DSMapStudio 1.11.1

Notice on the latest Elden Ring patch

This update is to resolve issues in 1.11.0 and does not support the new Elden Ring update.
As predicted, this is a larger update than usual, so a resolution to this won't be immediately forthcoming.

Projects may fail to load if either the mod or the game version is ahead (eg. unknown dcx format)
If you intend to mod the game, remain on or downpatch back to 1.10.1 until a release is made for the new update.

Sorry for getting your hopes up with the green update button.

Changes

Map Editor & Model Editor

• Don't erase walkroutes in Sekiro
• Fix loading certain DS3 maps due to hitfiltertype
• Fix Hide/Unhide icon
• Chalice map input box should now be large enough to finish writing the map name
• Removed blackened textures in DS3 (Vertex color shading has been disabled)

Param Editor

• Fix shortcuts for searchbars

Hotfix 1

• Resolve proper walkroutes in Sekiro

Hotfix 2

• Fix some input boxes being too short (eg. 16 bit short integers only accepting 4 digits)
• Fix ctrl-v into large text boxes when existing text is small

Hotfix 3

Thank you for the prompt bug reports.

Regarding the Elden Ring DLC

This release is intended to be the last before the DLC, barring any hotfixes (or more substantial fixes if necessary.)
We can't predict the changes that will be made with the DLC's arrival, and can't predict how long the update will take, but we do expect something more than a regular game update.
Usually, updates to the paramdex (in the assets folder) are sufficient for a game regulation update, and so minor updates are sometimes distributed on ?servername? as was the case for Armored Core 1.06.
If loading the DLC's params remains this simple, a version of DSMS 1.11 may be sufficient with an updated paramdex, or a version of 1.11 with a trivial update to support DLC may be released.
However, most other elements of the editor are liable to break (not in the least an update to UXM will be needed first to even unpack the new files) and will take time to fix. Time that may be spent playing the DLC first - hence we are asking for your patience.
Please be mindful that any questions you have may have been answered already in ?ServerName? or the development discord, so please exercise restraint when asking for updates.
All that said, it's been a long while since the last release and even the DLC shouldn't take that long to tackle.
If it's going slowly, please feel free to contribute to the efforts.
Thank you for your support,
-Philiquaz

DSMapStudio 1.08.2

This is a hotfix that fixes a regression in saving DS2 params introduced in 1.08.1. It's recommended that all DS2 modders upgrade to this version.

DS2 MODDERS: param load priority has changed due to bug fixes! Make sure your params & map params contain your changes before saving!

If your DS2 param changes are missing, you may need to load your project with the loose/non-loose param setting initially, then resave to the desired loose/unloose state. After that params will load properly.

DSMapStudio 1.08.1

DSMapStudio 1.09 is still under heavy development and not ready for release yet, so with the Elden Ring 1.10 patch we're releasing DSMapStudio 1.08.1 with param upgrading support for Elden Ring 1.10 as well as a variety of bug fixes and the latest community updates for param/msb fields.

DS2 MODDERS: There is a bug with saving params. Don't use this version before a hotfix is released!

Features:

• Param upgrader now supports Elden Ring 1.10
• Community updates for param fields, param metadata, default row names, and MSB fields. DS2 especially got a number of updates.
• Lots of Sekiro param field updates courtesy of MyMaidIsKitchenAid
• You can now right click to copy a param ID to the clipboard in the context menu

Bug Fixes:

• Fixes for DeS model placement in the map editor
• Fixes for some misc crashes in the text editor
• Fix various crashes that occur for corrupted projects
• DS2 event locations are now under the region render filter
• Fix some DS2 issues regarding loading loose params or packed regulation depending on project settings
• MSB rectangle and circle regions will now render in the viewport and not cause a crash
• Various other fixes for crashes and other minor bugs
