I haven't done any model swaps myself. My mods work by simply overwriting some in-game textures.

That being said, I also did find the tutorial a bit difficult to follow. I think I had to search on my own to get the right software to package everything up. Are you using UnrealPak (UnrealPak-With-Compression.bat) to package your assets? My only thought is that if you were using the wrong software to package the Pak it might be incompatible. Beyond that, I would guess it has something to do with the process required to make model swaps work which, like I said I'm not familiar with.

I've attached the versions of unrealpak l that I used just in case that was the problem.

Holy crap, it was the compression method. Just out of curiosity, I used the UnrealUnpak.bat to unpack the pak file I made and it put the files in the top directory (pakchunk999-HunterNicoHair_P). Then I recompressed it (the same way I did before) with the files you posted here and it works sure enough. What a weird glitch, or maybe I misread something in the tutorial. But what a good guess.

Would you mind compress your failed version pakchunk999-HunterNicoHair_P folder to rar or zip(not pak,I can't test it after compress to pak) and send it to me so I can check is there something missing in my tutorial?

Sorry, I don't have it any more. I think I followed your tutorial pretty well, considering. I am not sure what happened the first time I compressed it, because I had the exact same file structure, but the files I used that worked the second time I compressed them are the exact same files I compressed the first time. I unpacked the pak file and used those files the second time I compressed it and it worked. So, something happened in the compression process.

 

Firstly, I want to say that this is not meant to be overly negative. I was able to follow your tutorial and got a positive result in the end, but it was a bit hard to follow.

 

However, for the tutorial it's mostly little bits of information that is inconsistent or missing. It's all minor things, but ultimately made it take much longer to follow. For example, your second and third step have an incorrect file structure. You put "Go to Game/Character/Biped/HeroicFemale/Hunter_F/_Model/HAIR/Ponytail_Loose" which is close, but initially confusing.

 

In the third step you mention double clicking the asset to view it to make sure it's the right one, but the program opens a dialog box asking what version of UE4 the game uses. So I had to use trial and error to figure that out. But, later in the tutorial you eventually mention it. However, you never say 4.26 is the version of UE4.

 

So it's just like little tiny things that I had to work around and use trial and error to figure out because some small details were missing that would have made it go much quicker.

I really appreciate your tutorial though, it got me exactly what I wanted and I use all of your mods which are amazing. So don't take this negatively, I am just explaining my experience and what I struggled with.

I am not take it negatively.I am asking because you keep saying some information missing in my tutorial but you never mention what information is missing,I can’t help you or improve my tutorial without knowing it,that’s why I ask?.I don’t even realize I am missing “/Coda/“ in step two/three and the dialog box in step three until you told me.Now with your feedback I can fill the missing information in my tutorial.English is not my native language so if I say something that make you feel I am angry or upset about it,that will be a totally misunderstanding,and I am apologize about that.

No worries, we all appreciate your work a lot. I am far too lazy to write any sort of tutorial and the fact that you did it in your non native language is laudable. I think your information is correct besides the one link to unrealpak not working for me.

There are another member told me the download link of unrealpak doesn't work too but it's work for me so I don't know what's the problem with the link.I think I will just upload the tool to my post and leave the download source as well.Thanks for the feedback.

Put the pak file into your game install location\MidnightSuns\Content\Paks folder.

Does that prevent Steam Success ? (like the game being flagged has modified or not ?)

No,you don't need to worry about that.

Thanks again.

 

Any hope to remove the hood for Doctor Strange ? And maybe give him again a cape ?

Just tested. It looks like the placement of the ponytail might be off? The back of Nico's skull clips through the ponytail itself, so it looks like she's bald in the back around the base of the ponytail.

I'll see what I can do tonight about that. thanks for testing

Cool, yeah, sometimes people on the internet can get real touchy. I always feel like I'm walking on egg shells typing any form of critique. I've just gotten used to preempting it.

Loose Ponytail for Nico:

I did a Swap for the loose ponytail for Nico and it worked good on low res.

 

 

[sypher723]

I think the Long Pony tail is missing some other Pak to make it works perfectly.

 

because on the unmodel it looks good :

 

does anybody have any idea?

How difficult would it be to make Nico's shirt even more transparent? Or even remove the bra underneath? I've done some clothing mods in Sims 4, but never with this engine.

This hair shape simple not fit Nico head,it will involve mesh edit to fix the problem,but hair animation will lost after mesh edit which I don't know how to fix so only someone who has more knowledge on Unreal Engine modding can fix it.

Can someone use one of there mods to start a nexus page? Even one of the safe for work files. I feel you will get more people making mesh edits after seeing that mods are made for the game. I'd do it myself I just don't feel comfortable publishing someone else's mods and my own mods aren't for this game

Agreed. Being on Nexus will put more eyes on the game and attract more potential modders.

I hate to ask, but is there any chance of getting a body swap for the hunter, with Nico's instead? It's not clear to me whether that's doable without making a real mess but I figured I'd ask.
