A Borderlands 1 Loader

This loader allows you to bring any form of .dll files into the original Borderlands game.

The goal of this project is to prevent using an usual .dll injector.
Using this form of a loader allows a more user-friendly implementation of modifications to the game.

As Borderlands 1 is a x86 Application, please remember all modifications, including this one, need to be x86 compiled.

Installation

---

In order to install this loader, you will require a digital copy of Borderlands 1.
(Versions for more Information).

As we won't use a conventional .dll injector, we'll need to replace files within the original Game.
After research, i have decided to replace the original vorbisenc.dll file with a modified version of it.

Warning
For Devs: This method only works if you provide all functions the game needs from that .dll.

Now, follow these steps in order to install this loader successfully.

1. Get a compiled version of vorbisenc.dll from this repository.
2. Navigate to your Borderlands 1 Directory.
3. Open the "Binaries" folder, where the actual Borderlands.exe lies.
4. Replace the original vorbisenc.dll with your compiled one.
5. Restart your game.

The game now has a loader brought in.
By default, if there is not any \\scripts directory within \\Binaries, it will auto-create one.
