Dark Souls 1: Capture the Flag

Wulf2k is working on another tool for Dark Souls 1 known as EventHook. It’s currently a work-in-progress, but it logs EventFlags as they occur. It allows you to name them, import/export a text file of the named IDs, and also manipulate the associated value.

This could be very helpful to anyone who wants to test stuff or mess around in the game. If you’re making lore videos and want access to a complete NPC questline, you can manipulate the flags pretty easily. For example, I was able to send the Crestfallen Warrior back to Firelink Shrine after he had hollowed and moved to New Londo Ruins.

EventHook doesn’t have a public release yet, but in the meantime I’m ID’ing as many flags as I can. Hopefully most of the ones people will be interested in will already be found by then.

Something I find pretty neat is seeing all the flags that get tripped when you pay Oswald for Absolution:

As you can see, a whole bunch of values get turned off, disabling hostility/ disapproval from most NPCs. However, these are all I have identified so far, and don’t really have any idea what the rest of those blank slots are (though I still need to get Sieglinde, Gough, and Ciaran) . It’ll be fun to try and chip away at it.

There’s also one value in the Absolution list that changes to 1 instead of a 0, though I think that’s probably just the flag that tells Alvina to spawn in Darkroot. She normally leaves after you attack her or break covenant, so that’s probably what tells her to come back.

Demon’s Souls: More Exploration of the Broken Archstone Map

Wulf2k recently uploaded another video, giving us a more detailed look at the second area of the unfinished “Northern Limit” area. Also known as the Broken Archstone/ Land of the Giants.

Demon’s Souls: Video of Unused Testing Maps

Another video of Demon’s Souls hacking by Wulf2k. This time he loads and demonstrates most of the unused testing maps. There’s some pretty silly stuff in here!

Demon’s Souls: Alternate Tutorial Prototype

Wulf2k accessed a test map, m99-99-10-00, which appears to be a prototype of the tutorial stages:

A few things of note:

It forces the climbing mechanic on the player right away, which would’ve proved helpful in a couple spots in the main game.

Unused NPC at 3:05.

Cool corpse models with bones sticking out from the armor.

Different area/path from the final level at 4:50.

Kickable skulls! (7:05)

Some weird statues in the background of the Dragon God area (very end).

edit: Wulf2k made a follow-up video, which shows the area with more textures loaded in, and takes a closer look at some of the stuff. It also shows another side path/ shortcut at 7:00 in.

Wulf2k no clips his way down to the distant Boletarian town seen from 1-2.

Demon’s Souls: New Info on an Unused Enemy

Credit goes entirely to Wulf2k for this find:

if proxy:GetLocalPlayerChrType() == CHR_TYPE_GreyGhost then    LuaFunc_VisibleTheWanderingDemon( proxy, param, demon_id_list ); else    LuaFunc_InvisibleTheWanderingDemon( proxy, param, demon_id_list ); end

What we’re looking at is a script that checks to see if the player is in human form or phantom form. This means that they planned on having this enemy/character appear only when the player was a phantom:

Though this enemy is of course unused in the final game, Wulf2k found that this particular script still runs in the Nexus and Latria maps:

The references to the Wandering Demon are commented out of every script except the Nexus (m01) and Latria (m04). Doesn't mean there's actually a demon still in those levels, but every time you die or revive the script tries to turn it visible or invisible.
