Resolving Unhandled Exceptions in Horizon Modding Tool

As a modder for games like Total War Saga: Thrones of Britannia and Total War Saga: Fall of the Samurai, you may have encountered issues with the Horizon modding tool. One common problem is the 'Unhandled Exception' error that prevents you from using the tool as intended. Fear not, dear modders! This article will guide you through the process of resolving this issue.

First, you'll need to ensure that your mod.pack file is in the correct directory. In the toolkit folder, navigate to the 'retails' directory and locate the modified DB file. Run BOB (Binary Object Builder) and select the rightmost 'mod' option, which should be set to 'Retail data/mod.pack'. This will allow you to view and modify the database contents.

BOB is an essential tool for modders, offering a range of features that make it easy to manage your mods. With BOB, you can search the entire DB for specific terms, open up tables, highlight modifications, and track down the use of values across different tables. To export only modified files, select the 'Export changes to binaries' option.

For more advanced modifications, Dave is an excellent tool that allows you to change the value of the DB to produce altered XML files. To access Dave, navigate to the directory where your game is installed and look for the Total War toolkit (Steam/Tools/Total War Warhammer 2 Toolkit). From there, you can use Dave to modify your database and create custom mods.

By following these steps, you should be able to resolve any unhandled exceptions that arise when using the Horizon modding tool. Remember to install the toolkit in the same directory as your game for optimal performance. Happy modding!
