What it is

Hell2Modding is a free modding plugin and framework for Hades II, for players modifying the game and developers building mods for it. It uses ReturnOfModding as its base and lovely-lib for runtime patching. The main loader, d3d12.dll, goes beside Hades2.exe in the game's Ship folder; removing or renaming that DLL returns the game to an unmodded state. The project links to instructions for installing with r2modman, a community-created mod template, and the Hades Modding Discord. It lists Windows support and Steam Deck support through Proton, and uses injection to load mods. Plugin support, load-order control, and mod profiles are listed. The GitHub repository lists an MIT license. Its Releases page has a Nightly build created by GitHub Actions, with a SHA256 value and instructions for checking the downloaded DLL. The listed plan is free, with no plan limits stated.
