Modded Assets Questions

[brittle rune]

same

now all we need is the new mod patch

i hope the mod patch updates automatically like steam

[tall kindle]

Im just gonna try uninstalling and installing the game

[brittle rune]

its not working

[tulip lagoon]

blame jeff

[brittle rune]

do this

[fathom tinsel]

i did this and still stuck at either 43/57 i dont even open nmm

[tall kindle]

I uninstalled and installed the game and it finally went in. New Cindy skin is in there now yaaaay

[vast osprey]

Do this then

#1041207949508497548 message

[fathom tinsel]

delete all of it or leave the 6 files as usual

[fresh gust]

If anyone is getting the 3.26 MB error - just delete your addressables folder as described above, and then the game will re-download about 150 MB (rather than re-installing the wholeass game)

(For next time though, because Danieru updated the NMM server and mods are working again)

[tulip lagoon]

absolutely perfect ui shift up

perfect block

[valid moon]

just lower ui transparency

ngl

[tulip lagoon]

i'll give it a try

[valid moon]

its in settings

[tulip lagoon]

ah shit it removes hp too

is there a way to keep hp/cover bar?

have to do it the ugly way and make it 10%

[valid moon]

i put mine at 50%

i think

it doesnt look that bad

[tulip lagoon]

i'll mess around thanks

transparency doesn't look nice i need the character profiles removed so i can keep the rest at 100%

[rich frigate]

someone know why this happen?

[twilit ingot]

Try opening a vpn

[rich frigate]

still the same error

[tall kindle]

Is nikke mod manager something you need to update manually?

[brittle rune]

where are the new nmm

[void pond]

for the latest version yep, Danieru needs to update it manually

[void pond]

#1041207949508497548 message
#1041207949508497548 message

[brittle rune]

is it updated recently?

[valid moon]

check the date

[brittle rune]

so im just gonna redownload it right?

[brittle rune]

its a month ago

[final leaf]

I'm pretty sure you already have the latest version, so you don't have to redownload it

[brittle rune]

so does it automatically update?

we don't have to reinstall it right?

[final leaf]

its just that you don't have to do anything, because the update is done by the creator of the mod manager manually on mod manager's server.

and he has already updated it

[brittle rune]

oh

thanks for the update btw

[valid moon]

has it already been that long

[runic anvil]

Is there anything that needs to be installed before using Doro tool or Doro swapper? Because I tried all the steps but still get an error

[vast osprey]

You sure you created NAU shortcut?

[runic anvil]

@vast osprey When I run it, it looks like this.

[karmic oriole]

I have problen in running character swapper get raw file.bat with Scarlet: Black Shadow

is name string Scarlet: Black Shadow is wrong?

[tulip lagoon]

don't use ":"

[wide rapids]

how do i manually repack a mod?

i failed here

[tulip lagoon]

second pin has the guide for manual modding

[runic anvil]

Is this because I forgot to install something necessary?

[wide rapids]

what's dorothy code ?

how do i find her new "file" ?

in this location i mean

AppData\LocalLow\Unity\com_proximabeta_NIKKE\aeb001dfac41dab1192aeo074efc3e21

[wide rapids]

don't understand where did i go wrong?

[vast osprey]

Possible, idk tbh. Make sure you follow everything

[runic anvil]

I installed and checked all these versions, they meet all the requirements.

[karmic oriole]

can any one tell me name of foleder that contains 1f2136b0cde084feb818ddcc4320452e and c26a0496dc39fb22e6ff2c6748612400 in directory %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Unity\com_proximabeta_NIKKE?
I think i've done something wrong with lobby swapper and folder just disappear.

[vast osprey]

I am assuming you run 1_INSTALL_REQUIREMENTS.bat as well?

[vast osprey]

Restart the game, it will download whatever missing

[wide rapids]

i just understood what's wrong. didn't know El Caudillo's mods were encrypted ?

[runic anvil]

Yes I ran 1_INSTALL_REQUIREMENTS.bat but not sure if it installed successfully because as soon as I ran it the console window closed immediately.

[vast osprey]

Doesn't look right, but I don't know whats the issue

Try running with admin rights I guess

Otherwise maybe @void pond can help

[runic anvil]

I tried using Cmd run as administrator and everything was installed. But when I tried to run it normally without using Cmd run as administrator, all the errors came up.

[gentle merlin]

yeah dorothy and red hood both show up like this for me

idk what I am doing wrong

[final leaf]

most likely your texture size didn't match

if not that, then you atlas might have some issue

try fixing the texture 1st

[gentle merlin]

time to read some stuff ig

[void pond]

can you screenshot your doro tools folder?

[runic anvil]

Now it works fine, I run everything using Cmd with admin.

[bold bridge]

what is this in NMM

[unique vale]

your antivirus is flagging that version.dll file as dangerous and deleting it. You need to make an exception for your antivirus to not delete it and restore it your PC

[bold bridge]

and version 0.3.1 NMM does not work now or that it is necessary to wait for a new one?

[unique vale]

it should work since newest version of NMM

[bold bridge]

there is in general one large catalog of mods on nikke because it is not convenient to search for folders mega and in the discord server and in Twitter

what to do if the mods do not work enabled mods in NMM but they do not work

[final leaf]

is your settings in-game set to High?

[bold bridge]

yes

[final leaf]

is your NMM in the same drive as your game?

[bold bridge]

yes

[final leaf]

C:\NIKKE\NIKKE\Game\nikke_Data\StreamingAssets\aa\StandaloneWindows64

can you go to this location?

its C drive if u installed the game at default, but if u installed in some other drive, then change the drive

[bold bridge]

yes

[final leaf]

is there a "mods" folder there?

[bold bridge]

yes

[bold bridge]

and you have to keep the NMM window open during the game?

[final leaf]

can you go to your game's directory and send ss?

[final leaf]

also, no. you don't have to keep it open

wait, when exactly are you applying the mod? you are supposed to apply them before opening the game

[bold bridge]

It's just that when I hold NMM open NIKKE freezes and when closed everything works fine

[bold bridge]

yes

[final leaf]

in your game's folder, where nikke.exe is

send ss of that folder

[final leaf]

and that's wierd...

[final leaf]

where is your version.dll?

go to wherever you downloaded NMM

[bold bridge]

what do you mean

[final leaf]

there should be a "deps" folder inside NMM's folder

[bold bridge]

this?

[final leaf]

yea, open that deps folder

there should be another folder named nkab, open that

[final leaf]

what the

there should be another file named version.dll

your antivirus took is I assume

[bold bridge]

I didn't get any notifications from my antivirus

[final leaf]

either restore it from your antivirus or windows defender (whichever got it), or you can just download NMM again and make sure to add it to exclusion list of you antivirus and windows defender

well, I guess I can just give the file here

download this

[bold bridge]

My antivirus says for a second that there's something wrong, deletes it and won't let me restore it

[final leaf]

in that case, whatever folder you are downloading the file at, add that folder to the exclusion list before you download it

so that antivirus never scans that folder, that way it will never get the chance to remove it

[bold bridge]

So I added the file and the antivirus didn't delete it

[final leaf]

noice

now move that file to where your game (nikke.exe) is

[bold bridge]

What could it be just a false positive or that my antivirus has never been wrong in 1 year usually

[tulip lagoon]

it is a virus for nikke it injects code into the game to let you run mods

[final leaf]

it's false positive. and its normal because this is one of the file that will enable modding. usually ".dll" files are considered dangerous by antivirus because people can do a lot of stuffs with it

but you want to do this in this case if you want to mod

[bold bridge]

okey

thank you

[bold bridge]

hi again the mods don't work. I just checked

[final leaf]

what happens now after you apply mods?

[bold bridge]

Well I tried to run the game it freeze again at 43 and I closed the NMM and started the game and it worked

[final leaf]

ok good

[bold bridge]

No, the game works, but the mods don't

[final leaf]

yea I expected

1. Close the game, make sure all processes related to the game is closed by checking system tray and task manager.
2. Go to %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\com_proximabeta\NIKKE\com.unity.addressables
3. Delete everything inside that folder
4. Open NIKKE launcher and select repair
5. After repair is completed, launch NIKKE and let it download the missing files.
6. Wait until the message "Enter to continue" and then close the game and the launcher
7. Open NMM as Admin and select game path to your nikke.exe
8. Go to the game's location and delete UnityCrashHandler64
9. Go to NMM folder > deps > nkab > copy everything inside.
10. Go to game's directory and paste them.
11. Apply the mods you want on NMM and close NMM after that
12. Launch the game and login into the game. I you still have issues, then you are most likely using some invalid mods.

[bold bridge]

Now even with NMM closed it freeze at 43

[final leaf]

huh?

did you do all of them?

[bold bridge]

I've checked and done it

[final leaf]

can you go to %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\com_proximabeta\NIKKE\com.unity.addressables and send ss?

[final leaf]

hmm, everything seems fine there

[bold bridge]

I restarted the launcher and the game worked, but again the mods do not work

[final leaf]

just to make sure, go to the nkab folder inside the deps folder inside the NMM folder

and send ss

[final leaf]

copy everything

[bold bridge]

and?

[final leaf]

then go to nikke.exe location

paste them directly there, replace if asked

[bold bridge]

here?

[final leaf]

yea

wait

u still didn't have the version.dll in the game folder?

anyway, paste them

[bold bridge]

what next

[final leaf]

now you can try applying ur mods. but still just to make sure, trying going into the game without applying mods to check if the game is working

[bold bridge]

not working

[final leaf]

you know what

restart PC

it worked for one guy

[final leaf]

and then after that, retry that

also, are you sure that you game was actually closed in task manager?

there are also some "tbs_browser.exe" files that some people have running in the background, those arr part of Nikke as well

oh and one other thing, add your Nikke folder to antivirus exclusion list

[bold bridge]

I restarted my pc and did it all over again and yeeeeeeeee nothing works. Damn it

[final leaf]

are you getting stuck at 43%?

or is it something else now?

[bold bridge]

Yes, but when I restart the game it starts without freezes, but without working mods

[final leaf]

can u send ss of the game directory again?

[final leaf]

wait, which one is true?

[bold bridge]

I did the first one from the bottom and the second one from the top

[final leaf]

ah ok, yea everything seems fine here

idk what else could be the issue then @magic niche could help I hope

[bold bridge]

Well, thanks anyway, you've wasted a lot of time on me

[magic niche]

Player.log after getting stuck on 43%

[bold bridge]

where can I find him?

[magic niche]

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\com.proximabeta\NIKKE\player.log

[final leaf]

no worries, that's not wasting time, figuring out your issues could help someone else

[magic niche]

Looks like nmm didnt copy it over correctly by itself

[bold bridge]

I've done it four times already

[magic niche]

Sure sure?

In that case you're loading an invalid mod

[bold bridge]

yes yes

[magic niche]

Try disabling all but 1 mod

[bold bridge]

You're a fucking wizard, man. I've been at this for three hours. Thanks a lot

[magic niche]

If you have a filename with weird naming it might break something, not sure

[bold bridge]

everything works

[magic niche]

So the one with the most sus name (foreign characters?) is probably the problem

Hm?

So what was the issue

[bold bridge]

I turned off a mod that's two years old

[magic niche]

Ah okay

I think only weirdly named mods will cause an issue but maybe old mods also do somethibg weird

[bold bridge]

Okay, I'm happy now

[magic niche]

x) nice

[bold bridge]

Can I ask you another question where is the best place to look for mods?

[magic niche]

Idk i think in this server? But most mods are paid

I dont use mods myself so cant answer rly

[bold bridge]

okey goodbye thank you again

[shy onyx]

Some characters mods like Yuni or Syuen can't be uploaded here either

[final leaf]

some, as in lolis

lewd loli mods to be specific

the actual list is in the modded assets Discussion thread's pin

[bold bridge]

I don't need them

[void pond]

you don't need to run cmd as admin tho

[shy onyx]

Yeah, that's what I was referring to, thanks

[tall kindle]

Oh god

[eager plover]

Is it possible to put this mod on the wall of Mihara's normal skin?
#modded-assets message

[rough heron]

who konw the NMM new version how long will be OK？

[tall kindle]

This thing works like magic thanks

[tall kindle]

Is there a way to mod sounds in? Like every time a nikke dies the "AAAH" from this plays lol
https://youtu.be/Lgn8MOoHEj0?si=MnKzAm26_8l0wqyF

[valid moon]

no

plus i dont think nikkes have a voiceline if they die

just for when you lose

[tall kindle]

Dang

It'd be hilarious tho

[karmic oriole]

Is there seiren effect removed file?

my dorotool is not work

[toxic crypt]

they do

[fresh gust]

Indefinitely until a major patch decides to break it

The previous iterations of NMM worked for quite some time, hence why we're "only" on v.0.3.1

[valid moon]

yeah it worked but it sucked ass 💀

[void pond]

the effects remover included in doro tools should be working tho
it's working fine for me

[gilded token]

why is "modded assets" page full of people advertising their patreons, and barely has any actual mods? is it some advertisement board?

[uncut fox]

[valid moon]

lack of actual modders in the game

i think we have a grand total of 5

[gilded token]

does it justify the page being full of ads?
make them some separate space to spam their stuff

[tulip lagoon]

it's justified when you consider that they are some of the same people who make modding possible in the first place

[valid moon]

they’re not gonna make another channel or thread just so 4 people can advertise their patreons

it just so happens that most of the modders have patreons

[uncut fox]

I thought that was just Seireiko

[fresh gust]

@valid moon I appreciate you adding both versions of your mod

[sullen horizon]

can we mod on android yet or nah?

[fresh gust]

Nah - you used to be able to, but it got patched and no one wants to work on it in the meantime

[quiet matrix]

Hello, do mods work on combat mode? Like campaign

[upbeat knoll]

Press any key sentence doesn't appear for long time. Do I have to escape myself?

[stable pilot]

Close cmd and double click updater.bat again

If there's error just repeat until success

[stable pilot]

Work every battle mode

[karmic oriole]

when I run mianbatfile it seems works until 5_bingle_repacker, after that cmd suddenly closed

Am i doing something wrong?

[pastel inlet]

Can the character swapper swap skins with multiple textures?

[tulip bone]

it did indeed, fixed my issue thankfully

[twin wedge]

Is there a way to switch a nikke's default appearance for a modded skin or the like WITHOUT having any of the skins

[tulip bone]

you can get mods that give u a characters paid skin, but not mods specifically for that skin I don't think

[twin wedge]

Hold up, so there are mods that unlock the paid skins?

[final leaf]

no, there are no mods that unlock paid skins. there are mods that can tell the game to show paid skins over your default skin or any other preferred skins. but the paid skins themselves will stay locked until you buy them. and you wont find such skin swap mods shared publicly. Its best that if you really want a skin swap, then make them yourself. although iirc, kxde has a swap tool(?), so you can use that if u want.

[twin wedge]

I see

thanks for explaining!

[stable pilot]

i can give you some free mod that i collected and swaped if you want

[twin wedge]

I'd be grateful!

[pallid totem]

Has there been any actual cases of people being banned for using mods?
Also, what shouldn't I do when having mods? I read that PVP is a no go when using mods.

[tulip lagoon]

interesting claim

where did you read that

[final leaf]

well, if you post ss of using mod and your ID is showing in the ss, you get banned, doesn't matter if you are in PVP or not

other than that, no one got banned just by using mod, PVP or not

at least no one complained about it yet

maybe Shift Up hides the body as well after the ban so that they can't complain

[stable pilot]

using mod is fine as long as you didnt expose it with your ID beside you can skip pvp using quick battle feature

[tulip lagoon]

idiot redditor doesn't know shit

[pallid totem]

Ok, new to modding, I read through this guide https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DIhn_XsvG9qBpTln7WoaRolq7VdFoDFKR5R103P_FkM/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.64ncv0g26ydn

1. Mods most shouldn't need other dependencies beyond NMM? No twaking and stuff like that.
2. I need to restart the game to apply the mods, right?

[pallid totem]

Real

[final leaf]

yea, but with the latest NMM, some of the mod types aren't supported yet

for example, Voice Mod and chibi SD mod doesn't work

all others should

and yes, to apply mods, close the game 1st

[pallid totem]

Would older mods still work, like say a mod that was created during the 1st anniversary still work in the current version?

[final leaf]

they would most likely need to be repacked

[pallid totem]

What's repacking?

[final leaf]

its basically updating the mod with newer files which are recognized by the game

[pallid totem]

Ok, that's all my question, thanks for answering them all. Cheers!

[tall kindle]

Lol

[pallid totem]

Is repacking easy? I think my mod isn't working because it's from 2024

[tall kindle]

Yeah so I'm also fairly new to Nike modding and the first method I learned for repacking is a bit tedious but someone (Na0h I think) made a nifty program that automatically repacks old mods. It's pretty good but occasionally doesn't work and in the cases where it doesn't work I would have to repack manually

[pallid totem]

Can you share the tool? Sound something similar to character fix in XXMI if you know it.

[tall kindle]

No idea lol

[tall kindle]

#1041208182539825182 message

[pallid totem]

I think the link is broken?

[hot citrus]

Guys, my NMM doesnt work so I wanted to check if the lastest NMM version is 0.31. Is it?

[pallid totem]

Hmm, I'm wondering if my NMM is working as well

[pallid totem]

It is basing of this link from the guide
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1s6TToYLVUKGQTyzn_gdOjbvzexOQffjd/view

[pallid totem]

Can't get mods to work for this Privaty Swap

[pallid totem]

I have no JSON in this files

[pallid totem]

Ok, this mod does, but I'm not sure others wont

[final leaf]

what's the issue that you are facing?

[pallid totem]

It looks like older mods dont work. Like this child rapi over rapi

And this privaty one which gives her CN outfit

Besides that more recent mods work fine

Oh, wait looks like the older mods are working for some unknown reason. I got no clue what fixed it.

[final leaf]

anyway, incase you want to use old mods that aren't working, you need to repack it. the middle mod file you shared is super old, before NMM was a thing. that why you see such weird names. those mods definitely require repacking to work

[pallid totem]

There's a repacker tool made by Noah? But what does manual repacking look like?

[final leaf]

well, manual is simple enough, and it will give you some ideas about how most other types of mods work. but if you are comparing it with a tool that is made to make it easy, then ofc manual is more difficult than that.

https://nikke-modding-wiki.vercel.app/modCreation

click on the repack section from the sidebar, it will take you there

[void pond]

bingle repacker script failing means you don't have UnityPy 1.21 properly installed or you're missing the 10~12GB of dependencies from Microsoft Build Tools installation

[void pond]

yep
Dorothy, Drake, Mermaid, etc

[void pond]

delete everything there with date older than April 30, and delete all the files ending with .nds
You should end with only three .db files and when you launch your game you should get another new .nds files..... so 6 files in total should be in that folder at the end

[pastel inlet]

Does the character swapper do it automatically? Or is it a different process? My swaps are ending up as pink squares, even after repacking

[fresh gust]

If I had $1 for every time NaOh was typed as "Noah"...

@void pond Getting an error where I have tqdm module installed in Pyython, but the Doro Tools updater isn't recognizing it?

But doing 'pip install tqdm' tells me the module is installed

[void pond]

#1041207949508497548 message
https://autocompressor.net/av1?s=UyoiMbYz

Basically you follow the video to use the user interface and the tool does the job, ofc first you need to install all the required stuff (10/12GB of Visual C++ dependencies, .NET SDK 8, etc)
I included the required stuff that can be installed automatically in my tool, but the 12GB of dependencies from Microsoft Build Tools are something the user needs to install manually

I know that installation can be automated too but I'll leave it to the users

[pastel inlet]

Thank you!

[void pond]

on github you can find the link to Build Tools and a quick video about what you need to install with it

[pastel inlet]

Everything is working correctly now! Thanks for your help!

[whole verge]

Hello! Just a quick question, are the lobby and burst swap tools for KXDƎ working at the moment?

[fresh gust]

@void pond in case the screenshot helps at all:

[void pond]

tqdm is installed when you run 1_INSTALL_REQUIREMENTS.bat tho

probably you downloaded the tool in parts instead of the whole repo as zip?

[void pond]

all of the tools included here #1041207949508497548 message

the lobby and burst swappers are outdated atm but you still can use them to make swaps from before the last patch that added Mermaid/MiharaBC

[fresh gust]

unfortunately not, downloaded whole thing as .zip -- is it because of what drive I have it on?

[void pond]

can you screenshot your doro tools folder?

[pallid totem]

Is there an organize place for mods here, like Gamebanana? The mods are kind of all over the place here, I won't lie.

[fresh gust]

@void pond This is the screenshot, thanks for your help:

[fresh gust]

Unfortunately not

[pallid totem]

Damn, I wonder why mods aren't uploaded to Gamebanana, it would make sorting a lot easier. There's already a page for Nikke.

https://gamebanana.com/games/18055

[void pond]

it should work no matter the location tho, on my video I was running it from my drive F

then try opening CMD and typing

pip install tqdm==4.66.5

tqdm is the module for the progress bar feature

[void pond]

Shift Up was actively hunting modders some time ago, that's why they barely share mods outside of their own servers

And because We were doing skin swaps to get $60 skins for free (probably)

[fresh gust]

😐

[void pond]

ok try this one

[fresh gust]

Same tqdm error unfort

[valid moon]

[valid moon]

[lapis cloud]

definitely unintentional, what browser are you using

[final leaf]

opera GX

[lapis cloud]

right now ive really only tested this with a firefox browser

[valid moon]

yooo me too

[final leaf]

browsers causing issues is mad...why can't they all behave the same? that would slightly ease developers

we already have enough to think about with all the different screen sizes

[lapis cloud]

because none of them want to agree on something and it makes me want to cry thinking about it

Text rendering is a whole nother can of worms

[final leaf]

[lapis cloud]

there is no "standard" behavior and i dont think there will ever be

everyone will just keep doing their own thing

[torpid bane]

I also search daily about my stuff on google, discord, reddit and twitter

despite saying my DMs are open to feedback, self searching is much more effective

[final leaf]

makes sense, people like chatting about stuffs rather than asking the dev about it. most likely to not disturb the devs? so its more like "I wish they had done this" rather than "could you do this?". idk, I'm just trying to think why this is the case.

[torpid bane]

yup

[valid moon]

thats what i was thinking too

[torpid bane]

yeah

I've done a google form survey once and I received a lot of feedback through it

had 100 answers, wonder how many I'd get today

gallery, chibi and tierlist and half the l2d tools come from this survey

[final leaf]

are you really quitting like gjopin said?

[torpid bane]

doubt, I've always been sarcastic about it

I hate the game but I like my guild mates

[valid moon]

[torpid bane]

so long as the guild stands I'll stay

[valid moon]

cant relate bru i joined a random union 🥀

[final leaf]

same reason I didn't quit a hentai game for a long time, we dont play that game for the H stuffs, but for the battles instead. all coz I like my union

[valid moon]

what

[final leaf]

can't say the same about Nikke tho, joined a dead union

[torpid bane]

I joined some random union with a discord server for the 1st UR, knew no one in it

[valid moon]

idk im used to it

[torpid bane]

but they're pretty funny I stayed in the same union since the beginning

[valid moon]

playing gachas daily

i think i left my first one for a better one

i browsed in game tho

[final leaf]

anyway, glad that you staying

[valid moon]

yeah im already used to using nikke db to make screenshots of my mods

[torpid bane]

I need db to funnel traffic to limbus db and advertise my future ko-fi

aka I need to finish limbus db before nikke anime release

[final leaf]

Limbus Company?

[torpid bane]

ye

[final leaf]

how do you make so many DBs that large? you pay for servers?

[torpid bane]

nikke db is fully client side so free

[final leaf]

wait whaaa

[torpid bane]

limbus db I'll host the front and images onto pages services ( like db ) , the server for the backend will cost me 4€ a month

[lapis cloud]

exploit cloudflare free tier

you can make like 100 projects and each can have 20k files with 25mb max file size

[torpid bane]

yeah, cloudflare free tier is so dumb lol

their s3 service is so useless when page hosting exists

[lapis cloud]

nkas operates on like

5 different pages projects

ridiculous how this is all for free

[torpid bane]

I have two

image hoster and actual website

for LC I'll have 3

image hoster, l2d hoster, website

[lament loom]

lobby mods are working overall? after applying one all mods stopped work :/

[gentle merlin]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DIhn_XsvG9qBpTln7WoaRolq7VdFoDFKR5R103P_FkM
just a question, this link is still relevant right

and nothing changed too much i hope?

[tulip lagoon]

read the very first line of text when you open the doc

[final leaf]

that, and it will stay relevant as long as ShiftUp doesn't change anything

[gentle merlin]

ok classic

[tacit phoenix]

I have a question. So right now I have many mods installed and there is this line in the guide

can I just deactivate them one by one while the game is active or must I restart the game each time I apply a modification to the mods ?

[final leaf]

you can't apply mods while game is running

[tacit phoenix]

ok ty

[final leaf]

The changes are:

1. Now there are dedicated pages based on your activity, if you just want to apply mod, the home/mod installation page is enough for you, and for modder, they can go to modCreation page. In the Doc, there were no such tab system, so everything had to be dumped in a single page, and because of that, the layout there is based on a workflow: 1. install tools -> 2. Create mods -> Apply mods.
2. For people that need to generate key, they can either download the script and run it locally as they did previously, OR they can simply upload their settings file and get the generated keys from the website.
3. The sidebar doesn't take up spaces from the content anymore, you can open it, close it, move it around, so you can view the website from your phone as well.
4. The videos are embedded in the website now, so you don't have to go to another link or download it anymore.
5. The images can be opened here and zoomed in and panned if you need.
6. Darker theme. Don't have to burn your eyes anymore.
7. Easier to update files. Previously, I'd have to go to google Drive and upload the file, and then make the necessary changes on the Doc as well, now I can just update the file locally and just push the update.
8. Some people commented gibberish on the Doc, prolly by mistake. No longer need to see such notifications.
9. Easier to control versions than on google Doc.

[gentle merlin]

thanks!

also i am trying to find rapi: red hood standing file in alteri site. but for some reason cant find the file with the same name as in alteri site in my local folder

wait i already have a mod for those so does that affect anything

[final leaf]

yep, if you already have a mod of the file, then it has already been changed

[gentle merlin]

got it

[final leaf]

you have to deactivate and then apply in NMM again

[gentle merlin]

so i uncheck and redownload it

alright

[final leaf]

@fervent spoke shouldn't have any issues getting keys anymore, since no need to run the script . just need an updated settings file

[lapis cloud]

still cant believe he cant run a node script

[final leaf]

@spare stratus could you please remove the 2nd pin (the google doc link) and pin this instead:

Nikke Modding Wiki: https://nikke-modding-wiki.vercel.app/

[final leaf]

thanks!

[spare stratus]

[gentle merlin]

So a quick doubt , so if you wanna remove something from the texture file(say an accessory), do you just like remove it in paint or something

[final leaf]

yep

[brittle rune]

can nmm or nikke mod manager used in mobile

[final leaf]

no

[void pond]

@valid moon built into an .exe for portable usage

[vast osprey]

This is sth for PMA?

[zealous minnow]

Hello, I was reading the modding wiki and I wanted to ask if the "press apply on touch to continue screen" is no longer needed since I don't see it there and I'm failing to get mods to work

Nvm they worked

My bad

[void pond]

it does the same convertion than koshirei website: Straight Alpha to PMA and PMA to Straight

useful for modders I guess

[vast osprey]

Hmm I didn't know website does that, nice tool 👍

[brittle rune]

Can you put uninstall mods on the final list because I accidentally uninstalled

[final leaf]

huh?

[brittle rune]

The uninstall mods step

Paste it to last page

[final leaf]

the last page is for credits tho....and nothing else

[brittle rune]

Yea put it next to credits

Or put uninstall mod behind troubleshooting mod

[final leaf]

nah, that wouldn't make sense. Instead, what I can do for you is that mark the "Install" text in green and the "Uninstall" text in red. will that be alright?

[brittle rune]

Sure

[final leaf]

while at it, I'll mark the Troubleshooting text to yellow as well

[brittle rune]

Alr

[brittle rune]

So I just redownloaded the mods and when I applied it still not working

I got d Nikke mod made by catalyzer, recent mihara mod and Cinderella mod 0

[final leaf]

you uuh didn't have to redownload u know? it says "uninstall mod" but its just deactivating it...you still have the original mod file

[zealous minnow]

If I have a mod I got with character swap tool around december and today it's doing nothing would I need to repack it to make it work?

[final leaf]

or are you talking about lobby mod?

either way, that issue has nothing to do with uninstalling a mod

since you redownloaded the mod, most likely those mods are invalid

[brittle rune]

So what am I suppose to do

[final leaf]

well, give it a try and see if that fixes?

[final leaf]

repack

[brittle rune]

I accidentally deleted 256GB of games and accidentally deleted the mod

[final leaf]

huh???

[brittle rune]

How do I repack

[brittle rune]

Accidentally deleted the mods along with files

[final leaf]

but...how did you accidentally delete 256GB of games?

[brittle rune]

I was going to delete 256GB of files

But accidentally deleted nikke mods

[brittle rune]

Files sorry

So anyways how do I repack

[final leaf]

the ways to repack a mod is also written in the guide, in the ModCreation page

either follow that, or there are some tools around here that automates the process for you, you could use those

[brittle rune]

Can you link me to the thread

[final leaf]

link to what? the page? or the tool?

[brittle rune]

Page and tool

[final leaf]

manual repack:
https://nikke-modding-wiki.vercel.app/modCreation
auto repack: #1041208182539825182 message

[void pond]

I included Na0h exe repacker if ppl don't want to install additional stuff only for repack

[final leaf]

oh noice, where is it?

[brittle rune]

so if i accidentally uninstalled from %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Unity\com_proximabeta_NIKKE

will it repacked

[zealous minnow]

What's the difference between na0h repacker and doro repacker

[final leaf]

do you have the Nikke game? if so, open the game 1st and let it download the latest files

[brittle rune]

yes

[void pond]

included in the download
although the mega folder link is listed in the script megadownloader.py if you only want Na0h repacker

[brittle rune]

does it make the mod reappear

[void pond]

@final leaf nvm lol
#1041208182539825182 message

[final leaf]

no, its the game that is downloading stuffs. why/how would the game know if you used mods or not, and in fact if the game knew, you would be banned by now. the game only downloads original files that has nothing to do with mods (modified) files

[brittle rune]

do you think its really hard to mod

or let alone create a mod

[final leaf]

well it varies from person to person, wouldn't it? some people are tech savvy, while others are not. its pretty easy for me. but can't say the same for everyone

[brittle rune]

did you studied about it too?

for something that is related to tech/ computer

[final leaf]

uuuh u mean like taking subject/course in school/college to learn about how to use computer or technology in general? no, just learned by using it and exploring it over the years.

[brittle rune]

ok

you might be getting a ace if you take the subject in college too

[final leaf]

there are no general subject for computer in college. there is an entire department for that named Computer Science and Engineering covering various kinds of topics that can be done with computers and related techs. they don't teach general use.

[brittle rune]

oh

do i have to extract it now or wait until it download first

[zealous minnow]

I can't seem to get character swapper mods to work, I downloaded all the new doro tools, tried na0h repacker, even downloaded naga skin (the one I've been testing with) from KXDE mediafire but it just won't work

This mod #modded-assets message works for me so maybe I'm just doing something wrong with the character swapper

[brittle rune]

nah ngl

modding is a pain but atleast you earned it though

[void pond]

do u have Microsoft C++ Build Tools installed with the 10GB~12GB of required dependencies?

[zealous minnow]

yes I checked the video again just in case

That's on the modify tab, should I reinstall/repair?

[void pond]

no errors when you ran 1_INSTALL_REQUIREMENTS.bat ?

[zealous minnow]

I've been using the X_MAINBATFILE but it doesn't show me any errors and I get the swap complete popup at the end

[void pond]

after to install Build Tools dependencies you need to install the remaining stuff with 1_INSTALL_REQUIREMENTS.bat like I show on my video
https://autocompressor.net/av1?s=UyoiMbYz

[zealous minnow]

Oh wait you meant those requirements, no it didn't give me any errors, my bad

[void pond]

oh then you get files generated in the folder "Repacked" when you click on "open output folder"?

[zealous minnow]

Yes, the files are there, they just do nothing but they're definitely there

I mean they do nothing when I put them on mods folder

And activate them and all that

[void pond]

can you load them on NMM mod viewer?

[zealous minnow]

They're loading right now, don't know if it's normal it takes a little while

[void pond]

Do you have AssetStudio?

or send one of the swaps you made here so I can check if the swap is working or not

to check if the data in the file is being swapped

[zealous minnow]

I only got nmm from wiki

[void pond]

ok definitely there is something wrong with the data being swapped, the data is not Naga skin 2 data

Imma check my sheet to see if it was my mistake

[zealous minnow]

Could it be because of the X_MAINBATFILE? Since in the video I see you do it with the other bats

[void pond]

wait nvm lmao, I was looking at the wrong data
The swap is working

so maybe there is something wrong with NMM loading the swap?

[zealous minnow]

I guess it is, because Mihara mod is working so it's weird naga just doesn't do nothing

[void pond]

gimme a moment, Imma swap them myself to see if the problem is in the scripts

[zealous minnow]

Wait I think I got it for some reason I had to run nmm as admin to work before I disabled it and naga is there

[void pond]

[zealous minnow]

https://tenor.com/view/eto-bleh-gif-14618428694469046242

Thanks for your help

[void pond]

configure NMM to run as Admin by default, that's what I did

[zealous minnow]

I did, but that's what made naga not work since disabling it worked

AruThink

[void pond]

I'm confused now

https://tenor.com/view/doro-thinking-gif-13015072109773951737

[zealous minnow]

It should be run as an admin to work?

[void pond]

if it's working for you without Admin privileges then it's fine
I guess to run as Admin is needed only when you set nikke.exe game path so NMM can delete UnityCrashHandler.exe

[brittle rune]

i got ,net downloaded

[final leaf]

that's not my tool, so I can't help you with that much. but from your ss, it seems u need to update it, just press yes

[brittle rune]

i have updated

[final leaf]

then what is the issue now?

[brittle rune]

idk

[void pond]

https://builds.dotnet.microsoft.com/dotnet/Sdk/6.0.428/dotnet-sdk-6.0.428-win-x64.exe

[final leaf]

wait, don't tell me that you just downloaded it, but didn't install?

[void pond]

wrong reply

[void pond]

https://builds.dotnet.microsoft.com/dotnet/Sdk/6.0.428/dotnet-sdk-6.0.428-win-x64.exe

I don't remember if Bingle UABEA needs specifically NET SDK 6 to work but I got it installed as well

[final leaf]

and I didn't notice that its UABEA, thought he would go with auto repack

[void pond]

not sure if I need NET 6-7 when I got 8-9 installed too

[final leaf]

no need I believe

that's all I have

and it works for me

[void pond]

NET 9 is for Visual Studio so welp..... time to uninstall the other ones

[final leaf]

visual studio?

what for?

code or without code btw?

as in VS Code? or just Visual Studio?

idk about VS, but so far I never needed it for VS Code

[void pond]

I was trying to move the effects remover to C# to build it in an portable exe...... but since Idk C# programming this is taking a while even with deepseek

[final leaf]

hmmm, I see

[void pond]

just trying new stuff

[brittle rune]

Wait

It seems like the mod from d nimme made by catalyzer isn't working

[arctic rock]

how to download a mod from https://kxdekxde.github.io/nikke/characters.html

[void pond]

that list is only to know what names to use for my doro tools #1041207949508497548 message

[arctic rock]

ooh i understand it now

[void pond]

the first video + the instructions on github are all you need to use the character swapper, if what you're looking for is to get their skins
But if you're looking for nsfw mods you can check #modded-assets

the pinned messages there have got some links to them... my own mods are outdated so ignore my mediafire link

[zealous minnow]

What could this error in portrait swapper be about?

[void pond]

if you're swapping a portrait you already swapped before you need to empty the folder "Repacked" because the script to rename files is finding duplicated files

[brittle rune]

the mods from d wife nikke mod made by catalyzer is invaild

[warm mantle]

So how do I install the Mods?

[valid moon]

https://nikke-modding-wiki.vercel.app/

[brittle rune]

alr so i repacked the files followed by the tutorial

and it still not working

[void pond]

did u use NAU on it? because NAU can corrupt the files if they are not encrypted and you run NAU on them

[final leaf]

are mods usually encrypted with NAU after making them? modders use their own encryption method to prevent reselling iirc, but do they use NAU to encrypt them? coz if so, then I'll have to remove the 1st line

[vast osprey]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWsDM0-9e-o

[void pond]

I mean they probably used NAU on Catalyzer mod that doesn't need NAU

[final leaf]

realized later that what I said doesn't make sense, modded files dun really need to be put on NAU since they are already decrypted. gotta fix the guide

[void pond]

when UABEA shows the message about file is not a bundle I guess it's encrypted, that's what I meant

[final leaf]

yea

[void pond]

You can clarify that mods from 2023 and older with hashed names like jfr57845fg585gj are encrypted

[final leaf]

true

[fresh gust]

FYI in case other people ask in the future - having an older version of Python installed in a location other than your scripts' default location will mess things up

So the fix was to uninstall all instances of Python and run your scripts again

the new UI for the character swapper is great btw

[fallen lance]

new catalog, mods are broken

[void pond]

@vale wind code

[fallen lance]

I guess we need to wait for @magic niche to update NMM

[magic niche]

sec

[void pond]

no changes for me

I logged in right now and everything works

[fallen lance]

mine was stuck at 57%

I had to delete catalog

[magic niche]

yeah no changes for me either

[fallen lance]

I haven't tried to apply mods again, waiting for Danieru's green light

[magic niche]

should be working

[fallen lance]

ok, I'll try mods then

[magic niche]

maybe you have a mod thats not working or something else

[fallen lance]

thanks

maybe

[fresh gust]

I also got stuck at 57%, but then there was a 2 MB download and several error screens LOL - but I got in and my mods are working

[fallen lance]

it's working now

[hasty arrow]

Sorry not sure if this is the place to ask, but where or how can we get the base (video file?) for Mihara's Bonding Pain MLB lobby (non-gacha one)

[torpid bane]

you can't . the files aren't a video

[fallen lance]

is the Lobby/Burst tab from NMM working?

[gentle merlin]

is there any way to get each part of texture atlas into a separate layer easily

and manually trying to match it with the original image

[unique vale]

Photoshop or probably any program like it that can grab and rearrange the different parts. Are you trying to get the full character image from the texture atlas?

[gentle merlin]

ideally yes but id take each part into different layers

but i assume the former is not really possible

right now i am manually selecting each part

or do people just work with separate parts

[lapis hearth]

sir @void pond. which units does effect remover support?

[void pond]

all of them until Mermaid and Mihara

I play with Mermaid ult effects removed so it's working

[lapis hearth]

oh

how do I type asuka wind?

[void pond]

asuka wille

[lapis hearth]

for midhara, it is mihara bonding chain, right?

[void pond]

yup

[lapis hearth]

the download part when applying takes too long now bruh

[void pond]

NMM? the remover doesn't need NMM tho

[lapis hearth]

i was talking in general

[void pond]

effects files are small in comparison with characters, so they should load fast

[opal cargo]

why i cant delete UnityCrashHandler64?

although i have done all the tutorials

[final leaf]

most likely coz something is using it. open task manager and close all instances on UnityCrashHandler64 and all instances of "tbs_browser"

[olive kelp]

I pressed Apply File in Mode Manager, but only compilation downloads continue to appear and do not apply

[olive kelp]

Thank you

[agile flare]

Where can I find the .json file for A1teri?

[final leaf]

@fervent oasis just letting you know, the site was already pinned previously by Dr. Paradox (the 2nd pin)

[final leaf]

I dun think anyone posted the news ones here

[agile flare]

Oof

So can't use A1teri anymore?

Is there anything else that will help me get the character numbers

I need them to repack older stuff

[final leaf]

if you could decrypt the catalog files yourself (and share), then that would help but there is nothing else that we know that could help you find your desired files.

[agile flare]

The amount of work a man needs to do just to see some tiddies

[tall kindle]

Does the a1teri not work anymore? I swear I was able to use it pretty recently to look up the files for repacking and stuff. And none of the mods I've uploaded or repacked since the 2.5 anniversary have gone purple or anything like that either.

[agile flare]

Hmm, can you share the catalog files please. I seem to have the older ones which are not usable anymore.

[tall kindle]

Aight gimme a bit tho

[agile flare]

No worries, take your time

Better than trying to decrypt them myself

You can DM me or just mention me here whenever you're ready

[tall kindle]

I will say however there was 1 diesel mod I was working with recently that I had trouble with. It was one for her 2nd skin. I had some trouble getting it working but it did end up working. I tried to have it be out on the base skin so that it would come up in stories or encounters or whatever but I could never get that part working. Either she wouldn't load or it came out purple

[misty river]

Endless loading, what should I do?

[tall kindle]

pertty sure these are the ones i have on a1teri. if these don't work then they might need to be redone since i got these from a nikke modding guide lady wrote

[tall kindle]

maybe this can help?
#1041207949508497548 message

How can I install mods in the game for the mobile version ?

how do i install on macos?

[elder ermine]

Hey uh question anyone know how to repack old mods? some of my old ones broke so I was hoping to be able to get them working again

KXDE has a repacker, find the Doro Tools in the pins

[gentle merlin]

Hey I mean i made a quick ade mod, dont have acces to #modded-assets so if anyone reposts it its fine

[final leaf]

@spare stratus could you please give him access to post mods?

[spare stratus]

Done

I mean given

[gentle merlin]

Thanks!

[final leaf]

@gentle merlin just a suggestion, add a image for preview so that people knows what exactly they will be downloading

[gentle merlin]

Got it

[gentle merlin]

Ok phew so I can't just paint over everything and expect it to look good. How do people change the weights/spine or whatever to match exactly.

[vast osprey]

With Spine

There is no other way

[gentle merlin]

I'll ignore that then

[slate prism]

For mods that change a specific skin, how do I change what skin it replaces? Like if I download a mod for Cinderella base, how do I change it to override a different skin instead?

[final leaf]

same as making a regular character mod, except that you will need to modify the atlas as well to match the skin

[desert plinth]

mods not working on nmm031 ?

[twin lichen]

Guys my nikke is infinite loading at 43%

what should I do

[fresh gust]

@desert plinth @twin lichen #1041207949508497548 message

Try the above, usually fixes

Mods are confirmed working on 0.3.1, just need to follow the instructions

[cosmic plume]

How to actually decrypt modded assets, bcs nau only encrypts them?

[valid moon]

they’re already decrypted

can we remove encryption from nau 🥀

[cosmic plume]

O, thx, feel stupid now)

[glacial tangle]

I have some problems with the repacker. Why does it make this error? Not every old mod can be repcked?

[desert plinth]

thank you so much

[void pond]

modded files don't look like that tho

those filenames tell me they are raw files so probably they are encrypted as well

[glacial tangle]

damn ok and how are they suppose too look like?

I took those mods from the modded assets channel

[gentle merlin]

hey so quick question ,how do i avoid these tiny white dots

on of course the edited textures

they are giving me hell for a lot of time now and idk what is causing it

[silver matrix]

Might be PMA causing it. Like it says here.

.

I had the same problem when trying to create my Aria mod. Another option is to take the exported png and convert to STA, edit and then convert back to PMA using Koshirei's site.

I'm not sure if Lady's site has that function available too but you could check it out as well.

[void pond]

gjopin mods are updated already, if you check pinned messages in #modded-assets you can find his mega folder with those mods so you don't need to repack them yourself

[glacial tangle]

thx a lot bro!

[glacial tangle]

So sorry to bother again but the problem is still not fixed. The mod name seams ok to me plus the mods made by 117il3 are working just fine... I'm using version 0_3_1 of NMM.

I see it in the mod list but the preview never loads and it does't change the skin in-game.

[void pond]

those mods from 2024 surely need repack, I thought He repacked all his mods

[void pond]

The viewer works with Na0h mods mostly

[glacial tangle]

guess he didn't I'll try doing it myself

[void pond]

dunno why the repacker doesn't work for you but welp

[glacial tangle]

You are too good for me bro

[gentle merlin]

Thank you I wil try this

[void pond]

I built an Alpha converter that does the same thing than Koshirei website if you need
#1041208182539825182 message

[gentle merlin]

hey i am trying to use Koshireis, site, how exactly do i convert to PMA again btw

i have my custom, skel, atlas, png loaded up

[gentle merlin]

or this tool idk what i am looking at tbh. so can i use my edited png in your tool? and what exactly should i convert it into

i took my png converted to STA using your tool, and now i edit the white pixels?

[gentle merlin]

ok i figured it out

so is it just better to work with STA

[void pond]

iirc NIKKE textures are in PMA, you need to convert them to Straight>edit them as you want>convert them back from Straight to PMA and import them back to the bundle

that is the process to not get the white edges

[gentle merlin]

yep did that, works

phew

begone white lines

[final leaf]

it doesn't, because it's not a spine viewer. But I did mention what that issue is in "modding suggestion" page and also mentioned what they could do, including the tools that could help them out like Nikke-DB and WWE

[deft pilot]

Guys, where i can download v20 key and v21 key if they have

[final leaf]

generate it. the pinned wiki tells you how to do it, and can also generate it for you

[deft pilot]

oh we have new wiki. i wil take da look. Thank u

v18-22 thank u

[gentle merlin]

ok i cant for the love of my life figure out hwo to remove this

i paint black and black appears in the visible layer as well

and i just cant paint black over this white

[unique vale]

i think its got something to do with alpha layer or something, some drawing setting that I think paint.net or photoshop has iirc

[final leaf]

not 100% sure if this is the reason, but maybe try this:
if paint.net: #1041207949508497548 message
if photoshop: #1041207949508497548 message

[twin lichen]

It still doesnt work what should I do bro...

It just keeps loading at 43%

[fresh gust]

You've done something wrong if the above didn't work - have you tried with different mods? You could be using outdated ones

[torpid bane]

drag and drop the picture on the big button that says convert to pma

it's in the custom spine loader options

it's as easy as it gets

[delicate spoke]

Hi, I did everything as it is written here about using mods, but when I enter the game, not a single mod is visible. Can you help or where should I go to clarify?

[void pond]

https://nikke-modding-wiki.vercel.app/

[knotty bloom]

nikke mod manager is taking a long time to apply mods im new so im confused

[tall kindle]

Welcome to nikke modding lol. Sometimes you ight have to open the game 2 or more times for the mods to actually apply. And make sure graphics settings is set to "high" or mods won't work. And make sure to hit "apply" and wait ten seconds before you launch the game.

[delicate spoke]

doesn't work ( okay. play without mods (

[stable pilot]

are you using old mods?

[delicate spoke]

download last mods from "modded assets" for test

[stable pilot]

done the troubleshooting?

[humble aurora]

guys i am planning to learn how to mod this game, i am currently going through the wiki and installing stuff, any other sites/videos/anything else that can help me?

[fresh gust]

Using mods, or creating mods?

Either way, most stuff is compiled on https://nikke-modding-wiki.vercel.app/

[humble aurora]

yeah i was reading that

but when i downloaded the NAU and UABEA

those 2 were broken or smthin

neither winrar or 7zip was able to extract them :/

[fresh gust]

Same here, @final leaf might know more about that

[humble aurora]

did some digging (aka checking pinned messages) and found this guy and their Doro tools

[final leaf]

hmm? what happens when u try to download them?

[fresh gust]

KXDE has some older links here: #1041207949508497548 message

[fresh gust]

"Unknown format or damaged"

[humble aurora]

got the same error

[fresh gust]

@humble aurora we used to use this, maybe you can use it in the interim? https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DIhn_XsvG9qBpTln7WoaRolq7VdFoDFKR5R103P_FkM/edit?tab=t.0

[humble aurora]

ok, i'll check it out!

[humble aurora]

btw i got NAU working through Doro tools

[final leaf]

checking into what could cause this issue

[gentle merlin]

yeah the links where just leading to empty zip files

1kb

[final leaf]

fixed it, can someone please check now?

[tender gate]

Guys is it true that it's 12GB at least, to make a char swap? I want to swap Cinderella's new skin for base and scarlet's gacha skin... Is it possible to install those 12GB in an external disk? thanks for helping!

[humble aurora]

its working now 👍

[pulsar ledge]

Hello... happy afternoon... Does anyone know how to use Doro Tools (Nikke's swap mod tool) so they can help me swap the bursts please?

[pulsar ledge]

@void pond

[void pond]

go to the folder Burst_Swapper and follow this guide
https://autocompressor.net/av1?s=KpcpJTWs

run X_MAINBATFILE.bat and you will see the tool menu to proceed with the swap

I'm assuming you have doro tools requirements installed already

👍

[void pond]

yea, around 10GB~12GB or maybe more depending on Windows 11, I use Windows 10 and for me it was around 10GB
The good news about it is you only need to install these stuff one time and that let you to use all of the tools I made and I'll make in the future I guess

[pulsar ledge]

Yes, that's exactly why I'm asking, because I don't fully understand how the burst swapper works. Thanks for sending me the guide.

and sorry for the inconvenience

[void pond]

ignore the part where I show what to install then, just follow the part for the tool

👍

[pulsar ledge]

ok

[void pond]

np, and btw the burst swapper is for the animation you see when you use characters ultimate... and the lobby swapper is for the animation you put on your homescreen

[pulsar ledge]

Yes I know, I just want to change the burst of some characters to match their skin

Just out of curiosity, why don't you upload a detailed guide to Doro Tools to YouTube? I mean, it would be more convenient, and you'd save yourself from having to explain things like this or send the videos.

[void pond]

an important thing: burst swaps can bug the game for content as co-op, so have that in mind when you swap files
You can fix it just swapping the original character back before to do co-op and then you can swap them back after co-op events end, for example swapping Cinderella 00 over Cinderella 00 restores Cinderella 00 original burst file

[pulsar ledge]

ok, thanks for the warning

[void pond]

I don't trust youtube videos because they are easier to take down by copyright and stuff..... on my videos I use music with copyright sometimes + nsfw mods for my examples

[pulsar ledge]

Okay. No problem then, I'll go try swapping the bursts and come back later.

[void pond]

some Genshin modders had good tutorials uploaded on youtube and now they gone forever because nsfw flag I think

https://tenor.com/view/robert-downey-jr-tony-stark-iron-man-it-is-what-it-is-gif-16600298

[tender gate]

thats good to know, can i install the app and tools on an external disk right? i just want to swap cindy and scarlet skins xd

[void pond]

the mod manager (NMM) and NIKKE need to be installed on your drive C: to work I think

[pulsar ledge]

Hey, when you change the burst, only the animation changes, the audio remains the same, is that how it works?

[void pond]

yep, the audio is stored in separated encrypted files that can't be modded anymore after ShiftUp spies in this community saw the video about how to mod them

[pulsar ledge]

Ok

Then no problems

Thanks for the help

[void pond]

[tender gate]

well then I'm not able to install it e.e I'm running my sys in a 120gb ssd and it's almost full, i'll waiting until a good samaritan uploads a cindy and scarlet swap, thank you for your help, and for your hard work for the community!

[fresh gust]

Works for me as long as they're on the same drive, doesn't have to be C:\ (at least for me)

@tender gate DM

[toxic crypt]

Imma steal later to test, I guess.
Standalone program feels fine.

[toxic crypt]

For future editing, make sure you have Straight color texture. Not PMA. Artifacts mostly appear when editing transparent PMA pixels

If they still persist, change software or antialiasing settings for selection tools

[void pond]

I converted some textures and checked the results on a spine viewer, I didn't test the results in-game

[humble aurora]

guys how do I edit the texture 2D asset? Just following the wiki for now but the texture2D that AssetStudio exported is broken apart in different segments (also can I use clip studio paint? Already have it and i am comfortable drawing in it)

like it didnt specify, do I just edit this image as it is or is there some other program or something that arranges them accordingly? which makes editing easier

[void pond]

Idk in-game but the tool works on koshirei spine viewer, no white edges after to paint out of the edges on Photoshop

[final leaf]

u edit them as it is, to edit them while being arranged, u need spine pro ($369).

[humble aurora]

So I have to just guess what I am editing is the part that I want to edit?

And then confirm it by using one of the spine viewers listed in the wiki?

[final leaf]

u could do it like this:
#1041207949508497548 message

[void pond]

do you have miagi tool btw? I can't find it so I guess I deleted it for some reason or when I was reinstalling Windows

[final leaf]

miagiTool/spineTool has been changed to Waifu Wallpaper Engine (WWE in short) by SteveHB:
#1041207949508497548 message

[void pond]

it works the same way than the old tool?

[final leaf]

yep

just has more functionality

[void pond]

oh nice, time to download

[toxic crypt]

Spineviewer and spine runtime look the same. Only difference is unity's physics and morphs

[void pond]

welp, it works #1041208182539825182 message I just painted with Photoshop and no white edges.... I didn't use Paint.NET to delete white edges since they were not there

[humble aurora]

Ohh that looks pretty neat! Will try that!

[final leaf]

give your thanks to Na0h, he deserves that

[humble aurora]

@rocky shell Thanks mate!

[toxic crypt]

If you don't have spine pro you can, render a full model on Koshirei's site. Export the first frame as high res PNG. Then you paint over it and then cut it to the texture and resize to make it match. Then do some adjustments. Works well enough

[rocky shell]

even with Spine2D Pro, I work exactly as Werd-Conn... described. so it's not much easier to mod with spinepro either...

[gentle merlin]

but can modify the weights/animation or something right

[rocky shell]

yeah, and I can paint outside the boundaries of the assets

[gentle merlin]

i mean ig it is fucking expensive

like if it was 10-20 dollars sure, but lmfao

[humble aurora]

I'll try that, can you give me the link for that site?

[gentle merlin]

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

[humble aurora]

This is the site right?

So. I just take the first frame from it and edit over it and then cut it into the textures?

[gentle merlin]

you can export

[toxic crypt]

Yeah

Export the first frame 4000x4000

Then paint over it on separate layers

After you're done. Copy and adjust in the texture png

[humble aurora]

got it!

[humble aurora]

why are there white lines around every body part? How do i fix it? I use CSP to draw if that matters (ignore what i drew, i am just experimenting and drew it with a touchpad :p, my tab broke)

[final leaf]

that's transparency issue

[final leaf]

go to the nikke db, there is a PMA to STA converter and vice versa. or you can try this:
if paint.net: #1041207949508497548 message
if photoshop: #1041207949508497548 message
idk what csp is and what settings to set there, but if that's what u want to use, then see if there is a similar settings on it

[humble aurora]

ok! CSP is clip studio paint btw

[final leaf]

...why did I reply to my own message 🤦‍♂️

[humble aurora]

so i need to turn on anti aliasing?

[final leaf]

yea

[humble aurora]

ok!

[final leaf]

wait, not enable, disable it

@humble aurora

rip, he's gone

[humble aurora]

lol i was too concentrated in drawing

ok i'll disable it!

i'll actually just use paint.net

[final leaf]

yep, that's the safest approach

[humble aurora]

seems more people use that and ps but ps is too costly :(

[final leaf]

and ps has similar issues as well. paint.net is the only one that never faced such issue

[humble aurora]

ok but i cant find the settings

[final leaf]

on paint.net?

[humble aurora]

yeah

i opened settings and the tool window

cant find anything called resterization :/

[final leaf]

no, it's on the ribbon, not inside any settings menu

look for these icons

actually wait, lemme open mine and see where it is

[humble aurora]

this window right?

[humble aurora]

oh

ok found it!

[final leaf]

its now called Aliased rendering it seems

[humble aurora]

yeah

i'll have a tough time with this software tho, all of my usual brushes and stuff is in clip studio T-T

[final leaf]

yep

also, choose the "pixelated selection" option right beside it

[humble aurora]

already did!

[humble aurora]

i tried to use PMA to STA and this happened...

too much makeup it seems

it fixed the whitelines tho
