If you use a newer one, then it will just not work. For example Silverstag is created on WSE 3.2.0. You more or less need to run the correct WSE the module needs. Throwing the files inside the main game folder, solves that problem, since WSE sees the files.

The reason is that sometimes WSE can not find where your M&B is installed, probably due to a registry error. I do find it though better to throw the files straight in the main M&B:W folder. WSE can be installed anywhere, as long as mb_warband_old.exe is inside the same folder. Seems newer WSE does not use anymore mb_warband_old.exe but just the normal mb_warband.exe, but again the correct exe you should use, can be found where your get WSE. You should be able to find the mb_warband_old.exe wherever you get WSE. That means if you do not have mb_warband_old.exe, it will just not start. When you run the WSELoader, it will start up the mb_warband_old.exe, not the mb_warband.exe. Thank you for the help and for being patient with me!įirst of all, I am talking from experience. Which one should I use? Where should the folder go? Do I need to rename / move around the 'warband_old.exe' file? I've somehow found two different versions of WSE to download - WSE 4.4.3 and WSE 3.2.0.

I've downloaded Warband from Steam just tonight.

Sometimes there's mention of a 'warband_old.exe' file somewhere that may or may not be important. Others say I need to copy and paste the WSE folder into the root of EVERY mod folder. Some mods / pages say to put the WSE folder in the Modules folder. I double-check the options to make sure I have the 'display this stuff' options ticked, which they are, and then I check the Game Log and it shows a crap-ton of WSE errors at the same spot, so I assume I'm not installing WSE right. Whenever I find myself wanting to play Warband mods again, I keep running into errors where the 'log' text in the bottom left of the screen telling me how much money I won / lost, how much morale my troops have, how much XP I got, how much damage I hit for, etc, stops showing up entirely.
