About this project

This project was completely vibecoded with Claude Opus 4.6 and Claude Opus 4.7. Every line of source code in this repository was written by an AI assistant working under human direction. Reverse engineering, design decisions, bug investigation, fixes, and the actual code generation were all handled by the model. The human contributor reviewed diffs, tested each change in-game, and steered scope.

Singleplayer only

This menu is built for singleplayer use only. It has not been tested in multiplayer, will not be tested in multiplayer in the future, and is not endorsed for multiplayer use.

Mod compatibility

Works with vanilla Serious Sam 2 and with the following community mods:

Mod	Supported
Renovation	✅
InSamnity! 2	✅

The menu detects which game DLL the engine loads at startup and switches per-mod offsets, feature gates, and labels accordingly. The window title also updates to show which game is being played.

Future plans

The intent is to port this menu to other Serious Sam titles:

Title	Status
Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter	In Progress
Serious Sam HD: The Second Encounter	Planned
Serious Sam 3: BFE	Planned
Serious Sam 4	Planned

For Players: Installation and Use

This section assumes no programming or modding background. If you can find your game folder and copy two files into it, you can install this mod.

What you need

• A copy of Serious Sam 2 on Windows. The Steam version is the one this is tested against.
• Windows 10 or Windows 11.

Installation

1. Download the latest release zip from the Releases page on this repository.
2. Open the zip. Inside you will find four files: d3d9.dll, SS2ModMenu.dll, Phosphor.ttf, and Poppins-Regular.ttf.
3. Find your Serious Sam 2 game folder. If you got the game on Steam:
   • Open Steam.
   • Right-click Serious Sam 2 in your library.
   • Choose Manage, then Browse local files. The folder will open.
4. Inside the game folder, open the Bin folder.
5. Copy all four files into the Bin folder. If a d3d9.dll is already there from another mod or tool, you will need to choose which one to keep.
6. Done. Launch the game normally.

There is no separate injector or loader to run. The files do everything automatically when the game starts.

Using the menu

• Press Insert while in-game to open or close the mod menu. If your keyboard does not have an Insert key, you can rebind the menu hotkey by editing SS2ModMenu.ini ([Hotkeys] section, MenuToggle= followed by the Windows virtual-key code).
• Hover over any option to see a tooltip describing what it does.
• Right-click any slider to type an exact value instead of dragging.

Uninstalling

Delete d3d9.dll, SS2ModMenu.dll, Phosphor.ttf, and Poppins-Regular.ttf from the game's Bin folder. If you also want to clear your saved settings, delete SS2ModMenu.ini from the same folder.

Troubleshooting

• The menu does not appear when I press Insert. Make sure all four files ended up in the same Bin folder as Sam2.exe. If you previously rebound the menu hotkey, the new key is in SS2ModMenu.ini ([Hotkeys] section, MenuToggle= value); delete the file to reset everything to defaults.
• The game crashes on launch after installing. Remove d3d9.dll from the Bin folder and try again. If the game then launches, the proxy is conflicting with another tool you have installed there.
• Crash dumps. If the mod itself crashes, it will write a dump file named SS2ModMenu_crash_<date>.dmp next to the DLL. You can include that file in any bug report.

For Developers: Building from Source

This section assumes some familiarity with CMake, Visual Studio, and Git, but not advanced reverse engineering or game-modding experience.

What you need

• Windows 10 or Windows 11.
• Visual Studio 2022 or Visual Studio 2026 with the Desktop development with C++ workload.
• CMake 3.20 or newer.
• Git. CMake's FetchContent uses it at configure time to download Dear ImGui, so a working git on PATH is required.
• The Windows 10 or 11 SDK. This is installed automatically by the Visual Studio C++ workload.
• An internet connection on first configure (for the ImGui fetch).

You do not need the legacy DirectX SDK to build. The Windows SDK has everything required.

Build steps

From a developer command prompt:

git clone https://github.com/Nokama0/Serious-Sam-2-Mod-Menu.git
cd Serious-Sam-2-Mod-Menu
cmake -S . -B build -A Win32
cmake --build build --config Release

The build outputs are placed in a Bin/ directory one level up from the repository root. With the standard layout this lands them next to Sam2.exe automatically. If you cloned somewhere other than the game folder, copy the resulting files into the game's Bin/ directory by hand:

• SS2ModMenu.dll is the mod.
• SS2ModMenu.pdb is the symbol file. Keep it next to the DLL so crash dumps written by the mod's built-in handler can resolve symbols.
• d3d9.dll is the proxy that auto-loads the mod when the game starts.
• Phosphor.ttf and Poppins-Regular.ttf are the fonts the menu uses, copied from fonts/ at build time.

Important build notes

• 32-bit only. The build must be -A Win32. Serious Sam 2 is a 32-bit game and the mod has to match. The CMake script enforces this and stops with a clear error if you try to build 64-bit.
• Dear ImGui is fetched at configure time from https://github.com/ocornut/imgui and pinned to v1.92.7. To try a different release, pass -DIMGUI_TAG=vX.Y.Z when running CMake configure. After fetching, the script automatically applies patches/imgui-rounded-title-and-selectable.patch so the title-bar buttons and dropdown highlights match the menu's rounded style. The patch step is idempotent.
• Compiler warnings are at /W4. A few /W4 warning categories that fire on legitimate ImGui patterns are suppressed in CMakeLists.txt. Real warnings should be fixed, not silenced.
• PDB. The Release build emits a full PDB (/Zi plus /DEBUG /OPT:REF /OPT:ICF). Keep the PDB next to the DLL so user-submitted minidumps resolve to file/line.
• Ninja generator. Supported, but the Windows SDK include path needs an extra hop the script handles automatically when it detects the Ninja generator. Visual Studio generator is the simplest path.

Repository layout

• src/ is all C++ source.
• cmake/ holds CMake helper scripts.
• patches/ holds patches applied to fetched dependencies.
• fonts/ holds the menu font files; CMake copies them to the output directory at build time.
• tools/ holds Python scripts used during reverse engineering and content extraction (mostly the .wld parser and the secret-position table generator). These are not used by the build or by the running mod and are kept here as developer reference for anyone wanting to extend the data-extraction pipeline.
