Custom Lord Creation (Remastered)

Companion Mod

Custom Army Creation

TL;DR

This is kinda a port of the classic Custom Lord Creation.

Custom Lord Creation Remastered version (CLC RM) for WH3.
– No UIMF Required: Uses UI APIs directly.
– Two Spawning Modes: Direct (via icon button) or Pool (via recruitment panel/Custom button).
– Live Editing: Modify existing lords/heroes directly through the Character Details tab or Lord/Hero Recruitment Panel.

Overview

The Future of CLC: Two Paths

Custom Lord Creation (Legacy)
– Balance/Lore Friendly will be focusing in recruitment pool only.
– The Legacy Build: A faithful 1:1 port of the original WH2 experience.
– When will it come? idk 5 months? a year? who knows?
– Goal: To keep the classic mechanics and UI you know and love for WH3.

Custom Lord Creation (Remastered)
– The Re-imagined Version: Built from the ground up, UIMF-free.
– Goal: Sandbox Version, spawn anywhere, everywhere, including you, enemies, and allies.

Why the split?
I want to preserve the "Original" feel for those who prefer it, while using "Remastered" as the platform for new/more features.

Known Issues

• Every update requires a manual version check. If Steam doesn’t download the latest files, try resubscribing. This is a common Steam Workshop bug affecting all mods here or use PJ Mod Manager it handles re-downloading and more.
• Some lord/hero types may have invalid keys or the game rejected it
• Spawned Lord/Hero has wrong skin, just modify it via edit UI (located at your character details UI) and select the appropriate skin, this is the only workaround for us
• In Recruitment Pool some factions spawned lord/hero empty name as supposed to be "Custom Created"
• To fix CTD/freezes during Direct Spawning, first try spawning a stable unit like "Brt Alberic (Lord)" to "prime" the game, which usually allows subsequent spawns to work without CTD/freezes. If stability issues persist, stick to Pool Edit Mode, which is the safest option as it simply adds a "Custom" button to your recruitment pool for reliable method.
• If you encounter the ‘X’ error during Direct Spawning, it’s a script crash caused by incompatible faction mechanics ‘cuz it can’t apply foreign faction mechanics (like Slaanesh’s "Eternal Dance") to other faction. PJ Console Command mod fixes this by acting as an error wrapper, catching the crash before it triggers in-game.
• Multiplayer Support: EXPERIMENTAL. Highly unstable and NOT recommended. Use at your own risk.
