IBRR Community Fixes (WIP)

I've compiled together the existing fixes for IBRR (made by MarcoAurelio82 and Abdülmecid I), plus created new assets as some were missing (like the PIPs for Arianism, for example).
All the agents, diplomats and spies are now using models matching their UIs, I've created some new models.
Ships are using Riczu's models.
IBRR Community Fixes (WIP) file - Invasio Barbarorum: Ruina Romae mod for Rome: Total War - Barbarian Invasion - Mod DB

The fixes are designed with non-scripted campaign in mind (so the construction times are rebalanced for 2tpy and script is disabled).

_TotalWar_ thank you!

Fixes updated.
The main thing is that I've regenerated sprites for all units to solve the corrupted sprites issue (transparent sprites) of original mod. Now everything should work fine.
It is recommended to delete IBRR/data/sprites before applying this patch - to save some space (around 200 Mb)
Other updates:
- Fixed the crashes related to pseudo-mercenary units: Abasgian warrior, Levy Spearmen (Jund), Greuthungi Lancers, Sarmatian Argaragantes, Transoxanian Nomad Tribal Spearmen
These units are not mercenaries, but the original devs used them as pseudo-mercenaries in descr_mercenaries file, resulting in game crashes when some factions hire these units.
- Fixed wrong links to battle banners (i.e. routing banners for the Sassanids, and others)
- Fixed wrong commentaries in barbarian_invasion_regions_and_settlement_names.txt (thanks to wypher)

This is 100% my fixing at least for 3 units out of 5 (not sure about Jund Spearmen and Sarmatian Argargantes, that I have fixed about the wrong Cartabian Cricle: I should check, but I'm totally sure about the 3 other units you name). And I have correrted some other units "mixed in a wrong way" related in some way with Greuthungi Lancers: some goths lancers in .txt coding files were messed up: it's an important correction related to this units (also about crash bugs).

I have also made a very deep work (historical and bug fixing) regions and settlements names (you name it in another post here), also fixing a bug about two cities with the same name (Ceaserea: I have separated them in the script) and probably also some regions scripted more than one time for cities. And I have corrected some borders regions maps too.
I have also made a tons of othes fixing/updates (also about copies of units in recruitemente system; a very deep work (and related to bugs) about King/heirs/generals starting campaing now fixed for almost all factions (I have also fixed "culture" error scripts in this kind of work); fixed missed or wrong graphic works etc. etc.
I'm not sure what you have used about my work (considering what I have quoted here above). But for sure, what I have named about mercenaries has been corrected by me. I would understand it (what you have used), so I can take what I think is useful from your patch, without to lose my improvements (when I play). And if you have used a lot of my work, credits should be given in a right way.

Thank you and Lamjane for your hard work. It's really impressive.

I will install it when you have the definitive version, because I have many campaing begun already.

On other hand, I'm wondering if it could be possible to change the recruitment of the unique region mercenaries (like the Chosroid units of Albania and Georgia) by AOR units to recruit in sentlements? Maybe in "mercenary barracs"? Personally, I think it would have more sense and make more feasible to use them in campaing.

I get a CTD in a lot of battles as WRE, but not all of them. The loading bar will load go part of the way and then CTD, no error or anything, i've had this problem in two campaigns fighting Visigoths and ERE, and I reinstalled the fix, to no avail. Im playing on Steam

I think I found the problem, the patch file for the steam version that stops the CTD (https://www.twcenter.net/forums/down...o=file&id=4639) dosen't seem to be compatible with the community fixes, any idea how to fix this?

basically, the Sagitarii Graves and VIsigothic heavy cavalry aren't assigned a model, if you could fix, I woyld greatly appreciate it, this is truly a wonderful addition to the mod and this is my only technical issue i've had so far.

Specifically, the Gothic Cnithe and Horde Gothic Cnithe are the problem, if someone here could please direct me to their locations in the descr_model_battle.txt file so I can give them another units model, I would greatly appreciate it

I found a work around for the Sagitarii Graves, using the regular roman archer model for them, hower, the Gothic Cnithe and Horde Gothic Cnithe are the problem, if someone here could please direct me to their locations in the descr_model_battle.txt file so I can give them another units model, I would greatly appreciate it, I have looked all over and can't find it.

Alr so a reinstal of the mod fixed the Gothic Cavalry problem but the Sagitarii graves still caused a CTD and I had to give them a new model myself
