Diplomacy Surprise and You
Before posting, please review the Change Notes as there are known issues that are posted there. The known issues are not game breaking and are mostly cosmetic. When and if I find the fix for those issues, I will update the files and also update the Change Notes.

Please refrain from using the Comments section for technical questions. The reply limit in Comments makes it hard to type a proper step-by-step adjustment that may be requested by you. I love to help, but I don't love the limitation settings over there. Reply to this Discussion Thread instead if you have issues or questions about the mod, and I will do my best to answer.

Thank you for playing, and I do hope you're having fun. ^_^

Yes, it requires Mount&Blade: Warband 1.174. That's the only requirement, no other versions.

Even better, you can control if and when that happens with Diplomacy. Go to your Camp menu, select Diplomacy Preferences, and there is a box you can check to Disable Companion Complaints. Instant pacification!

Some people, like me, can't stand being their personal shrink. Others like the interaction, and one of the reasons that Diplomacy 4.3 is popular, is the player, you, have the option for either one at your fingertips.

So yes, you can turn off their need for a warrior psychologist anytime you like. ^_^

This can happen for one of two reasons. Firstly, the integrity of the files needs to be checked and they will self repair. Secondly, there is a mod count limit to the list. It may not be showing up if you have a bunch of mods installed that you don't play anymore.

Verify File Integrity... go to the game Library. Right click mount and blade and choose properties. Go to the Local Files tab across the top, and in that menu, find the option to verify game files. Let that run its course.

If that fails to work, find one or two mods you don't play anymore and unsubscribe.

99.9% of the time, it's one of these two issues. That other .1% is usually an installed brand new antivirus that's too aggressive or another conflicting program, but that's rare.

Please let me know how it turns out.

Upon Edit: I do recall a few months back, somebody had the 'not showing up' issue for Vanilla Surprise and Steam had pooched the directory as his SSD was going bad. He fixed all of his issues, not just this one, by reinstalling Steam into a different Library and re-downloading Mount and Blade and all of his mods. I'm not saying this is your issue, I just failed to recall it as I was typing because I don't have enough coffee in my system.

Glad to be of help, even more happy that one of those solutions worked for you. I hope you have fun! ^_^

Your modification is great!
In addition to cool armor for girls, it improves their curves, angular faces and gives a great soundtrack.
I recognized him as a Wolfish Blizzard with witcher 3, but he doesn't recognize the rest ... Can you give me the music used that is added by the mod?
Xarduvik  [developer] 31 May, 2020 @ 6:08am 
Huntress, I'd love to give you the name of the artists and titles, but there is a wee bit of a problem with that. All of the music I used came from Royalty Free Sound Tracks that I bulk purchased years ago. One file has up to 8 or 9 songs on one track, it's up to me to splice or dice the tunes to however I need it. One thing I do remember, these were not cheap.

While I do not recall the vendor's name I purchased them from online, I do have a list of the sound tracks themselves. Maybe a Google search can help you find them. Maybe not. Remember, each title has a load of sound tracks under that one name. Artists are not included in any of the metadata.

Aggressive War Epic Music Collection
Bard Songs - Female Vocals - Medieval Style Music
Epic Battle Heroic Music
Medieval Orchestral Epic Victory Battle Music Mix
War Music - Legendary Cinematic Soundtrack

I hope you find what you're looking for. From one of them, a sharp eared player recognized The Willow Maid - by Erutan. If not for that player, I would have never known.

Good luck!

Thank you, but above all, thank you for this fashion ... I can't make mods myself, for example, to fix ugly faces in games
BlackQueen 31 May, 2020 @ 8:46am 
However, I must say that I got scared when walking around the city I saw a model of a woman with the face of a man with lush beard. A heart attack is guaranteed, but also laughter

Huntres, LOL yup, that is Diplomacy 4.3 for ya. Are you playing as a female avatar? For me, that was the only time I witnessed what you described. If it was not the case, I'd like to know. ^_^
BlackQueen 1 Jun, 2020 @ 1:09pm 
i play only female avatar... my first achevment = Femfatale XD
Xarduvik  [developer] 1 Jun, 2020 @ 7:38pm 
Yup, I figured that was the case. It is the only time that happens hehe. I didn't develop Diplomacy 4.3, it's too complex for me. It rewrites a large portion of the coding dialog that I never wrote, I only merged it with my Vanilla Surprise part of the mod. If and when the Developer for Diplomacy 4.3 fixes it, I can import and update, but not until that time.
