The Last Spell ModKit

(TLS.ModKit)

Download: Nexus · BepInEx 5 (x64): Release

Summary

TLS.ModKit lets you easily create data-only mods using XML files that the game picks up automatically from your BepInEx/plugins/<YourMod>/ModKit/ folder.

No programming required. For specific cases where mods may break/impact in game functionality you may need to create a custom BepInEx mod to make it compatible (see Omen of Specialists example below).

Current support:

• GlyphDefinition (Omens)
  • add / replace / remove glyphs (omens)
• PerkDefinition
  • add / replace / remove perks
  • edit perk TokenVariables (token-only edits)
• SkillDefinition
  • add / replace / remove skills
  • edit simple fields via <Set select="..." value="..."/> (best-effort)
• ItemDefinition
  • add / replace / remove items
  • edit not implemented (use replace)
• CityStash (runtime, NewGame only)
  • add items to the city stash via ModKit/CityStash/*.patch.xml
• Localization
  • auto-merge ModKit/languages.csv from all plugin folders after the game loads dictionaries
• Icons
  • drop PNGs under ModKit/Icons/*.png to override glyph and item sprites (UI + hand sprites)

Installation

1) Install BepInEx 5 (x64)

• Download BepInEx_win_x64_5.4.23.3.zip
• Extract it into your game folder e.g. → C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\The Last Spell\

Tip: run the game once so BepInEx creates its subfolders.

2) Install TLS.ModKit

• Download TLS.ModKit
• Extract into: ...\The Last Spell\BepInEx\plugins\
• Result: ...\The Last Spell\BepInEx\plugins\TLS.ModKit

Recommended: Mod Configuration Manager (MCM)

Install (optional but recommended)

• Download MCM: Nexus · GitHub
• Drop the folder into: ...\The Last Spell\BepInEx\plugins\
• Launch the game; MCM shows your mods under Mods window in game

MCM isn’t required for ModKit, but it makes verifying loaded mods easier

Example Mods

• Omen of Specialists — adds a new Omen that grants the Specialist perk to all heroes.
  Nexus · GitHub

• Lightning Blade — a “full stack” example: custom item + skills + icons, optional MCM setting, and (runtime) adds the item to city stash on new runs.
  GitHub

• Remove Elf Debuff — edits the IntoTheWild perk to remove the damage debuff (StatMalus = 0).
  Nexus · GitHub

• Remove Into the Wilds — removes the IntoTheWild perk.
  Nexus · GitHub

Each example shows how patches are organized under BepInEx/plugins/<YourMod>/ModKit/ (e.g., Perks/…, Glyphs/…) and how to ship optional icons via ModKit/Icons/.

Quick Start

The fastest way to learn is to copy an existing mod and tweak it.

• Read the quickstart guide
• Browse the example mods above and reuse their folder structure:
  • ModKit/Perks/*.patch.xml — add/remove/edit perk tokens
  • ModKit/Glyphs/*.patch.xml — add/replace glyphs, optional <IconOverride Path="…"/>
  • ModKit/Skills/*.patch.xml — add/remove/replace/edit skills
  • ModKit/Items/*.patch.xml — add/remove/replace items
  • ModKit/Icons/*.png — optional custom omen icons (auto-loaded)

Tips & Tools

• UABEA — extract Unity TextAsset contents to inspect the game’s XML (essential for finding the exact IDs/keys to patch).
• dnSpy / ILSpy — inspect TheLastStand.dll to see how databases load and which definitions/fields exist (useful if you plan a small BepInEx helper for advanced cases).
• Logging Console: Enable the console; Edit BepInEx config in ...\The Last Spell\BepInEx\config\BepInEx.cfg

[Logging.Console]
Enabled = true

Uninstall

Simply delete the TLS.ModKit folder and any other Mods depending on it inside of .../BepInEx/plugins/
