Updated 1.17.1 - Duplicate Discard

Description

DuplicateDiscard is a small Elden Ring DLL mod that prevents excess duplicate equipment from cluttering your inventory.

The mod filters duplicates before they are added to your inventory. It does not delete equipment you already own.

Duplicate limits

• []Weapons: up to two copies of each weapon family.[/]

  []Armor: one copy of each piece.[/]

  []Talismans: one copy of each talisman.[/]

  []Spirit Ashes: one copy of each Spirit Ash family.[/]

  []Ammunition, consumables, runes, crafting materials, and other stackable goods are unaffected.[/]

Weapon reinforcement levels and affinities count as the same weapon family. For example, a standard weapon, its upgraded version, and an infused version all count toward the shared two-copy limit.

This allows you to keep two matching weapons for dual-wielding while preventing additional copies from accumulating.

Important

The previous configuration file and toggle hotkey have been removed. This version is always enabled while the DLL is loaded.

Removing the keyboard hook and key-polling functionality also reduces the likelihood of antivirus programs identifying the mod as keylogger-like software.

Installation

• []Install a compatible Elden Ring DLL loader, or configure Mod Engine 2 to load external DLLs.[/]

  []Place

  DuplicateDiscardSafe.dllbeside your Mod Engine 2 configuration and launcher.[/]

  []Add it to the

  external_dllslist in

  config_eldenring.toml[/]

  []Launch Elden Ring through Mod Engine 2.[/]

Example:

external_dlls = [

"DuplicateDiscardSafe.dll",

]Merge this entry into your existing list without removing other DLLs required by your modpack.

To disable the mod, remove or comment out the

DuplicateDiscardSafe.dllentry and restart the game.

A few users have suggested converting excess duplicates into runes instead of blocking them. This may be considered for a future version if there is enough interest. I am working on this currently** in and out of the ER for health issues so be patient.

If you need help integrating DuplicateDiscard with another mod, let me know :]
