Need a bit of help

[AeroNinja]

Now that the Crusader: Way to Expiation mod is no longer being developed and the case is closed, I downloaded the OSP.

Could I install this OSP and overhaul my game? Cause the armor and all look really good and stuff.

I think you should first ask developers. Good luck.

Yes, you could overhaul your Native Warband, as long as you don't make it public.

You're going to need a program called OpenBRF. This will allow you to open BRF files which are not openable without this. You can load BRF files, mess around with them and save them. You can view meshes. You can import meshes that you have created and export meshes you wish to edit, and you can do basic editing (with roto-toto-rescale and other things).

Once you've downloaded that, get the Crusader OSP pack and replace the Resources, Textures and other stuff. But when you replace the Resources you'll need to get all the names in a list, might take some time. Then open module.ini in your Native folder. To make it easy for you, I'll create it, you just need to paste this anywhere in module.ini.

Copy and paste this wherever you like in module.ini

That was alot.

There is no easy way to do this, it will take a fair amount of time and some basic modding knowledge. The easiest way to edit text files is using Morgh's Editor, it's a free program that edits text files in an easier way, however it only changes these 5 text files:

- troops.txt -- Text file containing all soldiers
- item_kinds1.txt -- Text file containing all items
- parties.txt -- Text file containing city names
- party_templates.txt -- Text file containing parties (like bandits, manhunters etc etc).
- factions.txt -- Text file containing factions.

But this is just for basic editting, if you want to really edit the game I advise downloading the Module System. You can find plenty of tutorials around TaleWorlds and on YouTube for Morgh's Editor and Module System tutorials.

This is going to take some time, so you're going to have to be impatient. If you haven't modded before, you might find it quite difficult. You're also going to have to replace a lot of stuff... nothing much I can say really. Look on TW for tutorials and ask for help there, and also on Youtube.

Many many thanks!

I didn't know anything about modding in the start, it just takes time. Someone might make it though.

[AeroNinja]

But I'm sure I can make something of this with the help you gave.

Thanks for the help. Really appreciate it.
