thanks

@nelVlesis Sure

@snoop duck As you know, I made a patch for this mod and my Regional Enemies. However, with your permission, I'd like to take it a step further.

I want to make subtle variants for Cove, make it look like a sailor. And for Weald by putting some mushrooms on it. I'd still be a patch that requires your mod.

@Snoop Duck @jonathanjoeyjoey
Further tests show that the lacking of command line "-skipvalidation" is the reason why online darkest.exe will crash on loading when launching the game not by using steam library but by directly clicking the darkest.exe, when this mod is enabled.

Thus, if players insist launching the game by directly clicking "_windows\win64\darkest.exe", they must firstly create a shortcut for the exe, then right click this shortcut's property, type "-skipvalidation" on the end of the target section, and use this shortcut to launch the game. By doing so, the crash will not happen.

@Snoop Duck @jonathanjoeyjoey
I have confirmed a savefile-loading crash does exist when playing "bonewheel" by directly clicking the "Darkest.exe" under the path "_windows\win64\", but that crash will NOT happen if launching the game formally from the steam library.

This crash is neither concerned with the exe itself, nor concerned with "bonewheel", as even the official "Darkest.exe" will trigger this crash too, if launched by directly clicked.

I shall keep searching the true reason of this weird crash. As for now, players and modders, please pay attention that the game should always be launched from steam library, but never be launched from directly clicking the "Darkest.exe", to avoid such a crash.

Reduced the volume of basically all the sound effects after a direct complaint. I was supposed to do a whole rework of the audio to use actual Dark Souls sounds, but got to distracted. In my defense, none of the sound files are labeled and it's a pain to track everything down. Did find the Bonewheel specific sounds at least.

@ snoop duck
* i fix it by play it on normal launcher (stream launcher)
I got crash bc i used to play in unofficial exe dd , because before we got new 64 bit update (old got 32bit) this file make game become 54 bit.
Here i the link : https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2218956201
You can search it by name “ Mod Limit CTD : Four Types of Overflow”
I don’t know you know this link or not but i try to give you more information.
I still not test your mod in dungeon yet because i start new dungeon but i’ll get you feedback soon. I’m oldie i play with mod for long time.

@semicolin
fromsoftware didn't make this mod. And I said I like it. Just like the port was drawn and adjusted to fit the style of DD1, this could have been another detail to address. Authors probably didn't think of it. It's something I would've brought up in a Beta had I been around.

It's something I could also patch if I wish it so. I'll think about it.

@jonathanjoeyjoey Did you get an error message before the crash? If so, what did it say?

i can;t used this mod,it crash when i usded it. I play in 64bitversion

@nelVIesis
it's based on a dark souls enemy, if you dislike the lack of historical realism in a game about eldritch horror take it up with fromsoftwhere

I really like this monster concept, it fits the game well. However, one major oversight is that the skeleton's legs and arms should be broken. After all, that was the whole point of execution by the wheel, to smash the limbs of the victim.

Hi! I really love the bonewheel as an enemy!

What I find underwhelming however are skulls he drops. I'm using only vanilla unreworked classes and still I find skulls useless and not worthy space in equipment or using in further quests.

What do you think about adding a minor bonus to protection or dodge, so there will be more reasons to use them in specific situations - not only against bonewheels.

My best regards!

Rip bone boy, his ride finally ended :(

@Just Luck Alright, just made the change and updated, hopefully it works

The unedited version I think is just ../ rather than ./../. Sorry if that was confusing haha

Changing one of the files in the win32 folder. Its called 'project_paths.txt'. The new update changed the path to the workshop upload by adding the folders win32 and win64 to the _windows folder.

@Just Luck I'm not sure I understand, do you mean changing the Mod Data path in the project file or changing one of the files in the win32 folder?

When I had to upload one of my mods on the workshop coloured tags would break and become pink. I had to chnage the project paths in the folder win32 to ../../ to fix the coloured tags due to the darkest dungeon 64 bit update. It could be something similar here too

@Tovio That's strange, Pink is the default color the game uses when you try to manually insert a color on a string, but the game doesn't recognize the id, but both of those both of those use base game color ids.

"Bone" rarity on Bonewheel Shield is pink too.

Funny smol ting but the alluring skull mark is now pink

Randomly got 4 of them in a new campaign, killed my entire party. Simply unbalanced, they do 10 things at once while you can maybe get off a 2 hp heal.

Awesome mod.Lost a few heroes to it in the past. Although some deaths may feel unfair due to bad rng I personally cant help but laugh at the pure ridiculousness of it happening. Its fun to let them get in a an attack and see what they do. They have low stun and riposte exists so there is a fair amount of counter play. It makes the enemy very unique and fun to encounter. Thanks for the mod

The rework is now live, there should now no longer be any softlocks or infinite loops, however, the pace of their gameplay is now very different as they now use a different method of resetting their actions that does not let them immediately act again. While much more functionally, they will likely need balance patches is the future as they are now much easier to deal with.

Just one monster with only 3 health left, I lost 4 max-level heroes and 32 trinkets, which forced me to abandon this save, and this monster kept attacking so that I didn't even have a turn to quit the battle and could only watch the heroes die. If you don't add a cap to its action, you might as well design it to have a speed of 9999 points!
就剩一个只剩3点生命的怪，令我失去了4个满级英雄和32个饰品，使我不得不放弃这个存档，这个怪一直在行动使我甚至没有回合退出战斗，只能眼睁睁看着英雄们死去。你如果不给它添加一个行动上限，那还不如就设计成遇见它重回老路算了！

Fuck you, it killed 4 of my heroes in 18 consecutive turns in the Champions Dungeon, didn't you give this thing a fucking action cap?
我草饲你的马，它在冠军本连续行动18个回合杀死了我4个英雄，你他妈没有给这个玩意设计一个行动上限吗？

The update to remove the softlock is now up. While functional, this will greatly impact the balance and flow of the mod, expect further updates soon to iron out the new system.

I'd like to announce I'll soon be reworking this mod once again as a softlock has been discovered and I want to avoid that ever happening again. My deepest apologies if that happened to you. Expect my quick fix to be drastic and be worked back closer to the original design over time. This current version will remain on the MEGA for those willing to take the rusk

This might be the best mod ever made for this game so far.

我勒个车轮滚滚啊

@Snoop Duck Honestly, I don't remember, maybe it was on the punch. If it has an ACC of 1, I must be unlucky that it hit, lol.

@small retarded cat Wait, is it happening on every crit or just the punch? Cause it's only meant to happen on the punch as an Easter egg (the punch has an acc of 1)

Honestly, I like the design of these enemies and don't even mind the way they attack. But they are way too loud. And that metal riff that plays on their crit is just unfit to the world of DD. Until that's changed I'm going to unsubscribe.

Great idea, sick enemy, and made me snort when it dealt a crit - well played, didn't expect that (I really should have, tbh)

But damn it, it's so buggy
Deathblows and ripostes in particular are all over the place. Sometimes riposte works, sometimes it straight up doesn't. Deathblow glitches and keeps showing up on every attack after the deathblow, and sometimes shows the sprite of an already dead adventurer.

At last, proof that the Darkest Dungeon is in fact peaceful. Its inhabitants kind.

yes they are definitely loud. personally i just heard it make a noise from what i think is a car commercial and i commend the mod author for that easter egg

Anyone else having issues with these guys being obscenely loud? I play at 20% master volume, and they're way too loud. I can only imagine the ear piercing sounds at 60% or higher.

If it's just me, feel free to ignore, I was going to manually change the sound volumes myself for personal use.

Otherwise, love the mod. Difficulty fits with how annoying these were in DS1.

Found a quick and janky fix to the riposte bug, it's not perfect but will work 95% of the time and shouldn't break anything even if it doesn't

fighting these guys on a new save is brutal lmfao, Incredible mod though!

by the way yes, for some reason I forgot to say this, it looks pretty creepy and weird

Turns out there as also a pretty serious glitch that I wasn't aware of, they can come back from the dead to keep attacking if killed by a riposte. This very much was not intended and I'm the process of fixing it.

The nerfs are up, look at how I massacred my boy. I did technically buff the Level 1 version by giving them a stun, but it's only a 30% chance, which is highly unlikely to ever proc against most heroes, and is really only there so the higher levels having them is less of a jumpscare.

@Cyber Artemida I wasn't able to get them drop only one of their rewards, they always dropped them in batches when it happened during testing. Outside of that, the improved loot tables now have much better variation and yield, so if you're feeling more trusting later, you can give them another try.

@Cyber Artemida Oh, if they're not dropping any reward except the skulls, that's a massive problem. Those are just supposed to be an extra bonus on top of the normal reward. I'm putting out the nerf update soon, so I'll look into what the issue might be there.

@Snoop Duck the description said that skulls and gold drop for winning, I never got any amount of gold, and the skulls are essentially useless, even harmful since they don't give any buffs and you can't sell them either, so I also deleted the mod after some time after my tank of level 6 determination was killed by a herd of these skeletons

@Notorius Cait Sith VII It's to emulate how they never stop attacking in Dark Souls, I'll admit that I overtuned their damage and spd, but they are intended to be a broken strong enemy and I don't intend to change their 6 hit combo mechanic.
@Cyber Artemida I was thinking that I made the reward part of the risk-reward trade off too low, so I'll be changing their loot tables to something more generous.

Update is coming today, don't believe what that last sentence of the description says

Why the fuck can this asshole attack 50 times in a row? Lost 2 great heroes to this bitch.

呱！吃我雷多大锤（狂乱）
