Borderlands 2 Vortex Extension

This extension adds Borderlands 2 modding support to Vortex Mod Manager.

The Steam and Epic versions of the game should be automatically discovered. Other versions may need to select the install location manually.

This extension will automatically download and install the TFC Installer for UE2/3, OpenBLCMM, and Python SDK.  These tools are used by many mods.

Mod Installation Notes:

• []Automatically downloads and installs TFC Installer automatically to the "TFCInstaller" folder.

  []Installs TFC Installer mods to "TFCInstaller\Mods" folder.

  []Automatically downloads and installs the Python SDK to the root folder.

  []Installs SDK mods (.py and .sdkmod files) to the "sdk_mods" folder.

  []Automatically downloads and installs OpenBLCMM to the root folder.

  []Mods with .blcm files are installed to the "Binaries" folder (correct location to be executed from the command line).

  []Text file mods for BLCMM will be installed to the root folder (they are .txt files, so it not feasible to move them to the "Binaries/mods" folder automatically).

  []Installs mods with a folder in the game root to the root folder (i.e. "WillowGame").

  []Installs mods with a subfolder of "WillowGame" to that location (i.e. "CookedPCConsole", "Movies").

  []Mods with a .upk/.pck file will be installed to the "CookedPCConsole" folder.

  []Installs Movies mods (.bik) to the "WillowGame\Movies" folder.

  []Any mod with a "Borderlands2.exe" or .dll file will be installed to the "Binaries" folder (exact folder varies based on game version).

  []Other mods not described above are installed to the game root folder.

  Usage Notes:

  • []You can open several useful files and folders using the buttons within the folder icon on the Mods toolbar.

    []Includes a tool for UPK Explorer. The tool will be installed to the "UPK Explorer" folder.

    []Includes a tool to run the Save Editor.

    []If your mod requires TFC Installer, you need to run the automatically downloaded tool from the Dashboard in Vortex to install those mods to the game archives.

    []When using mods with OpenBLCMM, you must combine all mods into a single file and execute it from the command line in the main menu.

    [] Example:  exec patch.blcm
