Bonfire mod

[Indoctrine]

I have a problem with this mod.

1. I have steam version of WotN.
2. I renamed orginal folder.
3. I copied mod folder under orginal name.
4. I started game from Steam.
5. I have main screen, when I choose New Game and after selecting hero "Continue" - I am getting message "You are not allowed to play this game".

What is solution?

We are starting to work on Bonfire 2. Just starting. There're probably not many playing this game, but we like modding and playing the mod... so we continue. The main change from Bonfire 1 is that all creatures from the start has zero talents and learn random ones as you develop them.
Usually in WoTn you level your creatures 10 levels up with increased stats like Defence, Attack etc. - in Bonfire 2 there will only be 4 levels, 3 level to level up where you also get attack defence etc, but you learn a random talent that fits the creature. For instance in one game a Cave Spider can learn Haste, then Throw Web (as the King Spider Companion) and as the 3rd talent it could be Eat Corpse (the Undead Spider talent in WoTn). In another game the Cave Spider could learn Mass Web and something else.
With this system each game is very different and it is fun trying new creatures to see what they develope of skills...

That is what we are working on these days...

Is 2 intended as an update or as a completely different story?
I would be playing the game if there were something new to be played

it is more of an update. Same maps, but creatures develope differently.

I might add some quests...

playing with creatures in B2 gives an incurrencement to try new creatures to see which talents they get.

with that said, we DO NOT yet know if we can fix all the problems we find when adding this new system,
so I can't promise it will be released yet, it is at an early stage now.

Sadly Bonfire mod doesn't start on my comp. Here is what I did:
1. Renamed KBWotN folder.
2. Downloaded zip file.
3. Unpacked zip file as KBWotN folder
4. Run KBWotN.exe

Game starts, but after the logo screen, it crashes. Report writes several "Call stack function" and mentions SHELL32.dll and Crypt32.dll. It is a Steam verions and I have Win10. What should I do? Can anyone give me a help? Thanks!

I reinstalled the game, and Bonfire also. Normal game starts without any problem, Bonfire still crashes.

Sounds very strange. Looks like u did everything right - most people have problems if they don't rename or delete old WoTn game, but u did by the book. I'll ask Terroin (the other modder), I can't see what's wrong. right now. Have you tried starting the game from Steam? (not sure if it helps at all). I downloaded Bonfire 1 month ago and installed it with no problem, so the file should be fine.

BTW, after having a long break after Bonfire 1 and we started modding Bonfire 2, we noticed a lot of "rust" on us two folks who mod (Terroin mod, I make maps and quests), but it is coming back now... I'm adding quests to the guild, and I'm thinking of a new map(s) to add in the random pool. We're fixing the small buggs reported here (and found ourselves).

In Bonfire 2 it is soo fun to try new creatures to see what talents they will get since they start off with zero talents. they can all get 3 talents when fully evolved from NOVICE-RARE-EPIC-LEGENDARY along with stats bonus (instead of 10 levels in normal game), example:

My Cave spider first learnt RUN, then the gobot skill that doubles in numbers and moves to new location, the 3rd talent was SUMMON SPIDER OFFSPRINGS!
My Paladin first learnt "GIVE OTHER AN EXTRA TURN", then SUMMON/RECRUIT SWORDSMEN (3rd hasnt been learnt yet).
My Snake (red) has learnt: "NORMAL DISTANT ATTACK - cant remember name=WoTn Snake talent", then EAT CORPSE (as undead spider), then STUN.
My Archmage: has only learnt DISPEL as the first talent yet.
My Giant Rat (was named Cuddly Abonimation in Bonfire 1): Has learnt "THE WITCH HUNTER TALENT THAT CAST RANDOM SPELL ON IT SELF", then SUMMON RATS, and now "SWAP PLACE" (as the demoness).

There're are a massive amount of modding and planning of talents to choose from, that has to be modded at each creature. Now we have finished the Human Race, and 2/3 of the Neutral race.

to Shadan:
When starting the game in the main menu: did you choose BONFIRE button? To the right in the bottom it says WARRIORS OF THE NORTH by default, click the button for BONFIRE. That could be the issue.
