Berserker Armor and Dragon Slayer

Disclaimer: It's recommended to use Mod Engine 2 in order for the mod to work properly, due to the use of a modified regulation.bin file (if a future update changes this file, I will try to update the mod as soon as possible). Be sure to make backups.



INTRODUCTION

This mod adds an entirely new armor set, the Berserker Armor from BDO, full with custom names, icons and text descriptions. The textures have been entirely reworked by yours truly. There are also optional files for a hidden face on the Berserker Helm.
I've made two outfits:

Berserker Set


Berserker Helm: Beast of Darkness helmet.
Berserker Helm (Altered): Retracted helmet.
Berserker Armor: Beast of Darkness armor.
Berserker Gauntlets.
Berserker Greaves.




Guts Set


Berserker Helm (Altered): Retracted helmet.
Berserker Armor (Altered) Unactive armor with accessories.
Guts' Iron Arm: Iron prosthesis with full body bandages.
Guts' Iron Arm (Altered): Iron prosthesis with short arm bandages.
Berserker Greaves.


Dragon Slayer

It also adds the Dragon Slayer greatsword, for which I used the amazing model from G. Salmon over at Sketchfab as a base, cleaned up and reworked with a new handle to be more accurate, with new textures I made from scratch. It replaces the Greatsword, also with proper name and description. The Dragon Slayer comes in two variants, the default one is more weathered and gritty, while the optional 'Classic' variant is brighter and less weathered.

If you'd like a smaller version with less clipping, you can find it under Old Files in "Berserker Armor and Dragon Slayer - Reg. Ver. 1.06".


HOW TO OBTAIN THEM

You can obtain all items through the Twin Maiden Husks shop in Roundtable Hold, 1000 runes a piece. Also, you can buy them more than once in case you drop or discard them for some reason.

The items are separate so you can try to mix and match with other armor, but it's not the intended purpose so it won't always look right. I recommend using the complete sets. I also highly recommend using Transmogrify Armor by tomcIark to use your preferred armor stats while having the Berserker armor look.


INSTALLATION (Please, read this part)

[list=1]
Download Berserker Armor and Dragon Slayer - Regulation Ver. 1.14.1, and the latest Regulation Ver. Update* (REQUIRED FOR LATEST VERSION).
Extract Berserker Armor and Dragon Slayer - Regulation Ver. 1.14.1, and copy the contents of the mod folder to your Mod Engine 2 mod folder. (If you want to use any of the Optional stuff, replace the corresponding files, and run the Setup file for the custom icons).
Extract the Regulation Ver. Update* (REQUIRED FOR LATEST VERSION), and place the regulation.bin file in your Mod Engine 2 mod folder. (If you are already using a modified regulation.bin, use DSMapStudio (or Smithbox) to import my modded .csv files to your own regulation.bin)
That's it. Your Mod Engine 2 mod folder should look like this:
            

Launch the game using launchmod_eldenring.bat (Steam needs to be running in the background).


TROUBLESHOOTING

If you have any issues regarding parts of the body like missing face or arms, or the items not being available in the Twin Maidens shop, then your game is not loading the regulation.bin file, or it's been outdated due to a patch. The mod has been playtested plenty and it's in proper condition.

If you have the proper regulation.bin version and the game does not show the items on the shop nor display the armor, try redownloading Mod Engine 2.

If you're having visual and performance issues (blocky and messy black physics on screen with low FPS), disable Ray Tracing.

If Windows Security is flagging the file as a virus, click on the dialogue window and allow the file on your PC. You can also disable Windows Security, download and install the mod, then re-enable it (nothing I can really do on my end about this, just the way the machine learning in Windows automatically flags certain files for some reason).

Regarding moveset mods, any issues you have with those just ask the original mod authors.

Please use Mod Engine 2 and make sure you have the latest update files to ensure that the mod works as intended. If you want to use my mod alongside another mod that modifies the regulation.bin file, you're gonna have to edit merge those files using DSMapStudio (or Smithbox).

Remember to make a backup. I've provided the .csv files with my modded data in the Files tab. You can then follow the 'merging mods' tutorial I linked above. The added param rows are the following:

*You can also try UXM, but I've heard some users have issues with that method.

That's about it. Enjoy the mod.
