Bugfixes

[trubble]

Hi there, I can see that the issue of Ice Dragons causing the game to crash when they die has been noted but I do not understand what I am supposed to do to fix it. I don't know anything about modding or coding, I just play. I have the most up to date version on Steam, what else do I need to do?

Are these fixes just for coders or is there a solution for general members of public too?

These are for the general public! Just get the files as directed, and extract them (with winzip, winrar, or whatever) to the folder he mentions in the first post.

Yes, which should be something like:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\King's Bounty - Warriors of the North\sessions\addon

Is it not necessary to replace them within the ses.kfs file also? Or can the LUA files just be placed into the sessions\addon directory next to the kfs files?

For instance, if I wanted Royal Griffins to give paladins a morale bonus, could I simply edit the morale.txt file and place it within the directory? Or does it have to be repackaged into ses.kfs?

Thanks!

Yes, that's the way to do it.

Again, yes, that's the best way to handle it.

Great, thanks for the quick replies

I actually think using .kfs archives in the mod folder is a bit cleaner, since it puts each mod in a separate file.

To do that with Bhruic's fixes, simply rename his zip, and change the .zip extension to .kfs. And then place it in addon/mods. You will have to create the mods folder.

Seems like mods work if you just put them in the addons folder too.. As thats where I put yours and it worked fine. Didn't know about this sub folder options since there was no installation instructions in ur mod (maybe make a readme?).

Okay, I see. I can now kill Ice dragons with impunity. Thank you.

Why does 1C make it so we have to fix the game ourselves, wouldn't it be easier to fix it for everyone through Steam update? Probably a silly question.
