🛠️ How to Use

1. Download the app from GitHub Releases.
2. Select your Brown Dust 2 directory (where BrownDust II.exe is located)
   • Example: F:\Neowiz\Browndust2\Browndust2_10000001
3. Install BepInEx and BrownDustX

   • Download both from the BrownDustX Discord: discord.gg/B3Aqz6tDG2

   • Manual Steps:

     Install BepInEx

     Extract the contents of the BepInEx archive into the game folder (you can open the game folder from the mod manager) (NOT the launcher folder).

     Your folder should look like this:

        Browndust2_10000001/
        ├─ BepInEx/
        ├─ winhttp.dll
        └─ BrownDust II.exe
     

     The BepInEx archive from the BrownDustX Discord already includes ConfigurationManager.

     Install BrownDustX

     Extract the BepInEx folder from BrownDustX-[VERSION].zip into the same game folder.

     Your folder should look like this:

        Browndust2_10000001/
        ├─ BepInEx/
        │  └─ plugins/
        │     └─ BrownDustX/
        └─ BrownDust II.exe
     

4. Verify the installation
   • Launch the game.
   • On the loading screen, the game version and BrownDustX version should appear in red at the top-right corner.
5. Add your mods by:
   • Moving them into the mods/ folder
     ⚠️ Note: This is not the BrownDustX mods directory. It's a separate folder used by this manager
6. Enable or disable mods.
7. Sync your mods to apply changes:
   • This will create a folder named BD2MM inside the BrownDustX mods folder with all your enabled mods.

⚠️ After making any changes (enable, disable, delete, rename), you must sync your mods to update the game folder.

Sync Method: Copy vs Symlink

Choose how mods are synced to your BrownDust X mods folder:

📁 Copy

Copies all enabled mods into the folder.

• ✅ No admin rights needed
• ❌ Slower
• ❌ Uses more disk space

🔗 Symlink

Creates shortcuts instead of copying files.

• ✅ Much faster
• ✅ Saves disk space
• ❌ Requires admin rights
