Divinty: Original Sin 2 Modding Guide - Achievements Enabler

hey guys and gals this is Cal from dirty weasel welcome to the first and series of modding tutorial videos for divinity original sin - it seems oddly appropriate that the first video in the series would cover a topic that many many people face when playing with mods enabled like other games if you play with Maas in divinity original sin - you don't get achievements through Steam and you can just see how sparse my own in-game achievements are because I didn't have the mod we are about to talk about that would be the simply named mod achievements bike acent this is a dll replacement and an abler mod that will bypass the restrictions coded into the game files let's go take a look alright here we are at the Nexus mods page for achievements and you can see it is mod number two one zero it is done by the mod author casts nth and Casson is very well known for doing dll mods or Skyrim and fallout 4 so you know he's he knows what he's doing don't worry about that and he's got a good plan in place for this and what this mod does when you roll down it will dribble achievements while using Maas because we just talked about that right yeah anyways gives you requirements that you may need to know about this stuff you can read that installation extract archive to the folder where Yossi app dot exec is located overwrite and renamed b2w 64 dll if exist for more details view the pictures you can see the picture is going to show you on video so uninstallation you can delete the pink 2w 64 dll and native mods folder and rename pink 2w 64 underscore original dll to just 2w 64 dot DLL okay and that's all you really need to know we're gonna go show you where to do this but you need to go ahead and download that mod so here we go just go ahead and download that manually and it has a most recent version as of October 31st that would be yesterday for me and download that manually you're gonna place that on your desktop and here it is look at that and inside of this mod if you're not used to using mods and this your first attempt this is WinRAR but you can use 7-zip whatever you have to locked any archives and you can see we have the pink 2w 64 dot dl l that is the replacement dll that will be replacing the original whip and then we have the backup which is 2w 64 underscore original DLL and then you have native mods and inside native mods you have achievements not deal out this is actually the little script runner the DLL mod that Ashley needs to run but the other ones are installation ones so if you have other mods that other authors come along and say I want to include a DLL program they can just put it into native mods so pretty good now what you're going to need to do you don't normally install this like other normal mods you don't put it in your Documents Larian malas thing you're actually going to go into the main directory and I have a folder over here you can also see I have my divinity original sin 2 shortcut here on the desk and it is for administrator I do everything by administrator for mods but I'm going to open up my main divinity original sin 2 folder and that is located on my G Drive under steam steamapps common divinity original sin 2 and an in bin you can see we have the EOC app dot exec and this is the one you're going to look for if you don't have file name extensions enabled you won't see the dot exec but Julie knows that the icons are all the same so you have the sport tool and all this other stuff in here now what I like to do is because we don't have a mod manager for division the original sin - I like taking the mod itself and dropping it in and the reason why I do that is so that you can see the version numbers so on the mod page I actually am tracking the mod so if there are other changes I can remember that I need to go back and replace the old mod which is the old version number with the new ones so that's why I use the tracking it's very helpful when using this game so we have that now what we you need to do is right-click on it and we're going to extract here and it'll say steam steamapps common divinity original sin - - w 64 dll it already exists that's because the original game had it do you want to replace it with the new one yes and there we go now you can see the the dates that have all changed that from the original installation was back in October 10th and this is now the big 2 w 64 DLL was created by a sent on October 21st you know that is the new one and this is the backup ok that's all you need to know now under native mods you can see we have the achievements DLL it is fully installed there's nothing else you need to do just go ahead and run the game and you're going to create a log I'm gonna go ahead and do that I'm going to come back so here we are the main screen we're gonna go ahead and this all we need to do we just go ahead and quit out of this game are you sure yeah ok the last thing I want to show you is going to be under your Documents tab and you need to go back into your documents on your wherever you keep it and you're going to look for Larian studios divinity original sin 2 and you see it now has a new folder in here called data of mod logs and inside of that you have achievements dot log this was not there before you have to actually run the game to generate it and when you check out the achievements log you'll can see all the different mods that are have been patched successfully by cassings dll and this log will tell you exactly what's been patched successfully and everything looks good here this is as it should be so if you have any question about it working that's one way to check it out the other one is going game and probably the easiest way is to make a scroll or to make grenade and then see if the achievement pops up for you easy peasy right last thing we're going to cover is the installation on this if you ever need to go back in and remove it for whatever reason you would go ahead and remove native mods and you're going to remove the 2w 64 DLL and delete both of those and then you come back to your 2w 64 underscore original DLL and you're going to rename it and you just go ahead and eliminate the underscore original and it is right back to where it needs to be and this is the most today version of this so Caston assures me that it all works fine so there you go and that's how it works that's all I got for you now guys I hope you enjoy playing divinity original sin 2 with mods I certainly am now you could all have her achievements to go with it my name is Kal I'm from dirty weasel and I'm signing off
