How to modify a little the game (More blood, Cow will follow, More arrow-bolt and throwings.)

Some little modification to make more fun the game....
Nb. Before to save any change on files, save a beckup copy of them, so you will be able to take them back to the original if you do somthing wrong.

How to have more blood!

1 - Go and search for the file particle_systems.txt
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\MountBlade Warband\Modules\Native
If you want to do it for native, but I think it work for mods to if you search for different Modules.

2 - Search for the line psys_game_blood
You will read the following:
psys_game_blood 12800 prt_mesh_blood_1 5000 5.650000 3.000000 0.900000 10.000000 10.000000

3 - You can change it in different ways from the less to the most blody way:
In my personal taste I prefere A, E and H.

Some explanation for the blod mod

A little explanation:
psys_game_blood is the name of the particle system... don't modify this.
"prt_mesh_blood_1", This is the particle mesh being used... prt_mesh_blood_1 is a small droplet prt_mesh_blood_2 is a larger texture of a splatter...
After there are many numbers; first number (500-5000) is the number of particels for second, so the life in seconds of the particels, so how much friction there is
how much gravity there is, Size of random turbulance (in game meters), How hard the particles are pulled

How to make Cattle to follow you!

1 - Go to find the menus.txt file.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\MountBlade Warband\Modules\Native
If you want to do it for native, but I think it work for mods to if you search for different Modules.

2 - Search for the line menu_cattle_herd and change the following in the file:

menu_cattle_herd 4096 You_encounter_a_herd_of_cattle. none 2 600 1 1152921504606847136 2031 1 1441151880758558741 4

In second line there is a number that I underline, 11, that one make cow run from you, we will make cow follow you changing it to 4 and they will do like caravans.
Long numbers can change from the once I writed here do not change them!!! Change only that 11 to 4!

Have more arrows then normal!

1 - search for the file item_kinds1.txt

I underlined the number to change to have a different ammount in game.

For a more easy way you can use this tool, Item Editor Warband compatible:
https://www.mbrepository.com/file.php?id=567

Download it and put in Warband folder. Open the file item_kinds1.txt of the module you want to change and look for all arrows, bolts and trowings in the game and modify theyr ammount.
Personaly I doubled theyr normal number.

I've had an issue for a while where i can only see bloodstains up close to my character no matter what i set the blood settings to in the video settings, do you have any idea how to fix it?

[TengriBless,]

It's not really a mod but you get what i mean.

[TengriBless,]

Or you could use TweakMB. The mod does all this simply and more, i recommend downloading using that instead of confusing yourself with all this. Still, very well done guide.

[Si Jancoeg]

+Fenix Can you add a guide to make a companion to follow you when enter a town or got an ambush in the town, I remember there is an instruction for it on Taleworlds forum...

[gnomE]

Thanks.

[Nathan Algren]

A or E if you want a less visual impact, H if you like to have more blood...

[Dont vote on the ***** team]
