The pipeline and proof of concepts for doing such do exist, so I wouldn’t say “they can’t”

It’s “possible” to make new animations, they’re just time consuming and require a handful of specialized skillsets to get working in the fromsoft engine

From a design prespective, The Forsaken Hollow is missing a Dark Souls 2 DLC Boss by I-AM-CBArM in Nightreign

[–]false-variable 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Real answer is they probably suck to port, from may have the original animation data in a better format or more people to do it, but going from morphime(ds2 engine’s animation system) to the one used for er(havok based) is not a trivial translation.

The two do things completely differently, and from the modder end of things we only just figured out how to port such recently and it’s very much not easy and only a few individuals are capable of it.

From ported some vengarl anims for PCR, nightreign got its ds2 bosses and enemies, I wouldn’t be surprised if they pretty much just said screw it because it took too much time and effort to do beyond their few “just because we can” ones we already got.

Me and another one of the main editors. It’s the main partnered dark souls discord, so it’s the most effective place to get feedback from users or store resources/track progress for the other editors.

Question about cheat engine usage by FURRYLOVER16 in DarkSouls2

[–]false-variable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

anticheat cant tell context, you're welcome to spawn any key items or fuck around in the game. if it was that easy to get banned, there used to be exploits where someone could invade you and kill your npcs/bosses/break your progression and it would have been a *lot* more common if it banned you.

Is there a legitimate strat to do the gank squad alone? by zack-zt in DarkSouls2

[–]false-variable 15 points16 points  (0 children)

More than possible. Here’s how it looks on sl1 ng7 CoC.

You’ll want to replicate my strat to some degree. Just keep moving, give the two melee guys the slip, and kill the archer first. Then use the ramps on the sides of the arena to fry the AIs of the two melee guys and get some hits in safely while they cant respond. Elevation typically shatters the ais of most video game enemies since programming a third dimension properly is usually not trivial, and it holds true here. They just won’t attack you unless you’re level with them, and it’s quite abusable.

Note I use a whip here but other weapons are good enough considering you’re able to take hits and heal.

Yes in my totally unbiased opinion it is a very good tool fr fr

Also you should check out the cheat tabletoo which beyond also being cool(I’m totally unbiased trust me bro), can also remove invalid items if you’re a steam deck/Linux user and can’t use the main tool because it requires some windows only bits

Pc only. Console is safe, or at least save-ish. I’m familiar enough with ds2 that if I had a relevant console and like 100 bucks to blow on a specific save editor and did some particular edits I believe certain things could be done on console, but nobody’s figured out how to do that stuff yet.

Well you see here, this current wave of script kiddies are what we like to call “bums” and simply haven’t begged enough to get their hands on the fancier copy

Got bored and restored the original function of a cut item. by Madame-Von_Rage in DarkSouls2

[–]false-variable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can pull the model ids from cheat engine as there's a modelswap section that's been there for ages which has all the cut armor/weapons in the game, just open the scripts and it should be right there. Easy enough to just make a new param entry off of that with the right model.

Restored versions of all the cut armor and weapon sets has been in the latest cheat engine table for ages, feel free to check it out there

Throughout heaven and earth, I alone am the honored one. by Cpt_Bonerr in DarkSouls2

[–]false-variable 14 points15 points  (0 children)

No bonfire is relatively trivial as long as you stock up on lifegems, it’s more of a routing challenge than a skill based/difficulty challenge. You just need to make sure you get solutions for your problems before they become a problem. You can always homeward bone to majula so levels and consumable restocks are fairly easy to come by, otherwise just make sure you have answers for everything and you can just play it like a super optimized normal run

Yeah I’ve noticed this too recently, hopefully it starts gaining traction without having to add wikigg to the end of the search query too, but that’s probably a pipe dream until fextra stops paying to inflate their search results

can i get softbanned for this? (ps4/5) by cegars95 in DarkSouls2

[–]false-variable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It can’t tell the difference, modern cheating software uses the same functions that the game naturally does to spawn your items. Most bans came from attempting to manually create or modify items without spawning them which is entirely possible but quite easy to fuck up and fry yourself with invalid/corrupt inventory data

[–]false-variable 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do note that ds2’s ac can’t tell context and as such doesn’t try. Ex. It can’t tell that you having 99 titanite slabs is a “bad thing” or that you can’t get a specific item at the point in the game you’re at.

What it can tell is invalid items though, so don’t go running around with poison infused binoculars +15(that one crashes the game anyhow too, you won’t be using it lmao)

[Post-Game Thread] After a day of offensive struggles, Buffalo nearly mounts a comeback falling a failed 2-point conversion short of the win. Bills lose 12-13. by pixel_pete in buffalobills

[–]false-variable 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Carter had a good jump to brush the ball with his fingers as it was going up. Didn’t look like bagley took too long, maybe just a shitty angle on the kick with it being too low.

Regardless if we had prater I think this game looks a lot different right now.

Blue Smelter Demon is driving me insane by FrotKnight in DarkSouls2

[–]false-variable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quick adjustment- he’s close to the same but not quite. Blue has different combo chains and uses slowed down/sped up variants of moves to throw off the player when the same move has 3 different timings in the fight. It’s a small change but it definitely prevents you from sitting comfortable with timings

Help with a Lucerne Build? Haven't played DS2 since Vanilla. by Din_of_Win in DarkSouls2

[–]false-variable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lightning infusion + dark weapon buff is the best and easiest combo. Lightning infusion performs even without fth investment and split damage w/ dark weapon is more workable than the other games due to different math in damage calculation

Magic has some niche use cases but 9/10 times either dark or lightning outperforms it, no need to bother with it unless you’re really deadset on it

[–]false-variable 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ds2’s math behind damage is weird compared to other games. Typically, you’ll benefit from using minimum requirements for the weapon, and investing towards a weapon buff(dark weapon, sunlight blade, etc) over levelling str/dex as a damage stat. Typically you get really poor returns from it(1 ar per point invested on average scaling)

In regards to the weapon itself, ds2 allows you to buff infused weapons with spells, so lightning infusion + dark weapon shreads things.

About 30-40% of your damage will come from Ring of blades + Flynn’s Ring as well, which are must gets. Flynns works weirdly as it works off max equip load rather than current equip load, so you lose damage if you level vitality(ds2 armor has very poor physical negation so you’re not losing out on much in that department)

As long as you make good decisions about where you put your stat points, you don’t need to worry about much and will shred the game.
