Fairy Fencer F: Refrain Chord - Tool Release and Art Support

[Faelty]

Hey gang, long time no see.

 

I picked up the above game in the Steam sale for 90% off, pretty good, but nobody seems to play it. The girls were just asking for a mod, but there were no tools for this game, so I made one that decrypts, extracts, replaces and repacks the files, all working fine in game, but I am not an artist, I can do texture mods, but having to rely on AI for the art mods, and it won't let me do anything more spicy than in the screenshots.

 

Anyone up for a challenge, or can point me in the direction of a free online AI that can do spicy anime image to image?

 

Happy to release the tool to the community, just need to make sure there's nothing in there that can be traced back to me first.

 

Thanks

Amazing, thank you, do you have the game? I can share the tool with you, if not I can share the sprite sheets, there's multiple sheets for each girl but the torso is the same across the different sprite sheets so only one edit is needed for each girl and I can merge the edits.

i don't have the game but yeah if you can send over the sprite sheets that would be great

No problem, here you go!. Ignore the bikini bottoms on 523, that was just the AI adding unneeded details. Feel free to send them over as you go to check alignment as some of the torso are split between upper and lower. Thanks again!

 

*edit*

 

I have updated the first post with in-game screenshots of each girl, should help with alignment and to see where any tweaks are needed once clothing is removed.

Of course, just replaced the sprite sheets in my previous post with the originals. Thanks

Testing the model editing pipeline, got the first model edits to stick in game, not a fast process but working fine at the moment. Once I have the model edits sorted, will work on the texture edits.

 

*edit*

 

Good lord, the technical hoops I am having to jump through are annoying me, almost like they didn't design the game to be hacked to pieces by a pervert.

 

*edit 2*

 

First pass on Tiara nude texture done, need to align nipples, add shading, detail, sort models for sleeves and bows.

Built a new tool to allow per-triangle painting due to the extremely low poly count of some parts of the models. Harley is essentially done after some shading (spoiler above), working on Fleur but having culling issues with the dress removed as part of the torso was missing under the dress, expanding the existing vertices to close the gap is causing culling. They didn't model the torso fully on this one for some reason, the pelvis is a primitive shape compared to the others and the one leg is just floating so I may just have to make her topless if I can't fix it.

Fixed the animation/mesh gap issues on Fleur, onto the next girls.

Bored of model/texture editing for a bit so working on some custom animations.

Got a body replacement tool working so I don't have to keep doing entire unique textures for each of the remaining girls, and can just do one texture with a few small changes to make each one unique. Needs a bit of tweaking still, but getting there.

Still refining the tools in the background, had to substantially rework the custom animations handler to smooth the keyframes as it was just taking forever, can refine the bone placements better now. Not sure if @k0kk0r0 is still working on the artwork so done some placeholders for now, can replace them or refine once I know what's happening. Taking a while to get through the story and unlock all the characters. I have decrypted the save file so if needed I can start a new save and just unlock everything but not sure if that will break the game.

Spent some time on the portraits that have the upper and lower torso split due to wearing large dresses, needs some tweaking, but got the bulk of the alignment done. Will go back to the earlier girls and sort the sleeves and a few dodgy overwrites where I wasn't paying attention.

Marissa is done, this one took hours as it's 4 copies of the same body overlapping due to how her dress was assembled. The breathing animation makes some parts move slightly out of alignment and there's a mask I haven't found yet that affects the hand but considering this good enough for now.
