Mods for Battlefield: Bad Company 2

[Aniroh]

Hey everyone, I just wanted to let you know that I'm creating mods for BFBC2.

You can find them on Nexus Mods! For more mods visit Venice Unleashed (I'm posting my mods there too).

Places where you can find mods:
Nexus Mods: https://www.nexusmods.com/battlefieldbadcompany2/mods/
Venice Unleashed: https://forums.veniceunleashed.net/viewforum.php?f=33
Unity Gamers: https://unitygamers.net/community/forums/bc2-tutorials-modifications/

Join our Discord server for more info about Battlefield mods:

I have also created a small tool called BFBC2 Mod Loader that makes mods easier to install. The tool also reduces conflicts between mods drastically because mods can be installed modularly with it. So as long as both mods don't modify exactly the same file, they are fully compatible.

BFBC2 Mod Loader: https://www.nexusmods.com/battlefieldbadcompany2/mods/4

And last: a playlist on Youtube that shows some of my mods in comparison to the vanilla game.

Let us bring the modding community back to life again, so don't forget to support your favorite modders by reporting bugs, giving feedback, making suggestions etc.! Especially Napisal deserves a lot of support for all the work he did in the past for the BFBC2 modding community! Without him & badbaubau I wouldn't even know about BFBC2 modding.

(Unfortunately, badbaubau is not active in the modding community anymore.)

Have a nice day/night, see you on the Battlefield! :D

PS.: If you have any bugs or other issues while using my mods, please report your problem in the "Bugs" section of the specific mod on Nexus Mods.

Edit: It does not link the Youtube playlist properly. Just visit my channel to see all videos.

Edit2: If you want to talk about Battlefield modding and mods, join Battlefield Modding Discord: https://discord.me/battlefieldmodding A Discord server all about modding the Battlefield series. We support everything from Battlefield 1942 to Battlefield V.

Edit3: From now on you can find our server Diesel vs Heico on EA and Nexus backend.
Mods are required! Use "BFBC2 Mod Loader" to download and install them.
Diesel vs Heico is a server with new custom maps. One of them includes planes/jets.

Can you do something for HUD?

[Aniroh]

Generally yes, but I need to know what exactly you would like to have changed for the HUD to tell you if it's possible.

[Good Onion]

I want to disappear it.
And be able to do it in multiplayer too if possible.

[Aniroh]

Will look into it.

Did anyone get bots working properly for this?

[Aniroh]

What do you mean by properly? Like BF2 for example? Not exactly, but there are bot mods around that are basically the bots of the singleplayer on multiplayer maps. Most of them are created by Napisal: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIcx-pztQ3rGfO3pbcd52OQ For more bot mods search something like "BFBC2 bot mods" on Google and Youtube.

Edit: Here is a tutorial and preview of the bots (skip to 15:30 for preview): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQ1POvq1RY8&t=101s

Do these work in multiplayer? As in, can I get banned in I use them on servers?

[Aniroh]

Yes, you can use them in multiplayer. Some people I know personally (including myself) use these mods on official servers with Punkbuster protection. You will not get banned because there is no detection for modified files, Punkbuster only monitors your memory (RAM) and not your hard drive. Mods have been around for years and people have been using mods for years now, even the official servers are modified as hell and EA/DICE doesn't care at all. And personally, I have never heard of a ban for using mods. But of course, I can't give you a 100% guarantee, so use them on your own risk. I'm not responsible for any ban you may receive. If you are worried too much, you can still play on unofficial servers (Nexus Emulator/Project Rome): https://forums.veniceunleashed.net/bf/ Mods are allowed there.

Update 1.4.0 is out now!

https://www.nexusmods.com/battlefieldbadcompany2/mods/4

[UPDATE] BFBC2 Mod Loader
Changelog
Version 1.4.0
-Added server browser (download and install all required maps for a server with a few clicks)
-Added map browser (download and install single maps with a few clicks, works for client and server)
-Added settings tab (includes only a button to check for updates manually yet)
-Added full map support (all types of maps should be fully supported now)
-Added 'Mixed' mode support for all custom maps (Conquest and Rush maps in one list)
-Added automatic update function for server and map browser list
-Added mod info window (replaced placeholder with a fancier version)
-Added latest news window (WIP)
-Added 'Start Game' button
-Added Procon config files under 'Miscellaneous Files' (for server owners)
-Improved several QOL things again (UI, tooltips, more detailed event log etc.)
-Restructured UI a bit to better fit the new tab control system
-Removed 'Close' button (it was just a placeholder)
-Uploaded screenshots to Nexus Mods

Info: A test server called "Diesel vs Heico" is up. As a start five custom maps are installed on this server (one with planes/jets). Make sure to check it out.
To install the required maps open BFBC2 Mod Loader, navigate to the "Server Browser", click on the server and then click "Install Mods". Be patient, the download and installation may take a while. How long it needs depends on your internet speed and the processing power of your computer (estimated average time is ~15 minutes). The tool could get in the "Not Responding" state. No worry, the tool is still working. Do NOT click hysterical around! A message box will appear when everything is done. Enjoy!

You can find the server on the Nexus/Project Rome backend:
https://forums.veniceunleashed.net/bf/
Follow these instructions to access the Nexus backend.

I may also start a server on the official EA backend in the future, but for now you will find a server by Diesel and me with custom maps on Nexus Emulator/Project Rome only.

Maps with bot support will follow soon!

Hey HeicoDE, can you do something or do you know a way to make us able to extract the sounds of the game?

I wonder why it is possible to extract sound files of bf4 but it is still impossible for bfbc2?!

What the hell they did with this game files?!

[Aniroh]

I think it's just because nobody had the time or the desire to figure out how to convert the files into a usable data format yet.

[Good Onion]

Wish I knew how to deal with it.
