playing on radiant and the previous fix by zanameth isnt working for me, can anyone help?

great mod thanks

@foxtrot,
You can have 82 heros even if it is said here max is 70 ?
I asked you this bacause I hesitate between this mod and other rosters which allows 99 heros

Note: for who do not see their max roster increase, move the priority of the mod higher.
I personally put it first and had no problems.
Hope this helps!

I don't know why people say it doesn't work, it works for me and has expanded my roster to a grand total of 82 (eighty two!!) heroes!
Maybe y'all are using some sort of stagecoach replacer or something that conflicts with this mod, but the mod still works as of 1/5/2024

DOES NOT WORK

Broken and makes all incoming heroes under level 2.

BROKEN

It worked to expand my roster, but I ran into the issue many have had with only level 2 and below heroes appearing in the Stagecoach. Scroll down to Zanameth's first Jan 24th post for a fix to this! I followed their instructions and then 3-4 level heroes started appearing again!

You need to copy/paste the last two paragraphs they wrote into the indicated .json file, and add that comma to the end of like 48 like they instruct. Worked like a charm for me! But you may want to copy your .json file to save just in case something goes wrong. I forgot the comma at first and when booting up the game got an error message, but it didn't break anything. Just had to go back and fix my edits.

Thanks Zanameth!

Follow-up from previous post : You also need to edit the modfiles.txt at the root of the mod folder:

Line 1 : You need to replace the number at the end by the file size of the "modes\radiant\campaign\town\buildings\stage_coach\stage_coach.building.json" file.

To get the file size, you can right-click that file and select "Properties" to view the size.
The number you need to take is the one in parenthesis :

Example :
Size : 3,24 KB (3.320 bytes)

So here the number you need is 3320.
Do NOT take the number on the "Size on disk" line.

Restart your game, and hopefully it's good now.

I found an issue when you play in Radiant mode, for those who want the fix :
Edit the file :

D:\Steam\SteamApps\workshop\content\262060\903716519\modes\radiant\campaign\town\buildings\stage_coach\stage_coach.building.json

Line 48, add a missing comma "," (without the quotes) at the end of the line, then save the file.
Hopefully this should work. I'm still in the process of testing it in my game.

Also of note : the block at lines 49/50 is not identical to the Vanilla game (and it should be, since the mod isn't supposed to touch this part).
If you want the original code for this part, replace lines 49 and 50 by this :

Line 49 :
{ "level" : 4, "chance" : 0.0625, "number_of_extra_positive_quirks" : 2, "number_of_extra_negative_quirks" : 2, "number_of_extra_combat_skills" : 2, "number_of_extra_camping_skills": 2, "guaranteed_previous_raid_dead_hero_levels" : [5,6],

Line 50 :
"upgrade_tree_id" : "stage_coach.upgraded_recruits", "upgrade_requirement_code" : "d" }

doesn't work on my new save, i've already upgraded 90% of the stage coach

BUMPING BUG: No heroes above level 2 show up in the stage coach, please fix..

I see some other people have been mentioning this bug, but no heroes above level 2 show up in the stagecoach, as well as less show up than in base game with a fully upgraded stagecoach.

this mod make my game crash, unfollow and deslike

Still having the issue @FearEngine mentioned. Butcher's Circus really made the game buggy.

Seems like I'm having trouble dragging and dropping characters in and out of the roster to the embark list since the Butcher's Circus release today

The mod is just fine. It contains both files for radiant and darkest modes.
If you play on darkest or stygian/bloodmoon you don't have the option to upgrade your stagecoach to give you level 4 heroes. Maybe that's why some people don't get them.
@Kaani, you're trying to update the mod to give you level 4 heroes on darkest and above.
The mod contains also a folder named modes(\radiant). The file from there already contains the upgrade for level 4 recruits. I hope this clears things up.

@dbolin110470 he has another mod that combines the two, you can't use the two individual mods together

So the larger roster mod will not work with the Anti-grind Stage Coach installed as well. I can get them to work individually by changing the priority but it seems like having both active would be ideal. Is it just not possible to have more than one mod on any given game asset?

Is the level 4 hero not appear bug fixed? It reads like it was back in July 2018 but some comments are recently stating it's not?

After that, you have to add a comma after the closing parentheses on level 3 or it will return an error. You also might want to tweak the chances of heroes spawning. I didn't lose any heroes when I uninstalled the mod, my roster was just instantly full.

Okay, I fixed the level 4 heroes not appearing bug on my end. Should work but I don't make any guarantees.

In <Steam DIR>\steamapps\workshop\content\262060\903716519\campaign\town\buildings\stage_coach there is a file called stage_coach.building.json, open that file and find "upgraded_recruits_upgrades". You'll see that it's missing the level 4 upgrade altogether, and I assume that's what's making the game default to the level 0 thing.

To fix it, add the following under the level 3 part:

{ "level" : 4, "chance" : 0.0625, "number_of_extra_positive_quirks" : 3, "number_of_extra_negative_quirks" : 3, "number_of_extra_combat_skills" : 3, "number_of_extra_camping_skills": 3, "guaranteed_previous_raid_dead_hero_levels" : [5,6],
"upgrade_tree_id" : "stage_coach.upgraded_recruits", "upgrade_requirement_code" : "d" }

If it can't be fixed then is it possible to remove this mod from a current save?

Any progress for a fix on the level 4 heroes not appearing bug? It's been a few months since it's been reported

I think this might be bugged. I've upgraded the stagecoach to max level and the tooltip says that sometimes level 0 heroes will appear. I consequently haven't seen any heroes above level 3 and it's been weeks now

hey Spyboy, seems the Base Roster size is 35 with your mod, anyways good mod
works fine with 120+ mods including Sunward Isle

For people who can't make it work, make sure you don't have any other stage coat mods installed at the same time. For me it didn't work until I unsub from Better Stage Coat. Anti-grind & Larger Roster may interfer with this mod as well, but I didn't test it tbh.

I need help guys...
I don't know if it has anything to do with this mod, but last night, I opened up the game, and all my heroes were gone. Poof. Empty roster. I was in the endgame too, so it's devastating...
I played the game offline, so I suspect it might also have something to do with steam cloud saves, but I can't be sure. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

doesn't work for me

Do I have to start a new game for this to work properly?

I do have a question though, how do you expend the roster even further? I thought I just had to edit stage_coach building numbers, but apparently there is more to that. What else needs to be changed for the number of the roaster to truly expand?

No problem dude, glad I could help.

Ok I found out why thx to you. The 4th lvl is exclusive to radiant mode and so there is another file in the radiant folder with 4 levels. (Which means the bug is present since crimson court ^^) I'll fix that quickly! Sorry for the problem!

Also I know why our values weren't matching, I forgot radiant and darkest has different values. But it doesn't change the fact your mod is missing the level 4 character chance, instead if you open the game it just has "adds the chance to gain level 0 heroes" on the last tier of upgrade.

I think you should be checking that instead, because you keep only listing until level three, while the vanilla goes up to level 4 with a 0.0625 chance. It is "level" : 1, "chance" : 0.250 lv2 , "chance" : 0.1875, : level 3, "chance" : 0.125 level" : 4, "chance" : 0.0625 And I didn't even touch those files directly

The vanilla is different for me its : "level" : 1, "chance" : 0.1875 lv2 , "chance" : 0.125, : 3, "chance" : 0.0625 . You can try to cut/paste the file elsewhere and verify game cache to be sure you have the original files

Ah, yeah it seems that it is 0.250 on lv1 after all. At least for me the vanilla has these: "level" : 1, "chance" : 0.250 lv2 , "chance" : 0.1875, : 3, "chance" : 0.125 level" : 4, "chance" : 0.0625 and at least when I first opened your mod, the stage_coach building.json, the lv1 value was different. Also looking at it again I just noticed it doesn't have a chance to give level 4 heroes in your mod.

I'm sorry but I don't see where I'm changing the chances of lvl 0 in the file. All the "upgraded_recruit_upgrades" part is an exact copy of the original file and I just verified the game cache to be sure

I don't own color of madness either, and the game's default 0.250, 0.1875 is already for lv1. The issue is that your mod changes the lv0 chance like I pointed out below. Instead of being the default 0.250 for gaining lv0s, your mod raises it to 1800 or something like that.

Seems weird, the default values for me are : 0.1875 then 0.125 and then 0.0625 not 0.250 . I still don't own the color of madness tho, it may come from this

Just confirmed, I had been getting level 3 heroes here. So if you are always getting lv0 heroes, move to the mod's folder and change the chances of level 0 to the game's default.

@SZturnmBluzacki I don't think this has anything to do with the mod, it's just that lvl 3 heroes are less likely to be getting on the stage coach than lvl 0.

For those having trouble on the lv0 hero part: I think I found out why, check the "chances" of level 0 in the notepad. You will notice the chance is around 0.1800, instead of the default 0.250, so if I had to guess that is what is causing no chances of getting higher level recruits. I am still going to start a new run and planned to use this mod, so I still need to test it myself. So someone with an advanced run going could test that theory for me.

I have Max upgrade roster and I get Heros at lvl 0 , so please fix it

Its work ;3 ty!

I experienced an issue with this mod where my upgrades to the stagecoach for experienced recruits stopped working. This is the only mod I have installed and it is a shame because I really appreciate being able to have a large roster!

You may need to update for CoM, unless you already have

Still wont work

try to unsub and resub
