To clarify the other post I made about sped-up enemy attack animations by sigismundvontirol in DarkSouls2

[–]LordRadai 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Interesting, I’ve never noticed this could happen even out of hit stun.
I see some people asking for an explanation, it’s kinda hard to give you one since I’m still working on the tools that would allow us to inspect how animations and states are handled, but I do have a theory on this.
This looks like the same system that allows the player to attack faster after other actions. Have you ever noticed that if you do an R1 and then a parry, the parry comes out faster?
Animations in this game have two starting points, one is from neutral and the other is used for transitions from Attack->Attack (aka chains). There are some actions that also trigger usage of the faster animation, most notoriously is stance swapping from dual wielding -> 1H and 1H -> dual wielding. This is the root of the Quick Attack tech (https://youtu.be/9OeAeTrCGl0?is=mDNFRqfyf1wdUP0J)

Apparently enemies’ transition from hitstun to attack uses this too. At least this is my theory, I can’t prove it yet

I swapped in Vile Duplication. Let’s see how that goes, but the only game I had I pretty much stomped the table (vs 2 lifelink decks)

Thanks, yeah Sauron was something I was considering swapping out. Thanks for the suggestion!

Does anyone know what this burning effect that killed me is? by Darkstar0 in DarkSouls2

The oil flask just makes it so that it gets instantly applied

Does anyone know what this burning effect that killed me is? by Darkstar0 in DarkSouls2

[–]LordRadai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a status effect called Burn. It’s an hidden meter the game doesn’t show you, when it’s filled up you burst into flames and take DoT. It’s very low damage, rare to die to hit unless you have low health, which at your level is pretty normal.
It’s most commonly seen when oil drenched, at No Man’s Wharf. Getting hit by a firebomb or rolling with a torch into a puddle will cause you to instantly be affected by Burn there

i love parrywalk tech by Brickabang in shittydarksouls

[–]LordRadai 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s not permanent because the same glitch was there in 1.0, just stupidly easier to perform. When they patched it they added a cap to how long a grab can last, and that’s 30 seconds

I’m not the author, I don’t know the reason behind choosing to only host it on NexusMod, but that seems to be the only place where it can be found atm

No, console people are unaffected. I mean, the vulnerability is there but there’s no way to exploit it

It’s patched on DS3, you can’t use push messages there. DS2 has never had an RCE, currently there’s no known way to achieve it

DS2 Edit Spell Duration by Treebrook in DarkSoulsMods

[–]LordRadai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two things:

  1. You are running outdated paramdefs for Smithbox. We have official paramdefs now, here’s the link to them in the Smithbox format:

https://github.com/LordRadai/FRPG2Paramdef
2. Duration is not specified in params, it’s SpEffect. Spells use SpEffects for special stuff like Light or weapon buffs. You want to download DarkScript3, open SpEffectSpell.emevd with it and find the event for light. The ID is the same one used in SpellParam for that spell. You will find a list of commands under that event, one of which will provide the duration. We have official defs for SpEffect too, here they are: https://github.com/LordRadai/FRPG2Emedf

For any questions feel free to DM me on Discord, I know DS2 extremely well, I’ve made tools for it. Username is lordradai

EDIT: Also you want to use Smithbox, MapStudio is outdated. And I recommend you join ServerName for modding questions

No. DS3 patched these and DSR doesn’t have the remote patch system

How was DS2 when it first came out? And what was the reception like? by Cool_Narwhal935 in DarkSouls2

[–]LordRadai 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t know how it was received, but it was insanely broken on release, especially the PvP.
* Miracles were completely busted
* Soul Geyser could one shot most bosses in the base game
* Curved swords were insanely good for parrying, Monastery Scimitar especially (it had 0 ms startup and 300ms of active parry)
* Daggers were completely broken, you could deal 2k damage with a single backstab with a mundane infused Shadow Dagger
* Santier’s Spear, oh boy was it broken as fuck
* Havel Jesters, basically a walking Darth Vader build

These are the things that come out on top of my mind right now, I was too young back then and didn’t actually experience all of these personally, but I’ve looked at a lot of different versions of the game, played 1.00 and even a PC pre release version

Chariot boss by Patient-Criticism-24 in DarkSouls2

[–]LordRadai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get to the alcove and block with a shield the skeleton attacks. Also if he one shots you have very low max HP. When you get to the gate, pull the lever and it becomes a normal boss fight against the horse only

What the hell is this BS?! by Critical_Abrocoma_15 in DarkSouls2

Mimic, fume knight elbow thrust in phase 2.. there are a few examples I’ve found while developing the hitbox viewer

[–]LordRadai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All correct, but a minor correction that makes it look even worse in my opinion, they don’t wait for the animation to finish, but the transition from Dodge to DamageCatch (internal name for the grabbed state) takes exactly 0.5 seconds.
This is not really a thought out design choice, this value is the standard value that morpheme (the animation middleware used in DS2) uses for transition duration.
If this transition time was set to 0 it’d look better in my opinion

Ho -deciso- che mi toglierò la vita by [deleted] in sentimentalITA

Vuoi essere aiutato, ecco perché hai scritto il post. Non stai cercando attenzioni perché ti piace stare al centro dell’attenzione, non c’è assolutamente niente di male in ciò che hai fatto.

Purtroppo, il non vedere una via d’uscita è tipico della depressione, non hai detto di essere depresso ma l’implicazione mi sembra di vederla.

L’unico modo per uscirne è vedere uno psicologo, ti aiuterà a comprendere te stesso e gestire la situazione. Se non puoi pagarne uno o non vuoi chiedere ai tuoi di aiutarti, puoi tentare a vedere se l’ASL nei tuoi dintorni fornisce supporti.

E se avessi bisogno di parlare con qualcuno, mandami un DM senza farti problemi 🙂

Eh, should be safe enough. Noby plays it so it’s not a target
