since I started a few years ago.
Unfortunately, the last 1.151 Taleworlds version broke it for me.
My old way of playing:

I used Crossover games mac (you have to pay), or maybe another wine emulator, then go here:
http://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility/browse/name/?app_id=7554
There is originally a problem with the mouse, but it can be solved on the same page, link.

Then, to play cRPG with the launcher, you also need the .NET environment 2.0, downloadable here:
http://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility/browse/name/?app_id=1578
I had problems once installing the .NET after warband, but I dont know if it is because I messed up or because of the order of installation.

Now Im downloading the port you posted, and will try to get cRPG to work later, when its finished


EDIT: Downloaded and installed, but cant get it to run cRPGlauncher.exe
I probably will need to install the .NET 2.0 framework as in crossover, but I dont know how to do it.

EDIT 2: I managed to run the game using the WSEloader.exe, but when I select a server, it just freezes. This is exactly the same problem I have when using crossover both on the Steam and non-steam versions, dont have any idea of what can be causing this

UPDATE: Managed to install the .NET 2.0 framework, at least it said so, downloading it from here, but when I try to run the cRPGlauncher it just crashes

This has been out for a very long time. You can spot Mac players such as ivani4 very easily.

anyone know if c-rpg works with this port?

[Moncho]

At the moment, for me, no.
But it doesnt either with crossover, since the 1.151 patch

I wonder if there is some hidden native linux client around.

how can you play warband with one mouse button???

My friend bought this the other day and I helped him get it working.

1) Installed game on mac
2) I sent him my cRPG folder from modules
3) Put my cRPG folder in his modules
4) Launch game normally without the cRPG launcher and ignore the message about WSE

Worked a treat.

[Moncho]

In that case, the cRPG launcher might not be downloading correctly some of the files.
Would it possible to know from a dev what tools the cRPG launcher uses?
I think it uses the .NET environment 2.0, at least with this, I could play correctly until the last Warband patch
To avoid the WSE message, you can launch instead of the mb_warband.exe (the standard one), the file WSEloader.exe located in /Modules/cRPG/WSE/WSEloader.exe
Without this, I believe Battle and Siege work fine, but DTV, rageball and strategus dont work, please correct me if im wrong.


Also a question, supy0, does he use the 1.143 or 1.151 version of Warband?

[supy0]

1.143

Hi, I'm the friend he mentions above. Just install the Tall the Paul version, then open packages for the MaB .app/.exe, go through the simulated windows folders to the packages and stick the cRPG folder in there like he says. Working fine for me, though I have crashed twice and I get a console error that I need to update cRPG when I join a server. Also get a warning that I need to use the cRPG script optimiser, but it all works fine.

[Moncho]

I did that, but I dont have a working version of cRPG on my laptop at the moment, so I cant get it to work.
Your errors might disappear if in wineskin, you change the windows EXE from /Program Files/Mount&Blade Warband/mb_warband.exe (what i have originally) to /Program Files/Mount&Blade Warband/mb_warband.exe/Modules/cRPG/WSE/WSEloader.exe
What the launcher does, iirc, is both launch the WSE and update the game if it is not to the latest version, this should launch the WSE and get rid of some warnings.
