-Instructions-

To install this mod, back up and replace the dvdbnd3.bdt and dvdbndt3.bhd5 files in your DATA folder in your Dark Souls directory
(C://Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Dark Souls Prepare to Die Edition/DATA)

To uninstall the mod, just replace the new dvdbnd3 files with the old ones. If something goes horribly wrong, the modification is internal and will be removed when Steam deletes and reinstalls the game.

This mod is NOT COMPATIBLE with any other mod that uses these same files.

-DIY-

There is a guide on using Wulf's Tools to make edits to classes, written by McJ0hns0n, mentioned above. The guide contains all instructions you need to change class information. Please save yourself some work and read the instructions carefully when you do so, the actual effects of your changes are hard to predict when you skip over so much as a single line of it.

Changing weapon information or other information is a little more advanced. The spreadsheet included in the guide includes an approximation of all tables that you see in the game's files using Wulf's Tools, allowing you to change nearly any value in the game (some effects go beyond the tables and are handled by the code of the game itself, like animations and the behavior of Fall Control). Some headings are also misleading, as the value that determines whether or not a weapon can be repaired is in the "BothHandEquipable" column, etc.

Expect a more complete guide when I get a break.
