WPS Alt Indicator Toggle
Turns Bannerlord's mission indicator key into a press-on, press-off toggle while preserving campaign-map behavior.
Player guide
Install, configure, and troubleshoot WPS Alt Indicator Toggle.
Use the sections below for setup, requirements, settings, compatibility, removal, and troubleshooting.
Overview
Turns Bannerlord's battle Show Indicators key into a toggle, so players do not have to hold Alt while fighting.
Why This Exists
Holding Alt during combat can be awkward, especially for players who rely on overhead indicators to separate friendly troops from hostile troops in the chaos of a melee. This mod keeps the familiar vanilla keybind but changes it to a press-on, press-off toggle while you are inside missions.
Features
- Press Alt once during battles, sieges, hideouts, tournaments, and arena-style missions to keep indicators visible.
- Press Alt again to turn the indicator state off.
- Works with the vanilla Show Indicators keybind, including remapped keys and controller bindings.
- Mission-only behavior, so campaign map Alt behavior remains vanilla.
- Adds no documented save data and uses one focused input patch.
Requirements
- Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord singleplayer v1.4.5
- Native, SandBoxCore, and Sandbox enabled
- Bannerlord.Harmony v2.4.2.225 or compatible
Installation
- Install and enable Bannerlord.Harmony.
- Install this mod into your Bannerlord Modules folder.
- Enable [WPS] Alt Indicator Toggle after Bannerlord.Harmony in the launcher.
- Start or load a singleplayer game.
Compatibility Notes
- No save data is added.
- No troops, AI, combat math, formations, scenes, or equipment are changed.
- The mod uses one Harmony postfix on Bannerlord's input context and only changes the Show Indicators key while a mission is active.
- May overlap with other mods that alter the same mission indicator key behavior.
Troubleshooting
If the toggle does not respond, confirm Bannerlord.Harmony is enabled and this module loads after it.
Use the current Show Indicators binding shown in Bannerlord's controls; the mod follows remapped keyboard or controller bindings rather than forcing Alt.
The toggle is mission-only. Campaign-map indicator behavior remains vanilla by design.
If another mod changes the same mission indicator input, test with that mod disabled and report reproducible conflicts through the Nexus Mods Bugs tab with the game version and load order.
