Updated the default custom sound (vine boom) to no longer have a delay at the beginning of the sound
Updated how Posture parries work: Now, players can choose between 3 options: Slowed, Stagger, and Disarm mode. In Slowed mode, the target will become slowed. In Stagger mode, the target will fall backwards. In Disarm mode, the target will let go of their weapon and be stunned for a short duration.
The default Posture parry mode is Disarm
The settings for the slowed and stagger modes for the Posture parry type are lifted from the Slowed parry type and the Stagger parry type

Changed DS1 parries to "Slowed" parry and DS2 parries to "Stagger" parry.

Players can now change the sound effect that plays for a Dark Souls 1 and 2 parry. Options are DS1Parry, DS2Parry, and EldenRingParry (highly recommend using MCM to change this in-game)
Fixed a bug where enemies could move after a Dark Souls 1 parry
Added the option for shield only parries. The only way to proc a parry is if the player is using an item whose type is "Shield." Assuming weapon modders set this type properly, this should work for modded shields as well
Changed the scaling on ds1ParrySlow from 0 - 1 to 0 - 100. In code, this value will be divided by 100, so 10 = 0.1 (default value).
Version 1.5

Description Upon a strong enough parry, enemies will leave themselves vulnerable depending on your version. There are four different versions:
Slowed (DeS, DS1, BB, DS3, DeSR, ER)
Stagger (DS2)
Posture (Sekiro)
Tiered
Slowed Slowed parries take after the most popular form of the parry from games like Demon Souls, Dark Souls 1, Dark Souls 3, Bloodborne, and Elden Ring. In this mode, performing a successful parry causes enemies to become greatly slowed.
Stagger Stagger parries only appear in Dark Souls 2. In this mode, performing a successful parry causes enemies to stagger and fall backwards.
Posture Posture parries take after the Sekiro games. In this mode, multiple, consecutive parries must be pulled off. Once you perform the last parry the enemy can experience one of three effects, depending on what you choose in the menu book: - Slowed : The enemy will become greatly slowed (similar to the Slowed parry type) - Stagger : The enemy will stagger and fall backwards (similar to the Stagger parry type) - Disarm (default): The enemy will release their weapon and be stunned for a brief moment
Tiered Tiered parries are not from any particular game by FromSoftware. In this mode, performing a weaker parry causes the enemy to be slowed as per the Slowed parry mode and performing a stronger parry causes the enemy to be staggered as per the Stagger parry mode.
How to Use Do a parry as you normally would, however, whatever you parry with must be traveling above a minimum velocity before clashing with the enemy's weapon to be considered a FromSoftware parry. To be generous, this velocity is quite low, but it's a skill that takes getting used to. Basically all settings for the mod can be tweaked via the mods tab in the menu book.
Adding your Own SFX In this version of the mod, I've added the ability to use your own custom MP3 sound effect to use when you parry. All you have to do is take the MP3 of your choice and move it into the FromSoftwareParry mod folder. Keep in mind that it only supports one MP3 file at a time, so be sure to move out the default one I've provided. If you move in multiple, which sound it chooses is undefined behavior.
