It's been a while since I updated this old mod, and I've been busting my ass on some big changes! Last update, my mod just tweaked some params, but it is an official game overhaul with many new movesets and even some source code changes! Here's a small summary of what I did
Weapon Tweaks
Specific Weapons
Dancer's Swords
Weapon Infusions
Armour and Jewelry Enhancements
Magic
Moveset Enhancements
Daggers
Other Changes
Input Improvements (Only works for controllers because FromSoft)
Instructions: After you download, paste the zip steamapps/common/DARK SOULS III/Game, then extract it there.
If you have Dark Souls Mod Manager, boot it up, go to the right drive, and tick the mod!
If not, in modengine.ini, make sure ModOverrideDirectory (near the bottom) points to Vanilla Plus, and useModOverrideDirectory is set to 1.
Have fun, and if you experience any jank or think of something else I can do to my mod, please let me know!
