Thannk you for that guide ! <3

Works perfectly fine.
Now i can go online again and play with friends together again.

Thanks for the guide, and we're looking forward to the planned changes! Only having to copy the files that we actually changed and allowing mods that do not change the same files to load together would already go a long way!

This is a great guide the ability to have different versions inside the same mod is awesome. Something ill use so thank you for that.

You can create a Mod Folder and combine Mods you want to use, to get around the one Mod limit.

- Locate the folders 'Defs', 'Maps' and 'Texts' from the game directory.
- Copy those folders into C:\Users\youruser>\AppData\LocalLow\BlackSeaGames\Sovereign\Saves\Mods\"Make a Folder with the name of the mod"
- Extract the Files you want to add into the folder to the correct path.
- add a "base_checksum.txt" to it (you can grab the one f.e. from the "Unit Size" mod)
- activate the mod ingame
- done

You can add folders/datas from other mods into this folder to combine those mods, since you can only activate 1 mod at the time ingame.
I, f.e. combined "Knights Aging" and "Unit Size" while also added the "Skill.def" from the "Halves the cost of books to assign a all skill perk"-mod into it. Works like a charm now.

Hope this helps.
Cheers

I want to translate it into English, but I'm stuck. i copied the texts folder to the mods folder and started translating the main menu, but the translation doesn't appear in the game. but the preolad sentences are translated. why?

[bombadillo]

can someone write a short description on how to make a language mod? it's different in every game, and it would be a great relief if i didn't have to figure it out. i would be very grateful.

Will there be e KoH workshop and easy mod installing/playing ?

[bombadillo]

if I want to compile it, do I need the Defs folder, or is the Texts folder enough?

[Tonecas]

they are grey and with the line across the name

after the update you need the new base_checksum.txt in your mod folder

I'm sorry if I ask stupid questions that nobody answers?I'm trying to translate it into English, but the original and translated texts are completely unpredictable. Can I create a new language in languages.def? or some other way? Or can I overwrite an existing language?
I would be very grateful if someone could answer.

[bombadillo]

obviously not for English, for Hungarian
