DSMfix: Unofficial update for Dark Souls v1.0.2.0
As many of you know, DSMfix broke with the recent (Sep 17th, 2013) update. Since the creator hasn't released a new version of DSMfix in many months, I decided to try to patch the existing version to work with the new update. I was successful!

Download the patched version of DSMfix v0.9 (dsmfix09-DS1.0.2.0.zip): http://sdrv.ms/128mNwY
Please note that this only works with DATA.EXE v1.0.2.0 - it will not work with the previous v1.0.1.0!
foxUnit01 and I tested this for an hour or two yesterday and we didn't find any issues that weren't also in the unpatched version of DSMfix. Enjoy!

Technical information:
DSMfix uses three hard-coded memory addresses referencing DATA.EXE to determine when menus and other things are being displayed. These memory addresses changed when Dark Souls was updated. I determined the new memory addresses and patched the dsmfix.dll binary appropriately.
If you don't trust my patched binary and you're handy with a hex editor, you can perform the patch yourself. Here's a table detailing the necessary changes:
--------------------------------------------- | dsmfix.dll offset | v1.0.1.0 | v1.0.2.0 | --------------------------------------------- | 0x11A08 | 0x13DED20 | 0x13DAD00 | | 0x11A0C | 0x13E5EA1 | 0x13E1EA9 | | 0x11A10 | 0x13E3DE8 | 0x13DFDEC | ---------------------------------------------

I will be sending Lebbers an email shortly - hopefully he'll release an official version soon.

Stat drain and the warps and possibly some other ♥♥♥♥ will not happen again. They should've removed the code, and you can't bring that back.
I sure hope you're right! There are some clever ppl in this world that do good and bad things :( Even in the game world we can't have peace hahahaha

Nice! I figured that offsets were the culprit, but didn't have any tools do look it up. Great job!

It not only works again but somehow even works better ^^

What would I ever do without you, M0tah?

Much better. The newest update was a real pain.

This patch doesn't seem to work for me. I downloaded the new DsFix. I can use my mouse to look around and buttons 1-3, but not my 4th and 5th button. Also my cursor stays on the screen in the game when it used to disappear pre-patch. Is anybody else having this problem?

It doesn't seem to work for me either. I have mouse functionality back, but auto targeting is also spazing out when ever I face more than one enemy.
