Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana

[amorrow28]

 

Here is a new version of my Ys8 mod, which no longer requires 3dmigoto!!!

 

Download here!

 

I truly had given up reverse-engineering the IT3 format, as my efforts last year earned me nothing but endless game crashes.  The brilliant folks over at the Kiseki Modding Discord gave me some key insights, however, which allowed me to start again and finally cross the finish line (well, the first finish line) and write a working set of tools.  (If you want to try using them, grab them here.)

 

The IT3 files are confirmed to work with Ys 8 NISA release for PC (Steam, Windows, 11/2022 version).  I imagine they will work for Steam Deck / Linux.  I suspect they will work for PS4, because the textures are already swizzled for PS4.  They probably also work for PS Vita.  Who knows, they might even work for Nintendo Switch.  None of that is tested or guaranteed, of course.

 

Enjoy!

I never expected Ys 8 to ever get native model replacement mods, this is incredible! This game came out in 2017 and it still gets great support from fans.

[amorrow28]

 

Here is a new mod for Ys VIII!  I made a bunch of costumes, which can be equipped as DLC.  There is a SFW version that omits the Dana/Laxia nudes, since the folks at Discord seem to want that.

 

Clarification: The full set has new nude models as equippable DLC costumes, and the SFW version does not.

 

Ys8NewCostumesAndNudes.7z

 

Ys8NewCostumesSFW.7z

 

Pretty much all the mods use @lakovic's amazing CS4 nude mod as a base for the body, which I adapted to this game with permission - huge thank you to lakovic!  I remain a fan of @coomi's work (which the original nude mod is based on), but I needed better skeletal rigging for these costumes so I remade Dana's and Laxia's nude mods to use as a base.  Because I had made those models, I went ahead and remade all the partially-nude outfits including all forms and included them as part of this mod.

 

The SFW version has the outfits above only, the NSFW version includes the following costumes as well:  *note that some forms are not equippable and must replace original files, see How to Use section*

 

 

How to use:

Quote

 

For the DLC, if you are using the NISA release from Steam, you will need to replace your ys8.exe with the included ys8.exe, or patch the file yourself (the hex codes are included in the README.txt file).  Copy all the files in the /dlc folder into the /dlc folder in your Ys 8 installation.  (Credit for the patch goes to the Ys8 DLC Unlocker mod!)

 

For Dana, there is a large portion of the game where she cannot equip costumes.  To see her nude there, replace the original files in /chr/pc with the provided files.  You can choose between partially-nude and fully nude.

 

 

NOTE: This mod does not include any NPCs.  Please use my original mod if you'd like the bottomless village; you just need the files in /chr/npc/.

 

My other Ys mods:

• Ys IX Monstrum Nox
• Ys X Nordics
• Ys Memories of Celceta

 

Enjoy!

Thanks @amorrow28 for bringing us such a wonderful mod. If you look at the previous posts, you can see that I also asked some questions. I wanted to make a mod about YS8, but I was too lazy and gave up halfway. Well, fortunately amorrow28 has always insisted on making innovative tools and brought new models to this game. Thank you to him

这是伊苏 VIII 的新模组！我制作了一堆服装，可以作为DLC来装备。 SFW 的版本省略了 Dana/Laxia 的裸体，因为 Discord 的人似乎想要这样。

几乎所有mod都使用@拉科维奇令人惊叹的CS4 裸体模组作为身体的基础，我在获得许可的情况下将其改编为这款游戏 - 非常感谢拉科维奇！我仍然是@coomi的作品（最初的裸体模组是基于它的），但我需要更好的骨骼装备来制作这些服装，所以我重新制作了 Dana 和 Laxia 的裸体模组作为基础。因为我已经制作了这些模型，所以我继续重新制作了所有部分裸体的服装，包括所有形式，并将它们作为此模组的一部分。

 

SFW版本只有以上服装，NSFW版本还包括以下服装：*注意，有些表格是不可装备的，必须替换原始文件，请参阅如何使用部分*

注意：此模组不包含任何 NPC。如果你想要无底村，请使用我的原创模组；你只需要 /chr/npc/ 中的文件。

 

享受！

The mod already includes both partial and full nudes for both Dana and Laxia as equippable DLC costumes. They are named “Revealing Costume” and “Birthday Suit,” which you activate from the DLC menu as usual. The non-DLC files are only needed for the part of the game that costumes cannot be equipped.

Costumes are not useable in Eternia.

EDIT: I have updated the original post to make this more clear.

Sorry, but I can't download the file "Ys8NewCostumesAndNudes.7z". It says 'This attachment is not available'. Is this a problem with my browser or has the file been removed?

Bonjour, désolé de vous déranger à nouveau.

Comme mentionné ci-dessus, je ne semble pas voir le mod nu de Ricotta dans Ys8NewCostumesAndNudes.7z. Cependant, il existe deux de ses costumes NSF, et les mods de Laxia sont tous là (y compris les mods nus). Si j'ai raté quelque chose, je m'en excuse.

 

Is it really worth replying? 🤔

[SirDoge]

For some reason when I turn on the mod some creatures like the small crabs on the beach ,they get glitched,like they become a big moving texture..anyone else getting this ? I'm using the 3dmigoto version.

[joshua0815]

Hi, since Ys X is now around the corner I thought it is time to catch up with the series and am now playing this game so I am not three games behind 😉

 

First I want to thank everyone involved making these mods for Ys 8, having played mainly the Trails series over the last years, which is how I found this community here, I am kind of getting used to playing the more modern Falcom games this way and was surprised and relieved to find out that even for this game people here invested their time into some mods, so thanks a lot 🙂👍

 

I am also using the 3dmigoto version as the person in the post before and it worked mostly fine in the first two chapters. Sometimes enemies (the little frogs in caves for example) or interestingly some fish you catch are invisible, but this was not such a big problem since I could just turn the mod off via F2 if necessary. However this main issue is now, that deactivating the mod via F2 sometime during chapter 3 doesn‘t work anymore, it might have been around the time you control Dana the first time. This is actually becoming a problem, since I can‘t make enemies reappear that became invisible with this mod 🙁

 

So I wonder if this is a known issue and maybe there is a fix for this?

Pressing F2 to turn *off* the mod should always work. It worked for me the entire game. You may want to reinstall the game and the mod.

 

Really though, 3dmigoto is very suboptimal unless you have a very specific need to use it. I recommend the IT3 version for 99% of users.

[T4com4n]

Does anyone know how to get the DLC .it3 files from the game to mod(Pirate, Swimsuit, etc)? I downloaded the Outfit Unlocker Mod but I can't find/don't know how to remove them.

 

I made a Goth Laxia from her Pretty Girl outfit for anyone who's interested. I set it in her secondary costume because it I never liked what the game gave you, also it janks up amorrow's 3DM mod for those who still prefer to use it.

Enjoy!

 

I know I’m late to the party, but I’d like to confirm that this actually works on the Nintendo Switch!

 

I tried a lot of different ways to port mods for this game over to Switch, and most of them ended in disaster.

 

After days of trial and error, I was honestly close to giving up.. but I kept thinking about that one line from this post:

 

“Who knows, they might even work for Nintendo Switch.”

 

So for my last attempt, I tried porting @amorrow28’s mod as-is directly to the Switch and… lo and behold, it worked!!

 

 

@amorrow28's Godlike skills transcend time. 🙏 (Post was 2 years ago)

 

When it finally loaded on the Switch, the first word that came to mind was: BEAUTIFUL.

It genuinely looks like a piece of art, and suddenly all those hours of failed tests felt worth it.

 

Now, in order for this to work on Switch, you need to dump the game’s data.dat file using DBI or nxdumptool.

 

The developers wrapped the whole friggin’ game on the switch into one giant 15GB .dat file!! and yes, you have to extract and repack that entire thing.

 

The basic process is:

Extract data.dat using QuickBMS with fafullfs.bms, replace the target .it3 files inside chr/pc/, then reimport them back into data.dat using QuickBMS reimport2 mode. After that, place the modified data.dat in the Switch LayeredFS path.

 

It is a huge pain and takes a lot of patience. Each attempt can takes hours including repacking and transferring the file back to the Switch.

 

And if your SD card is formatted as FAT32, you won’t be able to transfer files over 4GB in one go using MTP responder. The workaround I used was DBI’s FTP server with FileZilla, which added roughly another hour just for the transfer. MTP might be easier if you’re using exFAT.

 

Now… is doubling the size of the game worth it just to install these mods?

 

I say yes!! That’s why we’re here reading this. lol. And you really can’t go wrong with the work of art applied to these mods.

What a journey!! :))

 

I talked too much, but this is my hardest and BIGGEST port yet. Literally.

 

Before I repack another 15GB file, I’d like to collect as many compatible .it3 mod files as possible for the other characters.

 

If anyone has more Ys VIII .it3 mods, please share them so I can hopefully make one final repack containing all the mods ported over to Switch.

 

Many thanks to @amorrow28 for his awesome work!! Praise be. 🙏

I’m glad you got it to work! It looks like you used my older mods, I also have newer nudes and costumes here. (My newer mod supports equippable costumes that are redeemed via custom DLC. You can use both the older and newer mods at the same time, since I didn’t make any new mods for the NPCs.) There’s also some stuff on nexus I believe.

 

Enjoy the game, it’s one of my all-time favorites. The reverse engineering I had to do (with help) still gives me PTSD but it was worth it.

About the newer DLC-based mods.. I actually tried those as well, but I ran into a few issues on the Switch version.

When I compared the dumped Switch files, the DLC folder paths from your newer mod pack don’t seem to exist in the Switch dump. They may either not be available on Switch, or they may have been renamed/restructured. I also checked that my game/DLCs were fully up to date, and I do have all the available DLCs installed, but those exact folders from your pack still weren’t present in the dump.

For example, one of my dumped Switch DLC folders looks like this:

dlc\ys08jpdlc00n0044\data\en
dlc\ys08jpdlc00n0044\data\fr
dlc\ys08jpdlc00n0044\data\ja
dlc\ys08jpdlc00n0044\data\dlc.xai
dlc\ys08jpdlc00n0044\data\init.txt
dlc\ys08jpdlc00n0044\data\asset_original_data

Inside asset_original_data, there are also additional files/folders like:

asset_original_data\chr
asset_original_data\script
asset_original_data\text
asset_original_data\dlc.xas
asset_original_data\dlc_xai_create.bat

Meanwhile, your newer DLC mod structure looks more like:

dlc\ys08jpdlc00n0037\en
dlc\ys08jpdlc00n0037\fr
dlc\ys08jpdlc00n0037\ja
dlc\ys08jpdlc00n0037\dlc.xai

I also tried repacking it and adding an extra data folder to match the Switch dump structure, like this:

dlc\ys08jpdlc00n0037\data\en
dlc\ys08jpdlc00n0037\data\fr
dlc\ys08jpdlc00n0037\data\ja
dlc\ys08jpdlc00n0037\data\dlc.xai

The game still loads, but the nude mods no longer appear. My guess is that they may have been added as DLC costumes somewhere, but I don’t know where/how to claim or equip them on Switch. I checked the in-game DLC menu, but it says everything has already been claimed.

The guide also mentions replacing/patching the .exe for Steam/pc, but I’m not sure if there’s an equivalent approach for the Switch version.

So for now, the older direct .it3 replacement mods worked perfectly once injected into the Switch data.dat, but I haven’t figured out how to get the newer DLC-based costume system working on Switch yet.

The good news is the older direct .it3 replacement mods work perfectly on Switch once injected into data.dat, so at least we know the Switch version can load the PC .it3 mods as-is.

If you have any idea how the DLC folders or costume unlocks might map on the Switch version, I’d really appreciate any pointers.

Oof, that’s unfortunate. It took me days of messing with a hex editor to get dlc working, so if it’s different then I don’t know if it’s worth the effort.

 

The good news is that you can just extract and rename any of the it3 files you want to. I would try the newer nudes as well for Dana and Laxia. I had a lot more experience at that point; the sculpting, weight painting and seams are much better.

Could you recommend which of the newer DLC nude mods would be the best ones to use for Dana and Laxia? I’ll use those to replace their default costumes directly instead.

 

Not 100% sure, but it looks like those two are the main characters with updated mods aside from the NPCs.

 

Thank you again!
