About this mod Author’s original text

Thanks for downloading my mod! It's not much, but it means a lot.

If you can, I recommend you read the whole thing! FAQ at the bottom.

This mod was made during patch 1.0.5.

It should work on other future versions, but I can't confirm that with 100% (or 1000%) certainty.

[Installation Instructions]

This mod comes in TWO parts!

You can use them independently, or at the same time!

Part 1 - LTG Sprites and Sounds

This part of the mod includes the sprites and sound effects for the mod.

1 - Go to your Risk of Rain Returns file directory. It should be located in your Steam folder:

".../steam/steamapps/common/Risk of Rain Returns"

Alternatively, follow these steps:

1a - Go to Risk of Rain Returns in your Steam Library.

1b - Right click the game on the sidebar.

1c - Go to "Properties", then go to "Installed Files", then click "Browse..."

This should open up the Risk of Rain Returns directory folder.

2 - Make a new folder in a place you can easily access (or inside the directory itself) and name it whatever you want.

Move or copy "data.win" into the new folder and rename it to anything you want.

This is your backup, in case something goes horribly wrong!

(And if something has already gone horribly wrong, I have included my own backup file in this pack!)

3 - Copy or move the data.win file from the mod into your "Risk of Rain Returns" folder.

If it asks you if you want to replace the current "data.win" file, verify you have a backup and say yes.

You have now successfully installed the sprites and sounds for the LTG Mod!

Part 2 - Language File

This part of the mod alters text, like the logbook and item name, along with some additonal stuff like death messages.

(only available in English!)

1 - Go to your Risk of Rain Returns file directory.

If you don't know how to get there, please refer to step 1 of part 1.

2 - Go to the Language Folder and copy or move the "englishltg" folder into it.

3 - In Risk of Rain Returns, click the icon at the top right of the screen to select the "English - LTG" language.

You have now successfully installed the text entries for the LTG Mod!

You do not need to move any more files.

"Backup" and "Assets" are extra stuff for those who need help or want the raw files.

[Incompatibilities, Troubleshooting, and FAQ]

Something gone awry? Have questions that need answering?

"The game crashes upon starting!"

This is probably an issue with the data.win file. Make sure it is in the appropriate folder with the appropriate name.

Also, you might want to check that the game is in the right version. (Patch 1.0.5)

"I got this error message: [unable to convert string "-" to number] when I try to switch language!"

This is because this combination of characters: " - " (space, hyphen, space) cannot be read properly by the game.

One of your folders (likely a language folder) has this in its name. Rename it so that it is no longer there.

"Can I use other mods with this?"

Kind of yes, mostly no.

You can only use one data.win file and one language file at a time.

This means that you cannot use two data.win files at once, and the LTG mod will be the only active mod that

alters sprites and sounds. The same goes for language mods.

You CAN however have a data.win file paired with a different language file, if you have a different modded language

that you want to run alongside the data.win file, or vice-versa.

Music mods (replacing the.ogg files) should be perfectly fine with this mod.

(Hopefully, we can get better modding support in the future, but until then...)

"Can I play this in multiplayer?"

As far as I'm aware, data.win only changes the assets and is completely client-side....so yes!

"Can I use or showcase this mod in a video?"

Sure, why not. I would appreciate if you credited me (CapuccinoMachine), but I care more about you putting a link

in a description so others can find my mod! Nothing's required, tho. This mod isn't that serious.

If you do use my mod in a video, send me a link! I

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. 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.
  3. For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
  4. 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. If the mod depends on a loader such as ReturnOfModding, install it first as the readme describes.
