Hook5 Skin System Guide

I managed to remove all other skins (except 5 of them) and I'm pretty sure now that the one I select as skin no6 is the correct hoo5 system one :) (when I removed it's folder I had 5 skins only)

The looks also changed, now it looks like this, maybe you seen such effect before?

Currently that only skin directory looks like this:
 

tomy@home /mnt/d/SBORKATK17v30FINA-myworkingclean/2 Pack/SBORKA V3.0 FINAL/TK17V3.0/Mod/ActiveMod/_Body02 15 AAA TEST $ ll

-rwxrwxrwx 1 tomy tomy     53 May  7 17:31 _skin_definition.txt

 

hook4data directory is also in ../ (ActiveMod)

Double checked paths in SkinDefinition - all of them point to existing files (.dds)
I'll attach skin definition file - maybe some of you guys can notice error in there

______________________________________________________________

EDIT: I changed all diffuse maps in skin definition file to some other - this time in png format:

tomy@home /mnt/d/SBORKATK17v30FINA-myworkingclean/2 Pack/SBORKA V3.0 FINAL/TK17V3.0/Mod/ActiveMod $ cat _Body02\ 15\ AAA\ TEST/_skin_SkinDefinitionFile.txt  | grep DiffuseMap
DiffuseMap = _hook5data\SkinFemale\Stage1_diffuse\Hootie.FairSkin.BigNips\Female_White_Body.png
DiffuseMap = _hook5data\SkinFemale\Stage1_diffuse\Hootie.FairSkin.BigNips\Female_White_Feet.png
DiffuseMap = _hook5data\SkinFemale\Stage1_diffuse\Hootie.FairSkin.BigNips\Female_White_Genital.png
DiffuseMap = _hook5data\SkinFemale\Stage1_diffuse\Hootie.FairSkin.BigNips\Female_White_Hand.png
DiffuseMap = _hook5data\SkinFemale\Stage1_diffuse\Hootie.FairSkin.BigNips\Female_White_Head.png

 

All paths are correct, and... while the model is still black (diffuse map not loading?) I think rest od the layers (at least some) are loaded - I can see grainy, specular or bumpmap, not pitch black (image attached)
 

Also - looks like hands and face work?! 

 


 

_skin_SkinDefinitionFile.txt

I didn't follow the whole thread, but I think I can give you some hints. Do you use Hook5 basic or paid? The _skin_definition.txt should only contain the lines:

 

[skin_data_file]
name = _skin_SkinDefinitionFile.txt

 

The _pass.txt files for head, body, feet, hands and genital should contain a line:

 

skin_data_layers = SkinXYZ where XYZ is the name of the body part.

 

These names have to be in your _skin_SkinDefinitionFile.txt:

 

[SkinGeneral]
.

.

.
Parts = SkinBody, SkinFeet, SkinGenit, SkinHand, SkinHead

 

In your _skin_SkinDefinitionFile.txt your path to the diffuse map is DiffuseMap = _hook5data\SkinFemale\Stage1_diffuse\Cara.Black\Female_White_Body.dds. You don't have to change these into PNGs.

Only the textures in your _Body02 15 AAA TEST folder have to be PNGs.

Did you find your Skin in the Customizer menu? The skin name appears in the left upper corner of the game window if you move your mouse pointer over it. You should first choose the 1x skin. If you choose 2x or 4x skins, you have to add the prefix mod2_ or mod_ respectively to the skin texture files e.g. Female_White_Body.png has to be changed to mod2_Female_White_Body.png or mod_Female_White_Body.png.

Take a look at the _pass.txt files in the _Body02 15 AAA TEST folder. The Female_WHITE_BODY_PASS.TXT has the following contents:

 

[pass]
name = CustomSkin
tessellation_level = 1

skin_data_layers = SkinBody

stage2 = Body Norm Spec\Fair Skin Athletic\fembody_norm.dds
stage3 = Body Norm Spec\Specularity 8 Female Shemale Fair Skin\fembody_spec.dds
stage4 = Body Norm Spec\Subsurface 1 Female Shemale Fair Skin\fembody_sub.dds

 

It might be that the normal and spec maps are loaded from the stage2 and stage3 paths and not from the _skin_SkinDefinitionFile.txt. I would recommend naming it differently so that there is no confusion with the _skin_definition.txt.

i got a werid problem everytime i create girl from hook5 textures after i created, game crashs alot at any map even at normal once not hook 5 

and when i checked mainfx_errors it always sayed that

WARNING: create shader texture DIFFUSELUT fail: file not exist
WARNING: create shader texture SPECULARLUT fail: file not exist

@Smartoffendum Hi, which version do you use the old TK17 or VX and do you use hook5 extended or hook5 basic? the error DIFFUSELUT and SPECULARLUT fail are not really important unless you want to use a LUT file. The create texture failed could mean that some textures in your ActiveMod folders might have the wrong dimension or format. First, I would deactivate hook5 by renaming the d3d8.dll file in your Binaries folder. Load up VX and create your model, then save and exit VX. Restart VX and try to load the model again. If it crashes, then your installation of VX is faulty. If everything runs normal, then you might want to check if you have all the dependencies for hook5.

 

 

 

Read the instructions carefully and check if all the files are in your Binaries folder. If the files are correctly installed, you might want to deactivate the folders in your ActiveMod folder by using the TK17_OptionsMan.exe and bit by bit figure out which mod is faulty. Then load VX again.

i use extend version but i think i was dublicate same skin at another model maybe that's why i got conflict and game crash???

@Smartoffendum You can use the same skin on different models. The game should not crash. Did you activate the 4GB patch in the TK17_OptionsMan.exe? It might be that the skins lead to exceeding the memory limit of VX. Load the models without clothes or other accessories. Only with the skin selected. Do you use 4x skins or 1x skins? You can select them in the Customizer under the Body tab. When you open the ingame menu of Hook5 which skins are showing when you click on skins? Which skin textures do you use? Did you take a lock at the logs in the Logs folder of the game? You might want to upload the logs that right after the crash so that I can take a look at them. The important ones are Klub-10.log and VX-addon.log.

i have the paid version and the active skins folders doesnt pick up anything. The paths are correct and i used the latest version of the klub. I dont understand how this mod is so goddamn sophisticated when all it is is making some pussy look cleaner

 

 

Do i have to install the mod into the VX folder?

 

this is step by step everything I've done

 

1. Downloaded the Mod

 

2. Installed Hook5.

 

3. Tested hook 5 to see if it worked and it did. I installed hook 5 basic with all files and the the hook 5 extended version which I'm guessing is the paid version.

 

4. Downloaded the 4k mod by the dude and tested to see if it worked. and it did. closes app and downloaded the ultimate skins mod..

 

5. (This is where shit gets wacky) So I put ALL the skins in the D:/Klub17/Mod/ActiveMod folder. 

 

6. I read that a guy had to take a template folder out and put it in the active mod folder and I did that. 

 

7. I opened up the text file and didn't understand jack shit and the explanations are too drawn out for me to understand so I said fuck it its geta work and booted the game up and couldn't find any of the textures in the active skins folder. 

 

P.S there were skins made for hook that were already in the files before I downloaded the 4k mod and ultimate skins mod and it still didnt detect the skins

 

its starting to be too time consuming . I only downloaded this mod for the fuck of it but if it gets too wacky and too much work imma stick with vanilla. 

 

I made this post if anyone would have the time to try and help me. please message me and hopefully we can set up a discord call because the text explanation isn't working. Or if someone COULD PLEASE make a video that I can see it would help so much thanks
