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!
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 Mod Loader is completely open source! The source code can be found on GitHub.
For Modders
The easiest and fastest way to create mods is by using BFBC2 Toolkit. Instructions will follow soon. (recommended)
You can also create mods manually by using the mod templates located under "Miscellaneous Files". (not recommended)
To learn how to create mods make sure to check out Venice Unleashed Forum, Napisal's Youtube Channel and our Discord server.
For Server Owners
If you have mods installed on your server and would like your server to be added to the server browser of this tool, please contact me here.
You can also join Battlefield Modding Discord and contact me there or just contact me directly: aniroh.
Joining Battlefield Modding Discord is recommended if you don't want to miss an update for BFBC2 Mod Loader or a map anymore.
If you need support or if you are server owner, modder or mod user and simply want to discuss about Battlefield mods and modding, join our Battlefield Modding Discord server! A Discord server all about modding the Battlefield series.
If you want to support, please consider supporting me by reporting bugs, giving feedback, making suggestions
or endorsing this mod if you like it.
Any kind of financial support is also very much appreciated and will keep things going. All donations will be invested in my personal projects, my (atm mainly Battlefield) servers (including related websites and Discord bots), new tech (both server and personal tech) and the coffee and tea that keeps me awake while working.
No known issues yet.
PathTooLongException - This is a limitation of Windows and not a bug of BFBC2 Mod Loader.

Not compatible with mods that are modifying package.mft or bundleManifest, but they can be made compatible by either modifying the package.mft and bundleManifest or by repacking the mod like described in the section For Modders above. I may add a tutorial soon™.

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.

Since BFBC2 Mod Loader modifies two game files directly, there is always the risk of a BAN! I use client-side modifications (cosmetic stuff only) on official servers (Punkbuster protected) as well as on Nexus Emulator/Project Rome servers for a long time without any problems. Even the official servers are modded as hell, so I don't expect a ban in the future. I am still NOT responsible for any BAN you get, so use this mod on your OWN RISK!

Game files or any other form of copyrighted materials will NOT be shipped with this tool! Everybody must provide the game files on his own. I do NOT support piracy in any way, so if you face issues, first make sure that you own a legal copy of the game!
