Wolcen Mod Editor is a desktop application for creating mods for the video game Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem. It gives players a visual way to change the game's skills and its Gate of Fates passive skill tree, then export those changes as a ready to install mod, so nobody has to hand edit the game's raw XML files. Wolcen's development has ended and its servers are offline, but the studio allowed modding for offline play without ever releasing proper tools. Before this project, the community only had an outdated tool that could unpack game data one way and nothing else. This editor lets modders decode the game's encrypted data, edit it, and pack it back into an install ready mod, so a modding scene can grow around the now frozen game. The app currently supports editing every player skill and its variants, including toggling individual effects on or off. It also renders the full Gate of Fates passive wheel from real game data, with zoom, pan, search by node name or by what a modifier does, and click to edit stats on each node. When you are done, it exports a folder you drop into your Wolcen install plus an overlay file and an install guide. To use it as a player, you download the latest build from the project's Releases page on Windows, point the app at your Wolcen install folder, let it decrypt the needed data on first run, make your edits, name your mod, and export it. You need your own legally owned copy of the game, and mods only work offline. Developers who want to run the project from source need Rust with the MSVC toolchain, Visual Studio 2022 build tools, Node.js 18 or newer, and the WebView2 runtime, since the app is built with Tauri and a React interface. The project's roadmap includes making first run fully self contained, adding item and loot editing, more polish for the Gate of Fates wheel, and a mod load order manager. Game data itself is owned by Wolcen Studio and is not included in this repository or its releases, and the project is not affiliated with that studio.
