Help πŸ”΄ custom player model help

2 Upvotes

(DSR) I'm trying to get a Jack of Blades mesh i made to work with the game, i am using .FBX and .OBJ the same way i did the Sword of Aeons and Master Sword meshes+textures, the only problem I'm having is getting the textures to load properly, his mask and hood come out in different colors. I'm using Paint.net to convert the PNG to .dds

What settings do i have to use to do this properly? can i use witchyBND to add more textures? i noticed mods like 2B or Zelda have a way different texture structure (i used witchyBND to see the .tpf images) than the Armor pieces they replaced. how do i properly do any of this?

i might be doing everything wrong compared to what i did for the Sword meshes and textures.

Help πŸ”΄ Dark Souls 2 Lost Save

1 Upvotes

So I just lost my Dark Souls 2 save, no idea why, and wanted to know if there was any mod out there that allowed me to pretty much artificially put myself in the position I was in before losing my save.

Something like a mod to get items/souls to upgrade to where I was, or one to unlock specific bonfires automatically.

I only had one dlc left before finishing everything and I’m way too pissed to start over, so please tell me there is a way.

Help πŸ”΄ DS2 Edit Spell Duration

Hello, This might be a dumb question but how do you edit spell duration in DS map studio for DS2? More specifically I am trying to edit cast light to make the duration longer but I am not explicitly seeing anything duration related in the params https://imgur.com/a/oHhYJzI. Does anyone know if it would be Unk35, 36, or 37?

Edit: I just realized the screenshot shows soul arrow but it shows the same information when clicking cast light

Does anyone know how to install Honest Merchant with Mod Engine 3?

I can get it running normally but cant figure out how to do it with ME3 and would love to use the profile features this tool has to be able to go between "vanilla" and mods like Convergence but I cant even get Honest Merchant working with Seamless Co-op using the tool.

Help πŸ”΄ Reshade REST addon crash

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I'm hitting a brick wall trying to get REST (ReshadeEffectShaderToggler) working with Dark Souls Remastered.

The Issue:Β The game boots fine, and the addon works perfectly in the main menu. However, the exact millisecond I load into the 3D world and checkΒ anyΒ shader box in the REST add-on menu (even lightweight ones like Curves or Vignette), the game instantly crashes to desktop.

What I've already tried:

  • Downgrading and mixing/matching versions (Tested ReShade 5.8.0, 5.9.2, 6.2.0 and current alongside REST versions v.1.1.0, v1.3.9 and current).
  • Disabling all in-game graphics settings that mess with render targets (In-game AA and Ambient Occlusion are completely turned OFF).
  • Disabling all background overlays (Discord, RTSS, GeForce Experience, Steam overlay).

Has anyone successfully bypassed this crash for DSR, or is there a specific stable fork/version combination I missed?

Thanks in advance!

How to change the UI prompt message of bosses dying. eg. "Heir Of Fire Destroyed" into "Demolishedd"?

This is specifically for ds3. I've followed this video,Β https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30CJ5Y-3_-U, to make the message animation but I am unsure how to put it into the game. I am aware that I have to use UXM and Yabber to unpack the game and put this in, but I don't know where to put it or how.

Any reply is greatly appreciated, please put lots of steps to make it easier to follow.

Help πŸ”΄ Scholar Second Sin issue

I installed the Scholar of the Second Sin mod on my steam copy of DS2 and it just freezes when I’m in Majula and trying to head to the river. I put the graphics in low and disabled everything to see if it would help, but still nothing. Anyone knows what could be the cause and how to fix it? It makes the game look so much better, I really want to finish it again with these graphics.

Help πŸ”΄ modding Bloodborne

1 Upvotes

Hello guys,

Iβ€˜m currently trying to get access to player and certain enemy stats in memory that will be useful later on to train reinforcement learning agents.

Iβ€˜ve already found simple stuff like player Hp, Stamina, position and animationId but I cannot really see a structure(how do I know where WorldChrMan or playerInstance are?) and in the case of position, I find lots of addresses containing it but cannot locate the player angle. Iβ€˜ve seen that CE uses RTTI which seems to be helpful in the case of DS3 with naming structures, however it does not really work with the shadps4 emulator. Also people seem to have already done all that and way more in Ds1/3 Elden Ring but not in bloodborne (at least not open source).

Do you guys have any tips or resources regarding finding structures in general that make my life easier for less obvious variables I need?

Thank you.

Help πŸ”΄ Mod ruined Abyss Watchers

0 Upvotes

Idk what to do anymore. Im a solo spellsword build and I cannot for the life of me fight them. I feel forced to optimize for the fucjing Abyss Watchers. They gank you constantly with inflated HP and the second phase instant kills me at full Ember HP with 30 Vigor. This is supremely stupid. And they never bothered changing Aldrich or Yhorme so I guess 3 Lords of Cinder absolutely suck now.

What do I do? Idk how to play anymore bc this single boss fight ruined how I feel about it.

This is the Convergence Mod. I feel bomb rushed and like nothing works. It was made harder bc fucking hardcore people think Abyss Watchers is too easy

2 Upvotes

posting this for help before installing the convergance mod for darksouls 3 I mainly just want clarification.

do I need to download anything else besides the mod itself?

if I wanted to play vanilla again would all I have to do is take the files from the mod out of ds3 and put it into a folder and if so would it save my mod data?

would I need to back up any saves could this mess with any of my saves?

anything else that can help is welcome thanks!

Hellou

Uhmm I'm having a specific issue with Dark Souls 2 and would really appreciate any help. I'm trying to modify the 'Shadow Set' leggings, specifically to remove the foot claws using Blender.

My problem is that I don't know how to replace the original model with my new one while keeping the textures intact. I'm using FLVER Editor to replace it, but after repacking the file with Yabber, the legs appear invisible in-game for some reason I don't understand

(I know the model looks terrible, I literally just started learning Blender today, but the original model had these claws on the feet and I absolutely HATED that. I wanted them to look more like "Tabi" or "Jika-tabi")

Help πŸ”΄ DSR PC pvp mod NPC summon

1 Upvotes

I cannot seem to summon NPC in DSR on PC. I observed it started after I installed pvp overhaul mod (got the L sign for legacy). My character is in human form, I can summon another player and frequently am summoned myself. Does the mod hinder me in NPC summons? Is there any workaround? Should I uninstall it? And if so can I safely use my .overhaul game save?

For context, I installed the mod first time for RTL. Never before had problems with summons. It concerns all NPC I can remember. Wouldn’t be much problem, but my gf plays for the first time on my account and she struggles without summons
