Hell 2 Modding

Hades Modding Discord

Manual Installation

• Place the main Hell2Modding file, called d3d12.dll, next to the game executable called Hades2.exe inside the game folder.

User Interface

• Ships with a ImGui user interface. The default key for opening the GUI is INSERT. You can change the key inside the Hell2Modding/config/Hotkeys.cfg file

Creating mods

• Define a main.lua file in which to code your mod.

• Create a manifest.json file that follows the Thunderstore Version 1 Manifest format.

• Create a folder whose name follows the GUID format TeamName-ModName, for example: Hell2Modding-DebugToolkit.

• Place the main.lua file and the manifest.json file in the folder you've just created.

• Place the newly created folder in the plugins folder in the Hell2Modding root folder, called Hell2Modding, so the path to your manifest.json should be something like Hell2Modding/plugins/Hell2Modding-DebugToolkit/manifest.json.

• You can check the existing examples in that github repository if you wanna try stuff out.

Interesting folders under the root folder:

• plugins: Location of .lua, README, manifest.json files.
• plugins_data: Used for data that must persist between sessions but not be manipulated by the user.
• config: Used for data that must persist between sessions and that can be manipulated by the user.
