---

A new version V2 is available.

 

Old "About":

This is my attempt at making a nude patch for Wolcen, it is not perfect, but its a start.

 

To use, simply place the folder "Objects" in your "...\common\Wolcen\Game" folder.

i didn't expect to see content wor Wolcen here. Txs for posting

[Voltanis]

Is this the original nude texture? I remember the game actually having nude textures but it was only a bug that allowed you to see them. 

[murfk]

I see seams around the shoulders; the color doesn't quite match up. Still, very cool, thanks a million!

[madmanator]

Hello,

 

These are not the nude ones from the alpha/beta version, I dont have them, so I just messed around in Photoshop to make these.

The seams are due to the normal maps not being real ones (the ddna files), as I am not an expert in making those unfortunately.

Maybe someone will make better textures, as this is the best I could do.

I was able to get the wolcen files extracted, but how do you convert the dds to pngs, and back? I'm going to take a crack at some of the other objects.

You can edit DDS files directly with this. No conversion needed.

[anon810]

I tried that, but when I go into game/objects/characters/players/male/textures/ i see a bunch of .ddna and .dds.1 files, i try to open anything with .dds and it barfs with a can't open because of disk error message.

You should be able to manipulate or convert the images with https://www.getpaint.net/index.html

 

Or you can use Gimp with the proper plugins: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=816839147

Hello, I was busy so I didn't log in for a few days.

 

It requires a couple of tools to get the textures into a readable state by image editing tools/plugins like the ones listed above, great suggestions by the way.

 

First, the dds files are split, as you may have noticed, into multiple parts, so they must be recombined.

There is a tool for that called DDSUnsplit, if you google it you will find it, if not I can attach it here.

Once you have the tool, you need to rename the very first part of the dds file from .dds to .dds.0

That way you should have a full serie of files, .dds.0, .dds.1, .dds.2, etc.

 

Next, you need to hex edit that .dds.0 file to change a couple of characters, there are a few open source tools for that.

Once you open the file in the hex editor of your choice, look in the 6th line (050) for a part that reads DX10 (as text), now change that to DXT1, make sure you replace, and not insert extra characters. Save the file. (Technical reason : I do that because the DDSUnsplit tool is outdated and does not recognize that DX10 format, however it recognizes DXT1 and the split method is the same, so it gets tricked and recombines the file anyway).

 

And finally, you are ready to run the tool, either as a command line, or simply drag and drop the .dds.0 file on the DDSUnsplit.exe (make sure all the parts are in the same folder), and it will create a fully recombined dds file that you can open in photoshop/gimp/etc.

 

Some info about the types of files, the ddnas tend to not recombine correctly, this is due to them being normal/bump maps, and not using the rgb channels like a regular dds. And on top of that, they are split differently. They drove me nuts, and I simply gave up on recombining them, and made fake ones for the mod.

All the other types of textures should recombine after doing the few steps above.

 

I tried to make it as clear and simple as I can, but if you have more questions, let me know.

[axellslade]

Any way to get rid of the seams between the body and the legs? The "nude bug" had no seams apparently:

thanks for that!

i fiddled around with the ddna files for a while. to make those you need the cryengine recource compiler(rc). they have a handy photoshop plugin for that.

with that you can just grad a diffuse map, resize that to 2k x 2k and turn it into a normal map. save that as CryTiF and the "rc" will do the rest for you.

since i'm not patient enough to make a good normal map i just made one that has no features at all. but hey it got rid of most seams so fine by me.

just rename it to the corresponding file and replace, should work for all ddna files you modded.

Hey

 

Great Work

 

Any chance you post the origonal files in an editable format?

 

I would like to make a version that keeps the thong while is still topless

[madmanator]

Hello, sure, you'll find the original textures in the attached file below in DDS format except the normal maps, for those you can use the one masterofcreep attached above.

Wow Thanks a lot

[Nagadta]

Hello, if I want this texture to replace armor textures, what are the file names I have to give to this texture? I guess I should open Objects_Armors ?

[madmanator]

Hello, I'm not sure I understand what you are asking, but if you want the character to wear armor and still appear naked, you can simply use the cosmetics option (it's in the game) combined with this mod, no need to change anything else.

 

On a side note, I finally managed to get those ddna textures converted, and now I understand everything, Everything!!1

Ok not really, but it makes a lot more sens, they actually combine both a normal map And a gloss map, that's what drove me nuts when trying to figure them out.

 

So now I will try to get rid of those seams, if I can manage to use the tool masterofcreep talked about and make proper normal maps. Fingers crossed.

 

Edit:

Alright I did some testing and the tool works (thanks for the info masterofcreep!), here are the results so far.

My first attempt at making new normals got rid of the seems, but I realized that a lot of the details are missing, so I decided to modify the original ones and that brought back all the details, but also some of the seams ... they are only noticeable on the shoulders even thou I did not touch that part, but still.

 

Anyway some screenshots showing what I'm talking about, to the left are new normals, to the right are modified original normals.

 

 

The difference in details is not very clear in the menus, but once in game you can see it better, here is what it looks like.

 

 

So like I said the seams are not as bad as before, but I think I'll try some more to remove them.

[axellslade]

those abs

[madmanator]

Hello, a new version V2 is up, with much better normals and no more seams finaly.

 

[murfk]

Hot dog! Thank you.

[Nemesis03]

Now we just need a more distinctive buttcrack, vagina (even a little stripe will do) and less cartoonish nipples (not sharp, but little blurry on edges... also a little more distinctive normal map) and nude mod will be perfect. I'm joking. It's better than nothing anyway and it's actually well done.

[Asator665]

hmm somehow it doesn't seem to work.

[Asator665]

ah i see. it only doesn't work and bug like this in online mode. in offline mode it works fine.

 

[highschoollover]

Just thanks ?

[Nemesis03]

Not working after last update.
