What is the best version to play on a emulator? The one at GameBanana says it's a cobalt mod and I'm not sure how to make it work properly. (Tried putting the data folder into the romfs folder but it didn't work)

 

Give the version mirrored here a shot. GameBanana doesn't make previous versions available, but this is a recent version that should work without cobalt

I'd suggest you take out the model in my mod and edit base on that, cuz edit mesh normal and add details is almost like rework it over again, edit base on current model should be much faster.

I reckon you need the "new catalogue additions" folder from the BOAMO 2.1.0 mod. I haven't been able to test any of this on my switch and kinda assumed it worked the same way but here's a few things to try:

 

1.  put both the romfs and catalogue folder into another folder and leave that folder in contents\0100A6301214E000\.
2.  Edit: Just realised you could also try just putting the catalogue folder in the \0100A6301214E000\ folder alongside your romfs folder.
3.  put the "new catalogue additions" folder in the sd:/engage/mods/Battle Outfits and More Outfits Catalog/(toml files here) (taken from the instructions on the BOAMO page)
4.  try the BOAMO 2.0.1 based files below, you'll have some missing features from v2.1.0 but all the nudity and stuff is the same and it was from when the BOAMO mod was simpler and didn't have the new catalogue folder. If you end up using this I would delete the romfs and new catalogue folders you already have and use the romfs from this file. Then install the nude models you have over the top of it (Character and Emblem), this rar includes both the BOAMO 2.0.1 AND the appropriate nude swap files so don't install the BONA rar over it.

Sorry for the trouble with this, I really wish I could test this properly and give some more concrete advice but give this stuff a try and please let me know if/how it works.

 

This is probly a long shot but figured i'd ask, is it possible to change it so cutscene outfits aren't replaced but everythign else still is?

I'd do it myself if someone could tell me how, even ^^

It might be possible... not something I've ever looked into but I suppose it would be a case of modifying how boamo itself works. I'd probably start by comparing the boamo xml files with the equivalent vanilla game files to try and figure out exactly how boamo works but I don't know if that would lead anywhere useful or where I'd go from there until it was done. I expect someone better with xml edits could be of more use tbh.

Cutscene use the chara's default  job outfit., you can edit it in the AssetTable.xml

For example:

<Param Out="" PresetName="" Mode="2" Conditions="MPID_Etie;JID_アーチャー;" BodyModel="" DressModel="uBody_Msn0DF_c553"

This is Etie's Archer job，uBody_Msn0DF_c553 leads to the nude model（default is uBody_Bow0AF_c152），you can change it to other ones you like.

@ss8088 - Am I right in thinking this edit would change the model for all instances of the default job outfit though, not just in the cutscenes? I assumed the problem would be a bit more complicated tbh.

Yes you're right. It will effect all the scene that use default job outfit, such as cutscenes, supports., battle and class changing.

So far I have followed this thread, but i'm not that interested in nude mods tbqh, but I have seen these D02836115 mods and have been falling in love. Is there anywhere to find them all? I found some in the thread, but some I didn't, like that american bikini or the Lapis one. 

[FPSeph]

I've made an edit of Camilla's armor on blender using a little part of DistinctVariable's mod, here's the result:

 

I'm still figuring out how to import this model into the game though ?

I'm new to modding so are the tutorials on gamebanana good enough? Or is there a better way to import this into the game without having to download Unity?

[FPSeph]

 

Finally some progress, managed to import the model and rig correctly, my only question is about the textures, how to I put a custom texture into the game? Also which one of them do I need to edit to apply a metallic effect to certain parts of the model.

Also for some reason the outline is thick even though I exported the fbx in linear.

[Obligitury]

nice sexy camilla. Looking forward to seeing the other amiibo outfits get sexy too. Hope you find a solution to your current problem.

Is there a way to keep Goldmary's birthmark in the nude mod?

[DistinctVariable]

@FPSeph Hey, that looks great! If you want to dump or replace textures from a bundle you select the Texture2D asset in UABEA then click plugins -> export texture to dump or plugins -> edit texture to import/replace. The albedo texture contains the colour information, the normal texture contains "texture" lighting info eg. making it look like cloth/leather or adding bumps etc and the Multi texture contains info on a few parameters, one on each RGBA channel.

 

The main ones you want to deal with to get a metallic effect are the Red and Green channels on the multi texture, Red dictates how shiny the part of the texture is (more red is more shiny) and Green dictates how metallic the part of the texture is (more green is more metallic). The way I edit the multi is to decompose the image in GIMP to split the channels into 4 grayscale images and then paint the areas I want to be shiny metal with white on the R&G channels and then compose them back to a single image for import with UABEA.

 

If I wanted them to be 20% less shiny than max I would paint the R channel with a grey that's 80% of white instead of white, it seems to work linearly so it's pretty easy to adjust and get predictable results when working on the decomposed channels this way. This sort of question has come up before and I gave a more in depth explanation then so if you're still unsure I'd suggest checking older posts but I hope this helps.

 

I had a similar problem with the outlines and the simplest solution imo is to click on the Material asset in UABEA (usually MtSkin and MtDress) and click Edit Data, search for the "_OutlineScale" entry in this data and change it there (I usually use a 1 / 1.5 value but you can adjust it as you see fit). These values are independant from each other so you'll probably want to change it for all the relevant Materials. Remember that you'll need to save in the asset list screen and the starting screen much as you did when importing meshes for this to be saved to the bundle.

Thanks friend, this is really helpful, I'm honestly surprised by how much of a headache simply exchanging textures has been since there is literally no tutorial about it on gamebanana.

 

One question though, when I export the _Multi texture with UABEA all I get is a .png file with nothing on it, is that how it's supposed to look or am I doing something wrong?

[FPSeph]

 

Managed to fix the outline issue thanks to DistinctVariable's help, and replace the albedo texture. Also scaled the model down a bit since it was causing it to have a hole between the neck and head.

 

The only remaining issue is the "invisible shadow" of Camilla's belt, panties and cape, as you can see, they remain even though the models aren't there anymore, I'm wondereing if it's smothing to do with the _multi texture or something. ?

 

Anyway, quite satisfied with the result, when done I'll post the file for download. 

[FPSeph]

Can someone help me with exporting the multi texture? I've looked everywhere on the internet but couldn't find a single lead about this problem.

 

Basically when I export the multi texture I just get a black png, and when I open on photoshop I just get a transparent file with nothing on it.

 

Now I can't make any edit to the multi file because there is nothing on it, is there some kind of step that I'm missing? Here's the file below.

 

You can't see it? That's because there is nothing on it, it just exports this way. Here's how the image looks with the pc interface.

 

However in AssetStudio you can see the swizzled texture, although if I export it with Assetstudio I'll get the same result.

@FPSeph You're very welcome When it comes to the multi-texture they often display as a transparent because the Alpha channel is typically all black, so the image has the data on the other channels but the transparency is set to max everywhere when trying to view the complete image. If you split the channels you will see the relevant data from the RGB channels and can edit them there:

 

Spoiler

 

I took a look at the image you  posted and I think where you've gone wrong is you haven't saved the colour data for the texture when exporting from your image editing software & it's effectively just saved a transparent square. I know for GIMP there is a checkbox in the export menu ("Save color values from transparent pixels"):

 

 

I expect there's a similar option in photoshop so if you find this it will resolve the problem. The image will still look transparent but if you look at the channel data in your image software you'll see it now contains the data on the other channels.

 

When it comes to the unneccesary shadows you'll find these on the Blue channel on the multi-texture. Iirc they will be showing as a black area but it should stand out when you look at it at any rate, just change that to white or whatever colour matches the unshadowed skin areas on the texture and that should solve that.

Once again, much thanks, you're a lifesaver.

 

Thanks to DistinctVariable's help I've managed to finish the model, it's not perfect, there's still some mismatch on the neck but overall the result is quite good.

 

Anyway, I'll leave the mod here for anyone who wants to try, just remember that this mod uses Camilla's custom model from BOAMO so you'll need that as prerequisite (and of course beat her paralogue).

Hi all,

 

First let me say thank you all for your great work. The mods here look really great and I would love to use them.

 

I am playing the game on Steam Deck and since I updated the game version to 2.0 the old mod pack from ZeroFucksGiven doesnt work anymore.

 

So I  read through close to all of the pages here and I just can not comprehend how I can make it run on the Steam Deck (using Ryujinx).

 

First I need the 00_-_battle_outfits_and_more_outfits_234.7z4d

 

and then cobalt? https://github.com/Raytwo/Cobalt/releases/tag/v0.9.2

 

What do I have to do with cobalt?

 

I would like to have a basic nude mod (with normal proportions)

and I would like to use CharEditPack2 

Spoiler

 

 

Any guidance and help is super much appreciated.

 

[Tomopo923]

The mods in this thread aren't ready for Cobalt, I believe. 

They should work on the last pre-Cobalt version of BOAMO, which is 2.2.1, I believe. 

[FPSeph]

There's a version of BOAMO on page 40 that doesn't use cobalt, you can download it there.

[SinnMina]

I hope you don't mind me asking @kingkabachaba but would you be willing to tell me how you got it too work on the Steam deck? No matter what I do be it with or without mods Fire emblem Engage crashes on title screen and I have to hard reset or hard close the emulator and it's the ONLY game that crashes.
Pokemon and Zelda work on it which boggles me.

 

 

Edit: I should clarify that I have not been able to get any information on why it crashes other than "Get your Keys fix"

It would be possible but not as easy as you might hope/think. Currently the nude mods assign all characters the same nude body with the same textures. To have a nude with the birthmark the nude model would have to be injected into a different model bundle, replacing that model, then the birthmark could be copied/drawn into the albedo texture and this new nude model assigned to Goldmary in the assettable.xml. All of this would be fairly simple to achieve but a little time consuming, I just don't have the time to work on mods atm and I have a backlog of other stuff I intend to see finished before I start anything else.

 

@kingkabachaba I'm not really familiar with steam-deck or cobalt so I can't help you there but the model swaps shouldn't have any issues with the update and should work fine on their own by placing their folder in your ryujinx mods directory. You will need a version of BOAMO to be able to use alternative outfits in battle but I've only tested on and only support the pre-cobalt versions. I've got nothing against cobalt but I just don't need it and I don't want to complicate things so I choose not to use it.
