ODG
Who we are, what the pack touches on your machine, and how updates reach you.
OPERATOR ships no mod tools. There's no SDK, no editor and no documentation. Everything in this pack was built without them.
ODG is a small group of players making mods for OPERATOR. A hundred and four developer builds went by before the first public one. The current pack, v2.2.3, has twenty-six mods and six missions. None of it is official, and we have no connection to the developers or publishers of the game.

There is no studio behind ODG and nobody drawing a wage from it. OPERATOR ships no mod tools, so Archduke and the people around him worked every part of it out from the outside, with no SDK, no editor and no documentation to start from. It gets made for love of the game and for nothing else.
Archduke spent release day awake for thirty-three hours straight. Over a thousand lines of code went in on that one day, getting the last of it working. Then it went out free, the way the hundred and four builds before it were always going to.
Nearly all of the pack goes into the game's Mods folder. A few of the game's own clothing textures are replaced as well. Your saves are never touched. To go back to stock, use SETTINGS, then UNINSTALL in the launcher, and let Steam verify the game files.
Everyone in a lobby needs the same pack version. The launcher shows it at the top. Start the launcher and let it finish updating before you host.
The first run pulls about 2.4 GB of map data on top of the pack. Updates after that are small, because the maps aren't downloaded again.
The launcher checks for updates every time it starts, before OPERATOR opens. It installs the new pack from GitHub, restarts itself when there is a new launcher, and asks before deleting anything an older version left behind.
Sign in with Steam on the launcher's ACCOUNT page once. Then open REPORT and press SEND REPORT. It sends every log we need and gives you a ticket number back.
ODG is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the developers or publishers of OPERATOR. Every trademark belongs to its owner.
You don't need to know what a mod loader is. The launcher checks the game folder, installs what's missing, pulls the current pack, unpacks the maps and starts the game. On Linux and the Steam Deck, a small installer does the same job from a terminal.
What ships is what was tested. The pack mirrors the game folder, so the files on your machine are the same files we play with.
