Darkside Update - Create Custom Heroes!
Aug 1, 2025
This past week we've pushed two updates to our Darkside modding project in order to help players create custom heroes!
Updates to the Darkside tool include:
Imported all Hero prefabs and their data files
Imported Ghoul and Lost Soul enemies and associated data files
Added FMOD project and FMOD plugin
Added editor for timeline clip overrides for custom animations
Add Zoom in Skill and Inline Skill creation buttons
Fixed missing materials for numerous hero VFX
Added Hero Template data directory based off Highwayman
Heroes created in the Hero Creation Tool are based off the Highwayman and his data. However, newly created heroes will not have SFX or localization that matches the Highwayman. Strings not localized will appear as blue text and will display the localization key required to be made in the mod's dd2_loc_strings.txt file. We have plans to generate the loc keys required in the future!
This is our first iteration of the hero creation tool. If you are a modder, we would love for you to try this hero creation tool and let us know about any issues you have so we can make improvements! Post your feedback in our Discord, or shoot us an email at feedback@redhookgames.com
