BW2 Modding Tools

The official modding tools for Black & White 2
LionheadUnstuffer:
Unstuffs the everything.stuff file. Some of the unstuffed files may be needed by the other tools.

Landscape Editor:
Pretty self explanatory. You will need to unstuffy things first. This tool also includes the special effects editor.

Script Compiler:
Write your own scripts. These scripts are use to make challenges, create cut scense and run the enemy AI.

Script Language Documentation:
All the functions. There’s lot's here, so expect to be overwhelmed (and there may be a few errors).

Note 1: You do need to have both patches installed to use the tools

Note 2: The tools will install into a folder called "Tools" in the Black & White 2 game directory. First you need to run the unsuffer by double clicking on the unstufer.bat file in the Unstuffer folder. This will upack the everything.stuff files. Which will take a while. If you do not have the game installed in the default location then you need to open the unstuffer.bat file with Notepad and edit the path to the game. You will need to do the same with the LAndscapeEditor.ini file in the Landscape Editor folder. Support can be found in the Modding forums on the Lionhead Studios forums.

A good place to start is the BW2 modding Wiki. There's a number of tutorials which should help in getting you started.

On the LHS boards there's this thread which has most of the discussion about scripting. Also for scripts, we do have a Script library which contains a number of scripts you can use.

If you have any other questions on usage, please register in our forums and ask there. smile

Yes, you'll need to reinstall any skins you had since those files get over written.

When i want to unstuff the Everything.stuff file then my PC always tries to open it with the Editor.

Does everyone knows how i can unstuff this file?

To run the unstuffer, double click on the LH Unstuffer Batch.bat file in the LionheadUnstuffer folder.

The ReadMe file says i have to unstuff the Everything.stuff file first before something works..

When i try to Unstuff the LH Unstuffer Batch.bat the small black window appears for 1 sec.
If i go on with the introductions in the ReadMe file, the modding tool is still not working.

It could be that B&W is not in the directory the batch file is expecting, in which case, do thusly:

  • Right click the batch file and choose 'send to' >> compressed(zipped) folder. This is as an easy backup in case you need to get the original back
  • Right click the batch file again, and this time choose 'edit'
  • You should now see a notepad window that reads something like:
    QuoteLionheadUnstuffer -d -path "C:\[snip]\Black and White 2\\" "C:\[snip]\Black and White 2\Data\Everything.stuff"
    without the 'snips' of course  tongue You need to change the bits inside the quotation marks (leave the quotation marks intact) so that they point to where those files are on your computer. Easiest way is to locate them in explorer and click the navigation bar which should highlight the path for you, and paste that into where the [snip]s are in the example above

Incidentally you will also need to do this for the configuration setting file in the same folder as the landscape editor  smile
