Sound The Alarm

Sound The Alarm

Bannerlord Alert System

Sound The Alarm aims to bring the important information to the player by displaying a popup automatically if one of their fiefs are under attack (either directly owned by the player, or if the player is the leader of the kingdom whose fiefs are under attack) and when a war/peace declaration is signed, either by the AI, or by the faction that the player is currently in.

Helpful for those who might miss the small banner that appears when one of the fiefs are raided/under siege, or the message that appears as text in the bottom left when war/peace is declared.

By default, when the popup appears the game is paused automatically. This functionality however can be toggled on/off via the config file, or by using ModLib or Mod Configuration Menu v4 (depending on the version).

As of Version 1. 0. 6, Sound The Alarm now contains a version that fully integrates ModLib for easily changing mod values in-game.

As of Version 1. 5. 1a, the ModLib integration is replaced with Mod Configuration Menu v4 as a dependency to reduce issues with Mod updates breaking the mod/game.

If you enjoy the mod, leaving a comment or endorsement is the best way to show your support.

How to use

At any time, if one of your fiefs are attacked either under siege or being raided, an alert will show up informing you that this is the case and you can respond either by closing the window, or by selecting the 'Track' option to track where that fief is located. Likewise, whenever a war is declared or when peace is signed between empires.

Installation

Install via Vortex mod manager or by dragging and dropping the SoundTheAlarm folder into the Mount & Blade II Bannerlord/Modules folder.

For those using the ModLib Integrated version, you will need to have ModLib installed and loaded before Sound The Alarm.

For those using the Mod Configuration Menu v4 dependent versions, you will need to have MCMv4 and it's dependencies (Harmony, ButterLib, and UIExtender) installed and loaded before Sound the Alarm. ModLib is no longer required for this version.

Unblock .dll files for each of your mods

Sometimes, Windows will automatically block downloaded .dll files from the internet for security reasons. As Bannerlord uses .dll files for modding, it is worth checking to see if this issue is happening with you.

• []Go to Mount & Blade II Bannerlord\Modules folder.

  []In this folder contains the mods .dll files, right-click the .dll (for multiple .dll files do them one at a time) and click Properties
