[Saphaya]

[waseda111]

Modding this game right now is pretty hard as there is very little tutorials and resources provide right now.

Can you provide the procedure at least for this? Preferably starting from setting up Migoto lol

I'm no expert at modding though so take it at your own risk. I just followed the tutorial on bilibili randomly(I don't understand but viusally seeing what going on helps).

Requirements:
First download this 3dmigoto version from https://github.com/StarBobis/MigotoModTool
There is another version from the previous posted by malfa23 but i got no luck getting it to work because I can't read chinese.

Next, Clone this Github https://github.com/StarBobis/DBMT for the templete for later uses.

Lastly have Blender install so we can use the plugin they provided. I'm using 2.93.18 Blender version

Extracted it and put it somewhere(Doesn't have to be in the game's file).
Open MMT-GUI.exe, Make sure it's on english UI. Top left click [File]->[Open 3Dmigoto's d3dx.ini].
On notepad or any text editor you uses, Ctrl+F search [Loader], and find GF2 directory both Launcher and game's EXE. Set it to your own destination.

After that, back to the MMT and click on [Run] at the top bar. Run the BypassACE.EXE first then after that Loader.exe to open the game.

Hunting mode is 0 numpad, 7-8-9 for Index Buffer stuffs. + to reset.

Scroll to what you want to try changing or modding, press 9 to copy to clipboard

After you got what you want, Numpad + to reset and Press F8 to frame analysis(A little long and about 10GB file size).

Next, it's time to go into blender.

 

Install the plugin by go to [Preferences]->[Add-ons], Click install on top right and choose MMT.zip in your MMT folder. MMT-Community-V1.1.0.3\Plugins\MMT.zip

 

If you done it correctly this will appear at the side bar(click the arrow to expand it if you don't see this menu).

Now back to the MMT program, put the Hash that you want to extract so we can edit in Blender

 

Note that you can extract multiple hash if you wish to do so. Click [Extract Model] and wait for Success popup to show.

Now back to blender

 

Make sure to set the path to the folder that have MMT-GUI.exe(Blue Marker). Check the box below it.
And click the Red Mark to Import what we just extracted earlier.

What a madlad. Thank you very much mister 

[waseda111]

--Important to mention, You need to have the Base and the Key.buf files for the replacing to worked.
Basically we imported the hash 2 time. 1 for the editting we will replace, The other for the base that Nothing is Editted.(kinda like a base for Merge like other modding)

 It'll look like this later.

Back to your dump model and start editting it.

For someone with no Blender knowledge, you can follow tutorial somewhere in this website, the DOAXVV modding guide on youtube is a good one to start.
Mostly just use [Edit Mode] to select mesh to move or delete. [Ctrl+L] for the linking mesh so you can delete the mesh quicker. [Xray] view is recommend.

 

From what i saw, They don't actually deleted the mesh but instead just Moved it somewhere very far way from the scene.
Some verticie can be manually deleted and will not effected the result that much. It Could just be because this is not a merging method like other game used
so expect your mod to be spaghetti hard like no weight is being paint.

 

After you done editting your stuffs. First, Export the model that we editted, this will be the Key.buf File.
 

Go back to MMT and click [Generate Mod]. this automatically generate mod folder from what we just Exported from Blender just now.


Go to the generate folder. In here grab the file with [Posisiton.buf] and take it out so you can create your own mod.


Make a folder for your mod and put the Position.buf file in there. Name it [Key.buf]

 

Now go back to Blender this time hide the editted model/mesh. Select the one with no edit to be the Base.buf.
Export it and Generate the folder again in MMT program. (You can delete the previous generate first if you worry about it not overwrited)

Grab the position.buf again. Put it in the same folder as key.buf. This time name this one [Base.buf]

 

Go to the Github file that we Clone previously call DBMT-main. Follow this path DBMT-main\utils\ShaderProgram\RemoveVertex_CPU-PreSkinning

Copy the 2 files and put it in the same folder as the Key and Base.buf we did earlier. This will be the .ini templete to use.

Now the folder will look like this.

 

In the Test.ini put your Hash that you edit

 

Now below here, This is the hardest part I guess. In the Dispatch section I think is what VertexCount number suppose to go to.
I have no idea what it is and how exactly it suppose to be found. But atleast there some trial and error method you can try.

 

Use a hex editor(I use 010 hex editor from the tutorial i followed). Open your Key.buf or Base.buf with the hex editor.

Now take the size that it show(not sure all hex editor show this though), open calculator then Divide it by 40.

So mine is 738120/40 = 18453. Of course this size vary depend on the hash you editted and might not be the same size.

You might get a decimal like 1150.123026 something like this. Just ignore the decimal and try changing the lowest number.
so like 1150~1159 Reload the mod F10 repeat the process. And if it still doesn't work you might need start from dumping the Frame Analysis all over.

As i said i randomly follow tutorial on bilili. So in this part is might not be the same as modding in other games.

I'm sure there is a better way to do this but right now this is all I can do

It does but it's basically empty rn.

[makkun]

I'm "collecting" mmd models, and I know the devs provided the mmd models of the game on the Chinese website Aplaybox. Has anyone shared the mmd models or should I just rip the models from the game?

Yeah, doesn't work sadly. I'm using GF2 loader from https://github.com/StarBobis/MigotoModTool, it founds the game process but no changes on Suomi

Not sure why that doesn't work. Also I have my d3xd.ini game path set it to like this.

Do you see Migoto UI when running the game? Or some audio signal confirming it's working

Mine is setup in the loader section like above and it works. Don't point to the launcher with the "launch" option, that's not the game's actual exe.

Thank you, now it's working

Guys, not to be arrogant, but I'll kiss whoever will create the mod for removing Sharkry and Vepley skirts 

[iLars9912]

I think it's still too early to have good mods of this game, meanwhile it's time to be patient and enjoy the character design that is not bad at all.
