Bannerlord Dependency Builder

Create a dependency pack for your Bannerlord installation that can be used in CI builds.

Instructions

• Clone this repository to your local system with a Bannerlord installation
• Edit setup.bat and set the following paths:
  • Game folder - gamefolder=<your Bannerlord installation path here>
    • Example: set "gamefolder=C:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\Mount & Blade II Bannerlord"
  • 7zip - szcli=<your 7zip CLI path here>
    • Example: set "szcli=C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe"
• Run setup.bat and it will produce BannerlordDependencies.zip

Github Actions Instructions

See an example script.

• Host BannerlordDependencies.zip somewhere and copy the public link
• Add a new environment secret to your repository (Settings -> Security -> Secrets -> Actions -> New repository secret) called BANNERLORD_ASSETS_URL and paste the link in as the secret value
• Use the BANNERLORD_ASSETS_URL to pull down the assets in your CI script and unzip them
• Now, either:
  • Set an environment variable to point to the path of the unzipped assets, e.g., for mods with the BUTR template using $(BANNERLORD_GAME_DIR).
  • Pass the path into MsBuild and use it as a project property, e.g., MsBuild.exe -noLogo -r -p:Configuration=Release -p:GameFolder="${env:gamefolder}"
