SEVERANCE, BLADE OF DARKNESS SEVERANCE, BLADE OF DARKNESS Bigtruck's pagesUpdated August14, 2005 BOD LOADERBODLoader v 0.5 - by Masklin May-2001Translation by BirdMadBoyand Josh DahlbyDescription:BODLoader is a mod manager for Blade of Darkness. It is capable ofdownloading, installing, and uninstalling various mods and mapsthat are created.The main features are:- Minimum Blade source code changes. It just adds one line to thebottom of Menu.py.- Integrated into Blade's interface.- Allows to install/uninstall compatible mods- Allows to activate/deactivate compatible mods.- Every mod can add its own Mods menu.- Easy adaptation of already developed mods to make themcompatible with BODLoader.- Support for customized maps.- Support for multilanguage.- Supports downloading mods and maps from internetThings left todo:- Support for definable keys.- Compatibility tests for installed mods: functions and scripts.Note:This distribution does not include example mods. All theavailable mods and maps can be downloaded easily from theBODLoader 'DOWNLOAD' menu.Installation:If you have not installed BODLoader before, but have installedother mods, it is recommended that you uninstall those mods priorto the installation of BODLoader. If you are unsure how toinstall those mods, you may want to reinstall Blade in order toensure that you have a clean install.If you had installed BODLoader 0.1 or 0.2, please remove theBLData.py file from the BODLoader directory before proceeding.1. Extract BODLoader05a.zip file to the blade installation directory.The default directory is C:CodemastersBlade of Darkness.For the european version, it is C:Codemasters Severance.Make sure to use folder names when unzipping. (In WinZip,check the 'Use folder names' checkbox in the Extract dialog.)In the picture, BOD is installed in H: and not C: but the foldersare the same.2.

The above step will create a BODLoader directory under theBlade directory. Execute BLSetup.exe from the BODLoaderdirectory.3.

Now, start Blade. You should see a 'MODS' menu in the mainmenu. That means it successfully installed.Use:The Mods menu has the following options:- Installed Mods: Shows a list of all mods installed withBODLoader. If the mod is enabled, the symbols ' appeararound the mod name. If the mod has a custom menu you can accessit by pressing ENTER when the mod name is highlighted.- Setup: This menu allows you to install mods that exist in theBODLoaderMods directory. You should see a mod name with the' symbols around it.

When the name is highlighted,you can press the right and left arrows on your keyboard toswitch between mods. When a mod you are interested in isselected, you have the following options:- Install: Select this menu item to install the mod.- Uninstall: If the mod is installed, you can uninstall it byselecting this menu item.- Disable: This menu item can be used to disable the mod, butit doesn't install it.- Enable: If the mod is previously disabled, you can reenableit by selecting this item.- Options: If the mod has a custom menu, you can reach it byselecting this menu.

This is the same as selecting the modname from the 'Installed Mods' menu, mentioned above.- Load Custom Map: This menu allows you to install maps thatexist in the BODLoaderMaps directory. You should see a mapname with the ' symbols around it. When the name ishighlighted, you can press the right and left arrows on yourkeyboard to switch between maps. When a map you are interestedin is selected, you have the following options:- Install: Select this menu item to install the map.- Uninstal l: If the map is installed, you can uninstall it byselecting this menu item.- Start: This map allows you to start the map in single playermode.- Downloads: This menu allows you to get new maps and mods fromthe internet or upgrade existing ones. The first menu itemshows your currently selected server.

You can press the right orleft arrows to switch between servers. When you select aserver, it shows you some information about the server, likewhere the server is and how many mods and maps the server ishosting. Select 'Continue' to view the list of mods and mapsavailable. After selecting 'Continue' you will see thefollowing:-: You should see a mod or map name with the' symbols around it. When the name ishighlighted, you can press the right and left arrows on yourkeyboard to switch between mods or maps. Each map andmod has the following static information:.

Either 'Map' or 'Mod' shows right above the name to tellyou what kind of download it is. Right below the name is the version number. Next is the author name.

This is the person that ismainly responsible for the download. The web site address comes next. Then the size of the download.- Install: This allows you to install the selected item.After installing, you can go to either the'Installed Mods' or 'Launch Custom Map' menusas described above.- Upgrade: If a new version of the map or mod exists, thisoption will show up. Selecting Upgrade, willuninstall the previous version and install thenew version. NOTE: In some cases it may benecessary to restart Blade in order for the modto work after an upgrade. If you upgradeBODLoader, you must restart Blade.-Installing Mods and Maps without Internet Access:If you don't have access to Internet, you can continue using modsand maps with BODLoader:.

For new compatible mods, put the files in a new subdirectoryunder BODLoader/Mods. For example, to use the Respawn mod, youwould create a directory called 'Respawn' so that you would haveBODLoader/Mods/Respawn and then unzip the mod into thatdirectory. Then load Blade, and use the 'Setup' menu describedabove. For new compatible maps, put the files in a new subdirectoryunder BODLoader/Maps.

For example, to use the Slayer map, youwould create a directory called 'slayer' so that you would haveBODLoader/Maps/slayer and then unzip the map into thatdirectory. Then load Blade, and use the 'Setup' menu describedabove.Notes:I have checked this distribution of BODLoader.

However ispossible this BODloader version could break the Bladeinstalation or any mod installed. Use at your own risk.Technical notes:The installation process creates the folllowing dirs struct:BOD-BODLoader-Mods = new mods to install-Maps = new maps to install-Init = Init scripts for actived mods-Bck = Substituted scripts backup-Uns = needed to uninstall soport-Downloads = Downloads from internetIn BODBODLoader there is a file (BLData.py) with informationabout available mods and their state.Mods adaptation:At first, is easy to adapt a mod to make it compatible withBodLoader. Is a must to add two scripts:- BLModInfo.py: with all the mod data: name, description,autor. As the dirs to create and the different scriptslocation/destination too.- BLModInit.py: the mod inititalization code and mod menu optionsdefinitions.There are included two templates from both files and thecorresponding included mods.As they are python scripts, is possible to code almost anythinginside them although is preferible to maintain them as easy ascan be and put mods code inside external files.

Maybe in the nextrelease a BLModDis.py with aditional code to deactivate the modwill be included.We will see how this evolves, but i think that something like thisis needed in order to not substitute RAS original scripts withevery mod installed/added to blade. Original functions can beoverriden/reimplemented in mods and Python is very powerfulldoing this but i think this should be made only when needed.

Andif the mod is not played in a particular map, it should be ableto activate/deactivate it from the menu or with a key.Mods can include translated text for the menu titles and the modmessages.Maps creation:The Maps are bw files created with the LED or copied from theoriginal distribution. To play a map Blade needs severalfiles: pj.py. BODLoader generates all thesefiles during the installation so you can play to the map justby leaving the file bw in a subdirectorio of BODLoaderMapsand, optionally, creating a BLMapInfo.py file.BODLoader doesn't create one of these files if it alreadyexists, so we can write customized maps. These are thegeneration rules:- pj.py: The character is created as BLMapInfo requests.As default, a Knight at (0,-1500,0) position.- cfg.py: Basic init code and lvl load.- lvl: All mmps from 3dChars and usuals 3dObjs. Also, anymmp into map folder. As WorldDome a file likenamed.mmp is chosen, if it exists, or casad.mmpotherwise.For example, to generate a map we can copy all the mmps and thebw file from a Blade level.

Then BODLoader can start Blade inthis map.This option is, mainly, to test LED generated maps and forsimple Map distributions. For more complex Map uses the Modfunctionalities of BODLoader.Legal Comments (or something like that ):BODLoader is a script that adds new functions to Rebelact Blade/Severance game; all rights reserved to Ras for doing this greatgame.BODLoader is distributed in Ras forums, Blade Mods. Just forpure fun and thanks to Rebelact´s idea of letting the scriptssource code available. If this is a problem for Ras or thereare legal conflicts, we stop doing immediately.MasklinCREDITS:I would like to thank a lot of people for there support. Hereis a very incomplete list.BirdMadBoy and Josh Dahlby began the mods loader projectat Bladex. Thanks for their technical contributions.Josh has developed ModBrowser which has enabledinternet download into BODLoader. Also, he is alwaysavailable to solve any question and to make good suggestions.Goosebrush has been my best bug hunter.
