Hell2Modding is a free plugin and framework for modding Hades II. It is intended for players who want to mod the game as well as developers building mods for it. The framework builds on ReturnOfModding and uses lovely-lib for runtime patching. Its main loader is d3d12.dll, which the project instructions place beside Hades2.exe in the game's Ship folder. To remove the loader or return the game to an unmodded state, rename or delete that file. The project links to instructions for installing with r2modman, a community-made mod template and the Hades Modding Discord. It lists Windows and Steam Deck through Proton as supported platforms, uses injection to load mods, and includes plugin support, load-order control and mod profiles. The Releases page lists a Nightly build created by GitHub Actions. That release publishes a SHA256 value for d3d12.dll and explains how to compare it with a downloaded artifact. The repository lists an MIT license, and the listed plan costs 0.00 USD per free with no plan limits stated.
