Action Taimanin

[DatWombat]

Hey all, so sorry. My work/life balance went to shit and I kind of dropped most of my projects until recently.

 

I'm currently working on an updated patch. However, a handful of models don't seem to be working anymore; I'm gonna try working some magic to get them back in shape. I think the developers changed a few asset IDs and possibly updated a few models, because the glitches I'm experiencing are quite familiar. They only occur when a model is not correctly imported, which I know mine originally were.

 

I'm 90% sure I know the fix, I'm literally working on updated models on my third monitor.

 

Stay tuned, I'm also rewriting my tutorial and I plan on offering "drag-n'-drop" installation. I now have access to a content delivery service that allows me to upload large files now, so I don't have to ship ONLY the modified files. I can pre-write files and provide them for easier experience.

 

However, I will still provide EMIP files for manual patching for anyone interested in taking the long route or with slow download speed.

Shown below is a common visual glitch from mis-imported models; no model can be rendered.

 

 

 

Fortunately, my suspicions were correct and the fix was quick and easy. Only took a few minutes ^-^

 

 

[DatWombat]

I was able to port over most of Moderchan's models to the current build of Action Taimanin. However, there seems to be a few casualties; It'll take some extra work for me to fix the models, so for the updated patch I'll focus on working models and models with quick fixes.

 

I haven't been able to fix Emily, Noah or Ingrid.

Looks like a fix for Emily is gonna be a doozy, unfortunately it doesn't appear any of my existing models are compatible with her current files. I think I'll have to graft her mesh onto the existing skeleton. . . hopefully that's easy?

 

A fix for Noah may require that I work from scratch. That'll definitely be hard, but I may try to reverse engineer Moderchan's models to create a new Noah model. While browsing the topology of his work, I found what appears to be a base model that he used for each character. Between a base, nude mesh and some creative snipping of accessories I bet I could make fun edits with costumes.

 

 

A fix for Ingrid will require some work redoing weighting and topology, it seems. When I port her model into a usable format she is missing quite a bit of vertices, much like Noah.

 

Currently treating what appears to be issues with normal maps or something, whatever tells the game how to reflect light from outfits. Once I get these sorted, I'll put together a patch and upload as-is. Next step will be figuring out how to "remesh" existing skeletons.

Feels like I finally found the Oasis in the middle of the desert!!

[DatWombat]

BY THE DIVINES I FIGURED OUT HOW TO REPAIR MISSING VERITICES AND GRAFT MESHES THIS IS HUGE
. . . sorta. I took some shots in the dark and my novice level 3D modeling experience pointed me to materials, which I confirmed to be the issue with Emily's mesh. I have a feeling Noah and Ingrid's meshes are experiencing similar issues and simply require updated material settings to the game knows to render them with textures.

 

I also went around and trimmed up a lot of bad specular and normal maps, also knocked out a few unintended meshes. Some models are made of multiple parts and they need to be "zeroed out" if you don't want them showing up in-game.

 

I know this model is pretty janky at the moment; I need to replace what appears to be a "grade map" and some stray vertices, but the significance behind this model is that I literally took the default skeleton and basically mesh swapped it. I didn't replace the entire model, just the mesh on the skeleton.

@DatWombat Wow, it's unexpected and great to see you revisiting this. I still install your original work because it's still effective for several characters even on the latest build. It'll be great to see an update with more working models!

 

Out of curiosity, were you ever able to incorporate moderchan's final Rinko model? He put it out there shortly before they reworked Rinko and broke it. If so, awesome. If not, but you'd like to incorporate it, I probably still have a file around somewhere that should have it. If not and you'd rather not work on it, no worries.

I thought I had access to Rinko, but I haven't been able to locate her model. If someone has access to a patched model_char or bak000X file generated from Moderchan's EXE installer, I think) that was patched with his Rinko model, I can extract the model and attempt to repair her. 

 

Reworks would introduce new vertices and weighting though, so I'm unsure if it'd be an easy conversion like most models I'm working with. But I have a feeling it'd go something like Emily's model I'm working with; I simply need to re-rig the old mesh to make her compatible with modern updates again.

 

Is this Moderchan's model? This is the only nude Rinko model I have right now. I'd have to dig through his archives, documentation or compare vertices to confirm if it's his work. Regardless, I haven't attempted to port this model into Action Taimanin yet; I actually recently located it, among others as part of my personal data file back ups.

I feel like such an idiot, I spent the last six-ish hours on a wild goose chase to pin down the Emily bug I had; I thought the issue was mask texture (used for the dye system) but it turns out I forgot to overwrite the SPECULAR texture. 

 

I have successfully grafted Moderchan's nude mesh onto a new armature and repaired all (but glasses) textures for Emily. 

 

Emily is literally my favorite character in the game and I REFUSED to upload this patch without doing her justice!

Just started using the nude character models you guys have been working on, they look great so far, but does anyone have a current-ish nsfw portrait mod? I tried installing the 2 year old one from earlier in the thread, but it doesn't seem to be working.

Hey, I don't think I have an archive of that mod or any data files with it's contents, unfortunately. 

 

If anyone has a copy of the patches game files WITH the mod installed, regardless if it works or not I could likely repair its contents for current versions of the game.

 

Update: I don't think that'd be necessary, I could literally just make a working version by myself. I had a look at what files the installer was actually changing and it's actually quite straightforward; fortunately, the mod author provided all of the assets they used in the mod OUTSIDE the installer, which means actually fixing the mod would be as simple as overwriting the game's portraits with theirs and distribute via my own distribution system.

Also, I think a lot of that art was from official-ish sources originally anyway. After all, outside of this particular game, this IP has tons of explicit hentai art.

 

This, btw, SHOULD be a model_char file with a full nude Rinko (also Su). I'm not sure how to verify it, but I've had it for a long time and I think I gave it this name to remind me which one it was. (I have several old model_char files I've hung onto in case they ever wound up being useful).

If this isn't the right one, I also have an old pristine copy of the model_char file from back when the original moderchan exe installers worked, and I have all the old exe installers. So I should be able to make a file that has anything you'd want.

Maybe I'll combine the mods, with credit due where it's due. I feel like most users would prefer an "all in one solution" anyways.

 

Lemme verify real quick, it should only take a minute. . . 

 

Yep, I was able to pull a nude model for Rinku. I also located Su, which is quite exciting because I don't seem to have full nude of either! 

 

I currently have full nude models of igawa asagi, asuka, emily, kirara, kurenai, murasaki, oboro, shiranui, shizuru and yukikaze and a broken Noah

Partial nudes of astaroth and tokiko, and a broken ingrid and most characters listed above. I'm unsure what mod I pulled them from, but I have them.

You've got Oboro? When I got to her in the story her model was a bit eldritch.

Yes, I have Oboro. She will be included in the patch I'm working on.

 

I'm going to upload a pre-modified model_char so everyone can download via drag-n'-drop ^-^

Yeah, I'm probably just seeing a few problems because I'm using the old version when you're just about done with the replacement for it.

[DatWombat]

Once I finish fixing my favorite playable character I'll resume patching the current version of the game!

 

You are current, however. When models become twisted, it's usually related to when the developers rework existing models or change asset IDs.

Awesome! Glad it was the right file.

 

As for your list, I think you also have Sakura (which is just the same model as Asagi and Murasaki, though). Otherwise.... let's see.... Moderchan did make skimpy but not nude mods for Maika and Felicia. Felicia is topless in panties with band-aids over her nipples. Maika just has a trimmed down version of her default outfit. If you're lacking those models, I could probably put together a file that has them. Also, I could add Ingrid and Noah to it, but I'm not sure if that would help. Lmk if you need any of that.

And a new nude patch is LIVE!

 

I have a download available on my personal website with an updated drag and drop tutorial. 

 

https://wombattrap.com/mod/action-taimanin/action-taimanin-nude-patch/

 

I'm currently offering EMIP/package files for installation via UABEA (small file, manual installation) and pre-patched files (LARGE file, drag and drop installation). I want to re-write my tutorial for EMIP/package installation, so I'd recommend the latter installation. . . but personally, I have the knowhow and preference for the former.

 

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to rescue ALL nude models from previous working versions of Moderchan's mods. HOWEVER, yesterday I spent ALL DAY learning how to repair his models for current updates and possibly, how to patch the remaining characters of the game using his work as a foundation.

 

It'll take some work with Photoshop, but I can tell Moderchan used shortcuts and I'm reverse engineering them.

 

I want to fix Ingrid and Noah's model, and I want to add Jingli and Rinko. But for the time being, I'm uploading a working patch with all current working/repaired models I have on hand. I'll continue working on other existing models and attempt to fuse the portrait mod with mine as an "all in one solution".

 

After all that, it'll probably be time to move onto lewding the remaining models.

 

Feedback is crucial to development, please let me know if I fucked anything up. This time around, I actually updated a huge amount of textures that I think were missed in Moderchan's original works; updated normals, masks and specular maps for all applicable characters. Due to the extensive work it takes for me to make working models (case in point, Emily), I'm bound to fuck something up somewhere.

 

The mod is tested and confirmed to work for Action Taimanin ver 2.10.72.

Sure! I'm just glad to be back on modding, I forgot how much I love adding tiddies to games.

 

I'll keep working on this mod, but don't hate me when I say I'll probably release an update when Action Taimanin updates; this gives me time to act upon feedback and work on my own updates. I started using this modding model when I started modding Fida Puti Samurai and it worked out pretty well for me.

 

It takes me a lot of time to build patches because I always have to start from scratch. For time efficiency, I try to add updates only when I'm building patches from scratch.

Awesome i hope all the girls can get a nude mod

[annoyedlurker]

Would anyone be interested in nude/lewd supporters? I've got no idea how to mod myself, but I could do the legwork of gathering the art and making sure they're the correct size if people think it's worth it.

Hey @annoyedlurker, I am actually experimenting with the possibility of "nude/lewd supporters" using AI as framework and touching up the results by hand. Normally, I handle nude portraits strictly by hand, but I feel it'd be better to prioritize 3D modeling.

 

But I can say with confidence the results are promising and I think I can make some pretty solid nude supporters!

Hi @eystopreadingthis, maybe? 

 

Technically, breast expansion isn't hard but it's quite a bit of work maintaining a single patch as-is. It probably takes me 30-ish minutes everytime I want to build a new patch; I have to start from scratch every time.

That's cool, looking through things there were a whole bunch of girls that didn't have nude art, so it'll be nice to have them undressed too. Would nudes of the girls that have them cut down on your workload, or are you just going to do all AI?
