I'm getting a lot of errors when I try to use this.

 

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 great. I will definitely use these.

 

There is a gap in the A-cup mesh in the crotch:

It was easy to fix. Here is the fixed model (with nothing else changed):

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.

C_CHR005_C00.pkg

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.

Does anyone know the item ID for the Bathrobes/ Towels? Is my first time playing CS3 and I'm using cheat engine to try and get the customs.

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.

Thank you, I am also curious about this problem, but it is not important, you are right, when I use the name body_ps1, there are often problems, I change other names, it is not easy to make mistakes, these are some strange bugs

The game engine is crazy. It is amazing this works at all…

 

But I am glad the tools work. We are very lucky to have your mods!

[lakovic]

@amorrow28hi, sorry to bother you again, my CS3_mod is currently nearing completion, I tried to modify Ash today and I found out that his chest badge is missing, yes it doesn't have this mesh, I checked several times.

Spoiler

So my final PKG_Ash it looks like this

Spoiler

C_CHR012.pkg
When I realized this problem, I immediately checked Juna, Musse, Kurt, Altina and found that Musse also had this problem.

Some materials have two texture coordinate layers; I think this is utilized to improve texture resolution for fine details (like the Thors arm patch on the school uniforms).  You can see this by examining the mesh .uvmap file, where there are two TexCoord mappings:

 

Spoiler

 

Note that for some reason, the game is using map 0 and map 3.  That means that maps 1 and 2 are garbage.  In Blender, you can see the two separate maps:  Here is Map 0:

 

Spoiler

 

And here is Map 3:

 

Spoiler

 

In the metadata.json, you can see that this material "chr011_monyou" has two texture slots for base textures:

 

Spoiler

 

Please note that you CANNOT simply delete the second texture or texture map; this shader expects two textures.  My suggestion is to remove this material entirely (delete the mesh) if you can or change it to a different material. If you need to use this material with a single texture, simply delete all the coordinates on the second map and map everything to the first map.

[lakovic]

What I mean is, I unpacked through the initial pkg, but I didn't find this mesh. This problem exists in both Ash and Musse's initial clothing. How can I delete it?
