📋 About This Mod

Author's note: This mod is originally by NamelessHoodie, and was originally made available here. Credit to them for the original mod, this is merely an update.

This mod does (almost) nothing on its own, but is a dependency for many other mods. As such, this update should allow those mods to be played without downpatching the game!

Features

  • []Unlocks the vanilla HKObject limit (8192), allowing more behaviors to be added. This is a modder's resource, and does nothing for end users.

    []Unlocks the disabled DebugAnimSpeed event in TAE. This event exists in vanilla, but is disabled. The mod simply enables it.

    []Adds options to customize the game's difficulty. See the original mod page for more details.

Changes from HoodiePatcher v1. 1. 0. 0

  • []Updated for Dark Souls III v1. 15. 2.

    []HoodiePatcher.ini is loaded relative to HoodiePatcher.dll, rather than DarkSoulsIII.exe (thanks stephen-ritter!).

Installation

  • []Download Mod Engine 2 from GitHub, and extract it. The location is not important, but preferably somewhere on the same drive that Dark Souls III is installed on, or even inside the Dark Souls III folder.

    []Download this mod, and unpack it. Once again, location is not important, but preferably near where Mod Engine 2 is installed, or even inside its folder structure.

    []Add the relative path to HoodiePatcher.dll to the external_dlls section in config_darksouls3.toml. For example, if you've extracted HoodiePatcher into a folder named HoodiePatcher, you would edit the line to the following:

    external_dlls = ["HoodiePatcher/HoodiePatcher.dll"]

    If you have other mods to add, you can separate their DLLs with a comma.

    []If you are attempting to add other mods, add them to the mods section of config_darksouls3.toml, and extract their files into a subfolder of ModEngine2.

    []After you have finished setup, launch your game using launchmod_darksouls3.bat.

If you're using Windows, you're all done! If you're on Linux, there is additional setup required.

Modding Dark Souls III takes a couple of extra steps on Linux, since the Windows registry is not available to easily find the game path, and .bat files won't run natively.

[]Add launchmod_darksouls3.bat as a non-Steam game, by using the Games -> Add a Non-Steam Game to my library menu in Steam.

Note: you will have to "Browse" to the file, as well as disabling the default filter option in your file browser.

[]Edit launchmod_darksouls3.bat to add the --game-path command line argument, followed by either the relative or absolute path to DarkSoulsIII.exe.

[]Edit config_darksouls3.toml to disable Scylla Hide, as it will crash under Proton.
