Dark Souls Remastered Omni-Directional Rolling Mod

Description

Have you ever played any of the newer Souls games and been able to roll in any direction only to return to Dark Souls Remastered and wonder, "What were they thinking? Why can I only roll in four directions?"

Fret not, friends. Now you don't have to.

Omnidirectional Rolling removes Dark Souls Remastered’s four-direction rolling restriction while locked onto an enemy.

In the original game, locking on limits rolls to forward, backward, left, and right. This mod replaces that restriction with accurate analog movement, allowing you to roll freely in any direction around your target.

Diagonal rolls, shallow angles, rear diagonals, and full circular movement respond naturally to the direction of the left analog stick. You can also chain multiple rolls together while changing direction between each roll, including when buffering the next roll before the current animation has finished.

The goal is not to make rolling easier or alter combat balance. The mod preserves the game’s normal stamina costs, roll timing, recovery, input buffering, and number of rolls. It simply gives locked-on movement the same directional freedom already available while playing unlocked.

You no longer need to fight with the camera unlocked just to retain full control of your movement.

Disable online play before using. Online play is disabled by default in the INI included with the mod.

Update v1. 01

• []Added device-agnostic input mappings.[/]

  []Keyboard players can now roll in all eight cardinal and diagonal directions while locked on.[/]

  []Pruned a significant portion of leftover unnecessary code from prior attempts to solve the movement while retaining all functional code[/]

  Version 1. 01 has been tested with keyboard controls and an Xbox One/XInput-compatible controller. Other controller types may also work, but remain untested.

  Planned for the Future:

  I may have to release more updates for this in the future as I make different mods. I may need to update this to be compatible with the others.
