There are other custom mod managers available for each game, too, though these tend to be less supported than the Nexus Mod Manager. It is an all-inclusive manager that links mods downloaded from the Nexus to their associated games automatically. The Nexus Mod Manager is the most straightforward way to install mods for just about every game. While there, check the comments (or a readme, if available) for the recommended load order – loading prerequisites after their associated mod tends to break the game. Always check the prerequisites for each mod you want to install and make sure those are properly set up before attempting the addon. This is not recommended for players new to modding, as the process tends to be different depending on the addons.Įvery single mod out there has some kind of pre-requisite addon, except the basic script extenders and other engine enhancing addons.
There are some tools out there like Mod Managers that make it a little easier, but the most exact way to get them working is to understand the installation process and try it manually. The latter is able to work with the Steam Workshop, while Dark Souls requires players to go through each part of the installation on their own. You just read each pointer/address into a register and add the offset, repeat for every offset, after adding the last offset the next read will be for the value stored at the end of that pointer chain.Modding a Dark Souls game is a different beast than, say, modding The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
Of course you can read pointers in a script, the game has to do it in assembly after all. Then you do pointers where you can freeze the value then you write a script where you don't have to find a pointer, then at the end you have to do deal with writing a script where player and enemy health are both going through the same code so you have to write a compare to determine when to decrease health and when not to. Just like how the tutorial takes you through it in each step, steps 2-5 or so you just find and change values of different types and unknown initial values. Then you don't have to worry about pointers breaking every time the game updates (well if you use aobs) or have that issue where you take so much damage that you die before the frozen value can be rewritten by CE (though there can be multiple code paths, typical for instant death eg. For scripts you'd usually find the code that decreases health and change it to not do that. Generally you wouldn't, you'd just freeze the values.
