WilhelmE Posted January 2, 2023 Posted January 2, 2023 Sorry, if this was already brought up, bat search gave me nothing so... I reinstalled the game after getting a new PC and installed Hook5 (old PC was not able to support Hook5), putting stuff in ActiveMod and Binaries as instructed. Added skins to hook5 data folder. And I see really no difference in how models look like. Am I missing something?
OysterMug Posted January 2, 2023 Posted January 2, 2023 Surest way to know if Hook is working is to load any room & hit the F4 key for the Hook menu. No menu? Hook isn't running. Most obvious first thing to check is that you launched VX in DX mode not OpenGL.
WilhelmE Posted January 2, 2023 Author Posted January 2, 2023 (edited) I do run the game in DX, and yes, there is H5 menu if I hit F4. The point is that all textures (like skins, etc.) stay the same as before. So I wonder if I am supposed to do something else (like changing my mainfx file or uploading skins inti models files. I mean how do I get higher quality and more detailed models and clothes? UPD So I installed Hook 5 Extanded and UniversalSkin mod, but the problem is that Hook Gui doesn't see any active skins no matter what I do. I did cuxtomize SkinDefinition file so that all paths are correct, but still in vain (( Hook simply doesn't catch skins ((( Edited January 3, 2023 by WilhelmE
OysterMug Posted January 3, 2023 Posted January 3, 2023 I personally never used H5 "active skins" and never got them to work (though others have tried to show me how.) So I can't be much help there. But note that simply having H5 installed doesn't automatically make skins look any different.
WilhelmE Posted January 3, 2023 Author Posted January 3, 2023 But is there a way to apply skins in other way? Or am I doomed to old, notsorealistic ones? ))
OysterMug Posted January 4, 2023 Posted January 4, 2023 I tried to find the thread where it was explained to me, but the search function here leaves a LOT to be desired. I'll keep looking.
WilhelmE Posted January 7, 2023 Author Posted January 7, 2023 It sseems like I figured it out )) But thx anyway!
WilhelmE Posted January 9, 2023 Author Posted January 9, 2023 By the way, where should I put Hook5 files for clothes? Are they going into _hook5data, or some other place (like corresponding clothes folder, for example)?

It's a universal graphics mod that affects the appearance of ALL textures (as well as add a few special effects.) All Hook files go in the "Binaries" folder. Be sure to read the Minimum Files text file in the archive for proper placement of all files.
Clara Cox Posted January 11, 2023 Posted January 11, 2023 I think I installed everything correctly for hook5. Why game crush? Logs.7z
OysterMug Posted January 12, 2023 Posted January 12, 2023 (edited) Unfortunately, the "Logs" only record problems with TK17. It doesn't show if there are problems with your Hook installation. To diagnose the problem, I need more information: Version of TK17 Version of Hook (I assume this is 5?) OS List of Hook files & support packages you installed and where. First, rule out other causes by running in OpenGL mode. If TK17 only crashes in DirectX mode, remove all Hook files and try again. If the crashing goes away, I recommend users test Hook by using the old/"free" Basic version of Hook 5 (which is easier to install.) Once you have 2019 Hook5 Basic working, then we can proceed with getting H5 Unlocked working. Edited January 12, 2023 by OysterMug
