Atelier Ryza 2 Modding

[Monterossa]

I'll release some of my mods here.

HUD Toggle

Hide HUD from the screen so you can take HUDless screenshots anytime. Works in cutscenes, in battles, and on the field.

Installation:
Extract everything into the game's folder.

How to use:
Press F4 to disable/enable the HUD.

PS4 Buttons

Replace the Xbox buttons aka the dudebros buttons with Dualshock 4 ones.

It requires Kaldaien's Special-K just like how it did in Ryza 1.

Updated V9 (2021-03-16) For game version 1.03.

Costume Mods

These mods require 3DMigoto (the same tool used for the HUD Toggle mod.

To use these mods, put the INI files into (game folder)\Mods\Costumes\ (if you don't have it, create it). 3DMigoto will read the mod files automatically.

Ryza without hat

Just equip the straw hat to make her hat disappear on any costumes.

disable outline would be great, outline causing too much aliasing

PAK Replacing Mods

You need to extract PAK files to use these mods.

Gust Tools (PAK extractor):

ooof my game crashed after install ps4 button mod

[Kaldaien]

SK's capable of HUD toggle as well, BTW.

Not sure where the diagrams for that guide went :-\ It was illustrated originally.

[KingKrouch]

Mine as well put my two cents here:

Taking a look at the game's PAK files, it seems like the gust_pak tools that are available seemingly won't extract the game's files.

Someone has seemingly reported this issue that I stumbled into as well:

https://github.com/VitaSmith/gust_tools/issues/27

Ideally, finding a way to get a modloader up and running which loads lose files (or at least smaller archives) with some sort of priority system, instead of the assets in the .PAK archives, would be more ideal for distributing mods that deal with a small chunk of modified game assets instead of requiring anyone who wants to use mods to have to unpack and repack game files or use external shader/texture injection tools.

Anyways, great DualShock button prompt mod.

I installed the PS4 button mod, and the game always crashes on start with an MGS alert sound. Someone help me please?

I installed the PS4 button mod for Ryza 1 and that one works fine, but this one for Ryza 2 just crash the game every time. my SK version is 0.11.0.50.

how did you manage to unpack the files? every unPAKing tool i've tried fails because of this game's particular encryption, the answer is still not on LoversLab

They didn't. They're using SpecialK to dump the textures that are currently in memory as .DDS files, and then modifying them in an image editor before letting SpecialK inject the modified texture.

3dmigoto is also a shader modification tool that is primarily geared towards getting games to run with NVIDIA 3D Vision, but also allows for modifying Pixel and Vertex shaders and loading modified ones.

As he said above. I didn't unpack anything. All these mods are relying on Special-K and 3DMigoto's features. It's just a temporary modding method until someone can extract the PAK files.

oh ok thanks, we are currently waiting for Gust Tools to get updated, we really need to remove those ugly black censor panties.
