NG2ArchiveTool.exein the same directory as all the game files you just prepared. - Drag-n-drop a
.ng2file onto theNG2ArchiveTool.exeto extract its contents. You can now edit these files, but do not rename the files or the folders. - When you are done modding, drag-n-drop the whole folder of the archive (for
s_chap_01.ng2that will bes_chap_01, make sure the name didn't change!) onto the executable again. You will receive a new file with the ending-out.ng2and another filepack_img-out.bin, remove the "-out" in both of these file names. If the files are still in the game directory your mod is now active! - To disable a mod again, simply replace the modded
