BL1 PythonSDK Mod Manager

PythonSDK Mod manager for Borderlands 1.

Preface

This will not work for the Enhanced version of the game

The SDK may be flagged as a virus by some antivirus programs. If this happens, you will need to add an exception to prevent it from being blocked or removed.

Installation

1. Download the latest PythonSDK-Release-X-Y-Z.zip from releases
2. Extract the contents of the zip file to your games directory C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Borderlands
   • Replace files if needed
3. Run your Borderlands game
4. Once in the main menu type mods into the console (Tilde by default will open the console)
   • If you see >>> mods <<< it means the SDK is not running/working
   • If you see something like ModMenu | ... then the SDK is running and working
5. You can find mods here
   • Installation is to copy the contents of the the_mods_name.zip to your sdk_mods directory or any of your additional_mod_dirs

Linux; aka I use arch btw

When launching with wine ensure these environment variables are set: WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dsound=n,b" %command% -nosplash

Configuring

The file Borderlands/Binaries/Plugins/unrealsdk.toml contains a variety of useful things for both mod developers and mod users. The primary thing is the additional_mod_dirs which lets you specify external places to load mods from. This is a comma separated list of directories to load mods from.

[modloader]
# ...
additional_mod_dirs = [
    # "G:/Games/BL1_Modding/bl1_sdk_mods/src/py",  # / or \\ can be used \ alone can not.
   "Path/To/Folder/WithMods",
   "Another/Path/To/Folder",
]
