1. Setup & Prerequisites
- Some development experience is recommended but not required, as Hades is a very simple game to make mods for. Hades mods are made in the LUA language, with data files being in SJSON.
- You need to have installed Mod Utility, using Mod Importer.
- You need an IDE (Integrated Development Environment). It's a software that makes writing code simpler. For Hades, it's recommended to use Visual Studio Code, though there are many others available. This tutorial will be using VS Code.
- You need to enable debug mode, which is done by using the launch options
/DebugDraw=true /DebugKeysEnabled=true. Most launchers support adding those, on Steam open the game's properties and in the General tab you have a bar where you can add them.- If your launcher doesn't support it, you can make a shortcut to Hades.exe in the x64 folder and add the launch options at the end of the 'Target' field.
