Hello fine friends,
As a special treat during this lengthy global pandemic, I have finished another version of the Explorer mod.
Explore a massive «open» world
Collect Companions to build your army
Will you find your recruits among the seedy mercenaries lurking in smoky taverns? Will you accept only the most honourable knights to your service? Or perhaps join the Merchant’s guild and surround yourself with traders and guardsmen?
All your units are unique individuals with their own name, face, stats, equipment. Upgrade your party over time as you win battles! But beware the enemy heroes.
Ally yourself to a faction
Fight epic battles and sieges
Everywhere you go, you must be on the lookout! Bandit hordes, ravenous wolves, or elite army raiders may be lurking beyond any tree or hill. Watch parties travel around, spot enemies, and form their battle-lines!
Besiege walled castles or raid enemy outposts and encampments!
BrainyBots combat AI and battle tactics+formations+morale mean that every battle will be unique and exciting, and also very deadly. Mount&Blade has never been tougher, so beware!
Explore
Discover the world of Calradia, find hidden secrets known only to you; encounter unique enemies, find special loot, and forgotten places. Observe, influence, or take control of a medieval world on an unprecedented scale!
Changelist
These are changes from the previous Alpha and Beta versions of Explorer. This is not an exhaustive feature list!
There’s too many features to list all of them!
Credits can be found in the file description. I would also like to give a special thanks to the entire M&B modding community! I am proud to have been a part of such a unique and friendly community.
Thanks for reading!

Get the latest, greatest, final version of Explorer!
hello
Here is a new version of Explorer!
This is likely to be the final version. I worked very hard on it, I hope you enjoy!
What’s New
Sound:
— Music depending on culture/situation; a mix of Warband tracks, with some OG M&B music + new music by Goldenjoseph
— Soldiers no longer shout during combat; instead shouts and war taunts will only play when a unit spots an enemy. Shouting will also alert nearby units to the spotted danger.
— Horses snort and whinny far less when idle
— Horse sounds reduced in volume in general
— The way AI parties are spawned, move around, and decide what to do is completely overhauled, now using essentially the Native AI system
— AI and player can now use formations when they engage in combat
— AI will set up camps (usually) during night time when traveling
Quests:
— Get quest offers from lords, ladies, guild masters, village elders.
Hideouts, Outposts, Bandits.
— Attack bandit hideouts/enemy outposts
— Villages can be infested with bandits after being raided
Town locations
— Visit the Tavern, Market, Alley, Townhouse, Enterprise, in towns.
Troops
New troop trees for some subfactions, and better balance to all existing troops!

Good day! I really like your mod, could you tell me what is the change in this version?
Changelist has now been posted!
Moddb.com
thank for your help
do you have some kind of tutorial, im clueless how many thing work like wage system, enterprize, honor, train peasant, buy cattle,fast travel.
Hi there! It`s just me getting locations without people on them (except towns and villages)? Have seen some lord`s army camps, but empty, no people, only tents. Also have seen a few soldiers, standing in the middle of nowhere just in a row, with standart dialogue option. Many mercenaries, traveling merchants and simple peasants are sitiing in market house in towns, though dialogues are just same as in field. You can threaten peasants, for example. But haven`t seen them in the field. It may be my WSE outdated?
Town dialogue for npcs is not finished. There should certainly be people traveling around outside of locations, please let me know if you keep playing and still dont run into anyone
Will do and look for other stuff, this mod deserves to get better and better.
About NPCs in field: still no one except few patrols standing in row in the middle of the field and doing nothing. Towns are sometimes overcowded with many Caravan Masters and their guards, townsmen and mercenaries often are blocking doors of tavern etc.
Some animals don`t move, when I getting close. It`s at least deer, pheasant, unicorn. Though deers started to run away, when I hit one of them with raven.
Some woman NPCs are naked. I`ve seen mercenaries and one vassal Posadnitsa Vayen without clothes on torso (they have headwear, footwear and weapons though).
At the «Waterfall Bridge» near Jelkala waterfall itself looks frozen, and water in river flows backwards.
It`s a bit difficult to loot animals, sometimes I`m struggling to hit this small target. Maybe, some animals (boars and wolves) have too many HP. Also maybe wolves should attack player and NPCs, when there are huge pack of them? And maybe you should add bears (in small quantities) to areas with thick woods?
Some women do not have hair, looks weird. One mercenary has had hair before I hired her, but it disapperared after accessing her inventory.
Townsmen of Uxkhal (both men and women) are wearing same clothes, different only in colour.
Dialogue with companion about duel is broken, couldn`t quit and couldn`t fight, so I needed to manually restart game (nevermind if it`s still in development).
Found some locations that appear to be bandit hideouts. In older version there were plenty of them, and partly they was occupied by local kingdom`s forces, partly under bandits` control. But in new they are under kingdom`s forces only from vey beginnig of the game. Or are they just small outposts as they should be?
I don`t quite understand the reason for second map (Y+Backspace), it`s not very useful for now. In mornings it`s often clouded with fog, so it is unable for me to see anything (nevermind if it`s still in development). Also in my opinion standart map would look much better if it get larger scale and size.
Don`t worry about all this stuff, it is so many of them only because I really love your mod and I want it to be as perfect as possible. Sorry I can`t help you with development in other way. I`m admiring all those big and tiny changes you`ve made, this is one of my favorite mods.
Please install the new patch! Many of these issues are fixed.
Dark faces/hands indoors is caused by having Depth effects enabled but no HDR. So either enable HDR or disable Depth Effects. 🙂
There are bandit hideouts but also faction outposts.
Some NPCs being naked is a weird bug. Probably it won’t ever get fixed. just pretend they are wearing «the emperor’s new clothes» 😉
Exactly the same I started doing just after posting comment. Didn`t noticed that there is a patch. Now gonna try it.
Wow, it`s not about HDR or Depth, it`s Shader Quaity!
Yeah, they are back on the fields, feels like lockdown ended!
Longbow do not have an atribute «Cannot be used on horseback».
how is this mod installed?I hit it modules next I extract the wse in the folder of warband, but when do I initiate the game and beginning new departure when creating the character to me and beginning to play is been a map like the vanilla but in black and one second after does the game close in, as I install the mod correctly?

New beta version of Explorer! featuring BattleTime co-op and more
New: Hotfix patch!
Please redownload the Beta if you got it before Oct 23!
I don’t have time right now for a big write up, but here is the latest version of Explorer!
Also, come join the discord: Discord.gg
What’s New?
First and foremost, I am happy to announce the (partial) integration of Battle Time Co-op! This lets you save your single player game and play any battle mission in multiplayer! That’s right, have your friends join you as your companions (or your foes!) and fight your battles online!
New Worldmap!
Pressing M now brings up a much more detailed worldmap.
Better Weather effects!
Weather and weather sfx will update in real time, fixed sound issues with lightning/thunder, and added dust storms instead of rain in desert areas.
New Troop Trees!
Some factions got additional troop trees for their subfactions, as well as some new bandit and caravan troops.
BrainyBots!
New BrainyBots bot AI gives an even greater challenge!
Much more!
Give it a whirl, leave your feedback!

Special credits for this release include:

(more to come later)
Known Issues:
Co-op integration is only partially working
Dialogues are placeholder, there might be dead-ends/crashes/wrong lines etc
TAB menu might be broken in some situations
I would like to say that every issue will get fixed and the mod will get polished. But honestly this is probably the last release for Explorer. I hope you can enjoy it in its current state!
Do you like the mod?
Why not support me on Patreon? I put a lot of work into this mod, if you appreciate it lemme know. 8)
Awesome work! Thank you!
so glad to see its going forward
Thanks for the support!
I’m so happy to see this mod continued! But oh so sad that I cannot play it :(.
«Unable to open file: CommonRes/destroy_snowy.brf»
Hey DieNamic, update your game to the latest version and that error should be fixed:)
I did! I tried to reinstall it a few times but the result is always the same.
That’s odd. destroy_snowy.brf is part of the base game from the Invasion mode update. Maybe do a full reinstall of warband 1.174?
Did it! A game reinstall did it. Thank you.
Is this potato Friendly?
Min requirements will be higher than native Warband (no dx7, more RAM usage) but performance is good for what you get. The biggest fps limiter besides textures is the hardcoded cavalry AI. Despite all the features going on the actual explorer code is very efficient. If the game runs slowly for you, disable hdr/anti aliasing, use fast relfections, and turn down texture detail.
Wow, great. Thank you for your work!
It worked, thanks a lot! Really love the mod.
Thx! That’s a great mod! Keep the good work, dev!
if i download this game,can i launch other mod in this game?
It seems pretty amazing. I ran into a lot of fights and got my butt kicked several times. I used the raven to travel till I found enemies.
Two things stand out, one the horse gallop is extremely loud and two could you add a loot option to the tab menu. When encountering enemies its hard to loot them if the tab menu gave us the same screen as in vanilla after fights that would be excellent.
When I ask someone to join they say why on earth would they, when I teleport to a new scene after hiring a sword sister they disappear, when I talk to people I hired its the same hire dialogue
oyunun modunu modulese falan attım herseyi yaptım oyunu açmaya çalıstıgımda Unable to open file: CammonRes/destroy_snowy.brf hatasını veriyor
This means you are not running the latest version of Warband (1.174). You can get the patch from talewolrds.com or wherever you originally got the game
Hey i need some help please, i’m running it on steam version and whenever i press TAB (to rest for example) it says i’m not running WSE, when i try to rest it flips out on me and i get a bunch of errors then instead of respawning in the city i’m in some plains (map says im still in the city)
For now, some features are a little broken when not launching the game with WSE:
WSE (Warband Script Enhancer) is a tool for warband that lets modders use some cool extra features (and also fixes some original warband issues to boot). It is packaged as part of the Explorer mod already, simply run the WSELoader.exe. You can find it in this folder:
/. /Mount&Blade; Warband/Modules/Explore/WSE Lua/WSELoader
TROUBLESHOOTING: Oftentimes, your PC’s security might not let the Script Enhancer access the Mount&Blade; Warband folder from where it is. If you get an error after running WSELoader, you have to move the *contents* of WSE Lua folder from the Explorer folder to the /Mount&Blade; Warband/ folder. then run WSELoader from in there and you’ll be good to go
Hey, you`ve did great job! I really do enjoy playing this mod. But there some things that may be worth to change: too few ranged weapons in merchants` stock; also too many sarranid equipment in merchants` wares of any faction, it`s a bit weird; sometimes coordinats on map changing a litlle wrong (for instance, 2 miles while traveling 1); bots on arena are too fast, how am I supposed to fight them? Sometimes I`m managing to beat them, but it`s hard. Also, from time to time locations are empty and other time they are overpopulated, no chance to fight poor bandits myself, lords` armies beating them.
*I`ve seen two unicorns roaming night woods, that was awesome!*
Я скачал ваш мод и ещё один другой «WBRestart» когда я играю в ваш другого мода нет можно как-то поиграть в эти два мода одновременно в одной игре
Смогу я сыграть в эти 2 моды одновременно в одной игре
