📋 About This Mod



Achievement Un(bloc)ker

If you are here, you are probably playing with mods. And you should know that you can't earn Steam Achievements with mods (or with cheat, or if you are playing Sandbox). This mod changes that. So in essence, this is a mod that unblocks mod-blocks.

What it does exactly?

- With or without mods, cheats, this mod enables you being able to get achievements like you normally should

- Removes requirement of "Story Mode" for earning achievements. If you are playing Sandbox and don't want to bother with Bannerlord's boring lore unfriendly Story Mode, then you can use this mod to earn achievements like you normally should.

- It fixes supposedly working achievements for both Sandbox and Story Mode

Fixed Achievements: "Entrepreneur", "Explorer", "Ride it like you stole it", "This Is Our Land"

Moved MP Achievements to SP:  "LanceAlot", "SlicenDice", "MountedArchery", "This is Sparta!", "Strike!", "Catch"

Why am I releasing this?

It took half an hour tops, so it didn't took much of an effort.

And, yes. Blocking achievement earning while mods are on might make sense for other games. But in Bannerlord, where mod usage is almost absolute necessity, this restriction is just annoying.

I might update this in the future if it requires update - I'm hoping that TW won't do anything funny to disable this mod functionality.

Installation

Extract the archive to a folder.

Take AchievementUnblocker folder and put it to your Modules folder (..steamapps\common\Mount & Blade II Bannerlord\Modules).

Load order doesn't matter, but don't be a hero, load it after Official modules.

If you are getting "Cannot load .../AchievementUnblocker.dll" error

1. Go to Mount & Blade II Bannerlord\Modules\AchievementUnblocker\bin\Win64_Shipping_Client

2. Right click to AchievementUnblocker.dll, click Properties

3. Click Unblock on the bottom. You are all set. Or just google "How to unblock DLL files"

In theory, this mod should work for Steam, Epic and GOG Version of game. But I cannot check anything outside of Steam, so let me know if they fail to work somehow.
