Hell2Modding
What it is
Hell2Modding is a free modding plugin and framework for Hades II, for both players who install mods and developers who create them. It builds on ReturnOfModding and uses lovely-lib for runtime patching. Its primary loader, d3d12.dll, is placed beside Hades2.exe in the game's Ship folder. The project also links to installation guidance for r2modman, a community-created mod template, and the Hades Modding Discord. It supports Windows and Steam Deck through Proton, uses injection to load mods, and lists plugin support, load-order control, and mod profiles. The repository lists an MIT license. The Releases page provides a Nightly build produced by GitHub Actions, along with a SHA256 value for d3d12.dll and instructions for checking a downloaded artifact against it. The project documents removing the loader by renaming or deleting d3d12.dll to return to an unmodded game. Its listed free plan has no plan limits stated.
