Can you use the Nexus Mod "Hades II Alternative Portraits" and "Sexy Female Portraits" for the rest of the characters in the r2mod? These mods are based off of Hades2 Image Exporter_Importer which has not been updated in a while.

 

Both are a no go. I'm not always against AI, but the portraits don't look that they match the artstyle, and would look out of place with the rest of edits. 

 

Patience, we'll get through all the characters eventually.

Not yet done. Like this response all who would like to see a separate version, for the time being, without piercings, so I can gauge the demand.

Hades II Unveiled (🔥NSFW🔥) 18+ mod, with art from our @Dorian Bates.

 

It replaces some of Hades' hottest goddesses with even hotter art.

Took me a while to set up the ground work for Hades II, but we now have a pretty future proof mod, that will require only minor adjustments, as the game releases.

 

The first installation will take you about 15 minutes, but after that, you are all set.

(In my opinion, I gladly give up one run, so I can see some boobage on the next ones)

 

Note: I included almost every step, which might seem too much to most of you that are computer savvy, but this way a person with almost no computer knowledge can play the mod. The more, the merrier, I say 😌.

 

⚙️ INSTALLATION ⚙️

 

1️⃣ Download and extract the zip folder. 📂

 

2️⃣ Setup our mod "installer"- r2modman. - Needed for all future Hades II mods anyways.

 

     PROCESS:

   - Download, and install r2modman (https://thunderstore.io/package/ebkr/r2modman/). This is standard for Hades II mods.

   - Run r2modman, search for "Hades" in the search bar. Click "Select Game".

   - Select "Default" profile, or "Create New" (name it NSFW, for example).

   - On the left side menu you will see a "MODS" section. Click "Online".
   - You need to install essential mods, that are neccessary for most mods to run. Search for "ModUtil" and click on it, and "Download with dependencies".
   - Done. You should now have the number "7" next to the "Installed" text on the left side menu.
   - Click "Run modded" on the top left, and load the game once.
   - Close the game.

 

3️⃣ Find our target folder to copy into*

 

   - Open the unzipped mod folder (Medician-Unveiled)📂. This is where we will be copying from.
   - Press both "Windows + R" keys on the keyboard together.
   - Type %appdata%, and press ENTER.
   - It will open a file explorer window that puts you in C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming (user will be your own name).
   - There, go to: ...\r2modmanPlus-local\HadesII\profiles
   - In \profiles open the profile we created in r2modman during step 2 (Default, or NSFW, etc.).
   - There open folder "ReturnOfModding".

   - This is where we will make the mod playable.

 

4️⃣ Copy-Paste step*
   
   - First create 2 folders, both named "Medician-Unveiled". One in ...\ReturnOfModding\plugins, and one in ...\ReturnOfModding\plugins_data.
   A) plugins_data:
   - From our mod📂: copy everything that is inside the "plugins_data" - 2 files (pkg).
   - ➡️Paste it in the other window in the ...\ReturnOfModding\plugins_data\Medician-Unveiled.

   B) plugins:
   - From our mod📂: copy everything that is inside the "plugins" - 6 files (config.lua, def.lua, main.lua, ...).
   - ➡️Paste it in the other window in the ...\ReturnOfModding\plugins\Medician-Unveiled.
   - From our mod📂: copy everything else that is in the folder (CHANGELOG, icon, LICENSE, manifest, README).
   - ➡️Paste in ...\ReturnOfModding\plugins\Medician-Unveiled

   DONE! 🙌

 

5️⃣ Run Hades II with some spicy art 🌶️

 

   - Open r2modman, select Hades II, then the profile. You will still see "7" mods, that's normal- it shows only online mods (we installed our's locally).
   - Click "Start modded"

   - ENJOY!😄
   

 

Feedback needed, and appreciated! 🫵😎

 

*because the mod is not published online (on thunderstone), we need to set it up locally, which requires step 3 and 4.

# v0.0.3 - ??? 🤫

So what characters are currently covered? Or rather, uncovered? Is it still Melinoe, Hera, Demeter, and Aphrodite?

 

Edit: I somehow forgot best girl Artemis.

Hi. This looks fantastic. But are there mods like this for Hades 1 game?

I totally agree that the art style of those mods is not on the mark. I like the idea of replacing the sprites in the game (especially the hot springs ones). I think we could get some nice AI ones.  I've worked on a few images that I think work with the art style much better. What do you think?
 

I'm totally open to working with Medician and Dorian if you all are game and there's interest.

Bringing back this comment to share Dorian's opinion on the matter,

And I also don't support AI at all, I really have no idea what you're saying about that matching the art style at all because that 100% just looks like AI shit slop, you can't seriously tell me you think that that looks anything like the art that's in Hades,

 

But, putting personal thoughts and opinions aside, I do realize it has been a while since any progress has been made, as far as I know, Dorian is on an indefinite hiatus for the time being, no idea when things will work out. Don't really have a good solution, I don't think anyone is committed enough to this project to commission a different artist for edits, maybe people can try giving it a shot at actually editing the sprites themselves? The bar to surpass that AI image is not high, so taking a shot couldn't hurt, but, yeah, unlikely many people are going to step up to that, especially considering Hades 2 is in early access and I'd assume a lot of people, like me, are waiting until the full release before really getting into it, so it's not as widespread in popularity as Hades 1 just yet.

Basically, don't really have a good solution, but I can say AI is a bad solution for this issue.

For me this looks pretty good. Hand drawn edits are almost always better tho

[Kuipo]

@Someone23832 that’s fair if you don’t like it. Honestly I understand the dislike of AI art and I am universally against companies using it or even people using it for profit. I am playing around with it currently to understand the tools as I believe they will be used in the future (hopefully after some of the ethics concerns around AI “art” are figured out). 
 

So don’t get me wrong, I’m not one of those AI bros that think I’m “making art” when using these tools. Let’s be real though… taking already existing art assets and just shifting a shirt or skirt by 30 pixels so that a body part is exposed isn’t really any better when it comes to ethics.

 

It would match the art style more since 95% of the art is unchanged of course, and I’m open to editing the original art using the same tools. I can inpaint most of the artwork in way less time than making entirely new images. There’s no reason I can’t make both in the end as well.

Oh this is better than most, since you are able to get most of her details/accessories right! Though, I feel that her expression is too neutral, maybe you can try matching the original art by making her look downwards with some blush on her face?

Is there an update to this? I installed all the files as they should be and the portraits are still the default. Im not sure if an update has gone through since this post making it not work or not.

[testdrf]

Haven't tried it myself yet, but someone's uploaded a new tool that allows for importing Hades 2 models and animations directly into Blender, then exporting them back into the game's format. It was a massive pain in the ass before, so hopefully this makes things easier

 

https://github.com/LuneMods/io_Hades2blender

[AB01]

Why no one made ones for first  game yet?

[Donekij992]

I found this on Nexus. Hades 1 and 2 got vortex extensions. I hope it makes modding the game easier.

[_DingleBerry_]

Man I really hope someone can eventually figure out how to rip 3D models from this game. I've been playing Hades II recently and I noticed every time Melinoe runs you can see the crease of her left butt cheek because her skit is shorter on that side. It's such a tease it's driving me crazy, I need to see what kind of cake situation she's got going on under there. It's actually distracting to the point where my skills suffer as if I was down 50 IQ points, and I already don't have that many to spare. The only solution is to remove the skirt entirely, yup ahuh.

Unfortunately this doesn't seem to be currently working, the conversion from GR2 to DAE is failing. I even used Blender 4.1.0 which is the version the add-on was tested under. Something has likely changed since patching.

Which file did you try? I just did it with Melinoe, Chronos, and Artemis in Blender 4.3 and it worked fine

Huh not sure what I'm doing wrong, at least that's good news if you're able to get it to work. I tried it on Melinoe_Mesh.gr2.lz4 which I found in the "Content/GR2/_Optimized" directory.

I was never able to import the Hades models into blender, although testdrf said that they were successful. I'm not sure what happened to them or whether or not their account is a throwaway.

I finished all the female characters using AI but there was enough negative feedback I decided it wasn’t worth releasing. I haven’t checked it since the new update either so it may not work at the moment.
