Mmm... I never actually had an issue with the screen fade out.

 

Disabling screen fadeout has two merits for us:

1. For moddders: Can inspect 3D model details by moving more close to characters in VR.

For example, while I'm modding eye mesh's direction to fix the issue "VR character always looks player's LEFT eye instead of CENTER of the eyes", I want to inspect the modded model with more closed look.

2. For polite players: Can kiss with characters like we could do in VR Kanojo, Virt-a-Mate, or Honey Select 2 VR.

That's interesting and good points. I wonder if it's possible to kind of reverse engineer the VR support and see how it works and then add VR support to Venus Vacation.

This is a model format guide (not a howto guide but maybe useful for modders?), according to TMC scripts in Zenhax forum.

 

(1) Basic structure of TMC model

There are multiple ObjGeo.
- ObjGeo defines an object (mesh group), and contains a GeoDecl and multiple mesh headers.
  - GeoDecl contains multiple GeoDecl datas.
      - GeoDecl data defines vertex data format.
  - Mesh header defines how many vertices/faces are there in the mesh. And mesh header depends on a GeoDecl data in the same ObjGeo.

 

(2) ObjGeo

They mean:
  - mesh count: 2
  - object name: WGT_body
  - offset to mesh headers: 544, 1360

 

(3) GeoDecl

They mean:
  - GeoDecl data count: 2
  - offset to GeoDecl datas: 64, 240
  - face indice count: 33894 (= face count x 3)
  - vertex count: 6533
  - vertex data size: 80 (in bytes)
  - vertex data elements count: 11
  - vertex data element formats: 8 byte data per element (11 values)

 

The vertex data element format (8 byte) is defined as follows:
  - (16bit int) zero: always zero
  - (16bit int) offset: element data offset in single vertex data
  - (16bit int) data type: 2-3 = 32bit float, 5 = 8bit int, 10-11: 16bit half float
  - (8bit int) data purpose: 0 = position, 1 = weights, 2 = local bone IDs, 3 = normal vector, 5 = UV, 6 = tangent vector
  - (8bit int) data index: data index if there are multiple elements with the same purpose

 

An exception:

  When purpose=UV and type=11, there are two UV elements datas instead of one.

 

(4) Mesh header

They mean:
  - GeoDecl data ID: 0 (it means this mesh uses GeoDecl data #0)
  - face indice count to skip: 0 (important when to determine offset later)
  - face indice count in mesh: 33894
  - vertex count to skip: 0 (important when to determine offset later)
  - vertex count in mesh: 6533

 

(5) LHeader/VtxLay/IdxLay

 

The actual vertex and face datas are written in TMCL file,

while the data offsets are defined in TMC file's LHeader/VtxLay/IdxLay.

 

They mean:
  - offset to texture/vertex/face data: 128, 5876480, 7027072
  - sizes of texture/vertex/face data: 5876352, 1150512, 122992

 

They mean:
  - offset to vertex data: 16, 522656, 568864, 1146624 (for GeoDecl data #0 to #3)
  - sizes of vertex data: 522640, 46208, 577760, 3888

  - offset to face data: 16, 67808, 70816, 122608 (for GeoDecl data #0 to #3)
  - sizes of face data: 67792, 3008, 51792, 384

 

Now you can read/update datas in TMCL.

 

The data offset of Nth vertex (N = 0, 1, ...) is:
  (LHeader's offset to vertex data) + (VtxLay's offset to vertex data) + (vertex data size) x (vertex count to skip) + (vertex data size) x N

 

The data offset of Nth face (N = 0, 1, ...) is:
  (LHeader's offset to face data) + (IdxLay's offset to face data) + 2 x (face indice count to skip) + 6 x N

This is how to replace 1K skin texture with 2K.

Thanks to this article I was able to replace the textures. Thank you!!!
And now I'm stuck without knowing how to replace the body mesh.
Could you please make a mesh version of the how to-like article on replacing textures?

Would be great if you could share your mods once you get the mesh issue fixed.

It would be much better and way easier to just create and release some nude mods for the PS4 version, it is superior to all other versions because of the VR support, no other version has it.

Hello all, so I've been looking for mods for DOAX3F for quite a while, previously here there's been a couple threads that have been removed regarding the subject and there's been lots of talks/posts of some secret chinese forums having them and them also being available on discord but despite asking my chinese friends and scouring the LL discord I have not found such mods, I've only found one person that claims they have them but they won't share them because they "got trolled" when they released them for the Vita version, (as if trolling wouldn't be something you deal with and expect of being on the internet) he even refused money, so after not finding any I asked a friend if he could make one, he did and it was awesome, I won't lie reversing the tmcl format on PS4 was pretty difficult, I know as I ran a bunch of tests for him but he can't really justify spending more time on it plus he lost some of his reversing progress due to drive failure.

If any intelligent mind here could create mods for this version it would be great, it is the only version with a VR mode and much less xtreme gacha mechanics, there's even 100% completed saves out there which just makes me ponder why mods haven't been released for this game, there's even the option of fully revamping it and adding the girls from the PC version, with VR support built-in.

Practicing what I preach, I will release the nude mod here, it's not finished but as a Proof of Concept it works pretty well, it's only for Helena and it will replace the Xtreme Sexy 'F' if you have it installed, enjoy.

If you don't mind me asking, how exactly does this mod work or how does one install it into the game? I'm not familiar with how PS4 games' architecture works, so what is the pkg file supposed to be for?

[XaviorPants]

Can someone get a video of mods running on PS4 DOAX?

Sorry for the super late reply, you basically need a PS4 on 5.05/6.72 or 9.00 firmware, you mod it then install the pkg file linked in the first post via Debug Settings -> Game -> Install Package Files, the mod itself is actually the Xtreme Sexy 'F' so it will repleace it if you have the original one.

Thank you for this info. I will try this on my PS4, but the link you mention seems to be broken.

Well, shit. Turns out my PS4 is running on 9.03 firmware. Guess I gotta wait for an eventual jailbreak for that version. Oh well... Hope to see the PS4 version get more love from modders.

 

Has anyone tested VR yet with mods?

That sucks, 9.00 is the latest publicly jailbroken firmware, no way around it unless you find an exploit yourself.


Yeah, the Helena PoC mod works with VR normally, I'm sure any other texture mod would too.

Damn, that is awesome.

[Guest]

Is no one really interested in modding the PS4 version? Even just a simple PC texture conversion could work, considering most of the reversing work has already been done by violetta3ds right on this thread, there was even someone that was able to mod the game but they deleted their post, It's really annoying that no one wants to share.

I can share some PoC mods if someone could post the

howto guide to disable black screen fadeout problem in VR mode with ps4debug etc.

No, you should know who.

 

VR is indeed great, that is why the PS4 version is leagues above the PC gacha-crammed version.

It would be more likely that people get interested in modding the game if you share your mods outright and then generate discussion around the subject you are interested in, it worked for me.

Interesting, I wish this DOAX3F/S modding stuff wasn't so secretive, there's literally no reason not to share and help grow the community.

If people are scared of Tecmo, I'm sure as long as you are not selling the mods it's all ok, considering they don't care about the mod that I literally uploaded right on this thread and the hundred others available for DOAXVV it makes sense.

Okay, now I am feeling the pain of being stuck with my 9.03 PS4. That looks goddam incredible! I might just end up selling mine and buying a PS4 with compatible firmware on eBay.

 

@violetta3ds Is that VR footage from a regular PS4 or a Pro?

VR + EXREME + BP IS VERY COMBUSTIBILITY

But there's still a high wall for normal gamers when it comes to PS4 modding,

so looking forward to seeing what KT has to offer at TGS.
Although it cannot be denied that the console version looks even more beautiful than DOAXVV, even DOA6 does.

It's PS4 Pro and PSVR but there are no differences in VR except stable framerate.

If you want to take 4K screenshot in 2D mode, PS4 Pro wins.

Yes, DOAXVV uses simplified shaders and lightings to support low-end PCs even with the highest settings. Reshade can't resolve this problem.
