wow, pretty huge spoiler in that photo, perhaps we should discuss in the hajimari thread? For now please mark as spoiler or delete the photo.

 

In regards to that outfit, does it work in the character viewer? I haven’t played the game, but I thought I had it working properly. (Reply in hajimari thread please)

Oh whoops, my bad, i thought i was posting in the Hajimari thread, must still be half asleep lol

Tutorial time!  This time, let's get a model into Blender.  There's multiple ways to do this and this is my way.  I use this method (even though it takes up a lot more space) because it's really fast, and also allows me to do texture work if I need to.  (@Whayameen asked for more tights deletes, and they're coming!!)  This tutorial is meant for use with the 3Dmigoto configuration that comes with my unskirt mod installed (since mesh work requires compatibility with multiple vertex buffer injection).

 

First, setup python, blender and plugins.  See the top of my last tutorial:  https://www.loverslab.com/topic/166239-trails-of-cold-steel-4-mod-request/?do=findComment&comment=3757792

 

1. Also install Paint.NET if you don't have it.  http://paint.net/

 

1. Set up your 3Dmigoto to dump textures.  Edit your d3dx.ini file (in TOCS4\bin\Win64).  Look for "analyse_options" - if you're using my plugin (which you should be), it's on line 481.  Set the options to "dump_vb dump_ib txt dump_tex dds"

 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

2. Reload 3Dmigoto config by pressing F10 while in game.  Press F12 to enter hunting mode (the top of the screen should show the current marked shaders VS/PS etc).

 

3. Get your character in frame, and press F8 to dump the frame.  The game will momentarily freeze, then report where the frame dump was saved to.

 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

4. Open the folder, and copy my "vb_merge.py" script into the folder.  Run the script.  It will take a minute to merge all the buffers.  A new folder "output" should now be in the folder, these are the buffers you will use.

 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

5. Let's find the buffers you want!  If you want just 1-2 buffers, it's faster to use hunting mode, but in this tutorial we're going to grab a bunch.  (NOTE: The first time you do this, you won't see icons like my screen!  Open a texture file {*.dds} in Paint.NET, and select "always use this program" and it'll associate properly and show icons.)

 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

Because we want to modify an outfit in this case, I'm going to ID the clothes and the body meshes by texture mapping.
- In the frame analysis folder, go into the "deduped" folder.
- Right click -> Sort By -> Type
- Right click -> View -> Large icons
- Find the textures you need, and copy down the hash (first 8 hexadecimal digits).  (The two I'm grabbing here are "65caf638" which has the legs and "57533639" which has the dress)
 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

 

 

6. Go back into the frame dump folder, and search for the hashes.  Here are the results for 65caf638 and 57533639, for example.  Note the mesh numbers (different for every frame).  Based on the two sets of results, I'm going to try opening meshes 48-60.  Notice 56 and 57 aren't in my search results but I'm going to open them anyway - it's because the model is always in consecutive numbers so I know 56 and 57 are part of the model.

 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

 

7. Open Blender.  Delete whatever is already there.  Go to File -> Import -> 3DMigoto frame analysis dump (vb.txt + ib.txt).  Select the relevant hashes (here I grabbed 48 through 60), and open.

 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

 

8. Tada!

 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

(You'll notice there are a lot of duplicate hashes - I ended up deleting 49, 51, 53, 55, 58 and 60.)  Be careful with duplicate meshes, they're not identical.  Be sure to use the version with the most buffers, for example 48 has vb0-vb5 and 49 has vb0-vb4 so 48 is correct.  It's 99.9% of the time the first one - so if 48, 49, 81, and 82 are all identical, 48 would be the correct one pretty much every time.

 

Next time, we'll try injection!

COOL! THANKS FOR THIS TUTORIAL ON IMPORTING MODELS INTO BELDNER VIA MIGOTO PLUGIN!! HOPEFULLY I CAN GET SOME RESULTS THIS TIME BY FOLLOWING THIS!! : D

Here's everyone else, excluding Alisa who I forgot to include in the picture. Sara, Sharon, Claire and Duvalie had small size changes, while the others got minor edits so that they don't look identical at a glance. The only one I haven't modified is Juna, who still uses the default body.

I'm trying too see if I can do Aurelia, iv never modded anything before and don't know if I will be successful or not but I'm following the tutorial on how to mod in 3DMigoto to make this happen, only thing I'm struggling with is importing the model I need to work on in blender, amorrow28 recently released a tutorial on how to do that and some tips so I just need to try it out again and follow the steps too the T tho it may take some time lol.

My hope is that eventually every girl that had a bathing towel costume gets a nude skin. If we can get that then I'd like to ask all the modders who worked on this if we could compile everything into a single. easily accessible mod for each game (CS3, 4 and Hajimari). I would also like to edit the game script (I know it's possible I just don't know how) to remove any mention of towels during the bathing scenes (I think it only comes up like two or three times) for immersion purposes and we could release it all as the "natural bathing mod" to turn all the bath scenes into proper nude scenes.

 

I think these are the only ones with bathing outfits still missing from these mods:

Aurelia

Roselia

And with new mods comes more screenshots! Here's The 3rd (all-nude) edition of CScreens:
CScreens3.rar

(Btw, this is off-topic but how do you make the inserted attached file normal sized? Like, the files I insert only gets a tiny box for some reason but everyone else's files have normal sized boxes with info and stuff. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. ?)

 

I’d like to think Tita’s expression in picture 3 is in reaction to your pun… ? absolutely legendary.

 

Thanks as always for the screenshots (and also thank you to @erawe above)!

 

ps I have no idea regarding the box size. It always seems to start full size for me, and when I mark old versions obsolete, it shrinks for some reason. I think maybe because it needs to be inserted into its own line with no text? I dunno.

When using the unskirt, clear towel, base nude mod and the new adjusted body mod, the characters appear glitched in all cases beyond standard play. When running around, in battle and during cutscenes, they all look great. But when the 3D models appear in the text boxes, during the minigames and on the menu screen, they have distorted textures on their torsos. Is this a normal issue or did I somehow install something wrong? I used all of these mods minus the new nude mod together for quite a while and had no issue, so I assume this is due to the custom bodies. Its not a huge deal, I'm just curious if its something I did wrong or a known issue.

That's current expected behavior, and I don't really have any intention of fixing it (as I've stated multiple times before, I have no interest in supporting mods beyond my own, although I did make an exception to fix Juna's model in CS3).  It's possible to fix, but will require editing all the .ini files to map the textures to the proper pixel shaders because for some reason CS4 uses different texture mappings for in-menu vs in-game.  With the skirt deletes this isn't a huge issue (because I'm changing meshes and mostly leaving textures alone), but mapping textures can cause some very strange issues to pop up in game. It's very hit and miss, and troubleshooting these things has been very tedious.

 

In fact it's very likely that the next version of my skirt delete will remove support for previewing many texture changes on my own mod (e.g. tights deletes) due to the excessive artifacting.  I've managed to nail down CS3 for the most part, but I've really been struggling to fix the visual issues in CS4.  Once I finally beat the game, I'm going to strip all the code and rebase it.  I don't want to do so until I have access to the debug room though.

 

If you'd like it fixed, you're welcome to do so.  Simply open up one of my supported .ini files (for example AltinaTightsDelete.ini) and compare to the .ini files in the nude mods.  You'll see what needs to be changed.

 

EDIT: To be clear, I don't actually recommend fixing it.  It will cause more problems.  Probably what I'm going to do is make it so it looks like normal towels in the menu in the next version, so at least it doesn't look so crazy.

I was taking some shots in Bryonia Island and as soon as I saw this guy I was like "Yep, he's in." I'm glad people seem to like my screens because that's the only way my tiny peanut brain can contribute to this modding community ?

By the way, loving to see the progress you and @Switch608 are making on the models swaps! It would be pretty crazy if you two find a way to solidify an easy&quick method for that whole procress. The concert is one thing, but imagine swapping Sara with Angie and making her do high kicks ?

No pressure though, after all you guys have already done an astounding amount of work (for free!! sheeeesh!!!) so you could stop doing this today and it would be totally understandable. That being said, I do really want to see that final UnSkirt mod. But no pressure tho.

Btw I may be giving away my work but I’m definitely not doing it for free… as far as I can tell, giving away my mod has gotten me 1. nude mods, 2. dozens of screenshots, 3. a gifted-to-me copy of hajimari, 4. the push I needed to get better at texture / modeling / scripting work (I’m really enjoying using my own mod honestly and there’s no way I would have done that much work if it was just for my own use), and 5. did I mention nude best girl?????

 

I personally see little reason to charge (even when free my mod has barely over 200 downloads), and plenty of legal risk (these assets don’t belong to me).

 

Honestly I have to keep thanking @Zero_Fucks_Given for gifting Hajimari to a random stranger on the internet, which really opened up the floodgates - I hope he feels he got his money’s worth!

我个人认为没有什么收费的理由（即使免费时我的 mod 下载量也只有 200 多次），并且存在大量法律风险（这些资产不属于我）。

Nice to see the Trails of games getting mods finally. Been wanting to play them for a while. This might give me the push I needed
I wish CS1 and 2 had some too, since I basically have to play them before getting to 3 and 4. I understand the PS Vita graphics are less appealing to most people though.

In fairness, the "official translation" is just going to be the fan translation with slight edits (NISA bought the translation and the trailers show it is largely similar), and probably fewer quality of life features. You can always just play the fan translation and buy the official later. I can say from experience that CS3 and 4 get confusing without having played Crossbell first.

Yep i know, maybe i will do this, i already have games and patches so...

[coomi]

I made some edits to the smaller girls to more closely resemble the original towel body. Namely, I shrunk their shoulders and thighs, as they were pretty large on the original nude model. The comparison image is not great but you should get the general idea. I edited Fie, Tio, Altina, Renne and Tita. Towa was fine without any edits.

 

I also tried to fix some of the beginner mistakes in my first models. I spent well over an hour trying to fix a weird shape in Altina's armpit. It would have been faster to just remake the model from scratch.
