Army Arrow Counter

Army Arrow Counter

This is a small, quality of life, open-source mod that gives you insight into the amount of ammunition remaining in your army. If you were the commander in a real medieval battle, you'd be able to ask your sergeants about the ammo status, but alas, Bannerlord has no such functionality. This is the next best thing to try and provide the player with crucial information they need to make the best tactical decisions!

Quick Info on Functionality:

• []Counts all ranged ammunition i.e. arrows, bolts, javelins, throwing axes, etc.

• []Upon entering a battle, counts the arrows of all allied troops. Subtracts arrows whenever your allies fire them, and subtracts/adds in bulk as soldiers die / are deployed in phases.

  []Soldiers being added or dying will effect the max arrows as well i.e. the displayed X / Y stat is for the alive and fighting troops in your army.

  Customization:

  • []This mod can be customized!

    []Specifically, the way that the mod tells you how many arrows are remaining is customizable (see images on this page for examples).

    []Inside ArmyArrowCounter/config/config.xml, you can change the text between <CounterType></CounterType> to any of the following options (also found inside the config file as a comment):

    []EXACT_FRACTION: e.g. 1258 / 1721

    []EXACT_PERCENT: e.g. 73%

    []NEAREST_10_PERCENT: e.g. ~70%

    []NEAREST_20_PERCENT: e.g. ~80%

    []NEAREST_25_PERCENT: e.g. ~75%

    []NEAREST_WRITTEN: e.g. "Your army has about three quarters ammunition remaining."

    []EXACT_FRACTION is the default behavior.

    []You can also control the prefix before the counter i.e. the "Army remaining arrows: " part. In the config.xml

    file, between the <Prefix></Prefix> tags, you can change the text to be what you want, including leaving it blank.

    Todo List:

    • []Count only soldiers under your command (i.e. exclude allied soldiers under AI command).

      []Make the UI element toggleable.

    • Provide in-game Mod Options menu. Would likely require the use of a modding framework, I'm not currently aware of any good options. This will thus be on hold until one comes about.
