An attempt at making some common functionality standard, including some in-line XMLDocs to make development a bit easier and cleaning up some of the hideous constructor gore that a lot of the API seems to be made of. It's still early days so I'm just adding things as I go.

Player Information

Currently it's not possible to use the launcher to re-order bannerlord mods, however you can manually set the load order of mods by running the Bannerlord.exe with the correct arguments, however that isn't ideal for most users so using a third party launcher that handles load order might be preferable in the short term.

Mod Developer Information

All you have to do is reference the assemblies you need (They should hopefully all remain entirely separate from one another) and add BannerLib as a dependency in your SubModule.xml file. Ensuring your users have this library load first is the most important, see the Player Information section for more details.

Available Namespaces:

Here are the available base namespaces in the BannerLib project - (each of them being a separate DLL) - The links will take you to further documentation.

• BannerLib.Gameplay - Wraps various common gameplay features to make adding/removing/changing gameplay behaviour simpler.
• BannerLib.Input - Simplifies and improves the input system and prevents mod collisions when multiple mods are registering hotkeys.
• BannerLib.Misc - Contains miscellaneous small helpers and documented wrappers for various API features.
• BannerLib.UI - An attempt to standardise some common UI additions/changes to prevent conflicts and remove the requirement for a large number of mods to override a single ViewModel.

Build Setup

This information is only for people building the project from source.

• Create a file named "paths.csproj" in the main folder (same folder as the README.MD)
• Paste in the code below

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Project ToolsVersion="15.0" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
<PropertyGroup>
	<GameBins>Path to the main bin/Win64_Shipping_Client folder.</GameBins>
	<BuildPath>Path to the desired build folder.</BuildPath>
    <ModuleDir>Path to the modules folder.</ModuleDir>
</PropertyGroup>
</Project>

• Replace the "Path to ..." with your paths, remember to add "\" at the end of the path!

Example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Project ToolsVersion="15.0" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
<PropertyGroup>
	<GameBins>G:\Steam\steamapps\common\Mount &amp; Blade II Bannerlord\bin\Win64_Shipping_Client\</GameBins>
	<BuildPath>G:\Steam\steamapps\common\Mount &amp; Blade II Bannerlord\Modules\BannerLib\bin\Win64_Shipping_Client\</BuildPath>
    <ModuleDir>G:\Steam\steamapps\common\Mount &amp; Blade II Bannerlord\Modules\</ModuleDir>
</PropertyGroup>
</Project>
