Risk of Rain Returns: How to Customize Your Language Files

Posted on December 28, 2023

A detailed guide on the language files for Risk Of Rain Returns, their syntax, and how to create your own.

 

Preface

This guide intends to outline pretty much everything that can be edited by the language file, and to be used as a resource.

however, i will be assuming you know the basics of file management and have some form of image editor, as if you don’t, please just use google and get those.

File Structure

There are 3 components to the language file, the icon, name, and the language file itself. These are separated into icon.png, name.txt, and lang.json respectively.

icon.png is a VERY small flag by default, but it can be changed to whatever you want. However, make sure to size the image down, unless you want this to happen:


note: I am using my own language file[drive.google.com] i use for personal use. Yes this is a plug.

name.txt is quite simple: the name of your language file in game. The folder your language file is contained it does quite literally nothing for you in game, so i’d suggest naming it whatever you please.

and finally: lang.json. if you dont know what a .json file is, it is basically a fancy text file, and you can open it with notepad (which i do, sue me.)

lang.json

lang.json is a BIG file, so for this section i will be listing the exact lines in which 95% of your edits will take place:
