Game must be started from inside the manager or mods will not load, and the installer comes from an external link rather than the GitHub repo.

In plain English

This repository is another listing page for Frosty Mod Manager, this time pointed at Star Wars Battlefront II (the 2017 EA release). The README is styled as a dark themed landing page with a Steam header image and a large download button that links out to an external site. The repo does not appear to contain source code for the program, just a description of what the linked installer is supposed to do and a short walkthrough of how to use it. Frosty Mod Manager works with games built on EA's Frostbite engine. The README says that for Battlefront II the tool can install finished mods packaged as .fbmod files and also accept .zip.rar, and .7z archives. It tracks a load order so two mods that change the same thing can be sorted by priority, and it supports multiple profiles for keeping different setups side by side. A separate program called Frosty Editor is bundled for people who want to make their own mods, with options to preview and export textures and meshes. The usage flow is short. You run setup.exe, point the manager at the Battlefront II launcher executable, select the mods you want from your imported list, click 'Apply Mod(s)', and start the game from inside the manager rather than from EA's launcher. The README warns that if you start the game any other way, the mods will not load. Users on unofficial versions of the game, or who want to bypass the EA App, are pointed at a separate utility called Frosty Fix for that purpose. The cautions in the README are similar to other Frosty entries. Only Windows 10 and 11 in 64-bit are supported, and there is no Linux or macOS build. Online anti-cheat systems can flag modified files, so the author recommends using an alternate account for multiplayer. You will probably also need to add the Frosty folder to your antivirus exclusion list because mod loaders are often flagged as false positives. The README provides no source code, build steps, or license file, so what you get depends on the external download link rather than on this repository.
