Pretty sure the mods folder is used for the non-Steam version of the game (/windows_nosteam i believe). If you have it seperate and manage to get it working it could be anice way to test mods without messing with your base files or the hassle of the workshop for every little revison.

Yeah, that's what I've done mostly, though I admit I haven't tried much with custom classes. Tried to test one out once, essentially a carbon copy of the flagellant, just changed all of the file names and ids and stuff; couldn't get it to stop crashing. Not sure where you would need to look. My best advice would actually be to look at some of the existing class mods ( Exaelus's are very good). See what files they modify, and how they do it. Might learn what we're missing.

If the mod shows up and is selected after subscribing, and you are sure it does not work (You tested it on several weeks) than it is a problem with your mod. I suggest verifying your file hirarchy is the same as the DarkestDungeon folder. That could certainly cause what you're describing (Happened to me once).

Hello everybody.

I'm trying to find a way to reset a character's skills, including camping skills. The only way that I could think of was to kill them, then revive them with the From Beyond Town event. However, upon further analysis, it seems the event is pretty hard-coded. So my questions to you, fantastic community, are as follows

--Is there a way to erase all skill progression on a specific character? (In the way From Beyond does)

--Can the From Beyond Town Event be set to revive a specific character? (I suspect not, but hey, worth a shot)

--Does the revived character from the From Beyond Town Event keep camping skills?

--Does the revived character from the From Beyond Town Event keep diseases? (You can guess whih one I'm thinking of)


Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

Maester Silvio is doing a big Modding Tutorial set of streams, which he is also uploading to Youtube. In the very first one he explains how to use TortoiseSVN, something I myself had never heard of, and how it helps with many things, including this precise problem. I reccomend you check it out.

Would be difficult I think, given the way the entire UI is spread out. All accounting for 4 heroes. Pretty sure it's hardcoded

Would recommend you just dive into the fantastic Official Modding Guide made by Maester Silvio. Everything you need to get started and understand the basic concepts is right there. Once you have that general idea, just get your hands dirty and fiddle with files. Try and understand how things work. If I change this thing here, will it have the effect I expected? If it doesn't, why did it produce that effect then? Just experiement and try to get an understanding of how things function.

After that just decide on a concept you want to create or modify, and go for it! It won't work on the first couple of tries, but fiddle with it. And don't forget to refer to the Modding Guide by Maester Silvio. You would be surprised by how many questions are truly answered there, if you just look hard enough. (Myself, I forgot one comma on the curio file! Whole thing was unreadable. Solved it with the Guide)

Hello! Rather new to modding myself, but I can try to answer to what I have gathered in my personal experience.

-No idea on whether or not you can actually add additional resolve levels (i.e. 7+, etc.), though I susoect not. However I am reasonably certain you could add more tiers of upgrades to skills and equipment, and simply make their requirements be the previous item on the tree, not dependant on resolve level.

-Again, no idea, but I suspect this one might be more plausible than adding an entire new resolve level, but like I said, can't say for sure.

-Sorry, no idea. Look around the modes/new_game_plus/ folder and see if there isn't anything there for you. Maybe in rules.json?

-Would require testing. It may very well be possible but I'm not sure if it's possible to make an ability target an enemy and an ally. You might have to maybe do something akin to the abomination's Transform ability. Technically, you could have an effect activate that affects your party, but make the ability target enemies and do the same thing to them. It should be able to work. Also look at the Jester's info.darkest. He has the most variety in enemy and ally targeting (single and group enemy, single and group ally).


Almost positive you can do what you mention with the Hamlet dungeon. After Vvulf update, all dungeons now have a parameter that says something like 'requieres_quest_to_be_visible'. Just set that to true and setup quests for the dungeon to generate. You could even customize all sorts of things for the hamlet. Just be careful it doesn't break the game when it does finally try to generate the Vvulf quest.

I might actually end up using your idea to implement the Hamlet dungeon myself!


Hope this can be of some help to you! The best of luck!
