Installation guide for Banner Kings mod for 1.1.5
Hey guys, I had trouble getting Banner Kings to work and there's a few outdated guides out there. There's also a few quirks that less patient people may not figure out when trying to manually install the Banner Kings mod and all it's other required mods.
So I'm making a guide that will hopefully show up when people Google ''How to install Banner Kings.''
The program WinRAR is required to extract the mod archives. Other programs like 7zip for some reason corrupts the files on extraction. If you ignore this advice and 7zip throws an error after extraction, the mod will simply not work.
Extraction and file structure guide by yours truly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iz1d2_ElyV0
Step 1.
Head over to:
https://www.nexusmods.com/mountandblade2bannerlord/mods/3826?tab=description
Download Banner Kings and Banner Kings Assets under the FILES tab.
Extract both archives. Copy the files from inside the ''Banner Kings Assets'' folder into the ''BannerKings'' folder. Why this is split up, I have no idea.
--------
Step 2.
Download and extract the other required mods including.
*ButterLib*
*Harmony*
*Mod Configuration Menu*
*Open Source Armory, Open Source Saddlery and Open Source Weaponry (for 1.1.5)*
*UIExtenderEx*
Some of the mods above say they require Bannerlord Software Extender (BLSE). This is not the case and does not need to be downloaded.
Some of the archives will have the actual mod folder inside a folder named MODULES. Make sure to copy out the folder within that MODULES folder.
--------
Step 3.
Where do I copy the mods to?
The default installation path for STEAM is:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Mount & Blade II Bannerlord
You can also open up Steam right click the game in your library > Select properties > Installed files > BROWSE.
You should get a file list like this:

Click on the MODULES folder and copy all the extracted mods into that folder.
Once complete this is what your MODULES folder should look like:

Step 4.
Launch the game and make sure all the mods are checked within the launcher under
SINGLEPLAYER > MODS
Now you should be good to play.
