Pickitup - AI Optimization for Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord



After Use
Before Use







Now you can even try taking some unarmed troops into the battlefield. Of course, this is just for fun.

It is recommended not to throw weapons in the village and to keep children away.  lol

Introduction
When using the new Realistic Battle Mod (RBM), soldiers drop their weapons after being perfectly blocked or when their stamina is depleted, but they continue to charge forward unarmed like fools. This unrealistic behavior severely impacts the immersion and realism of the battlefield! This mod will address this issue. 
✦ Features
     Added feature to prevent dropped items from disappearing on the battlefield, The option to enable or disable is available.

  • Soldiers will enter a brief "confused state" (duration adjustable) after losing their weapons.
  • After this period, they will automatically search for nearby available weapons to ensure they are not fighting unarmed.
  • Prioritizes picking up melee weapons (including throwable weapons that can be switched to melee).
  • Will not pick up bows, crossbows
  • Archers will ensure they have a melee weapon equipped.
  • Uses the game's native pathfinding system to locate weapons.
  • Soldiers who lose their weapons in combat will prioritize picking up the nearest weapon.
  • Multiple soldiers may compete for the same weapon. I haven't implemented weapon state locking, which might make for a more interesting mechanic.
  • Includes an MCM settings menu for customizing various parameters.
  • Debug version generates logs on the desktop.
  • Works well with other mods that have combat weapon drops.

✦ Development NotesI personally enjoy the realism in games, so I tend to focus on creating mods that enhance realism. Currently, this mod is working on optimizing the "confused state" to address the issue of soldiers chasing enemies unarmed during this period. However, as I am new to Bannerlord modding, it will take some time. If you have any good suggestions or solutions, feel free to reach out. I will continue to improve the mod, adding more AI optimization mechanics to make the game more diverse and realistic.
