Equipment Fabricator + More Colors

A simple tool for making equipment with whatever modifiers you want.

Remember to BACK UP your profile.

- Press F10 to open it
- Select the item level (remember that item level sets which equipment tier is available, the stat requirement, and scale of modifiers)
- Select the quality
- Select the number of modifiers (I haven't tried anything more than 10, but I imagine UI issues may start occurring if you add a ton)
- Select the equipment (no hover tooltip for now, so you have to know the equipment by icon)
- Select the modifiers in the two lists
- Remove modifiers by clicking on the entries in the "Current" list
- Select the colors available for the piece of equipment
- Click the "Gimme" button. It will be added to your inventory.
- The extra colors can only be added via the fabricator.

That's all you need to know to start playing around with it.

- 2025-10-29:
- Fix/change that allows you to have proper rare < item level 10
- UI fix that updates the modifier display when changing the number of mods

- 2025-10-28:
- Can now select colors, including the old HoH1 colors
- Can now select multiple of the same modifier
- Now shows a preview of the item as you are making it
- The maximum number of mods you can add is now 255 (I don't know if there's a net limit on these, so I capped it); I doubt anyone really needs even this many
- Changed things to use mostly a language resource; still have to do some parts and make alternate language versions for the couple dozens text entries I had to add

More detail for those that want to know more:

Regarding Modifiers:
They are separated into the first list, those which have in use icons, and the second list which is text descriptions. Both add the to the same total that is compared against the limit you selected.

There are some modifiers that say "Mainhand Only", "Offhand Only", and "Two Handed Only". First off, I don't know and haven't tested if putting a modifier intended for a weapon slot on a piece of armor will have the effect at all. Secondly, I recommend that if you are selecting these modifiers for weapons, shields, tomes, etc, that you choose the appropriate one: If it's a shield, use offhand, if it's a two handed axe, use two handed, etc.

Additionally, I don't know if there are any mods that add modifiers, but they may or may not work. If they have a description field in their entry, they should. If they use an icon, and generate based on the type of modifier and what not, they likely would just show as a blank line in the text modifier list. It should still add it by clicking on that blank line, you just wouldn't know what it is until you generate.

The icons for physical, elemental, and poison all add that damage to your multipliers. The text modifiers that have a flat number with the element damage, like "+[5-10] Ice Damage " modifiers are the ones that add it to the weapon damage. Beyond that, trial and error will teach you more than I can write here. For instance, depending on which modifiers you select first, you can still achieve getting something like crit chance 9.7% by making your first choice a modifier you don't want, generating the weapon, and then enchanting it.



Existing file modified:
- tweak/items/modifiers_equipment_rare.sval

This fixes what I think is a bug in the base game in that there is a duplicate id entry for mod_hit_mana_mainhand, and one of them clearly should be mod_hit_mana_twohanded to match all the others of these sorts of modifiers. If another mod modifies this file to change the default equipment modifiers it would create a conflict. Mods that add new modifiers really shouldn't be touching this file and should be doing it in a new, mod-specific file.

I don't know enough about modding Hammerwatch (I just started) to know definitively if this would impact any existing equipment that is two handed that has mod_hit_mana_mainhand already on it.



Note about the future:
I don't play games much anymore, but sometimes I have a burst in activity, which is what I currently am doing with HoH2. If this mod becomes defunct, anyone can feel free to fix anything needed and re-release (although it most likely would be just updating the file mentioned above unless they really change how equipment works).

I tried to add equipment preview of the colors, but haven't looked too much into it, and the more knowledgeable people on discord seem to think it may not be possible.

Thanks to Thyraxx.void for their useful information on the color preview plausibility and Muffinslop for a number of tips in the comments and for trainer being a template for how to do the interface for this.

Disclaimer: I just started looking at modding HoH2 and never looked at any of the previous games. I've just enjoyed the mods of others. I've only just started deciphering this sometime this month, haven't really communicated with anyone in the know on it, and haven't done extensive testing (this is a game not work for me, so I don't really want to do all that). I don't think there should be any issues, but please BACK UP your profile.



Hope you enjoy
