📋 About This Mod

Translation (google)

As many DS1 fans know that the DSR version brought with it technical changes that many did not like, because of that I am making many changes to improve the visual aspect of the game

  • []The images that I have uploaded are referential, it is better to try itin the game so that they understand what these changes in the textures are about

    Brightness textures

    This MOD adds Shine to certain textures that were lost in the REMASTERED, especially metalsInstallation:

    DSR Texture Packer & Unpacker tool required

    Unzip the MOD_RT_Complete.zip

    Copy the contents of the Texture Override folder into the Texture Override folder of the DRS TPU tool

    Open the DSR-TPUP.exe program

    1.- In the Game Directoty option select the folder where the game is, forexample E: \ Dark Souls Remastered

    2.- Then they click on the Repack tab and then press the Repack button

    Water, Lava (correct excessive brightness) and Snow effects (optional, just to remove excessive noise from the original game):

    You must download the file water_effect.zip, unzip it and paste the content in the MTD folder where the game is installed, previously make a backup copy

    Improves resolution through FidelityFX technology and removes excess shine a bit

    Unzip the content of the FidelityFX_1. 0.zip file and copy the files that are inside the FidelityFX folder along with the game's DarkSoulsRemastered.exe executable

    If you want to keep the original brightness, simply in the game press the Lock / Scroll key and deactivate the "Level" effect.

    1.- This MOD is not compatible with DSR 2020 Textures, however an adaptation could be made but it requires work

    2.- You might see messages like this when running the DSR tool

    "Warning: chr\c2410\c2410_WP_M_1533_s.dds

    └─ Expected format DXT1, got format BC7_UNORM."

    Keep in mind that it is not an error

    If you want to keep the original brightness, simply in the game press the Lock / Scroll key and deactivate the "Level" effect

    Bonfire Classic MOD

    Installation:

    Download and unzip the zip file

    Copy the .dcx file to the sfx folder of the game (make a backup copy)

    Note: this work is not 100% mine, the Port of the sfx files was made by a modder called Dropoff on the Dark Souls discord server and after talking with him he told me that he had no intention, for now, to individualize them for download , The original port has some bugs and cannot be installed individually, however I received your authorization to be able, based on your work, to be able to port the classic bonfire of the PTDE version by myself, using debug tools and modification of dcx files I was able to finish this MOD which I'm sure some of you will like

    New particle effects - Alpha (Demo)

    I'm tweaking
