About this mod Machine translation

Added some Crimson Palace themed backgrounds to the corridors of the original dungeon.

More dungeon background variations - Crimson Court add on

🎨Module Introduction

This is a **Crimson Court DLC Expansion Pack** made for the **More Dungeon Background Variants** mod of **Darkest Dungeon**!

It does not add any background to the Yard DLC itself, as the Yard DLC itself already has quite a few background changes. So, I decided to make something different for the DLC!

✨ Core Functions

This mod adds **3 brand new backgrounds** to **all vanilla dungeons**, for a total of **12** new backgrounds with a Crimson Palace flavor!

  • **Bottle Background** 🍾
  • **Hive Background** 🐝
  • **Insect egg background** 🥚

These backgrounds represent the traces of monsters spreading outward from the Crimson Palace, with variations for each dungeon type (such as ruins, dens, etc.).

🎲 Appearance mechanism

These new backgrounds will be added to the pool of backgrounds in the original game and the "More Dungeon Background Variants" mod. This brings the total number of backgrounds to a staggering **102** (original 35 + massive additions to this series of mods)!

*The number of available backgrounds per dungeon type ranges from approximately **9 to 23**.

  • Due to the large number, these new backgrounds will be **rare**.
  • The game will pick **completely randomly** from all available backgrounds.

⚙️ Installation and Compatibility

🛡️ **Safe and worry-free**:

  • Safe to install or uninstall** mid-game.
  • It only contains PNG image files and **does not modify** the core files of the game.
  • Therefore, it is compatible with almost all other mods.

⚠️ **ONE EXCEPTION**: If there is a conflict with another mod that adds corridor parts, the game will read the files of the module with a higher **loading order**.

💡 **Suggestion**: To be safe, please install or uninstall in **Town (Hamlet)** instead of in the dungeon. I had no issues with it in testing, but it's always a good practice.

🛠️Mod production and customization

  • This mod uses materials from the original game and the Scarlet Palace DLC, with minor edits in some cases.
  • If you are not satisfied with a certain background, you can **replace or edit** them yourself, because they are just ordinary PNG files.
  • **Note**: Some backgrounds have transparent channels. When editing, you need software that supports transparent PNG, such as Photoshop (requires SuperPNG plug-in) or GIMP.

📂 Installation location

Extract the **4 folders** in the compressed package to the following game directory:

`.../DarkestDungeon/dungeons/`

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
