is a specific version of a popular open-source modding tool used primarily for editing the internal parameters (the "GameParam") of FromSoftware titles like Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice , Dark Souls III , and Elden Ring . It allows players to modify game data—such as weapon damage, item costs, and spell behavior—directly within the game files. Key Functions and Features
| Phase | Tasks | Approx. Effort | |-------|-------|----------------| | | - Add a split‑view container (editor ↔ preview). - Implement a minimal tree‑view component using React (or the existing UI framework). | 2 days | | B. Parsing & data model | - Re‑use yapped’s existing parser to produce a AST . - Convert AST to a plain JS object for the tree component. | 1 day | | C. Real‑time sync | - Hook the editor’s onChange event → debounce → re‑parse → update tree. - Use requestAnimationFrame to keep UI fluid. | 2 days | | D. Validation integration | - Detect an optional $schema or --schema flag. - Run Ajv (for JSON‑Schema) or yaml‑schema‑validator in a WebWorker to avoid UI jank. | 2 days | | E. Diff engine | - Store the last‑saved AST in memory. - On save , compute a shallow diff using a library like deep-diff . - Highlight changed nodes in the preview (e.g., green/red background). | 1 day | | F. Search / filter | - Simple fuzzy search that walks the tree and hides non‑matching branches. | 1 day | | G. Export & clipboard | - Serialize the current view back to YAML/JSON. - Use the Clipboard API for “Copy as …”. | 0.5 day | | H. Tests & docs | - Unit tests for parser → tree conversion, validation handling, diff detection. - Add a “Live‑Preview” section to the README and screenshots. | 2 days | | I. Polish & bug‑squash | - Responsiveness on narrow screens, dark‑mode colors, keyboard shortcuts ( Ctrl+P to toggle preview). | 1 day |
While the version numbers continue to climb and the tool evolves, remains a significant marker in the timeline of Soulsborne modding. It represents the era where Elden Ring modding matured from simple file swaps to deep, systemic gameplay overhauls. For any aspiring modder looking to change the fundamental rules of the Lands Between, this tool remains an essential part of the toolkit.
: You edited a critical field (like behaviorJudgeId ) incorrectly. Cause 2 : You saved the regulation.bin while the game was running (never do this). Fix : Restore your backup regulation.bin and reapply edits slowly, testing after each change.
