Modded Assets Questions

[slate urchin]

nmm now can be used?

[icy minnow]

What does she wear under her Virgin Killer?

[shy onyx]

Have you modded it or something? I don't see difference with normal Pepper

[lament pendant]

He's asking if Pepper wears something underneath. It's base Pepper

[shy onyx]

Oooooh, I'm slow mentally

[icy minnow]

Is a question.
On the modded assets question thread.
Because the people who know about assets gather here

[lament pendant]

Basically he's wanting someone to remove Pepper's Virgin Killer and tell him what she wears

[ember cloud]

Hi, does anyone know if mods are working now? Just started playing and want to mod.

[fervent spoke]

Your mind is wierd if you can't tell different between virgin killer and a sweater

[icy minnow]

It is indeed.
But i saw it from behind and i could not help but think of a virgin killer sweater

[lament pendant]

[mild matrix]

Wtf is a virgin killer

[valid moon]

[thorny socket]

Hello good community, I'm new in all of this stuff about mods
I read some issues about mods for Nikke in Android. They're still dead? Or is there a chance to apply in the game?
And there's a place where I can find mods for Brown Dust 2 in Android?
Thank you very much for your help

[coarse tiger]

still dead
a good rule of thumb is to search and check pin because it is asked often here

for bd2 idk maybe google it and find a fan discord like this

[thorny socket]

I see
It's such a shame Android's still dead
Thank you very much

[fervent spoke]

A sweater that back side exposed completely

[mild matrix]

Including ass? Or just the literal back

[fervent spoke]

Including ass

Like the only covered part is just stitch line for neck and bottom

[shy mural]

ass is generally just the crack no

[devout rover]

Hello everyone, I don't speak English so I will speak using the translator, I would like to know if there is any mod like this for Android, because I play on my cell phone, could someone help me?

[unique vale]

Modding on android is not possible due to requiring the use of NMM (Nikke Mod Manager), which is only available for computer at this point in time. Used to be able to mod back but not anymore. The last thing I heard you might be able to mod for android still are burst skillcut animations and lobby wallpaper animations

[devout rover]

Okay, thank you very much. ☹️

[elder ermine]

hey uh kinda new to modding and I'm not sure how exactly I get the mods working after applying them on NMM? I have them installed and active, but nothin seems to be happening

[fresh gust]

Mods don't apply reliably lately anyway, so it may not be a user issue at this time

Danieru (the guy behind NMM) is currently working to see if they can update it, but for now assume modding is unreliable for Nikke on PC

[elder ermine]

oh okay, thanks for answering anyway lol

[fervent spoke]

And game loading screen/ banner showcase vid

Cause both only need mp4 file swap

[icy minnow]

You tell us

[shy mural]

i mean shes taking a shit there

thats like if i said pants traditionally dont cover the ass by looking at a picture of someone taking a shit with their pants down

[icy minnow]

I'm not sure if that made sense

[shy mural]

no ass

[mild matrix]

That's cuz the mannekin sucks. If it were bubble assed girl wearing htat, her top ass crack would totally show

[shy mural]

well yeah the crack would show, the whole thing isnt out though

[ionic monolith]

Hi Looking for a bit of help

Followed the Doc to install the NMM but it just wont seem to work

I went though the Troubleshooting guide but no luck

I can physically see the mods shortcut in the game I presume the MM made and the graphics are high and it's all on the main drive and the mod launcher is installed next to the game.

Any suggestions on what else i could try?
Thx so much

[hollow orbit]

NMM ist not up to date since the last update/patch. So y need to wait for the NMM update like everyone else. It should maybe take some days. Just wait a little bit more.

[ionic monolith]

Ahhh huge thx
What a time to try and start modding

Where would be the best sport to watch for a update notification?

[hollow orbit]

it should be here in the #modded-assets. Maybe in the Modded Assets Discussion thread too. We will see

[elfin edge]

Stuff has been saying download configs for a while

[rough heron]

the old MODs can not ues？😭

[viral phoenix]

They might need to be repacked

[rough heron]

I use NMM0.3.1，the standing became this，anyone konw what’s matter？

only a few mod have problem，almost mods successed，is mod’s problem?

[silver matrix]

Need to repack.

[viscid panther]

someone here willing to help me with repacking?

[rough heron]

what is repack?have instructions share?

[final leaf]

@rough heron @viscid panther the instructions for repacking is in the guide which is pinned in this channels' "pinned messages"

[viscid panther]

I tried it already but once i open my nikke with a mod it just closes the nikke Windows right again

[final leaf]

closes nikke? that's weird...if it was just that the mod wasn't repacked, then it would show as pink or invisible in-game, meaning the game itself would run iirc...but in your case, the game closes, so I don't think your issue is about repacking a mod

what kind of mod are you applying? and are you using the new NMM v0.3?

[viscid panther]

Sorry i didnt really explain right not the game closes rather the characters and it goe sback to nikke selection

[viscid panther]

Characters swap of Liter to syuen (dont ask why) and yes using 0.3

[final leaf]

was the mod working previously? as in did it work with nmm 0.2? @viscid panther

[rough heron]

I can not find the channels' "pinned messages"，the channels need authorize？

[final leaf]

if you can see and text in this channel, then you are already authorized to see this channel's pinned messages.
Anyway, here is the link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DIhn_XsvG9qBpTln7WoaRolq7VdFoDFKR5R103P_FkM

[abstract pendant]

did i install wrong nmm from GamingBanana?

i waited for 2 mins

[final leaf]

don't get it from gamebanana, it's always released in this discord. new version is here:
#1041207949508497548 message

[amber crane]

Use VPN.

[unique vale]

the one on gamebanana still exists? wild. I thought a takedown was sent for it

[abstract pendant]

i need to start apply mods before launch game?

nmm works

[final leaf]

yea, apply while game is closed

[abstract pendant]

it is loading so hard now

the game

nvm

mods didnt apply

[viscid panther]

I just started playing and modding but it was Wirkung with pink before repacking - its 1 year old

[vast osprey]

How to open mod files on spine? Which files do I need to export from the mod, and how to import to spine?

[magic niche]

.png .skel .atlas

[elfin edge]

Did mods just stop working

[vast osprey]

No they just start working

[vast osprey]

You know how to fix this issue?

[magic niche]

nop

[elfin edge]

Interesting pfp choice

Anyway

Can you help me

[unique kettle]

Got nmm working but now no mods is working ? I feel like nmm is trolling me..

[magic niche]

What version of nmm

[unique kettle]

0.31

Rn when i click apply mods it takes 5 sec to apply but it doesnt?

[unique kettle]

Any idea ? I did happen before but not like this

[vast osprey]

When do you apply mods?

[unique kettle]

Before press start button

Of the game

[dull glade]

yeah got the same issue.

[polar cosmos]

Try completely closing Nikke in the system tray and repeat the process of Apply Mods, that seemed to work for me after trying to add a few more mods.

[magic niche]

try uh

nmm/deps/nkab/ folder on the left, nikke.exe folder on the right

also try goign to %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\com_proximabeta\NIKKE\com.unity.addressables and delete all files, restart nikke and let it load to 100%, then exit nikke and apply mods before starting again

[fresh gust]

Is there a repacker version more recent than 1.5?

[void pond]

nope, I just changed the script that gets the raw files from your drive for the files from the cloud
Only thing I thought to add to the repacker is something to work with old mods with hashed names

[fresh gust]

Mods seem to be working fine on my end as well, after:

• Re-packing all mods using KXDE's repacker
• Clearing out addressables and getting fresh ones from a clean boot of Nikke
• Using NMM 0.3
• Deleting UnityCrashHandler (not sure if this had any effect on performance, really)

Didn't need to do anything with the 'nkab' folder

Thanks Danieru for being the GOAT

Sorry @void pond just having an issue with the most recent CharacterSwapper:

(ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'requests')

Made sure Python and pip were updated

[void pond]

pip install requests

[fresh gust]

It was that simple... my bad

[void pond]

'requests' is needed to make the script able to download the files from the cloud iirc

[fresh gust]

I had the old ver. from before your swappers did cloud download, no wonder - thanks for the help, hopefully someone else can find this later and save you an @

[void pond]

np, I don't mind pings asking for help

[vast osprey]

New NMM doesn't work like that. You apply once when the game is closed and it keeps working. Noice

[fresh gust]

Any chance you'd ever work on a repacker for SD model swaps? Or is that too difficult

[elfin edge]

Mods ain't working

[wise trellis]

been like this for a while

doesnt change

[elfin edge]

Yeah same

[fresh gust]

Seems to be working fine - do you have a VPN on or anything like that?

[wise trellis]

i got it to work, i was using an old version but now when i press apply wait the 10s and then start the game the mods just dont show up, i figured maybe the mods were old so i got one of the new ones that was just posted tried that and still nothing

[elfin edge]

🙏

[fresh gust]

Make sure they have the correct name syntax:

And of course that you've (1) re-selected the game path and (2) chosen the Nikke.exe, not the launcher's exe

Another question: do we know if SD model swaps are still working with NMM 0.3?

[vast osprey]

Looks like everything still works

Didn't try SD but all previous stuff including portrait and physics works so why not

[void pond]

well since the sd hashes and the hd hashes are all together in the catalog.json I think it's possible..... but NMM only works with HQ/HD files tho

after to come back to play NIKKE I forgot I had my game settings with sd models, so NMM 0.3 was not working

[void pond]

new NMM 0.3 doesn't need that you wait 10 seconds anymore tho

#1041207949508497548 message

[fresh gust]

I think Namgir answered, but just to clarify for my question I meant the chibi overworld models that are seen on the campaign map, Outpost, etc.

[void pond]

ohhh lmao, I forgot those were called SD

they are part of NMM list so yeah, I can make another swapper for them later

[fresh gust]

That would be huge, I've been doing them manually and the swappers are obviously super helpful

[void pond]

it seems like chibi models are not available on NMM yet

[magic niche]

i think chibis is in the other addressable

im not to keen at adding them cuz its another 10mb dl

mby ill add an opt in dl for them

[mild matrix]

Super niche

[void pond]

they are in the one with aim/cover/standing models

I thought the old renaming structure would work but it's not working

[magic niche]

then they should work

[void pond]

sdcharacters_assets_cXXX_XX_var

[magic niche]

cuz

if (internalids.includes(modName)) internalid == newPath

should be hdcharacter prolly not sdcharacter

[void pond]

but sdcharacters refers to the chibis even for the old NMM

[magic niche]

        const match = internalIds.find((i) => i.internal_id.includes(modInternalId))
        const update_providerid_stmt = db.prepare(`UPDATE entries SET provider_id_rowid = 3 WHERE internal_id_rowid = ${match.rowId}`);
        const update_providerid = update_providerid_stmt.run();
        const update_internalid_path_stmt = db.prepare(`UPDATE internal_ids SET internal_id = '${modFolderPath}${modFilename}' WHERE internal_id = '${match.internal_id}'`);
        const update_internalid_path = update_internalid_path_stmt.run();
        const update_entry_data_stmt = db.prepare(`UPDATE entry_data SET type_rowid = '17' WHERE hash = '${String(match.internal_id.split("_").slice(-1)).split(".")[0]}'`);
        const update_entry_data = update_entry_data_stmt.run();
    }```

internalIds is a list of the table internalIds

should work cuz its unique

[void pond]

so the way to rename them is different now?

[magic niche]

u can use the hash i guess

i think hash is the only way

cuz otherwise ur using _'s

and _ turns it into cxxx_xx format

[void pond]

ok, lemme try adding all of the name from sd to before .bundle

[magic niche]

wich one u tryna replace

i have it open i can give u hash

for testing

[void pond]

I was testing a swap: Crown skin chibi over Crown normal chibi

[magic niche]

crown skin chibi what id

crown

350_00?

[void pond]

c330

[magic niche]

{NK.Addressable.HostConst.HostDatapackLoadURL}\sdcharacters_assets_c330_00_var_252a9d567382a8723d9ecfb1f9b4485e.bundle

try 252a9d567382a8723d9ecfb1f9b4485e

but i should make a better way

kinda sucks im alrdy using _

3-5 _ alrdy reserved for cxx_xx mods

[void pond]

[void pond]

nope, still broken

[magic niche]

hm

2bad

theoretically it shud work

mby ill add some kinda tag to mods that arent cxx_xx

like *name_whatever_lol

and the * is ignored

[void pond]

it could work with sdcharacters_assets_c330_00 excluding var ?

[magic niche]

thats 4 x _

i think nmm is gonna treat it as cxxx_xx mod

will for sure fail if it does

u can check ctrl+shift+i network->request

[void pond]

the error appears in my player.log as well?

I can check my player.log

[magic niche]

prolly not

[void pond]

where do I press this? on the chibi tab?

nvm, I guess it's on NMM

now the broken chibi swap is not letting me to enter to Crown tab

[void pond]

@magic niche maybe they changed something after the April Fool even where they added more chibis?

[magic niche]

nah

if its not working its some nmm problem

ill look tmrw

had some (a lot) of alcohol today

[void pond]

lmao alright, take your time bro
I just use NMM for portrait/models and for lobby/burst the old way, chibis would be just a plus

[magic niche]

ill look into chibis tmrw it should work

[wise trellis]

i did it js incase

[wise trellis]

they dont work if theyre on folders?

anyways i figured out what i did wrong

i updated my nmm from 0.3 to 0.3.1

only for a few mods however

[fresh gust]

It worked with the old ones, I did the chibi model swap with 0.2.1 before

I assume nothing changed but KXDE tested and reported it not working I think

[void pond]

NMM 0.21 is still working?
I tested those swaps on 0.3

well Danieru will find the issue later

[fresh gust]

Back when 0.2.1 was working, the chibi models worked

[elder ermine]

hey uh random question, how do you repack old mods?

found a bunch of old ones I wanna use but not sure how to repack lol

[void pond]

#1041207949508497548 message
The repacker works with mods renamed to NMM format for now, so if the mods got hashed names (random letters and numbers) you need to rename them one by one manually before to use the repacker

[rigid kindle]

https://github.com/kxdekxde/nikke-character-swapper how do you know what the skin codes are when using this tool?

is the number just dependent on when the skin was released

[void pond]

https://kxdekxde.github.io/nikke/characters.html

check that link with any other web browser except Firefox

Firefox is not loading it properly for some reason

Use Chrome or OperaGX

[rigid kindle]

Awesome, thanks for the help

[silver matrix]

Can any modder help me please? I was trying to make a mod but in NMM it appears like this.

When I try to load up the game it stays stuck at 43% which I know is due to a mod, specifically this one as when I disable it the game loads fine. I followed the modding guide and the mod is viewable in the preview but causes the game to stay stuck. Anyone know why this might be?

I've done one for Pepper before using the same modding guide and it worked fine, so I'm not sure why this one doesn't

[abstract pendant]

same thing happened

at 3rd time once applied mods it didnt apply anything

nvm it worked

[abstract pendant]

i got it

first use nikke mod manager thing

apply

then open game

log in

then it wont stuck

and it will be applied

u need to have fully closed nikke

without nikke logo on it

then it should work

for me it worked

[silver matrix]

Tried that and it didn't work. But I believe mine is a different problem altogether.

Like you can see there the character that the mod is for isn't recognized for some reason, while the Rapi mod from Mr. Miagi is. I followed the mod making tutorial so I'm not sure where I went wrong and I think that is the reason why the mod is causes the game to get stuck.

[trail nymph]

how stable is new nmm

[void pond]

very stable for aim/cover/standing models

[trail nymph]

burst and lobby unstable?

[void pond]

burst/lobby/chibi mods don't work with new NMM for now

[trail nymph]

rip

[void pond]

oh and fav items/treasures mods work too

[polar cosmos]

Do Burst mods work manually? I still have a Marciana burst that works because I put it in the local folders, so is it just NMM that can't use Bursts?

[void pond]

yea, the method without NMM works fine
Altought the update in a few minutes could delete them again tho

[polar cosmos]

Ok, so the language could be clarified: Do burst mods work? No, not with NMM 0.3.1, BUT they still work with manual installation.

You did mention they don't work with NMM, but I see the question being asked in a lot of places without the added manual context, if people are wondering.

[void pond]

I forgot to test if lobby background swap works... welp, after maintenance

[lusty pier]

Could someone explain to me how I would swap a modded skillcut or lobby over another one

[void pond]

if the mod is not encrypted you can use my lobby/burst swapper.... altought I don't remember if I shared the way here

[lusty pier]

I only saw the guide on how to do it with in game lobbies and skillcuts

[void pond]

the manual way is difficult to explain, the automated way is something like this but with the lobby swapper or the burstskill swapper

[lusty pier]

It worked thanks

[burnt solstice]

The filename is probably incorrect as NMM does not know the character name.

[fresh gust]

What is the actual file named? Show us in Explorer rather than in NMM

[silver matrix]

I just copied the format I've seen others used but I'm not sure what format should be used tbh.

[fresh gust]

Looking at a1teri00's site, Aria is c432, not c342

[fresh gust]

Does that fix it?

[silver matrix]

Oh.

It did!!!

I must have been reading it wrong the entire time because I swore it was 342!

Shows that I have to double check those things. Thank you so much! I can finally have the Aria mod I wanted.

[dusty lotus]

Getting the "Downloading configs... please wait..." issue with NMM. Made sure game path is selected and that version.dll is present in the folder. Also put NMM on the same drive Nikke is and tried both with and without a VPN to install, stuck anyways.

[dusty lotus]

Ok I got it working. I had to nuke NMM .3 and download a fresh install of .31 (I was previously running .3 with the patch applied for the previews).

Oh, now it does apply but does nothing at all

Great

[fresh gust]

Try clearing addressables and replacing NKAB if you haven't already, see if that changes anything -- KXDE posted instructions further up in this channel that you should be able to use the search function for

[dusty lotus]

Cleared addressables and don't know what to replace in the NKAB folder, this is a fresh install of NMM. Still didn't work

Thanks for the try though

[lusty pier]

did you copy the Nkab folder from nmm and merging it with the games nkab folder

[fresh gust]

Mods weren't working for me, so I:

• fully closed Nikke, incl. from system tray
• copied NKAB over to Nikke folder
• deleted addressables from Nikke folder
• ran Nikke unmodified
• fully closed Nikke again
• ran NMM and applied

mods confirmed working without needing to repack

[viral phoenix]

Make sure you copy the contents of the NKAB folder into the nikke game folder, there's some files along with another folder make sure those files are copied into the game folder with the nikke.exe

[icy minnow]

Cool.
Since when do we have modded assets preview?

[dusty lotus]

I actually got it working now, I had to reinstall the entire game

I didn't get to try the manually moving the NKAB folder thing so it was potentially that

But yeah, can confirm its working now

[fresh gust]

Officially added in the most recent version I believe, 0.3.1

[lusty pier]

Hey is the lobby swap working rn

[void pond]

[amber crane]

[elfin edge]

[elfin edge]

Their probably old yeah

[icy minnow]

Shame.
You could get some value by properly sucking on some dick.

[icy minnow]

They kinda are

Well then...

Who is going to tell me the difference between one and another

[elfin edge]

🤔

True

[void pond]

the viewer doesn't support LZ4 compressed mods
Na0h mods are not compressed so you can use the viewer with them at least
Otherwise you need to decompress your mods manually but your mods folder size could increase some GBs with that

[icy minnow]

whut

#1041207949508497548 message
you can try from here.... but even with this some mods will not work with the viewer so is up to you if you want to try this at least
Danieru is working on an improved viewer anyways

[fresh gust]

Don't get Nikke modding resources from GameBanana

[icy minnow]

How come i don't have any Na0h mod e.e?

[icy minnow]

I just get the manager

everything else i get it here

[void pond]

most of his mods are paid 😅
there are a few free on #modded-assets or his free mods discord server on his X profile:
https://x.com/na0hmod

[toxic crypt]

I was about to ask about the repacker ngl.
Shit's useful

[icy minnow]

That's the detail

i'm on his server

now!
What the deal with this new mod manager?
when should i apply the mods? Start screen or Outpost?

[void pond]

some really old mods with hashed names are encrypted so they will need user intervention

[icy minnow]

need?

[toxic crypt]

FUCK

[icy minnow]

Explain that i don't get it e.e

[icy minnow]

ah

[toxic crypt]

@void pond I run repacker with .bat files right?

[void pond]

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

[icy minnow]

i just downloaded the whole nmm new version and copy pasted the mods folder

[void pond]

do those steps and the new NMM should work, remember to run as Admin

[void pond]

yep

[icy minnow]

steps?
where is the full list of steps?

[void pond]

to run 16+ scripts one by one is confusing after all

[icy minnow]

Write a script that runs them all manually

[void pond]

that is what the .bat files do

[toxic crypt]

1. Delete old addressables DBs at %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\com_proximabeta\NIKKE\com.unity.addressables
2. Launch the game to download fresh ones.
3. Leave the game and choose nikke.exe path with nmm.
4. You can start applying without going into the game, just make sure file names are correct.
   4.1. If, mods don't work after applying and going into teh game, go to the launcher menu and click repair files. Then try again the steps above

Hotswapping mods in outpost doesn;t work

[icy minnow]

Then what are you complaining a bout if someone made the job for you ah?

[void pond]

I guess We need a pin on this channel with the instructions for the new NMM

[toxic crypt]

you could just put it into one python file or make a GUI app if you're bored enough

[void pond]

my video guide is outdated now

[void pond]

well there are ppl that will get issues for some reason, in those cases they need to run the scripts one by one until to find which one is the script not working

[void pond]

it's fun to do GUI stuff with PyQt6 ngl, maybe repacker 2.0 will be GUI edition

[icy minnow]

Maybe huh

[toxic crypt]

thank god it's "maybe"

[toxic crypt]

n word is an n word tho

anyay, imma go have fun with Ade's skin

[icy minnow]

delete the files or the whole folder?

[icy minnow]

Share your fun

[toxic crypt]

files inside the folder

[icy minnow]

Leave as in close the game or just let the start screen appears?

[toxic crypt]

close game fully after the enter the game button appears

[icy minnow]

Cool.
I don't have to open nmm each time i open the game then?

[toxic crypt]

yep

[icy minnow]

It's stuck at 4/7 loading

[burnt solstice]

If Shift Up sees this, they'll have no choice but to take measures with the mod.

It's the same as distributing paid content for free.
It seems different to personal modding.

[uncut fox]

They never did anything on the skin swap MEGA folders

Only those who earned money from modding were hit

[mild matrix]

With takedowns yes but they also encrypted bundles and sent modding into the Dark Ages

We don’t publicly do/share swap mods

[uncut fox]

We don't know the encryption update was directly related to modding at all

[amber crane]

ok fine

F I hate Shift Up

[final leaf]

is it shiftup or proxima that we should be hating? last time I heard, its all because of proxima

[fierce furnace]

Hey, Is the mod shared in the mod asset still compatible with NMM 0.31?

I happened to see an old tutorial on a website. Is it still useful?

[valid moon]

since when

i still believe shift up didnt fuck over modding cause of skin swaps

[mild matrix]

Since NMM 0.1

I mean we don’t know for real why SU fucked modding, so not publicly swapping was what most of us did. But I do recall you never gaf. There is no rule or enforcement of this precautionary behavior

[shy mural]

i do remember there being a time period where it was heavily discouraged

[mild matrix]

Gjopin does too, he’s just feigning disbelief

[valid moon]

you’re saying that like its a rule

which is my problem

[magic niche]

Yes and no

Fairly sure it's mainly to not get in trouble with collabs

Encryption updates and some other extra security measures always happen at the same time as collabs release basically

[void pond]

yup, they killed bgm swaps really fast for that

[uncut fox]

👆

[magic niche]

The war prolly started with that ruppee mod back in the days

[void pond]

bgm swaps + voice swaps *

I miss the old days when voice swaps worked

[uncut fox]

The beta model?

[final leaf]

even though that was so tedious?

and repacking them all everytime was

[void pond]

I wonder if UnityPy could automate those ones too....welp, no point to try that now

[magic niche]

no, when people made protest mods because of SU "censoring"

the preview they had of her a week before release was "uncensored" compared to the actual release

[fierce furnace]

Im stuck in here....

[uncut fox]

Again..

[fierce furnace]

i`m confused about what to do haha

[fierce furnace]

i have started this several times

but, its not working

[silver matrix]

If you're stuck there you may have an invalid mod that's causing the game to get stuck there.

Try disabling all and enable one by one to see which one is causing the problem.

[fierce furnace]

okay

wait a moment

[toxic crypt]

true

[fierce furnace]

oh ya, can you give me one of your mods that works?

I just wanted to make sure quickly

regular characters like Rapi or Neon or Anis, maybe

[magic niche]

should have put na0hs mod in there just so ppl have a default mod to try with x)

[fierce furnace]

i just tried the Rapi mod that was just posted yesterday on this discord. but it still stuck at 4/7

[toxic crypt]

Did you finish applying the mods and got this:

Just asking since you seem to be from asia (based on game server role)

[fierce furnace]

yeah. it works. just the game is stuck at 4/7

[fierce furnace]

Ya, im from Asia. sorry if my english is bad

[toxic crypt]

did you already try repairing files in the launcher?

[fierce furnace]

he said the application file is abnormal

[toxic crypt]

then repair

[magic niche]

its always abnormal if the unitycrashhandler has been removed

player.log will tell what the issue is

stuck at 43% usually means smth in nkab folder didnt copy over correctly, or invalid mod

[fierce furnace]

done, so do i launch it? without using mods or using my mods right away?

[toxic crypt]

could be the copying or the mods soft link wasn't created and it doesn't know where to pull mods from

[fierce furnace]

So, do i launch it?

[toxic crypt]

launch the game. If you can open it fully without issues, close the game, open nmm, choose the game folder and try applying again

if it doesn't work and gets stuck on 4/7, just show player.log or your game folder to check if the files were copied correctly

After choosing Game Path in nmm it should look like this:

As well as this should be created:

[magic niche]

Nah should be fine even in that case afaik

43% is script failed to load addressables (or script is not active at all and game refuse to load modified addressable)

[toxic crypt]

[fierce furnace]

Okay, still Stuck at 43 (4/7). Let me see if I moved the file correctly?

[toxic crypt]

seems to be correct

@magic niche

[magic niche]

Looks right

Is it a laptop

[fierce furnace]

Yea

[toxic crypt]

do you have a separate disk?

[magic niche]

Someone else on laptop had smth from hp or whatever blocking the script on some weird way

[fierce furnace]

Wait, I will repeat it again

[toxic crypt]

it wasn't ntfs formatted

I mean the disk with teh game

[toxic crypt]

okay, I'll wait

[magic niche]

Some omen fps layover thingy was fucking it up for another guy on laptop

[fierce furnace]

It could be that I made a mistake in completing the script

sometimes I'm too neat in organizing files. so I give each character its own folder name. maybe that's the problem

[magic niche]

Player.log will be better at telling what the real problem is

[toxic crypt]

shouldn't be an issue unless you took apart the nmm

[fierce furnace]

I see the difference, that is every time I want to see the character review in the mod launcher. it doesn't work.

Ahaha

finally i found the problem

My nature of always tidying up files is the problem

It turns out I don't need to create a separate file for each character.

[toxic crypt]

previews for some files don't work, that's normal

Just show the bottom lines of this file:

%AppData%\LocalLow\com.proximabeta\NIKKE\player.log
should show an error there

[fierce furnace]

Yea

I mean, I made a mistake in naming a mod file. I even put the mod in a folder. that's my nature, because I hate when files are messy. Turns out, I didn't need to do that hahaha. now the mod works

So, thank you for help me haha.

[toxic crypt]

yeah, there should be no folders in Mods folder in nmm

[fierce furnace]

you guys are very helpful

[toxic crypt]

same with correct naming

👍

as long as the game runs with mods...

[fierce furnace]

I think I have to limit my nature of always wanting to tidy up folders haha

[toxic crypt]

I sort stuff too, but only when it needed to be sorted

[silver matrix]

Does this mean I can only use paint.net to edit the textures? Or how do I prevent this from happening while using photoshop?

[burnt solstice]

I don't know what the problem is, but as long as you can create a transparent PNG, any software will do.

[silver matrix]

Coincidentally, I was reading mr.miagi's faq in his server and it seems to be this.

But I'm not sure as it views fine in the preview in NMM.

This is how it look in NMM Preview.

[fierce furnace]

hello, why are the mods other than Rapi not visible on mine? I installed the Neon and Anis mods, but when I enter the game, the mods are not read. the appearance is the same as usual. but Rapi is different, his mods are read. Is there a problem with this?

[burnt solstice]

Apparently Photoshop doesn't work.

https://ja.esotericsoftware.com/forum/d/25622-artifacts-in-textures-that-were-edited-in-photoshop/2

[burnt solstice]

Can you show me the NMM settings screen?

[burnt solstice]

The presence or absence of PMA must match the settings in the game.
In the case of NIKKE, it must be enabled.

I don't know how the preview function works, but it may not be necessary to have PMA.

[silver matrix]

I FIGURED IT OUT!! So it turns out when exporting I was selecting the best quality which seems to somehow cause the PMA to be applied.

I changed it to smallest file size and changed the sampling method to bilinear and IT WORKS!!

I'm still not sure whether it is because of the sampling method or the save method that causes the artifacts but I just booted up in game and don't have the artifacts anymore after using the PNG I exported used those settings.

I just saw the video you posted though and I think it might be time to learn how to use GIMP.

I'm just using PS since it's the one I've used all my life.

[burnt solstice]

If you have paid Photoshop, I don't think you need to use the free GIMP.
Does Photoshop and Spine not work well together?

I'm currently using GIMP, but I was wondering whether to buy Photoshop.

[fathom tinsel]

do i only need to remove these files from addressables or all that are in folder?

[pure flower]

new here how do I install these skins mods?

[toxic crypt]

You need to apply them again if you turn off or turn on some mods

[toxic crypt]

You know you can just convert from PMA to STA on nikłe visualiser made by koshirei, right?
Then you don't need to worry about artefacts when doing transparent pixels

Just make sure to convert back to PMA before putting the texture in the mod tho

[silver matrix]

Now that I figured out the export stuff I think it works fine. It's just in that same video you posted it said that PS can mess up the transparency sometimes and that GIMP was recommended.

[silver matrix]

I did the first step and it looked messed up so I didn't try again.

Didn't know I had to convert back. Will try that way in the future too.

[toxic crypt]

Trying to paint on PMA texture makes the overall image look bad tbh

[silver matrix]

Yeah.....I've spent way too much time trying to do this mod that isn't really good but I've been learning a lot throughout process.

Makes me respect the work that the modders do so much more as their's look so good.

[void pond]

leave those 6 files and delete everything else

[fathom tinsel]

oh okay i did the opposite

i deleted these 6 and leave the rest of them lmao

[toxic crypt]

[fierce furnace]

here?

[fierce furnace]

do you mean i need to repeat the previous steps? or just need to press the "Apply Mod" button on the mod launcher?

[fierce furnace]

or maybe there is something wrong in this part?

[burnt solstice]

Did you know that "Neon" and "Neon Blue Ocean" are different characters, and "Anis" and "Anis Sparkling Summer" are different characters?

You may be able to apply the mod, but perhaps you are checking a different character?

[fierce furnace]

Ah seriously? I don't know about that. So, are Anis and the other Anis skins or are they characters that I need to gacha?

[burnt solstice]

These are time-limited characters, not skins (costumes).
You can confirm that there are two types of characters in the in-game library.
You can also check whether MODs have been applied.

[fierce furnace]

ah, so it must take me a long time to get that character again

[final leaf]

This is Anis

This is Anis: Sparkling Summer

they are not skins, they are different characters.

[burnt solstice]

Sorry for the Japanese translation, but if you search for Anis you will find that there are two types of characters.
Also, even if you don't own the character, you can check what the character looks like here.

[toxic crypt]

only apply

[fierce furnace]

then, where do you buy those many mods? If there are free ones, yes I would prefer that. But I'm not sure if there are free ones

[burnt solstice]

https://discord.com/channels/968096627002851379/1041202670620397589

I think there's some free mods in the pinned messages here.

[fathom tinsel]

what does this mean

[fierce furnace]

I'm actually surprised, why do people seem to have all limited characters. How do they get it all?

[burnt solstice]

I think the mod file is corrupted.

[burnt solstice]

Only use jewels on limited characters and collect the rest from your wishlist.
If you keep playing, I think you'll be able to collect all the characters even without paying.

[fathom tinsel]

#modded-assets message i tried applying only this as test since thats the only new mod i downloaded

[magic niche]

Mod file not found or mod is invalid

Might be that nmm failed to create symlink in nikke data folder to mod folder

If all mods are invisible its probably because of that

[jolly grail]

Any android mods??

[stable sand]

is this still relevant or is there a new way

[unique vale]

no

[stable sand]

when i run the mod manger i get stuck at 4/7 add catalogue path.. loading in 43 anyone know what wrong with my set up

[polar cosmos]

This worked well for me.

First, I installed a new mod, which didn't appear in game.
Second, I ran through your whole list of troubleshooting.
Finally, the newer mod shows up in game.

So something is locking previous mods in place and preventing new mods from being added, unless you delete addressables?

[stable sand]

thank you got it to work

[toxic crypt]

Outdated mods? Mayhaps

nmm right now works similarly to how you'd install mods in Java Minecraft

First launch should always not have mods loaded

[polar cosmos]

So every time you want to add mods, you have to "start fresh" for everything to take affect?

[toxic crypt]

No

You run it fresh only one time after selecting game path

Works like Forge for Minecraft

To add more mods you simply close the game and hit apply mods each time you change mods

[fresh gust]

Agreed, the non-loading issues seem to stem from incompatible or non-repacked mods (provided there's no issues with addressables or nkab)

[tardy valve]

I have the same problem, it gets stuck at 43% after I applied mods, but idk how to ensure my "nkab" folder is correct

[fierce furnace]

Repair the launcer

[void pond]

run NMM as admin when you set nikke.exe path, if that doesn't delete UnityCrashHandler64.exe automatically you should do it manually

[tardy valve]

I tried it out, but it didn’t work.

[tardy valve]

Yeah, I did that

[fierce furnace]

I was like this yesterday 1. I deleted the file from the tutorial in the message above. 2. After that, I went in to fix it in the game. After finishing I then closed it. 3. I then opened the NMM mod and I didn't put the mods in a folder. So I took out all the contents of the folder and only let the data be read. 4. I activated it then I went back to the launcher and fixed the launcher. 5. After that I started the game and everything was fine

you can try this one. maybe you have a syndrome (like to tidy up files in the form of folders for each mod)

you should not put mod files into a folder. because it will make you stuck in 4/7. let them be free without having to put them in a separate folder

it's like you put the RAPI mod (for example) in a folder so that it doesn't look confusing to you

[void pond]

addressables path:

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

[fierce furnace]

Yea, @tardy valve delete this folder first

[fierce furnace]

oh yeah, i just remembered. is the mod for android no longer valid?

[void pond]

nope, Danieru said something about to jailbreak your phone to be able to use mods iirc

something similar for Android I guess

but lobby+burst+effects mods should work on Android since those files are not encrypted so they can be modified on PC and then copy&paste the mods to your game folder

[tardy valve]

I passed 43%, but it stuck here

[void pond]

did you try closing the game and relaunch?

[tardy valve]

i did

[void pond]

can you screenshot your addressables folder?

[tardy valve]

I tried re-downloading com.proximabeta.NIKKE

[void pond]

do you play with medium/low quality settings?

those files are different

you need to set your game settings to high quality because NMM only works at high quality settings

same with mods, they are made with HQ files

[magic niche]

The nmm script is compatible with android and ios but to run it u need rooted phone

Could also work with a modified apk

Im not rly interested in dealing with all that tho

[austere barn]

Hi, Im trying to follow a guide on fixing the pink problem thing but what I see doesn't match with the video, even though I uploaded the folder that was provided by Bingle

[amber crane]

It seems that the file wasn't fully uploaded, so you can't search for anything.

[austere barn]

How do I fully upload it? Does it depend where I placed the extracted folder after downloading the Addressables JSON Folder?

[amber crane]

Just put the three JSON files into one folder, and then upload that folder containing the JSON files on the website.

[austere barn]

Wait 3? I only have 2

[amber crane]

Your file is not supported by this website.

use this
https://kxdekxde.github.io/nikke/characters.html

[austere barn]

Oh okay, so I just skip the uploading step and instead look for the character there?

[amber crane]

yes

[austere barn]

alright thank you

So uh, another problem. I tried to drag the file that I copied into NAU but it keeps closing by itself very quickly

[amber crane]

Install this
https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/8.0

[void pond]

if NAU is not working you need to install .NET SDK 8
https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/thank-you/sdk-8.0.404-windows-x64-installer

and there is a script that runs NAU automatically so you don't drag and drop the files

[austere barn]

Ah alright, thank you!

[fathom tinsel]

does the portrait mod work with current nmm?

[vast osprey]

Yep

[tardy valve]

This issue’s got me stuck! lol

[tardy valve]

I ensured it had been set

[shy mural]

fyi naoh from this angle her left (our left) nipple would be out and visible

probably some areola on the other one too but that ones not super wrong or anything

[austere barn]

How do I run the script?

[fresh gust]

The folder you screenshot earlier isn't the main folder -- so first you run 1, 2, 3 in that folder

Then you go up a folder and you should have numbered scripts allowing you to run the repacker/swapper

KXDE's swapper post has a video embedded that you can follow

https://autocompressor.net/av1?s=7apvikx3

[void pond]

with the .bat file
#1041207949508497548 message

check the video starting from 1:59

and just in case...... don't run the script "OPTIONAL", delete the stuff manually when you're sure you repacked your mods successfully. Because if you run that script you will lose all your mods in "Modded Bundles"

[covert blaze]

i stuck at 43 add catalogue path when mod, anyways to fix?

[dull glade]

I had this problem for a while too. turns out my burst/portrait mods were broken. the game loaded fine once i disabled them.

[tulip lagoon]

Hi, with the updated Mod manager, my old mods are still showing when I add new ones, and turn those off, any ideas?

[wicked shard]

@vast osprey tried the aim mod for Emma you posted earlier and this is what i got

[vast osprey]

Hmmm... try reapplying?

[mellow sun]

Where to download PyInstallerFixer.exe

[rapid verge]

Hi, I downloaded NMM but I can't get any skins to work. Can anyone help me?

[covert blaze]

i tried almost every fix, deleted the file in com.unity.addressables then open game without mod, quit game when touch to continue appears and apply mod, set the graphics to high, repair game, tried every mod in the manager, one by one, but still stuck at 43% add catalogue path.

[void pond]

do u mean Physics Fixer?

[void pond]

stuck at 43% could be related to some of your mods being corrupted too

try leaving only one mod in your mods folder first to test if that fixes the issue

[mellow sun]

Yes, I mistyped the name before.

[vast osprey]

https://github.com/kxdekxde/nikke-physics-fixer

[mellow sun]

Thx

[void pond]

[covert blaze]

i put the mods elsewhere. just used some latest mod i just downloaded on modded-assets, i tried them one by one. but still stuck at 43%

[void pond]

close the game and NMM, then go here and delete everything in this folder (don't delete the folder)

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

The fix that worked for me was just to delete those files, run NMM as Admin and then just set nikke.exe path again and apply mods

(I also had to switch my game to high quality because I forgot)

[covert blaze]

I did as you said. Start by deleting all files in AppData\LocalLow\com_proximabeta\NIKKE\com.unity.addressables. Then I went to NMM, set the game path and applied the mod. In com.unity.addressable appeared an file named "undefined". Then I went into the game, when it finished loading and "touch to continue" appeared, "undefined" file disappeared by itself, when I went into the game I didn't see any change, so I turned off the game and applied the mod again. Then I went into the game, and of course, it was stuck at 43% again.

[void pond]

just in case... check if you have UnityCrashHandler64.exe in your game folder, and delete it

NMM should be deleting it for you but if not you need to do it manually

[mellow sun]

@void pond I downloaded the latest version of PhysicsFixer from github and the desktop did not generate a file after use. Using CharacterSwapper is all fine, so it shouldn't be due to the python environment

Oh, sorry, didn't pay attention to the github instructions, it turns out it's generated to C: drive, in the demo video above it's generated to the desktop

[void pond]

yea my video guide is outdated on that part, I changed the path to C: so ppl don't have issues with that annoying Onedrive Desktop that comes with Windows 11

[covert blaze]

you mean this, right? I already deleted it and apply mod. continue enter game but still stuck at 43%

[void pond]

yeah, my game works without that file

[magic niche]

unitycrashhandler still exist = nmm has problems accessing your nikke folder i guess

[slate urchin]

i apply my mods like what i do in nmm0.21，but all mods cant work, how can i
solve this

it didnt work

tried again and still

how to fix this problem???

[elfin edge]

https://tenor.com/view/wakfu-future-yugo-power-portal-sword-gif-17669460

[fresh gust]

Maybe give us more of a description on what's going wrong? Is the game loading? Is it stuck at a certain percent or portion of the loading screen?

[abstract pendant]

When i applied mods and turn game on

Im stuck at 43 4/7

After i closed

Reapplied

IT didnt work

And it repeats

[lament sparrow]

If I cant preview the mod then does that mean it wont work if I try and apply it to the game?

[rocky shell]

naah the preview dialog is just too stupid. It doesn't mean the mod can't be activated. I only tested it with my mods.

[lament sparrow]

Ah I see

[elder ermine]

hey did most mods get broken this update or something, for some reason after I updated my game all my mods broke

[tulip lagoon]

@void pond do you have the ein profile mod somewhere?

it looks amazing #modded-assets message

current link is down

[void pond]

nope, but I can make it again because it's easy

[tulip lagoon]

that would be great

[ruby obsidian]

what apps modders/artists use for mods? i assume photoshop but i guess you can go for gimp etc as well. i was wondering if there's an alternative where you can see the result in real time without loading it into some spine viewer

[torpid bane]

you'd have to mod the painting tool to have a running spine runtime live

not saying it's impossible, just saying it's highly unlikely

I think the best modders have a spine pro licence , where I guess you can draw and preview live

[ruby obsidian]

ah I see. i've never worked on 2D stuff so it's kind of hard for me to imagine how it'll look. and it's painful to put it on spine viewer every time. anyway thanks for the reply appreciated

and one more question, if you don't mind. again, like I said this is a new territory for me, how does the positioning work? i mean, i know how it works, they are all in the text file but how can I make the process easier/faster? to add new elements in the picture/animation. since they are all pre-positioned i can swap between them i guess, but i'm having trouble to determine exact positions for new ones

[torpid bane]

pretty sure if you don't have spine pro you can't do much about the atlas and skel files

only redraws of existing stuff

I'm no modder myself but I've never seen anyone adding something outside of the pro software

[ruby obsidian]

i see. maybe i should start considering buying a spine pro license then. i hope i dont lose interest

thanks again

[final leaf]

that's a massive investment of $369, so consider well
https://esotericsoftware.com/spine-purchase

[ruby obsidian]

actually i'm pretty sure one of my friends who works for a studio already have it. maybe i can ask them so i can give it a try before i buy it myself. since currently i have no idea how hard it'll be

[graceful vortex]

why cant i delete the unitycrashhandler file

[ruby obsidian]

quick question, can you import skel files in Spine without converting it? how do you people do it?

[scarlet dock]

How does the asset preview work for mods? They work in game for me, but I can't seem to load them up to preview them. They just load forever

[tulip lagoon]

some mods work for me just most don't

in asset preview that is

[tulip lagoon]

see if this mod works free mod from na0h

[vast osprey]

Yeah, what you need to do is opening Spine - click top left - use texture unpacker - select atlas file - unpack it to a folder

Then copy-paste skel file to that folder, and then open it with spine

[ruby obsidian]

thanks i appreciate it 🙏🏼 will give it a try

[vast osprey]

Can you do something with spine tho? You can view the skins but from what I can see controlling the skins is on the game code

[tulip lagoon]

yes you can

there are a bunch of skins with modded animations

[vast osprey]

I am not saying changing animations tho

Anyway looks like still possible via cheating with it a bit

[plucky lion]

when i apply my mods they are stuck at the downloading configs it doesnt change i tried restarting it still doesnt work

[tulip lagoon]

you can try a vpn see if that helps you dl the config

[plucky lion]

how do i make my own skins

[tulip lagoon]

use UABEA to extract the texture file then edit that in paint or whatever

read the pins in the modding channels one of them explains it

[abstract pendant]

if someone
can help me again with applying mods
i ran nmm as administrator
and still didnt work

[vast osprey]

If you still want it

[ruby obsidian]

I grabbed the hashed character file, used NAU to unpack it but can't go beyond the texture unpacker thing. Am I doing something wrong?

[vast osprey]

First you need to export Skel-Png-Atlas with Asset Studio

[ruby obsidian]

Yeah I thought that might be the case and got them

[ruby obsidian]

But when I select c330_01.atlas, which is Crown's skin I get this error

[abstract pendant]

if someone
can help me again with applying mods
i ran nmm as administrator
and still didnt work

[elder ermine]

Hey uh quick question, what does it mean by the "Character file" on the google drive for making mods?

it mentions some sort of bundle but I dont know what those are

[ruby obsidian]

Character files are encrypted, in %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Unity\com_proximabeta_NIKKE\ you'll need to grab the one you want to work on and unpack it with NAU. It'll extract the bundle from the file and so you can start working on it. Not sure if this is helpful for you but here's hashes for characters: https://kxdekxde.github.io/nikke/characters.html

[elder ermine]

wait is each character file like one of those folders?

[ruby obsidian]

Yeah, for example I'm working on Crown's skin, so I get the file called ceba7fac83e03826b7c79cb85f2e4a52 as you can check in the link, it's that skin's standing pose. You'll need to watch out for skin codes, like c330_00 is default Crown but c330_01 is the skin

[elder ermine]

aight thanks, lemme try to get this working now

[ruby obsidian]

Good luck

[ruby obsidian]

I need to go now, please ping me if anyone can help me through this error

[vast osprey]

Are you using the latest Spine version?

[ruby obsidian]

Uh I don't think so no, it's 3.8.75 Pro

[ruby obsidian]

I see, well can't be helped then

[void pond]

did u try the first fix already?

[vast osprey]

What are you trying to do? Just editing image file might work as well

[ruby obsidian]

I was thinking of adding new accessories, clothes maybe. You can't go all the way with just editing the png I think

Like I said before I'm a modder myself but 2D texturing stuff was never my thing, it's all new to me so I'm trying to figure things

[vast osprey]

Yeah you are out of luck then :/

[ruby obsidian]

Actually I'm not even sure how far you can go, there's literally nothing out there. Usually people post videos on youtube or something, showing off their work, or just tutorials etc. But when it comes to nikke, welp nothing

That's kinda why I joined this server at first actually, I thought people might be posting stuff like that but sadly it's more of a showcase I think. I'm not disappointed or anything though I'm happy to be here, at least I learned about the technical aspects

[vast osprey]

Because there is a huge gatekeep which is Spine price. Without it what you can do is so freaking limited, and tend to have issues.

Even editing the textures with PS creates issues for example, for some weird reason only Paint.NET works (and probably some other but definitely not every program)

[ruby obsidian]

Yeah paint.net is a savior not gonna lie it helped me alot for other games too

[tulip lagoon]

i've made some texture edits with paint.net but i don't think creating a youtube video out of my less than amateur performance would help anyone

[ruby obsidian]

Well, thank you for your replies I appreciate it you really took your time with me

I'll just see how much I can go with pngs

[tulip lagoon]

it would be cool to see na0h's work or something though a real modder go at it

[ruby obsidian]

Exactly my thoughts

[vast osprey]

This is the most you can do without Spine I think. I know he doesn't use it.

#modded-assets message

Probably pain in the azz to do it tho

[ruby obsidian]

I'd like to speak with them to be honest at least to get some important pointers on how to start/from where. I usually only apply some tattoos on characters or just removing extra stuff like for example all the lights on Crown's skin. But looking at that Yan mod, you can do so much more. I think my main problem is that I'm clueless on how the positioning work, I can draw stuff but don't know how it'll look lmao. In some aspects, this is much harder than 3D. In 3D at least I know/see what I'm doing

[rocky shell]

here, I modded like this before spine2d pro. It worked out well enough to get enough supporters to buy Spine2D Pro 😄

i made my first 10–20 mods like this.

[ruby obsidian]

That's why you are one of the best

[tulip lagoon]

that process looks much better than my paint.net job

[scarlet dock]

Thanks for that. I tried the mod, it does work! I guess the Na0h mods work for me with that then. I downloaded the ones from MM using the pinned comment to try the whole modding thing in general but they never showed up in asset preview.

[scarlet dock]

Oh is that what it is. That would explain it

[vast osprey]

Na0h how do you mod with Spine then?

More specificly, is there a way to rebuild unpacked png file to a whole image to edit on PS etc.? Or you are working with images one by one again

[rocky shell]

hm i can do a howto video with spine2d pro

[vast osprey]

Up to you 👍

Main thing I am curious about whether its possible to rebuild those png files in Photoshop etc. Because I simply can't imagine working on separate images one my one

[ruby obsidian]

Up to you but that'd be great, I'd like to see it as well

[rocky shell]

done. let me compress the video, 1,3gb video is a little bit to big 😄

[tulip lagoon]

save as 144p

[rocky shell]

@vast osprey @ruby obsidian wow after compresseion 60mb

[rocky shell]

hm ok, in the video I showed a simple tutorial where its easy to replace it. Sometimes it's much more difficult. where you have to recreate the mehses and weights

[vast osprey]

Just saw it, thanks for taking your time

Thats what I mean with doing it one by one tho, sure its easier than working on atlas directly, but still cancer to work imo 🗿

I wish there would be a way to convert atlas image to a .psd file with a correct layer order/placement

[ruby obsidian]

How do you *export every part as separate pngs?

[rocky shell]

texture unpoacker -> select the atlas-file

[ruby obsidian]

Oh yeah I see, with Spine. I still don't have access the latest version of Spine, will have it soon, can I use trial version? if you know of course

[rocky shell]

no idea. havenmt tried the trial version

[ruby obsidian]

Alright first of all, is this correct?

ugh

[rocky shell]

you can change your spine version here

[ruby obsidian]

Yeah... trial doesn't let you do that unfortunately. But thanks, I learned a lot today, hope I can get my hands on the latest Spine soon so I can start

[vast osprey]

You can unpack with latest version, if anything you should unpack with latest version

For opening skel file you need to use that skel file's spine version tho

[ruby obsidian]

I unpacked it but can't import skel yeah

[vast osprey]

#1041208182539825182 message

Still should be enough to do Na0h's tutorial

Idk if trial lets you pack them back tho

[ruby obsidian]

It doesn't

[vast osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/dance-coffin-meme-rip-gif-16909625

[rocky shell]

you can play with this siren version. should work with your latest beta Spine version

[ruby obsidian]

Yeah it does! Thanks, I can at least use this for learning

[fresh gust]

@void pond how would I find out what names your swapper uses to refer to the characters? for example, the original unit is just "asuka", but the one from the recent event is named "Asuka Shikinami Langley: WILLE" in-game

[void pond]

https://kxdekxde.github.io/nikke/characters.html

I just named her Asuka WILLE

[plucky lion]

anyone got a modpack for every character

[errant idol]

Hi, may i know that the file tyle "eventscene_c350_cutscene" is workable on NMM now or not?

[vast osprey]

As far as I know no, you can replace the game's file tho

[ruby obsidian]

Sorry to disturb everyone, how can I find a lobby burst file? I tried searching for it with A1teri's website but burst sections are empty

[vast osprey]

https://kxdekxde.github.io/nikke-parentfolders/

I search folder name with Everything

[ruby obsidian]

Alright I found it, for some reason it didn't load the other catalog file

[ruby obsidian]

Oh this is even better

[errant idol]

For the Na0h new nmm features, may I know how to let the nmm know which one are lobby mod and icon mods? I just put the mod files on the same folder and nmm can not detect the lobby files

[fresh gust]

There aren't any modpacks that I know of - just take the ones you like from #modded-assets or whatever other sources you can find

[vast osprey]

#1041207949508497548 message

[errant idol]

Thank you

[fervent oasis]

@void pond effect remover works? what characters are included

nvm saw github and everything else

[tulip lagoon]

i'm already requesting a bubble remover from siren

[ruby obsidian]

I was wondering, do you have a video on burst lobby wallpaper modding as well? I looked at Crown's skin animation and find it kind of complicated than characters. I thought maybe you'd keep an old video somewhere

[void pond]

yeah it works, it has got the feature to get the effects back too
But most of ppl don't want to install 12GB of dependencies only to use the tool so I'm working on the portable .exe

[vast osprey]

Its same thing with more files

[abstract pendant]

do i have to delete anything for mods to work? i ran as administrator and nothing worked

bruh nobody helps me?

[void pond]

@fervent oasis @void stone you can test this portable version, I think I packed everything properly to work without Python/UnityPy installation

https://www.mediafire.com/file/av8j88ottsipkv1/DOROEffectsRemover.7z/file

[rocky shell]

nope. i dont have a video for lobby/burst

[fervent oasis]

I will try it this evening

[void stone]

i tried the github version ytd but it didn't work (on crown and maid mast), don't see any error messages at a glance in the cmd when replacing files and the cmd auto closes so idk what went wrong

[void pond]

Did you try the portable version or the script version?

The script version requires a lot of stuff to be installed to use it so I made the portable version to skip that

How to install mods/Use NMM

1. Delete old addressables at %userprofile%\AppData\LocalLow\com_proximabeta\NIKKE\com.unity.addressables.
2. Use nmm 0.3, click Select Game Path and select game's .exe (\NIKKE\NIKKE\game\nikke.exe).
3. Run the game fresh without mods, log in, then close the game.
4. You can start applying mods now. Choose your mods, hit apply, wait for the config to finish downloading and then start the game.

If the mods don't work:

• Select Repair option in game's launcher and try the steps above again.
• Make sure the mod files aren't in any additional directories in the mod folder. They won't work that way.
• If you have further issues, make sure your game is installed on NTFS drive, so the nmm can create mod folder symlink to your game directory.

How to make mods appear in NMM?

• put the mod file(s) in <Your NMM path>\mods

Additional Notes:
Turning on and off the mods "on-the-fly" doesn't work. If you want to switch mods, simply close the game, select mods you want to have, hit apply again for the config to download and apply. Then launch the game again.
Game folder after choosing game's path should look like in the screenshot given.
Mods can break after bigger game patches (usually collabs and anniversaries). If that happens just wait for the modders to repack mods or repack them yourself, and wait for NMM's NKAB update (if mods don't work for anyone).

Have your help.

[brittle rune]

is NMM file a virus

[abstract pendant]

Ty

[fervent spoke]

False positive

[brittle rune]

so its safe for me to download it?

[fervent spoke]

Yes

[brittle rune]

alr

how do i disable false positive

[fervent spoke]

Disable window defender

[brittle rune]

ok

[fervent spoke]

Then do the instruction on how to mod in pin

[brittle rune]

ok

[late lagoon]

43% loading after enabling the mod and the game freezes and does not start

#1041208182539825182 message

and dont place lobby mods in the NMM folder if you haven't installed the latest NMM function

[errant idol]

don't use any lobby burst mod, only character and icons

[flat depot]

I will speak using the translator, I'm doing a repack, what is the 'request' module?

[toxic crypt]

Update python. That's the most I could help

[tardy valve]

I'm puzzled why NMM needs to download the config? 🤔

[tulip lagoon]

the whole thing was made to protect paid mods or something idk

but it is also very helpful much easier to organize than the old method

[final leaf]

rather than paid mods, it was made to enable modding itself, because without NMM, you can't apply most types of mods manually, not anymore.

it's more like, while it enables modding, it also has additional features of allowing you to manage/organaise various mods and more features are being added on top

but main reason for NMM is to enable modding

[tulip lagoon]

yes it is helpful

but initially it was barebones just apply skin

[gritty tangle]

I have exactly the same problem, have you managed to solve it yet?

[dull glade]

I'm guessing the update broke mods again?

[sweet crag]

Does anyone else get disconnected from server 100% of the time in the new event story ?

[fresh gust]

@void pond sorry to ping as usual; how does the repacker get updated? for example, "grave" "01" doesn't get recognized yet

I see that there's reference to the JSON, but not where it's pulling from

Side note, do we need a new catalogdb JSON for repacker, etc.?

[void pond]

yeah there are new catalogs
#1041207949508497548 message
I'm not updating the swappers until I can figure how to make them portable (including UnityPy, etc)
This will take a while because I'm not a programmer

[tall kindle]

Question. So shift up seems to be rerunning some old skins. I noticed in the modded assets channel that there is a mod for dolla's dark Rose skin. I'm assuming to use this mod, I would first need to have the actual skin itself right?

Also does the mid upload tutorial near the beggining of this thread still work?

[valid moon]

you could swap the skin to base dolla if you wanted to

[tall kindle]

But to use the mod for the skin I have to have the actual skin first right? Like, I can't just download the mod and get the modded skin on Dolla without buying the skin first?

[valid moon]

if the mod is for the skin then yeah

but like i said yust swap it if u dont wanna buy the skin

[tall kindle]

Aight cool. I'll probably try it out on a new account then

[sweet crag]

It only happens to me when using little mermaid too. Using mods is like breaking the new skins / nikkes cause i cant view the aim/shooting a lot of the time.

[vast osprey]

Its because of physics file

@void pond maybe you can release physics one a bit early?

[manic dragon]

is there a modding guide anywhere?

[final leaf]

in this thread's pin

[urban echo]

is it safe to try and swap cinderellas paid skin mod onto the base? does nikke normally dislike swapping gacha mods or smth

[unique vale]

you should be since Nikke doesnt really have any sort of mod detection. As long as you dont post about it with anything that can identify your acc

[urban echo]

how would i be able to do this? are there any updated video guides on character swap?

[manic dragon]

is this true? doesnt nikke launch an ac at startup?

[unique vale]

yes it does but NMM basically tricks the game to read the modded files and use them instead of the games base files

[manic dragon]

is NMM open source?

[unique vale]

it is not

[thorn herald]

I want to apply the mods and it says "Downloading configs... please wait...", but its already 1 hour like that. Can anyone help?

[ruby obsidian]

Hmm, after doing everything I launched the game and it says there's a 15MB update but "downloading required files" stuck and then gives a "system error", any advice?

Wait, do old mods *-before this update-*even still work?

[fallen lance]

I was able to successfully install mods after patch, but I reopened the game and original files were downloaded and mods replaced

I will reapply now

[stable pilot]

try using vpn

[stable pilot]

some may work but also need repack for older mod

[fallen lance]

interesting, now I got the 57% System Error popup

[ruby obsidian]

I mean, I can repack them myself but I guess I'll have to go through every single one then

[thorn herald]

Still the same

[uncut kestrel]

for me, I’d just put everything into Repacker without checking but now can not loggin with mods

[main wadi]

Can someone answer me the question why my Nikke gets Stuck here, if I have pressed the apply mods button in nmm?

[twilit ingot]

@main wadi

[waxen helm]

If the above doesn't work you can also try setting your game path in NMM again

worked for me after

[main wadi]

ok thx, but would you mind telling me what NKAB is @twilit ingot

[wide rapids]

it been like 6 months i didn't mod or smth. how's the modding scene rn?

still doable? is it complicated?

[vast osprey]

I don't know 6 months ago but current its easy as it gets. Apply once and forget until next patch

[toxic crypt]

Delete addressables from the folder, it should stop the error. Then log into the game. Worked for me.

Then you can close the game and apply mods again.

If they don't load in the game, repack them

[tall kindle]

I know it's somewhere in the modded assets section but I don't know where, could someone show me or link where in the channel I can find the latest tutorial on how to do mods?

[gritty blade]

waht do you mean by delete addresibles?

nvm found it

[tall kindle]

Is it pinned?

[white cave]

no

its scattered every where

doesnt work for me but if u scroll up a bit you'll see the steps

[tall kindle]

Aight. Guess I'm scrolling then lol

[fresh gust]

Someone screenshotted my message for troubleshooting, and the general steps are pretty easy in terms of:

1. Download NMM
2. Download mods
3. Make sure Nikke is fully closed
4. Apply mods through NMM
5. Launch Nikke

[bronze pecan]

can someone help me fix that. PLS!!!

[valid moon]

old mod

it needs to be repacked

[tall kindle]

so im following this guide for modding and im at this part where im trying to run the file without debugging and get the "keys" folder to show up as shown in the last step. when i try to do it though, i always get an error saying "variable workspace folder cannot be resolved, please open a folder" what do

[brittle rune]

I just turned off my firewall and it still says it has virus in it

for NMM mods

[toxic crypt]

Idk if I should ask for the pin or let it go and keep people asking same thing 80th time ngl

[brittle rune]

hey why is NMM still detected as malware even i turned off windows firewall

[final leaf]

Well as the error said, try opening the folder in VSCode. You can do that in various ways but the easiest way is to go to the folder where your generator.js is located, then right click at empty space (but within the folder) > Open with Code. This should open the folder in VSCode's workspace.

[brittle rune]

someone tell me

why i can't download nmm even i disable firewall

[final leaf]

what does it say when you try to download?

did you try VPN?

[brittle rune]

it says malware detected

[brittle rune]

ye

i used that

[final leaf]

false positive, you can try making a folder and exclude that folder from virus detection, and download NMM in that folder. also, turn off real-time protection and other settings in that same page

[brittle rune]

I done that a while ago

i turned off anything related to antivirus

[tall kindle]

i tried doing that and it seems to just reopen another window of vscode with the file, and when i try to run without debug again it gives me the same error.

[final leaf]

not sure what's wrong with your vscode, but here is the latest key

[final leaf]

if everything related to anti-virus has been turned off, then what exactly is detecting it as malware?

[brittle rune]

idk

it still malware detected idk

[tall kindle]

ah. i'll just put this where the key folder was supposed to show up. thanks

[final leaf]

press continue to download

[brittle rune]

wait

[final leaf]

click on see details

check if there is any option to "restore" or "allow" or similar

[brittle rune]

theres restore

or delete

[final leaf]

then restore

[brittle rune]

restored

then whats next?

[final leaf]

check where you downloaded NMM. see if it exists there now

[brittle rune]

oh

it existed as zipp

now im extracting it

btw how does false positive occur

cause im terrified what does that NMM gonna do to my laptop

[final leaf]

dunno the details, but my guess is that it's because this is a software/application without any certificate, so antivirus programs think they aren't trustworthy so they are malware

[brittle rune]

oh

so do you download NMM?

[final leaf]

yea

[brittle rune]

if yes does anything happen to your laptop?

[final leaf]

other than letting us use mods, nothing else

[brittle rune]

so nothing happen?

[final leaf]

nope

[brittle rune]

oh

i see

theres no virus on it yeah

alr thanks anyways

[final leaf]

np

[brittle rune]

anyways what am i suppose to do with nmm

[toxic crypt]

no clue, not me created the software

[final leaf]

instructions on how to use NMM:

[brittle rune]

.

[final leaf]

Do you not have this folder?

[brittle rune]

wait nope

i don't have nikke_Data

[final leaf]

if NMM is running, then quit NMM. open the game's Launcher and press Repair

[tulip lagoon]

sounds like your firewall is blocking all your shit

add nikke folder as an exclusive

[brittle rune]

i closed firewall

i don't have nikke_data

[final leaf]

also add the Nikke folder to exclusion list of whatever this antivirus is.

[brittle rune]

how

[final leaf]

open that antivirus program. Go to it's settings

[brittle rune]

yea?

[final leaf]

You have to look for exclusion list in various tabs in the settings, it could also be called something else depending on the antivirus

[brittle rune]

mines mcfree

so how do i get nikke_Data

[final leaf]

did you do this?

[brittle rune]

ye but except the repair part

[final leaf]

Do that part, that's what fixes the game if anything is missing

[brittle rune]

then start the game?

[final leaf]

yes, it will prolly download some stuffs. then after reaching the loading screen, quit the game

[brittle rune]

oh

it stuck at 4/7

the loading screen

[final leaf]

aight, quit the game. just to clarify, you completed the repair, right?

[brittle rune]

yes

[final leaf]

Go to this address:
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\com_proximabeta\NIKKE\com.unity.addressables

[brittle rune]

ye done

[final leaf]

delete everything

wait, before deleting, send an ss

[brittle rune]

ok

[final leaf]

yea, delete everything

[brittle rune]

ok

done

[final leaf]

Go to the game's directory

and send an ss

[final leaf]

Delete that UnityCrashHandler64

[brittle rune]

ok

alr

i deleted

[final leaf]

now, go to the folder where you extracted NMM

[brittle rune]

oh

click nikke mod manager app?

[final leaf]

no

there should be a folder named "deps"

[brittle rune]

ye
