12 Quickcast hotkeys
Minimum key press length
Queued classic twohanding
Better support for modifier keys (still dont use modifiers with controller if you can)
Version L0.4.2
Rewrote the Quickcast / Quick Items function to be more reliable by making them independent of each other. I had to rename a bunch of variables, so your Quickcast and Quick items hotkeys will not be loaded from your save file properly. As always, I am not making save files backward compatible, as that would be a mess. You have to set them again.
Fixed the Quick Items bug that would send "up" when "use item" key was not defined (Credit goes to dnllln)
Version L0.4.1
You can now choose the "Backstep, Dodge Roll, Dash key" to match ingame settings instead of it being hardcoded to "i" or "p". Dont make me regret this.
You can also choose key modifiers for changing the number of spells/items you have (Example: Hold M and press 1 to tell EMU Light you have attuned only one spell). The default key for items is "i". Get it? Items and Magic.
Separate M&KB keys for switching spells/items. EMU Light uses the keyboard binds for quickcast, quick items and pouch. However many players use wheelup and wheeldown to manually cycle spells and items, which EMU Light still need to track.
Fixed Quickcast / Quick Items not remembering correctly what slots is currently selected.
Version L0.4
REBIND ROLL/SPRINT TO "P" INGAME INSTEAD OF "I".
XInput support for XBox, DS and newer controllers
Implemented separate Quick Items hotkeys
Updated guides to reflect the new GUI
Version L0.3
Review spell selection - Reliable select is faster. Quickcast should be more reliable. Set the HUD to "On" in the Sound and Display ingame settings.
Review performAttack function - Deactivated. No need to set "O" and "P" as dummy keys in the game
Rebind map button - Can be done in Rebinds (selectable from top menu) see guide.
Hotkeys for pouch - To use pouch you need to match the items from "Controls" to you ingame controls. Then in the "Pouch" section you can create pouch hotkeys. The defaults are c,v,b and n. Only 4 hotkeys can be created.
Classic two handing key - Press to left alt to twohand right hand weapon and hold to twohand left hand weapon. To use you need to match the R1,L1 and Event action keys in the "Controls" section to your ingame settings.
Solve mouse wheel key binds - Roll unlocks itself automatically when the roll key is wheelup or wheeldown
Use ER default key binds - EMU Light now uses the default ER Mouse&Keyboard settings as its default profile. I strongly urge you to not actually use the default layout
Version L0.2
Fixed Quickcast.
Version L0.1
Removed code related to kicks (thank god thats over)
Shortened roll press duration 35 -> 22 ms
Larger spell reset hold duration 350 -> 550 ms
New help resources included
Important: You need to download both main files (Executables and latest LX.X version) and extract them to a single folder.
Note: If your game is installed in a system protected folder or is launched as an administrator, you might need to run EMU Light as an administrator, otherwise the game will simply ignore EMU Light's key presses.
EMU Light - Enhanced Moveset Utility
EMU Light for Elden Ring is a direct successor to the EMU Light released for Dark Souls 3. As of 2023/10/27 EMU Light for Elden Ring officially support all Dark Souls games. Use this version to play Dark Souls, Dark Souls: Remastered, Dark Souls 2, Dark Souls 3 and Elden Ring.
Functionality:
Removed innate input delay from Rolls (Using a dedicated roll key makes the roll begin on key press rather than key release).
Pause key (automatically navigate you to a menu section that actually pauses the game. Press again to unpause).
RPG style magic and items keys (Create a dedicated key for each attuned spell and equipped item).
Individual keys for all 6 pouch slots (Vanilla ER only lets you bind key combinations for 4 pouch slots).
Directly open menus with dedicated keys (Toggle on/off or stay in menu for as long as you keep holding its key)
Additional input options for Controllers (Dedicated Switch and/or Event button, that changes the functionality of all other buttons when held).
Roll and R1 cooldown (Adjust action queue behavior by creating a cooldown time when consequent rolls or R1 wont register).
Automatic and manual Save file backup (Save file is backed up on EMUL launch and on press of a backup hotkey).
Installation:
Download the EMULight for Elden Ring_Executables_vX.X.zip and extract to any folder
Downlead the newest version of EMULight for Elden Ring_vX.X.zip and extract it to the same folder
Launch EMULight.exe and press the "Activate" button every time you want to play the game.
A big thank you to Zorlin3321 for the showcase of EMU Light's functionality, discovering an XBOX workaround and his help in testing the upcoming XInput implementation that will allow EMU Light to natively support XBOX controllers without the use of any outside applications.
Q&A: Basic How do I start using EMU Light?
Read the Installation section.
How do I stop using EMU Light?
Don't run the exe anymore. Optionally delete the EMU folder.
Can I be softbanned for using EMU Light?
There has never been a single confirmed ban report due to autohotkey scripts in the history of From Software game releases. The newly used Easy Anti Cheat does not have a history of flagging autohotkey scripts either, however it can certainly detect autohotkey scripts (EMU Light makes no attempt to mask anything). In the past (Dark Souls 3) the game would inform you if you were in violation before action was taken against your account, keep a lookout for such a message. That being said, use EMU Light only if you understand the possible consequences, which might include a softbann/shadowban from online of some kind (like in Dark Souls 3). It is also important to note that the same can be said for any actual mod on nexus, including reshade presets.
Why doesn't EMU Light work for me?
If you have the game installed on the same drive your system is installed, you might need to run EMU Light as an administrator.
Those are the source code files of EMU Light that are ran when you launch EMULight.exe. You can use them to modify the program to your liking or simply check what it does (and that it doesn't do anything bad).
How do I properly report bugs/get help?
Make a comment about the bug with detailed description of the problem. Use this format: "What I wanted to happen", "What I did to make it happen" and "What happened instead".
How to use quickcast while dual-wielding different magic catalysts
See this guide on how to set up EMUL to have quickcast work with dual-wielding of different types of magic.
Controller How does a controller support work?
EMU Light translates controller button presses to keyboard presses. This allows the controller to have the same functionality as Keyboard & Mouse. To get more buttons for your controller, EMU Light sacrifices one button of your choosing to act as a Switch button that switches the basic functionto switch function for all the other controller buttons for as long as the Switch button is held.
I tried to bind attacks, movement or attunement slot quickcast on my D-PAD and I am experiencing weird behavior, why is that?
This is because D-pad (directional input on the left side of the controller) function very much like a joystick with X and Y axis instead of 4 individual buttons. EMU is able to read which direction was pressed, but not held. Attacks, movement and quick cast functionality changes depending on whether a button was pressed or held for a while. As a rule of thumb, don't bind these actions to D-pad.
