About this addon

What it does

Based on the now inactive project by _ForgeUser3447963

Also includes a "bonfire lit" animation when resting at the Wayfarer's Bonfire toy.

 

  • /dsds on/off: Enables/disables the death screen.
  • /dsds version [1/2]: Cycles through animation versions (eg. Dark Souls 1/Dark Souls 2). Sets to specified version if an argument is supplied.
  • /dsds sound [on/off]: Enables/disables the death screen sound. Toggles if passed no argument.
  • /dsds tex [path\to\custom\texture]: Toggles between the "YOU DIED" and "THANKS OBAMA" textures. If passed an argument, it will try to use the specified texture instead. Note: custom textures need to have dimensions that are a power of 2 (eg, 512x256). The path to the custom texture is relative to your base WoW directory so it should look something like:
    "Interface\\Addons\\DarkSoulsDeathScreen\\media\\YOUDIED.tga"
    
    (notice the double backslashes)
  • /dsds test [bonfire]: Shows the death splash screen as if you had died. Displays the bonfire animation if 'bonfire' is passed.
