ArmourVariationManager is an open source module that allows Bannerlord modders to define armour item variations.
- Get the release
- Unzip into Bannerlord's Modules folder
- Make sure you also have Bannerlord.Harmony mod which is a requirement
- Place this mod as last in the loading order
- Edit the armourvariations.xml in ModuleData with your desired changes
- Edit your items.xml to create variations
The module matches variationId to a naming convention in the item's StringId. In order for the code to find your matching variationId, you MUST add your items with a StringId that ends with a dot followed by the variationId.
For example:
<Item id="aa_test_tunic" name="{=!}AA_Test_Tunic" mesh="casual_01" culture="Culture.vlandia" weight="0.6" appearance="1" Type="BodyArmor">
<ItemComponent>
<Armor body_armor="4" leg_armor="2" arm_armor="2" covers_body="true" modifier_group="cloth_unarmoured" material_type="Cloth" />
</ItemComponent>
<Flags UseTeamColor="true" Civilian="true" />
</Item>
<Item id="aa_test_tunic.var1" name="{=!}AA_Test_Tunic_With_Variation" mesh="casual_01" culture="Culture.vlandia" weight="0.6" appearance="1" Type="BodyArmor">
<ItemComponent>
<Armor body_armor="4" leg_armor="2" arm_armor="2" covers_body="true" modifier_group="cloth_unarmoured" material_type="Cloth" />
</ItemComponent>
<Flags UseTeamColor="true" Civilian="true" />
</Item>
</Items>Notice the ".var1" ending of the second Item's ID, where var1 is a valid variationId in the variations.xml
