Democracy Defender Mod Manager (DDMM), release candidate 8: your mods, your democracy, defended. It's still an
early build, but it's meant to be usable by anyone, not just developers.

The DDMM Promise, in brief: every mod is welcome (DDMM never blocks, blacklists or ranks mods or mod sites),
no account is ever needed on any site, your files stay in a folder you control, it's Apache-2.0 open source
forever, and update checks never run unless you ask.

Quick start

  1. Download the right file for you (see the table below).
  2. Run it. DDMM looks for your Helldivers 2 install automatically. If Steam is in its usual place, there's
    nothing to set up.
  3. Add mods and click Deploy. Drag in an archive or folder, or click "Add URL" and paste a link.

Works with AyakaMods, Nexus Mods, ModWorkshop, GameBanana, GitHub, any direct link, or files already on your
disk. Special love to the AyakaMods community ❤️, one of the best homes for Helldivers 2 modding. Go say hi:

What's new in 2.0.0-rc.8

New: import mods from another mod manager or a folder of archives (#35)

Import mods brings over hundreds of mods at once. DDMM finds mods installed with another mod manager, or any
folder of downloaded .zip/.7z/.rar archives, and shows a checklist with new, duplicate, and
already-installed mods so you can pick exactly what comes in. Load order, on/off state, chosen options, and Nexus
Mods info all come along, so update checks work right away. Mods you already added by hand get their Nexus info
linked automatically. Nothing is downloaded, the originals are only read, progress has a Cancel button, and you
get one summary at the end. Adding 10+ files at once through Add Folder/drag-and-drop now uses the same
checklist.

See Importing mods for the full
walkthrough.

Fixes

  • Mods added from Nexus Mods' newer download filenames were named only up to the first dot (a version number
    like 1.2.3 in the filename cut the name short); the full name is now used.
  • Archive files with .ZIP, .7Z, or .RAR in capitals now open correctly.

Known limitations

  • Windows builds are unsigned. Windows SmartScreen will likely show a warning the first time you run the
    installer or the app. Click "More info" → "Run anyway" to continue.
  • The Linux .rpm and .deb are unsigned, so openSUSE needs zypper install --allow-unsigned-rpm.
  • This is still a release candidate. Expect some rough edges, and please report what you find.
