Mel Skin Selector
Hades II mod allowing you to select a dress for Melinoe from one of Arachne's boons and some custom skins by burn and Aunuch.
Includes portrait replacements for the Arachne dresses with support for optional custom skin related portraits.
Options to pick favorites and randomize dresses on run start.
Installation
Use r2modman by ebkr or GitHub.
While the mod has been tested decently well it is recommended to backup your save from %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\Hades II\Profile*.sav in case there are issues.
Usage
NEW: The menu can now also be opened from Crossroads by interacting with Arachne's silk stand in the training grounds or the shelf/cabinet in Melinoe's tent.
Use the Imgui menu (default toggle keybind: INSERT) or PonyMenu(new submenu in inventory) to select the dress.
Favorites are only available through the ingame menu.

Color selector
A color selector to allow setting any* dress and hair color. Only works with the ImGui menu (default toggle keybind: INSERT).
To activate, select Custom in the Dress drop-down and edit dress/hair colors and hit Apply. You can also use this menu to save/load presets.
Note: If the ImGui interface is unresponsive, try disabling vsync and setting a framerate cap though the ingame settings menu.
Includes support for selecting a random preset on run start. Custom should be favorited in the PonyMenu UI if there are other favorites selected.
Co-op Support
The mod also supports the Co-op mod by TheNormalnij. It'll only work if the co-op mod is loaded through the Hell2Modding ASI loader and the game is launched modded from r2modman/tsmm. Having both Hell2Modding and an addititonal ASI loader will break both mods.
The active player can be switched by using the Gift/Reroll button.
ImGui menu is not supprted for applying co-op skins, either use PonyMenu or Arachne's silk stand in the Crossroads.
Some known issues
- Random skin can sometimes apply the same skin over both players.
- Color selector skin cannot be different for both players.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- Most mods rely on the game's mod loader — the usual route is a community mod manager (such as r2modman): pick this game, install, and it handles the loader and dependencies.
- For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; mods with listed dependencies need those installed as well.
Install locations vary a lot between mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide. Hades II uses the game's built-in mod import — unzip the pack and place it where the readme says.
