Use the virtual to control the wind - come and go as freely as the wind, replace dodge with disembodiment

This MOD replaces Grim Dawn's default dodge skill with the medal amplifying skill "Transformation". After the replacement, players will have a powerful teleport ability (Teleport) at the beginning.

【MOD Introduction】

This MOD changes Grim Dawn's default dodge skill (Evade, the sliding dodge added in version 1.2)

[Principle of replacement]

Adopt "Content Replacement":

Keep the original defaultevade.dbr file name and path (the engine hardcoded Evade key points to this path),

Completely replace the file contents with teleport_d212.dbr (Displacement skill raw data).

When a key is triggered, the engine automatically loads new content to realize skill replacement.

The HUD button visual remains in place (still showing the Evade button position), but Displacement's

Round rune icon, press the button to directly trigger teleportation.
