Popular Post amorrow28 Posted December 10, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 10, 2022 (edited)  I made a basic* mod for Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana (tested with the Steam release) using 3DMigoto. Ys VIII is a Falcom game, from the same folks who make the amazing Legend of Heroes (Eiyuu Densetsu, aka Trails / Kiseki) games. All the mods are ported from @coomi’s mods, huge thank you to coomi!  UPDATED VERSION 1.1 HERE, available in either native IT3 format or 3dmigoto format - https://www.loverslab.com/topic/201999-ys-viii-lacrimosa-of-dana/?do=findComment&comment=3966339  Ys8_Mod_1.0_with_3Dmigoto_1_3_16.7z - OBSOLETE  Put all the files in the same folder as ys8.exe. F1 for help, F2 to turn costume mods on and off.  *This is full nude mod for Dana and Laxia only. The castaway village is now the bottomless village (partial nude), mostly because I'm lazy. Laxia has a bottomless version to match the villagers (press F6 to toggle) and Dana has version with her ribbons etc on top of her nude body (press F5 to toggle).  If you have controller issues, try:  1. Disabling Steam Overlay  Spoiler  2. Disabling Steam Input  Spoiler  Notes: Spoiler This game is a nightmare to mod. First, the way the game uses GPU buffers is very strange, with lots of extra semantics (and VEC4 position / normals) that will not load properly into Blender. I managed to come up with a workaround, but lots of manual scripting / hex editing was needed to finish the mods. I really thought this game used the same engine as Cold Steel, but it's different - it doesn't even use the same coordinate system.  Luckily I was able to make full nudes for Laxia and Dana, who are the only playable women anyway, as they had meshes with access to enough of the skeleton that had skin shaders. The skeleton is also very different from the trails games with a very different bind pose, making porting very difficult to get decent looking bodies because they distort a lot. I spent hours on just the fingers! They no longer look like a gangster just crushed them, but they do not look great.  Finally, the animations in this game are not very good, especially for Laxia. It might seem like I did a bad job with the elbows for example, but if you look at her regular outfit, the same distortions are there, just hidden by cloth. I think it's because these models are missing elbow joints (similar to CS1), they just fold the arm and forearm together, something they fixed in CS3.  Anyway, since it took me so long to do Laxia and Dana, I made a decision not to mod NPCs at all. But then I realized that I could do bottomless mods in less than half the time (more like 25% of the time and effort of full nude). This worked out well, because unlike the Trails games, the NPCs have a different buffer build compared to the PCs, and it is not possible to get good looking nudes for them anyway. They don't have skin shaders at all; I do not know how the game engine is deciding to apply materials, so I made a lot of compromises to get most of them bottomless. Also most of the villagers did not have access to enough weight groups for full nudes anyway. One doesn't even have a submesh with skin and good weight groups at all, I had to build her mod from a skirt mesh. It looks like she is wearing pantyhose.  Finally, I know some will complain about 3DMigoto. There are no repack tools for this game engine, however, and even the unpack tools are very unfinished (although mostly accurate). As of right now, 3DMigoto is the only way I know of to mod this game.  My other Falcom mods: Spoiler Ys 9: https://www.loverslab.com/topic/221518-ys-ix-monstrum-nox/ CS1: https://www.loverslab.com/topic/197070-trails-of-cold-steel-1-and-2-mods/?do=findComment&comment=3865635 CS2: https://www.loverslab.com/topic/197070-trails-of-cold-steel-1-and-2-mods/?do=findComment&comment=3873285 CS3: https://www.loverslab.com/topic/141087-trails-of-cold-steel-3-mod-request/?do=findComment&comment=3739497 CS4: https://www.loverslab.com/topic/166239-trails-of-cold-steel-4-mod-request/?do=findComment&comment=3734745 Trails into Reverie: https://www.loverslab.com/topic/214803-trails-into-reverie-nis-america-english-language-release/?do=findComment&comment=4133803 Hajimari no Kiseki: https://www.loverslab.com/topic/175040-hajimari-no-kiseki-mods/?do=findComment&comment=3743322 Kuro no Kiseki: https://www.loverslab.com/topic/194614-kuro-no-kiseki-mod/?do=findComment&comment=3854533 Kuro no Kiseki 2: https://www.loverslab.com/topic/204513-kuro-no-kiseki-2-mod/?do=findComment&comment=3989501 Tokyo Xanadu eX+: https://www.loverslab.com/topic/191860-tokyo-xanadu-ex-mods/  Enjoy!

amorrow28 Posted December 11, 2022 Author Share Posted December 11, 2022 (edited) Index of my tutorials over on the CS4 thread for those new to modding:  Hide contents My first post linking to Fairy Tail mod video and how I adapted for CS4: https://www.loverslab.com/topic/166239-trails-of-cold-steel-4-mod-request/?do=findComment&comment=3730952 How to edit existing mods (and how to setup Blender): https://www.loverslab.com/topic/166239-trails-of-cold-steel-4-mod-request/?do=findComment&comment=3757792 How to get a model into Blender (basic modding part 1): https://www.loverslab.com/topic/166239-trails-of-cold-steel-4-mod-request/?do=findComment&comment=3767886 How to get a mod back into the game (basic modding part 2): https://www.loverslab.com/topic/166239-trails-of-cold-steel-4-mod-request/?do=findComment&comment=3771501 How to work with textures in CS4: https://www.loverslab.com/topic/166239-trails-of-cold-steel-4-mod-request/?do=findComment&comment=3779614 How to work with weights: https://www.loverslab.com/topic/166239-trails-of-cold-steel-4-mod-request/?do=findComment&comment=3786873   Here is a script for parsing the 3DMigoto output for anyone who wants to mod this game. Latest version is always at my GitHub.  Upload replaced 8/27/23.  Ys8_FrameDumpTool.zip   How to use:  Quote  Put vb_ys8dump.py and lib_fmtibvb.py in your frame dump folder and run vb_ys8dump.py. It will go through all the files and attempt to convert the output into files that can be imported into Blender. Everything will be deposited into the output folder. It will output raw buffers (.ib/.vb/.fmt), NOT frame analysis dump files (.txt), so be sure to choose raw buffers when importing. You also need a modified version of DarkStarSword's amazing Blender plugin that allows for Vec4 position and normal data (included in the attached download).  If you're not familiar with using Blender and 3DMigoto, please see my prior tutorials. You can start here. (Where it says to use vb_merge.py, use vb_ys8dump.py instead. Where it says to import frame analysis dump, import raw buffers instead.) When importing the buffers, change the orientation to Y-forward, Z-up.  When importing back into the game, the .ib/.vb files can be used directly and do not need to be split like Cold Steel. Just make an .ini file with VB stride of 88 and IB format of R32_UINT, like this:  [Resource_Model_MyMod_VB] type = Buffer stride = 88 filename = MyMod.vb [Resource_Model_MyMod_IB] type = Buffer format = R32_UINT filename = MyMod.ib [ResourceReplaceTextureMyMod00] filename = MyMod.dds [TextureOverride_MyMod] hash = xxxxxxxx ps-t0 = ResourceReplaceTextureMyMod00 vb0 = Resource_Model_MyMod_VB ib = Resource_Model_MyMod_IB handling = skip drawindexed = auto  For texture replacement, Ys VIII uses DXT10 format (BC7 UNORM, no mipmaps). If you are using Paint.NET, set your DDS export to match this:      EDIT: If you would like VGMaps and a skeleton to bind to, I have some tools at my GitHub. I was hoping to make and import/export tool but the game crashes with my import tool, so I am giving up on that project for now. But the exporter works fine for obtaining vgmaps and skeleton which can be used for 3DMigoto modding, see my tutorial here in the Kuro no Kiseki thread.  Enjoy! As always, if you create something you like, I hope you share!

Goraikou Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Congrats for making the first nude mod for an Ys game! lol  It was about time somebody tackled this Falcom series considering how much Trails was getting, so better late than never. Btw, I hope you plan on doing the same for Ys IX, it uses the same engine as Ys VIII (an internal engine named Yamaneko) but the PC port is a lot more polished, so it might be easier? Link to comment
amorrow28 Posted December 18, 2022 Author Share Posted December 18, 2022 (edited) I have no current plans for Ys IX and I do not take requests, I only mod games I am currently playing. I’m not even done with this game, I’m still at the start of chapter 5. I’ll eventually release an update, since I released this mod when I was still in chapter 2.  Having said that, it’s a reasonable bet that I’ll play and mod Ys9 eventually… I’ve modded CS1-4, Hajimari, Kuro, Tokyo Xanadu and Ys8 after all. ?  EDIT: My Ys IX mod is here.

Take your time, the games are great! Also in case you didn't know, the PS Vita, Switch, and PS5 versions of Ys VIII have lots of costumes for the characters that never made it to the PC version.  Spoiler  Fortunately, someone made a mod that puts back all of them (except for 2 that are still exclusive to PS5) to the PC version so try it out if you're interested, and maybe it can inspire people to make mods around these costumes.

amorrow28 Posted December 31, 2022 Author Share Posted December 31, 2022 (edited)  Free camera for Ys8! This is for the NISA North American release (Steam, Nov 2022 update). Thanks as always to Cyber for the original free camera movement algorithm.  New version 1.1 here: https://www.loverslab.com/topic/201999-ys-viii-lacrimosa-of-dana/?do=findComment&comment=3990406  Ys8_Free_Camera.CT - OBSOLETE  Features: Force Pause Animation - Insert key to turn on, Delete key to turn off - this completely pauses the game! Check the box before trying to use. As currently implemented, free camera cannot be activated while the game is paused. Hide HUD/Minimap Unlock tilt Set Custom Camera Distance (FOV) - Home key to zoom in, end key to zoom out. Check the box before trying to use Free Camera - press NumPad 0 to activate. See instructions below on how to navigate. Does not work during force pause or cutscenes. Camera coordinates - mostly informational. How to use:  Quote These are cheat tables for use with Cheat Engine (link). Cheat engine comes with a bunch of garbage apps, please read VERY CAREFULLY when installing and do not install the extra apps! (You can also get cheat engine without adware via Dark Byte's Patreon, or by building CE yourself from source code using Lazarus.) If you've never used Cheat Engine, I put basic instructions on loading a table here in the Kuro no Kiseki thread.  Free Camera Controls: Hotkey : Num 0 (Toggle On/Off)  Num 8 : Forward Num 5 : Backward Num 4 : Left Num 6 : Right Num - : Up Num + : Down  Arrow Up : Tilt Up Arrow Down : Tilt Down Arrow Right : Pan Left Arrow Left : Pan Right  F1 : Decrease Camera Speed (Press and Hold) F2 : Double Camera Speed (Press and Hold) F3 : Quadruple Camera Speed (Press and Hold)   Some notes: Spoiler Sorry, it's not fully complete, and probably never will be complete. The engine is a little finicky and refuses to cooperate with me. Also, I'm just not as motivated to work on this, I'd rather play the game... But it works well enough that I thought I'd release it. The arrow keys don't work properly (left key pans right and right key pans left), but when I assign them correctly, pan locks for some reason. The mouse works fine to look around though. Also, I couldn't figure out a way to release the camera during force pause without also unpausing the game.  Here are all my other free camera scripts: Trails of Cold Steel (CS) 1, CS2, CS3, Hajimari no Kiseki, Kuro no Kiseki, Kuro no Kiseki 2, Tokyo Xanadu eX+, Atelier Ryza, Atelier Ryza 2. I also made a MinZ (*cough* upskirt) script for CS4.  Enjoy!

Popular Post amorrow28 Posted January 7, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 7, 2023 (edited)  As promised, here is an update to my mod for Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana (tested with the Steam release) using 3DMigoto. It's a small update, with Dana's Gratika and Luminous forms, Nia's alt, and the final castaway.  4/16/24 UPDATE: An IT3 version is now available!  Ys8_Mod_1.1_with_3Dmigoto_1_3_16.7z  Ys8_Mod_1.1_IT3_version.7z  There are now two versions, one that provides modified IT3 files for the game engine, and one that uses 3DMigoto to modify the GPU assets in real time. Most players should use the IT3 files. You do not need both. Advantages of the IT3 file version: Easiest install No hash collisions leading to unintentional costume modification (one costume mod affecting an unrelated character's / monster's model etc) Support for Steam Deck / Linux (and probably PS4, and possibly PS Vita and Nintendo Switch, all untested) Unaffected by Steam Overlay and Steam Input.  Advantages of the 3DMigoto version: Mod can be turned on and off at the tap of a button (Press F2 to turn on and off, F1 for help) Dana and Laxia can be changed at the tap of a button. F5 changes Dana between fully nude and partially clothed, and F6 changes Laxia between fully nude and bottomless. The castaway village remains the bottomless village (partial nude). No files in the game install are overwritten  How to use: Download the version of your choice, and copy the files into your Ys VIII Lacrimosa of Dana folder. The default location is {Steam}\steamapps\common\Ys VIII Lacrimosa of Dana if you have the Steam version of the game. For the IT3 version of the game only: if you want to use the fully nude version of Dana and Laxia, overwrite the default modded IT3 files with the provided alternates.   Hide contents  For those using 3DMigoto: (instructions for gamepad problems)  Quote  If your controller doesn't work with 3DMigoto, try:  1. Disable Steam Overlay   Hide contents  2. Disable Steam Input   Hide contents    Notes: Spoiler There are a TON of hash collisions in this game, and all sorts of textures are missing, etc, because so many objects in the game share hashes. I did my best to avoid the worst; in one example if I had to choose between one monster missing half its body or a key NPC missing her head - I chose the monster to be broken. This is a limitation of 3DMigoto. I looked a little into building an unpack/repack tool, but I just didn't have the motivation to research and write one. Honestly this is one of my lazier mods, I know, but I couldn't stop playing the game enough to work on modding it. This game is truly amazing, and if you haven't played this game, you definitely owe it to yourself to play it!  Update: Obviously I ended up writing the unpack/repack tool. Huge thank you to the folks on the Kiseki Modding Discord for helping me tackle the IT3 format!  Spoiler Dana forever!   Enjoy!

amorrow28 Posted February 3, 2023 Author Share Posted February 3, 2023 (edited)  Here is an update to the camera script! (EDIT: Upload replaced for small bug fix with force pause.)  Ys8_Free_Camera_1.1.1.CT  New features: Free camera can now be used in cutscenes, and while forced pause is active How to use:  Quote These are cheat tables for use with Cheat Engine (link). Cheat engine comes with a bunch of garbage apps, please read VERY CAREFULLY when installing and do not install the extra apps! (You can also get cheat engine without adware via Dark Byte's Patreon, or by building CE yourself from source code using Lazarus.) If you've never used Cheat Engine, I put basic instructions on loading a table here in the Kuro no Kiseki thread.  Features: Force Pause Animation - Insert key to turn on, Delete key to turn off - this completely pauses the game!

And as always, massive thanks to @amorrow28 for being a fucking wizard and bringing all these scripts for us for free and @coomi for the nude models that just keep on giving. Anyway, without further ado:  YScreens - Lacrimosa of DANA.rar  If you're hungry for more Falcom waifus, check out my albums for Cold Steel 3, Cold Steel 4 and Hajimari!
