i notice Chisa old mods patched with stabletexture have much less breaking than others

so even if engine.ini is locked down for good with enough time and dedication people can do the same patch for all other characters

right?

it only fixes textures (you can "fix" it by "just" using ultra lod setting in the game) but not meshes at distance

If that makes sense, they (Kuro) are going to try to optimize their game however they see fit, and they don't care if a modder has to spend three weeks trying to fix a single mod. Maybe it's like you say: modding for Wuwa isn't going to disappear, it'll just mean modders have to work four times as hard to fix a single mod.

I think that, in the long run, if it becomes too complicated for them (Wuwa modders) to make “Mod Skins” for the game, then they’ll simply give up on Wuwa modding.

Let’s hope that doesn’t happen. Good luck fixing your mods—I hope you don’t have to work too hard to repair them.

 

At the end of the day, the kuro development team has no obligation to create a moddable platform, we are able to as they did not put strict restrictions to deny us from doing so... yet at least. It is their IP after all, modding is a gray area, do not mistake it for being allowed, they just choose not to do anything about it as of now. If modding dies, it kinda is an it is what it is situation, the forum is 730 pages long, but make no mistake in thinking that we are a sizable portion to the playerbase, we are but a fraction. I hope it doesn't but yeah, can only hope lol.

what you said makes no sense, mods do generate money for wuwa i and a lot of friends swipe t get the character because of its mods i bought skins just because oof the moods s i dont miss out on them, i never missed a single month without lunite just to make sure i will get thee character i want and the vast majority oof my pulls were because the mods i saw of them and a lt of people are like this so yea modding is making the game more successful

 

As to your dead game theory, make no mistake you may have a lot of friends, but compared to the playerbase of wuthering, we are but a fraction, you put it on a graph, you will not be able to see us. You remove the players that play solely for mods, it'd just be forgotten in a report somewhere. Trust, you overestimate the amount of modders in a game. Most people either are too scared, don't know how, or just lazy to mod. This applies to every game, not only wuthering waves. I know you might see 730 pages and think we're tough shit, but wuwa can actually nuke mods tmr, put all their files on cloud, we play through a connection through it, and profits wouldn't have a significant impact for them to care in the slightest.

 

Like, it'd be a shittier experience, but I'll still play the game is my experience personally. But I do get where you're coming from, I used to like Nikke, but the gameplay was becoming more and more of a drag, the only thing good was the story, and the mods. But when mods were becoming increasingly impossible, I decided to quit the game. But like, I don't expect because I quit, the company will collapse or anything, in fact they are collapsing for another entirely unrelated reason lol.

I might very fkin wrong on this, but didn't Kanou Sakura got sued by Hoyoverse or something? Again, this came outta my ass off of something I read very briefly. So like kinda no I guess lol.

This content was posted from KanouSakura’s personal account. During the Chinese New Year, he was arrested by Mihoyo’s lawyers, accompanied by police, and sent to prison. We do not know what agreement he reached while inside, but after his release, he deleted all his mod works and withdrew from the modding community.

He was creating mods for both miHoYo and Kuro Games, but was ultimately shut down by miHoYo. If you think Kuro is maliciously targeting modders, then take a look at what true malice really looks like.

 

 

Oh shit, I wasn't speculating then, wtf. Ok but it's China, they give no fucks about this, kinda like Japan afaik. But holy shit, they be cracking down like trying to stop crackers of Denuvo wtf. The gacha version of Nintendo I guess, decent games, shitty company. I played all 4, stopped all 4 lol, not anything political tho, just fell out of interest even with mods.

[IncogACC]

This is 2.8 all over again, UI mods got fucked by a bunch of texture assets being assigned to dynamic atlas' instead of static textures, so several UI assets just became unmoddable.

3.0 reverted this change for some reason, so there's a chance they'll go back to static atlas' next patch, but who knows.

 

For now, I'll keep an archive of everything pre-break and just fix what can be fixed, but a heads up that a bunch of the UI mods I do repair will be missing a good few pieces after this.

[Reaquainer]

Can't we just lock ini files to be readable only so the lines can't be removed, or any other to prevent file from being modified?

To all friends who have been following this matter and who care about me:

    Regarding the statements I made and my actions in the past, I failed to express myself with sufficient seriousness and sincerity, and did not fully demonstrate a willingness to confront the issues head-on. Today, I wish to offer my deepest apologies and reflect on my actions with the utmost sincerity.

    First and foremost, I would like to extend my most sincere apologies to miHoYo and the *Zero District* development team.
Without permission, I used *Zero District* game assets to create a mod and uploaded it to a public platform. This action constitutes a serious infringement of miHoYo’s legitimate copyright. Regardless of my initial intentions, such conduct—which crosses legal boundaries and infringes upon the legitimate rights and interests of others—is entirely wrong and leaves no room for excuse. Furthermore, the inappropriate statements I made in my previous remarks, in which I attempted to justify my actions, only highlight my lack of responsibility and my dismissive attitude. I feel deeply ashamed and remorseful for this.

    Furthermore, as a player who has always loved *Zero District*, I am fully aware that this work embodies the countless days and nights of hard work and talent from the development team. This love should have been transformed into respect and protection, yet due to my extreme lack of legal awareness and blurred understanding of the boundaries of rights, it ultimately led me in the opposite direction.

    Reflecting on the sequence of events: Initially, relying solely on my technical skills and driven by a fondness for the game’s characters, I created related mods. After seeing them gain some attention, I mistakenly equated them with “player-generated content” out of a sense of complacency, completely failing to realize that such actions constituted copyright infringement and crossed legal boundaries.

    This cognitive bias and misconduct caused significant harm to the developers’ hard work and betrayed everyone’s expectations for compliant creation; I deeply regret this.

    Here, I once again offer my sincere apologies to miHoYo, the *Zero District* development team, and all friends affected by my actions. I am willing to take full responsibility for all consequences resulting from this incident. I will proactively cooperate with the relevant authorities, fulfill my legal obligations and financial liabilities through concrete actions, and do my utmost to rectify my mistakes and mitigate the impact.

    This incident has taught me a lesson I will never forget. In the future, I will diligently study relevant laws and regulations, strengthen my legal awareness and commitment to compliance, strictly regulate my own behavior, never cross such red lines again, and respect the intellectual property rights of others. 

    Once again, I offer my most sincere apologies to all parties affected by my actions. I earnestly ask for the opportunity to reform and start anew, and I welcome everyone’s oversight of my future conduct.

    Finally, I would like to say:

    *Zero Zone* is an outstanding work that embodies the dedication and talent of the development team; its unique art style and exquisite production have always been the reasons for my love for it. I sincerely hope that everyone will continue to follow and support *Zero Zone*, and I look forward to the game bringing even more surprises in the future. Moving forward, I will return to being an ordinary player and, in the proper manner, show my appreciation for the development team’s dedication and hard work.

(This is translated from Google)

I’m a loyal Kuro Games fan who plays both PGR and Wuwa. In PGR, I’ve purchased many skins, but I have absolutely no desire to spend money on skins in Wuwa.

Even though PGR has a PC client, I never once thought about using mods as a reason to skip buying skins there. The real issue is that after playing both, it’s clear that Kuro's skin quality in Wuwa just isn't up to par.

Currently, I spend about $125.1 to $250.2 per month across both games. While I agree that we shouldn’t complain if they crack down on mods, I have to be honest: with or without mods, I still wouldn't want to buy the current skins in Wuwa.

 

the only skin in wuwa i found appealing was jinhsi skin anything that came after it is dogshit for me sadly but still coped some bcz of their mods { ik how dumb tha sounds lol me buying skins t put free skins on top of them but well that tell you a lot about skins in wuwa }

yea the zzz team got mad and felt that the flop of their skins was because of mods and saw that kanou was arguably the biggest zzz modder they just nuked him legally so now sadly we wont get his top tier mods in wuwa anymore

That calculation seems a bit off, doesn't it? lol
Does it just feel like you're desperate to deny the impact of mods?
We'd be lucky if even 5% of the player base is willing to pay.
If over 10% of players are using mods, then there's definitely an impact.
If you want to own multiple characters and use multiple mods, paying is probably a must.

don't waste your time they won't get that. me saying i paid to get characters just because of their mods seemed weird to them

此内容由 KanouSakura 的个人账号发布。春节期间，他被米哈游的律师逮捕，警方陪同入狱。我们不清楚他在狱中达成了什么协议，但出狱后，他删除了所有模组作品，并退出了模组社区。

他曾为米哈游和Kuro Games制作MOD，但最终被米哈游叫停。如果你认为Kuro恶意打压MOD制作者，那就好好看看真正的恶意是什么样子吧。

 

That is completely groundless. KanouSakura was approached by official staff from HoYoverse, and was never imprisoned—so how could there be any mention of being released from prison? He deleted all his mods, including his account, in order to reach a settlement with HoYoverse. The reason he was approached was that his internet presence was too high-profile, and his mods were so well-known that someone else modified them into R18 versions without permission and resold them. The person involved in the resale was later apprehended by the police, who then notified HoYoverse’s official staff. That is why KanouSakura was approached.

[cxo404]

Moreover, what that guy earlier said is quite right. Players who use mods for this game are only a small portion to begin with. On top of that, mods themselves already operate in a gray area, let alone R18 mods. If you don’t draw the attention of Kuro Games’ officials, they simply can’t be bothered to take action. Besides, the game’s optimization is getting worse and it requires more and more storage space—my computer is already struggling to run it, and using mods makes the frame rate even lower. Even if Kuro Games doesn’t ban mods, I’ll probably quit the game after a while.

Status on the UI mods:

We got hit pretty hard. The stuff I care about the most is still fully functional, like the stuff I put a lot of time into, but most of the stuff I maintain has been damaged to some extent. There might be fixes for certain things like NPCs, Echos and Ragunna city's inconsistency issues, but I really hesitate to make a move right now, with modding in general being in flux. I wanna see what approach Spectrum and Co end up settling on first.

I'm probably gonna step back from my modding work behind the scenes until then as well.

 

Mods that are completely unscathed (Don't need to redownload these):

• Changli BP (This thing will never die)
• Bike mods (Pog, I expected this to die thanks to LoD issues)
• Achievement mod
• Pekomama Terminal

Mods that have been fixed to 100% (Redownload them):

• Cartethyia Terminal
• Map

Mods that have been fixed but are missing stuff due to the dynamic atlas' (Redownload them):

• Backpack - Missing the transparency on the items
• Guidebook - Missing the claim button artworks and the background colouring
• Store - Missing the item exchange backgrounds
• Databank/Synthesis - Missing just a LOT of icons, really gutted this one

Mod that should be working but is misbehaving for some unknown reason:

• Ragunna City + TV - LoDs might be doing something? I think the book changes hash now so that's lost. Everything else is working but you have to run up close to actually get them mod to start. I've tried hunting for distance hashes, but that doesn't seem to be the issue.

Mods that didn't need to be fixed, but still lost some stuff (Don't need to redownload these):

• Character UIs - They lost unique colours and menu button artworks, but all of the stuff that is still moddable hasn't changed hashes or atlas' so I don't actually have to do any work fixing them, they're usable as is.

Stuff that isn't my responsibility:

• Echos - Lmao who the fuck knows, I might work on these but they might also just be a victim of the LoD issue so it might not be worth the effort
• NPCs - Definitely effected by the LoD issue, most likely fixable with stable textures but that's A LOT of mods to fix and I do not give enough of a shit to deal with that before any potential fix is released.

I've updated everything that needs to be updated, I also did the loading screen and portrait mods last night which have already been updated on GB for like 12 hours now.

Likely just the anti-cheat incorrectly flagging 3dMigoto's dll injection. It's in accord to the fact that it gets worse around the beginning of every Stygian Onslaught round. Put simply, it's just collateral damage in HoYo's war against cheating on the mode (or modes, if you include Imaginarium Teather, which recently got its new "Lunar" difficulty) that it's meant to sell the newest characters and/or a lot of Constellations.

 

Don't get me wrong: Neither HoYo nor Kuro will likely ever admit that mods and reshading bring some extra attention to the game (small as it may be)... But that's how it indeed is, and Kuro/HoYo does know about it.

 

As for why they won't admit, it's simple: While having the promise of modded content attached to your game is good for sales, no company wants to be directly associated with a modding community with predominant(?) 18+ content, some of questionable nature at it. So yeah, no "official permit" will ever be issued, because this means acknowledging NSFW content and, because of it, having the public see you as endorsing it.

Of course, this is still the corporate world, so you can expect for Kuro/Hoyo to happily throw modders the entire modding community under the bus the moment too much attention is drawn to the fact that their games can be modded with relative ease to include NSFW content. Also, someone in said corporations may take as their job to be as litigious as possible (mostly their own legal teams), and start small wars against modders for the sake of justifying their paychecks.

 

With that in mind, I don't think we got to the point of the first case, and the second one doesn't happen all the time, either.

Portraits Team UI - Big Tiddy Cuties v3.2.rar 41.48 MB · 1 download

 

Colour space is correct set to 0, I'd personally add a very slight x offset of -0.02 to centre her portrait, but other than that it's fine.

 

While I have you, a question. Would you be interested in having toggle functionality added to the mod? Along with toggle functionality would naturally come things like auto-toggling and randomisers n such, basically reintroducing a lot of the features from my old animated portrait mods, just for static images, as well as a script for setting it up.

 

Edit: The more I think about it, the more this becomes INCREDIBLY ugly. I shot myself in the foot by adding in the offset controls, it's a really nice addition that removes the need for users to edit their images before using the mod 'cus they can just edit in game, but being able to maintain that function across multiple images is really problematic. I'd either have to make a sacrifice and force users to edit their images manually in order to keep the script simple, or I'd have to go as far as creating a custom editing script that moves all of the editing controls to a GUI which runs as part of the toggle builder, which would make the script WAY more complicated and way harder for me to put together...

Thanks for the answer about the colour space for Sigrika, I was actually able to test it myself as i realized that the portraits are used in the ascendant aces event (the one where you can test characters in the banner.)

 

Don't bother adding toggles for me, you already have plenty on your plate with other mods. I don't intend to use more pictures in this art style. I do have generated more for each girls using various artist styles but if i come to use them and end up wanting to share them, I'll probably just release them as separated mods.

I always use the same image size (to a few pixels approx) so i'm not really using the image offset / scale controls, so I don't really mind them. I understand the usefulness in the case of the chibi pictures you used though.

 

Here's an exemple with shorekeeper of other styles I could use. You could argue that having a toggle to change from one style to another could be better than releasing different mods. But first i'm not sure I'll use all those pics i've generated, and second, i'm the kind to stick to the thing I like the best, which is probably the style I used so far, so i would probably not use the toggle myself.

 

But thanks anyway. If you decide to add this toggle on your side, I'll see later if I decide to use it or stick to the mod core as you first designed it. But that would mean that I'd have to go through hundreds of picture for each character to select the most suiting pic...and clearly I do not have the time for that atm.
