riizch Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 Apologies if this is a dumb thing to raise (which it probably is), but there are some ridiculously big mod packs out there that bring the total number of costumes for some characters (Kasumi, for example) to 60, but this is far in excess of the free slots detailed in the tutorials. Â Further, when I try to use DLC tool to make a new DLC, it tells me that any costume number in excess of those detailed in the free slots table, cannot be found. Â How do the creators of these mod packs add more costumes than there are free slots available? Â Again, apologies if this is a stupid question...I'm new to all this!

Â Every DLC pack has a bin file, that bin file can be extracted using doa5lrarchivarius. Then every character costume has a (.c .p .tmc .tmcl) extension file. These 4 files are the ones you use to create a custom pack(repack) by inserting them in dlctool. Also characters have limited costume slots average 17 for major characters some even less and males only 4 or so. So u cant have that 60 at once u need to choose which and add that costume to the free slot at the dlctool. Â read dlctool tutorials for details.
MetaModder Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 When I want to combine meshes from different costumes together, how do I choose what slots to insert them into? Do I want to take from the simpler costume and place them in the more complex one? Â Â How do I make a certain texture in the texture tool correspond to a certain mesh? Â I suggest starting with a complex costume, removing any unneeded mesh objects, and importing the mesh from the other costume into one of the slots you deleted. It is usually better to place a mesh with a small vertex count into a slot previously occupied by a mesh with a higher vertex count. Â The mesh slot you imported into is associated with a texture slot, so use Noesis' UV View command see which texture it corresponds to. You can then place the imported mesh's texture into that texture slot.
riizch Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 Warning - n00b question ahead...  Can anyone explain to me why the textures on this costume are not showing up for me?  It's meant to be a gold colour, but it just comes out black.  I made it using DLC tool to compile TCM/L files from a popular chinese forum with the C and P files from Holden's nude mod.   Sorry for the dumb question, but I'm new to all this.  Any guidance would be appreciated   Â

But what is the technical reason that a star occurs, even if i import keep vertices order and export keep vertices order. Anyone?  Starfish is usually caused by incorrect index buffer and/or vertex buffer.Â
riizch Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 Thanks Timmy. Â The texture is definitely there - I've decompiled and checked it with texture tool, and it all looks to be in order. Â I've attempted it a number of times using different C and \p's as well, but with the same result each time. Â I guess it must be the normal vectors. Â Problem is, I have no idea what that means! Â I'll have to go back to the drawing board.
timmyc Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 A normal vector is a unit vector (length of 1) that indicates the "up" direction on a triangle/vertex.  Normal vectors are very important in computer graphics because it can quickly help with various tasks that need to be performed with high efficiency during drawing. It can be used in tasks such as lighting which is related to collision detection, and so on. If a mesh is dark and not properly lit, I'd look into normal vectors. They could be all 0s in your case. If you want I can take a quick look at it and see if I can figure something out. No guarantee, though

With the TMCMesh plugin, it's very straightforward to import and export meshes between Blender and the game. I also had trouble getting the MQO converter working consistently, and it crashed quite often.

josinho Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 I found the answer!! You must edit the program called "python34". You must put as administrator and should work
Guest GuachaLover23 Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 I found the answer!! You must edit the program called "python34". You must put as administrator and should work  yea i did that and it still does not work Â
josinho Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 I did this and it worked. Also you must put "dinput8.dll" in the doa folder.
skyrimer Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015  Ok I've tried lnk Reshuffle v3, moved the dinput8.dll from the v1.03beta folder to my legit steam doa5lr root folder, clicked on select game exe, choose game.exe from the root folder, but I get a message "unknown exe". I'm using the latest 1.04 beta 3 patch. Can anyone help?
siframe Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 Afaik there's no version of lnk reshuffle to deal with anything after 1.03
skyrimer Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 So if I use it with the pirate copy, can I move the changed costumes to the legit version?
