DSR Stat Randomizer

Description

This is a modding tool written by me in C#. Utilises SoulsFormats library by JKAnderson.

It randomizes stats of starting classes, gear and enemies to deliver a fresh, unpredictable challenge for every playthrough.

By dynamically modifying param files and automatically modifying text entries into your in-game inventory, it gives

visibility over your randomized arsenal without breaking immersion. Currently the mod operates only with english in-game text.

Installation instructions

1. Unpack the zip.

2. Run DSR Stat Randomizer.exe.

3. Paste your Game directory path as text into the console and press enter. e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\DARK SOULS REMASTERED

4. Answer a short query about additional features (Struggler's Plagues).

5. Wait for the programme to process and write Game Data (up to few seconds)

The programme will print 'press any button to exit' when finished.

Main features

Weapon Stat & Effect Overhaul:

Re-allocates base damage budgets across Physical, Magic, Fire, and Lightning damage types, while scrambling stat requirements, scalings, guard defense rates and weight. Weapons can roll dynamic infusion paths, passive buffs, on-hit status effects (such as Bleed or HP regen), and special auxiliary damage modifiers against Demons, Skeletons, Wraiths or Godkin.

Starting Classes Stat Randomization:

Re-allocates stats of starting classes, in mind with making their primary weapon usable from the get-go.

Ring effect Shuffling:

Clears vanilla ring effects and re-assigns them randomly, keeping each effect unique, with updated item descriptions.

Armor Defenses & Passives:

Redistributes physical and elemental defense values along with status resistances (Poison, Toxic, Bleed, Curse) across all armor pieces.

Armor sets can also inherit special passive traits, and their weight is also modified.

Enemy & Boss stat randomization:

Randomizes HP pools slightly and re-allocates defenses and resistances for all standard enemies and major bosses.

In-Game Text Integration: Uses dynamic FMG text editing (item.msgbnd.dcx) to write full descriptions of special effects directly into weapon and ring descriptions.

Backup Management: Built-in safety checks create .bak backups of GameParam.parambnd.dcx and item.msgbnd.dcx before patching, allowing easy manual restoration to original vanilla stats.
