Trails through Daybreak II (NIS America, English Language release)

[SonicMan1234]

If I wanted to use gggnog's half nude mods from Kai in Daybreak 2 I'd assume I'd need to rename the mdl files right? And probably any reference to the original mdl in the files right?

[Guest]

anyone been getting crashes with mods? it happens randomly when a new scene loads or if i use an art. i have tried making p3a's out of lakovics and ggnog's original mods, changed the mdl version to 1 and changed the mdl name to the character base(ex: Elaine's is 5110_c10). 

 

i checked the error log and it shows this at the bottom after a bunch of missing translations errors:

01:17:07.742 W Localizer: Missing Japanese translation: MESS_SETTINGS_DESCRIPTION_allow_input_while_inactive_OFF

I have crash when trying to swap Elaine default outfit too, it also happens randomly. I guess the file is not compatible somewhere

i tried to swap elaine's default c10 with her bath towel c02 that i grabbed from inside the game's asset folder, renamed it to c10, and turned it into a p3a and it still crashed while casting arts

To everyone trying to randomly change around filenames, you have to also change the .mi file.

 

For example, if asset/common/model/chr5001_c10.mdl is replaced by chr5001_c02.mdl, then asset/common/model_info/chr5001_c10.mi has to be replaced by chr5001_c02.mi as well.

 

See here for more explanation.

still crashes unfortunately. even went so far and followed ya'lls instructions to make a dlc and it still crashes during arts. only happens with mods. might be because of the pirated version. need to know if this happens with users who've purchased the game before i bite the bullet and buy it tbh

----------Downgrade Kai v4 mods for Trails through Daybreak II----------

 

Some Kai mods are made in the latest MDL format (v4) and will not work in Daybreak II unless you downgrade them.

 

Example:

Before and after downgrading the nude mod made by @jmedia7 :

  Reveal hidden contents

 

I tested a few of the Kai mods, and here's a list of which mods I tested need to be downgrade and which mods can be use directly.

 

Kai mods made in v4, they need to be downgrade to v1 to be use in Daybreak II:

Nude mod by @gggnog

Nude mod by @jmedia7

Mini skirt mod by @Kent_ex

 

Kai mods made in v1, they can use in Daybreak II without downgrading the mdl:

Nude mod by @lakovic

Underwear mod by @fakecheng

 

How to downgrade MDL v4 mods to MDL v1:

1. Download Kuro MDL Tool and extract it.

2. Place the MDL files into the Kuro MDL Tool folder and run 'kuro_mdl_export_meshes.py'.

3. Navigate to the chrxxxx folder, open 'mdl_version.json', and change the number from 4 to 1.

4. Run 'kuro_mdl_import_meshes.py' to repack the MDL files.

5. Follow the Instruction to install the mods.

 

For mods not listed above, you can check the mod's MDL format by looking the 'mdl_version' in step 3.

 

I tried putting a mdl file into the folder and running the script but nothing happens? Is this how it should look?

 

Spoiler

Try running 'install_python_modules' if you haven't installed the modules already.

 

Btw @amorrow28 has updated his Instruction with a much easier downgrade method. Check Other types of mods > Kai no Kiseki CLE mods section.

If you're using fitgirl version, did you install it in the uncompressed form? If you did then there will be a lot of files encrypted and mods and patches won't work properly. Also, the fitgirl version is still in 1.1.2 version and some of the mods here have been tuned for the latest version so that's probably another cause.

Ah, I missed installing to path. That fixed it.

Ah. Then you have to wait for the patches to come which is taking long for some reason. 

[SonicMan1234]

Hm, I tried to convert ggg's npcnudepack 1 but nothing happens in game. I made sure to use the updated downgrading script, checked the json to make sure it's 1, and then repacked it the same way I've been doing fake's UDW mods which all work. What am I missing?

when I run import it makes a bak. file and all but when I delete the folder and bak file and export the product mdl again mdl_version.json once again says 4. Is it supposed to do that? Trying to downgrade gggnog's nude mods btw.

Have you created an 'asset' folder and put 'common' and 'dx11' inside that folder? Since the 'asset' does not come with the mod.

The version number should be 1 if the downgrade is successful. Try amorrow28's Instruction instead. Check Other types of mods > Kai no Kiseki CLE mods section. Type cmd in address bar to open command line.

When I extract it I get npcnude.pack_vol.1 --> npcnude.pack_vol.1 --> common and dx11. I renamed the 2nd npcnude.pack_vol.1 folder into asset then go about converting (though looking through each file I think only Sarah is MDL4) then putting the converted mdls back into the common/model folder and dragging the first npcnude.pack_vol.1 onto the p3a maker. Despite that no change occurs (I use Paulette as the check). I take out my converted UDW mod for her too just to check but it doesn't seem to be a conflict. She's just vanilla if the only mod in for her is npcnude.

I get this error. I'm a complete newcomer so I don't know what it means.

Try copy chr5310 and rename the copied one to chr5310_c00. Paulette has two models, and maybe she is wearing chr5310_c00 when you check her.

Based on the 'C:\Users\Ouroboros' and 'Permission denied' shown in your picture, I assume that you unzipped the tool directly in your users folder?

Try unzip mdl tools in other place, for example, your desktop, and unzip it as folder. Your tools address bar should be look like 'C:\Users\Ouroboros\Desktop\KuroMDLTools_v1.5.12'. Then try again.

Oh god, that was the issue. I just kinda assumed she would be wearing the right one in the prologue. Thanks.

apparently my files were hidden, unhiding seems to have fixed the problem. Thanks for the help.

This is probably a dumb question since we've very much moved on from 3DM, but I cannot find the tutorial to convert 3DM mods to MDL back in the Daybreak 1/Kuro 2 threads. There's some things in lakovic's sexy and nude I'd like to port but those versions are still 3DM.

 

Edit: nvm, I found it.
