Bear My Banner

Bear my Banner

Share your banner designs here for an upcoming feature!

Description

Taleworlds decided to pull the implementation of banners for now, most likely because they don't work perfectly yet.

This mod places banners back in the troops' hands. Banners are equipped dynamically when a battle is loaded, no more item and troop list modifications and

no more tricking the troops into using the banner like a shield. This means compatibility with every™ other mod!

Many aspects of this mod are highly configurable using an in-game Mod Configuration Menu, but some optional configuration files are still in:

\Modules\BearMyBanner\ModuleData\

Open them with your favourite text editor. If you're using the Simple version, all the config files are in that folder. Read this configuration guide to understand what each setting does and what values you can change.

List of features:

• []Everything is highly customizable

  []Banners in field battles, sieges and hideout attacks, as well as in custom battles

  []Decide which and how many troops get banners. Also give banners to yourself, your companions and other nobles

  []Custom formation banners for the player's party. Off by default. Note that the game doesn't save the formations you assign to troops. You can use Fixed Formation Classes to circumvent this, just be careful with that mod and your savegames

  []Tournament banners for each team with various themes for each culture

  []Units will drop their banners under dire situations

• Banner carrier when visiting a village, town or castle

Which version should I use?

Try using the MCM version first, as it makes it changing settings more comfortable.

If you have many mods and you're having conflicts with ModLib and MCM, use the Simple version.

The game crashes at start

Probably having to do with blocked DLLs. Read how to fix that in this troubleshooting guide.

When multiple mods use ModLib and MCM the game may crash. When updating mods they may leave unused files behind that may crash the game.

MCM standalone is a requirement for this mod. If you still have problems, use the Simple version, which doesn't depend on anything and should just run fine.

What are the configuration files for?

If you're using the MCM version, the in-game menu handles most of the configuration you can tweak, but some settings can't be put there so you have to use the configuration files. They are always optional features and you're not required to edit them before playing.

If you're using the Simple version, all the configurations for this mod are in the ModuleData folder.

The configuration files are very easy to edit. Text editors like Notepad++, Sublime or Atom make it very easy because they color the different parts, but you can also do it with the regular Windows Notepad.

Mod is installed, but there are no banners

The default settings are tuned to be balanced and rewarding as your game progresses. If you're starting a new game it's not likely you'll see any banners. As soon as your army starts to grow and get experience you'll start seeing more and more banners. You can of course tweak the configuration files to your liking.
