There is a visible lack of enemies on the map.
However, the proof of concept showed the current limitations of what modding could do. This is the first time a map from a completely foreign environment was put into the game. Prior to this proof of concept, modders were able to import Demon Souls maps to Dark Souls. In Dark Souls' eight years of existence, various mods have been developed for different purposes like graphics correction, HUD UI improvements, texture patches, among others.ĭark Souls' modding community is currently focused on making the custom map work. Modding is a collaborative hobby, and communities develop around games with specific goals and visions. In layman's terms, Meowmaritus created tools that allowed custom models to be imported into the game, while Horkrux made the physics of those models to work. The custom map was made through years of the team effort, with modders Meowmaritus and Horkrux on the front lines. Even the engine for Dark Souls and its Remastered version are different. "Souls games use Havok for physics and collision detection," says Katalash, "and added their own customizations on top of the format."įromSoftware also used a different version of the engine between games. The main roadblock, according to Katalash, is the development tools FromSoftware use for their games.
User u/Katalash explained the mod's limitations concisely on a reddit thread. The mod was made possible in a very roundabout way, and it will take a long time before every guy could introduce their own maps on their own copies of Dark Souls. The beauty of this mod is its overall simplicity as it doesn’t require any tinkering with the game’s files in order for it to work – in fact, all you need to do is boot up the mod and run it in the background as you’re playing.However, 'possible' doesn't mean practical. If Isshin, the Sword Saint is proving troublesome or you want to simply rush through the game to see all the endings, then the mod’s global speed modifier will allow you to slow the game down (while you move normally) to breeze your way through the depths of Ashina without breaking so much as a sweat. With this installed you can "prevent dragonrot from increasing, disable death penalties like losing Sen or experience, increase spirit emblem capacity" and, the big one "global game speed and player speed modifier". While this handy talks about the ability to unlock the game’s 60 fps cap, add custom resolutions (21:9 support), change the FOV, use borderless window mode, display hidden death/kill counters, and more, the real draw is its difficulty modifers.
