Description
BFBC2 Mod Loader allows you to install your client & server side mods easy & fast without modifying or replacing original game files, so you don't need to waste time for creating backups of your files anymore. To make this possible I modified two tiny text files of the game that specifies the fbrb. archives which are to be loaded by the game. With BFBC2 Mod Loader installed the game loads a few additional fbrb. archives which are located in BFBC2 Root\package\mods. My tool manages these archives and installs mods to it.
Works with Singleplayer, Multiplayer & Vietnam Add-On!
New: BFBC2 Mod Loader has a server and map browser now!
Features:
-Easy & fast installation of BFBC2 Mod Loader compatible mods
-Modifies only a few mod archives instead of ~1000 original game archives
-Does not modify original archives/files except two tiny text files
-Detects conflicts and blocks installation so you don't mess up your mod archive
-Disable & enable all mods and revert modified files back to original without deleting all mods
-A server and map browser that let you easily download and install custom maps
-UI for managing your mods (enable/disable and delete single mods, change load order etc.)

BFBC2 Toolkit and detailed instructions will follow soon™!

-No Bad Filter
-No Vietnam Filter
-Enhanced Draw Distance
-Vehicle HUD Overhaul

Requirements
-.NET Framework 4.6.1
-Python 2.7 (must be installed directly to C:\ drive)
Installation
Client
1. Copy all files and folders to your BFBC2 root folder. (where BFBC2Game.exe is located)
2. Execute "BFBC2ModLoader.exe" and click "Install Mod" to install a compatible mod.
3. That's it, enjoy!
Server
1. Copy all files and folders to your server root folder. (where Frost.Game.Main_Win32_Final.exe is located)
2. Execute "BFBC2ModLoader.exe" and click "Install Mod" to install a compatible mod.
3. That's it, enjoy!
Note: If you have both client & server you also need to install the tool for both.
To avoid confusion, I recommend to create a shortcut for both exe files and rename them to "BFBC2 Mod Loader Client" & "BFBC2 Mod Loader Server" for example. Only install client mods to client and server mods to server or it will cause issues and mess up your mod archive!
Tip: The title of my tool tells you if it is in client or server mode, so you always know which exe file you have opened.

Disclaimer
Since this tool modifies two game files directly, there is always the risk of a BAN! I'm using client side mods (only cosmetic stuff) on both official servers (Punkbuster protected) and Nexus Emulator/Project Rome servers for a long time now without any problems yet. Even the official servers are modded as hell, so I don't expect a ban in the future. I'm still NOT responsible for any BAN you get, so use this mod on your OWN RISK!
Download on Nexus Mods!
No direct download link, you will be redirected to the main page of this mod on Nexus Mods.
Note: Requires an account on Nexus Mods to download which is completely free!
