FAQ
How do I access the Bannerlord Modding Kit?
- Currently, you can access the modding kit via Steam only. You can download the “Mount & Blade Bannerlord Modding Tools” from the Tools section of Steam. Note that the tools use some of the files downloaded within the game itself. As such, the tools and game should be at the same main version (not beta) and installed on the same hard drive.
- You can choose the Singleplayer option from the launcher and once you are in the Initial Menu, you can either press the Editor button or press the Ctrl + E key combination to start up the editor.
- Yes! Check out our official modding documentation.
- Check the “What makes a village scene checkpoint list” that was prepared by us specifically for this contest.
- We’ve added 3 village scenes (empire_village_003, battania_village_k, sturgia_village_l) to our Modding Kit. Feel free to check them via the scene editor as examples of good practice!
- No, use the native version of the game when creating your scene.
- Post your questions in the Modding Q&A area or join the modding discord.
Evaluation System
The submissions will be rated based on their performance in the following categories: Visuals, Design & Gameplay, Innovation. Once the submission end date is reached and the submissions are closed, the community team of handpicked experts will first check the submissions. The scenes will then be judged by a team of level designers and other developers at TaleWorlds Entertainment to determine the winners based on the following criteria:
- Visuals - How well the different scene features fit into each other, the composition of scene props, quality of ground texture and painting work, terrain realism, details and touches in different seasons.
- Design & Gameplay - How well the scene plays out while in a singleplayer raid and while visiting the village (includes evaluation of the performance, navmesh, entry points, walking distances,...).
- Innovation - The use of new and fresh concepts while designing the look, gameplay, and setting of the scene.
