1. Install the latest .NET Core SDK.
2. Run dotnet new --install Bannerlord.Templates to install the project templates.

1. Choose a project template i.e. blmodfx.
2. Run dotnet new blmodfx --help to see how to select the feature of the project.
3. Run dotnet new blmodfx --name "Bannerlord.MyModule" along with any other custom options to create a project from the template.

You need to have at least an 16.8.x version to create the template!
You also need to use the new template feature:

If you plan on using Harmony or WinForms, use .NET Framework 4.7.2. If not, you can chose .NET Standard 2.0.

Hard dependency means that an entry will be added to SubModules.xml. Your Module will not include the dependency inside it's /bin folder (the .dll). It won't allow the game to run your mod without the dependency installed as a separate Module. This is an important feature to prevent having multiple versions of the same dependency running within the game.
Soft dependency means that nothing will be added to SubModules.xml. Your Module will include the dependency inside it's /bin folder (the .dll).

$(BANNERLORD_GAME_DIR) is an environment variable. We think that it would be best to set it once on the system instead of hardcoding the game path in the project.
Feel free to replace it with a full folder path like C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Mount & Blade II Bannerlord if you don't want to use the environment variable.

$(MSBuildProjectName) is a MSBuild built-in variable that returns the file name of the project file without the file name extension; for example, Bannerlord.Module1.
If you don't plan on keeping the Module folder name the same as the project that is being created, override it.

The version of C# that is used. By default, the value is 9.0, which is the latest currently.

Read the docs on Nullable reference types to decide if you need this feature!

Those are variables that will be replaced with real values when the project is built.

• $modulename$ is the varible you passed in Module Name when creating the Module. It is the <ModuleName> property used in your project file (.csproj)
• $version$ is the <Version> property used in your project file (.csproj)

It is the root Module folder that copies everything that is placed there inside the output.

This is one of the features that this project template provides.
If the <ModuleName> and <GameFolder> properties are valid, your Module will be copied in the game's /Modules folder automatically. You can test your Module without the need of creating a script that will move everything inside the game's Modules folder.
