Would I get banned for modding the game to do this?

[Dr. Professor Commander]

Basically I want to change the coloring of the icon for either Golden Vow or Wrath of gold because I often scroll to the wrong one by mistake since they look a little similar, and secondly I want to force the game to default my selected item back to my healing flask after a certain amount of seconds.

Tempted to buy the game on a throwaway account to do it there and see honestly, but if something like that wouldn't get me banned I wouldn't waste money.

EDIT: If I got banned on a throwaway account with less than two hours in the game could I also refund it?

Urgh.......the what?. Just stop....dont mod anything.
If they can ban you so hard your PC screen will explode just for looting "underwear" imagine what they will do to you for changing a color.

You won't get banned for anything playing offline. It doesn't seem like there's any official guidance for modding online but it seems to present a risk of being banned.

[brimstone]

anything that alters files will get you banned unless you play offline and with eac disabled

[Dr. Professor Commander]

Well that's why I want to see on a throwaway account, then refund since it would have less than two hours. If they wanna ban me for ease of access stuff that doesn't really give me an advantage, I should be able to get a refund right? A Fromsoft ban doesn't automatically make Steam support decline your refund as long as it's still under the 2 hour limit. Kind of a shady way to test things, but hey if I get banned for trying it, they can't keep my extra money :)

why would you do all that for some crappy useless icon

Because the different coloring would prevent me from accidentally being animation locked into Golden Vow, which is longer than Wrath of Gold's. Meaning their somewhat crappy visuals they designed cause my death sometimes. I'll use my laptop from a friend's house so they won't be able to ban any IP from my address if that's how they do it.

Yes, you would get banned.

I can't help you with the color stuff.

But what do you think about holding down-arrow on your controller to default back to your red healing flask?

[brimstone]

it's an account ban, not ip

but you run the risk of it not detecting on the alt account which will make you think it's safe and then you could get hit with a ban on main account

this is a stupid idea

I think you could solve this with rearranging your spells and not having them next to each other.

You can do this by holding down the Consumables scroll button (on controller it would be D-PAD Down). It will cycle straight to your first slot consumable, which can be set to your healing flask.

To me it seems like all of this is way too risky and unnecessary for what amounts to practising item switching.

If you actually know how to mod something like this, you would know that you would get banned form online play since Dark Souls for something like this.

Feel free to mod, but play offline.

I mean people have been getting banned for modding/hacking in Fia’s panties.

Can you explain how they would make this connection if I make an entirely brand new Steam account instead of family sharing, and while connected to someone else's internet? Besides, like I stated Fromsoft does not control Steam's 2-hour refund time limit, or have much power to affect it.

[brimstone]

i didn't say anything making a connection

reread the post

How would I risk them making any type of connection between the two accounts? It would be safe, one account is on a laptop, while my main account which would be safe, is on my Alienware desktop. I don't see any risk there. The modding is done in a controlled environment, that's why I suggested a throwaway account on a laptop.

[brimstone]

oh christ do i have to spell it out for you

you make new account, buy game, install game, install mod, play game, everything is fine cause it didn't detect it and you think it's safe to use

you install the mod on main account, play game, it detects it this time and you get banned

if you want to use mods, disable eac and play offline and never go online

there's nothing else to it
