Overview
Disappointed that HITMAN III isn’t here on Steam for a year? Why not spend the time playing HITMAN 2 with mods while you wait?This is a comprehensive list of HITMAN 2 mods.
Mod Installation
First of all, you need to patch the “packagedefinition.txt” file so the game can load up mods.
You can either use Hardware’s Package Definition Patcher[www.nexusmods.com] to automatically patch the file or this online editor[notex.app] to edit the encrypted “packagedefinition” file.
If you’re using the online editor: just click on “Set Patch Levels”, save it as a .txt file then replace the original “packagedefinition.txt” file with the edited one.
The reason why we have to do this is is so we can tell the game to load up more than 4 patches since there’s only 4 vanilla patches for the base game’s chunk (assets) and mods are patches.
You only have to patch that file once unless the game updates itself or it’s been reinstalled.
The “packagedefinition.txt” file should be located in:
SteamsteamappscommonHITMAN2Runtime
Once you got your “packagedefinition.txt” file patched/replaced, mods can be loaded in the game.
The “Runtime” folder will be the location where you place the mods, which is where the game’s assets and patches are and the game’s been programmed to load up assets and patches from that folder.
Most mods are usually named “chunk0patchX” in “.rpkg” format with the “X” being a number.
It could be any number but if there’s already a “chunk0patch4.rpkg”, “chunk0patch5.rpkg” or so on, then be sure to change the number of the latest RPKG file to the next consecutive number.
If done correctly, you could have your game look like this if the mod edits the menu backgrounds:
When you start up the game, make sure you cancel the connection to IOI’s servers.
If you only have texture, model and/or misc mods then you don’t need to use offline mode.
If you have an interest in making your own mods then please come visit the modding thread over at the Hitman Forum: [link]
If you’re hoping to do some advanced mission mods yourself then all I could say is to figure that one yourself. Modders might not want to risk sharing that publicly since you know… online-only content…
Mission Mods (1/2)
Mods that edits or replaces missions. Currently, it’s only possible to replace existing missions so keep an eye on what vanilla mission the mod is replacing.
Not only can you now play these missions when you are unable to connect to IO’s server, but this mod will be required for any future mod which uses Sniper Assassin or Seasonal mission slots, without this mod you’ll be unable to click on those missions!
