Create a savegame folder for Diplomacy

To create a savegame folder for Diplomacy, you must first locate your Mount&Blade Warband Savegames folder. This can be found in your Documents folder. Once you have located the Savegames folder, create a new folder inside it named "Diplomacy" or "Diplomacy (Steam Workshop)", assuming you downloaded it from the Steam Workshop.

Next, you need to copy your savegames from the Native folder into the new Diplomacy folder. You can find your Native saves in the Mount&Blade Warband Savegames\Native folder. Select and copy the savegame files (sg00, sg01, etc.) and paste them into the Diplomacy folder.

After you have copied your savegames into the Diplomacy folder, you need to restart the game and launch Diplomacy. Open the game in the launch menu and create a new savegame. Once you have done this, you can exit the game.

Now, locate your Mount&Blade savegame folder again. Inside, you will find a new folder named "Diplomacy" with a save file named sg00.sav. Copy and paste your desired Native savegames into this folder. Make sure you have nine or fewer saves in the Diplomacy folder, as there are only nine save game slots in-game.

Copy and paste savegames into the Diplomacy folder

To copy and paste savegames into the Diplomacy folder, follow these steps:

  • Go to the User or Documents folder on your device. This may differ depending on your operating system.
  • Locate and enter the Mount&Blade Warband Savegames folder.
  • Enter the Native folder within the "Mount&Blade Warband Savegames" directory.
  • Select and copy your desired savegames. These will be labelled as sg00, sg01, and so on.
  • Return to the "Mount&Blade Warband Savegames" folder.
  • Create a new folder named "Diplomacy" or "Diplomacy (Steam Workshop)" if it does not already exist.
  • Paste your chosen savegames into the "Diplomacy" folder.
  • Remember to restart the game and launch Diplomacy after making these changes.

Note that you may need to create a savegame in the Diplomacy version of the game before the folder for Diplomacy savegames appears. Additionally, savegames from older versions of Diplomacy may not work. Once you open and save your game in Diplomacy, you will not be able to transfer that save back to Native.

Restart the game and launch Diplomacy

To use the Diplomacy mod with native saves, you must first exit the game and locate your Mount and Blade savegame folder. You can find your savegames under Documents > Mount&Blade Warband Savegames > Native.

Once you have done this, exit the game and re-enter the Mount and Blade savegame folder. You should now see a folder named "Diplomacy" with a save named sg00.sav.

At this point, you can copy and paste the desired native savegames into the Diplomacy folder. Remember that there are only nine savegame slots in-game, so ensure you have nine or fewer saves in the Diplomacy folder.

Replace files in the Diplomacy folder with those from the Native folder

To use Diplomacy mod with native saves, you need to create a savegame folder for Diplomacy. You can do this by opening the launch menu, creating a new savegame, and then exiting the game. You can then find the Mount and Blade savegame folder, which will contain a folder named Diplomacy with a save named sg00.sav.

Next, you need to copy and paste your native save games into the Diplomacy folder. You can find your native save games by navigating to Documents > Mount&Blade Warband Savegames > Native. Select and copy your desired save games (sg00, sg01, etc.) and paste them into the Diplomacy folder. Remember that there are only nine save game slots in-game, so make sure you have nine or fewer saves in the Diplomacy folder.

Additionally, you can replace specific files in the Diplomacy folder with those from the Native folder. In the Diplomacy folder under Modules, replace factions.txt, scenes.txt, item_kinds1.txt, and troops.txt with the corresponding files from the Native modules folder.

After completing these steps, remember to restart the game and launch Diplomacy. Once you open and save your game in Diplomacy, you will not be able to move that save back to Native.

Use the save game editor

While some sources suggest that the save game editor may be able to convert a save to another mod's version, it is unclear whether this applies to converting a save from Native to a mod. However, there is a general consensus on the steps to take to use the save game editor to convert native saves to Diplomacy saves.

Firstly, locate the Mount&Blade Warband Savegames directory in your Documents folder. Within this folder, there should be a Native folder. Create a new folder within the Savegames directory and name it "Diplomacy" or "Diplomacy (Steam Workshop)", depending on where you downloaded it from.

Next, select and copy your save games (sg00, sg01, etc.) from the Native folder. Paste these save games into the newly created Diplomacy folder. Remember to restart the game and launch Diplomacy after making these changes.

It is worth noting that once you open and save your game in Diplomacy, it will be altered, and you won't be able to move that save back to Native. Therefore, it is recommended to back up your saves before attempting any modifications.
