Mac crashes?
Hi, I deleted the font.dds file, and now I can't enter a town/city or a battle, or really anything where your character is active. Help please?

Mac version crashes because the mod has not been tested in a Mac. Hence is not supported.
In what's left of the development team we don't seem to have any Mac hardware.

I appreciate the quick response, and thank you for notifying me. Darn shame. Pretty sad. This mod seems like a master piece. You guys planning to make a lotr mod for Bannerlord?

We don't know. I probably won't, but we released the mod as open source, so someone could potentially scrap parts of it and adapt it to any future game.

Oh yeah, I've been trouble shooting the issue, and I've figured out what it is. I am thinking the mod is reliant on the font.dds file. So when people on mac delete that file to fix the messed up text, the mod goes bad because some of the graphics no longer work with font.dds no longer present. So perhaps the way to fix this issue is maybe make a version of the mod that is not reliant on the font.dds file? I'm just saying. Like I know the bare bones of coding, so don't take my word for it, but I assume that's the way to fix the problem.

I have Mac. Mod is okey but i do not understand language. It is not English. I think it is realy Elvish language. Fix it. Please. Mod very nice.

@TrainOfPain The reason the text is broken is because warband on mac does not support custom fonts, which this mod has. If you remove the font.dds file from the mod folder, then the font works, but the game will crash each time you enter a battle or a city or really do anything that's not on the map.

Take a look here: https://www.reddit.com/r/mountandblade/comments/3qovj4/text_bug_for_mb_warband_mods_on_mac/

If you help me out diagnosing the problem I may fix the Mac OS X version step by step.

Sorry, so what is it you want me to do? Just I don't understand. Do you want me to try out the fix suggested?

Maybe remove the custom font and releasing a download so use mac users have the default font?
Hexatorium 26 Mar, 2016 @ 5:49pm 
That's my suggestion exactly. Honestly, I don't think there is any other way to fix it.

Just remove the custom fonts and leave the original mount and blade warband ones, therefore it will be readable on mac. Release a mac version and I'll put the in the modules folder manually....

It's a bit more complicated. Also, we are not going to remove custom fonts only so that the Mac version gets a bit less buggy. There's many issues with that flavor of the engine.

I replaced the font_data.xml in the mod folder with the native one, and to no avail. Oh and also, when we say replace the original fonts, we do not mean to override the original mod. Let the windows users enjoy their custom fonts, just simply have an extra link for mac users. I understand if that is too difficult to do however. After all, I only have basic knowledge as to how to program and such, so you're the expert here.

I wanted you to do it the other way around, put our custom font_data.xml into the common folder (at <game's root path>/Data). Then launch TLD and post an screenshot.

About an extra version for some platforms, that can't be done in the Workshop.
