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. (Check out the pinned discussion thread)
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.




If you have a request please check the discussion threads!

Hey! I just checked and there are two different Dragonslayers. I will add the other one to and let you know the keyword once I updated it. Thank you for reporting this!

Hello, you helped me out before and it actually worked so I've been able to use this mod and it's been awesome! But I'm having trouble Summoning The Dragon Slayer 2.5 Will using the animation rework cause an issue somehow?
