Dark Souls Remastered & Modding

[nulle]

Hi!

Due to some outcry with regards to the remaster I felt now would be a good time to talk about some of the exciting developments in the modding scene. Specifically what is now possible and what has been achieved.

What's possible:

It's now possible to edit and add our own custom animations as well as edit properties of the animation. That could be anything from adding camera shake to adding knock down on an attack.

We can add new items. That means the creation of new weapons & spells. Previously it was only possible to add new items by replacing existing ones.

We can edit maps. However we cannot add new areas.

It is technically possible to import armor sets but no development has been made in that area as far as I know.

What's been achieved:

Breaking the phantom limit. It is possible to have any number of invaders/summons. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tE2pIGLMnuc 6 phantoms plus host in this video. It was limited to 8 but can be expanded.

Invade/summon anywhere:

Ash Lake - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4UKJ_IOLF4

Undead Aslyum - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1q5JyppBec

Undead Aslyum co-op speed runs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igpA46e9Y5Q

Summoning/Invading people with their boss dead now works.

On the networking front, block slots and ping display were added to DSCM.

A rally system inspired by Bloodborne:

Expanded save slots

Anyway, the hope is we can port these things to the remaster. So keep an eye out! ;)

If you are interested in getting involved in modding, let me know here or via pm.

If things like this get ported to the remaster, that would be great. A map editor tutorial would also be great. I would love to remake Dark Souls, lmao.

That's pretty awesome! Is this for the remaster?

[Dan000000]

Its really amazing how far dark souls modding has come. Lets just hope that it wont be too difficult to port mods to the remastered.

[nulle]

Yeah we will be looking towards porting it to the remaster.

Will these potential mods be potentially available on Steam workshop?

[Moondawg]

Diablo 2 mod with top-down camera.

[nulle]

Steam workshop? Um, I doubt it. I have no idea how that works tbh. More than likely end up on Nexus.

[James the Blue]

I don't care about any of the big, or crazy mods...I just want my Mountain Dew Estus Flask.

where can i find the mod to play coop in great hollow + ash lake
there is no video description

Edit: Is it possible without cheat engine?
Couse the breaking phantom limit mod need a cheat engine

[nulle]

Yeah it's possible without cheat engine. It's part of the PvP overhaul mod which is work in development.

wow that's awesome. I just hope people will be able to mod the remastered without risking a ban/softban
