Good luck cornering it though. Only good for lancing, has an insane charge bonus but cornering is ass. Sits you a little higher off the ground so regular swings rarely hit.

What happens to your troops after you take a dirt nap, though? Blood and steel had that feature, but also forced all of your units to charge like a bunch of monkeys when you do. And if the point of the formation is to hold an organized gunline, then it'll all go to shit in no time.

Different mods handle it different ways. Some force your units to charge, and some allow you access to the orders menu.

[Anonymous No.]

>>20952203
Here's my solution to that problem.

I have three to four lines of units. The first two are expendable units that are made of liberated prisoners or jiangshi spawned for free from my onmyoji. Guns (for some reason) have much, much farther range than all bows, so I could usually expect all guns to fire the moment the enemy peeks their ugly heads over the horizon. From the range difference alone, I could snipe from the first line unmolested while the penal battalion tanks all the enemy archers and, most importantly, enemy cavalry.

I start the battle at the first rifle line - slightly expendable Kappa infantry. Technically, they're more expensive than Tengu gunner 5s, but I could replenish them out of the gate from recruiting Kappa 1s en-masse, waiting 1 night for the training bonus, and immediately refill any losses with Kappa 2s.

Once the expendables have been wiped out, I make a run for the second line, joining the tengus to snipe the remaining enemies. Normally, very few enemies remain at this point (if I didn't bite off way more than I can chew), and they're usually the slow moving heavy infantry - the perfect prey for my gunline.

Often, some are able to reach the first line, which is why I decided to use Kappa 2s and 3s. Their bayonets are capable of defeating even heavy infantry and cavalry, if we aren't heavily outnumbered at that point.

Finally, if even the Kappas are screwed, I run behind the tengu line, get on my horse and switch to my cavalry carbine to either cheese-plink the remaining (usually melee) units, or hightail it, pressing tab like a madman for a, uh... "tactical retreat".

The absolute state of Chireiden

This is the first time I've visited my whole playthough, and I can only imagine what happened here was a Yurei unit just pacmanned all the caravans that passed through here. And since growing to such a massive size, even the lords of hell couldn't take it down anymore.

So, /jp/, do I take it down or see just how much larger it grows?

I'd agree with you. But when I first started out and went full 18th century, I quickly realized that muskets didn't pack quite enough punch, or wreak as much terror as I hoped it would, meaning I was routinely getting my ass handed to me by massed shield infantry or, god forbid heavy cavalry.

This was, if anything, a workable compromise.

>>20953173
I find the Mecha really cheesy and can't in good conscience use it in high numbers. It is the only semi-automatic anything; that anything being a 70P pistol with the range of a gunpowder weapon and 88 accuracy. It is, for some reason, the most armored unit in the game. These, despite being a tier-2/3 unit with, somehow cost less upfront and upkeep-wise as their sister-unit, the kappa 2/3.

If that's no enough I've noticed what might be a hidden ability of mechas (or kappas, can't tell) of greatly reducing ranged accuracy of their enemies. I noticed this from hunting Kappa War Machine groups and noticing my 100 accuracy rifle suddenly had a massive bloom ONLY when fighting against them.

All that aside, I just think rifle and bayonet are pretty damn cool.

I figured that was a result of having a negative tactics score usually found when fighting large groups of enemies.

I never noticed tactics making any difference, especially in such a concrete way. And even if it were true, surely a group of 32 kappas/mechas can't possibly be outnumbering my army of 150, or out tacticking Akyuu with 10 tactics.

It's a shame that most of the scenes I want to fix appear to still be broken in Touhou: Tinder. Porting over scenes would likely be very easy.

>>20955598
It is. A lot of the faction patrols have some sort of special ability like that. The troops that compose the patrols do not have those abilities when encountered elsewhere.

Incidentally, mecha used to be dramatically more overpowered, as they had ~500 points in all their weapon skills and a ton of points in power strike and ironskin and such. The upgraded kappa rifleman also used to be much weaker, and were basically worthless even compared to mercenary gunners, much less mecha. I've tried to lower the disparity between the two, but I might need to address just how incredible the mechas' equipment is at some point. Having the best or near-best gun, armor, and shield in the game all on the same troop is a bit much.

Overpowered stuff is fun so don't overdo nerfs. Just balance stuff on a cost basis. A mecha army can win any siege in the game so it should cost a fortune to maintain. Like 120 denars a pop at least.

[Anonymous No.]

>>20957164
They have a good lance, a really good two-handed weapon, a mediocre shield, a pretty good horse, and fairly strong armor. Their two-handed weapon has very high reach, which is a strong asset while mounted, and mostly a disadvantage on foot because the AI isn't very good at using long weapons.

Overall, they are quite well-equipped, but they wouldn't be nearly as deadly without their high strength, power-strike, and weapon skills. They also aren't well-equipped to handle castle assaults.

Why not put mecha at the end of the Kappa rifleman chain, with requisite upgrade costs and upkeep? That way they actually become tier 4/5 units. Hell, that kappa 1 could easily be a tier 2/3 infantry alone thanks to the shield.
You could always give the chain an overhaul with new branches, like so:

Kappa 1 (no shield) > Kappa 2 (shield) > Kappa 3 (better 1h) OR Kappa Gunner 3 (pistol)

Then attach the current Kappa/Mecha 2/3 to the gunner 3 as Mecha 4+5 and Kappa gunner 4/5.
There's room for some heavy infantry with a new Kappa 4+5 too.

Man, Myouren temple is really weak. Their units give me the feeling they were intended to be fielded in human wave tactics, but that doesn't really work in MB

[Anonymous No.]

>>20958386
They got slapped with a pretty heavy buff in Tinder. They're gunpowder crusaders with Youkai armies. Their main line is either Divine Servants with muskets or these Nue archers that shoot across the battlefield. Their elite line splints into heavy infantry or heavy cavalry.

[Anonymous No.]

>>20958386
Which factions are generally considered strong and which are considered weak?
In my save the Lunarian Renegades doesn't even exist anymore, Hakurei Shrine is down to just one fortress and SDM got hit very heavily too. Senkai took up most of those 3 factions and is gargantuan, wihle Myouren Temple grew a decent amount too.

[Anonymous No.]

>>20958449
Senkai is weak but they bloat their armies because of Jiangshi summoning, which helps them in the auto calc. I'd say it looks like this:

>High Tier
SDM
Youkai Mountain
>Mid Tier
Hakurei
Eientei
Netherworld
Underworld
>Bottom tier
Senkai
Myouren

These are just my opinions of course. I don't think it's very controversial that Myouren and Senkai are the bottom two factions though.

[Anonymous No.]

so is anon's or tinder better?

[Anonymous No.]

>>20958467

[Anonymous No.]

>>20958478
That's just the auto-calc silliness messing with you. Outside of battles you actually fight, numbers are simply the overwhelming factor - something Senkai and Myouren have going for them.

[Anonymous No.]

>>20958468
The thing is, the original Chinese version of Origins without anon's tweaks was bottom of the barrel trash. However after his tweaks it's a great, enjoyable experience. Tinder is actually fairly enjoyable without many tweaks because it has working custom questlines, more units, features like creating your own caravans, QoL fixes (spectator mode after getting KO'd), a bunch of fixed scenes, larger map, and somewhat better balance. Despite that it's not as polished as anons. So basically anons version is less jank, fewer features and Tinder is more jank, more features.

>>20958478
That's because those factions can recruit absurd amounts of units. If you fight against Senkai or Myouren with an army composed of units from other factions though, you'll win pretty easily.

Yeah, I think sohei are the worst faction troop line in the game, and crusaders are the worst elites. The other troops they have access to aren't bad, but those two just don't have much going for them. The polearm wielding sohei look okay on paper, but in practice they die in droves.

>>20958449
It depends on how you look at it, but in general: Eientei, Senkai, and Myouren Temple are the minor factions, and the others are the major factions. The major factions have more territory, more lords, and stronger troop trees. The minor factions tend to be in fewer wars at a time, though, and have a much easier time defending their territory or organizing an offensive, so it's not uncommon for one or two of them to be pretty successful. Due to the simplistic nature of the game's autocalc, their armies also perform better against those of the major factions than they would if the player was present. If the battles actually played out, Reimu's party would probably have a shot at defeating every Senkai lord somultaneously, because throwing hundreds of jiangshi at her honor guard of oni mikos is unlikely to end well.

I got the Hakurei Shrine siege battle fixed. It took a bit more effort than expected, since I had to both rebuild the non-functional path up to the shrine, and fix some huge problems with the AI mesh. The area around the gatehouse stairs was this confusing mass of vertices that turned out not to actually connect to the rest of the map, so the attackers would ascend the stairs, fail to figure out how to reach the archers in the gatehouse, and then permanently freeze in place and wait for the merciful release of death.

>>20958737
Kasha are my personal favorite unit in the game, and I usually don't even like horse-archers.

>>20957904
I'll experiment with this later, mostly just out of curiosity. One thing I might try to do with the kappa down the road is to turn them into grenadiers. The mod actually already has grenades in it, though I would need to create a much weaker version of them for troops to use. This would give the kappa a unique niche rather than just being off-brand lunar rabbits.

That sounds absolutely smashing.

I don’t think artillery would really work well with the scale and the AI in mount and blade. I don’t see how you can really balance ~5 men being taken out per cannonball with the number of troops in a given battle. Either you make cannons wildly inaccurate, which frustrates the player, weak, which defeats the purpose, or leave them as is, which makes battles merely a contest of who has the most cannons.

If you can't you could always just retexture a normal axe to have a glowy red blade and call it a heat hawk. They do use Zeon suits after all.
Considering they only account for direct line of fire, I'm a little worried about the grenadiers misjudging the AOE and blowing up my lancers. Though, I suppose if I had massed laser fire combined with mass grenade throwing, combined with artillery. I probably shouldn't have friendlies in the contact area anway.

Possibly. Right now I'm mostly focused on fixing scenes, and I'm confident in my ability to achieve that. There are some other issues I'm less sure how to approach, largely due to my inexperience at coding anything:

-I would like to add battle continuation to the game, preferably with a fancy controllable camera. I could probably achieve this, but it would take me a long time.
-Generic lord dialogue is all written with the assumption that all lords are male, leading to lots of strange conversations and pronoun usage. I can't think of a good way to address this that wouldn't be a huge undertaking.
-I still intend to revamp the tournament weapon selection, and I'm not clear on why my first attempt failed. I could probably figure it out, but it would likely take a whole lot of trial and error.

It is entirely possible that the friendly fire issue will end up making the grenadier idea non-viable. Because of how the AI works, I wouldn't be that surprised to see a grenadier squad react to a single cavalrymen charging into them by thoroughly bombing the area and killing themselves.

Might just be a problem with the model, but the kunoichi armor's arms are too long for the hands, so you end up with stumps and floating hands just under the wrists. Also, the whole armor slot thing is kind of a mess I think. I don't think there's much of a reason why animal heads deserve the head slots while wigs generally share the boots slots with a bunch of other headwear. I'd argue for there being more projectile spamming, but seeing how slow ranged combat typically is and how slow characters tend to move, it's probably for the best danmaku isn't in use.

I'm very interested to see what you'll be doing with this mod though OP, good luck, especially if you're considering expanding certain factions. I would love to see the Genbu Ravine Kappa and the Yamawaro being their own separate minor factions. Given the technological superiority (excluding the Lunarians), I do agree ballistics, firearms and explosives would be the way to go handling them. Just wouldn't be kappa engineering if things didn't turn hectic.

I got the Myouren Temple siege scene revised. I don't blame the original developer for not being able to figure out why the attackers wouldn't use that ladder, because I couldn't either. I ended up shifting the focus of the battle to an entirely different part of the map. It's probably more defensible this way as well, though Myouren's units suck so much at sieges that it hardly matters.

>>20964088
The armor situation is even more of a mess than you might realize. In addition to there being little rhyme or reason to which slot each armor piece uses, many armor pieces are also designed to be used with only one particular skin. Most at least look decent with the default "skin 3" model, but some, like the kunoichi armor, only really work with Warband's "female" skin.

I revised some spawn points in all the SDM taverns, Great Mausoleum's hall, the Clock Tower siege battle and castle interior, Moriya Shrine arena, and probably some other places I'm forgetting. The Hakugyokurou siege scene turned out to have only a halfway-completed AI mesh, so that'll take a bit more time to fix.

I wish these stone stair props were more functional. They would be pretty useful for a lot of scenes if units could actually reliably ascend them.

>>20968087
I haven't played around with Tinder much just yet, but Origins is plenty playable so long as you're willing to overlook some weirdness. Not much is really outright broken beyond a handful of siege scenes and such, which I'm in the middle of repairing.

Warband does have a bit of a learning curve to it, so don't get too discouraged if you have a rough time at first. In the beginning of the game, you need to be pretty careful with your finances, and you should probably avoid picking fights with much other than bandits (hostile parties with grey text.) Faction patrols (hostile parties with faction-colored text) are extremely dangerous to a new character.

I got Hakugyurou's siege scene working pretty well, and moved on to Untrodden Valley. I've always really liked how Untrodden Valley looks, and the general idea of an extremely strong fortress with nothing but natural defenses. Hopefully I can make it possible for troops to navigate it without marring the aesthetic.

I also took a look at Nine Heavens Waterfall, and I'm not sure what I want to do with it yet. Making the ladder less ridiculously steep wouldn't be too hard, but without the ridiculously steep ladder it's a really boring fortress. It consists of nothing but a ladder that leads into a small room containing all of the defenders. I might end up keeping the terrain, but rebuilding the castle.

One question: I'm pretty sure I remember there being one other castle that was just as badly broken as the Misty Lake one, with the walls floating in the air and completely inaccessible to the attackers. Anyone happen to remember seeing that and know which one it is?

Having played both updated Origins and Tinder at length, I have come to the following conclusions:

- Tinder, just as many anons have said, does indeed have a bunch more features. However, I cannot truly say that these features are substantial to the experience. You can establish caravans but it's a bit of a bother, you can swap equipment between soldiers but it's very limited, in any case, your companions have their own inventories but it's a pain to wield. There might be more that I'm not recalling right now, but in the end, they wouldn't be the features I might be looking for if I wanted to play a Touhou mod, but I guess they're there.
- A storyline that is connected to your starting selection. Now this would be more substantive, if only the translation wasn't ass. I understand why that is, and what plot I could gleam from it is quite interesting. Don't mistake this for an overarching story arc, however - it only comes about by the typical 2 or 3 line dialogue when visiting specific spots, and while I haven't finished the story yet, I have a feeling that it won't actually have any significant effect to the overall game. Which is fine. I'm not really asking for much.
- Many scenes, such as village battles, bandit ambushes in towns, and sieges have been fixed. This is nice.
- The overland map is HUGE. And I don't mean this in a good way. It's way too fucking HUGE. It's so huge it's hard to find places even on the farthest zoom. There are huge swathes of uninteresting land, and while the increased party speed sort of makes up for this, if you think travelling is a chore in Origins, you don't want to see how bad it is here. I can only thank the fact that Ctrl+Enter exists.
- Unit trees have been reworked. This is a double edged sword. On one hand, trash-tier factions like Myouren and... well, just Myouren, really, have gotten the much-need love they deserve. On the other, some units are gone, most notably anon's favorite - Mecha. Not good.
- A lot of the models are better. Characters, especially. But there are still, janky holdovers such as the Kunoichi armor.
- An anon said that the UI was greatly improved, so I sort of looked forward to it, but upon actually trying I guess he only meant that the random images are gone. Or, some of them are. Honestly, they've never bothered me. The font, however - and I mean Tinder's - looks like ass. I swear, I'd go for Arial over this one. At least it won't be a chore to read.

I could go on and on about the more minor differences, but there are pros and cons about both. Tinder has the advantage of the time put in by the author since abandoning origins, for good and bad. Origins retains simplicity plus anon's active effort to improve the translation (or add them where there was nothing at all).

Person who proposed a fix for it here. I agree on everything you said. I thought it was one of the cooler maps, but troops getting stuck on terrain and the holes make it a bit much. Especially since all the defenders tend to clump on the top level of the map and instantly shoot at anyone who goes up the final walkway.

>Nine Heavens Waterfall
I brought attention to this one as well. Could replacing the ladder with a spiral staircase work? Like, one that goes along the length of the room. As for the castle itself, yeah. The giant piling is kind of ridiculous, moreso than Untrodden.

>question
I don't recall that. I know there's a battle map near the kappa place where you can't reach the opposition though. I think it's a town battle when you fight off kedama or something.

Good work so far though. If I get a chance to play some more, I'll try to keep an eye out for more brokenness that is readily apparent.

I guess the map thing is a bit of personal preference. I thought the small map in Origins is atrocious. Everything is smashed together. There are some swathes of empty land like around Eintei and South of the Underworld but I think that can be fixed relatively easily with some map editing.

Font is atrocious and fixing it would be nearly impossible because if I try adding a font without a fuckload of Chinese characters all the text breaks.

As for the units that are gone, I think the Mecha is like the only relevant one. Adding back a mecha to the tree is actually incredibly trivial (5 minute fix), and since they made higher tier units require far more XP to get it helps the balance. Anyway I've been working on a lot of fixes to make Tinder a bit better, I'll probably release something next week. I appreciate the insight so I know what to focus on.

[Anonymous No.]

>>20969973
I honestly have no idea.

To be fair, the size of the map overall is probably the same as Origins, but since Origins as everything happening in this tiny area, where SDM, Senkai, Myouren, Hakurei and Youkai Mt. are all squeezed up against each other, the map doesn't feel quite so huge. You only really notice it if, for some reason, you need to be going either towards the Netherworld or the Underworld... which I sort of get, but it is still a bit of a pain.

[Anonymous No.]

>>20970011
>I guess the map thing is a bit of personal preference.
If you say as much, then you might be right. Even in Origins, I've always favored playing the factions closest to each other, since they're the most fun to play. Even when I wanted to try out serving Yuyuko, just their position on the map plainly convinced me otherwise.

I couldn't, for the life of me, begin to understand why someone would want a map with the size and density of the fucking Eastern Front in 1942, but to each his own.

[Anonymous No.]

>>20969949
Maybe it's just me, but I like the janky weirdness and (im)balance of Origins. It's charming in its own kind of way and as a bonus it has an anon's love put into it. The only things I think need to be changed is the stuff that's outright broken or too weak, the fairies being given their own faction would be nice too because there's so many of them, even if it meant losing Cirno and Daiyousei as companions.

Also I'm not sure if anyone has found this out yet, but if you take up Seija's cause to overthrow Reimu, you can get Remi's Gungnir and Blood Spear from her. I didn't even notice until I saw her nuking our own troops with Gungnir in the logs. Classic Seija.

Gungnir has a value of 23,000 while the Blood Spear is worth 2,300. Gungnir has 5 uses but it's a really weird weapon - how many troops it seems to hit seems random. It either whiffs or knocks out one or two soldiers, but twice I've had it save my ass and wipe out an entire army when I really needed it. The blood spear seems pretty average and I haven't noticed anything extraordinary about it.

>>20969985
>Could replacing the ladder with a spiral staircase work?
I got an idea a little earlier for how to restructure the interior that would involve a spiral staircase, along with some other changes. Due to the way the scene props are put together, I would probably have to rebuild most of the interior even to just change the position of the ladder, so I may as well do a more significant remodeling of the place.

>>20970557
You're right that it causes problems, but part of me likes that Tenshi is this chaotic force on the battlefield capable of either winning the day nearly single-handedly or completely screwing you over (or just being flashy and annoying.) I'm also not sure what I would do with the ability even if I was inclined to change it.

Just in case you weren't aware: the earthquake ability is attached to the Sword of Hisou, not Tenshi herself. If you really don't want to deal with it, you can give her another weapon. There's even another weapon in the game with the same model, though it's really expensive.

[Anonymous No.]

>>20970674
If it's at all possible, the bet option is to set a timer to erase the rocks tenshi creates. If it isn't possible, maybe just give her an explosion ala-gungnir, except maybe slightly weaker? That would be a workable compromise. And if you want to keep her theme of chaotic force of nature, make it so the explosion hurts all units around her - including yours.

Regarding Tinder, I'm working on increasing interaction between factions by repositioning settlements on the map and adding terrain features to previously barren lands. I've already moved Eientei's holdings far closer to the Misty Lake/Human Village area, and I'm working on moving some of the Netherworld's holdings to interact more with Youkai Mountain and the Underworld. Not sure what to do with Hakurei Shrine yet. My goal however isn't to smash everything together into one tight area like Origins, but to bring the really remote towns and castles to more strategic and impactful locations. I'll work on adding back the "fun" units that were removed in the transition out of Origins after that. Stuff like Mechas, Werewolves, and Mermaids.

Progress on Origins continues. With some effort, I got the Untrodden Valley siege scene working to a point I'm satisfied with. The main terrain piece used there is fundamentally flawed, and has some hairline fissures in it that units can somehow fall into and get stuck in. Combined with all the larger holes in the map and how jagged the terrain is, getting the scene working at all took some effort. It remains an incredibly tough castle to assault, but the difficulty no longer comes from the attackers failing to navigate their way forward.

I also altered the Magician's Manse map a bit and fixed the issue with the attacker's AI. I also tried to make it a bit more defensible, but it remains a pretty weak castle. I then adjusted spawn points in Moriya Shrine, Tomari, and Nishimeya, so that bandits and the player should spawn in more reasonable locations.

I'm now trying to adjust the Sky Docks scene, which probably won't take too long barring unforeseen difficulties. I have ideas for what I want to do with Nine Heavens Waterfall and Nameless Hill, but they might take a bit to implement.

[Anonymous No.]

>>20975556
Awesome to hear on that progress. I've gone over a number of new castles. Most have been pretty standard. Shining Needle Castle is notably a really nice one. However, there seems to be an issue with the geometry along the path to where all the enemies spawn.

It's a bit hard to explain where it it, but climbing up to the castle, crossing to the other upside down spire, looping around it and into the first room the attackers would enter. From the staircase down, if one were to move straight toward the wall, things seem to be prone to start free falling. I managed to get stuck there with no way out until I was killed.

Other than that map, a lot of the maps have been pretty standard/no big issues so far.

[Anonymous No.]

>>20975608
That's a difficult question to answer without knowing exactly what you're trying to achieve or what part you need help with, but I can give a brief overview. Let me know if you want me to expand on anything.

The banners are located in the Textures folder. Normally, the game uses banners_a.dds, banners_b.dds, and so on, but Origins now uses the "std_banners" files. .dds files can be opened with Photoshop and GIMP, so it's possible to just paste new banners in place over the old ones. The banners in Origins are 132x330 pixels, but this is not true of most other mods. Here's the template I used, which includes the banner texture: https://mega.nz/#!SfJFwQRR!Rpq9FU450FXBFHoB7vfmI_kHbaszlqa4ocYfnbilTXo

So I wasn't able to figure out how to assign banners to specific lords. And faction leaders seem to have overlapping banners.

[Anonymous No.]

>>20976098
> I wasn't able to figure out how to assign banners to specific lords.
There are two ways to do this. First, since the game assigns banners in a set order during initialization, you can just rearrange banners so that they get assigned in the desired fashion. Unfortunately, while the order is set, it isn't particularly logical: it doesn't use all the "a" banners, and then all the "b" banners; it jumps around. I'm not sure whether or not I still have my notes regarding the precise order.

Alternately, you can code in banner assignments at the initialization step in scripts. Use troop_set_slot for most lords, and faction_set_slot for the kingdoms and faction leaders. The banners have logical designations: the "a" banners start with mesh_banner_a01 and end with mesh_banner_a21 and so on. The kingdom banners are mesh_banner_kingdom_a, mesh_banner_kingdom_b, and so on.

>And faction leaders seem to have overlapping banners.
Overlapping in what way? The old Origins issue where the same banner was assigned to multiple faction leaders? The issue there was that there were too many banners in the kingdom banners file. Each of the banner files has a set range and I don't know how to increase it, you can't just add more banners onto the end of one and hope for the best. I fixed the issue by assigning those faction leaders banners from outside the banners_kingdoms file. I did this using faction_set_slot in scripts.

>>20975955
It wouldn't hurt. Actually, now that I think about it, there was another Netherworld castle I was intending to take a look at at some point. It's the one where the attackers insist on trying to climb up an incredibly steep hill, and the defenders are mostly just sitting in a blob on top of it next to a keep.

>Suzuunan
Another flat map. Has a weird spawn location, but otherwise nothing crazy.
>Kourindou
Love this map. No issues noted.
>Myouren Cemetery
This one is fine.
>Moriya Shrine
This one is great as is.
>Genbu Ravine
This one is honestly a bit of a mess. The hexagons are back from Untrodden Valley, but there are some spots you can really get stuck on them. Pathing is weird, as well. I like the map a lot but it's very messy.
>Autumnal Halls
Pretty map. No issues.
>Foot of the Mountain
Same.
>Untrodden Valley
I think enough has been said about this one.
>Wind God's Lake
Neat bridge. No issues.
>White Wolf Fortress
Lot of foliage blocking the attackers which I think is a nice touch. No issues.
>Great Youkai Forest
Very standard fortress. No issues.
>Nine Heavens Waterfall
I pointed this one out very early on. Being worked on/done. Snake Eater ladder extreme edition.
>Castle of the Wind
This one is nice.
>Tengu Settlement
Really like this one too. No issues.
>Mayohiga
This one has been discussed.
>Fortress of Liminality
Really good map. Has a lot of moving through buildings up to the top.
>Sanzu River Valley
Many defenses done here. Defending as a player, you can take down armies x4 larger and win despite overpowered enemy lords. Fun map. Sometimes a couple attackers spawn glitches and don't move, 1-4 usually.
>Echoing Defiance
This one has some issues with defenders spawning into the floor and not moving or moving out of the world.
>Nameless Hill
Really pretty, but this map has the defenders glitched out super bad I think? Either that, or it's just usual M&B jank. Tons of enemies spawn and then don't attack. Or, that's a result of the shitty Sohei troops.
>Shikigami Camp
Standard fortress, snow edition.
>Castle Black
Super cool floating pathway map. No issues noted.
>Dimensional Rift
One of the maps with all the eyes in the background. No major issues outside of the soldiers warping around that is typical with all of these eye maps.
>Winter's End + Frost Castle
Standard snow fort 2 and 3: Electric Bugaloo and
>Higan
Nice looking map. Don't recall any problems. Been a while since I took it over.
>Hakugyoukuro
Nice map layout. I may do some more looking at this one because I don't remember if there were any issues.
>Nexus of Boundaries
Flat wetland map. Neat. Didn't find any potholes.

This is all I have for now. Maybe if I get time to take over everything else I'll go over the rest.

I figured it out, there was an issue with the header_troops file. And now that that's working, I've added battle continuation. I think it's pretty necessary in a mod like this where everything hits so hard. I've lost more than a few troops from having to auto-resolve due to injuries. Just drag and drop this file into your Touhou Origins folder in modules:
https://mega.nz/#!941wESiK!FL_ti9V1CGmbw_cEqaiZArfJc245futDKmvjrwpyNEY

Moving works like normal, you can adjust the camera sensitivity with numpad +/-, the numpad controls in general are a bit more stable than the mouse as far as rotation goes, but either work fine.

I haven't really had the chance to test this fully, but it should work. Let me know if there are any problems and I'll try to fix it.

[Anonymous No.]

Fixing up Sky Docks has actually proven to be a pain. I initially thought the problem was just that the narrow walkway was too small for the defenders to spawn onto properly, but there were multiple huge issues that completely broke the defender's AI. I have it mostly working now, barring some weirdness that I think has more to do with Myoruren Temple's force composition than anything else. Melee units are spawning in archer/gunner posts, and I think that's because the Myourenji employ extremely few ranged units for some reason. I might re-examine their reinforcements settings, especially since I was planning to attempt to make their troops slightly less awful soon anyway.

While doing some testing, I also found that I need to adjust the overland map a bit more. In retrospect, it might have been wise to examine the script that handles how villages are assigned to castles/cities before moving them around.

>>20978841
There's a decompiler available. I can upload it later if you have trouble finding it, but my internet connection isn't being especially cooperative right now.

>>20979862
Yeah, that's the one. That change would be a start, though I'll probably make more significant alterations. The defenders' position is so terrible that I've destroyed the entire garrison completely by myself before without much difficulty.

Thanks for the info.

>>20981980
I'm not sure offhand, but I think that might be achievable by playing around with the weapon tags.

>>20982959
Sorry about that, I was aware of that problem with the files but forgot that I hadn't corrected it yet. Nice work, though, this is something I've wanted in the mod for a while. Not having battle continuation mostly bugs me for reasons of versimilitude: it seems very silly when a bloody battle on a castle's walls suddenly ends just because the player character goes down, especially when allies or your own liege lord are present. "Hold on, one of my vassals got knocked unconscious. Let's all sheathe our weapons and calmly walk back to where we were when the fighting started."

[Anonymous No.]

>>20983179
Glad to help. I've been having a lot of fun with this mod since you've made it actually playable now, I wanted to contribute at least a little bit as thanks.
Also I forgot to mention your formations will break into a charge on being knocked unconscious so you should still try to avoid banzai charging into the enemy ranks if you're fighting a considerably powerful army.

Also, I've edited all the dialogue so the lords and characters will use proper gender pronouns now. No more 2hus calling each brothers and lads
https://mega.nz/#F!950kVapD!TLxMnk3HrUJMRxLPRrebtA
Same as before, just drag and drop into the directory where your origins module is. I had to cheat a little here, for whatever reason, editing the dialogue files - even if it's just replacing gender pronouns, causes the dialogue system to absolutely shit itself oddly enough. So you need to have your game set to English for this to work, sorry ESLs.

I had the village issue when modding Tinder. Just make sure villages are closer to towns/castles of the proper faction rather than the other.

[Anonymous No.]

>>20983747
When doing substantial changes, it can also help to bear in mind that villages are assigned in two steps. In the first, the game goes through every castle in order and assigns the closest unclaimed village to each of them. The remaining villages are then assigned to whichever town is nearest.

One castle I moved had all nearby villages claimed first by other castles, so it claimed one that was ridiculously distant.

>>20983520
Nice job. Having the "charge" command issued when knocked out is my favored option overall. It only seems fair that your troops at least lose some cohesion when you get brought down.

The models themselves are overall the same. They just fit better because the devs actually made a custom skeleton for them. No Moon Bunnies with football shoulders anymore for example.

I went ahead and strengthened sohei considerably. Fully upgraded, they're now very similar to how crusaders were before in terms of both stats and equipment (aside from the gunners, which are also improved in several ways.) I then replaced crusaders with a unit that specializes in thrown weapons, though I haven't had a chance to see how well it actually performs yet. Sohei and crusaders were practically indistinguishable before, so there wasn't really any reason for both of them to exist.

I also just about have Nameless Hill made into an actual battle, though I've had to alter the map more than I had hoped.

Had a bit of time to do some more sieges.

>Great Mausoleum
This one was really nice. I will note that some enemies spawn in a pretty ridiculously high location. It's not impossible to hit them, but it's damn hard even with near 400 archery and only being able to see their head.
>Wicked Hermit Dojo
This is a neat maze-like fully interior siege. I'd argue it may be a little too maze-like, but luckily troops seem to know how to get to the enemy.
>Daoist Shrine
This one has a an issue where attackers will stop proceding forward once they reach a bottleneck between a building and a wall just up a flight of stairs. Or, maybe it was just my troops, but they refused to move forward despite nothing in their way. Otherwise, nice map.

The next set of sieges I'll likely do are Gangyoji and Unearthed Graves. Afterwords, I'll probably work on the SDM sieges.

I imagine that because Chinese people were messing with the module and claiming it as their own, the devs did some magic to screw with decompilers.

Quick progress report on Tinder:
Completely re-translated most towns, parties, and units. Most of the original Chinese text from Origins was changed so a new translation was necessary.
Added back Mecha to Youkai Mountain.
Added Kappa Bombers to Youkai Mountain (there was already a bomb item that suited them in the files so I just made use of it by adding a new kind of unit on the upgrade tree).
Added Kobito Swordsman to Hakurei's unit roster (unit was already ingame, but was only used in tournaments).
Repositioned a huge amount of holdings to make factions interact more. Yukari's holdings moved closer to the Underworld. Shining Needle Castle also moved closer to the Underworld. Kourindou moved closer to the Human Village area. Eientei holdings moved much closer to the Misty Lake & Senkai area. Few other minor adjustments like spacing out the holdings in SDM and Underworld, also moving Hakugyokurou closer to the Sanzu River opposite of the Underworld.
Replaced default font with the font from Origins, eyes should bleed less now.
Minor change to a few poorly designed units. For example Moon Rabbit 2's had only rifles with no bayonets and throwing weapons, so they would try to use their fists in melee and die. There were also a few archers without power draw and throwers without power throw.
Added Origins anon's companion dialogue changes and the more recent gender pronouns patch from the other anon. Thank you immensely for your hard work in making these.
Also went through and did a few dialogue edits myself, changing denars to P点 , Calradia to Gensokyo, and a few other "lore" edits.
Repositioned spawn points in a substantial number of tavern & castle scenes so you don't have to run across the scene to see people.
Added a different texture for the snowy areas that hopefully makes your eyes bleed less.

Overall I'm pretty close to uploading a new version. Just need to tweak a few dialogue areas and figure out how the hell to make banners display logically instead of having 2 factions with the Buddhist banner and one with no banner.

Has anybody had any luck messing around with tournaments yet? I was thinking of trying to work on them. Namely selectable weapons since gear loadouts almost always work against you (bow vs horse-mounted sword and shield, fun). And maybe some unique equipment as prizes.

Correct me if I'm wrong but it looks like they tweaked tournaments a little bit already since it's based on knock-outs and not last man standing, which I don't think was a thing in vanilla so it's pretty peculiar why they didn't add code for choosing weapons unless they ran into a problem or quit before bothering with it.

[Anonymous No.]

>>20988717
Changing loadouts isn't hard but as far as making them selectable goes, I'd just go look for the Floris source files and steal from those. Sounds like a lot of work when you could just do some simple stuff like remove javelins and bows to replace with crossbows (to deal with the highly armored tournaments) and make sure either everyone in a tourney has a horse or nobody has a horse.

[Anonymous No.]

>>20984040
I ended up finally winning, but the only reason I won is because I had literally every lord in my faction's army fighting with me and it glitched out somehow and teleported me up where the archers were.

Nine Heavens Waterfall will take a bit more effort than anticipated to fix. The tower is situated right on the map edge, which really limits what I can do with that structure. I'll probably shift the fight to the other tower.

>>20988717
I haven't returned to that idea just yet. My primary goal was just to make the various factions use weapons that felt appropriate/distinct to them at tournaments rather than the default stuff. I actually have no problem at all with random weapon sets, though I wouldn't object to them being selectable.

I might go ahead and conduct another experiment on that real quick.

I believe Floris uses TPE which (should be) easily addable. And while it does let you pick equipment it's more of a complete replacer for tournaments which I don't think would go well with the simplicity of Origins.

You could probably just chop out everything except the equipment menu but it seems like that would be an unreasonable amount of work for something so simple in theory.

My second attempt at expanding the list of tournament weapons was also unsuccessful, with the same results as last time. The results are strange enough that I can't really even make a guess at what's going wrong, so I'm going to give up on that. I'll make a half-assed effort at revising the existing weapon list and distribution at some later date if no one else comes up with a better solution.

I did get to have a bit of fun with some "yin-yang orb dodgeball" tournaments, at least.

Tournaments always had the knockout system.
The first 3 rounds are always a melee. They let you in to the next round if you can knock out 1 then 2 then 3 before going down (or just quitting like I do) in each round, respectively.
I'm not sure about the later ones, but they generally don't have more than 4 opponents after round 3 anyway.

Alright! The current module seems quite stable so I'm releasing a new version Tinder. Not savegame compatible because of the enormous number of changes made to the map/parties/etc.

https://mega.nz/#!MoojQQLJ!eRVmovYaadh062e1iZOCheOihn8mGRgP7UoWa3rbu5g
Patch notes: https://pastebin.com/P4RpvW89

Here's a few tips from what I've gathered of my own playtesting.

Each unit (including you) has unique racial characteristics which affect stat buffs. Youkai get a multiplier for higher HP and weapon damage, Tengu get faster movement & attack speed, Fairies regenerate HP, not sure what humans do yet, and there are also NPC races like Vampires and Celestials.

Selecting "Main Quest mode" in the new game screen allows you to choose several different chapters of the main questline to start the game at. The quests are sequential so if you start with "Fresh Start" you'll play through every chapter of the storyline. I still haven't completed it and I've played through quite a few hours of it, but you get rewarded with companions and money for doing it.

If you get stuck after completing the Jiangshi questline, you need to raise your renown to 300 and a Scarlet Messenger will approach your party.

Lords are somehow more broken than before. When you're starting off you should definitely "Disable special powers" in tournaments or else Reimu will hyperspeed across the arena and OHKO you. The good news is that your companions are pretty broken too, and you'll get larger racial buffs as you level up.

Pretty much every factions units are absolutely brutal. Even Daoshi which used to be garbage are a serious threat in melee. The upside is that faction patrols no longer hunt you down if you're not at war with them so you can wait until you've built up some wealth through quests/war/caravans before you have to fight elite units.

Have fun and feel free to leave any feedback in the thread!

>>20991650
>Flan's twisted lance is the best.
By being the absolute best in terms of balancing speed, range and damage.

FIrst off, despite its name, it's more of a halberd than a lance in practice.

It is unmatched with its polehammer-level blunt damage, which cleaves through armored and unarmored enemies both.

Its respectable range combined with near-short-sword levels of speed gives you the advantage over any similarly long weapons.

Just these two aspects - turn you into death incarnate on the battlefield.

The only disadvantage I can state is that when using it with a shield on foot (yes, unlike polehammers, you can use it with a shield), you can only use it like a spear. Don't ask why. However, this is entirely nullified when using it on horseback, allowing you to swing it like the fist of death, at anything that stands in your way.

[Anonymous No.]

>>20991771
I've never tried importing a character, I imagine it either wouldn't work or would set you human as a default.

Also fairy HP doesn't scale. It's a flat 1 hp per second. Their other stats do scale (you can kinda see this in the bottom right of my screenshot, I'm playing as a Youkai).

I play as a fairy and I can tell you to -not- shrug off 1 hp recovery per second. That is, actually, pretty damn broken if you realize that there isn't any way to recover HP (in battle) to begin with.

Furthermore, it has no limit, so, theoretically, if you can survive long enough, you can handle an entire army by yourself.

You think so until you dehorse Miko and watch her fling herself across the battlefield at you, striking down your warhorse in one blow and drowning you in a pile of Jiangshi. Regen is pretty damn powerful and the only thing that balances it are the absurd stats of other units. NPC fairies also regen so Cirno as a companion is a bit of a monster.

Good job anon. I'm a little worried about how the player's strength matches up to everything else, since it's important for the player's strength to be at least noticeable and important in how the battle is won, unless you completely outclass enemies. The way you worded it makes it sound like the player is even more powerless compared to all of the broken lords. For reference, in Origins I'm level 44 which is very high, considering exp reqs start to get exponential at 40. I still get 1-shotted by some mounted units and several lords. I can't imagine what it would be like also having to whittle down their hp even more. That said, I'm almost finished Origins, only needing to take over SDM and Chireiden. Once I'm done and write up all the info I can on the sieges/find issues, I'll probably hop over to Tinder and try it out. If I like it, I'll probably try to help with giving feedback on that as well.

Since the revised Origins map isn't going to be savegame friendly anyway, I decided now was a good time to steal the handful of improved models from Tinder. I ported over the new skeleton/skin the new models are designed to work with as well, and their custom shaders.

The new body/face meshes were all in one file, which made that nice and convenient to port (though I did still have to track down all the individual textures and such.) So far as I can tell, the new weapons are crammed somewhere in a few of the mod's larger resource files, each of which contains hundreds of meshes. That's not an insurmountable obstacle, but it does mean that I need to know what I'm looking for, and I don't really feel like poring over the enormous item list hunting for new and interesting things right at the moment. So, if there's anything you're especially interested in seeing, give me some names and I'll see what I can do.

That's actually normal. If you choose Fresh Start you can't recruit until you finish the intro quest.

>>20992162
I actually found quite the opposite happens. The bonuses your own character gets are quite massive. I'm level 30 and pulling like 200 HP plus a bonus 175% to all damage. I can throw myself at 50 Ice Fairies and go on a rampage without much threat of dying. You're still able to go toe to toe with lords at a high enough level and with good equipment but it takes a bit of skill and careful decisionmaking.

So I finally downloaded Tinder and then imported my 30ish Origins character to it. I feel like a beast. Swing speed, movement speed, HP, regen... Eyem the fucking strongest. I can't imagine what it would feel like to be youkai when a fucking fairy feels this fucking good.

There's a weird thing going on with them. If you talk to Earth Monitors they're forced to try to kill you for seeing them as part of their policy. If you lose the battle you actually see dialogue where they execute you, but the same thing happens if you surrender just without the dialogue.

No it kicks you out to the main menu without saving. Strangely enough the dialogue says they "imprison you" if you fail in assaulting one of their camps but that doesn't actually happen. Point is that Moon Bunnies don't fuck around.

I've been toying with the idea of making some alterations to the UI, though I haven't settled on anything yet. I like the artwork used for the most part, but some of it really doesn't work well as an interface background.

Looking for bandit hideouts is still as obnoxious as ever.

[Anonymous No.]

>>20994758
Just port it from Tinder, it's one of the better things about it.

>>20994827
I placed most bandit hideouts much closer to the populated areas but Warband coding makes them spawn in an area around where their markers are placed, not in the exact location so it's somewhat RNG. Once you get a feel of their general spawn point though they're very easy to find.

[Anonymous No.]

>>20994970
Maybe it's just me, but the incredibly sloppy borders around Tinder's dialogue windows and such annoy me every time I see them, as does the way text flows over onto the edges of the dialogue boxes. I do like that they went for a unified aesthetic with the UI, but a lot about it just bugs me. Fixing those issues might prove to be a better/easier idea than creating something myself, though.

Talk to jailer, demand key, bribe him or beat him senseless, take key, enter prison, tell touhou you're here for the rescue. They'll complain about not having a weapon or something but keep going anyways.

When's that scarlet messenger supposed to appear for the story in Tinder? I have over 300 renown, am I missing something or just not being in the right spot?

After you complete the Jiangshi questline, it should proc when you have 300 renown. I got it near Fujiwara City but I think it just spawns anywhere.

I got the Echoing Defiance siege scene working better. I've come to strongly suspect that the original developer has no idea how AI meshes actually work. I've seen a bunch of maps now where he clearly tried to prevent troops from doing something stupid with AI barriers, when the problem was obviously with the AI mesh. He doesn't even adjust the AI mesh after placing the barriers, which leaves troops thinking that they can walk through invisible walls. I'm starting to get into the habit of just deleting the old AI mesh anytime I start working in the scene, because salvaging it always ends up being more trouble than it's worth.

I also reworked the Ancient City siege scene. The defenders are all reachable, and the attackers no longer get stuck on walls. It remains a pretty tough stronghold despite these changes.

Did fresh start too and I got the scarlet messenger. Honestly, I didn't even know what the trigger was and I just suddenly got it after winning a tournament.

I don't know if it's relevant, but I was working towards vassalizarion to Remi, so I've got good relations with her personally. If you still don't get the event, maybe try sucking up to her/some other scarlet lord?

I'm totally fine with that. I was the one who brought it to attention. I was able to kill all of them, but I felt like it was just very annoying to do especially when someone would probably clear everything only to realize they are now going to try and hit targets from a ridiculous distance for a bit while they have essentially already taken over the city.

I had the same problem for a while so I tried searching the files extensively for the trigger and couldn't find one. It's hidden in the source code unfortunately. At best I might be able to find some way to change the trigger to make it more simple to fire off.

How do you get a faction to "defeat"? Hakurei Shrine hasn't controlled any land for almost a year but Reimu still has 3 vassals raiding my villages. I keep defeating them but they pop up somewhere else. I haven't even seen Reimu herself in 200 days.

[Anonymous No.]

>>21000666
There's a relationship decay when vassals are unlanded and eventually all the lords get unhappy and defect from the faction. The faction is defeated when that happens. You can speed the process up by defeating lords more often.

[Anonymous No.]

>>21000675
How long does it typically take for the last of the lords to defect? Most of them defected out immediately after I took their last hold, but these last 3 have been there for some time.

[Anonymous No.]

>>21000716
That just depends on if the lord really liked them before or not. I couldn't give you a realistic time estimate though since I usually don't pay attention to factions that can barely pose a threat anymore.

I didn't defeat them so much as overthrow them. It's for Seija's claimant quest. Hakurei needs to be "defeated" for her to officially take over it and manage her own castles. Although the SDM just declared war against us, I don't think even cheese can save us against Remi's 1000+ army stacks now.

A similar thing happend in my playthrough. After Lunarians got crushed, most of their characters defected to other factions, but Eirin and Reisen still pledge allegiance to Kaguya. Kaguya herself appears to have been off map for a while now, as they can't tell where she is when asked.
Eirin would try to burn random villages all by herself until the ceasefire was signed. Currently, she and Reisen are camping out in the borderlands with about 200 troops each after a short conflict with the SDM, where they looted a number of villages around Magic Library.

I suspect the faction leaders simply don't respawn if their realm controls no land. Myouren and Senkai are also landless, so I'll try to see if their leaders are around.
