BB Tools v0.6.0

BB Tools v0.6.0

Changes since v0.5.0

• Redesigned interface: compact top navigation replaces the sidebar; section tabs organize Combat, Travel, Camera and Settings. Search is integrated into process, item, lamp, location and preset dropdowns.
• Ignore hits: native hit protection beneath God mode, with presets and original-state restoration. God mode + Ignore hits together are tested and confirmed on Bloodborne PC.
• First-encounter boss revival: optional intro/encounter reset, with the selected mode and original flags recorded in journals. Tested and confirmed on Bloodborne PC. Normal first-visit triggers still apply; individual multi-phase/ending profiles retain their own test status.
• Keep Blood Echoes on death: optional native death-penalty skip, with presets and persistence across loading. Does not refill the balance or prevent spending. Live death/bloodstain checks pending.
• Discord Rich Presence: optional, default on; shows Bloodborne, runtime and elapsed time. Disable in Settings → Preferences. Desktop integration awaits live confirmation.
• Enemy details: live lock-on tracking, retained readings after unlocking, stale snapshots after unloading, HP/stamina, buildup, effects and super-armor state. Corrected authoritative target selection and pointer diagnostics; live UI/protection testing pending.
• Parry practice: setup/restore, manual target survival protection and living-target HP restore. Setup is tested and confirmed; target actions await live tests. Auto-parry and adjustable parry windows remain research tasks.
• Polling improvements: unchanged combat/stamina flags are no longer rewritten every poll; cleared flags and loaded players still reapply selections. This is not a general renderer-crash fix.
• Other fixes: corrected rapid-poison cure mapping and updated icon artwork.

Download

Extract the Windows x64 ZIP and run BBTools.exe. No separate .NET installation is required.
The ZIP contains only BBTools.exe and README.md; SHA256SUMS.txt is a separate release asset.
Bloodborne PC and shadPS4 remain supported for CUSA03173 1.09. New native-PC confirmations do not imply a new shadPS4 test pass.

Validation: 377 isolated checks in Debug and Release, 94 private 1.09 instruction fingerprints and nine release-workflow checks. Unconfirmed features remain tracked in the live test plan.

BB Tools v0.5.0

BB Tools v0.5.0

Bloodborne PC and shadPS4 are officially supported for CUSA03173 1.09.
shadPS4 support is tested and confirmed; no experimental opt-in is required.
Prepared as a draft for review before publication.

Highlights

• Native inventory weapon repair with per-slot before/after reports, threshold auto-repair and keep-full controls. Both-hand live confirmation remains pending.
• Player movement speed, world gravity, flight, HUD visibility and active slow/rapid poison cure.
• Searchable item-name import from your own game files, expanded movement/gravity/HUD presets and connection-bound chalice bookmarks.
• Experimental Micolash, Gehrman and Moon Presence revival profiles.
• Compatibility guide, live test checklist and simplified Nexus description.

Adjustments and limitations

• Noclip and free camera are disabled and hidden. Entity inspection is hidden pending realtime targeted-enemy updates.
• Ending-boss revival can alter story/NG progression. Camera and exploration overrides can cause visual or performance issues. Use a separate practice save.
• Chalice coordinate bookmarks expire across reconnects or dungeon progress/context changes.
• New features retain their individual live-test status in TODO; automated checks do not establish live-game confirmation.

Package

Portable, self-contained Windows x64 ZIP containing only BBTools.exe and README.md.
The SHA-256 checksum is supplied separately. No game files are included.

BB Tools v0.4.0

BB Tools v0.4.0

Native Bloodborne PC CUSA03173 1.09. Implemented additions are tested and confirmed,
except the weapon durability controls described below. Prepared as a draft release.

Added

• Revival/retry for 19 base-game/DLC bosses from any loaded area, with original flag
  journals, reload, entrance placement, health/stamina refill and timer start.
• Experimental equipped-weapon repair, threshold auto-repair and keep-full controls; known issue, see below.
• Expanded presets: FOV, camera distance/height, durability, buildup and saved app/
  hotkey preferences. Independent startup FOV and startup preset opt-ins.
• Preset rename/duplicate/groups, item favorites and catalog search, library JSON
  import/export and consistent SQLite backups.
• Focused function-key hotkeys with selectable modifiers and a loading/death-aware encounter timer.
• Buildup gauge clear/keep-empty controls; active effects are not removed.
• Save backup history and CRC/path-verified restore with retained recovery copies.
• Per-session logs beside the EXE (five newest retained) and redacted diagnostics export.

Testing and scope

The v0.3.0 baseline FOV, presets and process picker retain their confirmations.
Boss revival/retry, expanded/startup presets, hotkeys and the other implemented additions
are tested and confirmed. Details are recorded in the checklist.

Known issue: repair-now, threshold auto-repair and keep-full durability are not
working reliably. Further durability work is deferred to the next development session.
Use the native Workshop repair menu instead.

FOV/camera overrides are unstable and may cause performance drops and visual issues.
Use a separate practice save for boss revival: encounter flag changes can be saved.
Micolash, Gehrman and Moon Presence revival are not enabled. Advanced movement,
free camera, active-effect cures, generated-dungeon coordinate bookmarks and shadPS4
live controls remain unimplemented research, not hidden or placeholder features.

Download BBTools-v0.4.0-win-x64.zip; it contains only BBTools.exe and README.md.
SHA256SUMS.txt is a separate asset. Please report issues and contribute verified code,
UI, documentation, tests and runtime research through GitHub.

BB Tools v0.3.0

BB Tools v0.3.0

Camera customization, reusable practice presets and a process picker for native
Bloodborne PC 1.09 (CUSA03173), including The Old Hunters.

Download BBTools-v0.3.0-win-x64.zip, extract it and run BBTools.exe.
The ZIP contains only the EXE and README; the .NET runtime and SQLite are bundled.
SHA256SUMS.txt is a separate release asset.

Changes

• Live vertical FOV slider from 38 to 120 degrees, with automatic reversible
  in-memory unclamping above 48 degrees. No external patch or game-file edit is
  required. Reset/disconnect restores owned changes and preserves preexisting uncap.
• Save, replace, apply and delete named combat presets, including toggles, health
  refill, stamina and applied damage/Echoes multipliers. Apply explicitly while connected.
• SQLite storage for presets and warp bookmarks, with schema versioning and
  transactional migration of locations.json. The original JSON is retained.
• Search saved warp locations by name or map. Existing same-loaded-map validation applies.
• Show all enumerable processes, rank bb-probe.exe and likely game runtimes first,
  and filter by name, decimal PID or hexadecimal PID. Restricted identities remain
  visible. Connection still requires supported game-image validation.
• Separate Player, Combat, Items, Travel, Camera, Workshop and Settings pages.
• Neutral tested-and-confirmed checklist wording and an expanded prioritized roadmap.

Validation and remaining checks

FOV, saved presets and process selection/filtering are tested and confirmed.
128 automated app checks, six automation checks, installed 1.09 instruction checks
and self-contained package startup/shutdown passed during development. CI repeats
Debug/Release checks before preparing the draft.

Database migration, location search, navigation and additional loading/cleanup edge
cases remain separately pending in the checklist.
Chalice travel and three additional boss entrances retain their pending status.
shadPS4 live controls are not implemented. Review assets before publishing this draft.

BB Tools v0.2.0

BB Tools v0.2.0

Expanded practice controls for native Bloodborne PC (bb-probe.exe),
CUSA03173 game version 1.09, including The Old Hunters.

Download BBTools-v0.2.0-win-x64.zip, extract it, and run BBTools.exe.
The ZIP contains only the executable and README. The .NET runtime is included.
SHA256SUMS.txt is a separate asset for checking the download.

Added

• Infinite consumables and Quicksilver Bullets, retained through loads.
• Player damage and enemy Blood Echoes reward multipliers, 0.1–100x.
• Level-up, fortify, repair, storage, blood gem and Caryll rune menu shortcuts.
• Travel through your six existing chalice altars: choose one of nine named
  seal/layer/heart lamps from Hunter's Dream. Locked lamps are rejected.
• Micolash, Gehrman and Moon Presence entrance presets, bringing the catalog to
  22. The final two share an arena gate and require normal story conditions.
• App emblem and icon, creator footer, GitHub shortcut and manual update checking.
• Automated annotated tags and draft releases after version-bump CI passes.

Multipliers use a private player effect. Set both to 1, turn off practice toggles,
or disconnect normally to restore. Menus retain normal costs and material requirements;
close them normally in the game. Chalice travel starts in Hunter's Dream and requires a completed
ritual and does not unlock lamps. Coordinate bookmarks support fixed maps.
shadPS4 live memory support is not included.

Maintainer review before publishing

Confirmed the damage/Echoes multipliers and workshop menus are working.
Chalice travel and the three new boss entrances remain pending live confirmation.
Complete the remaining v0.2.0 live test checklist,
record results, and review both uploaded assets before publishing.
Synthetic-process and instruction checks do not establish live-game behavior.
