Bonfire mod

[robizeratul]

Does this only work on steam version? I installed this on a clean Warriors of the north game and now nothing happens. I click the KBwotn.exe and nothing happens.

I can't see any other exe file to click.

This is what I did:

1)Downloaded the file.
2)Unpack in the MAIN game folder(in my case it was D:\me\Games\King)
3)Click on the KbwotN.exe

Nothing happens. what am I doing wrong?

The mod is a complete game in itself. You must not install it over the original game. In Steam, you rename WoTN and then put the mod in the same folder and name it King's Bounty - Warriors of the North. I suppose it would not work outside Steam, but I'm not sure.

Well I outlined what I did, the files where rewritten and now nothing happens when I click.

If someone has any ideas or solution I would be glad. really want to try out this mod!

As I said, you must not rewrite anything but put the mod where the WoTN was and rename it so that Steam recognizes it.

installation guide is at the first post in this thread. VERY IMPORTANT TO RENAME EXISTING WOTN DIRECTORY BEFORE INSTALLING BONFIRE !!!!!!!

If you made this mistake, delete the directory and install again.

I do not understand. My directory was named "KING". I installed the game from GOG.

1)Download the file
2)Unpack into main directory (D://Games/King)
3)Overwrite files
4)Klick KBWotN (can't find anything else to click)
5)Nothing happens. Game not working. Worked well before.

not sure what you mean by GOG, anyway, Bonfire should be installed in the same directory you have installed WoTn, same place, but you have to either remove or rename existing WoTn Directory. After installation of Bonfire you will see the "same" directory name 'Kings Bounty Warriors of the North' or so, this will be Bonfire, which you will see when you start the game.

hope it helps. We haven't had installation problems before, so you must be doing something wrong.

I'll say once more: you must not overwrite. Bonfire is an independent and complete game in itself.

BTW, those 57 Skeletons from a coffin saved me, when a deadly enemy army drove me into a dead end. Although I must say that a deadly army which consists of slow melee units isn't so dangerous, if you have casters and shooters and can keep on casting extra units in front of your army. That's always been my winning strategy.

Good Old Games is an alternative game distribution service, and it doesn't use a Steam-style approach to the game launching.

I, too, have not been able to get Bonfire working on a GOG install of Warriors of the North. I'm pretty sure Bonfire's current coding is only compatible with a Steam installation in specific. Which is a bit frustrating, because Bonfire sounds pretty cool.

GOG = GOG.com - synonymous with DRM-free gaming
