PSO2 Mod Thread

Btw, noticed that I couldn't swap out the Gal rifle model. Could be another ICE file making it not change.

Can someone else confirm?

While I figure out a better all race outfit for the Elder mod...

Spoiler!

Here's a Matoi Viel mod! All race! It replaces the Mikumiko Set outfit. (ミクミコセット)

I tried swapping Loser's outfit on my own since I figured out a way to find fodder outfits I want without having to extract everything.

But apparently Dealer Suit is borked? Even when I repack the unedited original outfit and try the file out, this happens: (game doesn't crash)

Spoiler!

Is there any way to fix this or is it hopeless? The file for this outfit is 263390726ad6b9e6f6b8a259a444286b
There's no group 1, and I made sure the file names all had the same 4 digit number; game crashed if I left the names as ice.exe extracted them.

I successfully swapped a different costume though: the crafter labcoat. (I'm not releasing this since recolor pass + somewhat expensive outfit)

Spoiler!

Any idea of what the file names for the old ARKS Operator outfits are? I really hope to see people make their own modifications for them, especially myself.

damn a 23MB text file..

Have all my likes, sir.

Also, looking at all those files. I wonder if we can do animation swaps as well... Although that poses quite the issue, because that could also mean we can swap all enemy attack animations for standing still animations and stuff, since IIRC, PSO2 handles all that clientside...

In fact, I also wanna take a loot inside those INI files to see how much we change.

Oh man, thank you. I'll link that on guide thread for everyone.

As I said in PM, this is pretty nice. I'll add it to the first post in a sec here. The fact that it's all races too is convenient.

Potentially, but the desync with the server is probably asking for trouble most of the time so I wouldn't link that kind of thing here. Even with lobby actions, what if someone tries to copy your LA? I don't know how the game would react if your LA finished before theirs and it would probably be visible on the other end.

Certain exceptions, I might consider (ie. Getting story weapons like Matoi's swords to work properly), but generally this animations are probably going to be a nono for safety purposes.

As for the ini files, do you mean the encrypted .ini.lua code ones? There's probably some interesting things to check with those, but you'd have to decrypt those too I would think. You'd also probably have to be able to convert them back.

Yeah, something I should mention is a few files don't get packed quite right back with what we have. I don't know why, but the .dds files get a bit messed up. If you unpack your results, you'll see. Silver had that problem with some of the Rappy suits actually. The game just also doesn't handle some file repacks in general very well for whatever reason, even if it's only a few files like your outfit there. I'm not 100% sure why right now :/

Hardly, actualy. Online games do not really sync animations with servers for multiple reasons, only movement stuff. That part is handled locally. Assuming they do it like in other games, they just send start and end animation events.
[speculation] As for sync LAs, it's nothing more than getting LA ID and synchornizing it with the timing you see in the client. Worst case scenario, it assumes LA was canceled if it gets cutoff.[/speculation]
But PSO2 gets it even worse on data syncing, because from what I've seen, it allows a player to go offline for almost 2 minutes without rejecting the information it gets afterwards.

INI edit will be a big no, unless it's about rendering, camera, and other visual stuff. But I'm more interested in knowing the guts of the game than actualy editing them.
