HD2 Mod Quick Deploy 0.14.1 (developer build)

A mod manager for Helldivers 2 that deploys incrementally with hard links: a
typical deploy takes 0.13–0.29 s and writes no mod data. It also
settles conflicts resource by resource and looks after the Lua mod loaders.

This is a developer build: it has no Nexus Mods integration (no sign-in,
no Mod Manager Download button, no Nexus update checks). Everything else is in
it. Its own update check also counts pre-releases like this one.

New since 0.14.0

  • What each loader can do is read from its code where possible. Boot Mod
    Loader's guest start-up scripts and its hand-off to Chef Shared Loader, and
    Chef's acceptance of that hand-off, are recognised by the code that does
    them, not only by version numbers. MDL3's code is obfuscated, so for MDL3 its
    version still decides.
  • One set of rules for the loaders. The deploy, the checks of which Lua mods
    start, the command line and the Lua loaders page now all follow the same
    rules, so the compatibility table can no longer say something the deploy
    does not do.
  • The compatibility table is shorter: loaders, whether they can be used
    together, and how. The basis column is gone.
  • Fix: a Chef Shared Loader older than 1.2.0, which cannot take the hand-off,
    is no longer deployed beside Boot Mod Loader.

New in 0.14.0

  • MDL3 beside Boot Mod Loader: MDL3 is deployed too and runs as Boot Mod
    Loader's guest when a mod on uses its audio or data.
  • MDL3 in Chef Shared Loader's place: MDL3 3.0.0-dev.22 and later run the
    mods made for Chef themselves (without what they draw on the screen, for now).
  • Compatibility between loaders on the Lua loaders page.
  • MDL3 installs for Chinese user names.

Download

  • HD2.Mod.Quick.Deploy.exe: the window. Put it in any folder and run it.
  • hd2qd.exe: the command line, optional.
  • HD2.Mod.Quick.Deploy.0.14.1-dev.zip: both, with the license.

Nothing to install: both need only the .NET Framework 4.8 included with
Windows 10 (1903 or later) and 11.

Before you start

  • Use one manager for deploying: another manager's deploy undoes this one's.
  • Do not edit a deployed patch file in place: it is the library's own file.
