[valid moon]

forgor if discussion or questions

im on mobile

[opal escarp]

Thx !let me try later

By the way, does this apply to Blance or Noir~
#modded-assets message

[void pond]

it's for MLB Blanc

[opal escarp]

Ok!thanks ~

[void pond]

[dapper bolt]

does the traditional way of pathing still works?

btw Anyone has Helm mod?

[tulip lagoon]

Not for skin mods

[final leaf]

u will find all the mods including Helm mods in #modded-assets

[dapper bolt]

YeYeah, but when I'm in, it auto updates.

[dapper bolt]

Why does when I mod lobbies, it updates and lost?

[dapper bolt]

not many I found for the default skin.

[ocean rune]

So.. i made my first mod, but how i can post it around?

[final leaf]

ask a mod to give u the role

@tulip lagoon

[minor lion]

im confused my mods were working just fine yesterday now they arent applying wtf

fixed it XD

[dapper bolt]

Does the files that doesn't have any specfiic numbers work in NMM?

[minor lion]

what files do you mean

[dapper bolt]

The ones that NMM lists as N/A

[minor lion]

is that the new NMM

[dapper bolt]

new?

[minor lion]

the .13?

[dapper bolt]

how to check for the version sir?

[minor lion]

does yours have these options?

[dapper bolt]

I guess not, Looks like it's the 0.12

[dapper bolt]

Yeah, I don't have the Fix Physics.

so, how to update it?

[minor lion]

#modded-assets message

[dapper bolt]

Thanks, that solves alot.

[tulip lagoon]

Post a preview here

[dapper bolt]

Did anyone has a problem opening the cover/aim model?

[ocean rune]

I did, to fix it i just used 0.12 of nmm and worked fine for me

[ocean rune]

here, it's a pretty simple mod, just a swap of Mary skin over normal Mary (i made for personal use but i thought someone else could want it)

[tulip lagoon]

aight you can post em now

[ocean rune]

oh that it's a relief for a second i thought it wasn't permited to do mod swaps anymore

[cinder wave]

Does anyone know how to repackage the game files to work in lo viewer

[dapper bolt]

oh yeah, that's good.

[ocean rune]

i also made the Folkwang swap now

[mild matrix]

I was of the impression that we shouldn’t be posting swaps for skins that are available for purchase

[ocean rune]

As someone who lives in a third world country, it is unfeasible to buy skins, spending 8% of a minimum wage on a game skin is a complicated thing to do..

[ocean rune]

but i think i'll to the swaps for the skins that was given for free but aren't avaliable anymore (ex: Pink Yuni skin, Rapi classic vacation etc)

[tulip lagoon]

i'd like to question the name of the file @ocean rune

[ocean rune]

hm what you want to know? i'm noob at modding too tbh

[void pond]

He meant We need to be more careful and not post paid skin swaps too much because there was a posibility that those swaps were the reason why ShiftUp killed mods previously

[tulip lagoon]

oh that's not what i was asking but sure

i think it would be an easy fix because i'm probably 10x worse than u at modding

i just wanna make sure i extract it to the right place

i've literally never done anything like this before

[ocean rune]

To be honest i organize my folders like this
(my mods/tools folder>(a folder name with the character name)>(and 3 folders, A = Aim, S = Stand, C = Cover) and follow the VolumeSimp name sheet

[tulip lagoon]

anything regarding the game is default 4 me

does that help at all?

[ocean rune]

i think so to be honest would be better for you use the pinned tutorial on googledocs

[tulip lagoon]

how does this work

i'm curious

if you make a folder with the character name does it automatically attach to the game character

does it depend on where the folder is

i've checked all the game files i cant find any character/ skin names.

this is the kinda thing that confuses me

[ocean rune]

you can use nmm (Nikke mod manager)

[tulip lagoon]

u sure this isn't a virus?

do u use it?

or have it?

[final leaf]

not sure what exactly u mean, are u trying to create a mod? or trying to use a mod made by others?

[tulip lagoon]

no

[ocean rune]

i'm using it, but you can also use mods without it i think

[tulip lagoon]

unvani made a mod that i'm trying to download

[ocean rune]

i can send you the mods with the names right so you can check if it works without nmm

[tulip lagoon]

which one of these do i use @ocean rune

[ocean rune]

you can download it on the GoogleDocs modding tutorial that it's pinned

[tulip lagoon]

what do u mean it's pinned?

what's pinned

it's pinned to the googledocs modding tutorial?

[final leaf]

the google doc is pinned

and the nmm is linked in the doc

is what he meant

[ocean rune]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DIhn_XsvG9qBpTln7WoaRolq7VdFoDFKR5R103P_FkM/ this one, it's pinned on the discord server

[tulip lagoon]

guys i'm so sorry i told u i'm bad at this

[ocean rune]

nah chill, everyone got start from somewhere

[tulip lagoon]

start from trying to download a stupid lewd art piece for a questionably lewd game lmao

[ocean rune]

yeah, it's a start atleast lol

[tulip lagoon]

ok do i download the whole thing

or the first option? or the second ?3rd?

referring to this

[ocean rune]

i downloaded my nmm from this google docs here

[tulip lagoon]

should i download all of these?

[final leaf]

not unless u want to make mods by urself

[ocean rune]

since you only want use mods, just the NMM it's what you need

[tulip lagoon]

ok so click everything?

[final leaf]

just the number 4

[tulip lagoon]

oh shit

im dumb

just to make sure @ocean rune is number 4 the exact file u used to download this thing?

[final leaf]

also detailed instruction on how to install a mod is written in the guide as well, check that chapter

[tulip lagoon]

yeah

@ocean rune?

[ocean rune]

yup

[tulip lagoon]

k im quite skeptical because ik that i'm clueless here

sorry about that

[ocean rune]

i had to download it twice bcs i downloaded the nmm 0.12 first them had to update it for 0.13

[ocean rune]

chill i also thought this was weird as heck when it was released

[final leaf]

u can still use nmm v0.12 if u want. o.13 is needed only if u have a mod that changes physics/animation as well

[ocean rune]

wdym? you got a virus on your pc lol?

[ocean rune]

yeah i was using it tbh

[echo dagger]

You can change physics with 0.12, just got to do some manual file replacing as well

[void pond]

true

[dapper bolt]

Although I understood what you mean, but coming from a country where:
A. You can buy literally a week's worth of food for the price of a happy meal
B. The same food is considered luxury/pretentious
c. Has the highest mortage costs in the world
Spending 20 bucks for a .gif that I can't even resell is really, really dumb.

[icy ledge]

can we use the 0.13 now or will there be update soon?

[dapper bolt]

It's good now.

[final leaf]

just don't press "fix physics" button

[tulip lagoon]

why is he timed out

[icy ledge]

mainly wanna use it for burst animations

[void pond]

yeah you can use 0.13 if you put this file in your mod folder before to open your game

and click apply physics fix

on NMM

[tulip lagoon]

wtf was he typing bruh , people these days

[icy ledge]

thx

[final leaf]

wuh happened?

who timed out?

[void pond]

[tulip lagoon]

this beevus guy typed some dumb shit

well see him in 24h

[void pond]

He said if his account starts to post weird stuff it was not him, it was some virus

[echo dagger]

Lol

[tulip lagoon]

ye ye saw the logs

[void pond]

F

[final leaf]

rip

[void pond]

[void pond]

[icy ledge]

here?

[void pond]

yup

[icy ledge]

[void pond]

remember to click this after that

[icy ledge]

apply mods than fix physics or dosent matter?

[void pond]

yeah click apply mods and fix physics

[icy ledge]

won't effect anything if i press it twice?

[void pond]

That file I sent is the physics file with no modded physics

[void pond]

I think no

[fresh gust]

Tried reading through pins and recents - I assume vanilla skin swap mods have not been updated?

I seem to recall there was a GOAT before who always updated them at every patch

[tulip lagoon]

skin swap is the same as repacking but changing the file name inside skel iirc

[mild matrix]

Then don’t buy the skin? No one is saying you have to buy the skin

[icy ledge]

tbh idk wut im doing wrong to make mlb works

[tulip lagoon]

tbh. for shiftup it doesnt really matter. If its free , own creation or paid skin. they dont want it period so just post whatever paid free custom all fine

[mild matrix]

[dapper bolt]

Not many games allow mods, at least on mobile.

[echo dagger]

well what we're doing here isn't exactly allowed either

[dapper bolt]

Correct.

[slow fiber]

Where should I put the file mod in android?

I mean loby mod

[void pond]

Android\data\com.proximabeta.nikke\files\UnityCache\Shared

Then from there you need to find the folder name where the mod goes

with this list: https://bit.ly/NikkeFilenames

[whole knoll]

is bugs mega link still the one in the pins? #modded-assets message

[minor lion]

anyone got a good program for videoing my screen for mod previews? the one i have cant keep up with my pc and game specs

it literally looks like shit

[final leaf]

did u try OBS?

[minor lion]

obs?

[final leaf]

its a screen recorder / streaming software

[minor lion]

ill have to look into it is it free?

[toxic crypt]

it doesn't have it

but yes, link is in his pins

[final leaf]

yes

[minor lion]

i dont remember who reccomended it to me but thank you whoever reccommended that everything program it finds files quick af

[echo dagger]

🙂

[toxic crypt]

"Everything"?

yeah, it's peak

[minor lion]

i believe it was you....thank you

[torpid bane]

do you guys still use asset studio for the unity folder ? ( not aeb )

the folder is getting so big my asset studio takes 12gb of ram and crashes

I downloaded UABEA but it seems to only load 1 file per 1 and seems more focused for aeb

[void pond]

I gave up to try to load the whole Unity folder there a long time ago

[torpid bane]

I'll probably gonna make a script that splits the entire folder into chunks of 2000 folders . it's getting quite physically impossible to load this shit

[void pond]

now I try to find what I need from the json files or dropping some files one by one on UABEA

[void pond]

you know a way to load Unity folder per parts?

[torpid bane]

just copy 2000 folders into a subfolder . load the subfolder

so asset studio will work with 2000 items ( less than eb I think it's around 2700 )

if what I'm looking for isn't in the subfolder I'll load subfolder 2

could be tedious, but if the load is fast I could open 5/6 asset studio, each on a different subfolder and it'll be as fast as before

[void pond]

interesting method, I'll try that next time I need to find something missing in the json names

[torpid bane]

my windows is having a hard time doing this manually

I'll have to see if making a script could be any faster

I'll share the script here probably

but afaik y'all have that file finder right

[void pond]

true, they use that and I still use manual search on Notepad++

[torpid bane]

crap even chunks of 2000 is slow. why is their game soo filled with random duplicated files it's making everything shitty

I've been on it for 45 minutes just to grab 3 files

[void pond]

aeb folder can still be loaded on AssetStudio at least

[toxic crypt]

I use the addressables for files

especially when I only have 12GBs of ram to work with

[torpid bane]

yeah I know this method exists since release, though most people found out about it this month it seems.

[void pond]

me surviving with my 8GB

[torpid bane]

but I find it to be such a shitty way to work

[toxic crypt]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/971829532258615306.webp?size=48&quality=lossless&name=BASED

[toxic crypt]

you could just go with batches each time

[torpid bane]

I just tried

[toxic crypt]

200-500 folders at a time

[torpid bane]

I made chunks of 2000 and asset studio still take ten years to load them

the devs broke the shaders files and it's killing asset studio

[toxic crypt]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/956064992543797298.webp?size=48&quality=lossless&name=shrug~1

also _lock files exist for no reason

[void pond]

those files are deleted when you close the game right?

I see them appear when the game is running

[torpid bane]

I dropped my entire adress table onto a1ter website and it's lagging a ton lol

[toxic crypt]

should be

I guess they exist not to f%ck around with the files live

[torpid bane]

the adress table seems to be only for modding characters erf

wasted some time

I want goldencoinrush files

I'll have to go the old way I guess

[vague lark]

The folder is like a database, opening a file creates a lock metadata

The info file is also db level metadata

[toxic crypt]

I meant using jsons
not the tool

I haven't used a tool for long

[torpid bane]

yeah well

there are 1100 json

how would I browse them without the tool

[toxic crypt]

manually lmao

they are grouped by type anyway

that's how tool works

[torpid bane]

welp that'll do

I can load stuff I know exist but damn now it's impossible to browse files you don't know exists

[toxic crypt]

well could be worse, like not everything that is in catalog.json (game folder) matches with com.addressables (which are correct ones)

and it pisses me off a bit

[torpid bane]

hopefully it's just an issue with this patch

because both eb and unity are breaking asset studio, they did something to shader files

and I wouldn't be surprised if 1500 shaders sending errors would provoke memory leakage or other stuff causing the unity to be impossible to load

[toxic crypt]

for me it was breaking often

I think it will be half a year now

maybe more

[torpid bane]

I could load last week patchs just fine

just took some time but it worked

now it's breaking for me and even people with 32gb of ram

@toxic crypt do you use my spine viewer ? imma add a tool to my l2d and idk if I should bother adding it for the custom spine loader

seems you're the only modder online atm

[toxic crypt]

spine viewer?

which one?

planning to add a way to export a gif or sth?

[torpid bane]

nikke db

[toxic crypt]

sometimes

when i need to export a high res image

[torpid bane]

imma add the option to play any animations and do the talking animation as well

idk if other spine viewers do it

[toxic crypt]

basically this? cool

[torpid bane]

hmm

honestly I don't know

I'm using tracks but I have to create one myself

do you have 6 tracks by default for your assets? what are they

[toxic crypt]

those are skeletonViewer's defaults

nothing is on them till I open a skeleton and put animations on them

[torpid bane]

ah

well from what I understood I'll keep my animation as track 0 and put the talking on track 1 and play both

but if you tell me that's already doable on other softwares I won't bother unless it works on the go for custom assets

[toxic crypt]

1-5 are off till I chose an animation

Yes, it meshes two animations together

can go whacky sometimes

Reason why we don't add to existing animations

[torpid bane]

yeah well I only wanted to make a talk_start toggle

I guess the feature goes crazy when you have arm animations, leg animations, head etc and you merge and stitch what you want

instead of full body animations

[toxic crypt]

can't stich stuff unless you have Spine Pro

which sucks

[torpid bane]

when I mean stitch uhh

leg animation on track 0, head on track 1, arm on track 2

[toxic crypt]

separate animations for each mesh?

yeah

anyway, I am saving this beauty

[torpid bane]

is that not just the base surprise face

[toxic crypt]

yup

[torpid bane]

[swift zephyr]

Why i can't load the texture ?
It's not like this before

[scarlet vapor]

can any1 guide me with spine web player, I'm can't even run the sample assets

[final leaf]

nikke-db?

https://nikke-db.pages.dev/visualiser

[granite lodge]

i can't decrypt files, help please

[fervent spoke]

V11

[final leaf]

there is a lot of characters and skins on the left, so you just type the name of the character you want in the name text and those will show up

on the right, you will see a lot of tools

the Aim, Cover, and standing options will show u those respective poses of the character

HQ Assets = High Quality Asset. if you press that button, it will become LQ Asset = Low Quality Asset

lets, say you zoomed in too much or moved the character, now you want to change it back to what it was previously, in that case, press "Reset"

"Hide UI" button to hide everything on the website except of the character and the background, so you can take a better screenshot

[granite lodge]

does that mean i need to update NAU? im using the v0-55

[final leaf]

background color will let u choose the color of the background, but in hexadecimal, so you have to look for a color on the internet, and then find it's hexadecimal code, copy it and then paste it int he background color option in the nikke-db site

the "background image" option will let u use any image you want to upload as the background

"background image pack" is a link to a online file sharing site (mega) which has all the background that exist in the game

"Export" option will let u export the currently selected animation in .webm format, its a video file

the "colored" option is if you want to see the background color when you are exporting. if you click on it, it will change to "transparent", in that case you will be able to "export" without background

then screenshot icon, will let you take a screenshot/static image of the current frame of the animation

the settings icon will let you choose your desired resolution/quality of the screenshot

finally, there is the "Custome Spine Loader" which will let you see any character + its animation that you upload. For this, you need to upload a texture file (.png) a skel file (.skel or .txt format) and an atlas file (.atlas / .txt format). You can simply drag and drop the files on their corresponding file chooser. You can/will also have to upload multiple texture file if your character has multiple texture

depending on the asset, you will have to choose "Use Spine 4.1" or "Use Spine4.0". Nikke uses 4.1 so that is the default.

Pre Multiplied Alpha is the transparency type the texture file has. can't say much about it, you need to google this term urself
Default animation "idle" is incase the character you are uploading has multiple animation and you want the idle animation to be shown as default or not. Just keep this as true since you can change the animation later anyway after the character is loaded

click on "Load the custome assets" and then on "Close moal" button you will be able to see your uploaded character

[final leaf]

if your mod has straight type transparency or pre multiplied alpha type transparency, and you need to convert to the other, go to the "alpha converter" tab in this modal and upload ur texture file according to what you have and want to change it to

[scarlet vapor]

oh I was actually talking about this https://github.com/Nikke-db/spine-web-player-template

I dunno there's a web for that now

[void pond]

extract the folder inside this rar and move it in your NAU "keys" folder
These are the new keys for the current version

#1041207949508497548 message

[scarlet vapor]

I'll just use the web then, thanks @final leaf

[final leaf]

that has its own set of instructions, I dun use that so can't say. @torpid bane can help since he made it

[scarlet vapor]

I just looking at pin in #1041207949508497548 and found that, didn't know there's a web ver of it

[granite lodge]

wow thank you so much

[indigo geyser]

#modded-assets message how do i do this do i rename the file i downloaded to _data

[final leaf]

__data, yes. without changing the name to that, u can't really replace anything with a name like data_tits

[indigo geyser]

was just curious cause i thought it was a file i needed to open or smth haha

also just realized i dont have Ram i believe

[dapper bolt]

Does anyone has the mods applied, but it doesn't work?

[pallid sentinel]

heyoo

i forgotm where to find files

i need help

[scarlet vapor]

is there a way to import asset?

[minor lion]

?

[scarlet vapor]

I was trying to make drake swap skin, her racing skin got 2 texture 2d

[minor lion]

the guide said something about 2 texture2ds

i dont remember

[scarlet vapor]

thats why I'm asking a way to do it

since the 00 don't have 2 texture2d assets

[minor lion]

i know how to add an asset to a bundle but idk if it works on NIKKE

[scarlet vapor]

what tools u use

[minor lion]

no tools its all from uabea

[scarlet vapor]

then how u import the assets

[minor lion]

let me finish my dallies and ill try to explain but again idk if it works on NIKKE

[scarlet vapor]

sure

[torpid bane]

the template is pretty easy to use but lacks feature

the good thing about it isnyou can save your mods and browse it instead of manually loading 1 by 1

but other than that I should re code everything else

[minor lion]

oh a mod viewer?

is it gui?

i could def use that to test my mods if its gui im not very techie saavy

[torpid bane]

nikke db has more features for checking your mods out, but the template can easily save them. try both and keep thr one you prefer

[minor lion]

could you tell me the features of your viewer? im currently in the middle of my dailies (thanks to a tornado that knocked my power out for 12+ hours) if not ill check the link out later

[torpid bane]

Lady made a super detailled tutorial about 30 messages above

[swift zephyr]

I always use your website to preview my mods. Much better than spine wpf 👍

[scarlet vapor]

Stuck modding drake, the docs not helping in this case, need help

[final leaf]

what's the issue u facing?

[scarlet vapor]

so I'm trying to swap drake racing skin

the racing skin got 2 image

[swift zephyr]

As far i know, drake racing have 2 texture mainwhile the OG drake only have 1 texture

[scarlet vapor]

yes

[swift zephyr]

You need spine pro

[minor lion]

i think its just a swap not a modded outfit

[swift zephyr]

I think A1teri already swap them.
Just repack his mod

[valid moon]

cant u just swap the strings

instead of textures and shit

[swift zephyr]

Aah you can do that too

I forgot 🗿

[valid moon]

brawh

hold on let me try

racing skin is 01 right

[scarlet vapor]

can you help me with that

yea

I'm new with these

want to try to do stuff rather than having the final product

[swift zephyr]

It's good to learn

[minor lion]

bruh if we can just swap strings that would be so much better wont have to swap voices etc

[lament aurora]

It doesnt work for voices

[minor lion]

of course not -_-

[lament aurora]

It technically can but I dont have the will to test it out

I remember opening a voice file and seeing 100+ first string

[swift zephyr]

Bruh 100+ strings

https://tenor.com/view/skeleton-gif-26826812

[valid moon]

ok drake just goes invisible whenever i try to do it

[scarlet vapor]

can u help me swapping drake @lament aurora

[valid moon]

oh wait

i had an old drake file in my mods folder

🗿

[swift zephyr]

Lol

[lament aurora]

On what way?

[valid moon]

her racing skin has 2 textures but base has 1

[lament aurora]

I remember using bugsbunnay modified drake

To bypass the 1 texture

[swift zephyr]

I thought you need spine pro to bypass that.
Like harran skin

[lament aurora]

It does

Bugs has spine pro

[swift zephyr]

Oh i see

[valid moon]

im guessing he swapped the first strings

im tryna do that with drake rn

[lament aurora]

Never really got to try that op swapping method

[valid moon]

ez

how do you extend the borders

[lament aurora]

No clue

[valid moon]

rip

only half the car is shown

[mild matrix]

buy the skin

[valid moon]

that'll make the base drake wider?

🗿

[mild matrix]

[valid moon]

mernnnn

[scarlet vapor]

oh

how did u do that

all in one texture?

[swift zephyr]

There is tutorial swaping skin with just changing the strings code

[valid moon]

no i just rerouted her skin to go to her base

[scarlet vapor]

where's the tutorial for that

[lament aurora]

The one ushiro did for burst

[valid moon]

skin swapping method for the ones that have multiple textures

[lament aurora]

Its the same method

[valid moon]

@tulip lagoon PIN

[tulip lagoon]

pretty please

[scarlet vapor]

ah okay thanks

I'll try it

[minor lion]

does the reloading speed change for the character?

like if i would do that but a character swap

[valid moon]

that kind of stuff is part of the game code and not the assets

so no

[scarlet vapor]

thanks for the help

it works

too bad the border is small

[mild matrix]

You need to put this description in the pinned message

otherwise it just shows as a random video and isn't helpful to anyone

or insert a title frame in the video or something

[final leaf]

I didn't download either of them to check, so just asking, what's the difference between urs and this one? since urs seems to be 8.73MB while this one 2.19MB

[echo dagger]

compressed or not?

[final leaf]

did u use spinepro instead of the change string thing? since urs shows the entire car while their's don't

wait, u didn't have to delete it, I'm sure people will like urs more since it shows the full car

I'm just curious about the size

[mellow sun]

This file was previously downloaded and I forget who made it.

[final leaf]

aah I see

I'm guessing bunny

[mellow sun]

It's already compressed.

[upbeat lodge]

How do I download mods? I already have the mod manager downloaded

[tulip lagoon]

Pick the right ones from #modded-assets

[upbeat lodge]

Then what?

Do they just appear on the mod manager?

[tulip lagoon]

Put em inside the mods folder

[upbeat lodge]

What mod folder?

[sullen horizon]

i cant find eb anywhere

[sullen horizon]

whats the mod manager??

[tulip lagoon]

inside NMM folder

[tulip lagoon]

brother

that msg is like almost 2years

there is a new way of modding now

#modded-assets message

use this tool

[upbeat lodge]

I don't have a folder

[tulip lagoon]

did you extract the NMM ?

[upbeat lodge]

I think it might be because I only got the installer

I'm extracting it now

Now that I have them in folder do I just reset nikke?

[tulip lagoon]

close the game completly , launcher too

click all the mods you want

press -> apply mods

wait for fis to download and then you can start the game

[upbeat lodge]

What download?

[final leaf]

nmm will handle it, dun worry

u just have to press the apply mod button after selecting all the mods that u want

[upbeat lodge]

Ok

[sullen horizon]

so how do i use it

[tulip lagoon]

check the pins in here , Lady made a wonderful guide explaining step by step

[sullen horizon]

this looks like its for pc not android

[echo dagger]

android currently not supported by nmm

[final leaf]

lmao, gotta remove that "not"

[upbeat lodge]

Still doesn't show for some reason

[final leaf]

could u please send a screenshot of what u see when u open the NMM?

[minor lion]

well the sd models still arent

[final leaf]

yea, that's why there is "except"

[minor lion]

oh i read it wrong the first time XD

[scarlet vapor]

fixing the sound for the car if anyone interested

[icy ledge]

are we getting 0.14 any time soon btw?

[toxic crypt]

no need for it

[dapper bolt]

I remembered what those N/As arre

they are fucking A2 skins that aren't name replaced.

[dapper bolt]

How to rename them?

[echo dagger]

just rename them in the same format as your other mods, just make sure you name the standing/cover/aim files correctly

you'll also need a2's character code

[hushed bane]

can someone help me find seireiko's mega link?

[final leaf]

I can only share the free mods he shared with the release of nmm, anything after that, u will have to ask him urself
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1LBuHz0h8NClJZwIlGYoK75xnU_kWJfvW?usp=sharing

[hushed bane]

thank you soo much i just wanted the naga mod

[scarlet vapor]

can any1 help me with this

[echo dagger]

huh

[final leaf]

wuh happened to the beautiful bunny rupee

[scarlet vapor]

it run fine in the nikke db web

[final leaf]

what did u do?

[scarlet vapor]

I just want to swap a mod skin to the normal skin

it works fine with other mod

[final leaf]

did u change the name in the atlas.txt to match the name of the skin you are replacing (in this case, the default)?

[scarlet vapor]

yes

[final leaf]

I mean open the atlast.txt with notepad

[echo dagger]

and it has to be the skin's atlas

[scarlet vapor]

it just the same right?

[echo dagger]

then you imported it?

[scarlet vapor]

yea I'm using the skin's atlas

[final leaf]

share the file

[scarlet vapor]

I did this so many time, only this one problematic

[echo dagger]

are the aim and cover's the same?

like the weird rainbow glitch

[scarlet vapor]

aim and cover are from different author

they work fine

[scarlet vapor]

I don't think I can share it since its not free

[final leaf]

oh

[scarlet vapor]

thanks for the intend

maybe I'll try to modify the text from notepad

[scarlet vapor]

I usually modify it in here

should I rename the file too before importing it?

[echo dagger]

yea

[valid moon]

how tf did this shit happen

i never seen that before

also i already have a rupee skin swap in my mega so you dont have to

[scarlet vapor]

idk lol

no this is from an author, not swapping

[final leaf]

even a old modder never saw that issue...damn

[scarlet vapor]

I'm trying to swap the author's mod to the base skin

the author's mod work fine by itself

[valid moon]

the regular rename stuff + atlas doesnt work?

try doing it on notepad instead of uabea

[scarlet vapor]

I'm trying the web way now

[valid moon]

fuck if only my wifi wasnt down i probably could help better

fuck xfinity

[final leaf]

wdym? the web has a way to swap skins...?

[valid moon]

what web

[scarlet vapor]

the doc I mean

[final leaf]

oh, what way did u try before?

[scarlet vapor]

making mod section basically can be used for swapping skin right

[final leaf]

yea

[echo dagger]

oh I see what you were trying to do now

[final leaf]

that, or the repacking old mod, both works

[valid moon]

oh shit internet back lfg

[final leaf]

• modify the name after opening the atlas.txt of the skin before importing it onto the base skin

[valid moon]

can u send me the mod

ill try it myself

[final leaf]

paid mod

[valid moon]

oh shit

can u send me the mod

[scarlet vapor]

I do basically the same, the different is I'm modifying the file in the assets info rather than in the notepad

[final leaf]

[scarlet vapor]

and I don't rename the file I export at all

for swapping

other mod swap works fine without renaming it so I don't do it

[valid moon]

its probably better and faster if you just do it on notepad

[scarlet vapor]

I just prefer it this way

wait a bit, I'm cooking

nope still same

even if I modify it in notepad

[valid moon]

try swapping the first strings

[scarlet vapor]

and rename stuffs

that is my last effort

hold up

[valid moon]

it could be an image format

[scarlet vapor]

I actually have another mod that not working

I can share that one

can u try it for me

[valid moon]

whats the format of the mod ur swapping

[scarlet vapor]

the result is same like this

[valid moon]

check on the top left of assetstudio

[scarlet vapor]

sec

oh

it actually broken in assetstudio

[valid moon]

oh i forgot

i did see that before

its the width

and height

image size

rescale the image to 2048x2048

should work

[scarlet vapor]

but the original mod is fine tho?

[valid moon]

its a problem with nikke

[final leaf]

the base skin isn't made for such dimension most likely

[scarlet vapor]

I see

can you help me how to resize it

[valid moon]

image editor

[final leaf]

maybe photoshop

yea

[valid moon]

i recommend pixlr.com/x/

its online

[scarlet vapor]

uh

can u guide me, I'm rarely open this kind of stuff

lol

sorry

[valid moon]

https ://pixlr.com/express/

open image

click crop

image size

set width to 2048

or height pixlr scales it automatically

[scarlet vapor]

ok pray for the best

[valid moon]

yerp

[scarlet vapor]

ok it looks normal in assetstudio

[valid moon]

ez

[scarlet vapor]

I'll try compress it now

it's working but there're some weird artifact in the skin

this is the swapped one

this is the author's mod

it just as an example, there're a lot of it in different area

maybe it will back to normal if I modify the atlas file

[valid moon]

oh

right you need to convert to straight first

then upscale

@scarlet vapor

new transparent pixels fuck up pma ofc

[scarlet vapor]

how to convert it

[valid moon]

nikke db has alpha converters

straight alpha first then pma

[scarlet vapor]

em

so I convert to straight > resize it > convert to pma?

[valid moon]

yar

[scarlet vapor]

should I change the value in atlas too?

[valid moon]

uh probably

just to be safe

actually it looked fine without changing the atlas first

so you probably dont have to

[final leaf]

included this troubleshoot to the guide

[scarlet vapor]

it still there @valid moon

[valid moon]

wharrr

wait

did you convert the old image

or the one you already resized

[scarlet vapor]

yes the original one

[valid moon]

brawh

[scarlet vapor]

hmm I'll try it again just in case it's my mistake

[valid moon]

it should work

[scarlet vapor]

ok let me cook again

[scarlet vapor]

nop it still there lol

@valid moon

[valid moon]

well shit

idk

if you send me the mod i could try it myself later

[eternal plume]

is this fastest way to do a swap skin mod?

[valid moon]

i think so

though repacking it would be a little more tedious

[eternal plume]

lets me try with naked king

[valid moon]

with the conventional method you can just extract the stuff and put it in the new file

changing the strings require redoing the entire process with new files

[eternal plume]

Do I need to deactivate the mod when the game has a new update?

[valid moon]

no just click apply

[coarse ermine]

does NMM not work if i've redirected my nikke game files using something like nikke toolbox? do i have to restore the original filepaths for it to work properly?

[final leaf]

no

it works

I use nikke toolbox as well

[coarse ermine]

okay, thank you. Also, is it normal that the current hosted nmm is 0.12? i could've sworn it was 0.13 a few days ago.

[final leaf]

the 0.13 is facing some issues with the physics file, so its recommended to use v0.12 now until the newer version is released

[scarlet vapor]

@valid moon I did it lol

I don't convert anything at all

damn finally can start modding in peace again

[final leaf]

wait what fixed the issue then?

it was there after and before conversion

[scarlet vapor]

the solution was very simple

the original rupee have BC7 texture format

author's bunny rupee have RGBA32 texture format

[valid moon]

so it was image format too 🗿

[final leaf]

noice

[scarlet vapor]

when I swap, I change the texture format in the original rupee and load the image

the original texture from the author's one

without converting and readjust

time to move on

I've never encounter texture format problem even after around 12 skins swapped, this one took me like hours to troubleshoot

[final leaf]

learning the hard way makes it most memorable

happy modding

[scarlet vapor]

ikr

thanks for the help guys, really appreciate it

[valid moon]

nikke modding so miserable

[scarlet vapor]

I'm just glad at least this game still moddable

[eternal plume]

Is there a place like a database to see all the cutscene as well as the skin of each nikke, guys?

Like the destiny child database from before?

[valid moon]

nikke db

[scarlet vapor]

maybe it's better to pin the link

[final leaf]

wait is there cutscenes in nikke-db?

[valid moon]

cutscenes nah

but lobby and characters are in nikke db

and sd models

[final leaf]

https://nikke-db.pages.dev/visualiser

[scarlet vapor]

maybe future update

[final leaf]

cutscenes in this game are just video files right? then maybe its possible to include in the nikke-db

since there is already a gallery
https://nikke-db.pages.dev/gallery

[valid moon]

well we cant get old cutscenes

nikke deletes those

plus the cutscenes are uploaded to youtube anyways

[final leaf]

[valid moon]

by other people

[eternal plume]

thank you

no cutscene is better than nothing

[valid moon]

what

oh

nvm

just search the cutscenes on youtube

[torpid bane]

cutscenes aren't deleted in the game files

they are never downloaded either

they are streamed

[eternal plume]

how about skill cutscene

just like cutscene right?

[torpid bane]

I think it's easier for them to do it this way than generate x video dubs * Y language subs . it's better to match a .mp4 and sub file for each language

skill cutscenes are spine + png + audio + spine effects ( still not sure what those are ) + unity 3d effects

[scarlet vapor]

make sense

[coarse ermine]

sorry to bother y'all again, but i tried and followed the really helpful guide Lady posted on google docs and i can't get the Mary mod to work, anything i might be missing?

i've unzipped the rar into a folder and placed it in the nmm-0.12-portable\mods folder
, made sure that theres a mod folder in NIKKE\NIKKE\Game\nikke_Data\StreamingAssets\aa\StandaloneWindows64
activated the mod and applied it, waiting for nmm to finish downloading the fixes and giving the all clear

booted up the game, making sure my settings are High

and yet Mary still looks the same

mod folder path looks like this

and the NIKKE\NIKKE\nikke_Data path looks like this

[tulip lagoon]

whats inside the folder

[scarlet vapor]

u don't put folder inside mods folder

u put the file

[tulip lagoon]

yep

[scarlet vapor]

and a mod folder inside standalonewindows64 is generated when u select game path in NMM

u don't create it urself

and u don't need to put the bunnymommymary folder again

[coarse ermine]

like this then?

[scarlet vapor]

yes

delete the mods folder in standalonewindows64

run NMM

select game path

[valid moon]

why

[scarlet vapor]

he make it himself, not generated from nmm

[valid moon]

oh

[coarse ermine]

this needs to be changed in the instructions then

[valid moon]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1041207949508497548/1185341617574531193/mod.gif?ex=658f4268&is=657ccd68&hm=9d87277d7fa0af8d6f2b6631e2416a1ed96fc45490f2e4532c150f531a83145e&

[valid moon]

thats the mods folder in nmm

[scarlet vapor]

I don't read from there about nmm so idk

[tulip lagoon]

w/e is written in the readme / tutorial of the mod manager is 100% correct

[valid moon]

[scarlet vapor]

is it from the doc?

I mean the tutorial

[coarse ermine]

yes

[scarlet vapor]

I see

well just do what I type before

[coarse ermine]

i didnt see a mods folder created which is why i made one myself just as the instructions mentioned

[valid moon]

ok that one is lady’s fault

[scarlet vapor]

yea

[tulip lagoon]

only thing you had to read was the mod manager's tutorial

[scarlet vapor]

lol

[valid moon]

real

[scarlet vapor]

after u select game path, now u check standalonewindows64

there should be a shortcut mod folder

[coarse ermine]

i see it now, thanks

[tulip lagoon]

but the mods should work now

[scarlet vapor]

@final leaf

[valid moon]

its harder to make a symlink yourself than to have nmm do it for you

should say make mods folder in nmm instead

nmm should also make the mods folder for you but

better to have ur mods installed before opening it

[coarse ermine]

they do now, thanks everyone!

[scarlet vapor]

first mod he use is maid mary

based

[valid moon]

maid?

[scarlet vapor]

whoops

bunny

brain rot too much modding

[final leaf]

ah fk, my bad, correcting it now

[final leaf]

this ok now?

[valid moon]

usually you wouldnt have to check that

if nikke and nmm is installed on ur c drive

just add that part in troubleshooting

make sure nmm and nikke are on the same drive

and if they’re in a usb make sure the usb format isnt fat32

otherwise nmm wont make a symlink

[dapper bolt]

Damn, I wwas searching for this, thanks alot.

[limpid slate]

Can someone help me find a crown skin swap to her Gacha skin? i've looked but the one's i've seen make some sort of modification to the gacha skin, and I don't really like them.

[valid moon]

:c

[swift zephyr]

How about swaping them for youself ?

There is tutorial in the pin how to do that.

[limpid slate]

Oh there is? I can't see it in the pin.

[final leaf]

the 2nd pin from top in this thread

[limpid slate]

Oh yeah I see it, I thought was talking about the main channel.

[final leaf]

follow either the character mod or repacking old mod method. coz skin swap follow most of the steps from those, and u will have to change the character code within atlas.txt, the one u will be importing

[limpid slate]

Wow, these are a lot of words.

How long is this gonna take to learn?

[final leaf]

...10 to 30mins...? depends on u

wait u dun have to read everything...just read the section that u need

[swift zephyr]

It took me 1 hour to figure out when my first time to do swaping 💀

[final leaf]

well as long as u got what u need, nothing wrong with taking time

[limpid slate]

Alright, this doesn't seem as complicated as I thought it would be now that I'm actually reading it.

[final leaf]

if u do find anything to be complicated, lemme know what to do to make it simple. the guide is supposed to help even newbies with 0 modding experience

[limpid slate]

Bro i'm gonna need a third monitor to organize this.

[dapper bolt]

anyone has mods for Maiden and Novel?

[final leaf]

any and all mods that people are sharing are in #modded-assets

there are also people sharing in Destiny Child server, but I never went there so can't say

[limpid slate]

So I want to switch Crown into her gacha skin, and I also want to just straight up replace nikke models with other nikke models, which part of the guide should I follow for this?

[final leaf]

well, didn't write a separate section for that in the guide since some people here dun like when paid skins are swapped onto default skin since they believe that is a major reason why shift up goes so far to stop modding, but the closest to the steps is repacking old mods section

there, instead of old mod file, u will be using the skins file that you want to use

and u will have to change the character code within atlas.txt, the one u will be importing (in your case, from the skin)

[scarlet vapor]

if you get the logic behind it, it similar to making mods > character section

[dapper bolt]

yeah, found them, but looks like they all got deleted from Mega.

[final leaf]

u could try requesting the author of that mod

[wraith rock]

Is possible install nikke skin mod on android?

[final leaf]

no

[dapper bolt]

How much money do you think that will cost?

[final leaf]

huh?

it depends on the modders, but its not like all mods by the modders are paid...some modders deleted their mods coz shiftup started going after modders and made it so that mods wont work...mods started working again just recently....any mod files/links that were posted #modded-assets were all free...why would anyone post files of paid mods in the channel? so if u request the modder, he might give u the file, again depends on the modder, but most people here are very generous and share them

[dapper bolt]

okay, thanks pal

Erm... how to renew mods?

[final leaf]

2nd pin in this thread, the guide as a section about repacking old mods

[dapper bolt]

thx

[oak sedge]

where do i put this file (bunny alice over neon lobby)

[minor lion]

Lady just said to not post paid swaps that includes shit that hasn't come out yet I'm sure

[tulip lagoon]

you can post whatever

[minor lion]

Ah ok then

[tulip lagoon]

just keep the #nsfw-rules in mind

[oak sedge]

its in modded assets

[final leaf]

burst lobby animation? then I think in %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Unity\com_proximabeta_NIKKE\4bc49e22b8eed107c9e9201b2f94e595\df40b2632196ac8ff650196e8e10f88f

[oak sedge]

thanks, ill try it

it worked

[oak sedge]

can you send me the link from where you found the screenshot?

[final leaf]

https://a1ter00.github.io/nikke-file-finder/

its also pinned in #1041207949508497548 thread

[oak sedge]

ohk

[oak sedge]

im trying to use it but the guide is kinda confusing can you explain how you used it?

[final leaf]

uuuh which part is confusing?

[oak sedge]

literally all of it

i have these files for tia but theyre just random letters and numbers and i thought that a1ter would show me where to put them

but its telling me to select a json file but theyre data files

[final leaf]

don't select 1 JSON file since u dunno which JSON contains the info u want. select upload folder
go to %USERPROFILE%\Appdata\LocalLow\com_proximabeta\NIKKE\com.unity.addressables and upload
since u want Tia's file name, write Tia in the "Filter by name or ID" text field then press "Apply Filter"
copy the name of what kind of file/folder u want of Tia, her aim, voice, sd model .etc, whatever u need.
go to %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Unity\com_proximabeta_NIKKE
then search the name u just copied

[oak sedge]

i dont even have a json file

maybe im js slow

oh nvm i get it

[final leaf]

wait wdym u dun have JSON file? those comes with the game

[oak sedge]

im really confused

can i send the files here

[final leaf]

sure

[oak sedge]

ok

i already tried using nmm for them but it didnt work

and when i put in in the aeb100 folder it didnt tell me to replace anything so idk how to use them

[final leaf]

these Tia's standing, aim and cover mod I presume

[oak sedge]

yea

[final leaf]

since they have the random name, it means they are old mods, so these needs to be repacked as well as renamed into a way nmm will accept

the old method of putting the files in aeb folder and replacing doesn't work anymore

which is why nmm was made, it also made using mods easier

now, I could repack the files for u if u really want, but its best if u learn it so u can repack any old mods u need

which one u want?

[oak sedge]

if i cant figure out how to do it myself could you do it?

[final leaf]

aight

[oak sedge]

ohk

tyty

[final leaf]

also, for reference, could please tell me which part of the guide u read and made u confused? I'll try to make it less confusing

[oak sedge]

sure

im not really sure what a1ter is supposed to do

tbh none of the steps make any sense either

[final leaf]

it just finds the name of the file the game uses, only needed if u are trying to make mods, using mods don't need a1teri

[oak sedge]

oh

[final leaf]

uuuh which section specifically?

[oak sedge]

what is even that

[final leaf]

[final leaf]

wait, what guide are u talking about?

[oak sedge]

im talking abt this

[final leaf]

oh

[final leaf]

so as mentioned here, its best if u upload the entire addressable folder, the location of the addressable folder is written there as well

[oak sedge]

im gonna try it

[final leaf]

do the steps make sense now?

[oak sedge]

oh yea it does

can you repack the mods for me?

[final leaf]

sure

[oak sedge]

thanks

[final leaf]

btw, who made the mod? since it needs to be renamed with the author's name for nmm

[oak sedge]

seireiko

i think u can put any name for the file tho

author*

[final leaf]

uuuh is that his paid mod? if yes, then delete the file from this channel, I have it already

[oak sedge]

thats why i asked if i could send it lol

alright i deleted it

[minor lion]

its quite easy once you get the hang of it

[oak sedge]

thats true for a lot of things

but it just seems like a lot of steps and im tired rn

[minor lion]

char swaps are much simpler than you thinl

the guide prolly has the old way

[oak sedge]

its repack not swap

or are they the same thing idk

nvm its not i swapped a2 over tia once

[minor lion]

oh just a repack ok my bad

[oak sedge]

ye

[final leaf]

I'll dm u the files

[oak sedge]

ohkk

[scarlet vapor]

have any1 experience any problem with noise's hair when swapping her 2nd skin to original skin?

her ponytail seems wonky lol

[final leaf]

prolly the physics...?

either try to fix the physics (written in the guide) or turn of physics in the settings

[scarlet vapor]

can I click the fix physics in the nmm

I afraid I will breake smth

[final leaf]

only if u put in a valid physics file

[scarlet vapor]

hmm alright it should be safe

[scarlet vapor]

nah its still bugging

[final leaf]

did u use a physics file after fixing it?

[scarlet vapor]

well it said fix downloaded and applied

idk what I need to do after aside from starting the game

[final leaf]

I mean, did u follow the guide?

[echo dagger]

You still have to manually change the physics within the physics file

[scarlet vapor]

ah no, I'm just clicking the button in nmm

I tho u talking about that

okay I'll try following the doc

[final leaf]

that button is just to apply the modded physics

just like when u apply a mod

but u need to have a modded physics file 1st, just like u have for other mods

[scarlet vapor]

I see

[final leaf]

someone ghost pinged me

[oak sedge]

i asked you for help with something but someone else already did it so i deleted it

[tidal osprey]

Umm, I installed a background for lobby, specifically a Blanc&Noir one in casino

But it's not working after extraction, even tho I followed instructions

[granite dove]

In which file is the mini-game mod placed?

[fervent spoke]

the bgm ones

[valid moon]

[granite dove]

@valid moon yea

[glass dock]

anyone have a video or something of just a basic 101 on how to implement the mods

[final leaf]

check the 2nd pin in this thread

[lunar pasture]

Are the mods (specifically the one that removes mustang from the mini games) and putting skins bannable? And if not, can I install the mods on my android phone or do I have to use a PC?

Would really appreciate it if I get an answer since I put too much time in this game and I don't want to get banned, especially since I only have one account. Please and thank you.

[minor lion]

I been using mods forever and never got banned

Android isn't moddable afaik

[lunar pasture]

Thank you,

I will see if it's at all possible.

Nevermind I got the answer

This is the guide

It's how I learned

[sullen terrace]

oh im sure its just swapping files

thats how most mods are

[sullen terrace]

has anyone been ban doing this

[uncut fox]

No

[elfin belfry]

is there any working mods to remove tia's effect

[tulip lagoon]

yes, bugsbunny mod folder should have them, its pinned in #modded-assets

[granite rover]

Hi, I just started modding a few days ago, some mods that I found in #modded-assets are like this, I suppose this is the old format that needs to be repacked/changed to NMM standards, my question is, is there a way to know which file is for standing/aim/cover?

[tulip lagoon]

when you open it during repacking you can see what it is

[granite rover]

oh, okay, it was kinda my bad, seems like I opened the standing one that doesnt indicate, got it now, thanks

[vestal briar]

Got a weird problem with the Soda burst live wallpaper swap thing, by KxdewxrdF2P. Any clue what's happening here?
Closed the game, copied the stuff to my AppData. The Bay burst over Rapi works completely fine.

@final leaf I have a question

so I'm trying to fix physics and I've followed your instruction

is NMM mods folder where I should put my modded physics file?

and I don't need to apply mod inside NMM for modded physics?

[final leaf]

yes, put the modded physics file in nmm mods folder

[final leaf]

depends on which version of nmm u using. if 0.12, no need to apply, if 0.13, after you put the physics file in the mods folder, click "fix physics" button

[scarlet vapor]
