    Hi

    Risen 2 is moddable , the same as risen 1

    with a few differences though

    steps needed to make it happen are as follow:

    To get access to the folder structure of for example templates.pak

    You need an extract tool to do this:

    Link

    Steps:

    1: make a new folder on desktop , name it templateextract
    2: extract risenaut.7z into this folder
    3: copy templates.pak from ( in my case c:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\risen 2\data\common) into
    templateextract folder.
    4: run risenaut, open templates.pak, click extract all
    it will make a folder named templates
    inside the templateextract folder
    5: You will see a bunch of folders inside templates folder
    6: In my case i wanted to alter the starters weapon
    the hero picks up when in his room at the start of a new
    game. In risen 1 there is a nifty program that lets you
    edit the so called .TPLE files , called tpledit
    At the moment this program does not work yet for risen 2
    7: So we need to fall back to Hexediting the .TPLE file itself
    8: We need a Freeware Hexeditor for that, I choosed

    Link

    but feel free to use any Freeware Hexeditor you prefer.
    9: Now to the weapon mentioned in step 5 above.
    (for the sake of this mod guide i used HxD)
    Run HxD , file , open C:\Users\user name\Desktop
    \templateextract\templates\Items\Weapon_Pierce
    \It_Pie_Officer.tple
    10: Locate in HxD view window GEC0EÊL (this is the "header"
    where the weapon damage stats are)
    11: Locate a bit down CD 93 3C B2 04 88 96 AD 04 00 00 00 14
    14 hex = 20 decimal which is the min damage the weapon does
    change 14 in to FF , and min damage will be 255 in game
    If you want to do 65535 damage change :
    CD 93 3C B2 04 88 96 AD 04 00 00 00 14 into:
    CD 93 3C B2 04 88 96 AD 04 00 00 00 FF FF
    12: Locate CD 93 3C B2 0A 0E 6D 18 04 00 00 00 28
    28 hex= 40 decimal which is the max damage the weapon does
    change 28 in to FF , and max damage will be 255 in game
    If you want to do 65535 damage change :
    CD 93 3C B2 0A 0E 6D 18 04 00 00 00 28 into:
    CD 93 3C B2 0A 0E 6D 18 04 00 00 00 FF FF
    13: In HxD after you made your edits, File Save, and close HxD

    14: Now to the part to make the game "make use" of our mod
    We need to locate the next folder ( in case of windows 7)
    C:\Users\user name\AppData\Local\Risen2\Config
    Make a folder named data
    so it will look like this :
    C:\Users\user name\AppData\Local\Risen2\Config\data
    NOTE: IF appdata folder does not show ( its standard hidden
    in windows 7, do Tools, folder options, view , checkmark
    show hidden folders etc,
    15: Copy templates folder from templateextract folder to
    C:\Users\user name\AppData\Local\Risen2\Config\data
    It will look like this: C:\Users\user name\AppData\Local
    \Risen2\Config\data\templates
    16: Run Game.........oh noes!!!!
    what the heck the modded weapon still shows old damages
    ( took me a while to find this one out ^^)

    17: Locate Game folder in my case:
    c:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\risen
    2\data\ini
    18: Make a copy of mountlist_packed.ini, put it somewhere save
    Open mountlist_packed.ini in notepad.
    change NoPhysical=true into:
    NoPhysical=false
    Save file.

    19: Now if you did everything correct,
    when you start game or load a game your (starters weapon)
    will show or 255 damage or 65535 damage

    PS credits go to nico for his risenaut program

    happy modding and gaming
