Neptunia Virtual Stars [Mod Request]

[Mr Dogpound]

I know they're tools for this game similar to VIIR including the opening of the archive files and converting and remaking the textures for the game, but can somebody help me figure out if the character MDL or MDLX file is still working with the same blender script for modding? The archive for the characters is GxArchivedFile054.dat and it seems that they changed the model files of the characters

 

I tried to open it in blender and it gave me an error from the same script.

 

Can somebody help me? I have uploaded the archive containing the characters and some other models from the game.

 

P.S. The game came out yesterday

where are the Character files whats the names of The Mdl or Mdlx Character files

[Mr Dogpound]

Inside the zip archive, but they are named in numbers so i don't know their names. When i extracted them, it showed me number id names of them than their full names.

 

i used this dat tool to extract the archive .dat files for the game,

 

Then, I converted the .TEX files using this tool to .DDS .

 

When i used this program to import the .MDL file in blender, it gave me an error..........

 

P.S They only made .MDL files for the game. Not .MDLX.....

 

[DivineKyuubi]

Oh i see okay i also tried to Import the Mdl files into blender but it also gave me an error we have to wait till someone updates the Import scripts and Export Program so that it can work with Neptunia Virtual Stars

[Aximili]

Someone from undertow is already working on updating the scripts for Neptunia Virtual Stars

[Mr Dogpound]

I think i'ts ready, https://www.mediafire.com/file/gvvufwcjfv9129n/io_import_compile_heart_mdlx_20210402.7z/file

 

 

[Aximili]

This version cannot handle morph data.

 

Apparently the new model version contain morph data for the facial expressions, the latest version of the script from yesterday still cannot handle them, but at it should allow for costume edits.

Windbell has updated the Modify Mdlx its can now work with Neptunia Virtual Stars or at least i think so cuz i havent tried it yet you need to use the Option --nepvs https://www.undertow.club/threads/neptunia-virtual-stars-mod-request.16486/#post-227734

modify_mdlx_20210404.7z

[Mr Dogpound]

He also updated the scripts for blender and modify_mdlx to read morph data  https://www.undertow.club/threads/neptunia-virtual-stars-mod-request.16486/.. 

 

Also, can somebody bring the raw MDL, TEX, and MDC character files so that anyone can mod the game?

 

They are in this section:

 

GxArchivedFile054 - Characters and some Virtual Idols

GxArchivedFile002, GxArchivedFile007, GxArchivedFile008 - Towakiseki

GxArchivedFile009 - Kizuna Ai

 

(P.S I didn't find any DLC character in my files, can somebody share them here?)

There's no DLC characters, only DLC costumes, no idea as to which files they are located in though.

 

Also there are 2 test mods at undertow, Topless Me and You, but they do require the V-Idol Bikini set DLC

Okay, well.....can you bring the raw MDL and TEX files for the dlc costumes for v-idols and goddess? 

 

(Btw, do you have the game and the DLC?)

 

The dlc costumes are stored in GxArchivedFile054.bat. You can use this tool to unpack .dat files http://www.mediafire.com/file/uz9dwe6dq37lwxn/dat_tool_20200828.7z/file

 

and also this tool to convert .tex to .dds http://www.mediafire.com/file/g5ha9ffn2abfoz5/tex_tool_20200828.7z/file

For io_import_compile_heart_mdlx.py, select the property "Game" according to the game file to be imported.

 

Use the option "--nepvs" to read the Neptunia Virtual Stars mdl file with modify_mdlx.

modify_mdlx.exe  --nepvs  mdl_file  -c  exported_file  -o  new_mdl_file
