İs this mod still active ?

Yeah, even apart from events people still playing on Gondolin server. Even added new stuff and troops there. Most things related with FI2 actually happening there. The best join discord. It was link somewhere on main one:
FI3: https://discord.com/invite/n2VAnmMHgu
Gondolin: https://discord.gg/yZ3U8wnNef

For all people still crashing recommend to launch mod with WSE2 patch!

is there still a server runnig?

I no longer see full invasion coming up on my mods list even though i subscribed. Does anyone know how to fix this?

crashes every 3 seconds

Is there any way to play the mod on mac? Letters need to be fixed.

Dead mod?

No, we're not working on this mod anymore.

or the opposite

Can you guys add japanese invader?
and mongols as defenders?

UPDATE PLEAAAASE

awesome mod

update plz?

I miss the old faction system so much

they remove half factions for lotr lmao

getting so many runtime errors... pls help

the game crashes on the loading screen, any solution to this?

great mod but cant play bcz microsoft visual runtime error

[2/2] Let's be honest: the old versions had a lot of problems, many factions that didn't work properly etc. A rework was necessary and with the newer versions it was done. I hope that more factions will be added again, but I am also looking forward for FI3 and I can fully understand that the main focus is on it right now. Another thing to consider is that Warband is simply dying since bannerlord was released and thats ok. A new future for FI will come. Thank you for this wonderful mod and all those memories you created.

[1/2] It took me some time to find the right words for my point of view. First of all, I love FI2. I played it 9 years ago on my dads steam account and I played it until I started university. So I can tell that FI2 was a huge part in my time as a teenager and young adult. I have tons of wonderful memories and met friends for a lifetime. After a break of almost 5 years I started playing again. The charme from the old FI2 versions is mostly gone with the newer versions. I agree with some other players here BUT I do like the Osiris version. Personally I see it as a different kind of FI, a 'smaller' version with lot of potential.

incompatible with others in the same workshop... what?

how do you host an server?

anyone get a crash where the game fails to load file models & textures before going into a Runtime Error (despite using the methods to try to prevent one)

Example:
Unable to open texture file C:\ Program Files
(86x)\ [steam files] ... \48700 1390992668/Textures/corinthian_helm_2.dds (EDX-2147024882)

Is there a discord i can join to chat and find players?

noticed that the main lobby atm has 14 players but its passworded. Hoping to join that community.

It keeps saying its unable to open textures and then crashes. How do you fix that?

Duchy of Chen is the best server for this mod.

There is a metal man who is very slow, and hashari who only has daggers, I prefer a fully loaded naked soldier over both of them.
thanks

I love this mod and i play most nights, just one thing bothers me, I am Sir_Throw_Alot and its not just a name, since the beginning it has been my unique style and i do very well with it, close range and far range, the problem is as follows.
When picking my character i look for 2 things, athletics and throwing, when i get to elite level there is nothing that suits my style, so i carry on as a naked soldier with 3 packs of javalins and a double handed weapon.
I need an elite who is fast at running and spawns with proper throwing weapons, not daggers.
i love the mod and will keep playing anyway, but when the rest of the team turn into special archers or special melees, in the later waves there isnt any special thrower unit for me.
Really appreciate the work.
thanks

I'm sorry but I cannot answer: I'm not even sure it ever crashed before using the Warband Script Enhancer while with it it freezed for a couple of seconds twice but without crashing.

@Hektor Riven
Does it remove all the crashing too?

It's not a tip but a recommendation: use the Warband Script Enhancer 2. Basically it gives you more performances and a better visual quality without drawbacks.
I'm talking about v-synced 60 FPS with max graphic settings during the Dev's Wave, with a 980Ti used at about 40%. It's a miracle but so few people know about it.

do you have tips for prevent crashes, i have a good computer and warband sometimes with FI keeps crashing if many mobs are pushing in. I have no Idea ive reduced rag dolls but sometimes it just frezzes and crash with runtime error or simply 4fps

Thanks to you, Maroon, for this special mod!
Our events are generally restricted to clan members, but naturally you'd be more than welcome, so we would have a chance to reproduce the bugs and you'd be able to directly witness what happens.
I'll make sure to record with OBS also the server screen so, even if that specific warning lines aren't in the log, I'll save them anyway.
I've sent you a friendship request, in case you'd wish a more quick contact!

Hey again Hektor, thanks for the testing. If I have the time for it, I'd definitely like to join one of your events. If it's open to the public, please feel free to share your events in our Discord server: https://discord.gg/pHGywnN

So far we tested: Crusaders (defender) vs Saracens (horde) in Stanley Fortress, Lord Of The Rings (defender) vs Mordor (horde) in Minas Tirith and Lord Of The Rings (defender) vs Isengard (horde) in Hornburg.

Note: it may be that naked agents named "Player" only appear as BOTs for the Lothlórien faction.

I'm sorry if I've so few details, I hope these bugs can be reproduced, or you may join us during one of our events, they're fun too!

I. When some of our allied agents get killed, they should respawn between the waves; sometimes this doesn't happen, instead I get a text wall on the server console (which I run on a PC next to my gaming tower). I've checked all the logs but there's no sign of the text that appears in this event and, since it scrolls so fast, it's impossible to read. I've just managed to get the words "defender bots" and some "warning". This also causes lag to the server, which ends with the beginning of the wave.
Then the problem goes away by itself: some waves later allied agents respawn without issue.

II. It happens rarely that some of them are naked and their name is "Player". Some other miss certain clothes, like a Templar Handgunner that misses his gambesome and has his torso naked.

III. Even if one doesn't select BOTs in the proper selection menu, he receives them when another player dies.

Greetings Maroon, I've made many more tests, together with my clan, the last was yesterday and we had a great siege of Hornburg thanks to your wonderful mod!

Problems with friendly BOTs, however, still happen. Fortunately there's no game breaking bug involved with them, but a strange behaviour indeed, here summarized:

omg!!! thank you!!!

You can press F11 to disable the HUD.

How do I disable all the HUD?

Thank you, I think we've noticed the "hug" bug too, but since we reposition our squads very often, it's an issue that comes and goes.
Actually the hug issue is more frequent with BOTs that aren't under control of anyone despite having selected allied troops in the spawn menu.
I'll make sure to save the log when our next LAN party will take place, thanks again!

The slay bot command does not touch allied bots, only enemy bots. If you can find any consistent pattern in the weird allied bot behaviour, let me know. We are aware of a bug related to them where they will sometimes "hug" a friendly player after that player accidentally hits them. This is a bug from the game itself, unfortunately, which we can't do anything about. That particular bug can be fixed by the player who controls the bot(s) performing the "hug"; they should tell the bots to hold a specific point. That will reset their behaviour, and afterwards they can be set to charge again.

As a preview, before the log, I can tell that while only one of us took command of a friendly BOT party, sometimes a few uncontrolled BOTs spawned and charged the enemy, some other times entire squads spawned under the command of another player who didn't selected any BOT to control, and sometimes they didn't spawn at all, and server freezed between waves (I saw lines of codes runnning, but unfortunately I wasn't able to take note and hadn't the log output activated). The map was Stanley Fortress and factions were crusaders (defending) vs saracens (waves). I noticed too that a templar handgunner didn't wear any cloths.
I'll be more precise with a log next time, and thanks for your help and your mod.

Thank you for your kind support, I saw that command, however we play with BOTs on our side too, so I didn't tried it fearing to slay one of our allies.

Actually, it wouldn't be a problem as they should respawn, however we encountered a few problems with allied BOTs spawn and command.
I planned to report them there but forgot to set an output log for registering and forwarding to you the exact error messages.

Anyway, let me know if that command may slay an allied too.

Yes, there is a "slay random bot" command in the admin panel. It slays a single random bot at a time, so as not to make it too easy to admin slay the entire invasion, but it should be able to handle single bots getting stuck in weird corners.

I'd take advantage of author's kind availability in answering and ask another question related to an issue that happened yesterday during my clan's LAN party with this mod: one of the enemies got stuck, in a way unknown, inside a wall, and there was no way to eliminate him. Maybe that an admin command could do so? We had to stop that match, unfortunately.

No, I wasn't playing last night, but nice to hear you had fun. Usually when I play you can recognize me by a blue username.

Thank you very much! Also I think we meet yesterday evening on that server... Were you the one who got surrounded by the whole horde but managed to pair all of their hit for some good five minutes? :D

Anyway, I'd like to specify that the server would be hosted only over my LAN for parties with my friends, not over the internet.

I'll follow your advice.

@Hektor Riven
The Twet server (which is usually the most populated server) has created a lot of their own maps, which I recon is where you played these maps that are not a standard part of the mod. If you have your own server and would like to host those maps, you can contact the Twet server admins, which is probably easiest to do through the FI2 Discord server: https://discord.gg/pHGywnN

Greetings and many thanks for the mod!

Are there any map packs for server administrators? I've noticed that many maps I play online are downloaded as aren't included in the client and server downloads.

Specifically, I'm very interested in some Lord Of The Rings and crusades settings; I know there is Dol Amroth because I played it today, and I've seen a YouTube video of people defending Edoras. I also wonder if there's a Jerusalem map as it's the mod's menu background.

Thanks in advance!
