• Rename DarkSoulsII_patched.exe to DarkSoulsII.exe

If you don't want to use other DLL mods:

• Rename DebugManager_v2.0.dll to DINPUT8.dll, drag and drop both the DLL, the DebugManager folder, userconfig.properties and the font folder inside the Game folder (where DarkSoulsII.exe is located)

Basic Usage

• Press L3 + R3 to enable Debug Dash. While Debug Dash is active, the player character with move at triple the game's speed and have its gravity entirely disabled
• When any Debug GUI is open, right click in the main game window (outside of GUI windows) to bring up a PopUp menu with some extra actions (such as FPS cap, FPS display)

Enemy Control Guide

Attacks: DebugManager will map up to 6 of the available inputs for each attack cateogry, which are:

1. Action set 1 (EnemyBehavourFirst)
2. Action set 2 (EnemyBehaviourSecond)
3. Special combat actions, such as ranged attacks (EnemyBehaviourThird)
4. Combo attacks (EnemyComboBehaviour)

Attack sets are bound to the A, B, Y, X, R1/RB, R2/RT, DPAD buttons. The second set is the default set. Holding down L2/LT will switch over to the third action set (special attacks). Holding down L1/LB will switch over to the first action set (Action set 1) Holding down both L1/LB and L2/LT will switch over to the fourth action set (combo attacks) Releasing any of the above combinations will switch back to the default set.

Dodge: If available, dodges are bound to the directional arrows (DPAD) while the B button is held. One arrow for each direction. If the character does not perform any dodge actions it's because it doesn't have any.

Block: Holding down L1/LB will put the character in a blocking stance. Letting go of the key will make it so that the character stops blocking.

Dash: Hold B to sprint while NOT holding L1/LB and L2/LT.

Jump: Press Right Stick (R3) to jump. Contrary to the player character, this works even if the enemy is not moving (it will play a slightly different animation)

Lock On/Unlock: Press Left Stick (L3) to toggle target lock. The character will look for the nearest target it can attack (taking team type into consideration) and use that as a lock on target. Right now, no kind of visibility tests are performed to determine the lock target, so it will lock on through walls.

Alt Stance: Some enemies have an alternative stance. You can access it by pressing START.

Weapon Switch: You can cycle through the weapons an enemy has available by pressing BACK.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

• If you move too far away from the player, the controlled enemy will deload
• Some enemies could deal reduced damage if you make them fight against other enemies. This can be changed in CHR_PARAM, through external tools (such as Cheat Engine)
