📋 About This Mod

There are 4 color options, optional particle and/or orb removal and humming sound effect removal or any combination of the three for the Starlight spell. You can optionally replace lantern with Starlight as well. Works perfectly fine with Ray-Tracing. The files for every color option include subfolders that you should choose whether you want to remove particles/orb/humming sound effect.

Installation:

1- Install Mod Engine 2.

2- Install the mod version with your desired color variant.

3- Choose your desired version of the mod by navigating through the folders.

4- Drop the sfx folder into the "mod" folder in Mod Engine. (If you'd like to replace lantern with Starlight as well, you should download "Lantern replaced with Starlight.zip" and drop the "regulation.bin" file into the "mod" folder in Mod Engine as well.)

4- Run launchmod_eldenring.bat

Merging sfx:

1- Install Yabber or WitchyBND.

2- Unpack the mod (sfxbnd_commoneffects.ffxbnd.dcx file) you want the merge this mod with, by dragging the file onto WitchyBND.exe or Yabber.exe (if you are using Yabber, you'll need to copy the "oo2core_6_win64.dll" file found within Elden Ring's directory and paste it to the directory "Yabber.exe" is in.)

3- In the unpacked folder, you will find a folder called "effect" which has .fxr files in it. Drag one of the "f000523502.fxr" files provided in "Mergesfx.zip" into here and replace.

4- Drag the "sfxbnd_commoneffects.ffxbnd.dcx" FOLDER onto WitchyBND.exe or Yabber.exe to repack. (if you are using WitchyBND, you might have to change the compression method in the .xml file within the unpacked folder, just follow the instructions on the terminal that pops up during repacking)

5- Drop your new "sfxbnd_commoneffects.ffxbnd.dcx" file into ... ModEngine\mod\sfx

I might make a tutorial on how to merge regulation files (params) if you request. There's tutorials for that out there, but not many for the newest version of Smithbox.

I might make a non flickering light version or a larger/smaller radius alternative versions. If you want any other colors or if you encounter any issues or have any suggestions/requests, do let me know.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • If you're using a mod manager, drop the file in and activate—no extra steps needed
