Download DSMapStudio

The integrated modding studio for FromSoftware games — Map, Param, and Text editors in one tool.

Latest release v1.11.1 · June 2024 · Windows x64

No installer, no account — just extract and run.

DSMapStudio — Map Editor
DSMapStudio Map Editor — 3D viewport editing an Elden Ring map

On the latest Elden Ring patch (1.12+, post–Shadow of the Erdtree)? DSMapStudio v1.11.1 can't read those files. Use Smithbox — the actively maintained fork. For every other game and pre-1.12 Elden Ring, the download above is correct.

What's in the download

The release zip ships both executables — pick at launch based on your GPU.

Install in 5 steps

  1. Download the .zip

    Click a button above to start the DSMapStudio release-asset download immediately. Not the "Source code" zip — that has no .exe.

  2. Extract it

    Extract to a writable folder like C:\Modding\DSMapStudio\. Avoid Program Files.

  3. Install the runtimes

    Install the Visual C++ x64 Redistributable and .NET 7 Desktop Runtime from Microsoft.

  4. Run DSMapStudio.exe

    Launch the full build, or the Low Requirements build if you have no Vulkan GPU.

  5. Create a project

    Point it at your unpacked game directory and start editing maps, params, or text.
