Thanks for all the suggestions and attention. I'm not going to take any other suggestion since the mod itself is already delivered way more than it should and also because of the fact that I won't create new features and mods for the Bannerlord anymore. There is obviously a reason why I'm dropping this. But you can read all about this discussion in here if you want.
Most of the modders in nexusmods brought a lot of features to this game which should already be in the major game and the community itself started to gain a strange "modders will do it anyway" attitude. This is problematic. Modders are not here to "fix" the game. Modders can add additional content that can't be added by TW ( Such as roman conversion mods or Star Wars etc ) or they can add optional features. However, currently, average Bannerlord users always feel like they HAVE to use mods. If someone needs mods to use your product to enjoy, it basically means you are doing a terrible job.
I hoped that TW would change this ridiculous attitude towards its own community and modders. But it's clear that this is not their intention. Modders are not their free workforce. We are pouring hours/days/months of our free time and effort to create something enjoyable for the community. But if the main company is trying to block this or not lifting the roadblocks that they put intentionally, then there is a major issue with the mindset. And I won't be part of this circus and waste my effort.
And no, I won't release it's source code unless I somehow change my mind as well. Please don't ask for it and if you do, don't surprise when I say no.
Even though I'm deeply saddened by your decision, I can't help but agree with it. Every point you made about current TW aproach to both their product and their community is spot on... If, by any miracle, TW gets their act together (slim chance, but hey, one has to dream, right? ) I hope we will see more of your brilliant work.
Either way, I wish to thank you for all the hard work and creativity, that you poured into your mods. Thanks to you Bannerlord is much more immersive and enjoyable game. Best wishes on whatever lifepath you're going to take!
100% agree with you and support your decision. When I first got the game it didn't have any mods and to be honest I couldn't play the base game for more than 5 hours tops. The base game is just way too plain and boring. It offers almost nothing new compared to Warband, and those new features and not even fully developed or haven't reached their full potential.
I think I already commented on this one or one similar to it in the way that it adds a whole new concept to the game. I said that a mod like this should not even be a mod, it should be implemented in the game itself. Much like muscles and weight, why was that left out and had to be modded for them to add it? The modding community is LITERALLY the one and only reason Bannerlord has this many players and the modding community is the ONLY reason why this game will continue to grow after the official release.
I mean the ideas that the modding community come up with are just amazing, and honestly, most of these mods are things the developers could have done at a much quicker pace and a lot more efficiently and probably even better than a 1-2 person team that does not do this for a living.
To be completely honest, the only reason I was excited for this game is to see all the awesome mods that people will come up with. Little did I know that the modding community was gonna be the ones that are really developing the game and improving it. All TW does is provide the modding community with the tools and the modders do their work for them which improves their sales quite significantly and it's done free of charge for the company. It's honestly quite saddening. I had high hopes for the base game, but it is just absolutely boring when playing without any mods.
It's a shame to see it come to this point. I was looking forward to seeing this in 1.5.10, but your choice is completely understandable. When modders do more for the community than the dev team, just to get screwed over and hamstrung by broken "updates," it doesn't bode well for the future of the game. Right now, vanilla Bannerlord is great framework for a game, but not much more. Most of the depth comes in at the community level.
here is to hoping there is a slim chance Taleworlds supports their modders and community so that these essential mods can continue to make their game playable.
Thank you for all of your hard work and effort you've put into Freelancer I doubt I'll play single player without it. Just remember there are thousands of people that play, love and appreciate your passion projects like this one. Even if tale worlds doesn't.
If you do ever decide to carry on my only tidbit of feedback or thing I would change is the troop wages are insane. Maybe a configurable wage XML so weirdos like me can play while making the same as normal AI soldiers. xD
Thanks for your contribution and passion for the game. I, sadly, also agree with your statement, which is why I stopped making mods for the game as well a while back. I poke my head in every once in a while to see all the new developments, and it's consistently been the same. New mods and modders creating incredible works, and the game devs... just going deeper down what I consider a destructive path.
This has easily been my favorite mod for this game. It's a shame that this is where it ends but I'd like to thank you for your work. I'm sure most folks here understand and respect your decision ( I know I do), I only hope that you allow someone to carry the torch someday. Until then, best wishes.
stevensile - It means I won't publish any patch for new versions too. It's currently stable in 1.5.9. Not working properly at 1.5.10. If they release 1.5.10 before I uninstall the development environment from my PC, I can give one last update at most, but no promises.
I've played PLENTY of hours of Bannerlord and not ONCE used a mod! Maybe you are just too picky or too GD entitled and think the game should have all these things that might be nice but NOT EVERYONE is going to like!
Now I have NO PROBLEM with anything this person has done! The attitude though, acting like this mod is THE ONLY REASON people are playing Bannerlord, just killed every bit of excitement I had of using this mod, maybe any for that matter! People need to stop bitching about Taleworlds and let them do the game they way they are doing it, make SUGGESTIONS NOT DEMANDS about what you would like to see it might actually be fruitful but again, SUGGESTIONS NOT DEMANDS!
jerrodowex You are spamming with double posts. First of all, I didn't say my mod is fixing the game? I didn't say they should add this too. Read the discussion and you will understand what is the main issue - or don't read it, I actually really don't care. I'm tired of explaining things. We already did make the suggestions. Many times. Many and many times. And my mods are coming from the suggestions and seeing that they won't be implemented in the base game unless TW sees proof. So what kind of other suggestions are you looking for? Do you want me to fly a plane with suggestions over the Taleworlds' office in Ankara? If you think Bannerlord is perfect, please go ahead and play the game. Don't waste your time in nexusmods. And this is not sarcasm. You might like the game, I honestly don't care or try to change your mind about this. But don't come here with your ignorant attitude and telling us what to say or what not to say and advise us to suggest things which was the thing we did in last one year continuously.
So let me write it in your style so you can understand it. This is my FREE TIME and MY effort. You can choose NOT to use the mod. That's fine. But you CANT tell me what to say or what to do - you are NOT ENTITLED to do that. And I DON'T have to show sympathy to any game company out there and I DON'T have to like the game just because you liked it.
I hope it's clear for you. If you continue with this I will block you because you are one of those types who think you are entitled to meddle with what we are doing and saying.
this is very sad to see i really hope this sends some sort of message atleast to the devs that they gotta get their s#*! together im going to post a steam review saying this
NOOOOOO!!!!! This is THE BEST MOD!! I've had so much fun with your mod, please don't give up. At least do what's needed to keep it working as the main game versions update! Perhaps when BL goes full release things will be better? This just sucks, RUINED MY DAY!
Would it be possible to get together with other modders and make a stand that you'll all just stop at a certain patch/update and just keep updating/having it work for that until they decide the developers start to get their **** together. or would that not work either? That way people who want to play with your mods can and the modders will have less work of trying to fix for each patch? I don't know much about modding but I want to see this work out well for modders and the community.
I'd be willing to chip in for this mod if it will get updated. All TW had to do was hiring a couple of more people to add such features, but NO... I'd be grateful even they released an expansion pack with these modded features and gave credits to the modders. Shouldn't be that hard.
1.6.0 has changes for modders coming. Progress is slow, but this is still an Early Access. Change is coming, but not overnight. Thank you for your mod you are doing bloctheworkerbloc Tbh, your mod is one of my favs! In time I hope you expand on it, with the new and more coming additions TW makes for modders! https://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php?threads/e1-6-0-modding-adjustments-access-modifiers-changes.443896/
I'm one of those people who like this mod very much. I want you to continue to improve. Patch 1.6.0. Weapon forging system and many more systems are very interesting to play. But it's a pity that he did not play as a soldier under the general Another reason the salary of soldiers is very low. I recommend adding more. will be able to establish Or make a system as a mercenary to enter the army to follow like mercenaries at the tavern using our weapons
Jerrodox might not feel feel that way but a lot of us do.
He can piss off with that attitude.
I'll hop back into Bannerlord once 1.6 becomes the stable branch, hopefully your mod is still compatible, bloc, because it adds a feature I expected to be in the base game.
thank you for what you have done for this community. I understand why, I wish Taleworld was a better company. while it is playable with out mods modders should be pulling a paycheck with the number of bug fixes, quality of life, and features they have added.
dam, this is my favorite mod too i appreciate the time and work effort you put into this mod i have a long list of mods unchecked but this is the best by far, thank you for this masterpiece.
I find it sad but you have your reasons (and they are quite justified). I thank you for the hours of pleasure you gave me on this game and wish you a good continuation.
I read everything to this point..but now that 1.6 is out I see they have made many variables Public instead of internal which should allow for easier coding..I think it's like 140 or more that they've updated.
Would this make you come back or what would ever make you return?
You have a mistake in the description. Where about languages. In Russian, write "Мод поддерживает русский язык патч/русификатор не требуется."It will be more correct
About returning back to modding etc, I won't do that. I appreciate the support and requests but nothing has changed and I have zero interest in Bannerlord modding at the moment. I'm checking this site and forum occasionally to answer questions that are people asking
Can anyone tell me if this latest mod version will work with the current Stable 1.5.10 or the current 1.6.0 version of the game? I wish things were different as this mod was awesome. I am saddened but also respect the rights of the creator to do as he pleases with his IP. I just wish things were different and wish to say thank you once again to Bloc. I wish you all the success in the world.
It is unfortunate it has gotten to this point. I used to do modding in the past. I had to stop for other reasons, but I honestly believe as things stand with game development companies throwing unfinished or broken games out on the market, the game modders fixing broken games or finishing unfinished product should be entitled to a class action lawsuit against these companies. The modding community has become the standing backbone of big companies game releases. For big companies, why make sure a game work before release if modder will make it work. I hope modders get the resect and recognition they deserve, and at this point many deserve to be paid for their services
What a shame, i just started playing bannerlord again since i found your mod very enjoyable and i just dumped a lot of hours into it the last week. Spent the evening catching up about what has happened on the forums and im dissapointed but i understand why you would quit.
jerrodowex You may be fine, but what about the rest of us? Don't talk as if you're the majority, look around in this forum and you'll see how small of a vocal minority you are, now go back to your den.
Well I can say that from version to version, even if some things changed, the "few lines of code" can turn into a total overhaul, and this applies to my personal experience with small mods, for such a big one it can be a Nightmare to do and time consuming, as I'm sure most modders develop their mods with little time off of their work.
Since I blocked that last person, I think it's time for blocking the commenting for this thread. I won't block posting for the mod because some people do share information and help/report stuff along the way.
For anyone else who thinks they are entitled to tell me what to do and how to react about my own code and my own free time: If you comment even a single line of toxic comment in here, I will gladly block you from my all content whenever I see it. Just because I left modding for this game doesn't grant you the privilege to become an asshole. Keep that in mind.
You want your language to be officially supported in the mod? Check NOTUSED-ONLY-FOR-TRANSLATIONenglish.xml file in ModuleData/Languages and reach out to me with DM - initial translation could be slightly time-consuming but worry not, the rest of the translations will be easy.
Compatibility and Other Mods Feel free to comment in the posts section about the mods you encountered that there is an issue or/and they published an optional patch. De Re Militari - Published an optional patch for Freelancer - which fixes the multiple branch issue.
So far almost all mods seem to be compatible with Freelancer. It's usually a matter of how you load them and which versions you use. Still there are some that are not compatible for sure - for those, simply report under the posts section so that we can know.
Have suggestions? Write here -> Forum Tab I'm not taking any other suggestions anymore. I won't add anything new to this mod. Development is discontinued.
Known Issues: - Reported by KizoOo14 and verified: Don't use Smithy in Hideout, at 1.2.5 version, it's not working and causing a crash. - Disable Generals from config. It's not working anymore, TW changed something that broke the functionality. - In 1.2.4.8 don't take a leave of absence. If you do, your kill counts won't go up until you leave the army. This bug is fixed in 1.6.0 version

Hi Everyone, I'm getting an issue where when I join an army, notifications span constantly saying x person has declared war on me, but it repeats, like it will say 10 notifications then repeat them, and so fast itll go up to 2000 notifications in 20 seconds. Anyone else had this issue or have a have a fix?
Came back to Bannerlord after some time with it cooking, my must have mod is currently discontinued :'( RIP to the mod and I wish the author all the best in these trying times :(
Hey Bloc, gone are the days from the beginning with freelancer, distinguished service with a few attributes mods i remember and enjoyed so well as good times. Playing as a soldier in eagle rising or huaxia or tetsojin was great times working your way up. We gamers really need this barebone working freelancer back hard, it was such an improvement.
Serve as soldier took over and it was good at start, but then extra finessess made it crash alot along the updates. And i can say today i would prefer freelancer over it. Same opinion i got about distinguished service, the barebone was better.
I hope you stop care about the taleworlds mega slow progression and make the playing community happy.

I too left Bannerlord nexus for a time after someone copied my mod and published as another name.
Anyways, lets hope that TW gets their stuff together and stop releasing broken patches.
Another reason the salary of soldiers is very low. I recommend adding more. will be able to establish Or make a system as a mercenary to enter the army to follow like mercenaries at the tavern using our weapons
He can piss off with that attitude.

Your contributions will be missed by many.
I hope you can find a reason to return one day.
