[REQUEST] Spirit City: Lofi Sessions

This "game" just came out today. I say game in quotes because it's really just a thing to have open in the background or on a second monitor. It's just a gamified "Lofi beats to relax/study to" where a cute girl hangs out and does the thing while you do other stuff. The character is fully customizable and at best can be barefoot in shorts. No revealing tops.

 

It runs on UE and theoretically shouldn't be hard to mod. Maybe someone would be interested in giving it a shot? I just like the idea of having a cute girl hang out and do stuff in the nude on my second monitor haha.

I like the way you think brother. We need to find out what version of UE it runs on to see how viable it might be to mod.

UE 5.3.2

Yup, got it and extracted a character model. I'll see what I can cook up.

I was thinking of grabbing this game! I usually have something up on a side monitor while working anyway, and this seems like a great game to have for it!

 

Edit: Bought it on steam, it's pretty neat and I think it will be a great side companion to have...

Would love if there were some skimpy clothes / hotter models though

Thought this would be a dumb meme game but it's actually a neat tool and it came with a lot of good lofi tracks.

no pressure to go deep into it but how? I ain't a modder myself tbh but I like studying how games are modeled but so far the only way I've been able to extract models is ninjaripper however those don't have any UV maps

Yes, there is a huge issue with the fact that I have no current version of umodel which can extract the texture files for the models. Without texture files I cannot UV map the models accurately, but I am searching for a modified version of umodel which might work with UE5.3. Worst case scenario I can always make my own materials and textures, but at the cost of skin color customization. I still have a lot of research to do but the modified mesh parts are finished at least.

aaah we're having the same issue with UV's then I feel ya. Idk if the attachment works but I' ve been able to atleast get texture files using ninjaripper for the DDS, noesis to see what they are and then opening them in blender to make png's out of it to open in image software, I know photoshop can open DDS and edit it's RGBA channels but I stopped shilling adobe so that's why I used blender to unDDS them. I'm totally unfamiliar with modding though but if it helps I could provide you a layered format of that attachment

The modified umodel that I use is able to export models with the UV mapping intact, good to know that I can use ninjaripper to extract the textures. I'm going to spoof a lot of materials so that the game will allow color changes but I needed the textures so that I could add color to the nipples/genital areas. If you want to take a crack at it as well I could share the modified umodel 5.2 that I use to extract models.

 

As for the texture format I almost always convert them to PNG in GIMP and edit them in another art software. Typically as I have found, developers don't always need mipmap layers and I especially don't think a game like Lofi needs them. If they turn out to be important I would get to that later.

Also here is a shot of the prototype modified mesh. Have to get it in the game to see what it does as each part could only move a certain part of the skeleton. If one outfit part moves the entire skeleton we can do one whole mesh as a top outfit part. Then we could make the bottom outfit part invisible. All of this is just theoretical at this point, that's the reason the mesh is split in two. Ignore the head as it is only there for reference.

oh if you're able to share that version of Umodel that would be very much appreciated! and glad to have helped you out with the texture issue

@seafrnk Here is the umodel version, you want to select unreal 4 in the version selection, then select unreal 5.2 on the specific version dropdown tab. The game runs on 5.3 but for whatever reason, the model extraction works fine on 5.2. You also want to place the contents of the umodel folder into the same folder where the model you want to extract is.

 

Sorry my progress on this game has been very slow, I have been very busy with work. I'm not sure who to credit for this umodel modification.

You're an absolute saint! and take your time with the modding Wish I was more familiar with modding myself to help out haha, I just study reverse engineer games in my offtime

[Hi-Fi-Flush]

Any updates on this?

[FFT_DarkKnight]

I'd like an update too. I just seen it got updated and reminded me about this.

[Hi-Fi-Flush]

Looks like this is toast.

No, he just didn't also post here. Instead he posted just on mine. Take a look. https://www.loverslab.com/topic/229137-request-spirit-city-lofi-sessions/
