+# Mount & Blade 2 Bannerlord
+
+## Installing BLSE
+
+1. Install BLSE and Harmony like you would on Windows
+	
+2. Set launch options to run the BLSE launcher:  
+   `$(echo %command% | sed -r "s/proton waitforexitandrun .*/proton waitforexitandrun/") "$STEAM_COMPAT_INSTALL_PATH/bin/Win64_Shipping_Client/Bannerlord.BLSE.LauncherEx.exe"`
+	
+3. Go to your Bannerlord install directory ex. `'/home/$USER/.steam/steamapps/Mount & Blade 2 Bannerlord/bin/Win64_Shipping_Client'`
+	
+4. Rename `Mono.Cecil.dll` to `Mono.Cecil.dll.bak`
+	
+5. Symlink all files from $STEAM_COMPAT_INSTALL_PATH/Modules/Bannerlord.Harmony/bin/Win64_Shipping_Client/ to the current directory. You can use this script:
+
+```
+#!/bin/bash
+
+SOURCE_DIR=../../Modules/Bannerlord.Harmony/bin/Win64_Shipping_Client  
+LOG_FILE=symlinks-created.txt
+
+> "$LOG_FILE" # Empty the log file
+
+for file in "$SOURCE_DIR"/*; do  
+  base=$(basename "$file")  
+  if [ ! -e "$base" ]; then  
+	ln -s "$file" .  
+	echo "$base" >> "$LOG_FILE"  
+	echo "Linked: $base"  
+  else  
+	if [ -L "$base" ]; then  
+		echo "$base" >> "$LOG_FILE"  
+		echo "Skipped (symlink already exists): $base"  
+	else  
+		echo "SHOULD NOT HAPPEN"  
+	fi  
+  fi  
+done
+
+echo "Symlinking complete. Reversible via: xargs rm < $LOG_FILE"
+```
+
+6. You're done, launch the game
+
+7. BLSE may tell you harmony was not loaded from the right place, it's fine.
+
+Issue: Under proton, the files from Modules/Bannerlord.Harmony/bin/Win64_Shipping_Client/ are not loaded in correctly. After step 2 you'd get a 'harmony not found' error, BLSE only looks in the main launcher directory. Symlinking fixes this, but Mono.Cecil.dll is provided by default:
+
+Name: Mono.Cecil Version: [0.9.6.0](http://0.9.6.0) PublicKey: BlobPtr (0x00002d2c)
+
+and this is the harmony Mono.Cecil.dll:
+
+Name: Mono.Cecil Version: [0.11.5.0](http://0.11.5.0) PublicKey: BlobPtr (0x00003073)
+
+so we have to remove the stock Mono.Cecil.dll
