📋 About This Mod

Original mod:

Stronger Retinue Members and Better Cart

Made by cleverfool97

Cart upgrade you can separately find here:

Cart Upgrade

Made by Flash2

Requirements: Modding Script Hooks and MSU.

1. 0. - Fixed original mod, decompiled files to make them changeable without additional steps by anyone with editor programs (notepad++, sublime text, atom, etc.)

2. 0. - Remaked fix, now it based on Modding Script Hook and requires it for work. Also adopted this fix with Scout Gives Report mod, requested by anl93 in comments.

2. 1. - Due to a reported bug by smaxy3, I slightly changed the code to fix it, but this may slightly slow down the game.

3. 0. 0. - Added MSU, now you can change mod settings as you wish for your own unique experience

3. 0. 1. - Fixed bug in Lookout code which was made during adaptation with  Scout Gives Report mod.

3. 0. 2. - Fixed critical bug, remade settings menu to make it more useful.

3. 0. 3. - Fixed bug again, changed in game mod's name and in code mod's name.

3. 0. 4. - Added settings to almost every retinue member in game, except Alchemist, because a lot of mods change him and i don't have now time to make compatibilities, will do in next updates. Also changed code, so it will work right after your changes in settings.

3. 0. 5. - Fixed bug in Lookout companion, he didn't give you information about footprints when hired, also made code that will make settings changes be displayable in game immediately.

INSTRUCTION:

0. Delete Mod_Rebalanced_Retinue from your Battle Brothers/data folder (If installed).

1. Download new version of file, it now have different title, different file name and different in code name.

2. Paste it in your Battle Brothers/data folder without unzipping.

Tip 1: for now mod doesn't have any functionality, that requires BBparser, so you can use mod without it. After some testing i get this:

MSU has 2 systems of mod's settings saving, it's thru BBparser and ingame flags. The second one is always in priority, so, even if you use BBparser, and even if it didn't parsed settings change from log.html file and didn't changed settings file of mod by some cause, mod will load saved settings from inner flags of your game savefile.

Tip 2: after any change in mod's settings menu and click "Apply" or "Save" immediately save your game, it will change flags that are saved in your game savefile and settings will work for this exact savefile.

Tip 3: after testing i founded, that ingame flags will be created in savefile if you run game without working BBparser and rewrite your save at least once. Since that moment flags will be created and all gonna work. If you didn't rewrite your savefile at least once with not working BBparser, numbers will load from working BBparser.

⚠️ Cons

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure you install Modding Script Hooks and MSU first, then drop this mod into your data folder.

  • If you're using other mods that touch retinue members, test this one in a separate save to avoid conflicts.
