DOA5LR Modding FAQ, read this please.

[kholdy]

Getting a bit sick of the same question being asked a million times in every single DOA5LR thread, so I'm just going to put them all in here in hopes that it'll reduce the amount of people asking them. 

 

 

-Are there Nyotengu/Christie/Honoka full nude mods yet?

Short answer: no.

Long answer: The tools we have right now are very convoluted, making a mod like this is really hard. Harry Palmer gave us the bodies of most of the cast, but the ones who don't have mods yet, we don't have the bodies for.

Rest assured that when we make any sort of progress on this, you WILL notice, cause it will be huge news.

Edit: Lei Fang has just received an update! As such, she has been removed from this question.

 

-But I just saw a mod for them on <insert probably asian site here>!

 

That's not a proper mod for them. It's just another character's body slapped onto them with no regards for body seams. There WILL be noticeable flaws, usually mismatched body-head colours, a massive neck seam, or in Honoka's case, her neck being gone entirely. If you're really desperate to have them naked, go for it, but don't expect these mods to be anywhere near perfect.

 

-Can we have nude characters in story cutscenes?

 

Right now, no. I don't believe anyone has actually found a way to change costumes in the story cutscenes, those costumes are locked. If you mod those costumes with uMod, the changes will show up, but there won't be a full nude mod for story cutscenes until someone figures out how to change them.

 

-Can my computer run DOA5LR?

 

This question doesn't even belong on a modding board. There are plenty of sites and forums to check this, please don't clutter this board with this.

DOA5LR isn't a very demanding game as far as I can tell. If you can run other recent games you'll be fine with this.

 

-How do I use these mods?

 

You'll need to get a cracked exe so you can load DLC in its custom ini file. If you google them I'm sure you'll find them. In the ini, there should be something like this:

 

DLC001=0000000000

DLC002=0000000000

DLC003=0000000000

 

Numbers change depending on DLC installed. Let's say you want to use a mod that came packed in a folder "420691". Move this ENTIRE folder into the DLC folder (where you installed DOA5LR), then change the ini to:

 

DLC001=0000420691

DLC002=0000000000

DLC003=0000000000

 

Note that this was just an example. If all your DLC's are at 0, most mods won't work, bringing me to...

 

-I did what you said, but my mods aren't showing up ingame?

 

You don't have the correct official DLC installed. The most important DLC to have right now is the Tropical Paradise set, which add the beach cutscenes and swimsuits.

 

-Parts of my character's body are missing!

 

You're using an outdated mod that doesn't have the AMD fix applied. Try another. Most mods you'll find right now are fixed for AMD.

 

-My game crashed when I tried to select a costume!

 

Your mods are incompatible with each other. We only have a limited amount of costume slots to work with using the current tools available. Certain mods will use the same costume slots, causing a crash if you try to load them. Most modders are trying to make their mods compatible with Holden's HDM Nude Mod, anything else is fair game.

 

 

 

I hope that covers it. If there's anything you'd like me to add, or if there's a mistake somewhere, let me know. I'll try to keep this updated whenever new developments are made.

perhaps make it sticky

Are you working with Harry, kholdy? His nude mod looks very nice, though I havent had a chance to try it myself yet (just got the game yesterday).

Also, do you think he will tell us how to edit meshes, once he has a better understanding of how everything works? 

 

Thanks for the info.

Not working with him no, I just use "we" to refer the modding group as a whole =P

Nice. I havent even tried modding textures yet, but its good to know the wheels are in motion for editing meshes. Hopefully people smarter than me can figure out a relatively simple way to do this stuff, by the time Im ready to take a crack at it.

Gonna bump this up just once cause some of these questions are still being asked. If there's no interest in this I'll just let it drop though.

Bumping for being very informative. This should be stickied next to Holden's collab.
