DSEventScriptTools

Editing tools and documentation files for the Dark Souls 1 event scripts.

For event script mod developers:

• documentation contains files useful when making mods, most importantly an unpacked version of common.emedf and its enums. For those interested in writing their own tools to deal with .emevd files, the file format specification sheet is also included here.

For event script mod developers & Dark Souls technical enthusiasts:

• Unpacked Emevd contains numerical and verbose unpacked versions of all the vanilla .emevd files in the game. These include the "dummy" area files m##.emevd which rarely contains any scripts and never run. The verbose versions are included so that those who do not wish to unpack the files themselves but still examine them may do so.
• Unpacked Emeld contains unpacked versions of the vanilla .emeld event description files. These files are not loaded by the vanilla game, but are useful for determining the purpose of existing events.

Usage Instructions:

A valid Python installation is needed to use these tools. I use Python 2.7, so some changes in Python 3 may break these.

• To unpack .emeld files (although I have put unpacked versions in Unpacked Emeld), download and use unpack_eld.py.
• To unpack, repack, and generate both numeric and verbose versions of .emevd files, download emevd_handler.py, emevd_opener.py, emevd_rebuilder.py and evd_command_to_readable.py. The main file is emevd_rebuilder.py; use python emevd_rebuilder.py -h for a short summary of the flags and arguments.
