Bumping - is it possible to get an update for the current version? I'd really like to play online but I'd rather not do it without either Watchdog or Watchpup. It'd be appreciated :D I'd also pay a few bucks for an update
I found link to this mod on PC Gaming Wiki. But I guess it wont work anymore, because they updated game since that RCE exploit. I played Scholar and D3, but my friend bought 2 copies of DSR for us to play together, and this rendition of DS is super annoying. I guess if i keep disconnect adapter or alt+f4 game, I will get soft ban, so I thought to write some code to backup saves. Because it's BS, we two bums, and we constantly invaded by people with spells and gears like they from NG+, who just oneshot you, and teleports behind back via lags to backstub you. I freaking completed DS3 with platinum, I even was able to build something from my character to fend off invaders somehow. But Remaster is unforgiving, game don't care I just want play with friend. It wont allow teleport between bonfires, it wont allow you to light up bonfire if you have friend as phantom, you should walk from place to place to waste your time. I know DS suppose to be hardcore, but this part of game is annoying AF.
People who just tweaked they stats vie cheat engine, or just exploit broken Miyazaki gameplay just grief you. And game do not provide ANY means to at least limit them somehow, except being hollow.
I'm just going to write code that check HASH of saves every few seconds and make it's backup, and f*k those a-holes. I'm pretty sure those toilet papers that sold by Cromwell look-a-like, to punish invaders doesn't even do anything, and nobody even play Darkmoon covenant here. This came up as fkng rant. Really, I saw some videos, streamers speedruners playing DSR, I never thought that actual game is so annoying in comparison with Scholar and DS3...
Thank you so much, i was really looking for a mod to do that since on DS2 sotfs i discovered the Blue Acolyte mod, it's not as good as Blue Acolyte and Wex Dust since you can't invade everywhere in the world but it's still very useful to have th e hud telling you when someone is invading (or you're invading) with his name (we sadly can't see the SL of the people we're invading / invading us) and one really cool feature is the auto save backup, it works fantastically well and it's simple to use. I hope the mod author is doing fine since we had no news of him for years now but if you want to try this mod the ngo ahead, it still works perfectly and is very useful !
EDIT : i have no idea why people talk about a trojan but for me it's all doing fine, ofc i'll edit this if i ever were to have any proble mwith it
Your post just made my day. I'm so glad this thing is still working and is still getting some use. I guess I'm not surprised From hasn't updated DSR enough to break it yet.
Hey so this is one of those mods I use and recommend 24/7 for this game, but it currently has a Trojan and I'm afraid to use/recommend it can someone look into this?
I've tried contacting the author on various places to no avail, no idea what's got him tied up
In any case, about the watchpup itself, there's a chance it's a false flag, the watchpup hasn't been updated in months with no automatic update routine inside it to my knowledge, it's still the same program it was, and only started getting flagged after an update to my antivirus my friend's antivirus doesn't tag it and he still uses it when playing ds1 but I can only tell you to use your own discretion until jonathan finally says something and gets in contact with the databases flagging it
Reddit is awful for notifications apparently lol. But hey, life has been crazy with work, life, and the world at large, so I haven't really been modding again until now.
But in regards to the trojan false flag. I'm not sure what's triggering the virus thing now, but I can say there is no virus. It does hook into DSR's process' memory (and only DSR) to read session info and stuff to make the app work. I can see why that might be considered sketchy by an antivirus. Sadly, since it's been so long, I don't know if I'm up to messing with it anymore than I already have -- I'm honestly surprised it's still kicking after this time. It was hastily thrown together in the early days of DSR when old script kiddies jumped into lobbies immediately.
I promise you there is no virus, and I write that cheekily knowing that that's exactly something a virus maker WOULD say. I know I obfuscated it because I thought I could get in some legal trouble for basically writing a mini cheat engine, but if you're savvy, decompiling would show that it's not doing anything crazy, and iirc, it's mostly ran in the lua bytecode.
It doesn't even write memory to the game because I didn't know what anticheat the game had in the beginning and didn't want to get people banned.
Hey, I've been trying the mod out for a while now and something just hit me. Is the "connected" sound effect the same as the "anomaly detected" sound effect?

Can you change it to a more noticable sound?
thank you very much it is useful when it works !!
