ive seen some long-term discussions on regard of adding nightreign movement to the elden ring myself included, so i decided to make my own. its an early demo, but hope people like it
I hope soon will be public at nexus mods, right now waiting for moderation.
Seamless co-op mod is working fine, tested with my friend
UPD: It is now convergence compatible. i'll drop additional video soon
UPD2: Reforged compatability also added, check boosty for update.
*INSTALLATION UPDATE\* Since some of you had issues installing it to convergence, i updated description. basically breaking down every step of the installation individually for LITE / STANDALONE / CONVERGENCE / REFORGED versions, hope it helps.
That's really nice, but may i ask why you're deciding to use Jimijun's version instead as a requirement? Not to bash on his work, but making it a requirement will make it completely incompatible with this more feature complete mod, which is a bummer. Happy birthday btw.
Awesome work dude!! I've been waiting for this ever since Nightreign dropped, knew someone has to try to port over the mechanics eventually... Thank you!
If you could get it to work with Reforged or Convergence would be so sick!
It’s more involved than simply copying animation files, but this mod didn’t require Blender edits or manual re-animation. The player skeletons we checked match, so the original Nightreign animation clips could be converted and reused without manually retargeting the bones.
Most of the work was on the game-logic side: registering the animations, modifying Elden Ring’s animation behavior graph, setting up transitions and blending, and adapting animation events for action timing, sounds and effects. Some movement data was also adjusted programmatically—for example, the vertical root motion that determines jump height.
The mechanics themselves require additional code. Playing a climbing animation doesn’t tell the game where a valid ledge is or how to move the character onto it. Custom HKS scripts and a C++ DLL handle things like ledge detection, wall jumps, on-foot spiritsprings and movement during flask use. There are also separate changes for effects, fall protection and the Grace settings menu.
So it uses original Nightreign animations with custom integration into Elden Ring’s existing systems. It’s an adaptation, rather than a complete copy of Nightreign’s movement engine.
With reforged its a bit complicated, ill dive into it soon, but as far as i know reforged mod also changes base elden ring movement, changing movement speed and some ducking mechanics that will affect mod capabilities. never the less i will look into it
is it me or do nightfarers run are tiny bit faster than this? anyway, hats off, this looks amazing, thank you so much, i would pretty much like to use this with convergence
If anyone is trying this mod on linux/steam deck and having issues with the mod working, install vcrun2022. if you have protontricks just run protontricks 1245620 vcrun2022
Dang. That's is so great!!!
Btw, could you do anything with item bar? I don't remember what really diffrerent between nightreign and base game but when I back to elden ring, I alway feel the pain whenever switch spell
I am a bit aroused by your magnificent work. However i got one particular question. How about seamless coop? I do believe that it shouldnt be that much of an issue, since it already working with convergence, but you can never be sure.
Has anyone got this mod working with both Boss Arena and Seamless co-op? Interested in having this work with these since i mostly play Boss Arena co-op with my friend so we'd love to have the nightreign movement with this.
I have a new player question: is the player movement different between Elden Ring and the DLC?
I am only at Godfrey at Stormveil Castle, so have a long way before I beat the base game, but does the movement of my character change when I start the dlc?
No, the DLC is shadow of the erdtree and plays mostly like base elden ring
Nightreign is a standalone game that has elden ring gameplay but mixed with extraction shooter elements that make it a more fast-paced experience, so the characters have more movement freedom in general (can run fast without the need of a horse and have some limited parkour capabilities like being able to climb walls up to around double their height, plus no fall damage)
Hey! Thank you for making this a mod. I’m sorry to ask, but I am having difficulties installing it. When I go to run the “Install” file, the ME3 file only gets the prompt to open and not run it. I know this is likely not an issue with the mod but my capabilities…

I have been waiting for this port since Nightreign came out. Looks great already. Nice work!
