Merging:
NOTE: If the following instructions don't work for you, or you get bugs, or other issues — please, don't ask me for help. I will not be explaining how to make it work with other mods, because I'd have to go digging through the files and re-learn everything related to Mount & Blade modding. You might as well do it all yourself — that would be just as effective, if not more. If you don't want to learn by trial and error (the way I did it), go to TaleWorlds forum, there are some guides and tutorials that might help you. But don't expect somebody to just give you an easy solution… when it comes to modding this game, *everything* is more complicated than it should be.
To install this replacer into a non-native module, extract everything as usual, but don't overwrite "module.ini". Instead, open this file (the one your module's folder) with any text editor, find the section in which every line starts with "load_resource" (may also include "load_mod_resource" or "load_module_resource"), and add the following lines to the top:
Next, remove each of the following lines:
Lastly, make sure that other BRF-files specified in "module.ini" do not contain meshes or texture references with the same names as the ones in my mod. If there are conflicts, you may experience severe graphical glitches. In that case, use OpenBRF to open the BRF-files, check for conflicts, and remove the conflicting entries.
A bit of history:
Iboltax's mod is currently the only mod I'm aware of that makes men look semi-decent in Warband. Broken_one and Barf's female face replacer was also the only thing availible for the longest time, and while I wouldn't say it looks ugly (miles better than vanilla!), it gives women grotesquely tall foreheads. You can only imagine how ecstatic I was to discover Adeline and Waswar's mod, which not only looks much better than the what I had before, but also fixes the foreheads. Unfortunately, nobody seemed to care enough to combine it with Iboltax's mod, so I decided to do it myself. I accomplished this almost entirely through trial and error (as well as a bit of logical thinking), as I don't exactly know how to mod Warband.
