About this mod
This is a map mod collection that adds several new areas, weapons, and armors to the game.
- Permissions and credits
-NOTE: This mod was created based on Demon's Souls BLUS30443 (English release) and the text params will be incompatible with any other version of Demon's Souls. I.E. placeholder text with show for items/armor/weapons for non-English releases.)
INSTALLATION-
Simply place the mod folder contents (USRDIR folder and image files) into your Demon's Souls PS3_GAME folder and overwrite the contents when prompted. File path should be (wherever your Demon's Souls game is saved) > Demon's Souls > PS3_GAME <--Place files here.
It is also best to delete your RPCS3 PPU cache. File path should be (wherever your RPCS3 folder is saved) > RPCS3 > cache > BLUS30443(different for other territories) <--Delete the ppu folders inside here.
-Important- It is best to make a copy of your original Demon's Souls game files and install the mod to the new copy. (This is to avoid corrupting game saves and so you can run either Vanilla or DeS Expanded separately.)
To improve load times and other issues you can delete the Demon's Souls PPU cache.
Open your RPCS3 root folder, open the cache folder, open your version of Demon's Souls (BLUS30443 in this case), and delete the contents. Run Demon's Souls and it should automatically recompile new PPU files.
This map mod collections adds in new areas to worlds 1-1 [new PVP arena+special items - explorable ramparts], 1-2 [explorable lower city - repeatable Allant fight+special items], 2-1 [explorable lower Stonefang/Inner Stonefang- vangaurd encounter], 3-1 [new explorable area Prison of hope], 3-2 [restored tower - repeatable Maneater fight], 4-1 [new explorable area - PVP Arena], 4-2 [repeatable Old Hero fight], 5-1 [Bridge skip - Alternate route], 5-2 [New area in the swamp+ PVP Arena], Nexus - [new items/multiplayer summons], and the tutorial level [added areas, enemies, and items]
Adds in new weapons
-Archstone Sword (Textures not working. Will be fixed in a future release.)
-Masamune (bastard sword recolor/altered moveset) - based on the Masamune from Chrono Trigger
-Faded Moonlight Sword (Large Sword of Moonlight) +1 to +4
-Holy Moonlight Sword (Large Sword of Moonlight +5) altered textures and icon

Adds in new Armors (Standalone armor sets. Not replacers)

This mod is for anyone looking for a new experience in Demon's Souls and those who enjoy exploration.
As one of my favorite games, I hope you all enjoy this mod collection and find it to be a good reason to play through the game again!
Notes: This mod is not compatible with most other mods. Texture replacers/Lighting/visual mods should work fine but, anything that overwrites scripts and .msb files will break the mod. : ( Sorry. There are some changes that will affect the game that cannot be fixed as of now. The primary examples are:
-Phalanx MUST be defeated to access the lower city.
-Adjudicator MUST be defeated to access the new area in 4-2.
-The new armors/weapons may take a bit to load in. (Will be optimized in a future release)
-Load times might be slightly longer due to more resources being loaded. (Will be optimized in a future release)
-Some enemies may or may not act entirely as expected
-leaving or reloading the game in new areas may cause some issues. [Hopefully this has been fixed]
-This mod will be constantly updated along with the individual releases.
For any bugs or issues, PLEASE notify me!
