Calradia Forge ModKit

Calradia Forge brings development tools together into an integrated Bannerlord panel and an external Windows application. Its goal is to facilitate the creation and maintenance of mods, from simple changes to projects with multiple dependencies.

Authors can consult logs, review module issues, compare data before and after a change, and run test scenarios. Furthermore, its SDK allows a mod to provide reusable functions to others through compatible interfaces and versions.

The code and files use English as the primary language. The integrated panel detects Bannerlord's language and uses available translations, with English as a fallback.

To open the in-game menu, use F10.Features

• []Windows application: Scans folders without launching the game and queries active sessions. [/]

  []Module diagnostics: Detects missing dependencies, cycles, missing declared DLLs, and malformed XML.[/]

  []Dependency analysis: Proposes a load order and distinguishes incompatibility warnings from confirmed errors.[/]

  []Centralized logs: Queries and filters messages from Forge and the extensions that use its SDK.[/]

  []Game inspector: Queries heroes, clans, parties, items, troops, and battle agents.[/]

  []Snapshots: Preserves selected properties and compares their changes.[/]

  []Testbed: Executes scenarios with setup, assertions, and cleanup, either individually or in batches.[/]

  []Shared libraries: Allows publishing and consuming services between mods, with contract, version, and lifecycle checking.[/]

  []Metrics: Records test duration, instrumented events, and update times.[/]

  []Reports: Exports results, logs, and snapshots in JSON and HTML.[/]

  []Basic Harmony querying: Identifies patched methods when present, without modifying third-party patches.[/]

  []Developer examples: Includes tests for inventory, troop creation and retirement, and communication between a provider and a consumer.[/]
