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!

@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?

You certainly find interesting problems!

 

I looked carefully, and Ash's badge is not part of his model.  It is a separate .pkg entirely, similar to weapons and hats.  I do not know which .pkg has the badge though, because it is not listed in t_attach.tbl.

 

It attaches to his model at a node called "Badge Point" - this is known as a locator.

 

Spoiler

 

You can see the connector here in chr012.inf:

 

Spoiler

 

Specific nodes are defined as locators for the models in the metadata.json:

 

Spoiler

 

And, you can see, when I delete the locator (by deleting the highlighted line from the metadata), the badge is gone.

 

Spoiler

 

To be clear, I have not deleted the node.  I simply told the compiler not to use it as a locator.

[lakovic]

@amorrow28Thank you. You have always helped me solve many problems

Hello amorrow28,
I am having a bit of a problem installing nude mods for TOCS3.

 

I installed your Unskirt-mod sucessfully (3dmigoto version). Following your instructions I wanted to use the saved game you kindly provided but the game refuses to load it, because my game installation lacks DLCs that are used in your saved game.

 

Could you say which DLCs that might be? Unfortunately, I also can't get cheat table to work with ToCS3 - bummer.

 

By the way: is it correct that also NotAZebra's mod requires different costumes? For that I couldn't bring to work either.

 

P.S. I never expected the ToCS1/2 mods to be debugged. I just wanted to give deserved credit and provide others with a realistic impression.

I must say that your educational approach to enable people to mod themselves, is admirable. I tried this once for another game (Drakensang) but that was by far less complex than this.

[lakovic]

As far as I know, amorrow28's Unskirt-mod deletes almost everything that can delete skirts, so you don't have to worry about which DLC supports it or not, you just need to buy it boldly

You are right, of course. I forgot to mention the detail that I was in the middle of installing amorrow28's compatibility wrapper for using coomi's nude mods (link).

It was a couple of years ago so I may be misremembering, but I think I edited my save file to get the towels. If you open it in a hex editor, you can find a load of "0f 27 00" entries which mean "nothing to see here". The first two bytes are an index describing the item, and then the byte after describes how many you have. So if you replace the top one with, looking at my save file, "17 03 0f" or "18 03 0f" or "19 03 0f" (and you can add all three at the same time in different slots) one of those might get you 15 of the necessary towels. No guarantees though.

Here is an installable DLC that will give you 20 Bathing Clothes!  This is hopefully now the easiest way for anyone to get this item.

 

ExtraBathingClothesCS3DLC.7z

 

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 "Extra Bathing Clothes," and the items will be added to your inventory.

 

  Hide contents

 

Note:

Spoiler

This will use up DLC slot #199 (which I believe no one is using right now anyway).  If you happen to already have a custom DLC in 199, just use this DLC, then re-install the other custom DLC and it will be restored.  If you do not have anything in 199, leave this in place.  You can overwrite it in the future, but deleting it will make your save unloadable.

For the record, if you want to use my save file, these are my DLC, but the above method should be much easier.  Or the Cheat Engine method.
 

Spoiler

Active Red Swimsuit
Standard Glasses Set
Cute Hair Extension Set
Cool Hair Extension Set
Juna's Lloyd Bannings Costume
Kitty Noir Set
Coquettish Blue Swimsuit
Faculty Swimsuit Set
Rean's Unspeakable Costume

 

I think I got most of these for free?  I definitely bought swimsuits, but I doubt I'd pay money for the rest, it must've been a steam sale or something.

The bath towels are 793, which is 0x0319 or 19 03 in little endian.

[lakovic]

Can this DLC enable people who do not have their own bath towels to also receive them? Or is it necessary to make clothes

This DLC only gives the in-game item, nothing more.  To use nude mods with the larger class, towels still need to be brought over from CS4 and Hajimari.

[schuft]

@amorrow28: Very nice! I will let you know how it works.

Do you imply that I could edit any of those "0f2700" entries with "19 03 0f" to get the towels?! I would have rather expected it would be a specific "00" that has to be changed.

It might possibly work, but I expect that the game just reads through all the non-empty inventory slots in turn until it gets to an empty one, and then stops, so it probably needs to be the top one. (The top one of a long succession of them each 32 bytes apart.) ("0f" can be any number, that's just 15 in hex. "ff" will get you 255. Maybe setting the byte after that would get you even more.)

[schuft]

Just a short note that everything worked fine. I chose to use the  - more manly? - method of hexediting to get the costumes. Many thanks for the support everyone!

Juna’s hair: down or magical

• Convert to hair down: CS3_Juna_Hair_UpToDown.7z
• Convert to magical hair: CS3_Juna_Hair_UpToMagical.7z

Use:

• Have 3dmigoto installed (you can use my 3dmigoto environment if you don’t have one: 3dmigoto_CS3.7z)
• Extract the mod files you want to use
• Place either set of mod files (not both)* in the Mods folder

Why 3dmigoto? The hair mesh is identical across many Juna models, so this is far easier than modifying every pkg file. This is also compatible with other pkg file mods as long as they don’t alter the hair mesh.

 

Other hair mods:

• This mod for Reverie
• This mod for CS4
• Give Fran’s hair to Noel (Reverie)

Can you clarify when you see that and when you don’t? @NotAZebra

 

Continuing from this post.

 

Usually any time the camera is pointed towards the sky or is level with the ground the hair bits will pop out. Switching to her gun mode during combat makes it more obvious I think. Among Juna's crafts, it's most prominent in her Brave_Heart/Smash/3rd craft. It appears somewhat often during cutscenes too since the camera is usually angled straight and close to the ground.

if it is intermittent, it’s probably a secondary pixel shader. Make it appear, then press F12, cycle through the shaders with NumPad1/2, copy to clipboard with Num3 when you find it. Edit common_shaders.ini and add it to the bottom. Press F10 to reload the configuration. Please share the shader hash here and tag @NotAZebra so the configuration can be updated.

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.
