Modded Assets Discussion

[south dagger]

game starts but no mod applied?

[red hare]

yes

no mod applied

I did follow your step to select the game folder and apply the mods before opening nikke

[south dagger]

delete everything in: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\com_proximabeta\NIKKE\com.unity.addressables
restart game without using nmm and let it fully load
exit game
start nmm, select game path, apply mods
start game again

or are you on hmt

[scarlet pollen]

oh, I'm currently working on adding the preview for nmm 0.3.0.

[south dagger]

its better if i put it in the source code otherwise every minor version will require u to do this

[red hare]

I stuck in 43% after doing this

[south dagger]

#1041207949508497548 message

[red hare]

UnityCrashHandler is already deleted before

[south dagger]

Ok but move the files like that

Or well, copypaste

Like the picture

1 or more of those files failed to copy to nikke folder if youre stuck 43%

Seems like a common problem that nmm fails to copy them, not sure why

[pine lichen]

Hello,How can I install mods, is there a tutorial?

[red hare]

but i did copied those files too

my step:
delete everything in: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\com_proximabeta\NIKKE\com.unity.addressables
restart game without using nmm and let it fully load
exit game and launcher
start nmm, select game path, apply mods
copied those config too Nikke folder again, click apply mods, start game again , and it stuck 43%

[south dagger]

You don't happen to have two installs of nikke or something like that?

[red hare]

I had Nikke_HMT but i didn't use it and didn't open and update it for years, does it affect?

[south dagger]

Was just thinking if youre maybe copying the files to a different nikke.exe compared to the one youre launching or smth

Stuck at 43% means something wrong with the files copied to nikke.exe folder

[red hare]

do you mean that some of the mods are not valid?

[south dagger]

Oke ill check and maybe put it in today

[half oak]

nmm 0.21, is it correct that the current Nikke skin mode is applied? I can't apply it for some reason..

[south dagger]

No i mean something wrong with the step in the image #1041207949508497548 message

[south dagger]

Nmm 0.3

[half oak]

Where is the download zip for nmm 0.3??

[south dagger]

43% means mods are applied but those files aren't doing their job (by not being in place or for some other reason)

[half oak]

I'm sorry to ask you so often, but then is there any way to apply the mod now?

[south dagger]

#1041207949508497548 message

Read the instructions too because it's different from nmm 0.2

[mellow marsh]

wtf, where is the model import for nikke-db spine viewer

[pine lichen]

Does this work for someone who wants to install mods for the first time sir?

[south dagger]

It's the only way to install mods

[fresh spade]

How can I get the Addressable Directory?

[south dagger]

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\com_proximabeta\NIKKE\com.unity.addressables

[pine lichen]

I understand, I've been looking for a way to install them for a few minutes, thanks

[mellow marsh]

Im assuming this is what you wanted

[fresh spade]

Is the hash value of Helm's original skin changed?

I can't successfully search for it in Everything.

[steady crane]

yea can you give me the texture?

my spine2d is not fully unpacked the texture

[mellow marsh]

this?

[steady crane]

yeah

[mellow marsh]

that was in the zip

you couldve just unzipped it and it was in there

[steady crane]

i cant fully unpack it

[mellow marsh]

I have no experience in Spine Pro so cant help you with that

have you checked the log for details of what went wrong

[stone bloom]

simple

learning before trying everything and stop asking because we won't teach

[primal summit]

so helpful

[steady crane]

there is no tutorial

[stone bloom]

read user manual, joke aside

[steady crane]

how can i learn

[red hare]

@south dagger I don't know why the error message "unityplayer.dll failed to load" pop up everytime when i open the nikke after I deleted and downloaded the addressable -> apply the nmm again

Then i have to restart my PC, then i open nikke and stuck in 43%, I keep having this dead loop...

[steady crane]

what software did u use

[mellow marsh]

wym, for the texture I posted?

[stone bloom]

people need to stop follow my twitter and expect joined here and look for my answer for their question

[mellow marsh]

or the full image?

[steady crane]

this

[mellow marsh]

🗣️ let them spend $400

[stone bloom]

i know their purpose

[south dagger]

Hmm im not sure honestly, can look into it more inna few hrs seems strange

[mellow marsh]

are you like trying to get every part separate or what? Im trying to understand your end goal

[steady crane]

yeah the seperate thing,sorry for bad english

[mellow marsh]

best I can think of is photoshop or paint.net and cut each part into their own layer and export those as images

[wicked pivot]

wdym

[mellow marsh]

plz tell me Im just blind

the feature to import your own atlas, image, skel files to view

[wicked pivot]

?

use your mouse wheel on the tool section

[mellow marsh]

I didnt know you could scroll down

[wicked pivot]

[fresh spade]

Which website is this?

[mellow marsh]

Nikke-db

weird, dont work even tho it works in Live2DViewerEX

[wicked pivot]

this error is usually the wrong selected spine version

or you passed a json as a binary file

[mellow marsh]

I selected 4.1 and 4.0 but both did the same. Hmm, I think I know why the spine is 3.8.8

thats old as fuck

[wicked pivot]

bro is using a spine from 1987 naaaahh

[mellow marsh]

I mean, I guess if your game dont need to update its spine then its fine

yeah this game came out in 2020, it looks they haven't updated it at all since release

[wicked pivot]

afaik I could update my tool to handle 3.7 to 4.2

because I wanted to handle 3.6 spines but 3.7 was the first version that got a web runtime and I was big sad

[stone bloom]

how long does it take to finished apply mods?

mine is weirdly slow

[south dagger]

theyre retarded for not having backwards compability in newer runtime

not being able to open old files is peak retard

[red hare]

am i really the only one who stuck in 43% and can't not find a solution?

[mellow marsh]

https://tenor.com/view/akakishinoeleven-kiluwlo-ares-butnottoday-gif-791988819342358020

reinstall windows

[south dagger]

lol

[south dagger]

ill look into it soon but seems to work for most ppl after they copied dist/nkab files into nikke.exe folder, not sure why yours not working, try apply mods when u have 0 mods selected and start game

if you still get stuck at 43% with no active mods then its 100% an error with those files (dist/nkab)

if it goes past 43% after applying with no active mods, then the problem might be one of the mods youre trying to activate

[odd cloud]

@south dagger you will add other stuff like portrait etc tomorrow right?

Are you planning to add burst-lobby animations as well?

[south dagger]

maybe tomorrow

they are in different db file so its kinda annoying

[feral hull]

Interesting... I added more mods, and got the 43% error again

I guess some of the files got replaced by the Nikke exe

[south dagger]

okay so invalid mods can cause 43% error then?

[feral hull]

that could also be

[south dagger]

didnt think it could

but might be

[feral hull]

I'm testing now

[south dagger]

i can see smth like special characters (foreign languages etc?) possibly fucking something up

but i think it shouldnt

[feral hull]

it's downloading original files now, around 500MB

I will start from scratch

[south dagger]

hm u have to redownload files?

didnt realize old files get removed

[feral hull]

I deleted the catalog, and it figured it had to download files again

[south dagger]

i c

didnt realize it deletes files not in use now

thats cool

[fresh spade]

Excuse me, how can I know the latest hash value of the character?

[mellow marsh]

like their file?

[lavish steppe]

portraits already worked for me

[south dagger]

oh really

[odd cloud]

Thats a nice surprise I guess :D

[south dagger]

everything in this list should work then

sry for the shit formatting of that file but im lazy to make it nicer

[pale cove]

Solved every problem without 43%. Can make sure some invalid mods cause the error, testing now too

[south dagger]

it would be the filename that causes the error and not the mod content IF mods can cause game to be stuck on 43% (not convinced they can)

[pale cove]

You're right. Just found one of the filename without 'standing'

[feral hull]

me too, found a mod with aim.bundle

it's working now

[tribal shadow]

wtf am I even reading

[mellow marsh]

Jeff stuff yes

[fleet current]

Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it

[brisk laurel]

downloading hint word in NMM is just time-dependent? disappear in seconds

or it will detect files downloaded?

[tribal shadow]

nahhh

imma test new nmm

[small yoke]

I updated the list recently tho
I'll check later since I installed the game again so I got the files

[tribal shadow]

can't fetch when clicking Apply Mods

now it did

error on my end it seems

Can't use Na0h's preview for now

got my answer (right one is 0.2nmm with Na0hs app.asar)

now waiting for nikke to actually launch

doesn't seem to work

[half oak]

Is there no stop when using Nike mode?

[small yoke]

welp, I'm officially back to play thanks to mods

[tribal shadow]

now works

[tribal shadow]

I may get back to modding if it stays that easy with applying

[tribal shadow]

Repairing launcher files worked

I saw that

[half bone]

would've kept it, but removed since was a few millisecond late

[tribal shadow]

I wonder if applying when in outpost works the same

[half bone]

didn't for me, hopefully it was just a me issue

[tribal shadow]

yeah, doesn't seem to work

no biggie tho

still better than 10s wait

[polar wing]

wut happen

[south dagger]

It doesn't reload in outpost anymore, i assume

[polar wing]

i swear it never has

[south dagger]

I could probably find a way to force reload it somewhere tbh

It worked in 0.1

[polar wing]

ong i dont remember

maybe cause i never did it but

[south dagger]

It did for sure

[polar wing]

🥀

[south dagger]

They used to reload addressables when you went from outpost back to lobby

If i rly want to i think i can turn that back on, not sure

[odd cloud]

https://tenor.com/view/happy-tears-gif-25605273

[stone bloom]

@south dagger randomly triggering freezing lobby screen, or may be it was mine mistake applying mod

[south dagger]

sounds unrelated unless its trying to load some broken mod

[small yoke]

so portraits are working already?

[lavish steppe]

yea, used old ones and even made new ones with your swapper to test

[south dagger]

all files in this is swappable

internalIds.find((i) => i.internal_id.includes(modName))
cxxx_xx_standing/cover/aim automatically gets their modName set to the correct internalId name, for non-cxxx_xx_s/c/a youll have to make sure modName includes something in the list above

[small yoke]

I'm checking now, I guess I'll change the lobby/burst mods I have to NMM format since I don't want to mess the og files.... I could forget to make backup and after next game update to lose all of them

[hollow zenith]

Where are the encrypted files supposed to be? Am trying to create a mod to test out but everything doesn't return anything.

[south dagger]

mods should be unencrypted

[hollow zenith]

I mean the original encrypted ones.

From proximabeta itself.

[south dagger]

oh

[small yoke]

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Unity\com_proximabeta_NIKKE\aeb001dfac41dab1192aeo074efc3e21

[south dagger]

i can make download list sec

cuz fuck that directory its cursed

[tribal shadow]

yup

[hollow zenith]

Weird. There are files in the directory but none of them match up with the file names given in alteri. Did they file names change or something?

[south dagger]

spinecombatcharactergroup(hd) / spinestandingcharactergroup(hd) are most likely the ones ur looking for

[small yoke]

just in case.... do you have your game settings to High Quality?

game files for HQ and LQ are different

[south dagger]

is alteri even updated anymore

[polar wing]

are the other mod names the same as last time

[south dagger]

should be same

[hollow zenith]

I'd have to check tbh. I hadn't really noticed.

[small yoke]

fun fact: NMM was not working for me after I reinstalled the game today..... and the issue was that I had my game at Low Quality settings (it seems like I left it like that when I uninstalled it), so after to switch the game quality back to high NMM worked

[polar wing]

yk mods are made with hq assets right

[south dagger]

NMM 0.31

• includes Na0h mod preview button (can preview mods in the modmanager)
• nothing else was changed

patch file for people who have 0.3 already: https://gofile.io/d/cMVqJD (replace app.asar in nmm/resources/ folder)
full download: https://gofile.io/d/utsJPe

[polar wing]

insane

[tribal shadow]

[hollow zenith]

I do. I had previously used alteri to find those assets before.

It's weird that they aren't there now.

[south dagger]

the nose kinda looks like me

[hollow zenith]

Just checked and graphics options say HQ. How can I trigger a redownload of everything? Might messed something up at some point.

[south dagger]

i think alteri just isnt updated bro

u cant upload addressables to it

cuz they are encrypted now

[hollow zenith]

I'm using the JSON uploaded to the DC server on the 27th. Maybe those aren't the latest anymore.

[south dagger]

oh

march 27th? should be latest then i think

dunno

[small yoke]

Lorax JSON structure is different from Bingle one, I made a script to parse them to Bingle format since I don't want to remake my scripts to work with Lorax new structure

Before to use the parsers:
rename the main catalog to ----> catalog_raw
rename the lobby/burst catalog to ---> catalog_rawlobbyburst
rename the physics catalog to ---->physics_raw

Run the scripts and you will get the olds:
catalog_db
catalog_lobbyburst
catalog_physics

[hollow zenith]

Oh.

[small yoke]

Lorax latest catalogs

catalog_14acabe.json is the main catalog
catalog_131.10.2B.json is the lobbyburst catalog
physics-catalog_14acabe.db.dec.json is the physics catalog

But Lorax catalogs format is still cool so I can get the parent foldernames from there directly, same with the cloud URLs

the filenames are different

so.... new JSON files?

@south dagger there are new JSON files right?

[south dagger]

yes

[south dagger]

.

if u dont need container

[small yoke]

only the main catalog changed?
lobby and physics are the same right?

[south dagger]

no idea check addressable folder

core_131.10.2H_catalog

[small yoke]

welp, subfoldernames changed but parentfolders still the same so I guess my lobby/burst swappers are good for now
and physics should still work if Bready was the last unit added so far

I need to update the one for character/portrait swapper

[south dagger]

ill prolly build repack/swapper into nmm for subs

[small yoke]

Na0h added a swapper to his viewer already tho

[south dagger]

python one? different from 0_3_1

[small yoke]

javascript? @scarlet pollen

[south dagger]

no need to ping

[small yoke]

lol, just in case xd

[south dagger]

its python if he added it ever

[small yoke]

well, that improvement surely will be welcomed for subs

[south dagger]

Prolly gonna replace the entire viewer anyway

Pretty slow loading and clunkyish

[small yoke]

I mean my swapper will die if Lorax stops to share updated catalogs cuz Bingle is gone, so to have the swapper implemented directly into NMM is better

for autoupdated catalogs

[south dagger]

eh

i can make decrypted db folder open if u want

[small yoke]

https://tenor.com/view/ted-tv-show-oh-that-would-be-wonderul-wonderful-ted-ted-2024-gif-15843381197717252417

[vale rover]

just get deepseek or something to rewrite unitypy in js how hard can it be

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-gif-9844027

[south dagger]

http://161.97.73.171/nikke_db/

dont spread it around

[vale rover]

no https makes my firefox cry

[south dagger]

-dec file is sqlite3

[small yoke]

💀

[south dagger]

https on a not-domain

[vale rover]

firefox still shedded a tear, and shidded its pantaloons

[south dagger]

U can drop it into sqlite db browser and generate json file from there

[vale rover]

wtf is even on that ip...is bro being naughty and borrowing a companies servers?

[south dagger]

Ah

I think some fucked shit got into root of ip when i installed some shady vpn software

Never cared to fix it

Fucking bootleg chinese vpn softwares from github

[vale rover]

https://tenor.com/view/sussy-baka-sussy-goofy-goofy-ahh-gif-15006883243388750247

[south dagger]

Did a quick check for how theyre doing it but couldn't figure it out in less than 30s so i said fuckit

[vale rover]

If root == default.html:
root = slop.html

or however web devs do things i dunno

[south dagger]

Its not /var/www/index.html

And theres nothing in my nginx settings that i can find that changes it from default dir to whatever the fuck that is

But idgaf tbh

[vale rover]

bet its /var/www/chindex.html

[south dagger]

Lol

[violet lark]

oh so thats why I get an error every time i try to exit normally

interesting i didn't know that

[orchid vector]

Question, with the new nmm if I deselect all the mods and apply will it revert my game back to 'vanilla'?

[south dagger]

delete version.dll from nikke folder and repair game should return it to vanilla

or well just removing version.dll will deactivate everything

if u get stuck at 43%, delete all files in %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\com_proximabeta\NIKKE\com.unity.addressables as well

[orchid vector]

Sweet, thanks man. Just asking in the event I need to revert my game.

[south dagger]

oh yeah just deselect everything and hit apply

then nothing will be active

nmm still technically in the background but not modding any file

[polar wing]

does regular name format work again

[orchid vector]

Man you cooked with this update, it runs so smoothly now. I got so used to waiting like 5m before entering the game its nice to be able to just jump in w/o waiting.

[tribal shadow]

[south dagger]

Define normal

I dont think it ever didnt work

[polar wing]

didnt u tell me just to use cXXX_XX_pose

[south dagger]

I mean files that start like that

[polar wing]

what about other stuff

do they work

[south dagger]

yes

[polar wing]

k

[south dagger]

They worked the whole time i lied yesterday

[polar wing]

mf

[vale rover]

l'epic troll

[south dagger]

I dont think physics works though

But dunno

Portrait etc works

[orchid vector]

lmao, seriously?

[tribal shadow]

always did

you guys didn't check?

[polar wing]

i was too busy trying to get my shit to work

[scenic agate]

I can't preview my mod by nmm 0.31.
When I was using NMM 0.21, I got a message saying that the texture format was not supported.
Which format should I specify to preview it?

[polar wing]

by the time i got it to work my dailies were done

[scarlet pollen]

javascript + NAU. no python

[small yoke]

https://tenor.com/view/tricked-deceived-betrayed-deception-oh-the-deception-gif-5540567

[tribal shadow]

[scenic agate]

No, the texture format doesn't seem to be the issue.
Some of my mods can be previewed and some can't (they keep loading forever).
I don't know the difference between the two.

[small yoke]

It seems like LZ4 compressed files don't load properly
Try this quick script I made to decompress your mods, and even if they are decompressed already you can still use this script
After I "decompressed" my mods with this I can view them on NMM viewer now

tested with Sei mods (already repacked) and Na0h mods (already repacked)

[scenic agate]

Thank you.
I tried it with one mod and it now displays a preview.

It seems that this tool loads with Unitypy and saves without compression.
Unitypy will handle whether or not it is compressed.
I wanted to find out which mods are compressed with lz4, but it looks like the only way to find out is to actually preview them.

[small yoke]

yeah, I'm batch-decompressing all of them because I want to be able to use the viewer lol

I'll remove the LZ4 compression from my tools and from my repacker as well

That way the swaps will work with NMM viewer with no issues

[scenic agate]

Run everything through the tool, and if the file size increases, i can determine that it has been compressed.
I'm concerned that the file size will be more than doubled, though.

[small yoke]

my mods folder went from 2GB to 8GB now lol

some sacrifice necessary to use the viewer

[violet lark]

It's UnityCrashHandler64 thats making nikke crash when you try to exit normally right?

[small yoke]

yeah, NMM deleted mine automatically after I finished to set the nikke.exe path

now I'm playing without UnityCrashHandler64.exe

[violet lark]

mods dont see to be working for me

is there a solution if i scroll up?

[south dagger]

Depends on what the problem is

[small yoke]

☝️

@scenic agate after some more tests it seems that even after using UnityPy to decompress some of them don't work for me, I had to drop them onto UABEA and to save them manually to be able to make them work

wait nvm..... it seems like the issue is their filenames.....
after to rename them from c010_02_standing back to the full format c010_02_standing_Kxde_Rapi they work with no issues after the decompression

[south dagger]

How many different compressions are there lol

[small yoke]

hmm... welp, actually I indeed need to drop them onto UABEA and to save them with no compression to make them work with the viewer

maybe this is what Jeff was doing lol

for that request for a batch LZ4 decompressor or something

[scenic agate]

Well, I've found the cause so I'll put it on hold for now.
There may be changes to the preview function, so I decided that there's no need to rush to fix my old mods.
From now on, when I create mods, I'll try not to compress them.

[south dagger]

U can compress them

I'll make a new viewer 99% sure

This one is so sluggish

[small yoke]

https://tenor.com/view/i-believe-jum-carrey-gif-5640343

welp for now I'm leaving them compressed after all

[south dagger]

Oke

[small yoke]

NMM is working stable now so that is all I wanted

[sudden ore]

Oh nice, we have NMM stable version before GTA VI

[stone bloom]

@south dagger it has been like that for 30 mins

[south dagger]

#1041207949508497548 message

The bundle extractor used is a bit bad and can't take compressed bundles i guess

[small yoke]

after to decompress the bundles there are mods that won't work with the viewer even with that

so for now I'm not using the viewer for those specific mods

[stone bloom]

[south dagger]

Shame unitypy is the only good way to repack thru cli

Maybe ill compile an exe for doing repack with unitypy

I think they're usually like 30mb for python iirc

So not rly a huge problem

[small yoke]

yeah, larger NMM instead of larger mods files sounds better for disk space saving

[south dagger]

Might remake nmm as a whole too tbh

Its simple enough

Can reduce file size by a fuck ton tbh

[scarlet pollen]

nmm 0.4.0 soon

[hallow quiver]

nah. i.0.0!

[polar wing]

when will nmm reach 1.0

smh

[modern dagger]

WE NEED “NMM Ultimate Ultra Deluxe Plus”

[south dagger]

Straya edition

[red hare]

I think some of my mods make the problem stucking in 43%, I just apply one mod and it works fine.
I read the list that could be mod, but I don't know how to read
Is that mean files name like
"eventscene_c350_cutscene"
"icons-char-mi(hd)_assets_mi_c043_00_s"
"sdcharacters_assets_c350_00_var"
"spotskillcutscene_assets_c350_00_cut_scene"
are not working now?

[south dagger]

They should work

But there might be smth that doesn't work, if you find which one makes you stuck at 43% pls let me know

[red hare]

will it work if the author named in chinese character?

like this "c192_00_standing_violet_托比"

[south dagger]

Try it and let me know, it wouldn't surprise me if chinese character somehow messes it up

I haven't tested cn character myself

But maybe it cause some corruption

If it does ill fix it tomorrow

Its the most likely out of any files to cause problems i think but just guessing

[obsidian star]

nah

[restive vapor]

I'm pretty stupid so can someone walk me through on how you mod stuff?

[jovial stratus]

https://tenor.com/view/ghost-gif-26262522

[modern dagger]

I tested it, and a Chinese name doesn't affect the mod's application.

I only changed the author name.

[obsidian star]

read the google doc

and download nmm 0.31

[restive vapor]

It only shows .21

nvm found it

[restive vapor]

Uhhh.... So good news it is working for now. Apart from all MM mods and a few randoms, I can see preview for mods
Bad News: My game is stuck at 4/7.
Any advice?

[modern dagger]

#1041207949508497548 message
#1041207949508497548 message
try these

[red hare]

I found that i am stucking on 43% because of the files "eventscene_c350_cutscene" and "eventscene_c351_cutscene"

lobby burst swapping is not working?

[modern dagger]

NMM doesn't support these for now.

[restive vapor]

NMM doesn't support lobby mods?

[modern dagger]

only standing, cover, and aim are supported.

[polar wing]

lobby mods arent applied with nmm

ngl

[restive vapor]

damn, half the mods I wanna use are lobby mods lol

[scarlet pollen]

favoritelobby(favoriteitemscene_cXXX_XX) mods are working.

[orchid vector]

Dan said he was trolling when he said lobby/skillcut mods aren't working

[polar wing]

just apply them yourself

you can still do that right

in unity/com_proximabeta_NIKKE

[modern dagger]

I don't know—yesterday Danieru said that only standing, aim, and cover are supported. Maybe Danieru add the others in the 0.31 update?

[polar wing]

0.31 was just the naoh preview thing

he updated 0.3 already

also apparently it always worked

[modern dagger]

okey

[polar wing]

he was trolling

[orchid vector]

i know today he said he was lying about that and trolling us

now im unsure which is the case >__<

[orchid vector]

Yupp, that's what i've been doing.

[south dagger]

Theres a list of files that work in nmm that i sent earlier

Ill check why other files break nmm, because they should just not get applied

#1041207949508497548 message the list

[hallow quiver]

Anyone tried running the nau decrypter on Linux?

[stone bloom]

new NMM makes story mode unplayable

[south dagger]

New nmm or invalid mod

Betting invalid mod

same happened with old nmm afaik

[feral hull]

I checked all of my mods, and there were 2 mods not working: one Emma aim and one Snow White aim

my suggestion is to go and check all mods one by one in the Nikkepedia

if any of those is used in story mode, then you will get a disconnected message or something like that

[junior plank]

nmm

[brisk laurel]

@small yoke maybe an outdated question, mod repacker works for now?

[fleet current]

It’s best to apply lobby and burst mods yourself cuz why not

[stone bloom]

can't, if it is invalid it should not loading ingame

[south dagger]

It's gonna be a problem with the mod, u can check player.log

[chrome drift]

Hi everyone, does nmm work for you all?

It's stuck on this for me after clicking apply mods

[brisk laurel]

use vpn

[chrome drift]

where should I be vpn'ing to

[brisk laurel]

not a booter like UU, just a vpn for youtube browsing

[chrome drift]

yeah and I'm using one rn

[mellow marsh]

If your in Asia use a vpn to anywhere else since downloading configs is really slow

[brisk laurel]

server for nmm seems in Europe

[chrome drift]

got it, thanks

[stone bloom]

@south dagger

[scenic agate]

RemoteProviderException : Invalid path in AssetBundleProvider: 'D:/NIKKE/NIKKE/game/nikke_Data/StreamingAssets/aa/StandaloneWindows64/mods/c012_00_standing_Seireiko_Anis.png'.

[chrome drift]

nvmd still not working for me

[south dagger]

yep 🙂

[small yoke]

the repacker never stopped to work tho

only thing I'll add at some point is another script to rename files from asdfw583wdjvsjhd to cXXX_XX_standing_etc...

[brisk laurel]

so repacker just needs newest jason file?

[small yoke]

oh right, I forgot to update the catalog again
Danieru shared the updated catalog, I just need to parse it to work with my scripts

[brisk laurel]

[feral hull]

I found some old mods I want to repack, but the names are in coded format, like 30eeb2a917fd2dca7d8bb6c42d4827af

they are very old, and I don't know how to transform its name into NMM format

where's the spreadsheet with the names and codes?

[south dagger]

looks like nuitka can compile python+unitypy into ~5mb file, nice

ill bake repacker into nmm then

[scenic agate]

If you incorporate a repacker, doesn't Shift Up have no choice but to take measures?

[south dagger]

why

[scenic agate]

Because people won't need to buy skins anymore.

[modern dagger]

I don't think it's a big deal, after all, Shift Up has always been breaking mods.

[scenic agate]

This could be a clear reason for them to take action.

[brisk laurel]

repacker but not swapper

[scenic agate]

This looks like a swap to me.
#1041207949508497548 message

[modern dagger]

If it's a swapper, Shift Up might indeed do that, but if it's just a repacker, it should be fine.

[scenic agate]

NMM is finally stable.
That's enough for me.
I believe NIKKE's mod will be revived.
I don't want the risk to increase.
Of course, the final decision is yours.

[small yoke]

https://kxdekxde.github.io/nikke/characters.html
But I need to parse Danieru catalog to Bingle format before to update the sheet, so it's outdated atm

oh and btw use Chrome or another Chromium-based browser to see the sheet, it seems like Firefox got issues loading the sheet properly

[stone bloom]

before asking him to add anything, give him some coffee first

[restive vapor]

It is normal that not all mods can be previewed right?

[south dagger]

Yeah seems mods that have any kind of compression can't be viewed

[silent coral]

Anyone else getting disconnected from servers when trying to do the Pilgrim tower or is it just me

[south dagger]

U have an invalid mod in your pilgrim team

[silent coral]

Ah that was it

[stone bloom]

Anyone notice that if the mod is no compressed then when loading mod ingame the game is a bit laggy?

[fresh spade]

I often have to re-enter the game many times before the mod can possibly take effect. How can I solve this problem?

[brisk laurel]

@small yoke repacker 1.5 needs an additional URL.json?

I deleted old version, that one not need for URL.json

[small yoke]

yeah well, it's the same than before but now the repacker downloads the raw files from the cloud instead to search for them in your game folders

[brisk laurel]

looks like 0.3.0 must mod game in pure version

[patent ridge]

I didn't find c451_02 in the previous URL. json file, is there a new URL. json file available?

[brisk laurel]

just change or apply some additional mods doesn't work for me

before this, I need delete addressables, open game and download the pure version

[brisk laurel]

keep waiting

[polar wing]

yeah

its somewhere

i think danieru or kxde sent it

[icy smelt]

For some reason no matter what I try I can't get mods to work with 3.0, it keeps getting stuck at 43% building catalog path

This is what I tried (multiple times each):

Deleting \com_proximabeta\NIKKE\com.unity.addressables => run game once to remake files => apply mods
Uninstalling Nikke, reinstalling, repeating the same steps

Making sure the dep folder stuff (NKAB and the version.dll etc.) are in the games root folder

Making sure there is no odd .png files or anything not a mod file in the mods folder

Checking to make sure in inspect element of nmm that the request is good (200)

Making sure there are only 6 files in \com_proximabeta\NIKKE\com.unity.addressables

Deleting the nikke-mod-manager folder in %appdata

Repairing and doing those steps again

[half bone]

currently we found only one issue make it stuck at 43%: NMM not copying the files within NKAB folder properly

in your nmm 0.3 version folder, there is a deps folder. Inside it, there is nkab folder. open it. You will find NKAB folder and some other files beside it. Copy everything. go to where your game is installed (where Nikke.exe is) and paste everything there

[icy smelt]

I appreciate the help, but I have said above that I have tried that, multiple times too

[half bone]

is there are file named "hi_shiftup_dont_mind_me.js" inside the dist folder in NKAB folder in your game directory?

[icy smelt]

Yup

[half bone]

idk what else could be the issue then, we haven't found any other reason to get stuck at 43% yet. maybe @south dagger can help.

btw, do you get stuck in all mods? did you try disabling some of them and trying out only new mods which already worked for others?

[icy smelt]

I get stuck even with no mods installed, it looks like Danieru said its likely a dep problem if thats the case but I legit have copied the files so many times haha

[south dagger]

You have a mod that is incompatible with current version i think, try disabling all mods except one

Just use one standing mod to test with

Nvm you said when with no mods

Hm

Then it should be those deps files

Can u send me player.log in dms? It's in locallow/com.proximabeta

[icy smelt]

So in the end what finally fixed it was a computer restart, right after reinstalling everything (prolly for the 5th time haha)

[south dagger]

Different folder from com_proximabeta, has a dot

Weird

[icy smelt]

Yeah I'm guessing even after uninstalling, deleting all nikke + nmm stuff there was something loose laying around that only got dropped when you restart, very odd

[south dagger]

Sometimes processes keep living even after you close the game or nmm maybe some old process was blocking stuff somehow

[fleet current]

@polar wing why’d you post what you did in #modded-assets ?

[flint python]

how to fix error i can't use nmm

[odd cloud]

Does physics file works?

[restive vapor]

bruh I scrolled till last year Jan, can someone help me find the Privaty party dress skin mod where she flashes her boobs.

[small yoke]

They updated catalog_db so prolly the physics catalog changed as well..... and I don't have the new one

[odd cloud]

The previous one works actually, just tried

At least just Liter worked

[small yoke]

oh nice lol
they just changed the aeb filenames so I think to update the swappers is not needed since they can access to the files on the cloud with no issues

I need the new catalog_db to update this sheet tbh --> https://kxdekxde.github.io/nikke/characters.html

[odd cloud]

Thats awesome, less pain in the ass especially for you

[small yoke]

Danieru sent the new catalog but the URL version
#1041207949508497548 message

[odd cloud]

Maybe you can make it work with that directly?

[small yoke]

parsed version to Bingle catalog format

I'm updating the repacker now with this one

[south dagger]

Didnt u get the raw catalog sqlite db as well

[small yoke]

wait.... they are the same values than the latest catalog I had already

[south dagger]

Aha

[small yoke]

I'm confused now lol

[small yoke]

I see why I was not able to find some files.... I forgot NMM deletes them from aeb folder when We apply a mod for the character

[south dagger]

Nmm doewnt delete them

The game deletes unused files

If it was up to me id have the files stay so ppl dont need to redownload game files when deactivating mods

[small yoke]

https://tenor.com/view/of-course-jim-carrey-funny-gif-12918652202164233594

[south dagger]

Honestly i could probably set up something so the old fikes are still in catalog and dont get deleted but its kinda complicated

Not worth it methinks

[small yoke]

it's fine, I was just confused because someone was not able to find some files using my sheet

so they didn't know about that detail

and I forgot it too

[south dagger]

Just download from url list is so much easier imo

Dunno why u guys ever bother with those files

[small yoke]

they wanted to mod the og file I guess

[south dagger]

It's the same file

Or wdym

[small yoke]

the guy that wanted to find the file using my sheet

I use the character swapper to download the raw files anyways

[restive vapor]

Thank you so much

[small yoke]

my cheap spine viewer that is not a spine viewer

[south dagger]

🙂

u can tell what version to use in the header of .skel file

no need to manual pick

[small yoke]

I'll try, the code is long so deepseek is breaking the code sometimes

[south dagger]

working on new version of nmm that will be able to view em all without selecting anything special but will prolly make it sub function

[odd cloud]

[small yoke]

And Esoteric skeleton viewer for 4.0x models can't even load NIKKE models properly lul
Koshirei web viewer is the only viewer without issues

[south dagger]

its spine web runtimes

but ye spine is retarded

[small yoke]

https://tenor.com/view/very-smart-move-sander-bos-making-the-cut-good-move-smart-gif-16988053

I made this quick GUI with PyQt6 to not open the .jar files and to load the .skel files manually

to check mods faster only

[violet lark]

W mods work for me now

[dusty badger]

How's 3.0 nmm looking so far?

I've been away from the internet for a few days lmao

And nmm just got an update

It seems

[wicked pivot]

all I use is the official spine code

with some custom code here and there to handle my own error messages ( and especially some custom dataUri loading )

so if other runtimes don't work correctly it's probably your config that's not correct

[opaque echo]

So far it works great when it works. A few people have some hiccups applying mods, but there are several troubleshooting tips in this thread if you encounter a specific issue. Also I think there's a 0.3.1 version, but 0.3.0 works for me.

Also @south dagger , are you able to post the NMM info in the Pinned Messages of this thread as a quick reference?

[small yoke]

I just run those .jar files and nothing else, and 4.0.x models got .atlas error when I use the files without modifications

Anis is an example that doesn't work with Esoteric viewer 4.0.64 but it works on the web viewer

[wicked pivot]

wrong jar version prolly

jars might not be as backward compatible as web player

[dusty badger]

Does it still takes like 5 minutes to apply the mods?

[south dagger]

no

i think he means once u get it working it works great, but a lot of people have issues to get it working for the 1st time

[opaque echo]

Applying takes 5 seconds. 🥳

[odd cloud]

Yeah its great

[formal tiger]

Hey so I have weird problem, trying to download KXD repacker, but I can't download the D___copy file. Mega gets stuck on retry loop

[gilded scarab]

Which files are you missing? D, E, NAU, and the clean folders.py? Or only that specific script?

[formal tiger]

only that specific one

[gilded scarab]

I'll DM you

[formal tiger]

ty

[dusty badger]

Pog

[remote stratus]

ayo guys, what is the state of modding at this moment ? still breaks on every update ? shift up still makes modding harder on new updates ? ty

[polar wing]

new nmm

shit actually works now

[remote stratus]

nice i havent tried using mods since last year
shift up used to make new encryption pretty often

i'll try it then ty my man

[gilded scarab]

It's as good as the old days, apply it once and never do it again (until patch or if you add/remove mods)

[opaque echo]

NMM just got updated this week, so we'll have to see if the Crust update catches wind of this development and also gets a 3.0 extended maintenance to combat us. 🥲

[twilit plover]

its released?

Still waiting for someone from CN to leak their nikke assets. I really want that privaty costume

[feral hull]

what is HMT?

[gilded scarab]

Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan

As opposed to CN server, SEA server, NA server, etc.

[feral hull]

ok

[restive vapor]

Any OG Anis mods??

[novel elbow]

the preview function loading forever

and the mods dont get applied at all in game
with the new NMM version

[small yoke]

#1041207949508497548 message

The preview doesn't work for most of mods because they are compressed with LZ4 compression, so for now you can use the preview only with Na0h mods or if you decompress the mods manually

[jovial stratus]

edit mode look funny ! i like it

why my name so green xD

[opaque echo]

Your name color is based on your role, usually what Nikkes you like. Click on your profile.

[jovial stratus]

it say : Master Hand

xD

[opaque echo]

Someone repacked a very simple Anis mod in January, you can see a preview in their MEGA. Let me see if I can post the link to the thread...#modded-assets message

[opaque echo]

Google says that's Julia's squad.

[modern dagger]

I don't think it's an LZ4 issue; all the mods I've made are compressed with LZ4, but they can all be previewed.

[small yoke]

most of the mods I have worked with the viewer after I decompressed them, altought it was just for testing
I prefer to have them compressed to save some disk space

[modern dagger]

[fleet current]

Could be lzma compression

[modern dagger]

I also tried it, and LZMA can be previewed as well

[fleet current]

How are you batch compressing the files btw

Using xz tools to lzma compress results in a file that UABEA can't open

[fleet current]

weird

I also cannot preview compressed mods

[modern dagger]

It's being compressed here, right?

[fleet current]

yeah

I can't bothered to compress 300+ files, but it seems compressing them using anything other than UABEA (which only supports doing it 1 by 1), results in files that UABEA can't open, and I doubt the game recognizes

[modern dagger]

I only know UABEA XD

[small yoke]

#1041207949508497548 message

if the mods are repacked those scripts to compress/decompress should work with the mods since they use UnityPy and bingle original repacker

[fleet current]

Hmm thanks

I wonder how UABEA does lzma compression

[small yoke]

the difference in file size between them is really small anyways

[void arrow]

i have this problem as well, do i apply in touch to continue screen like prev ver or before opening game?

[orchid vector]

before opening the game, some people say even before opening the launcher has helped.

[polar wing]

did you not ask for that role?

thats the role for artists

i saw ur shit on pixiv lol

[jovial stratus]

ohhhh that why !

that role for artist !!!

[polar wing]

yar

[jovial stratus]

[polar wing]

pretty cool

ig one of the mods recognized you

[opaque echo]

Is there a detailed list of these roles? I have Inherit, which I can't find info on.

[obsidian star]

[sterile mirage]

@scarlet pollen Can you please send me a invite link via dm? Got this new account

[odd cloud]

@small yoke May I ask whats the issue here?

[small yoke]

pip install requests

[wicked pivot]

do python not have a package manager file similar to package.json for node ? you should set it up and add a readme.md in the git

[small yoke]

Danieru said requests comes with Python installation iirc

[wicked pivot]

clearly not if it's required by pip

here kxde, create this requirement.txt file and add a quick guide on your github page

[odd cloud]

Yeah I found about it one second before your answer

Thanks!

[wicked pivot]

requirements.txt seems to be the pip norm file

[small yoke]

it's similar to pyinstaller but not making an exe?

[wicked pivot]

I know nothing about python

but I know about package managers

if your tool needs package you should make a package manager file for other people to easily install everything needed in 1 command

node have package.json, maven have pom.xml, php have composer.json ..

pip seems to be more brainrot but the convention seems requirements.txt

[small yoke]

I just added it to the readme like this

[wicked pivot]

well you do you

it's pretty hard talking informatics with AI "coders"

when you'll have more than 5 packages needed you'll understand the need of a package manager file

[small yoke]

first I need to learn programming properly

[wicked pivot]

if you want to learn properly then you should try following advices

[odd cloud]

@small yoke btw looks like it is possible to make "press enter.." automatically, thanks to deepseek

Adjusted D_decyript_with_NAU.py

[polar wing]

why did you make a script to decrypt with nau 🗿

[small yoke]

btw do you know if it's possible to make a desktop version of your website viewer?

[small yoke]

normal NAU requires the user to drag&drop the files manually, the script locates the folder where the user got the encrypted bundles and does the drag&drop thing automated

[polar wing]

is it really that hard to drag and drop

wtf

[small yoke]

for normal users yes

[polar wing]

brawh

normal is crazy

[odd cloud]

I mean isn't it make sense to bundle whole swapper to a single file? I think its great

[polar wing]

im talking about ur nau script bru

or do u mean put it in the swap script

[small yoke]

I need to learn how to package UnityPy into the .exe with nuitka like Danieru said

[wicked pivot]

if it's possible ? of course

will I do it ? not a chance

[small yoke]

with python*

[odd cloud]

Nau script is part of the swap script, otherwise ofc its easier to just drag and drop

[small yoke]

I mean I did that spine viewer GUI that uses Esoteric .jar viewers so I was trying to find how Na0h made his spine viewer for NMM

[wicked pivot]

time to lear' how to use github my man

https://github.com/EsotericSoftware/spine-runtimes

[odd cloud]

That I don't mind much. I mean you download it once time and then you are good to go. But sure up to you

[wicked pivot]

this link will answer everything you want to know about spine kxde

I recommend going to the 4.1 branch since it'll be the potential runtimes for the current nikke assets

[small yoke]

[wicked pivot]

https://esotericsoftware.com/spine-runtimes this link too for non official runtimes

lucky you there are 5 runtimes for py projects ( probably based on spine for C )

[small yoke]

should I care about this if it's just for a viewer?

[wicked pivot]

why'd you care if you make a viewer for yourself

esotericsoftwares never came bother me asking if I have a license

they cannt really go check the tens of thousands of runtime downloads per week

[odd cloud]

@small yoke Happens with portrait swapper

No issue with character swapper but both Lobby and Portrait have it (didn't try others)

[small yoke]

the lobby swapper is failing now?

[odd cloud]

The cmd screen was too fast but I think it was the same issue

[small yoke]

let me check with my game, I still need to put the lobby mods I have in their folders but We are getting another game update in a few hours

I was thinking that maybe would be cool to have some other Python tool that gets your modded lobby files from some backup on mediafire automatically and then it replaces everything for you automatically

with this bulk downloader I was using for my backups
https://github.com/NicKoehler/mediafire_bulk_downloader

[odd cloud]

Or maybe you can do something similar to physics fix? A small txt file to replace all at once.

[odd cloud]

With this everything becomes single click anyway

Just wait for CMD and done

[small yoke]

the lobby swapper is working for me, checking the portrait swapper now

[austere garnet]

did anyone know how you do when you have 2 texture but only 1 texture in original asset?

[small yoke]

@odd cloud the files from the portrait swapper are generated for me but the terminal shows some messages I never had before.... so yea there is something weird somewhere

[small yoke]

if you mean skin swaps there is a tool to make them automatically #1041207949508497548 message

[austere garnet]

thx but i think it doesn't match what i want, now the texture is like this,and i can't make a new or add in a c520_00_2 texture 2d with UABEA

[small yoke]

that .json should be .skel to be able to import it back to the character bundle I think

Spine Pro is required for that iirc

[austere garnet]

hummm

[austere garnet]

i export those from spine.....I need some way to add one more texture2D into the asset

[small yoke]

why you have 2 textures? are you using Spine Pro?

[austere garnet]

yes

[small yoke]

if it's about the export settings the other modders with the software here could help you (na0h, housou, seireiko...)

@modern dagger do you use Spine Pro as well?

[austere garnet]

ok thx

it look like i pack the texture 2 times in one time, makes it have 2 textures image...

[hollow zenith]

There's a tutorial for it in the Pinned Section of the Modded Assets Questions thread. Maybe that might help?

[small yoke]

now it looks more that how Na0h textures look

[hollow zenith]

Not sure how others link just the message but this here.

[small yoke]

they are trying to export their mod from Spine Pro so it's not a swap
It's a mod from scratch

[hollow zenith]

Ah. Yeah I figured after I saw the video.

[small yoke]

@lavish steppe are you sure the portrait swaps work with NMM 0.3? they are not loading for me

nvm, portrait swaps work

[south dagger]

[small yoke]

ok I changed how the character/portrait swappers and physics fixer save the files, now they save the files to C: drive instead of desktop

and I added the auto enter for the decryptor with NAU

[odd cloud]

Hmm I saw an error message but actually didn't check whether its work, gonna check after maintenance

[odd cloud]

🤷‍♂️

[small yoke]

I removed the unnecessary .bat file that I think was the reason, because I don't see that weird message anymore

[odd cloud]

Great, now back to waiting few more hours to try it then :D

Champions Arena already looks great

[small yoke]

nah, surely the extending maintenance to see if they can kill mods again

[odd cloud]

[odd cloud]

Btw just curious, why did you change to C:? Desktop was pretty easy to use imo

[small yoke]

ppl with onedrive desktop will keep getting error with the tools, C: should work for everyone now

[odd cloud]

Damn I though everyone was deleting onedrive asap

Fair then

[small yoke]

are they working for you now?

I mean the portrait and the lobby tools

[odd cloud]

Waiting for maintenance to try them

[small yoke]

but now you get the folders and the swapped files right?

saved in C

[odd cloud]

I was waiting for maintenence tbh :D

I can try if you want tho

[small yoke]

can you test the portrait and the character ones then?

since most of ppl had issues with them

[odd cloud]

Character swap is working (It was working before as well)

Portrait one is same tho, creates folder in C but no file inside

[dusty badger]

for whatever reason mods are not working for me

i tried waiting it out like when nmm was at .2.1 but still doesnt work

[restive vapor]

The mods are not working now. Do we need to repack them after each maintenance?

[odd cloud]

Didn't work for me as well at the first try but I exit the game, reapply again and it works now

[dusty badger]

i tried the same and still didnt work

[feral hull]

after the new path, everything goes back to normal

including some core files the NMM replaces

so, close the game completely (so, game core files become replaceable)

open NMM and use the select game path option, and look for nikke.exe

this is when NMM replaces core files (correct me if I'm wrong, this is an educated guess)

now, reapply mods again

once it has finished, open the game

if you still see the unmodded game, then maybe something is keeping the core files from being replaced/deleted, and you need to carry out that process manually

[stone bloom]

Mod alive or ded guys?

[feral pier]

work

Repeat the operation once Delete C:
Start the game Close
Open NMM
Open the game again

[feral hull]

alive and better than ever

[small yoke]

any error message with the repacker script?

[tribal shadow]

I should start collecting mods again ngl

[odd cloud]

Looks like the issue is on "10___move_files_to_desktop.py", don't know what exactly the issue tho

[small yoke]

but that one is what moves the files to C: now

[odd cloud]

I think this is the issue because I can see 1__ run successfully

2__... run successfully... etc

But when it comes to 10 it asks for an admin permission instead from phyton (but does it only if I export the .exe file and run portrait swap bat manually

Allowing or not allowing doesn't make any difference as well so... I have no idea

The issue not happening on you?

[small yoke]

try running the .exe as Admin (it should be running with Admin privileges by default tho )

[odd cloud]

Same, folder in C but no file inside. I guess the issue is not on 10__ then?

[small yoke]

To place stuff on C: requires Admin privileges and well..... those privileges need user actions

[small yoke]

not in "Repacked" either?

[odd cloud]

Yep

[small yoke]

the issue is the repacker script then

[odd cloud]

Looks like, just checked Repacked folder and never a file appeared in the first place

[small yoke]

The portrait swapper export the texture and it import it back but renaming the texture for the swap, so UnityPy is the main thing there

Character swapper uses UnityPy but the swap is done by hex edition

[odd cloud]

Do I need to install something with pip?

[small yoke]

since the character swapper is working you have UnityPy..... try running the scripts one by one until to reach the one for repacking

[fleet current]

This game could use taseful mods of default Rapi, Anis, and Neon, given how much they appear in all the stories

It'll be tricky cuz the mods can't break their facial animations either

Up to now, no mod has been done for those three that also doesn't break their facial animations during story

[odd cloud]

I like sfw-friendly more than total nude ones so I am using this one, but from what I can see ppl here are more thirsty than me

#modded-assets message

[odd cloud]

On it 👍

[fleet current]

Oh I missed this one (I was out of character modding during the NMM 0.2 era)

[odd cloud]

Looks like it works well until 7

Should 7 suppose to create a file in repacked?

[restive vapor]

Yeah rather than total nude, a bit tasteful nsfw is always better. I personally use the Anis Nip Slip and Rapi highcut ones

[small yoke]

ok the effects remover is up on my github now, I'mma make the video guide now but the README on github is the guide too so you guys can use the tool if you want from now

[odd cloud]

[fleet current]

I also use the Anis nip slip by MM

but it's ... so old lol

SOmeone should make a pantiless Neon one that 1) keeps her glasses and 2) doesn't break her animations

[odd cloud]

I also made one "cleaner Neon" which is basically removed bullets, pouchs etc but I am not sure if its worth sharing

[small yoke]

do you have the textures extracted in "ExtractedAssetsDefault" and "ExtractedAssetsSkin" ?

[fleet current]

remove her panties and ship it

[odd cloud]

Basically you are buffing Crown even more now

[odd cloud]

Yep, renamer worked as well I believe

[restive vapor]

I don' have many full nude mods. Rosanna Swimsuit, Crown Naked King, Mordernia transparent shirt are a few nude mods that I use. I wish I could find a Mary Bay Goddess mod tho.

[small yoke]

nah it's a visual remover, you still will have your fps dropping to 15fps

[odd cloud]

Removing is ok but what to put under it

I am no artist

[odd cloud]

[fleet current]

Hmm

[odd cloud]

Still buff tbh, I sometimes can't see shet because of it

[fleet current]

Tie or no Tie for high cut

Can't decide

[odd cloud]

I don't even remember seeing one :/

[fleet current]

Maybe tie............?

[odd cloud]

Wait a sec

Thats a bit updated one, fixed 1-2 things

I personally like this best

[fleet current]

Thanks mang

[fleet current]

Maybe post in #modded-assets so it's not lost here forever

I wonder if this part of her skirt is removable

[odd cloud]

All one piece, but you can remove via PS etc. ofc

[fleet current]

Every time I have tried editing the png with photoshop, it leaves weird white gridlines

[odd cloud]

Not PS actually, Paint.net. PS creates artifacts for some reason

[fleet current]

could never figure out how to get rid of those

right

[odd cloud]

Yeah it simply doesn't work, paint.net it is.

[fleet current]

oh well, I'll leave it there

[small yoke]

players that play Dorothy+Crown+Cindy in the same team

[odd cloud]

Btw anything I need to do about this?

[odd cloud]

I mean I can understand Cindy considering it oblitirates the boss, but Dorothy... Literally looks like a nuke but it tickles lol

[small yoke]

do you have the textures or no?

[odd cloud]

Yeah I have

[small yoke]

do you see the error message after to run the script 7?

[restive vapor]

Yeah. She was my first SSR Limited Nikke I got. SHe had me bricked up fr.

[odd cloud]

Nope, this is all I can see

[odd cloud]

At least you got it

First time I spend all games was RRH and I couldn't even drop a single SSR

It was 30k gems so not that huge right now, but back than it was all I saved since beginning and it hurt ;(

[restive vapor]

In my case, I just downloaded the game, got a few pulls and somehow got her. Even in Bready's banner, I did it for the lols and got 2 Bready. But unfortunately, I didn't get another copy so couldn't LB her

[odd cloud]

I only get one nikke on first pull and it was red Asuka, never again ;(

[small yoke]

are you running the script 7 extracted right?

[restive vapor]

LOL

[odd cloud]

Yep

[small yoke]

that one should be saving the file to "Repacked"

[odd cloud]

Its working as intended for you right?

[small yoke]

yea, you have pillow btw? I think it comes with UnityPy installation

pip install pillow

[odd cloud]

Yeah "requirement already satisfied"

[odd cloud]

Maybe I should try reinstalling phyton?

[small yoke]

I use 3.13 so Idk if older versions are the same

[tribal shadow]

I like the subtle nipples peeking through ngl

[odd cloud]

I just reinstalled to 3.13 as well actually. Few days ago I installed something which also installed phyton, which probably fucked something in the meantime

I am gonna try a real deep cleaning and hope it helps

[odd cloud]

Sure I also, example 1-A lol - #modded-assets message

But usually thats the level I go. More than than feels out of place

[odd cloud]

Mfucker doesn't work

Actually I just realized that it creates an error message on 3rd step as well

This is 3rd step errors

C:\Users\User\Desktop\Tools\DOROPortraitSwapper\SkinBundle\922c2abba8636cb2007ccd15ab3d5fce.bundle needs manual processing
C:\Users\User\Desktop\Tools\DOROPortraitSwapper\DefaultBundle\c9ad21c2d91b8c79e2fe8f6b77c2d5d5.bundle needs manual processing

This is 7rd step error

C:\Users\User\Desktop\Tools\DOROPortraitSwapper\SkinBundle\922c2abba8636cb2007ccd15ab3d5fce.bundle needs manual processing

What I can't understand is why it works with character swapper, but doesn't work with portrait swapper...

[small yoke]

yea I think to have multiple Python versions can fuck the scripts... there is a way to set by default the version you want but I don't remember how, I asked chatgpt on that time

[small yoke]

NAU is decrypting the files right? run the scripts until the decryption and open the bundles with AssetStudio to see if they are decrypted

[scenic agate]

There are mechanisms for managing multiple versions of Python, such as pyenv and virtualenv.

[small yoke]

I think I used some old method with a .ini file on Windows folder or something

@jolly grove can you pin that post later? ☝️

[fallow arch]

MIRANDA????

NEON???????????????????????????????????????????

[polar wing]

anything that looks petite

so yeah

[sudden ore]

My alt account got bonked after sharing my liter mods lmao

[modern dagger]

[vale rover]

recommend using conda for handling venv's so much better than pythons built in manager

[odd cloud]

Nope I only have one version

[odd cloud]

Yep

This is how files look after running 3

Thats how it suppose to look?

[odd cloud]

Man I reinstalled whole stuff... net sdk, pythton, vs build tools... No difference

[small yoke]

the bundle and the texture are in the same folder?

[obsidian star]

we have uv

[obsidian star]

https://github.com/astral-sh/uv

[obsidian star]

conda sucks

compared to uv or poetry

if you have to use CI/CD with them on big repo you will see it's very slow

[odd cloud]

🤷‍♂️

[vale rover]

[wicked pivot]

anything is better than nothing and telling people to manually install every pip package 1 by 1 lol

[small yoke]

if the bundle and the texture end in the same folder there is something wrong

@odd cloud
https://chatgpt.com/share/67f94d47-3ec4-8008-9213-3b7cda6f635c

maybe it's the part about the antivirus blocking the files on temp folder, idk

[odd cloud]

I asked Deepseek to make errors easier to recognize to see where exactly the error is, and it said this

params must be an instance of BC7CompressBlockParams

I have no idea what BC7CompressBlockParams is, do you?

[small yoke]

I have no idea tbh
I only know that BC7 is a type of texture format (NIKKE textures format by default) but I think the scripts convert them to RGBA32 to avoid issues when the textures are reimported into the bundle

yea, I just verified that I made the script to use RGBA32 instead of BC7, I don't remember if portraits use BC7 tho

default textures format for portrait is BC7 too

[odd cloud]

Looks like something to do with that. Trying few things with deepseek

[small yoke]

maybe modifying the script to use the original texture format instead of RGBA32?

to use BC7 by default

[odd cloud]

New traceback, might be something to do with that?

Traceback: AttributeError: 'ClassIDType' object has no attribute 'name'. Did you mean: 'ne'?

After I adjusted script with deepseek's suggestion to handle BC7 stuff

[small yoke]

tell it to modify the script to use the same texture format than original instead to convert to RGBA32

Bingle repacker was set to use same format than raw texture but I modified the script to use RGBA32 for everything

I mean that is how I fixed textures problems for the character swapper

maybe that is why the character swapper works but the portrait swapper gives error

I just copy&paste the character swapper repacker to the portrait swapper

[odd cloud]

What I don't understand is why it doesn't give an error for you

Or idk for others, can someone try portrait swapper please

[small yoke]

someone on github told me about that error but I can't fix it because Idk what is the issue so far

[odd cloud]

I believe we can fix it, deepseek giving comments closer to bc7 and stuff so we should be close

[small yoke]

yea I guess to set the script to use BC7 instead will fix the issue

portraits textures in RGBA32 works for me when the scripts repack them like that so that's why that error never happened to me yet

[odd cloud]

But then again, why happens for me? Aren't we using same script?

[small yoke]

when you reinstalled everything you installed the 12GB of libraries for Microsoft C++ Build Tools right?

for Win11 I remember 12GB and 9GB for Win10

[odd cloud]

I followed your video tutorial.

These are the ones right?

[odd cloud]

When I ask DS to do it this is what it says...

BC7 is a compressed texture format that requires special handling which UnityPy doesn't fully support. By identifying and skipping these textures

[small yoke]

yeah when I made the video I think they were 12GB in total

and 9GB without Win11 stuff

if you use Win10

[odd cloud]

Nope, 11

[small yoke]

the checkboxes on top right are the required by default, then the one on bottom is what is needed for UnityPy iirc

[odd cloud]

Yeah thats how I did it

[small yoke]

yeah I remember to have a whole debate with chatgpt until I managed to make it understand to use the original source texture format instead

There is a way where the script can use BC7 without conversion.... I think

[odd cloud]

At this point I don't think neither I understand DS or DS understands me

[small yoke]

time to debate with chatgpt again
