Best mods for H&D2

[Kenta Ohlkenta]

Hello!

There are several mods (or rather texturepacks etc) for this game, but there are hardly any discription of them. I am looking for HQ realistic texture to bring the game some realism and better quality. Any suggestions?

---

Note:

Edit the reg file with notepad and input at the line "key"="0000-0000-0000-0000" enter your new key in this part!!!
Or use the cd changer and then input the new key..

Then next steps are - No cd key game issues.

I may have a Possible fix, just not kown for really that i am 100% certian of this.

Inside Reg file you will see the 3 lines below in that regfile.

"idir"="
"PathEXE"="
"Datadisk PathEXE"="

Change your game folder at the 3 lines. // were is f: = drive // To: C: D: E: or were else the game is located at.
So change the folder drive path and keep with in the brackets [\\]

This is were my game is at below.

Steam.

"idir"="f:\\SteamLibrary\\steamapps\\common\\Hidden and Dangerous 2\\"
"PathEXE"="f:\\SteamLibrary\\steamapps\\common\\Hidden and Dangerous 2\\HD2.exe"
"Datadisk PathEXE"="f:\\SteamLibrary\\steamapps\\common\\Hidden and Dangerous 2\\HD2_SabreSquadron.exe"

You can also use the old paths x64.

"idir"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Illusion Softworks\\Hidden & Dangerous 2\\"
"PathEXE"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Illusion Softworks\\Hidden & Dangerous 2\\HD2.exe"
"Datadisk PathEXE"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Illusion Softworks\\Hidden & Dangerous 2\\HD2_SabreSquadron.exe"

You can also use the old paths x32.

"idir"="C:\\Program Files\\Illusion Softworks\\Hidden & Dangerous 2\\"
"PathEXE"="C:\\Program Files\\Illusion Softworks\\Hidden & Dangerous 2\\HD2.exe"
"Datadisk PathEXE"="C:\\Program Files\\Illusion Softworks\\Hidden & Dangerous 2\\HD2_SabreSquadron.exe"

So copy and paste, if you wish so, the above info's into the correctly reg file 32bit / x64bit and then re-save regfile.

Double click the reg file and upload it to the registy. all done..

Hum, maybe the game is fuzzy with nocdkey when not have location for the dir of the game path, the path of HD2.exe & the path of HD2_SabreSquadron.exe

Note:

Each time you start HD2 on steam, key gets reset on a default value.
So after you launched the game you have to change back to your retail key (if you have one).

enjoy : )

Hey this is great, however all the rifles are black seems like a texture error and firing of some the muzzle effect is a blackbox. Any ideas?

[ProSabre]

Go into Maps folder in game dir...


delete the below...

00.TGA
00a.TGA
2e_fir.tga

if you want weapons as normal ones...


In the explorer search box..

Type in.. w_

w_ stands for weapons...

del all pictures with w_

Easy as....

[Jeza]

Yeah copy that found it out in the end, cheers.
