Maybe he has different music in the video, but the music of crusaders is the free software song played with piano.

You need to update the 2nd pack, because it still has Romans in it.

I will remove it in the next release.

Good   Maybe try to include the old bug faction in one of the packs?

[ElimiNator]

Hmmm, it is pretty bad, like the models, particles, textures, and icons...

Also if you know of any bugs in the packs please speak up so I can fix them.

[ultifd]

Right, I forgot to say to fix them up first...we should try to make a list of factions in the packs that are good enough and the others that needs fixing.
Yes, of course I will.

[ElimiNator]

Re-doing the bugs faction is a very low priority.
I want to fix bugs in the 5 packs first.

[ElimiNator]

Vbros pack 3 updated.

I am fixing pack 1 first, Please if you have any reports tell me.

[ultifd]

Chess? Cool. Please update the wiki.

[ElimiNator]

Updated.

Feed back on all vbros factions please.

[John.d.h]

What did you change?

[ElimiNator]

I added chess, penguins in now in the pack with some minor adjustments.

[titi]

Please add vbros pack5 to the mod download center so technical less advanced people can play it. 
And beside of this, Fatal error always wants to play this with someone! 

[ElimiNator]

I will as soon a the update is done.

Hi guys today i played some factions from the vbros pack (the one with british,canadians,pirates and western). I downloaded them and unzipped it, i put the factions in the correct megaglest folder and loaded the game. (I didnt use the mod centre in mg to install them). When i launched the game i opened a game me vs 3 ai. The game was british vs canadians vs pirates vs western. During the loading of the game i didnt have problems (so i dont think it's an error about missing something). But when i saw the pirate faction at the end of the game (i like playing without fog of war) i saw that the pirate had only 2 "boxes of gunpowder" and a pirate (but got killed the first seconds by an enemy ai), so the buildings and the workers weren't loaded! I think if i was missing something (for example techtree) i could not play the others factions that use the same techtree. I got this problem 2 times today and both of the times pirates had problems, so i dont know if it's only a thing about pirates or maybe a bug in megaglest? I took two screenshots:

The game (notice the 2 "boxes of gunpowder, they are the only 2 thing loaded with the pirate)

Greetings. (im on windows xp)

Yes, sorry for this its a bug in pirates, nothing to do with MG.

If you go into the pirates tech and open the "pirates.xml"

It will be this:

Code: [Select]

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>

<faction>
<starting-resources>
<resource name="gold" amount="500"/>
<resource name="wood" amount="500"/>
<resource name="stone" amount="500"/>
<resource name="food" amount="100"/>
</starting-resources>
<starting-units>
<!--unit name="reck" amount="0"/>
<unit name="pirate" amount="0"/>

Change to this:

Once again sorry, I will upload a fix soon.

What's with the commented out part? You'd just get a single cutlass fighter because the rest is a comment.

[Pizza90]

Dont worry ^^ i opened the pirates.xml and it looked like the first code, so i copied the second code on that file instead of the first one, saved and tried, but now i get 1 pirate, and i get "you have lost the game" (because there are no buildings). :/
