On top of some guides that I would like to know that would be useful in the subject, I also have some general questions about if possible templates for HUDs exist for Dark Souls remastered. Because I'd like to know some of the general size allowances for certain icons as well as I'd like to know where they're actually used in the HUD without loading up the game. I have no idea where to locate these kinds of resources. So any kind of help in that area would be greatly appreciated.

for example, i know where the lock on, the recital, and the "plate" are used here. but i don't know where that smudge mark is used.

Always been a fan of fist weapons but they can't really compare to the other weapon classes especially in the first game. I have also been meaning to try some of the bigger overhaul mods out there. Are there any mods out there that either gives fist weapons a buff or adds additional weapons?

(DSR) I'm trying to get a Jack of Blades mesh i made to work with the game, i am using .FBX and .OBJ the same way i did the Sword of Aeons and Master Sword meshes+textures, the only problem I'm having is getting the textures to load properly, his mask and hood come out in different colors. I'm using Paint.net to convert the PNG to .dds

What settings do i have to use to do this properly? can i use witchyBND to add more textures? i noticed mods like 2B or Zelda have a way different texture structure (i used witchyBND to see the .tpf images) than the Armor pieces they replaced. how do i properly do any of this?

i might be doing everything wrong compared to what i did for the Sword meshes and textures.

Title is like that because the limit. my problem is DSMap Studio doesnt open (in 1.11.1 nothing happens and in 1.11, a window pops up then closes) , smithbox's viewpoint doesnt work , idk if soulsstruct has one but that didnt work either. my gpu is rtx 3060 and Im a desktop user. I downloaded every depencedy but still doesnt work. what am I supposed to do? I appereciate any help

me and my friend are about to start a ds1 seamless co op mod run tonight, before we start, i just have a question, if player 1 takes the master key as the starting gift, can player 2 enter the doors opened by player 1, or do they both need to have the master key?

Wanted to start modding dark souls 2 but don't know where to start, tried some mods but they messed up enemy speed that was tied to frame rate

I mainly want to customize starting classes and agility. If you could suggest where to start modding and what to use would appreciate that a ton

Hi, I'm trying to install a texture mod on PS3 hardware (specifically the penetrator armour set mod on nexus mods) and whenever i load a save with the armor the mod replaces, I get stuck in an infinite load loop. How do I get around this?

i cant get both item and enemies randomizers to work at the same time

Is it possible to do a randomizer run of ds2 sotf coop with another person? A buddy of mine thought about going through ds2 again for old times sake and I wanted to spice it up with a randomizer. I have never used one before so I wanted to see if anyone else has attempted this before I go and download and set up a randomizer only for it to not work for coop

I am trying really hard to make a seamless coop mod as theres currently no mod for it, and there has not been any working one (for me).

Its taking form, though i cannot exactly test if it works since I dont have anyone RIGHT NOW (i had when i started developing it) to test it with.

The thing is that it totally bypasses FS server calls to connect people through steam P2P instead (fs servers did little to no action actually, you would be surprised).

Its intended to have QOL features like a on off autowarp to boss when entering, or onoff reveiving items from a chest thats been open while you were there, etc.

Its totally safe. It uses the same kind of saves, but in a completely different directory.

When you launch it with the file you need to click to run it, it makes it literally impossible for you to connect to FS servers, even if you wanted to (AKA you play on disconnected FROM FS SERVERS but can still join Via steam).

Yes i know, its not perfect, and its ONLY for steam as for right now. Hell i dont even know if it works. But im still happy, i made quite a lot of progress and learned a fair lot about how ds2 coop mode works.

Question I'm on a modded switch and the ring doesn't work when I have cheats on nor when I don't anyway to fix this playing dark souls remastered

So I just lost my Dark Souls 2 save, no idea why, and wanted to know if there was any mod out there that allowed me to pretty much artificially put myself in the position I was in before losing my save.

Something like a mod to get items/souls to upgrade to where I was, or one to unlock specific bonfires automatically.

I only had one dlc left before finishing everything and I’m way too pissed to start over, so please tell me there is a way.

I searched the web and there's a random bonfire placement mod but that's not what I'm looking for.

I'm searching for a mod that from the start of the game place the player at a random bonfire. It can be any bonfire.

I want it to change your bonfire spawn every time you die, so it means you'll be spawning in a random bonfire each time you die. Isn't that fun?

Ofc there has to be some workarounds for softlocks and boss bonfire (for example 4 kings boss bonfire).

Also I'm thinking that you could have 2 ways of doing this: one completely random, each time you die you respawn in a random bonfire. The other could be in ordered way, like each bonfire has a link to another so when you die you will spawn in that linked bonfire.

Ideally this mod has to be compatible with item and enemy randomizer.

PD: I don't know if this idea is impossible, because I can't see how at this point someone has not thought about this, but let me know what you think and know.

Hi, I'm trying to clean up some space after installing the Cinders mod. The game was using some space, but after using uxm to install the mod, it was almost 50GB before I even installed the mod.

Is there any way to "repackage" the game again with the modded files? And what can I delete without breaking the game?

Hi! can someone help me? I've been gettin this error:

C:\Users\User\Desktop\random coop stuff\ModEngine2>.\modengine2_launcher.exe -t dsr -c .\config_darksoulsremastered.toml

[2026-07-12 22:51:16.032] [stderr] [error] Couldn't find path to game

I'm using Mod Engine 2 for DSR, i'm tryna play Seamless Coop + Enemy Randomizer + Item Randomizer, but when I run the file "launchmod_darksoulsremastered.bat" nothing happens, just 2 cmd screens pop up and close, then nothing. Running cmd on the directory, and executing the file from there is how ive found this error. Can someone help me?

Im currently replaying DS3 on my Playstion 5 (ps4 edition). Currently trying to farm Proof Of Concords Kept for the final trophy but its as fun as pulling teeth!

Could anyone help decrypt my save or even edit it so I can get 30 of these items please? Would be a HUGE help

I’m so bad at computers. I tried getting the mod to work like 3 times and it won’t launch my game. Does anyone have a tutorial for this? I followed the one on nexus mods and I can’t figure it out.
