Modded Backer Heroes (Manual Install)

Description
~Modded Backer Heroes~
Introduction
This mod allows modded heroes to be spawned as backer heroes by entering the class name in the stage coach.

Heroes will spawn as a locked canon version:

You cannot rename them.
You cannot change their skin.

This can be remedied via manual save editing however.
Only try to call heroes that you have active on your save - your game will crash otherwise.
Be careful not to spawn too many heroes at once - the stagecoach can only handle up to 32 heroes and will crash if you have more.
Spread out hero callings over a few weeks if needed.


Due to the backer file not being loaded via mods, this mod needs to be manually installed. Please read the instructions carefully.

Install Instructions

Make a backup of the "backer_heroes.json" file (in case you want to uninstall this mod):

\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\DarkestDungeon\shared\hero\backer_heroes.json


To install my mod you need to copy my edited file:

\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\262060\3507736920\shared\hero\backer_heroes.json


And paste it into the folder in the DarkestDungeon directory:

\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\DarkestDungeon\shared\hero

Overwrite the existing file.




Done!


You can call heroes in the stagecoach by pressing enter and typing their class name!

Class names are always spelled the way they can be found on their mod page.

Examples:
The Squire can be called by typing Squire.
The Messiah can be called by typing Messiah.

It will crash if you try to spawn a hero that you don't have on your save - sadly I cannot fix this. Just mistyping a name won't cause a crash though.
Artyom 22 Jul @ 12:53pm 
It works now thanks. Although can you make it that if you type incorrect name it just denies and doesn't crash?
Sherin  [author] 22 Jul @ 12:42pm 
@Artyom There was a typo. I pushed an update to fix it. Please reinstall the file!

for some reason it crashes when i try typing Squire, other classes work

@xXFrozenStrawberryXx the only way to fix the bug is by windowing the game, and if the game is windowed while the bug is occurring, full screening the game. It appears to be a long time bug. Dunno why windowing fixes it, but it does.

Oh, that's annoying. It's not something I can fix. Only chance would be reporting it to Red Hook.

I think I found the bug Edgekahn was talking about. When you name one of your heroes, the last input you put in is the only input that appears when calling heroes. For example I named a hero Luna, and when I tried to call a hero afterwards the only letter that appeared was "a".

thank you, god tier mod, now i don't have to wait for eternity for the hero to show up

@Sherin I didn't realize that there were two heralds. I was trying to spawn the crystalline herald but was only putting in herald. It works now so thank you for clarifying.
