Warband Configurator

Warband Configurator Configuration Manager

So what is the motivation for this document?

It seems like they don't make Linux their highest priority, the game crashes a lot but rarely you forget to save your progress. Setting up the dialogue is also a disaster.

Well, unfortunately I can't fix the crash, but the setup is easy to operate. I was able to create a standalone program that changes the game's settings according to your wishes. While we're working on it, why not expand the scope of the slider? So now, if you wish, all of your troops (like every one of them) as well as the enemy's troops will spawn at the start of the battle, and no reinforcements or new enemies will spawn silently behind the crossbow.

Linux, you say. So I can't use it on Windows?

It has never been used for Windows, but since it is compiled in Mono, you can run it on Windows. If you try to open the exe by double-clicking it, you're going to have a bad time. It requires Mono, which can be downloaded here, and you have to start it via mono.exe (usually located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Mono\bin\mono.exe).

In Windows, you can currently only view settings, but not edit them. The save button doesn't work and for some reason crashes the program.

What about Macs?

No. Just kidding, no one likes you... just kidding. If you launch the .exe via Mono, it may work fine if the config file has the same path as in Linux. I don't know if this is possible with linux binaries, though. If you try the Linux binaries on your Mac, please let me know how it goes! :)

Oh, one more thing: Bugs

This program is still in its early stages and somewhat experimental. It shouldn't break anything, but flaws are likely. It also doesn't contain every possible option, and is currently almost as crap as the default configuration window in the Linux version of the game. Combine them and you have the best of both worlds.

If it corrupts your config file, it always stores a copy of the previous version in "~/.mbwarband/rgl_config.txt~" (Linux/Mac) or "Documents\Mount & Blade Warband\rgl_config.txt~" (Windows). Yes, it's the same as the original filename, just containing that character at the end (note: it will be hidden in Linux; press Ctrl+H to show hidden files).

So what's the motives of this file?

It seems they haven't made Linux their highest priority, with the game crashing a lot, but rarely enough that you forget to save your progress. The settings dialogue is also a disaster.

Well, unfortunately, I can't fix the crashing, but the settings are quite easy to manipulate. I was able to create a stand-alone program altering the game's settings to your will. And while we're at it, why not extende the reach of the sliders? So now, if you wish, all (as in every single one of them) of yours as well as the enemies' troops will spawn at the start of a battle, and no reinforcements or new enemies silently spawning in behind you with crossbows.

Linux, you say. So I won't be abled to use it on Windows?

It was never intended for Windows, but since it was compiled in Mono, it is possible to run it on Windows. If you try to open it by double clicking the exe, you're gonna have a bad time, though. It requires Mono, which can be downloaded right here, and you'll have to launch it through mono.exe (usually located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Mono\bin\mono.exe).

In Windows, you'll currently only be abled to view the settings, but not edit them. The save button doesn't work, and will for some reason cause the program to crash.

How about Macs?

Nope. Nobody likes you anyway... Just kidding. If you launch the.exe through Mono, it might work if the configuration files are located in the same path as in Linux. I don't know if the linux binary would work, though. If you do try the Linux binary on Mac, let me know how it went!:)
