Usually version updates for BCP only add functionality but due to significant changes to the Bannerlord code between 1.7.1, 1.7.2, and 1.8.0 you need to use the correct version of BannerColorPersistence.
Bannerlord 1.7.1: BCP 1.2.5 Bannerlord 1.7.2: BCP 1.3.0 Bannerlord 1.8.0: BCP 1.3.1 This version also requires Harmony to be installed as well! Make sure you have the latest version of Harmony too!
Do not run the standalone BannerPaste mod alongside versions 1.2.5+ or you'll likely crash. As noted in multiple places, the BannerPaste logic has been moved into BCP thanks to gooboon giving me the go ahead.
Please move the discussion off this stickied post. Report as a bug, include a list of all mods you're running and their versions, as well as the version of Bannerlord you're on. If you can also provide a crash report via something like Butterlib or BetterExceptionWindow that would help as well.
With regards to the configuration option: allowColorChangeOnIconsMatchingBackgroundColor
This option was specifically added for people looking to allow the banner background color changes on their complex banners. It's not a perfect solution and your results will vary depending on your specific banner. The key logic assumes that any icon matching the background color is being used as a "blocking" icon, i.e. an icon only present to overlap portions of other icons to make them not visible. Those icons matching the background color will be changed to match the new background color, hopefully resulting in a banner which shows your complex design with the new background color.
If you use this option and experience problems, feel free to post about it and provide before/after screenshots and your bannercode and I'll see if I can work on improving the logic.
Could you help me out a little? I have no idea how to fix this, I have POC Colour randomizer, Banner Colour Persistence, Europe 1259 Continued and whenever I create my own kingdom or rebel agains the kingdom I'm part of, everybody on my side gets their banner effed up and based on my banner colours. Load order issue? I tried switching it multiple times...
Might want to add the location of the config file (\Mount & Blade II Bannerlord\Modules\BannerColorPersistence\bin\Win64_Shipping_Client\config.json - for anyone reading) to the description to save time for people not familiar with the structure.
I downloaded the file and did what someone in a video said, which was to move the file into the Modules folder, in the game, the mod appears there but when I try to run it, it gives an error saying that the file version is for version v.1.2.0.0.0 and that the current one is 1.2.6.3 etc and every time I try to run it I get shut down from the game, can anyone help?
The version warning that pops up is normal. The crash is abnormal - if you can get a crash report and provide it here I'll take a look and see what's going on.
Please help, Im running the correct version of bannerpaste with the correct version of the game but whenever I paste a new banner onto the game it immediately resets to this random banner ive never seen before. Ive reinstalled the mod and tested it out with multiple banners but with no luck.
What other mods are you running? My first thought is you've likely got something like POC running which has its own configured banners that are overriding the one you're creating.
I'm getting the same problem but when I remove POC all the clan banners adopt the colours of the kingdom which is ugly and when I turn it on my own clan's banner defaults to that exact one and now only the kingdom leader clan banner adopts the colour of the kingdom and all the others are fine. Only happens when I load a save.
If you're using POC it's likely that there is a clan in the config with the same name as your clan, so it is giving your clan the banner defined for the clan in the config.
@screwdriverftw if you want BCP to prevent NPC banner color changes you need to set the config option preventNPCBannerColorChanges to true. I can't really help much with POC issues so I would follow the info JulioClaudian provided or head over to the POC page and see if there's help there for your POC specific issues.
Ciao, non ho banner personalizzati ma vorrei usare la mod per impedire il cambio di colore quando mi unisco a un'altra fazione. È possibile? Ho installato la mod e attualmente sono un mercenario per Vlandia, ma i colori originali del mio clan (nero) sono comunque cambiati in ROSSO.
Is there a way to adopt my current kingdom colors after pasting in a new banner without leaving and rejoining the kingdom, or having to go through and pick the right colours for every layer/element in the banner editor (I'm using bannerlord.party atm not aware of any other editors)?
I'm not 100% clear on what you're asking for. So you have a custom banner and the colors from that banner applied for your clan, but you would like to have your custom banner adjust to the colors of the kingdom you join?
If that's what you're looking for, you can try changing this setting: allowColorChangeOnIconsMatchingBackgroundColor to true. As mentioned in the notes on the Description tab, the effectiveness of this setting is largely based on your banner. What this setting does is permit the background of your banner to change to your kingdom's primary background color. It also goes through and finds every icon on your custom banner that is an exact match of the original background color and changes those icons to be the new background color as well. The idea is that custom banners often use icons that are the same color as the background to block out pieces of other icons, so by changing the background and those matching icons to a new color it preserves the banner design but allows the banner to adopt the kingdom background color. The other icons will remain the same color as they have been so it may not look great and won't match perfectly with the new kingdom colors.
If that's not what you're looking for, please clarify and maybe provide screenshots of what you mean and I'll try to help.
It's half what I'm looking for I already have that set to true I just need to rerun that logic when I make changes to my banner.
I've got a banner that increases in complexity overtime and the base/default colour is white black and brown which is the colour I use when I'm not part of a kingdom.
The problem I have is that when I want to update the banner it pastes in as the original brown colour and the only way to rerun the "allowColorChangeOnIconsMatchingBackgroundColor" logic is to leave the kingdom and rejoin it.
