SkaldFixer

SkaldFixer is a straightforward utility designed to automatically fix a recurring issue in Skald’s settingsX.xml

file when working with Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 mods.

What problem does SkaldFixer solve?

When launching Skald to edit your own mods, users often encounter an error that prevents the project from loading. This is caused by Skald saving all projects in the settingsX.xml

file but omitting the required DatabaseSchema attribute for newly created projects. Without this attribute, Skald cannot load custom mods properly.

Since Skald regenerates this XML file every time the application is closed, the error reappears repeatedly, forcing users to manually fix the file every session.

How does SkaldFixer help?

SkaldFixer scans the settingsX.xml

file automatically each time it runs, detects missing DatabaseSchema attributes in <SkaldProject> elements, and adds the correct attribute DatabaseSchema="kcd2". It saves the updated file in place, so you don’t have to edit anything manually.

Additionally, SkaldFixer launches the Skald editor automatically after applying the fix, streamlining your modding workflow.

Usage

• []Place SkaldFixer.exe in the same folder as your settingsX.xml and the target application executable (e.g., Skald2.exe). Usually this is in ../SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/KCD2Mod/Tools/Skald

  []Run SkaldFixer.exe.

  []The tool will update the settingsX.xml file and then start the target application automatically.

  • []Automatically detects and fixes missing DatabaseSchema attributes.

    []Prevents crashes and loading errors in Skald projects.

    []Saves changes directly to the original settingsX.xml

    file.[]Optional automatic launch of the Skald editor after fixing.

    []Simple, lightweight, and easy to use.
