- Go to https://xuerian.github.io/RoR2LanguageEditor/ or open downloaded index.html
- Browse for and select one or more language files (Base languages are found in steamapps/common/Risk Of Rain 2/Risk of Rain 2_Data/StreamingAssets/Language/en)
- Optional: Apply existing .patch.language file
- Optional: Merge edited *.txt language files
- Make changes and see how they'll look in game as you do
- Save zz_{custom_language}.patch.json into language folder
Remove the .patch.json file
Risk of Rain 2 loads .json files in each language folder. By adding a file with a name sorted last alphabetically, it will effectively patch the loaded language, without having to overwrite anything
This has the advantage of not breaking immediately if new strings are added, or requiring you to revalidate when you want to remove the patch
- Create a BepInEx/Plugins/(Your choice)/ folder and place the .language file in it
