Welcome to OpenBLCMM v1.3.0-rc.1! This is a release candidate of OpenBLCMM, which is a new 100% open-source fork of the original Borderlands Community Mod Manager (BLCMM). OpenBLCMM feels quite solid to us, and it seems to work fine, but this is being released as a candidate first so that we can solicit some extra help testing, prior to doing a full public release. Please let us know if you have any problems, either in via the Issues here on the github, or via Discord.

Changes since the previous Release Candidate:

  • Fixed text fuzziness when run on scaled desktops
  • Identified a few crashes that could happen on the EXE version, mostly related to the file dialog, and fixed those

About

OpenBLCMM is the next version of BLCMM which has a couple of main differences:

  1. It's 100% open-source
  2. The Windows version is entirely contained in an EXE. No Java install is required! There's also an installer which will get OpenBLCMM into your Start Menu.
  3. "Pure Java" versions support all current Java versions, up through Java 20
  4. Support for Assault on Dragon Keep (including OE data!)
  5. Object Explorer datapack handling is significantly different

OpenBLCMM is completely separate from BLCMM -- you can have both installed at the same time and they won't interfere with each other at all. You can even have them open at the same time if you want, though I wouldn't recommend pointing them at the same patch file.

Release Files

Windows

  • Installer (Recommended!) - OpenBLCMM-1.3.0-rc.2-Installer.exe
    • This is the easiest to get going! You'll also have a start menu entry, and optionally a desktop icon.
  • Zipfile EXE - OpenBLCMM-1.3.0-rc.2-Windows.zip
    • If you don't want to use an installer, this is the second-easiest. Just unzip wherever you like and doubleclick on OpenBLCMM.exe to run!
  • Pure Java - OpenBLCMM-1.3.0-rc.2-Java-Windows.zip
    • This version requires that Java is installed, and will not install Java for you. We recommend Adoptium Temurin. Supported Java versions are: 8, 11, 17, and 20. Launch with launch_openblcmm.bat once Java is installed.

Linux

  • Pure Java - OpenBLCMM-1.3.0-rc.2-Java-Linux.tgz
    • This version requires that Java is installed, and will not install Java for you. Just install via your distro's package manager. Supported Java versions are: 8, 11, 17, and 20. Launch with launch_openblcmm.sh one Java is installed.

Mac

  • Pure Java - OpenBLCMM-1.3.0-rc.2-Java-Mac.tgz
    • This version requires that Java is installed, and will not install Java for you. We recommend Adoptium Temurin. Supported Java versions are: 8, 11, 17, and 20. Launch by doubleclicking on launch_openblcmm.command.

Object Explorer Data Packs

  • Datapack Releases: https://github.com/BLCM/OpenBLCMM-Data/releases
    • Datapacks must now be downloaded manually. Download the ones you want and store them in the same directory as OpenBLCMM.exe or OpenBLCMM.jar. The app will see them on the next startup!
