📋 About This Mod

UPDATED for 1. 2. 9

After a long time I finally managed to get it to work with the current version. Should be compatible with all recent Bannerlord versions (at least since 1. 2. 7).

I have tested as extensively as I could both in my ongoing campaign and a fresh one and everything should be working ok, but if anything is broken please let me know in the comments and I'll do my best to fix it.

Two-handed mace pieces have also been slightly nerfed to match the ones introduced in the vanilla game.

The Mod

This mod adds 25 new crafting parts to the smithy that can be used together with the vanilla parts. It also adds a few weapons using these parts for those who want the new content but don't want to bother with the smithy (the focus of the mod is on crafting parts though). Among the parts added are a few two-handed mace heads as I felt the game was lacking these. Most of the parts are realistic and lore-friendly with the main exception being the Buttering Ram. For that reason a version without it is available for those who find Swadian engineering to be immersion-breaking.

Both the crafting parts and the items using them are compatible with existing saves.

Installation

Just extract the ExcalibutterCraftingParts folder to your modules folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Mount & Blade II Bannerlord\Modules (or wherever you have Bannerlord installed). Then tick "Excalibutter Crafting Parts and Weapons" on the module list. Make sure you are loading the mod after the vanilla modules. Do not rename the mod folder or it will crash.

Q&A:

Q: Is this mod compatible with mod X?

A: It should be compatible with any mods except those that modify crafting pieces. This mod changes crafting pieces in the vanilla category rather than creating its own (since it adds pieces for multiple different weapon types the latter wouldn't make much sense) therefore it might conflict with another mod that changes crafting parts in the vanilla categories. Anything else should be ok.

Q: Does this mod work with version X?

A: The mod should work with any future version. In case that doesn't happen I plan to keep it updated to work with the latest version.

Q: The mod is crashing my game since X patch.

A: Make sure you've downloaded the newest version (v 3. 0 for Bannerlord 1. 2. 9). I'll do my best to keep it updated for future patches but I'm not much of a coder so I make no guarantees that I'll always be able to do so. There shouldn't be more major changes to how weapons/pieces work so it should work fine from now on.
