Novus (Patreon)

Hello Patrons, 

As you are all aware, most of the Bannerlord players are using mods to make the game more fun for themselves. Whether they are some total overhauls or small tweaks - you probably do required mods for your playthrough. And having so many mods cause compatibility issues or requires knowing clashes and forces you to come up with your own load order all the time. This becomes especially problematic if you enjoy switching themes from now and then (i.e. like playing with Eagle Rising and switching to Native factions for another mod etc) 

And you require changing all this inside that limited mod launcher window that doesn't even properly resize or handle long lists. After seeing Jackie (Bannerlord Youtuber)'s comment on launcher 5 days ago, I decided to give it a go and create my own version for better handling of these issues. After working on this for ~3 days I would like to introduce, Novus - Bannerlord Launcher: A completely standalone launcher.

Main Features

- Scanning all the mods, including Steam Workshop mods

- Resizeable window along with full screen support.

- Preset selection drop-down that organizes your current load order based on preset you created previously and/or imported. 

- Search functionality - in case if you have too many mods.

- Being able to save mods to an existing preset, saving as a different preset or exporting it for other users to consume

- Configuring your presets - removing mods that you don't like etc

- Showing information about mods that require each other and giving opportunity for you to download mods from their provided source or from nexusmods by manually searching

- Unblocking all mod .dll files with one click so that you wouldn't get cannot-read error

- Accessing Bannerlord and Engine settings through one panel 

Installation

I created a simple installer for you that installs the launcher and creates a desktop icon. 

During the installation, just point to your Bannerlord folder as installation path i.e like C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Mount & Blade II Bannerlord/ and it will install the new launcher there. Installation should take 5 seconds at max, once it's done you should be able to see the icon on your desktop. If not, go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Mount & Blade II Bannerlord\NovusLauncher and find NovusLauncher.exe file

Unlike other mods, I probably will release this shortly to public, but I still wanted to give a chance for Patrons to get it early

Beware: Because this is "public" ready release, I obfuscated my code and this can be false flagged as virus by some heuristic anti viruses you use. You can dismiss that, it's safe. That being said, the decision to trust this is on you.
