For some reason, when using the Fluorita mod, Avywenna starts shooting beams out of her eyes. I confirmed that the issue disappears when the Fluorita mod is removed. I think I fixed this issue. Are you sure you downloaded the latest version of Fluorite 1.8? 1

Plus, being a mod there tends to cause more trouble than it's worth—so it’s really not worth the effort. Anyone who mods there without proper protection has only themselves to blame. I don't play it myself, though, since I’ve got plenty of other games already. And we’ve seen in other games just how ruthlessly they crack down on mods—especially if there isn't a proper mod manager in place to provide you with protection. I'm already using a couple of mods from other authors for NTE. I'm testing the developers' attitude towards mods on my account. So far, I haven't had any bans or warnings. However, I wouldn't recommend doing this yet if you value your account. The experimentation continues, although I rarely log in now.

Dam0nBaird Posted May 14 Author Posted May 14 19 hours ago, Lxx55 said: Haha, it's so great to hear you say that! First of all, there's really no rush. I've compared the current situation on NTE; the mod managers are scattered and even incompatible with games on Chinese servers, though they seem fine for international servers—I've verified this myself. Games like Arknights Endfield have good xxmi support, so mod managers are really crucial. I'm still quite optimistic about this game; after all, NTE's urban gameplay is very realistic and I think it has great potential, but there's no need to rush. One last thing: everyone can see you really love this game and are writing everything with your passion, but please take care of your health! Finally, I wish you all the best, good health, and happiness! Thank you for your kind words. Yes, NTE has potential—the game currently provides a good foundation for future updates—but so far I see that interest in it is much less than for, say, ZZZ or Arknights Endfield. I hope they can find their way and manage the project properly so as not to overlap or split the audience with the previously mentioned games or the announced Ananta, which, in my opinion, looks more promising for its urban and open-world environments.

I hope that day comes soon, and that the mods you created for the NTE community will flourish even more.
BigBelt Posted May 14 Posted May 14 Oh, I didn’t realize there was a 1.8 version — I thought 1.7 was the latest. Sorry about that. After updating to 1.8, everything works correctly now! Also, I just noticed something: when using the Ember 1.4 mod, a black line-like artifact appears next to Laevatain’s hair. I double-checked with the final version this time, but if this turns out to be my mistake, I apologize in advance.

I double-checked with the final version this time, but if this turns out to be my mistake, I apologize in advance. I'll check that out, thanks. Perhaps these problems are occurring because I haven't updated all my mods to the new version of the tools yet, or the new version itself has bugs—I don't know yet. In the Fluorite and Avivien example, the error was caused by a component in the Fluorite model that I didn't even modify—I extracted it from the game and reinserted it exactly as is, without the slightest modification. 1
BigBelt Posted May 15 Posted May 15 I’m not very knowledgeable about modding myself, but even just hearing about it sounds really exhausting. That said, regardless of the bugs, the quality of your mods keeps improving day by day, and personally I think they’re among the best Endfield mods out there. Your work speed is honestly impressive, but I hope you also take care of your health so we can all keep enjoying Endfield together for a long time. And as always, thank you for the amazing mods. 2

Sangoku25 Posted May 17 Posted May 17 (edited) There were a few more updates that broke some mods it gave a hash change akekuri Avywenna Yvonne Certain mods require a fixer; others—specifically those that utilize the "Rabbit Fix" and the latest modding tools—are unaffected. That one worked without any problems for me. For the others, keep in mind that you have the Rabbit fix included once. Edited May 17 by Sangoku25

Thank you. But I'm not creating them fast enough; I'd like to speed things up. Once I figure out the difficulties, I hope the creation will go faster. Regarding the remaining mod updates and issues, some mods are reluctant to update to new tools, and this is slowing down Ardelia's development. 1
kira82 Posted May 18 Posted May 18 Thanks @Dam0nBaird for the mod & @HornymanV69 for the edit, she kinda reminds me of Echidna from Queen's Blade lol. 1
shigkai Posted May 19 Posted May 19 Great, honestly speaking one of my favorite mods and one of the few to have pubes as well and plugs, so thank you for making it! Is there any hope of a potential TangTang version, or Rossi version?

Is there any hope of a potential TangTang version, or Rossi version? Hello. Enjoy. As I've written several times before, TangTang is in the plans, but I have no intention of modifying Rossi or future operatives of her age under any circumstances. 1
Dam0nBaird Posted May 20 Author Posted May 20 Mods for Yvonne, Endmin, Chen, and Perlica have been updated—they should now work properly in rainy areas. Mods for Akekuri, Estella, and Ember have been updated (a component that was breaking some operators has been removed). The updated Perlica mod has a bug, so when moving 2-3 meters away from her, the jacket and arm models stop working. This bug is related to model extraction with new tools. I'm looking for a solution. For now, I've left the previous mod version 1.1 (it's better to use it for now). Also, at certain angles, the wet texture returns to its original state, and this happens with a certain combination of operatives - I'm looking for a solution. 5
BigBelt Posted May 20 Posted May 20 The update is great as always — thank you for your work. I also wanted to ask something: why do the mods seem to have mismatched face and body skin tones? I tried looking into it myself by opening the texture files, and the RGB values seem almost identical, so I’m guessing it’s more of a material/shader difference than an actual texture color issue. In some lighting conditions it honestly looks perfectly fine, but in the screenshots you uploaded recently, the mismatch seems especially noticeable under darker lighting. Was this intentional on your end, or is it something that could potentially be fixed?

In some lighting conditions it honestly looks perfectly fine, but in the screenshots you uploaded recently, the mismatch seems especially noticeable under darker lighting. Was this intentional on your end, or is it something that could potentially be fixed? No, this wasn't done intentionally for screenshots. As I was told, the tools I use can't change component materials (they're hidden). (This material is responsible for light absorption, transparency, tint, and so on.) I must link the naked body you see in the mods to one or more components in order to use their vertices responsible for animations and position in space (knee to knee, elbow to elbow). Therefore, using, for example, the component responsible for the dress as a basis for the torso, the torso begins to use the dress's material. (Obviously, the face and dress react differently to lighting and other factors.) Therefore, we see what we see—Fluorita's body in the mod isn't a body, but her jumpsuit, and it reacts to light like a jumpsuit. It simply has the shape and texture of a body. I try to make the body textures as close as possible to the face textures by eye, experimenting with the diffuse map and the lighting map. Edited May 20 by Dam0nBaird 1
BigBelt Posted May 20 Posted May 20 So each modder is using a different modding tool. In that case, unless the specific tool supports material editing, it’ll probably be difficult to solve this issue. It’s a bit unfortunate, but I guess there’s not much that can be done for now. Hopefully the modding tools will support it sometime in the future.
Dam0nBaird Posted May 21 Author Posted May 21 I hope that someday a shared vertex feature will be added for all components. Currently, the numerical designation of the vertices of one component is not equivalent to the equivalent of another component (for example, the component responsible for the original model's body has a vertex (neck) and is called 12, but for the jacket component, this vertex (neck) is called 65). This is the same everywhere. Such a feature would greatly simplify my work and allow me to use any component as a basis for the body. I would finally be able to use the component responsible for the exposed parts of the original model's body (arms, neck) in all mods. This is the best option. An example is the Laevatain mod, where this component turned out to be the most suitable for the basis of the new body.
TAIGAZ Posted May 21 Posted May 21 14 hours ago, Dam0nBaird said: 不,这并非故意为了截图而做的。据我所知,我使用的工具无法更改组件材质(它们是隐藏的)。(这种材质负责光线吸收、透明度、色调等等。)我必须将你在模组中看到的裸体模型链接到一个或多个组件,才能使用它们负责动画和空间位置(膝盖到膝盖,肘部到肘部)的顶点。因此,例如,如果以负责连衣裙的组件为基础来构建躯干,那么躯干就会使用连衣裙的材质。(显然,脸部和连衣裙对光照和其他因素的反应不同。)因此,我们看到的就是我们所看到的——模组中弗洛丽塔的身体并非真正的身体,而是她的连体衣,它对光线的反应也像连体衣一样。它只是拥有了身体的形状和纹理。 我尽量通过目测使身体纹理与面部纹理尽可能接近,并不断尝试调整漫反射贴图和光照贴图。 有一个中文论坛中给出了一种解决方案,可以跨ib进行渲染,并且给出了教程:https://www.caimogu.cc/post/2329514.html A Chinese forum has posted a solution that allows rendering across IB, along with a tutorial: https://www.caimogu.cc/post/2329514.html
