Mods
- See the beginners setup guide for instructions on how to configure the game for mod support.[Note 2]
- Setting up mods requires extracting the game's .DAT files, which noticeably increases file size.
Enable DLC characters
- The Heroes Pack and Villains Pack DLCs were never released for the PC version, but the files for them still exist, allowing them to be enabled by a simple text edit.
- Included in the Expanded Character Grid mod, below. The following steps are not necessary if using that mod.
Modify files
|
- On a mod-ready installation, ensure
<path-to-game>\CHARS\CHARSTXT.FPK is not present, or has a different extension (ex: CHARSTXT.FPK.bak ).
- Open
<path-to-game>\CHARS\COLLECTION.TXT in a text editor, such as Notepad.
- Copy the following to a new line at the bottom of the file:
////////////////
// DLC HEROES //
////////////////
collect "Robin_Damian" no_progress
collect "Nightwing" no_progress
collect "Shazam" no_progress
collect "Katana" no_progress
collect "Zatanna" no_progress
//////////////////
// DLC VILLAINS //
//////////////////
collect "Bizarro" no_progress
collect "BlackAdam" no_progress
collect "CaptainCold" no_progress
collect "GorillaGrodd" no_progress
collect "BlackManta" no_progress
- Save and close the file. The characters should now appear at the bottom of the Free Play character grid.
Note
- The contents of the
<path-to-game>\__DLC1__\ and <path-to-game>\__DLC2__\ folders are unused earlier versions of the character files and can be safely deleted.

Notes
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 Notes regarding Steam Play (Linux) data:
- ↑ Some PAK, PAC, and FPK files may not extract with the extraction of the four .DAT files; the contents of these can be extracted to the same directory as where they were stored[citation needed], using the same QuickBMS script as was used for the .DAT files.
- ↑ The levels Tower Defiance and Heroes Unite remain unchanged.
