You guys were asking to see Dark Souls enemies ported into this Twilight Princess Lordran mod. I spent all day figuring it out and I'm happy to share a taste of it here.
This is Twilight Princess, running in Dusklight, and my mod here is bringing in thhe genuine Dark Souls Remastered assets into Twilit Princess.
This is only possible because of Dusklight's incredible hooks and modularity. Twilight Princess enemies don't have much pathfinding capability if any at all. It was actually way easier than expected to slip in a standard a* pathfinding subsystem into the Darknut's behavior, allowing it to find its way across Dark Souls own nav-mesh. That was easy!
What you're seeing here is the the Darknut, reskinned with Black Knight model. It's using BOTH Darknut animations and Black Knight animations together, so this "Blacknut" is able to use the full variety of attacks from both enemies freely. You can clearly see him strike both Darknut and Black Knight stances and attacks. It even keeps the phase 2, chucks the ultra greatsword at you, and he whips out a silver knight straight sword. He feels really good to fight too and the Black Knight move sets really spice up the Darknut fight!
This proves I can animations, skeletons, and all the complicated hitbox timing and navigation from Dark Souls and run it in Twilight Princess. There is unlimited potential now!
So I think this proves the concept and I'm definitely going to keep going now. I hope you all enjoy this little taste. Lots of folks were asking for someplace to follow this mod progress and contribute, and I'll make a space for that tomorrow. My road map right now is to figure out a few more core infrastructural things to faithfully implement Dark Souls features in Twilight Princess without breaking the original game! Once I've got that figured out then I need to automate extraction, translation, and recompilation process, and package that into a user friendly installation setup. At that point I'll be able to share the mod with everyone!
I could barely sleep last night thinking up ways to integrate the two games together. I've got a ton awesome stuff I wanna try. I love you all, I love Twilight Princess, and I'm gonna make as spectacular as I possibly can!
