Wasteland 2 - Modding Support Added

by Silver, 2016-01-11 23:01:00

Hello all,

The update has been re-released to correct a freeze issue that could occur when transitioning between scenes while certain specific NPCs were present in that scene (such as Rose).

The new version of the update also brings a small mod-related fix that allows modders to correctly override GUIDs (global unique identifiers) for spawners, which lets modders replace specific spawners even if they share the same names (i.e. "nuke_pooch").

We'll be keeping an eye out on any other reports of issues. Thank you!

Update: Due to an unrelated bug in this update which affected some older savegames (causing them to freeze on loading screens), we are rolling back this update until the problem can be resolved, at which point we will re-release it. Thank you for your patience!

On Steam there has been an announcement made regarding modding for Wasteland 2.

Wasteland 2: Director's Cut Modding Support Update
Today, we have a new update for Wasteland 2: Director's Cut on PC. This brings the first release of our long-awaited modding support to the game. This mod support allows for users, among other things, to change and override template and prefab files used in the game.
