Blade Mods

BODLoader	April 26th, 2001
written by Masklin
Masklin has produced an excellent mod loader called BODLoader. All the mods on this site use it to integrate with Blade. It has many features that make integration and installation easy and safe. Download and install maps and mods directly from the Internet. Minimal changes to core source code. It adds 1 line to the end of Menu.py, and it appends it, so it doesn't need to ship a new Menu.py. This will allow it to work with any patches that come out, or even other mods that are not written to use BODLoader. It installs an uninstalls mods. By providing a BLModInfo.py configuration file, a mod is able to specify what gets installed and where. This means that mods will be easier for users to install. Allows you to deactivate mods if you don't want to use them, but don't want to uninstall them. Custom Map Loading IMPORTANT: Please read the readme file included in BODLoader before using it. Two flavors to chose from. Either the zip file (BODLoader05a.zip (130k)) or the self installing executable (BODLoader05a.exe (677k)). The readme contains installation instruction for the zip file version.
