Request: Granblue Fantasy: Relink

[YuharaYashin]

Oh wow, 30 people currently browsing this thread, even though it'll be a while before the first mod. Everyone (including me) is excited for this 🤣

[Galak7F]

Waiting ...

I don't know about this stuff enough to know about how models from different games, etc. would work. So if someone could explain to me my question in a very simple way, that would be much appreciated. 

 

How realistic or hard, or even possible, would it be to import Final Fantasy 7 Remake models into this game, for example? And before you ask, no, not Tifa. I'm probably in the minority that absolutely love Scarlet and would want to play as her haha...

99.9% impossible. Sorry about this sad news.
This is not Unreal Engine or Unity, where you can inject 3D models with very simple mods.

For this game, I expect at most mods of the level of NieR:Automata modding scene, if not better ,since the player base is actually HUGE, and many modders are looking for this game.

Also, the Chinese player base is twice as large as in the English-speaking world, so if anyone who knows Chinese can you please check their forum if there is any news on any mod?

No process up to now.

i feel like the chinese 3dmgame forum has been pretty slow about modding games recently. most of the mods i see there are taken from nexus or here. i dont know if thats because modders moved somewhere else or if its just english speaking communities are faster these days

If you now any sites, I can help look into it.

 

Any know anyone who is trying to mod this game, we have some trying to crack the game open but do we have anyone interested in doing anything when that process is done?

 

Edit: found a mod, sort of? mod from gamebanana does this require the game to be encrypted though? maybe not but its progress for modding side of things.

this mod uses a wrapper version of a program called Special K which is a general game improvement mod that also allows for texture replacements. it was used in some of the early days of genshin impact modding before being abandoned for 3dmigoto because it can ONLY do texture replacements. it cant do model replacements at all

could it be used to replace the environment textures or skins?

environment textures maybe. character skins almost certainly not. it seems like special k cant even access all of the game's textures anyway. i searched through the textures and couldnt find the ones for the actual characters.
not to mention that special k cant do anything with material settings either. trying to turn shorts into panties is just going to result in flesh colored shorts

Following this.

was more meaning anything Skin wise, like the weapons or costumes but anyways, this could help for those touch up mods some do, maybe make the area more 4K or 8K (or more pixelated if thats what you like more) visually?

If this works without the game crashing, this could be the start of some really wanted mods XD

Though might need an injector or something still?

if we can get the game to load loose files we might not need a reinjector. just a program that converts blender models back into the game format, but yeah theres definitely a few more steps that need to be done

am sure an injector is getting made, its only, what, the fourth day of trying to mod this so not expecting anything to be done already, though the modding community is surprisingly fast if the game has alot of interest.

If we can replace the black shorts with skin color, that would be a win in my book

Anyway, this dude is working on a Tool for the game to encrypt the files Nenkai/GBFRDataTools: WIP Tool for dealing with Granblue Fantasy: Relink archives. (github.com)

Seems that this had a update. 17% of the game is known already, might be a few days before its fully known.

But the link also mentions that data pack #2 is not accessible. So some parts of the game are not moddable at all

But data.2 is literally 0 bytes big, so that's not an issue at all.

yes, it is limited but did put it as an update, as I said, it might take a few days, some could try and mod what's there but most might wait for everything or at least most to be known.

There is a lot of potential here.

Couldnt have said it better myself!

• It is possible to run the game fully unpacked by removing data.i, however all game files need to be extracted in a data folder - requires the majority of game paths mapped out which is not the case yet.

So if i understand it right, the Archiv is just optional and stuff can easily get replaced? Big.
