exWoS

Description

exWoS is a extension that lets you override WoS game files with your own edited files.

It also includes fixes for some effects that were broken or missing in the PC version (currently for v1. 1 only)

How do I know what version of WoS I have?

To be certain, you can check the SHA-256 of the exe. Here are some known ones:

v1. 0 -> F03D4E2D52DAADCEA6ADCD3CAF5112274947320C2D962C04C5CE37746A42A8DB

v1. 1 -> E75431538A22D4611C0E9712D263D98BEC03858B370BA1EA9119B149E3C60790

v1. 1_with_4G -> 9BF10864350EE12251E24F32298ACAE415C3B5D933A5666A193F097E559EC6FADepending on where you sourced the game, you might have a different hash on your exe, but these work for sure.

Installation

1. Extract the downloaded zip beside the exe in the main game directory to get it working. For example, unzip it to

C:\Program Files (x86)\Activision\Spider-Man - Web of Shadows\image\pc

2. Edit the exWoS/exWoS.config.ini file with a text editor to enable/disable mod directories.

There is one example mod included to show how it works: MyFirstMod. This makes you a cube.

When you want to disable this and check out other mods, edit the config.ini and disable MyFirstMod by setting  MyFirstMod=0. removing the entry entirely, or deleting the MyFirstMod directory.

If you don't want to manage mods manually, you can find a mod manager on NexusMods. You can also find custom skins, models and whatever else people have created.

To migrate from mods.config.ini -> exWoS.config.ini, you can just copy the section into exWoS.config.ini .

Overriding will work on v1. 0 and v1. 1 of WoS.

Fixed effects will work on v1. 1 only.

May not work on patched versions such as the stutter fix version.
