Hi all, I was wondering if anyone's been able to apply these mods to the switch version with atmosphere? 

Taking a note from how the english patch worked for the first two cold steel games, i created the directories on my sdcard:

atmosphere\contents\01005420101DA000\romfs\data\asset\D3D11_us

and put the character pkg files there.

 

However, it's not working, and i am not sure what to do to make it work, since nobody has really mentioned getting it working on the switch in the thread.  Any tips would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

To my knowledge it’s not possible. It’s very unlikely that the switch version uses D3D11.

Thanks for the reply. I just want to clarify that I can't get your skirt removal mod to work in the game but it works in the inventory/costume screen, the bath towel mod works in the game but does not work in the inventory/costume screen. I think I tried everything except for reinstall the game.

 

Does anyone know how to fix this? Exact same thing is happening to me and I found that the unskirt mod seems to be removing the wrong things such as Altina's tights and Aurelia's tights.

 

Edit: I found that loading the debug save before the save I'm actually playing on whenever I launch the game seems to fix it oddly

If I were troubleshooting this, I would check if the hashes listed in the .ini files match the ones in the game.

• Press F12 to enter hunting mode
• Press 8 on the number pad to cycle through index buffers (you don’t need to know what that means)
• When the object you want gone or modified disappears, hit 9 (number pad) to copy the hash (shown in the top left of the screen)
• Find the relevant folder for that mod for that character/costume inside your {game}/bin/x64/Mods folder
• Open the .ini files and see if the hash is listed in any of them

Credit

All nude models are modified versions of models from @lakovic. My modifications are minimal compared to their great work creating the original models. Many of my non-nude mods also use the body models from @lakovic. Astraia lingerie textures are from @amorrow28, who also made the many scripts and tutorials that make these mods possible.

Can you be more specific? What did you do to use it?

 

I just did this, and the 3dmigoto mods loaded with no errors:

• Fresh install of the game
• Downloaded files from here
• Copied shortened towel pkg files into data/asset/D3D11_us
• Copied files in the Bathing_MicroNudeSwap.7z/Bathing_MicroNudeSwap folder into /bin/x64

 

However, I did see those errors when I used an old version of the d3dx.ini file.

excuse me

Trails of Cold Steel See-Through Mod v1.1

Is this mod the best in CS3, thank you

[lakovic]

@amorrow28@NotAZebraHI, I found an interesting phenomenon when using 3dmigoto. When we use textures, CS3 rules PS-t1 and PS-t2 control two kinds of textures for body textures.

Spoiler

It is normal and realistic for the body in the game, but in the menu in is wrong.

Spoiler

I found that as long as I change ps-t1 to ps-t0, and ps-t2 to ps-t1, then she will be displayed normally in the game menu, but it will not be normal in the game,

Spoiler

 

the reason is that the game The ps-t1 in the game is a texture map, and the ps-t1 used in the game menu is a normal map, and the two will interfere with each other.

 

The above may be a bit confusing. I found that in the ini configuration file, just add a line ps-t0 to 00.dds, and the complete body can be displayed in the game menu, but the normal map in the control game menu and the game The texture maps are all ps-t1, so it will cause errors.

Spoiler

Spoiler

For this phenomenon, I don't know if you have any way to improve it

The character on the right looks darker, the one on the left is lighter, is the left upgraded?
I am also studying the parameters of pkg, and I found that some official initial parameters are actually wrong

 

[lakovic]

@NotAZebraI'm also working on the pkg version of CS3_mod recently, but pkg just provides a body skeleton information without making any changes, and the mod itself is still controlled by 3dmigoto. (Of course I haven't finished yet)
For this reason, I upgraded the original body. Compared with the previous body, the breasts will be more rounded, and the lower body will be more three-dimensional.

Spoiler

I'm glad you used the initial body I made, and here I provide the VB version of the body, hoping to help you.

The one on the left is unmodded and appears correctly. The image on the right has the shadow bug. This bug was fixed in version 2.2.1 of the pkg file tool chain from amorrow, and I think I re-compiled everything, so my mods for CS3 should no longer be dark like the image on the right.

This is a port of a Utawarerumono collaboration costume for Juna from CS4 that was a free bonus for Japan PS4. Thank you to @takuteka for sharing the costume.

To use, copy the contents of the data folder into your Trails of Cold Steel III data folder.  In the game, go to the DLC tab of the camp menu and use the "Juna's Kuon Costume," and this costume will be added to your inventory.

Ok, I replaced the upload here.  Hopefully this fixes it.  I do not own most of the DLC for CS3, so I do not know what item ID numbers they use.  This time I used internal numbers, so they should be safer.  Please let me know if this one works, thank you!

@amorrow28

I want to report a bug.
Here is a packed pkg of Aurelia's bath towels,C_CHR021_C02.pkg

which she looks like in-game.

Spoiler

Here I unpack her again, (The tool version I use is v2.2.2). then enter the C_CHR021_C02\assetconv_temp\dds_dae\D3D11 folder, find chr021_c01_02a_conv.dds,

Spoiler

I paint it randomly, and save it.

Spoiler

Then run build_collada.py and RunMe.bat, the generated C_CHR021_C02.pkg volume also changed, 3.49mb.

Spoiler

I put it back into the game, but the characters in the game haven't changed in any way? Why is this?

 

The same problem also appeared on Emma Hatless's model.

Spoiler

I unpacked her again, but I couldn't find the body texture file in C_CHR005_C00\assetconv_temp\dds_dae\D3D11. But it doesn't affect her nude appearance in the game.

Does it change when you restart the game? I noticed that changes to texture images will only show up without restarting ifI use a different file name.

I was able to decompile and alter that texture in your file without problems.  My guess as to what is happening is that you are using the same texture filename in more than one mod.  The game will cache textures to improve loading times; it expects that every copy of a file with the same name is identical.  Try changing the file names and see if that works!

[lakovic]

This is indeed caused by the game caching textures with the same name. When I make texture changes to pkg, I have to restart the game to take effect. Before I made changes to the mesh, I only need to reload the game file.
Another question, you use my Emma model, is she normally naked in the game, why when I unpacked her, I didn't find the body texture file.

Instructions are identical to my CS1/CS2 instructions.  (Except you are not looking for "Academy Swimsuit," which is the item needed in CS1/CS2.  In CS3, you are instead looking for "Bathing Clothes.")

I do not know the answer.  There is something strange about Body_ps1.dds, for some reason the decompiler will not process it.  I will try to figure it out, although I have been looking at it for an hour without any progress or new insight.

 

I recommend you (and every modder) always save your work folders.  Decompiling mods is never the best solution for making more mods, @fakecheng has already found that the compiler will distort the model if you decompile more than 2-3 times.
