So basically I'm trying to build my own custom mod setup for Dark Souls 2 Scholar, and I was thinking about using "Load Loose Params" mod to simplify things a bit for me. So I tried to use DSMapStudio to merge a couple of mods I'm interested in, to extract the modified params and merge them without having to use modengine basically. Thing is that when I open the enc_regulation.bnd.dcx file, the modified params don't get highlighted in green, as usually happens (and I know for sure I'm using a modified file). Does anyone know how to solve this issue? (If it's an issue, that is)
#DSMapStudio doesn't highlight modified params

don't use game directory as your mod folder
that's the folder mapstudio is expecting to find vanilla params to compare with
crimson glen
That's the point, I created a folder on the desktop for the mod, and created the DSMapStudio project inside that folder
sick forge
hmm, so you're sure the vanilla directory is unmodified?

I unpacked it with UXM 🤔
sick forge
pain
crimson glen
well, I need it to be unpacked anyways 😅 now I'm trying to reinstall the game, I want to see if using DSMapStudio before using UXM maybe works
sick forge
what version of dsms are you on?
crimson glen
latest, 1.8.02
crimson glen
it opens like normal, but all params are grey, as if they were vanilla
sick forge
well ye cus nothing changed yet
crimson glen
but I know for sure they're not, since I'm trying to modify a modded file to extract the params from
sick forge
no I'm saying make a new project
