lmao

warped dome
#

Hey Mana is it possible for wkit to affect a mesh during export?

#

Like, I managed to get the eye fix working on my Npv, but a few saves later while working on my Npv, the eye fix i's no longer working. I didn't do anything except export the head mesh to glb to use in blender as refit reference

red reef
#

it shouldn't, no

warped dome
#

Ok upon further investigation, I think I cam across the weirdest, most inconsistent bug ever

#

So yes as you said, the export had no effect on it

#

Simply put, sometimes the eye fix works, sometimes it doesn't

#

I have found no consistent pattern to make it either work or not work consistently

red reef
#

maylin might know more, ping her in #mod-dev-chat?

warped dome
#

I am not even joking btw. I move 2 steps, it works, I move back 2 steps, it doesn't work when I open photomode there. Another time it was working when opening photomode every odd time.
Another it was working every time I open photomode.

I found no consistency whatsoever

#

It makes no sense. The bone data is into the meshes, it can't just not exist half the time

red reef
#

there is an issue with eyes

#

maylin knows more

warped dome
#

I am more consistent hitting a ping pong ball in a cup from 30 meters in one throw than this eye fix thing

nimble basin
#

sadge

warped dome
#

She didn;t know

red reef
#

then rip

warped dome
#

Also for Mana, do you know why an entry with appearance_01 for a spawned npv always picks a randomized outfit instead of appearance 01?

#

this only happens when i name the outfits

red reef
warped dome
#

oh yeah my bad

#

thanks

#

i called it main here instead of 'modern' in root

#

does this line do anything?

#

I thought it would spawn the npv with that appearance, but it seems it just picks random

red reef
#

if the existence doesn't exist, it spawns random

#

show your appearances array

warped dome
red reef
#

ok, that's odd, it should work

#

are you sure that you don't have an older version of the mod somewhere else? are you modifying the rihgt .ent file?

#

this absolutely never happened to me, before you ask

warped dome
#

this is the only ent i have

#

It's old i think

#

Unles you updated your resources?

#

I honestly don't know from where i fetched this ent file

red reef
#

no, that should be fine

#

also, maybe this is a good opportunity to use file validation

warped dome
#

ok

#

It's complaining about a lot of things madman

red reef
#

well, get fixing! ๐Ÿ˜„

warped dome
#

There's a bunch of these, but I don't know what it wants? The appearances work on unmodded game

#

there is a massive spam of these, I assume it's complaining because the mesh doesn't exist (it doesn't)

#

but there is nothing said about the ent

#

I will redownload your resources

#

And use your latest ent

red reef
warped dome
#

I just noticed something, when I spawn the NPV, for a fraction of a second the first appeareance is visibile, but then in randomizes

red reef
#

that's... really odd.

#

it should not do that.

warped dome
#

your ent is much different than mine, i have 0 resolvedDependencies, yours have 59, and you also have more components

red reef
#

ok, then you maybe have a prop ent or so

#

or it got corrupted, or... is form some ancient preset, or whateverest ๐Ÿ‘€

warped dome
#

yeah the components you have in your ent are totally different

#

mine is ancient i guess

red reef
#

probably. A miracle that WKit can resolve it at all ๐Ÿ˜‚

warped dome
#

She still spawns with random appearance, and I changed to your new ent, then i changed the default "random" you put there with another one, and I see it spawning with it for a fraction of a second before randomizing

red reef
#

do you have any script mods fucking with that?

warped dome
#

none, im just a photomode loser with clothes mods only

red reef
#

everything up-to-date? amm, codeware? HideThePain

warped dome
#

that no, haven't updated to latest micro update

#

razer mouse fix

red reef
#

try...?

warped dome
#

Well I guess

#

she runs like a helpless npc when combat starts

#

I guess my lua is also kaputt

red reef
#

do you have another version of the archive somewhere, or..? I don't understand this ๐Ÿ˜‚

warped dome
#

i don't

#

ah whatever, she is just for photomode

#

I ain't a cool script modder

#

Just some sad appearance one

red reef
#

I dabbled in script modding the other day

#

it hurt

warped dome
#

One day maybe we will be as cool as Psiberx

red reef
#

I have 20 years of experience in the field, and I don't think I'll ever be as cool as psiberx ๐Ÿ˜‚

warped dome
#

But the eye fix inconsistency is the wildest thing ive ever seen

#

the only consistent thing that is consistent is that it works in some areas while in some areas it doesnt

#

waht is even the correlation damn madman

#

oh there's a whole ass minecraft beacon in dlc area

#

damn

#

I still havent played

nimble basin
#

Same

nimble basin
#

I GOT MODDERITIS

#

It's very fun

#

u_u

#

What have you been up to with modding Mana?

red reef
nimble basin
#

Damn that's awesome!

red reef
#

thanks ๐Ÿ˜„

#

really happy with that picture, too

#

it was such a PITA to get the weapons on their backs...

nimble basin
#

You had to drop them and move them around from there right? I feel your pain

#

And the pic is verigud

red reef
#

yeah, they're props ๐Ÿ˜‚

nimble basin
#

So painful lmao, esp working with two

#

I wonder why you can't reselect them after changing targets

#

I kinda wanna figure out who I need to beg for better weapon options in AMM, I'd really like to be able to do that easily as well as customize the things npcs carry

red reef
nimble basin
#

Hmm, even down to things like specific attachments? I've embraced the lazy tho, and was thinking about was an expansion of the "take my gun" feature that's there

red reef
#

Not entirely sure. Probably?

nimble basin
#

I will investigate

nimble basin
#

Everytime I wanna uninstall this game, I remember my bad photos

red reef
#

"bad"

nimble basin
#

u_u

red reef
nimble basin
#

0.0

nimble basin
#

It has been acquired, I'm sure I'll put these to use

red reef
#

you can also just change the textures to whatever you want them to be

nimble basin
#

For suuuure

#

I have a question for ya'll npv experts

#

Am I correct in my understanding of NPVs that the only thing that goes into Blender is the head?

red reef
#

yeah

nimble basin
#

So if I wanted to rip an entire player V incl their outfit into Blender, that's a whole 'nother animal ?

red reef
nimble basin
#

Hmmmm

nimble basin
#

Okay, I think I'm understanding

red reef
#

yeah, pretty much

nimble basin
#

Thank you cat_pray

warped dome
#

sus

nimble basin
#

What's sus? I just want to export head

#

Share it with the world

nimble basin
#

I might not even stop there, maybe I can make it a business

#

I'll call it

#

HaaS

nimble basin
#

Not quite what I had in mind, but I can work with it

nimble basin
warped dome
#

I audibly laughed at this

nimble basin
#

Good, good

red reef
warped dome
#

Hey Mana, do you know what this component does? its in wkit npv tutorial

red reef
#

IDK - presumably it's involved in facial animations

warped dome
#

i see, thanks

#

i neve used it, and it didn't seem to affect anything

red reef
#

IDK, all NPCs have one

#

if you just nuke it, presumably something will break

warped dome
#

Well damn

digital oak
#

Isnโ€™t this Johnnyโ€™s vest?

digital oak
#

I stopped using it a while ago KEKW

#

It might be involved with some clothing components

warped dome
#

Nope it's dlc vest

red reef
#

Really?

#

because all NPCs have it ๐Ÿ˜„

nimble basin
#

lmao

#

I wonder if they had it in the game already but just added it for the player when PL dropped

#

lazy: 100

nimble basin
#

@red reef If you have the time, would you mind helping me through a few issues I'm having with custom NPCs?

red reef
#

not at alll

nimble basin
#

Okay, the things that are kinda killing me to death are hair and exporting materials to Blender. For hair, wkit keeps saying in one way or another that it can't find associated files, even though I thought I pathed everything correctly. For materials, mostly everything shows in game fine, but in Blender just about every modded item I export is a mess (or has no materials at all)

red reef
#

the warnings might be false positives

#

they shouldn't, but I can't rule it out. If it works in-game, then that's fine

#

it needs relative paths, not absolute ones

nimble basin
#

Oh whoops

#

Now I know why that one is invisible lmao

red reef
#

and the last oen complains about you trying to use an appearance "default" that doesn't exist in the mesh

nimble basin
#

Hmmmm

#

I do have one appearance that's default, but in the other I put a name from the hair mesh's appearance section into meshAppearance

#

It didn't seem to change anything, but I'm trying again now with a more noticeable color

nimble basin
#

Ahhhh, I see what you mean now

red reef
nimble basin
#

I'm still a little baffled by this hair, I thought that error was the cause of me not being able to change its color

red reef
#

you need to pick one of the appearances from the mesh

nimble basin
#

Am I doing it in the wrong way? I just kept the original component and replaced the mesh/meshAppearance with what I wanted. I get the hair, but it's just black no matter what

red reef
#

Oily-slick black?

nimble basin
red reef
#

what's the topmost material in the mesh's material entry?

nimble basin
red reef
#

err, "appearances"; sorry

nimble basin
#

No worriess

red reef
#

OK, this is odd - because that looks like black_liquorice to me

nimble basin
#

Yes yes

#

I think I'm getting warmer though, and maybe I should have started learning about hair with vanilla ones first lmao

#

"How hard can it be"

red reef
nimble basin
#

That's a very generous angle for me

#

I was looking into the mi and saw that it was referencing hp files, had no idea what those were, but when I was exporting for Blender wkit was throwing a fit about them being missing

#

I added and properly pathed those to where wkit is cool exporting them, but pink_magenta is still very slicky oily blacc

#

finally

#

I CAN SLEEP

#

Thanks for the assistance u_u

red reef
#

sleep well ๐Ÿ˜„

nimble basin
#

tytytytytytyttyty

warped dome
#

Hey Mana, what could be the cause of instant crash when equipping an item

#

I have all variants working except one that keeps crashing on equip

#

Ah wait I think I figured out madbleb

red reef
#

Was it a non-existing mesh? ๐Ÿ˜„

warped dome
#

yeah i missed an entry in material buffer and i didnt see it was missing

#

i didnt separate stitches this time so the buffer is a bit more messy

red reef
#

Use file validation

warped dome
red reef
#

you would have the whole console full of warnings about invalid material assignments

#

Or you keep ignoring it and waste time on debugging I guess

warped dome
#

It was just 1 issue

warped dome
#

Darn, new blender addon got rid of that weird purple and green tints of black colors, but now it doesn't import my camo textures SCGwhy

#

i sort of fixed, i put it to go straight into here, previously it was going on the red line

nimble basin
#

vgud

nimble basin
#

When I first started messing with this a month ago I didn't realize you could select linked vertices, so I was trying to clean the model up by deleting them individually

red reef
#

Jesus Christ on a stick

nimble basin
red reef
#

this is something for the "Blender stuff I wish I would have known before I started" wiki page

nimble basin
#

This is what happens when you don't make donut

red reef
#

yeah, well, I didn't know it either

#

I just did ctrl numpad+ and held it for hours like a gonk ๐Ÿ˜‚

nimble basin
#

I opened it up again just to see how fast I could do what I wanted the first time and I'm almost done after about an hour

#

Wot does that do

#

I have a 60% keyboard

#

lmao

red reef
#

"select more"

nimble basin
#

Need to NOT

nimble basin
#

vertex by

#

vertex

nimble basin
#

I think that's where I learned I could select faces

#

What I remember most vividly was trying to do that on this

#

to get the dood the unhand the minigun

#

i am not a clever man

#

But I am more cleverer than I was before, I might release this today

#

I wanna come back through and spruce both of my heli models up, do them properly with 2077 materials, and I will eventually

red reef
#

Do ittttt

nimble basin
#

u_u

#

Ya'll up to anything interesting?

red reef
#

I'm.. procrastinating on several fronts

#

Which means that I was actually productive, by accident

nimble basin
#

Tell me moar

warped dome
#

I have found new student

nimble basin
#

verigud verigud

warped dome
#

So I can actually do more mods now by splitting work

red reef
nimble basin
red reef
#

It's the list of pending code changes for Wolvenkit

#

As in: I

  • fixed the entity preview for ArchiveXL dynamic variants
  • fixed the "copy absolute path to raw folder" not working properly
  • and made a better edit box for depot paths (that one even has a video of the result in action)
warped dome
#

the mesh entity preview?

#

like the thing you see in wkit

nimble basin
#

that text truncating thing looks godly

#

I only have one screen so

#

lmao

#

its suffering

warped dome
#

i have one screen too

red reef
red reef
#

if you paste something into the field and then select another node

#

you have to press any other key first

nimble basin
#

rip

rigid timber
#

Bleh

nimble basin
#

bless your heart

warped dome
#

what you making

rigid timber
#

Some Scav tracksuit pants and that little computer arm thingy

#

Might have to go into blender to get garment support working on it. Changing stuff in the .ent did nothing

nimble basin
#

tragic

warped dome
#

i dont even know garment support

#

im making that vest i said i will

#

its practically done

#

going to release next weekend

rigid timber
#

Can we get a sneak peak

red reef
#

I can teach you the garment support though :3

nimble basin
#

very sick

rigid timber
red reef
#

I have understood it enough to use it and write wiki guides on it, which is sufficient

warped dome
warped dome
#

It's already available for player

rigid timber
#

speaking of garment support I think I've gotten it to look as good as vanilla at least. What do you guys think?

red reef
#

yeah!

warped dome
#

It's Reed vest

nimble basin
#

Looks decent to me

rigid timber
#

thanks! for some reason these pants don't seem to confrom as well as others to the holster straps

#

theres another nice vest from the DLC that's player available but I think it looks much better with a bunch of the submeshes disabled. Really makes it more streamlined and realistic

nimble basin
#

Yeeee, I kinda like that groin plate though

#

But it prob should be a bit bigger

#

side ones def no

rigid timber
#

would be easy to do a version with it and a version with both

nimble basin
#

True

rigid timber
nimble basin
#

That's what I'm talkin' bout

rigid timber
#

I can throw together one for you

nimble basin
#

Oh no no, I was just voicing my opinion about it

#

I appreciate it tho

warped dome
#

U wanna me do this?

nimble basin
#

I mean

#

If you're asking for ideas, my vote would be for the low poly shirt

red reef
#

you don't wanna get shot there, right? ๐Ÿ˜„

nimble basin
#
warped dome
#

It's too big

#

Really

nimble basin
#

lmfaoo

warped dome
#

700k polygons and it's already hitting the limit on path tracing

nimble basin
#

chad shirt

#

to go with your chad goggles

nimble basin
red reef
#

same though

rigid timber
#

Personally the only vest Iโ€™m ever going to use is the AVS probably

#

But just as far as vanilla tactical vests goes I see that one I sent as the next likely candidate for a mod

warped dome
#

You wanna do it?

nimble basin
#

I will support whoever does so

#

Emotionally

warped dome
#

I mean it's vanilla asset you can just do it regardless

#

I have my own set of colors, you have your own

#

I will maybe do more accessories after this vest though

#

I have a bunch more meshes I ripped

nimble basin
#

sheeeeee

warped dome
#

But we shall see

rigid timber
#

Thereโ€™s someone I know whoโ€™s already working on a pretty extensive mod of that vest actually

warped dome
#

Oh, what's the progress.

rigid timber
#

Same author as this mod and the trauma team one

#

He has some progress pics on one of the mod pages

warped dome
#

I don't see anywhere

#

Well anyway as I said, vanilla assets, everyone can just do them however they want, there's like 10 variations of alts clothes on nexus

red reef
#

yeah ๐Ÿ˜„

nimble basin
#

I don't think the creators intended for the doors to be ripped off, but it's happening

#

filling in the holes kinda messed up the texture, but that's a problem for later me

red reef
warped dome
#

Man is doing a whole ass Black Hawk

#

AH 64D when

nimble basin
#

If you have a good model I'll do the work

#

Even though I really need to update these first brah

warped dome
#

What's up with this one

nimble basin
#

For these I need to figure out how to get cyberpunk textures on them then make a few color variants after that. Next is creating variants out of the moving parts, open/closed doors, spinning rotor blades, etc.

warped dome
#

But why didnt you start with the in-game helicopter

nimble basin
#

huge stretch, but I've seen someone working on an av mod, maybe it could work with these too

warped dome
#

You know the one on Johnny memory?

nimble basin
#

I was too dumb at the time

warped dome
#

With rogue

nimble basin
#

The Valgus?

#

or however it's spelled

warped dome
#

That heli has gearr down position

nimble basin
#

yeyeye

#

I'll rip that apart for sure

warped dome
#

Like that one would be good one to start before doing ported models

nimble basin
#

Initially I wanted to just mod that to have open doors, since none of the animated variants with interiors have open doors, but I thought adding props would be easier

#

I can probably wrap my head around that a little better now

warped dome
#

Well just make the whole thing into a prop

nimble basin
#

I think it might already be come to think of it

warped dome
red reef
#

ohhhhh, wow

warped dome
nimble basin
#

that's drip

nimble basin
#

Hmmm

#

Am I missing something when it comes to garment support and custom npcs? My understanding is that all you need is the prefix to be maintained in the meshcomponent name for it to work, but I'm having conflicts between vanilla items (that work fine on me)

red reef
#

they also need to be entGarmentSkinnedMeshComponents

warped dome
#

ah so that's why it wasnt working for me

red reef
#

and unique IDs

#

yeahh..

warped dome
#

whataves, i did it the hard way and refitted in blender

nimble basin
#

hmmm

#

I copied the components I wanted directly from the apps to try and prevent any self-sabotage, they're all in the entgarmentskinnedmeshcomponent thing but what's this about unique ids?

red reef
#

oh, then they will be unique

#

the "id" property has to not-duplicate, or there'll be glitching string cheese.

nimble basin
#

Oh I'm not having any of that, just clipping

#

It's this top and bottom

#

Looks fine there, but then

red reef
#

it might be that the items don't support garment support

#

dunno

nimble basin
#

Ah, so they can support it on players but not npcs?

red reef
#

no, no. If it has one on player, it'll have one on NPC

nimble basin
#

Do I need to use a particular body base for stuff to play nice?

#

idk what else it could be, all of that stuff works on me correctly

red reef
#

shouldn't matter at all

#

oh

#

tags

#

there might have been tags in the mesh entity

nimble basin
#

we do be having a nudity tag here

#

Oh, in the mesh ent

rigid timber
#

@nimble basin is it the pants or the shirt your working on?

nimble basin
#

now that I look at it it seems like nothing has it lmao, even the vest clips

#

It's not even the biggest deal for this, but I was just curious

#

I'll mess around with it some more lmao

rigid timber
#

Thatโ€™s weird I have no idea

nimble basin
#

It's all good, I appreciate all of ya'll tryin'

warped dome
#

So Mana, I want to learn garment support SadMan
I have bodysuit, I have pants, I want to make the suit go under the pants

warped dome
#

I'm guesing suit goes in blender

#

I'm looking at this rn

red reef
#

yeah

warped dome
#

so this, i create myself on the bodysuit

red reef
#

yeah

#

you can pretty much ignore the lower half and the painting, that's usually optional

#

only need to do that if the suit shrinks too far

warped dome
#

Right, I made the parameters, now the guide says about paint, I'm supposed to ignore that?

#

Black is heavy deform, I switched to Vertex paint, the whole suit is black

red reef
#

yeah

#

just make sure that it has garment support from your shrinky shapekey, and try it out

warped dome
#

I'm going to follow this one

red reef
#

yes

warped dome
#

Alright, I do believe I've done the blender side correctly, I now have the bodysuit mesh with 2 parameters in wkit that werent there before

#

now back to the other guide for the wkit side i think

#

ok so from my undestanding, this is score table i have available. As in, this is the layering. like, a score of 100 is getting squished by score of 120

#

for dynamic appearance mod, i assume i add this prefix inside the mesh.ent file

red reef
#

yea

#

just make it t1

#

if that doesn't help with the squishing yet, add the tag Tight

warped dome
#

alright, what about the pants now that go over them, I just add a prefix to them that has higher score than t1?

#

nothing to do in blender?

#

Well, it doesn't seem to have acomplished anything hhsdgafkekbutHD

#

at least nothing is violently exploding either

#

It appears my mistake has something to do with the pants

#

As the garment support on the suit is functional, i can see it being agressively pushed by vanilla pants

#

by how do i activate it on modded pants

red reef
#

the pants need to have a prefix, too

#

they should be l1, probably, and maybe "wide" or so?

warped dome
#

If I have multiple components inside ent, should all have the same prefix or just one of them

red reef
#

all of them

#

or, I mean, depending on what you want to shrink

warped dome
#

The pants ent file has the stitches and pants separated into 2 components. I add l1 prefix to both and put wide instead of normal in visual tags

warped dome
#

aha

#

so the trick

#

Was to do the blender garment suport on the pants too

#

but i didnt apply any shrinkwrap thingy on them

#

just blank garment support

#

now the garment suport is a wee bit aggressive

#

how do i alleviate this, the painting thing or can i just apply bigger offset on the shrinky thing

red reef
#

the painting thing

#

or, yeah, I guess bigger offset will also do it

warped dome
#

one more question

#

do i paint on _GarmentSupportWeight

#

or Color

red reef
#

that's the first guide you had

#

cap for shrinkage prevention

Aight

nimble basin
#

the straw is gonna fall out

warped dome
#

It's a knife brother

nimble basin
#

why sipp when you can

warped dome
#

Can you imagine, I played the game for like 20 minutes then got pissed cuz an item was clipping so I decided to spend 3 hours to learn garment support to fix it

#

Just modding things

warped dome
#

I do have to say though, while I somewhat learned to apply GS, i dont know how to tweak it properly

#

the red paint doesnt seem to do anything, this is the best i could get it to look with offset margin

nimble basin
warped dome
red reef
warped dome
#

at this part

#

Which format is it then

red reef
#

I'm trusting the wiki

warped dome
#

Idk what I did wrong, I followed the wiki guide down to each word

#

The weight is red, the cap and col is black

#

Do I need to paint red the cap around the waist?

#

On the bodysuit?

#

Or on the pants

red reef
#

the red should be on the cap to prevent shrinking past a certain point?

#

Like, half-red or so

#

and, not sure on which item, probably the bodysuit

warped dome
#

well this what i try now

#

Well that didn't do a single thing

red reef
#

do they need to have the _ at the beginning?

warped dome
#

I will try without

red reef
#

that was me being not certain. I updated that not long ago, I made sure to copy that...

warped dome
#

those 3 color atributes don't seem to be doing a thing in my game

#

i messed around with them, now i delete them and see if that mkaes the mesh explode or not

red reef
#

that's weird

#

for me it worked the other day HideThePain

#

maybe ask in #textures-and-models

warped dome
#

does the body mesh also need to shrink with the clothing item?

red reef
#

it should do that already

warped dome
#

it doesn't

#

i have modded body

red reef
#

ah, well

nimble basin
#

why is garment support so cursed

warped dome
#

what do i do to fix it

#

although still

#

even if the body doesnt shrink, the paint in my game aint doing anything either, i should see something at least

#

ok you know what

#

the game wants it the hard way

#

so be it

#

i will simply disable the body meshes while wearing the bodysuit

nimble basin
#

NO PANTS

#

oh

warped dome
nimble basin
#

missed one colon in my yaml

warped dome
nimble basin
red reef
#

no armature?

nimble basin
#

Did I copy the wrong component or something? idk why npc clothing is giving me so many issues

#

All I'm doing is lifting components and putting them where I want 'em

#

This app in particular has stuff that works garment support (like that holster), but when I put my stuff in it goes kaput

red reef
#

you can try setting the parent, uh, rootTransform or bind or whatsitcalled from Component to Root

nimble basin
#

I'm not sure I understand

red reef
#

try setting these two to root

nimble basin
#

Hmmm, it's still floating

red reef
#

hmmm, make sure that the rig is correct? That it's parented? IDK

warped dome
#

you didnt export armature in blender

nimble basin
#

I'm just moving the components from their app to my npc, I need to make modifications in blender to do that?

red reef
#

you shouldn't have to, no

nimble basin
#

I'm not modding the files at all, except sometimes changing the uh

#

meshAppearance (which I haven't doen for this)

#

Is this what you meant by making sure the rig is correct?

#

Maybe I should try a diff app or something, this one is weird af

red reef
#

why not?

nimble basin
#

It's for wa, but the models use male heads and animations. Unless that's normal for 2077 and I just don't know it lmfao

red reef
#

that's normal

nimble basin
#

I think I am beginning to understand why people commission these

#

so weird

#

I ported it over the same way I did for this vest:

#

okay I got it

red reef
#

nice, what was it?

nimble basin
#

root was the fix, it didn't work initially because I used Root (I assumed it was capitalized because Component was)

#

And also that's in the wiki, so shame on me cat_pray but thank ya'll

red reef
#

ahh

#

nope ๐Ÿ˜„

warped dome
warped dome
#

Hey Mana, do you know if the old clothing buffs arre still left in game code somewhere? (and usable for modded clothes)

#

or is there a TweakXL expert that would know this

red reef
#

Apart

warped dome
#

Where can i bother him, here or chanel or in dm

red reef
#

in #tweakdb, but you might wanna use the search first

warped dome
#

Aight

warped dome
#

Is it possible to edit the .yaml file [?] to increase the armour level? A vest this great-looking should be 40-50 at least

#

Is this possible?

#

It would mean editing something else, since right now just putting buff "presets"

red reef
#

You can probably just add a modiffier?

warped dome
#

Is there wiki for this stuff?

red reef
#

?tweaks

twin wingBOT
warped dome
#

Thanks, I'll read

#

Also i used file validation because axl was crashing on equip

#

and it said this

#

am i dumb or something, all i did was name the mesh _w at the end

#

and put _{gender} in path

#

it works if the path is with _w

red reef
#

does the part start with *?

warped dome
#

Thanks

red reef
#

File validation should have checked that... HideThePain

warped dome
#

It just said .mesh not found, not what's missing

red reef
#

I'll try checking it later

warped dome
#

Looks I gotta dip my fingers into the TweakDB for the first time

#

Never been here madman

red reef
#

It doesn't hurt much

warped dome
warped dome
#

based wiki

red reef
#

one tries

warped dome
#

So, according to wiki, the TweakDB is basically the whole tweaks folder inside tools

#

So if i want something, i need to grab it from there?

#

I'm browsing that folder looking for clothing stats, don't even know how they would be called

red reef
#

that folder is the tweakDB made human-readable

#

You're going to want Fuzzo's tool, probably

warped dome
#

What is Fuzzo's tool

#

Also, the cheat sheet on wiki has these

red reef
#

Hmmm, is that not linked here?

warped dome
#

Useful for me or nah

red reef
#

absolutely useful!

#

You can maybe just set ArmorMultBonus higher

#

Or EffectivenessMultiplier

warped dome
#

these?

#

you think this would work? (im loading in anyway)

#

Clearly it doesn't because the items do not spawn at all hhsdgafkekbutHD

#

I will fuck around and try to find out

red reef
#

you need to define something first, you can't append it inline

warped dome
#

Ok, get a load of this

#

Something works

#

because i have a slight armor buff

#

I'm not sure why this is happening

#

I think this stat is multiplying the entire armor value I have, not the one from the vest

warped dome
#

But in clothing case, isn't the $base what's defining the item?

red reef
#

whatever the record is

warped dome
#

Btw, this last one works

#

I get +75 armor (+25 from the base and tags and +50 from the modifier)

#

Ok then, the actual stat works, but what about modifying this thing

#

what is this even SadMan

#

Maybe that CET TweakDB browser can help me

#

Oof, im actually clueless on this one

red reef
#

@steep plinth knows

warped dome
#

I was about to ask in tweakdb-modding, I'll wait a bit then SCpray

red reef
#

Search function might know too

#

Or check my Dante sword, they went and overhauled it a lot

warped dome
#

Devil sword vergil?

red reef
#

yeah

nimble basin
#

Oh my goodness

#

The solution to my weapon prop issues was installed from day 1 and I didn't even know it

warped dome
#

wdym

#

also imma ask in the tweakdb channel

nimble basin
#

Unless I'm missing something, there's not really a great way to position weapons outside of dropping them and moving them, which is extraordinarily painful

#

(for guns)

red reef
#

but you can just... equip them?

warped dome
#

you mean have guns in poses?

red reef
#

yeah?

nimble basin
#

Yeah, I'm still trying to work with assault rifles specifically and they're quite fussy with photomode v. And even if they did work, there are still some cases where I'd like the rifle to appear slung, or doing something else

red reef
#

maybe you can do that if you weight them to a different bone than weapon

#

not sure though, would require experimentation

nimble basin
#

I tried moving the weapon bone around, but it seems to act weird if it gets too far from the hand

warped dome
#

what are you trying to do

#

I've done poses with weapons in blender

nimble basin
#

like for stuff like this

red reef
#

don't rig it to the weapon

#

just rig it to, IDK, hips

nimble basin
#

That's what I did for this pose initially, I rigged the weap bone to my spine brah

#

If i'm understanding you correctly

#

It looks like this:

#

which could also be a skill issue since I've only tried a couple of times

red reef
#

hmmm

#

maybe try rigging it to root? Thonk

nimble basin
#

huge brain

#

I'll try that

red reef
nimble basin
#

Even so, sometimes I don't wanna make a whole anim to stick a gun on someone's back or chest tho

red reef
#

fair

nimble basin
#

It seems like Object Spawner has some things I want, I'm not sure exactly how it works but I think it pulls from ents

#

I need to mess with it some more, but the fact that is has one intact rifle with a magazine in it is enough for me lmao

warped dome
#

I am actually still confused what you try to do

#

You want a weapon to spawn with the pose in a certain position?

nimble basin
#

That too, but mainly I was talking about the ability to spawn a specific weapon into the world that you can adjust with ease

red reef
#

AMM use case, totally. Might just have to do a better weapon prop mod with all the appearancdes and parts

nimble basin
#

Purrrrhaps

#

Object Spawner might have a better way of going about this though, unless I'm glazing over some AMM functionality. With OS you can spawn the parts of a weapon, put them together, and have them move as a single object

red reef
#

AMM can't do that, but you can spawn them relative to each other

#

first spawn the gun and position it, then save that one's position...

nimble basin
warped dome
#

You basically import the weapon in blender , do the pose with it and export as usual, idk what the setting is in wkit or yaml to make it spawn with the weapon you have equipped but essentially it's going to work the same as the vanilla gun poses

nimble basin
#

Oh yeah I can do that

#

But some weaon types don't work with that

#

(for player v)

warped dome
#

Well I ain't pose modder

red reef
#

yet

warped dome
#

You can ask Elfjpeg, she does lots of poses with props

warped dome
#

But I wanted to say

#

That I really doubt I do poses

nimble basin
#

They've been really fun for me tbh

#

esp with the ik thing xbae has

#

Well, really fun except trying to figure out how to use certain gun props with them

warped dome
#

If there any modding I'd want to learn, that'd be some tweak and script modding

#

You know the cool af most based modding

nimble basin
#

thermal upgrade for the nvgs

with vtk feet support (finally)

warped dome

That's thermals for you

warped dome
#

oh yeah lol i forrgot about this

#

even easier

nimble basin
#

And you'd do that all through scripting?

warped dome
#

i have no idea, probably

nimble basin
#

could be neat

warped dome
#

I'm just a sad appearance modder man

#

Basic level modding

warped dome
#

Entry level

#

Beginner

#

I just recolor some vanilla assets

#

And make fancy modpages, literally no cool script modding

nimble basin
#

ur cool enough already

warped dome
#

I'm 0 cool

nimble basin
#

WRONG

warped dome
#

CORRECT

#

One day I will be a cool script modder

#

One day

nimble basin
#

I'm looking forward to it

#

Just like I'm looking forward to having more than one mod on my mod page

warped dome
nimble basin
#

Maybe I can do some poses as another interim project before my weapon

warped dome
#

Believe in yourself

#

Become script modder LewdGasm

#

Release Cyberpunk 2

nimble basin
#

with support for vtk feet

warped dome
#

Why stop at vtk feet, make support for ktv feet LewdGasm

nimble basin
#

If I wanted to do anything with scripts tho, it'd be to figure out how to make stuff fly

#

for my chopper props

warped dome
#

We all want our AH 64 D Longbow

nimble basin
#

true, true

warped dome
#

Or perhaps an AH1W with Zuni dumb rockets

nimble basin
#

I was thinking more along the lines of dildo hellfires

warped dome
nimble basin
#

kinetic only

#

no explosive

#

very precise

warped dome
#

You know kinetic hellfires do exist

nimble basin
#

๐Ÿคท

red reef
#

you're tacticool already

nimble basin
#

See? If mana thinks your cool then you're def cool

warped dome
#

She was talking to you

nimble basin
#

nou

#

wait

#

Is it possible to rip models from war thunder?

red reef
#

I bet

#

ninjaripper if nothing else

nimble basin
#

oop

#

Ninjaripper seems a lil intrusive from my cursory peepin tho

#

Not trying to get vac'd over my modding exploits lmao

red reef
#

they can't prove anything

nimble basin
#

I just saw a little about it injecting dlls and whatnot, but maybe the work's already done for me somewhere

warped dome
#

Hey Mana, there were new updates to core mods, are these useful for us in any way? I'm struggling to understand the patch notes

red reef
#

I need to document it. but it's great

warped dome
#

Welll if you say its great then it can't wait to learn

red reef
warped dome
#

Mana I am failing super hard madman
What am I doing wrong here, aren't these supposed to go here like this? Ingame what happens is that i can see the item in the shop and/or "add" it via code. The notification of adding it appears but nothing exists SadMan

red reef
#

check the tweakXL log?

warped dome
#

Someone needs to have a bit patience and teach me tweakxl modding from nothing, i don't think I'm getting anywhere on my own

red reef
#

this doesn't seem to exist

#

you need to set the base to an existing game item

nimble basin
#

the wiki made this so painless

#

I tried to size it accurately too, so it fits with other gear

red reef
nimble basin
warped dome
nimble basin
#

was also thinking of a mask up variant, I may have to do this without the straps at first because it's exceeding my skill level lmao

warped dome
#

no one, even irl would wear it like this

#

you can't

#

it's just going to fall off you head

nimble basin
#

Yeah you'd probably want to stow it before fighting, but it still looks cool lmao

#

I also wanted to make a pose that looks like the character is taking it off

nimble basin
#

first time axlifying clothing

#

i wish it would texture itself, I wanna use it already lmao

#

I need to do that and fix the hard parts deforming

red reef
#

๐Ÿ˜‚

nimble basin
#

lmao

warped dome
#

If this would've also reduced appearances down to 1 somehow, it would've been incredible

#

But im not complaining

#

I am switching to this immediately

nimble basin
#

Is there no reason to use the old system with this?

#

ok

#

lmao

red reef
warped dome
#

This is just a straight up upgrade

nimble basin
#

I DONT

#

I DO NOT LIKE IT

warped dome
#

Like there is nothing you need from the previous way

#

This is just better

#

Like 10 < 20 better

nimble basin
#

I knew I was procrastinating for a reason

red reef
#

I switched to using .mi files for this

#

But this is absolutely better ๐Ÿ˜„

nimble basin
#

beautiful

warped dome
#

Any more breakthroughs upcoming? hhsdgafkekbutHD

#

I think I asked you once about this and you said it's not possible, the json file can't get the same dynamic treatment?

red reef
#

yeah, app and ent merging

warped dome
#

dAMN

warped dome
#

I'm guessing the ent stays

red reef
#

You don't have to overwrite NPC files anymore

#

you can merge into them

#

replace stuff, even

warped dome
#

@nimble basin Wanna commission me for something? madman

#

Check what i found

#

If you buy me this I'll port it rainblush

#

With garment support and shit

#

So pants get tucked in

warped dome
#

Hey Mana, is this needed anymore in modern AXL or I can just yeet it?

red reef
#

that can go

warped dome
#

Got it, ty BlobCatHeart

nimble basin
warped dome
warped dome
#

The thing is not bad

nimble basin
#

It looks like it's so cheap because they have a V2 out, but it looks good to my noobie eyes

warped dome
#

But it's like, quite low poly

nimble basin
#

esp those PVS-31s

#

Ah

warped dome
#

Mixed UV unwrapping apparently too

#

But the other problem, this is one massive kit

nimble basin
#

What does that mean exactly?

warped dome
#

I can't port all of it in a timely matter

nimble basin
#

Oh that's okay, I was just trying to be cost efficient

warped dome
#

I just prefer smaller, higher quality meshes

nimble basin
#

If you liked something from that or another similar thing, I'd rather spend 20 or 30 on a set vs 1 item. But if you say it's a good price for those boots I'll consider them

warped dome
#

Well, do you like those boots?

nimble basin
#

They're good looking, but I see other models that look very similar which makes me suspicious brah

warped dome
nimble basin
#

Alright

warped dome
#

Looks almost the same, but it says mixed UVs and the poly count is doubled

nimble basin
#

What's the problem with mixed uvs? I'm noob

#

Is that the overlapping thing we hate?

warped dome
#

I'm also not sure what they mean by mixed, could be anything, it could mean the UV's are not unwrapped, or some are ovelapping

#

The more expensive one has a picture of the UV

#

And it's like, an "adjustable" low polygon

#

starts at 40k and i can push it up to 300k by the looks of it

nimble basin
#

Hmm interesting

warped dome
#

You can see on images there, they actually show you

#

the subdivision modifier

nimble basin
#

I see whatcha talkin' about

warped dome
#

And about your full kit

#

You do get more meshes, but you also kinda pay for stuff you won't use like rigs and perhaps textures if you're going mlsetups

nimble basin
#

True, true

warped dome
#

theres lots of good stuff on cgtrader

#

even better than daz

nimble basin
#

Hmm hmm

#

When does the sale end? I was thinking maybe we could look around a bit more today before pulling the trigger

warped dome
#

I have no idea

#

yah you can look around

#

But this boots, assuming you get everything thats said in description, is just excellent for porting

nimble basin
#

Alright alright

warped dome
#

good starting polycount, subdivision ready, the model looks very good, UV unwrapped and you dont pay for textures

#

but lets look around

#

i did actually look on other sites

#

but i couldnt find something similar in quality

#

but the first ones look more agressive to me

nimble basin
#

Yeah I agree, the 1st ones go harder

warped dome
#

And the licence is royalty free

#

so we're like double good on these

nimble basin
#

sheee

warped dome
#

you can also browse on ArtStation

#

Stuff there is cheaper, but it has less info

#

Bit of a gamble what you buy there hhsdgafkekbutHD

nimble basin
#

Not with me, I'll make a phone call brah

warped dome
#

this author has all kind of stuff

nimble basin
warped dome
#

take a look

warped dome
nimble basin
#

Those are real too

warped dome
#

but the problem

nimble basin
#

How hard is it to make them?

warped dome
#

someone with experience can probably do it with relative ease i suppose

#

but i've never done this

nimble basin
#

Hmmm

#

that is a nice price as well

#

unless that 12 dollar version is necessary

warped dome
#

Well... yes in theory

nimble basin
#

Maybe I can ask him about it, what would you pay for these with and without UVs?

warped dome
#

Probably 5 max, but then again i dont know how to do UVs

#

so we'd need someone that would do this for us

#

plus, refitting gloves is a bit yikes hhsdgafkekbutHD

nimble basin
#

lmao

#

Why's that?

warped dome
#

you need to refit each finger of course

#

and you need to do it very well, this is first person stuff

nimble basin
#

Damn rip

warped dome
#

so ye, dats about it what i found good

#

I have a teammate now, so I can tackle multiple projects at once

nimble basin
#

verigud

warped dome
#

Hey Mana, I am failing so hard that not even the file validation wants to help me anymore

red reef
#

nice ๐Ÿ˜„ what at?

warped dome
#

Im getting the classic shiny void texture

#

I file validated every file in my project

#

As a matter of fact, i just changed this to the classic way of doing materials

#

And that works

#

But when i do the changes above, it doesn't work

#

I did update AXL and every core mod, so I'm really clueless now, file validation doesn't say anything anymore

red reef
#

file validation isn't fully updated to check for dynamic appearances yet

#

because I have to update it, and I didn't have any spoons yet ๐Ÿ˜

warped dome
red reef
#

I'd try to recreate the MultilayerSetup CKeyValue pair

#

oh, sec

#

this here can't be soft

#

only the one with the dynamic path

warped dome
#

But the file validation said so

red reef
#

it did? fuck, then it's checking too generously

warped dome
#

wait ill show

red reef
#

this one is right, the other one isn't

#

I think

warped dome
red reef
#

Hmmm, okay, can you double-check?

warped dome
#

yeah im going ingame now

red reef
#

It's checking incorrectly

warped dome
#

Still same

#

damn

#

is the other way around?

#

Well I am truly bamboozled

red reef
#

with Default for the base material?

warped dome
#

Ya

#

and Soft on the mlsetup

red reef
#

hm

#

check how I did it in my rope mesh? HideThePain

#

I remember struggling with this at first

warped dome
#

alright

warped dome
#

well i literally copy pasted your implementation and its the same for me

#

your mod does work ingame

#

so i can also rule out the dependencies being ghostly outdated

red reef
#

maybe update them again?

#

axl, txl, codeware

#

make sure that you have everything on the last version, all core mods

nimble basin
#

Oh whoops, fat finger

warped dome
#

Man I kid you not

red reef
warped dome
#

I wanted to do military crocs on April fools

#

I was so close

nimble basin
#

lmfao

warped dome
#

But I was too lazy

nimble basin
#

I was tempted to get them too

#

like regular meme crocs - I sleep

#

platform meme crocs? real shit

warped dome
#

Platform crocs? Let's go

#

But why stop at platform

#

Where are high heel crocs

nimble basin
#

Retrothruster Platform Croc replacer for Rogue

nimble basin
#

I will get

warped dome
nimble basin
#

Are those crocs a good model and price too? Asking for a friend

warped dome
#

let me check

#

oh yea
