Elden Ring - Unofficial Expansion (Legacy - DEPRECATED)

Elden Ring - Unofficial Expansion - Legacy Release

THIS RELEASE IS OUT OF DATE AND DOESN'T WORK WITH CURRENT ER VERSION

With the little free time I have, all my efforts are reserved to City of Rumona (UE re-release + major expansion) and cannot guarantee this current release to be playable. If anybody wishes to patch this public release, I would gladly upload it so that more people can enojoy my old release. But unfortunately, right now, I am not in the condition to invest time on fixing my legacy release, which now stands as an old relic.

The throne has been conquered, but the not all the royals accept you as the new ruler of the Lands Between.

Meanwhile, a much darker institution, the Choir, emerges.



Compatibility with post-DLC Elden Ring:

The updated Regulation.bin will only make the mod run on newer ER versions, from v1.10. However, there will be additional problems that will require an additional step for a better gameplay experience. You will have to delete the /chr folder from your UE /mod folder. This will cause the following features to disappear: Bloodborne dash, explosive bullets, faster Torrent, unlocked Unique Sword Arts. This is inevitable as those animation mods were made for older game versions and are currently not working at all. Keeping those old files will break the new movesets that came with SOTE.



You will also need to install a patch that addresses broken regulation.bin and text. Unofficial Expansion - Season 1 - Patch 1.20.5 contains a regulation+msg. You will need to overwrite your existing regulation.bin and msg folder in /mod to install.



Additionally, if you keep having black screen crashes, you may need to delete your config_eldenring.toml. It is part of the ModEngine Mod. You could redownload Mod Engine and simply move my /mod folder into the new ModEngine's /mod folder, or replace your existing config_eldenring.toml with the one I provide in the download section.



Unofficial Expansion offers the following:

- 50 new weapons

- 30 pieces of armor (many with special effects)

- 4 new maps: Bononia, City of The Porch; Tarneria, Hegemon Town, Yharnam, New Cainhurst

- Bloodborne Dash (light and mid roll)

- Hunter's firearms

- 3 new summons (Shadows of Yharnam, Hunters of Yharnam, Royal Guard)

- Altered level curves (hp, stamina, fp, equip load, resistences, defence all grow slightly different; you can easily abuse the system, probably)

- More than 17 new classes

- Unlocked Unique Ashes of war

- Larger FOV in no combat time

- Health bar scales for higher hp (so hp bar will be shorter than usual)

- Faster map cursor

- Faster respawn times

- New merchants at Roundtable Hold

- Smithing Stones and Glovewort can be now bought at the Unknown Merchant's shop, too.

- Longer lasting greases

- Boosted the effectiveness of several talismans and altered effects of few items

- Faster Torrent (thanks to AntiSteak for the tool)

- Eclectic game progression 

- Additional lore (told through new items and equipment)



In order to access the new equipment, check the Crafting Menu.



For a complete list of changes, please check my Discord Server https://discord.gg/n57VJbdYYW), #downlaod-mirrors-and-tutorials. You will find a small guide.



Common problems and common solutions:

Models not appearing, nothing changing besides main menu and... Actually I think that's it. Well, before reporting these problems, please make sure to try the following fixes, possibily all:

- Make sure you installed my mod correctly, following my tutorial

- Make sure again you installed my parts folder

- Find your Elden Ring settings file in %Appdata% and delete it. You do not need to delete save files

Additionally if you have the Save Data is corrupted bug, backup your saves and delete the entire Elden Rign folder in %Appdata%. Launch the game clean so that it creates new files and stuff. Finally, import your old save files. 



HOW TO INSTALL

Download Unofficial Expansion - Season 1 (the 7.8 gb pack) and extract it. It comes with preconfigured Mod Engine, so that once you extracted my mod files, you'll need to execute launchmod_eldenring.bat to play!

Before playing though, you'll need to install Unofficial Expansion - Season 1 - Patch 1.20.2. Extract the content of the pack and overwrite the regulation file that you can find in /mod.



Game language must be set to english!



I would consider this mod early acces, unrefined and incomplete mod. I plan to expand and perfect this Expansion with patches and thematical updates.

Hopefully the DLC won't mess up param structure so that I rather stop supporting this mod.

As stated, this mod started as a repack, therefore a huge chunck of of my Expansion is made of other people's work.

Each modder is precisely credited in the description of every item whose assets I was given permission to use.

Please, before accusing me of stealing assets or using unauthorized content, be sure you know how to read.



I'll just list the names of all the modders who authorized me to use their custom models, in no particular order:

- KRDCD

- Madao112

- Snivy101

- ICathal

- ScrubMilk

- Mattplara

- OunceStripes

- SatoshiKura

- SlayerWasek

- ApolloHoo

- SkeletonMaster0103

- Ercuallo

- Chernowo

- B1ackout850

- WrathfulMantis

- WitWoeWendigo

- Ifrit

- Cleverraptor6 (for letting me update and use his amazing Unlocked Unique Skills mod)



If you want to know what author made what, be sure to check my new weapons' description.

Some of the models were imported fully by me from Dark Souls III.

Some of the models were imported by from mods for Dark Souls III, and that is the case of most of Bloodborne equipment. In this case credit is due to PinoIsReading, who seems to have been offline for years now.



I want to thank the Discord communities of ?ServerName?, Scrub Milks Community and Elden Ring - Hexington for their support.

I want to thank Gabe12345, thefifthmatt, george/kingbore, Pear and 『 .S L e N d 3 r』/ Calibur Master for tolerating my stupid questions. Thefifthmatt also created Convenience Mod, which I used to unlock warp in tunnels.

I want to thank Xylozi for his Boss Resurrection mod, Anisol for the Bloodborne Dash mod, Erd Tools CPP by Nordgaren which enables map and crafting in combat. Cheesecakes61394 created Guns' Blazing mod, which I used for the firearm effects. Vawser created Grand Merchant, which I integrated.

I want to thank Katalash for the essential Mod Engine 2, and LukeYui for Seamless Coop, which is not included but everything is set up to easily make it work!

It is very important to underline the crucial role of Dylan/Auram, author of Dark Moon. Even though this Expansion isn't an addition to Dark Moon, it was created considering Dark Moon's regulation. All the rows are unique, so Unofficial Expansion's new equipment should not overlap with Dark Moon's original content.

I want to thank StrideerR for his precious support: it helped me changing so many rows and fix some very annoying bugs. 



Special credit is due also because the new NPC scripts were made by Dylan/Auram (and/or team) so I didn't create those new merchants and rows, but I simply altered their models and positions, giving them new identity and different shops.

Eventually, per transitive property, Dark Moon's credits:
