Modded Assets Questions

[hasty arrow]

ahh ok thank you 😦

[final leaf]

uuuh, dun really know what could be the issue and it's solution since I don't make mods, so never faced it . an actual modder should be able to help you with that .
I just know that for transparency issue, you need to convert it to STA, then make your edits, and then convert it back to PMA. did you convert it back to PMA?

[humble aurora]

wait

so first i have to convert the texture

the original one

to STA

and then make edits and change it back to PMA?

[final leaf]

afaik, yes

hopefully I'm not wrong

[humble aurora]

lemme check, if it works, i can just use csp (i cant work on paint.net)

[torpid bane]

if you mod using db I'm taking a 20% fee on your modding income

[humble aurora]

Ok, i'll gladly give you!

(20% of 0 is 0)

the dark colors are gone, the big white lines are gone, yet these whitelines exists...

[final leaf]

[humble aurora]

ahh i'll work on this later, i havent logged into the game today

[final leaf]

ok, now try doing this:
open the exported texture file with paint.net, and then save as a new teture file, and then try importing that new texture

[humble aurora]

ok lemme try

[humble aurora]

so i first open the exported texture file (the original one) and then save it as the new texture file?

wait i am getting confused

[final leaf]

no

you already made all the edits, right? open that edited texture file with paint.net and then just save as a new texture file (same name, so move your edited one to somewhere else so that u don't lose it). use this latest texture file to check the mod in nikke db

[humble aurora]

ohhh ok

nope, the white lines still exists, at this point i'll just get that spine2D pro...

ahh its probably because of some clip studio setting

i'll check into that

[torpid bane]

bro is too wealthy

[humble aurora]

if i was wealthy, why would i be making mods instead of commisisioning it to someone better :')

[toxic crypt]

If you convert from PMA to STA, you need to toggle off the PMA filter on the spine viewer to make it display properly

As for the lines. If you convert edited (by you. Painted and stuff) PMA to STA, the artifacts will be there

[final leaf]

werd, could you describe the entire process please? I'm thinking of including the entire workflow of fixing transparency to the wiki

[humble aurora]

i converted the original to STA, edited it, then converted it back into PMA, then uploaded into the spine viewer, then turn off the PMA filter and its still like this

turning on changes the darker areas back to white

maybe its something wrong with the edited textures?

just in case

[toxic crypt]

Get the PMA texture. Convert it to STA for editing.
Get a pose (whether standing idle, aim or cover) from Koshirei's site. Export first frame in high resolution.
Paint over the exported image on separate layers for easier importing to the base texture.
When you're done painting, copy the layers onto the texture, resize and fit it in.
Then save the texture and convert back to PMA

Brb, bus stop

[humble aurora]

i directly drew on the textures rather than important the first layer and then doing the other steps

[toxic crypt]

PMA filter should be turned on if the texture is PMA
Vice versa for STA

[humble aurora]

turning on changes it to white

[toxic crypt]

Then you just skip the pose part

[toxic crypt]

Did you paint it before converting to STA?

[humble aurora]

no, i converted to STA

and then painted it, converted it back to PMA

[toxic crypt]

Painting program could be the issue

[humble aurora]

i am using CSP

paint.net doesnt have usual features like a soft air brush

PS is expensive

[toxic crypt]

Well, get a fresh texture and start again. Unless you want to delete each white transparent pixel yourself

[humble aurora]

already tried it twice lol

[toxic crypt]

Do you use any compression for saving the png?

[humble aurora]

I just Ctrl+S when i am done with editing

[toxic crypt]

Then my best guess would be that the program either doesn't handle transparency well or compresses the image before saving

[humble aurora]

ok, any other program except paint.net and PS that i can use?

[toxic crypt]

Krita, Gimp

[humble aurora]

Ok, i'll install Krita and check if it works

[toxic crypt]

I use it and it works well. Just make sure you turn off the antialiasing and selection grow for selection tools

[humble aurora]

ok

so i have to redo the entire edit

sighs

[toxic crypt]

You can try to copy the main parts you edited. But with 5px offset from the edge so the artifacts are left behind

So you won't have to redo much

Just the edges

[humble aurora]

i didnt really do much edit, plus it'll be a good way to familiarize myself with krita

also, i have nothing better to do

lol

[toxic crypt]

I'll be on standby for the next 25 minutes till I get home and at my laptop

So yeah, good luck

[humble aurora]

thansk!

i'll be farming some gems for last day of siren banner while krita installs

nvm its done

[humble aurora]

Used Krita still faced the same issue....

[ruby obsidian]

I assume it is paid through his ko-fi?

[final leaf]

there is free version and paid version, both in his ko-fi

[ruby obsidian]

I see. What about MiagiTool now, can we still get/use it? Will it be publicly free or something. I'm kind of clueless since I wasn't into creating mods for Nikke therefore I never followed the tools

[final leaf]

no, there are no MiagiTool anymore

[unique vale]

that was the one he made to like modify the models right? Then got rid of cuz uh better tool someone made

[final leaf]

yep

[humble aurora]

does Miagi tool or Waifu wallpaper engine works like spine2D?

[fervent spoke]

Well, we used to use spine viewer free to run the model, but the company being a bitch and update spine to 4.2 version now have to use other tool instead

[humble aurora]

and the alternative is WWE?

[final leaf]

it can render .skel, .atlas and .png, so you can view the models in it, but you can't modify the files in that app, it's basically a wallpaper app, where you can load spine models, cubism models etc, and if you make it's custom file (wwebundle), then you can modify the characters as well, but wwebundle can't be used in games ofc, so it cannot be used to mod anything. you can use it as a viewer tho.

[humble aurora]

ohh, that sucks

so its either pay 400$ or make changes individually

the latter of which is not working for me

[final leaf]

the latter is tedious, yes, but it does work for a lot of modders. unfortunately I can't help you with that since idk much about it myself

[humble aurora]

and there isnt any alternatives for spine2D

sighs

i'll try making some random change in paint.net to verify if its a software issue or something else

even with paint.net i am facing the same issues

its probably something I am doing wrong and not software ig

[gentle merlin]

You'll have to start from scratch again probably

Like take the original png convert to sta and work on it

Worked for me , had this issue 2-3 days ago

Also this looks like the sta is not converted back to pma?

Did you do that, cause that's when the eyes have weird lines. Should be that

[vast osprey]

Yeah probably that.

[tender gate]

Does the folder of @barren anvil which is pinned in #modded-assets has a public password?, I can't access to the folder e.e

[valid moon]

skill issue

click on the link not the embed

[tender gate]

rigged

The weapon of mihara isn't tranparent right? I mean the mod on alice folder

[humble aurora]

its a new day, started from scratch, converted PMA to STA and then STA to PMA

i have noticed one issue tho, the wiki says to open the character.bundle file in Asset Studio, but I have to use the original character file to get the text assets and texture 2D and the bundle file wont even open, might be related to this idk

[gentle merlin]

did you actually convert it back into pma before saving in uabea

after you edited in sta

[humble aurora]

isnt UABEA used to pack the files into the format NMM can read? The above images were from before that part in the nikke-db spine viewer

also yes i converted it back after editing

[gentle merlin]

is this from nmm?

like after you finish compressing again

[humble aurora]

no

its from nkke-db spine viewer

[gentle merlin]

ah ok

how does it look in game

[humble aurora]

i actually havent checked that

[gentle merlin]

sta will look like this

better to convert and check everytime

[humble aurora]

but i did convert it to pma

[valid moon]

if it looks fine in nikke db itll look fine in nikke

[humble aurora]

but it isnt looking fine in nikke db

[valid moon]

thats tuff

whats it look like

[humble aurora]

.

[valid moon]

oh yea ur cooked

[humble aurora]

why????

[valid moon]

did u edit on pma

[humble aurora]

no, in sta

i am just gonna redo everything with a different character this time, maybe its just that MIhara hates me

[valid moon]

is the viewer settings showing straight or pma alpha

[humble aurora]

idk, i did that yesterday

i am redoing it with Exia's model rn

[valid moon]

alr well

idk man you probably edited on the pma png by accident 💔

[humble aurora]

but i am saving both pngs in different location as to not mess it up T-T

and i am using paint.net as others have suggested

lemme try again

[gentle merlin]

i fyou started from scratch and it still happens no clue tbh

[humble aurora]

even with her there's this problem

[gentle merlin]

this looks like sta to me

or i am just

tripping

can you send me the png, atlas, skel

dm

or here

[humble aurora]

i just deleted the edited png

wait lemme redo the edit

[humble aurora]

ok lemme dm

I dm'd all the assets

[gentle merlin]

converted to pma and this is how it looks in live2dviewer

not as many artifacts

[humble aurora]

huh?

wait

[gentle merlin]

this is the png i used

[humble aurora]

is this setting's supposed to be true or false?

[humble aurora]

when its true it gives white artifacts, when false its the same this

[gentle merlin]

probably false then

true for editing ig

i dont use that so i dont know

[humble aurora]

what did u use for converting from PMA to STA?

wait no, STA to PMA

i have a feeling that the image isnt getting converted properly or smthin

[gentle merlin]

#1041208182539825182 message

[humble aurora]

ok gonna try this alpha converter

[valid moon]

its the same as the one on nikke db btw

[humble aurora]

yeah but my internet sucks, maybe there's some problem in uploading the image or something

[torpid bane]

there shouldn't

my website is all client side, the file convertion happen on the browser not in a server

[humble aurora]

hmm

what can cause such whitelines then :/

[torpid bane]

I'm no modder, can't help

[humble aurora]

uhhh

idk why

but using the other alpha converter

fixed the issue

[humble aurora]

maybe there's some bug?

[torpid bane]

the feature has been there for like 1.5 year and it worked perfectly for everyone so I doubt honestly

[humble aurora]

since it client side, maybe its an issue on my side

idk

but hey at least i got it working

[torpid bane]

try on a different browser

[humble aurora]

i was using fitefox if that matters

gonna try on chrome

[gentle merlin]

Honestly it might just be some silly mistake

I know I did a lot of that shit

[humble aurora]

Could be, I am known for silly mistakes

But I'll check it on chrome just in case

after lunch, I am dying of hunger

Lol

[vast osprey]

This is unexpected amount of details from devs

[humble aurora]

They drew the entire torso only to hide it under her clothes

[vast osprey]

@void pond maybe you can add this to doro tools? Works better in my case as well

[final leaf]

afaik, drawing the whole body makes it easier to imagine how the cloths and accessories would be placed. but ofc takes more time

[humble aurora]

yeah but you wont detail it that much

when i draw characters, i just draw a general shape for the body before putting on the clothes

but its probably something related to her skins and stuff

like for example in marvel rivals the models are overly details so that instead of reworking the entire model for a new skin release, they just have to make the clothes, hair, etc and replace it

[final leaf]

they don't make another model for a new skin?

wait...how did I use emoji from a different server?

I don't have nitro

hmm, they gave a free trial it seems

[final leaf]

anyway as I was saying, some skins had more "assets" like bigger butt or boobs compared to their base skin tho from what I had seen

this is just what I've heard from my friends who play that game

I personally don't play it, so can't confirm

[humble aurora]

lucky!

[humble aurora]

some models yeah

but many just uses same model with tweaks

[humble aurora]

i know exactly which skin your friend is refering to....

[gentle merlin]

the siren skin asset is enlarged compared to ingame version as well unless i am just dumb

[final leaf]

btw, did it work with a different browser? @humble aurora

[humble aurora]

i didnt check that, i had to visit a doctor

[void pond]

it's there already

I forgot I added the script only, I'll upload the .exe later

[humble aurora]

guys, so can I use clip studio paint (where the transparency doesnt work like paint .net) to draw and edit, and then open the edited textures in paint.net and then save it there?

[vast osprey]

Nope, once the file is broken its broken

What you can do is use KXDE's alpha converter, and then use whatever program you want

[humble aurora]

i did that

what i meant was

can i edit the texture (that i converted to STA) in the csp (which have transparency problems with the textures) and then save the file again using paint.net and then convert it back to PMA

and it works (just tested it)

[vast osprey]

As long as you convert it into STA you can just use clip studio. No need to carry to paint.net

[humble aurora]

csp was having some problems with dark circles and stuff

saving it in paint.net as well fixes that weirdly

[vast osprey]

Hmmm weird then 🤷‍♂️

[void pond]

with Photoshop the process is kinda similar:

1. make a copy of the original texture and convert it to STA
2. modify it with Photoshop->save it normally as png with transparency
3. convert the modified texture back to PMA
4. load the original texture on Paint.NET and import the modified texture over the original with "Layers>Import from file"
5. deactivate the original texture layer and leave only the modified texture layer active
6. save it with "Save As..." replacing the original texture, selecting the option "Flatten"

[humble aurora]

I didn't load the original texture but rather than the edited one and then saved it with flatten option turned on (it was on by default IIRC) other than that, everything's similar and it works!

[tender gate]

Did nikke broke the mods?, had to download something ingame and mods stopped working for me :/

[void pond]

the update that will break mods again should be in about 7 hours tho

🤔

when they release Arcana

[tender gate]

hmmm mods are not working for me now, maybe something went wrong with the nmm

[tall kindle]

Ah shit looks like mods are gonna go purple it just updated

[ionic frigate]

Seems the mods are broken again unless im braindead and did the reset process wrong this time

[vast osprey]

They will be broken until NMM is updated, just wait a bit for now

[late lagoon]

for some reason the mod doesn't work again

[fresh gust]

Well, that lines up with the messages right above yours

[tender gate]

pasive skill of reading not activated haha, I thought it was just a dokkan player thing

[fresh gust]

Before anyone asks: Danieru updated, meaning mods work again. You'll need to re-apply mods through NMM.

[tall kindle]

Question: will we need to update keys too?

[fresh gust]

@tall kindle I didn't need to at least for basic mod application, may be different if you're making your own mods through NAU and UABEA

[tall kindle]

Does that include repacks?

[tall kindle]

Nevermind I think I answered my own question cuz I repacked, reloaded, and it seems like every mod that wasn't a skin swap is working

[tender gate]

it autoupdates or you should redownload?

[fresh gust]

swaps should work if repacked, I think? maybe KXDE can answer that

[fresh gust]

it's server side, so no need to re-download as long as you have 0.3. 0 or 0.3.1

[void pond]

it's a bit more confusing if the swaps are string swaps

[valid moon]

i forgot do we need to repack string swaps

i only have one and its siren but i dont use my skin swap

[void pond]

for old mods yep, they require some manual steps because the repackers don't work with them

[tender gate]

thanks mate

[valid moon]

we dont need to repack shit thanks to nmm right 💔

[void pond]

after this last update yea, no need to repack

[tall kindle]

A Dorothy mod that was working before recent update came up looking like this, but only the standing one. Aiming was working fine. Tried repacking using repacker and it still came out like this. So then I tried doing it manually and it still ended up like this

[tender gate]

Mods are still broken for me idk If I'm doing something wrong -.-

[sweet crag]

I have have the same problem. I tried repacking and a mary mod and it ended up like this.

[tall kindle]

A while back I saw someone have a similar problem but I don't remember if they found a solution or not

[burnt solstice]

If nmm is installed incompletely, characters with two textures will not display properly. This happened with Cinderella and Laplace. This probably applies to Dorothy as well.

At that time the nakb folder had not been copied correctly, but copying it manually seemed to fix the problem.

[tall kindle]

I see, thanks. So how do I fix that nakb folder?

[burnt solstice]

Copy the contents of nmm to the game folder. This is supposed to be done automatically when you select the game folder in the nmm GUI. This often doesn't work for one reason or another.

[tall kindle]

Ok will try, thanks

[fresh gust]

I assume you've already gone through the troubleshooting steps listed here?
https://nikke-modding-wiki.vercel.app/

Also would be helpful to know what step it's breaking at (loading game, mods simply not displaying, mods displaying but showing as purple, etc.)

[sweet crag]

anyway to fix this?!?

[tender gate]

I think i'm doing everything fine, high on graphic options, nmm installed in same directory as game, run as administrator and select gamepath, I make sure the mod folders in "StandaloneWindows64" and NMM folder, idk whats happening I'm so sad haha

[fresh gust]

Changed addressables, NKAB etc. manually just in case as well?

[tender gate]

i'll check it out give me a sec

Some specific mods could break other mods?

maybe thats the reason

[fresh gust]

Repack, probably? How old is the mod? Looks like a Mary mod

[tender gate]

I'm doing the nkab thing

[sweet crag]

I fixed it..... I did repack it before but i guess somehow i messed the texture up at some point when trying to repack it. I redownloaded the original mod and used Na0h's repacker and it works and I feel so stupid

[fresh gust]

No worries, glad you got it fixed

[tender gate]

for me it still not working, even replacing nkab files, i'm trying to turn off and on mods to see if it's a mod broking everything.

[tender gate]

Well this is so weird, i'm now stuck at "Downloading configs... please wait..." whe applying mods.

[ruby obsidian]

I had the gacha Naga's icon here but now it changes all the time lmao can someone send me that file so I can replace it with the broken one? I'm unable to do it myself at the moment

[tall kindle]

My Nmm is in the same folder as my nikke game folder. Should I just move the nmm folder into the nikke folder itself?

[void pond]

I think sometimes the game loads the portraits wrong with NMM, it was related to my portrait swapper needing some improves

[tender gate]

nah, I even reinstalled and now I get stuck at "Downloading configs... please wait..." makes no sense.

[burnt solstice]

Yes. It seems like half the textures are correct and half are broken, so it's possible that this is the same phenomenon I know.

[merry peak]

Is there a way to not update? It seems to cause system error on the previous game version with local server

[fresh gust]

How are you playing Nikke on a local server?

[void pond]

you need to clean your folder \com_proximabeta\NIKKE\com.unity.addressables after the game is updated, deleting the old .db files and .db.nds files and leaving only the most recent ones
At the end you should have only 6 files in that folder: 3 .db + 3 .db.nds

[tall kindle]

I'll try it thanks

[merry peak]

this https://github.com/EpinelPS/EpinelPS/

[unique vale]

Private server

[merry peak]

I am still on version 132.10.5

Everything was working fine until yesterday when I applied Mods then a "system error" appeared when loading.

[unique vale]

isnt game on 133?

[merry peak]

Yes, but I prefer not to update the local server for now..

I hope NMM can have a version switching option, so that there is a repack that can always run without an Internet connection.

[gentle merlin]

umm does anyone know why mast mod doesnt show up in game

but it is applied in nmm

🤔

it defaults to well default

its only this particular chara

it is replaced in the %appdata% fodler(doesnt exist) and shows up fine in NMM preview

hmm the other mast is also broken

not standing, but aim and cover

nvm i just had another dupe

[tall kindle]

It didn't seem to work

[tender gate]

Ok looks like Mihara's bonding chain mod from @barren anvil was giving me the 43% issue and broking all the mods, the mod is [New!]c162_00_x
Just deactivate all three parts and apply, now all mods are working again ^^

[misty river]

Can anyone help me with these?

[tall kindle]

Nikke mods are so confusing sometimes smh. I downloaded the original mod and it works now, even though I'm pretty sure I had to repack it at some point in the past lol

[void pond]

it's the viewer I posted on github?

just in case I clarify this: most of na0h mods will not work on my viewer because He protect his mods with some encryption, but NMM viewer should work fine with his mods

[misty river]

Any mods don't work

[void pond]

this one right? https://github.com/kxdekxde/nikke-spine-viewer

I released a previous version before that was not as stable like the current one

[misty river]

from Doro Tools

[void pond]

this is the portable version that should work
https://www.mediafire.com/file/dkj0lvvnu3rn771/NIKKESpineViewer.7z/file

[tall kindle]

Is this like the atleri file finder?

[void pond]

no, my spine viewer is similar to NMM previewer
my site similar to a1teri file finder is this one: https://kxdekxde.github.io/nikke/characters.html

[tall kindle]

Ah. Do you need to upload a json file to this one too or can you just use it?

[void pond]

all the data is listed so no need to upload the json

👍

a1teri file finder updates faster tho, so you can use that site instead when I delay the update of my list

[tall kindle]

Alteri updates? I thought since you need to upload the json file to use it you pretty much had to update it yourself

[void pond]

I mean the site must be updated I guess, every time a new character is added the site already shows the character name and stuff right? 🤔

[tall kindle]

Hmmm now I'm curious to see if arcana pops up

[void pond]

the json doesn't include characters names so yep, I guess that part is updated somehow on the site

[minor niche]

To install the mods, do you need to download a program or do you have to do it manually?

I found the answer, it was fixed, sorry

[sweet crag]

Can anyone figure out why this mod is turning out like this no matter how i try to repack it?

[void pond]

what repacker are you using? my repacker had issues with some .atlas iirc, maybe Na0h repacker works

[keen plinth]

I tried both , and also swapped the atlas skel and texture to a red hood character swap.

Alt btw

[tall kindle]

What if you upload a mod to a character's skin and the character just disappears entirely? I'm trying to load a mod with privaty's second skin that I had working previously. Whenever I switch to that skin though, privaty just disappears entirely

[tall kindle]

Maybe I'm doin something wrong but kxd3's file finder seems to be more updated than the alteri site, at least for me. Kxd3 is updated up to arcana already, but when I go to alteri, Cindy's new skin isn't even on there

[void pond]

I guess you did something wrong, I repacked that mod right now with my repacker and it's working

this one #modded-assets message

[void pond]

that depends on the json you upload, this is the latest one with Arcana

Arcana was there, Idk about Cindy new skin

[tall kindle]

Thanks. Yea that's it I just had an older catalog file. Did you make this one or did you get it from somewhere else?

[void pond]

Lorax usually shares the new ones after an important big update like this one after end of half-anniversary for example
#1041207949508497548 message

next big update will be Stellar Blade collab I guess

[tall kindle]

Ah. Ok

[void pond]

or well they change stuff randomly even on small fixes so you can check Modded Assets threads for updates

[tall kindle]

I thought that thread was like locked off for some reason cuz I could never see it unless someone linked to it and I just realized I hadn't joined it lol

[void pond]

We are hidden at purpose ||jk||

[tall kindle]

[urban echo]

is there a guide for repacking old mods in bulk?

[tall kindle]

Someone had a repacker here that you could do multiple mods at once

I think this
#1041208182539825182 message

[urban echo]

Doesn’t work for anyone other than na0hs mods

[errant idol]

Does anyone know that file type "spotskillcutscene_assets" is working on nmm or not?

[stable pilot]

its working fine for me with other mod than na0h's mod tho

[void pond]

nope, for now you need to replace the __data files directly

[ruby obsidian]

If you don't mind can I have the mod? since you already repacked it and all...

[sweet crag]

Same idk wtf is going on

[void pond]

keep trying to use the repacker tho, because We can't share every single mod that needs repack here

👍

[ruby obsidian]

Oh no I know how to repack mods but as I stated earlier I'm kinda unable to do these myself at the moment, PC related stuff. I even play the game on my laptop lmao

Thank you for posting it

[sweet crag]

If i use that mod i get stuck at 43%. If i swap the textures to a character swap i get stuck at 43%. Its cursed

[void pond]

follow the guide here https://nikke-modding-wiki.vercel.app/

Troubleshooting number 4

[sweet crag]

Holy fuck it worked

[tall kindle]

Yaaaay apples

[urban echo]

Where is the repacker for multiple mods?

The na0h says it has replaced it successfully but the asset never changes in game

[humble aurora]

was there an nmm update for the new version? Or the old version still works?

[olive kelp]

I would like to know why the crown mod is not working properly.

[stable pilot]

i think you need to repack the mod

[ruby obsidian]

You need to repack it yeah. Which mod is this by the way maybe I already have it

[olive kelp]

Could you please share that mod?

[ruby obsidian]

If you tell me what mod is it I can check if I have it

Or just post it here, I'll repack it for you

[olive kelp]

thank you

[ruby obsidian]

You are very welcome, happy to help

[humble aurora]

guys are the mods not working?'

none of my mods are working it seems

[ruby obsidian]

My mods are all working fine right now, I don't know why they shouldn't

[humble aurora]

reapplied them through nmm as well btw

[humble aurora]

huh

lemme check again

maybe i forgot to enable them

nope they are all enabled

[ruby obsidian]

I'm no expert but maybe disable all - apply then enable all again

[humble aurora]

ok

was there an update to nmm perhaps?

[ruby obsidian]

You can delete addressables and start clean again as a last resort

[humble aurora]

nvm

the game just started

its working

[ruby obsidian]

lmao

[humble aurora]

just had to deactivate and activate again ig

[ruby obsidian]

glad to hear

[humble aurora]

thanks for help, would have never thought of doing smthin that simple lmao

[dreamy dagger]

Heyaaa :333 sorry how to I download Mihara bonding chain video and her skin etccc askldasd

[humble aurora]

download nmm, download the files, put the files in mod folders (which is in nmm folder which you will extract from the nmm zip file you downloaded) and then start nmm

and follow whatever it says

[dreamy dagger]

Sorry where do I download the files from? :33 Also thank you so much for the guidance aaa

[humble aurora]

what mod you trying to download?

[dreamy dagger]

Oh im tryna mod the game to do a replacer

[humble aurora]

you are trying to mod yourself or downloading the mod?

if you are trying to do yourself, i'll recommending using the wiki, if you are just downloading a mod, i would still recommend using the wiki

[dreamy dagger]

Tryna do it myself

[humble aurora]

use wiki

[dreamy dagger]

Thank you :333

[humble aurora]

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

i started modding this game last week myself as well

[dreamy dagger]

HECCYEA!!!

:33

ohh um

what is this siteee?

[humble aurora]

no.7

of the tools

but there was another site that i personally found much more useful

[dreamy dagger]

ohhh whats that site?

:333

[humble aurora]

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

this was faster imo

[dreamy dagger]

ooo thank you!!! :DDD

[humble aurora]

from that, copy those strings

and then search for it in that folder mentioned above

in the wiki

[dreamy dagger]

yessss!!!! >:333

got emm!!!

[humble aurora]

what drawing program u gonna use?

cause just a heads up, with clip studio paint, i faced some issues

[dreamy dagger]

Oh I have photoshop, I'm just planning on switching models though so I was thinking it would just be modifying the code by replacing the assets

[humble aurora]

idk abt that

[olive kelp]

@ruby obsidian Is it possible to get crown aim and cover mode too?

[ruby obsidian]

Here you go you rascal

[humble aurora]

any tips on how you are doing it?

na0h's repacker maybe?

[ruby obsidian]

Honestly I do it manually mostly, it's slower than using a repacker of course but when I have time I don't mind it. Plus in my opinion it's good to do this way for new modders, they can get familiar with files & process

I think there was a guide on wiki as well. And about the other question, I use Naoh's repacker too sometimes yeah but it doesn't work well all the time so, I don't know maybe you can use Doro Repacker instead. If I understand correctly it works better/more accurate(?)

[humble aurora]

alr

[ruby obsidian]

You can hit me up if you get stuck at some point. I ain't no artist though I can't draw shit but I can help with the other side of modding lmao

[humble aurora]

and i am opposite, i can draw shit but i cant mod shit

and my dream is to get into game programming....

[ruby obsidian]

lord knew I'd be too powerful if I could draw futas

[humble aurora]

if i wasnt uncomfortable with drawing dicks, i would have started taking futas commission

heard they earn a lot

futa artists

[ruby obsidian]

not gonna lie, it's not impossible. if you have the passion you gotta go for it. most people just think "I can't learn it anyway it's too late" even though it's not. I am an art history student but at the same time I'm also a webmaster, doing modding stuff for many games like fallout games, cyberpunk, titanfall etc, making maps for source games since 2012 etc

what I'm trying to say is, my major and my hobbies are so different, but yet, here I am

[humble aurora]

yeah and i do have a passion for games but its not the coding site yk, its for the concept art, but i have asian parents, telling them i wanna be an artist is basically a death sentence

but i still put my all in to learning how to code, cause what if i just make the next hollow knight or Animal well or Undertale, alone?

thats a big dream

prolly not gonna come true, but i'll be fine

[ruby obsidian]

you never know what the future holds man, I hope for the best for you

[humble aurora]

thanks mate

[ruby obsidian]

i'm not a quitter nor I like quitters, but it doesn't mean you should destroy other things -things you are already good at- while chasing another. if you are an artist, continue. but in your free time you can try learning new stuff. it'll be slow for sure, but day by day you'll learn something new and one day it'll be enough for you to start doing something with that knowledge

[humble aurora]

thats where i am stuck lol, i feel like in pursue of game programming, i am destryoing my drawing skills

havent touched my drawing tab for more than a month

[ruby obsidian]

most game devs struggle finding artists for their assets, and there's you, who can both draw and program at the same time. well, if you go for it of course

i don't understand why you should prioritize one over another

[humble aurora]

yeah but i have to manage time :/

and once i get focused over one thing, its hard to give attention to another

and i still get distracted somehow...

[ruby obsidian]

ah, now that's something I can't help you with. time management is crucial. not just for in this context, in your daily life as well

[humble aurora]

and i suck at that lol

but i am trying and thats wht matters

but life's been a bitch recently, stuff going on and managing time is hard

ngl talking to someone abt this once in a while helps relieving the weight off of my chest

thanks

[ruby obsidian]

it's nothing man. like I said, you can hit me up whenever, I'd be happy to help

[ruby obsidian]

Do we have a channel/forum where we can post repacked stuff or could it just stay here?

[humble aurora]

maybe in https://discord.com/channels/968096627002851379/1041202670620397589?

its supposed to be for mods and stuff, so if you post repacks with permission maybe it would be ok?

[ruby obsidian]

I don't have the required role and I'm not sure if repacked mods can be posted there

[humble aurora]

hmm

contacting a mod is probably the best way to go ig

[unique vale]

repacked mods do get posted in #modded-assets

[ruby obsidian]

Ah I see, I should ask for permission real quick

@valid moon can I post one of your crown mods? the one with skin swapped default and horny face and its aim & cover

[valid moon]

whats wrong with the aim and cover

[ruby obsidian]

nothing actually, I wasn't sure so I went for all 3 lmao

[valid moon]

alr whatever

post here and ill forward it to modded assets

[ruby obsidian]

Sure #1041208182539825182 message

[void pond]

Doro Repacker included in Doro Tools is my repacker, but that one needs additional stuff to install to be able to use it

I think I had a video guide for it but I deleted it

[viral surge]

I am not sure if this is the right place to post my question but i dont know if you can help me get the mods to work, i am new at this. I have Nikke modding manager 0.3.1 and i downloaded and applied the mods like the guide says. i even tried using the crown mods uploaded today and still it doesn't want to load them in game. What happens is when i select their character portrait it instead exits back to the character select screen. Am i messing a step?

[burnt solstice]

Are you distributing paid skins to be used for free?
Why are you so eager to shut down the NIKKE mod?

[valid moon]

🥱

still believe skin swaps arent the reason shift up trying to stop modding

[ruby obsidian]

Where did that come from all of a sudden

[valid moon]

1 or 2 years ago shift up made it so that replacing files stopped working

they’d reinstall a clean file

so we couldnt mod for a while

until danieru made nmm

some people blame skin swaps for this

[burnt solstice]

Previous changes to the specifications are irrelevant.

[ruby obsidian]

I mean, if we go with that mentality, making nude or other mods must be stopped too. Because like, most people probably prefer them over paid skins

[valid moon]

yeah

apparently seireiko got dmca

not sure if that true tho

[ruby obsidian]

In the end, you are modifying ShiftUp's asset. I don't get the reason why skin swap should be more bad bad than simply modding any default character model

I don't think they need a reason like that to shut down all this lmao

[void pond]

check troubleshooting part on https://nikke-modding-wiki.vercel.app
And make sure to have NMM and NIKKE in the same drive, if that doesn't work reinstall the game in your drive C and move NMM there as well

[valid moon]

ngl i feel like they easily could if they wanted to

but its nikke devs so

[burnt solstice]

As long as you guys are here nikke's mod will be over soon.

[valid moon]

ok bro

u sell ai edited mods on patreon

sybau

[ruby obsidian]

I'm pretty sure they have many sections on their ToS which can affect any modder and mod, paid skin or not. Even if you just change a single color on a totally default model, it's still against their ToS and they can do whatever they want

[viral surge]

i have done the things in the wiki's troubleshooting. I got the NMM from there and followed the guide. The NMM is unpacked in the same directory. When i apply the mods it says it is is finished applying mods and ready to start the game but when i do and select a modded character it backs out to the previous screen. Is modding currently broken except on private servers?

[ruby obsidian]

This, of course excluding fan artworks to be used outside of the game. Wallpapers, animation videos for content creation, memes etc.

[burnt solstice]

You don't seem to understand why companies do what they do.

[ruby obsidian]

lmao I get the feeling that you don't like each other much or is it just an AI thing

[void pond]

you need to go through the mods you have one by one then, you have some problematic mod maybe

[ruby obsidian]

Personally I'm modding games since 2010 and most of them are much bigger games than Nikke and unfortunately done my fair share of ToS violations. What I said is true, yes, even just a single color

But all modders should know what they're getting their hands into in the first place. If you're afraid of risk, you should simply stay away from it

I really like what modders do here, you are all awesome artists. But yeah from a corpo stand point, it is what it is

[burnt solstice]

The only reason companies take action is whether or not they make a profit.

If cracking down on mods will make a profit, then they will crack down on them.

Only Shift Up knows what the criteria will be. It may be banned one day.

Apart from that, if measures are taken against swapmod, profits will fall, so there is no choice but to take measures.
I am concerned that all mods will be banned because of swapmod.

[valid moon]

editing their own assets goes against their tos anyways

it doesnt matter if its cause of skin swaps or not

we’re all contributing

[burnt solstice]

Companies don't take action when they see someone breaking the rules, they take action when they see profits coming out of it.

[valid moon]

in that case why dont they leave hackers alone

they dont lose money out of not doing anything about it

[ruby obsidian]

You making a mod for a character might affect some player's thoughts, maybe he was going to buy a skin in game but he saw your mod and decided to use it instead of buying a skin, because your mod looks cooler. This argument is so dumb but I'm sure you get the point

[viral surge]

the instructions seem simple so im sorry if i sound like im asking the obvious. Here are some photos of what happens. I can get the character screen to stay up if I select the prevoius character and drag over to crown, but it is blank. This happens with any of the mods I try, so I wondered if mods are currently broken (it seems others are using them fine) or i am missing a step.

[ruby obsidian]

You just made ShiftUp lose potential profit Yuki!

[burnt solstice]

That idea might be right, or it might not — only Shift Up knows for sure.
However, what's important is that the swap mod definitely reduces Shift Up's profits.

[valid moon]

most of shift up revenue comes from people buying gems

not skins

[ruby obsidian]

To be honest, I'm not even sure if NIKKE modding scene is big enough for that. Surely they lose some amount, but hell no they lose much

[valid moon]

% of revenue from skins doesnt even come close to how much they make by selling gems

on top of that modding community is small as fuck

[burnt solstice]

So I'm not saying anything about individuals swapping.

The issue is distributing tools and assets.

This increases the amount of damage and creates an incentive for shift ups.

[valid moon]

so now we moving off of skin swaps

blame seireiko danieru and bingle then

danieru and bingle made the modding tools

ive never seen you make a single good argument for all the dumb shit you pull up 💔

[ruby obsidian]

the way you talk back was so tuff twin 💔

[burnt solstice]

I don't understand why someone is trying to shut down the NIKKE mod after it finally came back.

[valid moon]

“finally” ts was 2 years ago bro

we’re not even trying to shut down modding

ur argument is a fallacy

literally just making mods n chilling

meanwhile you always try to manage the community by imposing dumbass rules

[burnt solstice]

As long as there are people who believe their own opinion is correct, it won't even become a debate.

[rocky jay]

getting nsfw mods hurts profits too
why would i buy skin which show 10% more bare skin when i alreadt have the nikke naked

[valid moon]

like dont share skin swaps or dont share repacked mods

[ruby obsidian]

to be honest I really get Yuki's point. they basically say you do swaps all you want but don't post it. but still if that alone makes shitup lose money, modding in general would also do. because like, tools are there twin I keep doing it

[valid moon]

deadass

[rocky jay]

yuki will get hit first before any skin swapper does

[ruby obsidian]

above all these, I think selling mods is WAY worse than skin swapping because like you are literally modifying their asset and make personal profit out of it. I know you all need to make money for your efforts and I personally support that, but again, from a corpo stand point it's bad

so in short, let's just hope shitup keep things like this

[rocky jay]

they hit miagi, sei with takedown

[valid moon]

nah i think miagi left on his own

[rocky jay]

ye

[valid moon]

but yeah seireiko

instead of going for bingle

who made nau

i remember they either paid or dmca falzar to keep his nikketools off of github

[dreamy dagger]

Well learning to mod this is definitely fun :333

[valid moon]

besides shift up is busy dealing with other criticism than trying to stop modding

[rocky jay]

His mega link taken down

[valid moon]

losing players from their shit game is worse than losing money from skin swaps

[valid moon]

what about the other link

i forgot the name lwk

you have it on your drive D.... so maybe to move it to your drive C and reinstalling NIKKE in C as well will fix the issue

you don't need to reinstall the 16GB of data, there are some steps with symlink to be able to link the data you already downloaded with a fresh installation... but there are not guides about it yet
I guess it's time to make that guide

[viral surge]

yes im going to try that thanks. I also realized my drive D was exFAT not NTFS, so likely the issue

[dreamy dagger]

whats a good loaction to put the VPN at? :33

[dreamy dagger]

Okay I've tried:

1. Checked everything is in the same drive
2. Deleted the addressables as there were too many now there is the correct amount of 6
3. Repairing and relaunching the game
4. Resetting the game path
5. Buying a VPN and setting to multiple different locations

But it's still downloading configs for hours please help

[void pond]

NMM 0.31 right?

[dreamy dagger]

YISSSSS

[void pond]

why it's in drive O ?

there is not too much to do without Spine Pro,
so you can get seireiko/miagi/na0h free mods, they modded most of the nikkes already

[deft pilot]

Thanks gjopin for this mod

lokin god

btw can i swap this custom for Red Hood, only change the skirt without messing the motion ?

[gentle merlin]

Nah probably not

Unless you have spine even then I don't know

[deft pilot]

then how i can use this shiet

[fervent spoke]

Put texture, .skel, .atlas in a same folder

Then import skel into the tool

[deft pilot]

Okea

lemme try

[valid moon]

u can i think

physics swap exists

idk if nmm supports it rn

is there a way to mod in different voice lines? Havent found anything related to it in #modded-assets

[vast osprey]

You can with doro tools, switch character then use physics fixer

[vast osprey]

Voice mods are not supported as far as I know

[humble aurora]

thats sad :( I wanted to replace cinerella's burst voice with vergil's theme cause it looks way too much like judgement cut end

[deft pilot]

Not like i want swap da whole character. Just a part of them. Btw thank u

You are trying to add her skirt to Red Hood?

[vast osprey]

@void pond Mihara BC 01 to 01 doesn't work, maybe you need to add it to the 000_BG_Skins_Swap.txt list?

[fresh gust]

BC 01 to 00?

[vast osprey]

01 to 01

[tall kindle]

Yeah though you might need to dig in the modded assets channel for a bit.

And you probably will need to repack it

[deft pilot]

like i neeed to rig it again ?

Its basically recreating at this point

I use it as a base for modding

[void pond]

I'm missing some characters there, lazy to check 150+ characters one by one to see if they got bg or acc

I think Mermaid skin has got bg too right? lemme see

[vast osprey]

Nope

[void pond]

There are some characters with both bg and acc, I have no idea what to do with them lol
2B paid skin, and a NPC girl iirc

[vast osprey]

Acc?

[void pond]

yeah, both of them

iirc my swapper breaks the .skel for these cases

If there aren't many examples maybe you shouldn't bother

Its really weird, when you use cha swapper to get files its basically original files right?

Even when I just take that original file and try to use with just renaming, its same result...

[void pond]

that only happens with Mihara?

Hey, just wondering, has anyone here tried modding NIKKE like we used to do with Destiny Child using DC Mod Manager? Is there an updated tool or method people use nowadays for customizing character skins, or is that totally off limits here?

[void pond]

the mod manager for NIKKE + usage here https://nikke-modding-wiki.vercel.app/

to swap some stuff of the game you can use doro tools #1041207949508497548 message

[vast osprey]

This is the first time I see sth like that I think, is it same for you?

[torpid fulcrum]

want to ask a question, I have moved com_proximabeta_NIKKE to another drive (not C), will it affect the use of NMM? Because NMM has not been effective.

[vast osprey]

Did you select game path again?

[torpid fulcrum]

yes

oh stuck at 43% now

Oh, it worked

But I have three other game folders (I have four Nikke.exe in total), so should I reselect the game path and replace them all with the files in the "nkab" folder?

[vast osprey]

I have no idea but

Sheeesh

[torpid fulcrum]

It works. My second Nikke client NIKKE2\NIKKE\game\nikke.exe also makes the mod work by

1. Select gamepath
2. Replace the file in the "nkab" folder

[vast osprey]

Isn't it boring playing the same idle game on 4 accounts O_O

I had one before with even better roster but it was so freaking boring and grindy

[torpid fulcrum]

At first, I wanted to use one account for pve and one account for pvp.
But now the equipment additional attributes of the pve character of the account that originally wanted to pvp are much better than the other one

So I just kept playing like this. The other two clients are just for testing some PVP content

[vast osprey]

Fair lol, my second account got RRH and SBS in 20 pulls. On my main I still don't have RRH...

Still, I ignored it in the end, one is enough for me. Its fair to use them as pvp tester tho

[void pond]

the scripts compare their string data, so if both got the same value maybe that's why the script fails

[vast osprey]

Works on other characters tho 🤷‍♂️

Whatever I guess

[viral surge]

I watched the video and have a few questions. where do i find magispine, it looks alot like the WWE viewer. Where is the dummy skeleton from, extracted assets? and would krita work instead of photoshop. also is retexturing the only thing i can do without spine pro.

i am new at this but really want to learn how to make my own mods and not need to rely on others to release a mod.

[void pond]

WWE viewer is the improved version so you can use that viewer instead. You need to export the .atlas/.skel/.png files from the Unity bundles to mod them and then import them back to the bundle, AssetStudio is the way to export the assets and UABEA the way to import them back to the file
And yea, you can use Krita but first you need to convert the texture to Straight Alpha with my alpha converter included in doro tools or nikke-db alpha converter online

And after to edit the texture and save you need to convert it back to PMA (premultiplied alpha)

This is how I do it with Photoshop #1041208182539825182 message

Hello guys, I'm looking for Centi, Noise and Drake swaps, are there any of them uploaded? thanks ❤️

[deft pilot]

i tried the Repack on wiki

and it work

u should try it

[tender gate]

I can't do the repaks, i don't have the free space needed soemthing like 12gb

[deft pilot]

ugh i dun't think it will take a GB

[tender gate]

someone already helped me before with some repacks

[tender gate]

to do the swaps yes, you need like 12 -13 gb

[deft pilot]

dat weird

i tried update CN skin swap and it won't take dat much

maybe me dumm

[void pond]

Na0h repacker doesn't need the 12GB of dependencies

[deft pilot]

i want change the CN lang to EN lang on CN Launcher. Any idea where i can find them ?

[toxic crypt]

I doubt you can do that

[void pond]

☝️

[deft pilot]

[fervent spoke]

No

Locale file only have CN language

[tender gate]

hmm so you can do swaps easily? without a big installation?

I don't have much space in my ssd rn

[deft pilot]

can we just decrypt, translate and put in run back

[hollow mural]

Hello everyone
I have installed the manager in the same directory as the nikke folder
The directory is in O: (NTFS) and moving nikke to C is absolutely not an option for me

When I open Nikke from the main launcher it opens normally without any sign of being modded so the mods do not appear

A few things to add are
I close the manager before opening the game
Within the manager I cannot preview mods
All graphics settings are set to high

[fervent spoke]

No, back then lss file don't need to decrypt, someone used to edit the lss file to the string we want, after they open the game, they are forced to redownload the same lss edited

[fresh gust]

I assume when you applied the mods, Nikke was closed in the system tray as well?

And also that you've refreshed addressables and copied over NKAB from NMM? (Better explanation in this channel if you search for those terms)

[void pond]

my bad, yea you need the 12GB for the swapper not for the repacker

[deft pilot]

Jezz. Hash checkers for suree

[tender gate]

ikr

Ok the update broke my mods? anyone having issues?

[void pond]

what update? they updated again today?

[fresh gust]

I didn't think there was an update

My mods were working fine yesterday, though I haven't played the game yet today

Just confirmed mods are still working

[tender gate]

yeh, i had to download a small file, but now after three boots everything is fine.

had to re download configs in nmm

[hollow mural]

Yes it was

[hollow mural]

Thank you I will look into it

[half wigeon]

how to install these skin mods?

[void pond]

[languid flame]

what about mobile version?
Is there anyway to mod the game in mobile?

[glossy heath]

no

[fervent spoke]

No, cause it require to root android or jailbreak ios which also cause autoban trigger

is there a new NMM version or no?

[void pond]

nope, 0.31 is the latest one and still working

[warm thicket]

where do i get it

cuz i still have 0.21 lmao

well used to

cuz i accidentally deleted it

now idfk where to get it

[vivid mulch]

[desert fable]

hi I'm stupid and I can't get nmm to work with the papillon rouge swap, I'm using the 0.3.1 version, folder directory seems correct and it says it applied the mods
but it no work

[void pond]

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

[desert fable]

I did read and follow the steps but one thing I might have missed was the high graphics setting - I'm on custom but the only thing I touched was 8x AA rather than 4x on the default high setting

Does that affect the mod?

[final leaf]

The point of that line is so that the game decides which asset to use, the game has 2 types of assets, high quality and low quality. I'm not 100% sure which settings tells the game to use the high quality asset, but it's most likely the last one, "model quality", but I can't say that "texture quality" and "character resolution" doesn't effect it since I never bothered changing those. But either way, AA shouldn't effect it. The custom settings itself is not an issue either because a lot of people turn off physics effects, which does change the high setting to custom, but they can still use mods.

[desert fable]

aight OK I'll mess with the settings again

[uncut fox]

It is not model quality

It's just texture quality

only texture quality matters

rest can be anything @desert fable

model quality is the 3d stuff (i.e. Chatterbox boss, etc)

[hollow mural]

trying to download the swap tools regardless of how many times i try i keep receiving this error

[desert fable]

I'm on these settings and I still can't get the swap to work

I really must be missing something

[uncut fox]

Is that the only mod you are using?

@desert fable

[desert fable]

yes, it did create the mods folder in the NIKKE -> game -> nikke_Data -> StreamingAssets -> aa -> StandaloneWindows64

and the 3 files (aim/cover/standing) are there

unless the files also need to be renamed or something

[uncut fox]

Do you have UnityCrashHandler in your game folder

Delete it and select game path again

[uncut fox]

C:\Users%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\com_proximabeta\NIKKE\com.unity.addressables
Go here, delete all the files having .nds extension and apply again

[uncut fox]

You don't have to do anything

[uncut fox]

Only these 3 files should be remaining in that folder

The latest ones sorting by date
Then click apply

[regal moth]

Regarding the skill cuts hiccup just uploaded, how are we supposed to locate the folders we're supposed to put them into?

[final leaf]

the same way the modder found them. from a1teri's Nikke file finder site.

[uncut fox]

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

[final leaf]

or that

[regal moth]

Thank you both I was only able to find the character files at first I never realised those were put up aswell

[desert fable]

tried it and nope rouge is still there
last possible thing is that I installed nikke in somewhere else other than C: but I made sure to also put NMM in the same drive and got it to point at the exe

[void pond]

open CMD and type pip install tqdm
Then hit enter, the "install requirements" should install it automatically but it's not working for some ppl

Portrait mod? #modded-assets message

[austere barn]

Hi, I'm trying to fix the 43% loading screen thing however, I'm stuck at the step where I have to delete the crash handler

It just refuses to be deleted because apparently the file is open?

I tried to set the game path again to nikke.exe but it didnt work

[final leaf]

open task manager and end process all the unitycrashhandler64 and tbs_browser

and then try deleting it

[austere barn]

Ty, no idea why 3 unity crash handlers were open at once in the background

#modded-assets message
Also for this mod, do you just rename both files to "__data"?

and then everything is good? One of the files is forced to be renamed to "__data (2)"

[final leaf]

both of them has their own folder to be put in. saying incase you put them both in the same folder. also they are supposed to replace the original __data that folder had. well you can keep a backup of the original if you want

[austere barn]

wait what, so which folder should I place the battle and lobby in? I placed both of them in the mods folder of NMM since that's what I read

[final leaf]

if you are using NMM, then it's fine

though, I dunno if you can place multiple __data file in NMM

ah wait

if you are using NMM, then it's not supposed to be named as __data to begin with

__data is for you to put the file in it's folder manually

for NMM, it's supposed to follow a naming convention

[austere barn]

So when I download the Battle and Lobby data, I just dont rename them and paste it in the mods folder?

or do I rename it to something specific?

[final leaf]

last I heard the new NMM doesn't support Lobby and burst, so you have to manually put them into their folder. rename them as __data and replace the original

buuuuut, if I'm wrong and NMM does support those, then for burst

and for Lobby animation

[final leaf]

to find where to put those files, use a1teri's site or this

[austere barn]

tysm

uhh, sorry still kinda new to modding, how do I use the IDs to find the folder?

[final leaf]

which site are you using? a1teri's or kxde's?

[austere barn]

I opened kxde's

[final leaf]

well, just ctrl + F in that page and then type the name of the character whose burst/lobby animation mod you are using

[austere barn]

yeah found it

what do I do with the parent folder and ID thing (the random letters)

[final leaf]

by ID, are you talking about the 4 letter one? those are not random. those are a character's ID. each characters have a specific ID.
anyway, in the Parent folder column, you got the name of the folder. go to that folder, open it

[austere barn]

I tried pasting both parent folders in the search bar of file explorer (This is for Scarlet BS), but there's nothing

[final leaf]

you should be able to find the folder in %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Unity\com_proximabeta_NIKKE\

[void pond]

go to your com_proximabeta_NIKKE folder and look for the foldernames there, then replace their "__data" files with the files you downloaded

[final leaf]

are lobby, burst files outside of aeb folder?

[void pond]

yup

[final leaf]

huh, I see

[austere barn]

wait i was looking inside the aeb folder

[void pond]

look on that directory where aeb folder is located then

parent foldernames are always the same, but the subfolders inside change names when game updates

[austere barn]

okay I found the parent folder skin1 but not the default

but whats the __data for inside the folder? The skill or the lobby?

[void pond]

what character?

[austere barn]

Scarlet Black Shadow

[void pond]

on the website you can see burst and lobby lists
lobby is for lobby folders
burst is for battle folders
https://kxdekxde.github.io/nikke-parentfolders/

[austere barn]

oh wait right Im stupid 💀

Thank you though

[void pond]

the file for lobby is what you see on your homescreen, the file for burst is what you see when you're in battle

[austere barn]

I think I just got the 43% thing again

is this normal?? Cus I just fixed it like an hour ago

[final leaf]

on the topic of lobby, maybe we should use a different name for it, people often confuses between lobby animation and the character that is shown on lobby. maybe something like lobby scene or something

[final leaf]

there is a troubleshooting section in the 1st page of the wiki for 43% issue, try following that

[austere barn]

Do I have to go through the whole replacing data thing again after all steps?

[final leaf]

possibly. since you are gonna repair the game

[austere barn]

Im not sure what Im doing wrong but the skill animation didnt change

I replaced the data file 3 times yet it didnt change

after fixing the 43 thing

[austere dagger]

Hello guys, I wanna repack my old mods, but these files seem like upload half years ago, are these tools still work?

[tulip lagoon]

get this shit

https://github.com/kxdekxde/doro-tools

[austere dagger]

Thanks bro

[austere dagger]

I tried like 50 time, but it just cannot reach mega severs 🥲

[tulip lagoon]

one of the files has the link

open in notepad

find it and copy paste into browser

[austere dagger]

Oh I found it, thanks

[austere barn]

Are there any free Scarlet BS Mods? (Like the standing, aim and cover)

[gloomy creek]

hi guys, new here and new to modding, when doing asset preview on NMM and it never loads does that means the mod never had a preview included in the first place? or am i doing something wrong? (i have to blur the mod name cuz the author did not gave permissions to share any info) the mod loads perfectlly in game, its just the asset preview wasnt working in NMM

[tulip lagoon]

ignore preview

shit doesn't matter

[void pond]

well their real name is live wallpaper

[void pond]

the repacker doesn't work with your mods for some reason btw

I tried with your Tove mod but She is still broken

[void pond]

you can try my nikke spine viewer.... altought some mods will not load because they are protected against ppl like resellers, na0h mods and some seireiko new mods
👍

[austere dagger]

thats sad, I seem to had deleted all the backup files..

[void pond]

D Killer Wife works at least

[austere dagger]

to be honest tove is my favorite one

I'll try to fix it with spine maybe

[gloomy creek]

@void pond Hi, sorry for the tag, i was attempting your spine viewer, download the script from git, install the requirement etc... when i click on previewing one of the mods this pops up, did i perhaps did something wrong or didnt install the correct stuff?

[void pond]

to use the scripts you need to install a lot of stuff so better to try with the portable version instead
https://www.mediafire.com/file/dkj0lvvnu3rn771/NIKKESpineViewer.7z/file

also I forgot mediafire direct links expire.... I need to include mediafire bulk downloader I guess

[gloomy creek]

i feel like im a stupid at this point... downloaded the portable version, clicked the choose file on the top left corner, but the application shows no file can be chosen for custom file, i change the filter to all files and click on one of the mods but nothing came up in the viewer ._.

[void pond]

when you run the exe for first time you need to select your mods folder so yea, you will not see your mods list until to do that first

not that exe, the main exe

[gloomy creek]

OOOH ok i found the pop up telling me to select folder for mods now, somehow it only pop up if i minimize the main windows...and the app works now anyway i feel more like a dumbass now XDD thanks for the help!

[void pond]

sometimes the pop up goes on background for some reason

[austere dagger]

I just remade everything, but it just cant open up the charater page in game. Is the repacking step went wrong or something else?

[austere dagger]

Is it the same situation?

[void pond]

for me I was not able to even load the character with the spine viewers I know

all of them give error on the .atlas for some reason

🤔

@rocky shell do you know what could be the cause?

[vast osprey]

Can you try to use original tove skel

[void pond]

yea maybe using the most recent assets for Tove can fix the issues

[austere dagger]

Yea, I am using it

[void pond]

I can't help on Spine things sadly
na0h usually helps if He is available

[austere dagger]

I have no clue🥲

[void pond]

are you using the repackers or doing the repack with UABEA?

[austere dagger]

yea

Im using UABEA

[void pond]

try to load your mod on this viewer https://nikke-db.pages.dev/visualiser

if it works on that web it should work in-game

[vast osprey]

The same thing happened to me recently as well, but I don't know whats the issue.

I tried to mod Mihara's paid skin but didn't work, but then I switch it with her main skin and it worked

[austere dagger]

it work

[austere dagger]

thats soo weird

[void pond]

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

I can test your assets if you want, for the last attempt

[austere dagger]

here u go

[vast osprey]

Just to see if it would work, can you try to replace it with her baseball skin?

[austere dagger]

Maybe? I haven't been making mods for a whole year now. I'm not sure if I can do it..

[void pond]

now it loads on my spine viewer, lemme check in game

gimme 10 min lol, NIKKE global takes 10min to launch for first time on HDD

altought I launched it already today so it should be a bit faster

[austere dagger]

k bro, no rush

[austere dagger]

Wait, do u mean swap the skin or made a nude version baseball skin?

[vast osprey]

Swap it

[austere dagger]

Oh, no problem, if it work🥲

if KXDE can revive it

[vast osprey]

Honestly I am just curious if its the same issue as mine

If your skin works when you replace it with 01 skin instead of 00, then its the same issue

[austere dagger]

Yea, I have never encountered such a problem before.

[void pond]

it's working now 👍

[austere dagger]

AYYY

Thanks bro

[void pond]

thanks to you for reviving that great mod

[austere dagger]

It seems that there is a problem with my repacking

[void pond]

I used my repacker with Tove original bundle, replacing the extracted assets with your mod assets and then repack it back to Tove original bundle

if my repacker can do it then manual repack should work too

[austere dagger]

Idk, I also followed this method

maybe my UABEA is outdate?

[void pond]

did u rename the repacked file to NMM format?

c192_00_standing_catalyzer_Tove

[austere dagger]

Yeah i tried

[void pond]

The trick to use my repacker for modding is to use the scripts manually one by one:

1. decrypt Tove original bundle and copy it to both folders "Modded Bundles" and "Original Bundles"
2. run script 2 and script 3
3. go to "Extracted Assets" and replace the .atlas/.skel/.png with your modded version
4. run script 4 (bingle kxde repacker......)
5. go to "Repacked" and rename your mod to NMM format cXXX_XX_standing_author_character

the scripts do what We did with UABEA in the old days

[austere dagger]

Just found a lot my old backup files, I'll try it 🥲

[void pond]

The portrait repacker doesn't work so I'll delete it from my repacker later

[void pond]

https://tenor.com/view/chef-satisfied-cooking-proud-tbjzl-gif-13857591

good luck, nice to see you coming back to modding bro

[austere dagger]

thanks a lot bro

I may still on this channel ask some stupid questions tomorrow

nightnight

[void pond]

I'll help if I'm around, np

👍

@austere dagger oh btw do you want the protocol role to post your mods on #modded-assets ?

@spare stratus could you give the protocol role to @austere dagger ?

[toxic crypt]

just use Mega...

[void pond]

doro tools use mega, I wanted to use something else for that one

welp, I updated it adding mediafire bulk downloader script from NicKoehler

Well, there is an app called shizuku
This app can give us an access to data and obb of the android folder and you can edit or delete files freely.

[toxic crypt]

Me who just uses ZArchiver...

[austere dagger]

Sure I will, just Wait for me to repack all my mods, I will post them together.

[austere dagger]

Ayyy I have learned it

[paper raft]

Is there a website for all the mods and how do I install mods?

[toxic crypt]

[stable pilot]

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

[stable pilot]

for mods you can dive #modded-assets and look for free mods well theres some free mods on pinned

[uncut fox]

There are very few free mods

[uncut fox]

No, modding culture in Nikke is quite different
Most mods are paywalled

[austere barn]

Do you know where I can find them or do you know someone who has them?

[uncut fox]

I meant there are very few free mods in the first place
There aren't any for SBS iirc

[austere barn]

Oh, okay mb

[void pond]

https://tenor.com/view/noice-nice-click-gif-8843762

[final leaf]

any mods that are free, you will find them in #modded-assets channel. some post the mod file in that channel directly, others post in their mega which is pinned in that channel

[austere dagger]

I tried bro, and it worked

I guess its not the same issue

[vast osprey]

No no, it is. Thats what I meant.

When I tried to mod Mihara skin on her slot (01), it didn't work

When I tried to swap instead to 00, it for some reason worked.

Weird

[austere dagger]

Have u change the atlas content?

[vast osprey]

Yep

[austere dagger]

actually

I just encountered this problem as well

My solution is use the original assets and remake it in spine 😐

The dumbest way

[vast osprey]

I just gave up lol
