Version 1.0.1
Fixed the Crown of the Ivory King, Sanctum Knight Leggings, and Charred Loyce Shield still having visual effects.
Removes visual effects on the player when certain things are equipped, such as the green aura for the Chloranthy Ring. The is done by modifying the scripts for the items rather than removing textures, so there aren't any issues with unintended things becoming invisible.
Note: This mod is only compatible with the Scholar of the First Sin edition of the game.
1) Download and install the Load Loose Param Files mod. 2) Download this mod, extract the downloaded .zip archive, and open the folder of the extracted archive. 4) Move the enc_regulation.bnd.dcx file to your game's installation directory (where DarkSoulsII.exe is), overwriting the original file.
You may want to make a backup of the enc_regulation.bnd.dcx file and Param folder first, in case you want to uninstall the mod later.
Warning: Using any mods while online will likely trigger the game's anti-cheat system. I highly recommend preventing the game from connecting to the online servers while playing with any mods installed.
