#Editing SFX files for DSR

So I've had great success using the Dantelion FXR3 editor for DS3 sfx files. but haven't quite found anything for Dark Souls Remastered. I did find the tool that converts the corresponding SFX file over to an editable XML file. But, I'm really missing all the extra context that the Dantelion editor added to the DS3 sfx files. So, are there any leads or tips on editing these XML ffx files for DSR?

The reason I'm asking is that I want to edit the torch sfx ids (511 is for torches in undead burg, 530 for torches in undead asylum) to actually emit a light source. I'm modifying the light, shadow, and light scattering ids, so it looks odd with the torches not emitting any light, but still having the fire effect. And I sadly can't just add a BTL light source like I can in ds2 and ds3, because I'd of course prefer to just do that lol.

ty in advance, you lovely people 🙂

Have you ever worked with .fxr.xml?

#

Also what are you doing with all this light and shadow modding? You seem to have been just tackling every single game in the past few weeks

sadly I don't have much experience editing these xml files outside of using the Dantelion editor for DS3 specifically. I just found a google doc describing some of the FXR ids and what they control for ER, so I'll see if anything is applicable there. might just give me more context for what I'm looking for. and yeah, I started modding dark souls games like a month ago and it's wild the journey it's been. but I have been super focused on lighting/shadow modding since I'm a sucker for visuals

There are notes for editing FFX in ds1 on the wiki by JeNoVaViRuS. I know there is a difference between working on them and ds3, but idk what it is

#

Tbh I wouldn’t start with the FXR stuff, I’d look at Jenova stuff first but iirc it’s a bit uh

#

Intense

#

But I can’t comment since I haven’t edited DSR

hmmm okay lemme find those notes! I swear I looked on the wiki and most things I found were either DS3 or ER, but it was late when I did it xD

#

Most of the stuff on the wiki is from me lel

#

Jenova’s ds1 stuff I believe is complete

#

Well, for basics

yeah I kinda figured it wouldn't be too tough. the sfx editing for ds3 to enable torch shadowing was...a process lol. still gotta tweak it though

#

ok found the guide by jenova and wow, not sure how I missed this. tysm!
