Modding effort for DW9E?

[zerokiryu777]

In DW8E days, there were some people who managed to decode the saves file for the game enabling you to play around with the files such as giving certain traits thats not usually available on normal means, like having male voices on female characters. Seems like there has been some progress on editing the game files via memory editing but that seems way more complicated than the way that they decode the files in DW8E. For reference, here is the link to the site that talked about the said effort:
https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/koeiwarriors/dw8e-modding-efforts-t17446-s10.html

I wanna highlight the post made by the user Lavos there, I know his link are dead but i still have his files after all these years. Wonder if anyone from here could make something similar for this game.

Unlike DW8XL and DW8E, I saw very little in mods in DW9 (Or more like, none besides some cheats), so I would expect about the same here...

[zerokiryu777]

Thats a shame to hear, but I do hope that someday someone will be able to at least decode the savefiles for some hex editing

Chinesse 3DM forums Have many mods for dynasty warriors 9 and empires but you cant download anything if you dont have chinesse phone number . they like take mods and ask for them from other people but they dont want to share .

I made 2 mods for DW8E. I remember it not being fun, but I was also a noob who had to wing it.

As other user said, chinese forums have a lot of mods. A whole lot of them that modify characters' movesets, and unfortunately they're not accessible to us. However, there is the Extreme Mod, which basically makes AI do EX attacks whenever they block...

I just want a way for us to hex edit the save file, sad

We will have to wait, maybe Van (responsible for DW8, and ROTK editing tools I think) will develop some modding tool for DW9E.

Mods started coming out in earnest just before release of 9E for 8E so i'm very doubtful you'll see them any time soon.

Been checking his site every now and then since the game was release, seems like he has no interest in doing one for DW9 since he didnt make one for DW9, but hopefully one day he will since he still use the website recently

Hopefully when the full english version is out, there will be more people attempting to mod the game

[zerokiryu777]

Just wanted to leave this here, there's no need to decode the save files like in DW8E, you can straight up use any editor like HxD to see your save files and hex edit from there. Tested it just now and managed to swap the voices around.

Dynasty Warriors, at least for this game and it's future titles will not have mod support.

And even if an attempt was breached like there was with 8E, you could only really edit the AI or movesets.

Texture modifications aren't classified as mods in my opinion.

i somewhat manage to mod the game(same method use to mod nioh 2) but its all kinds of limitations

[HaoleDonburi]

The only mods I can foresee in the immediate future on our Western side is turning エメベアー's & killer's findings into a program rather than using a hex editor. More limiting, but easier for most others to do the simple stuff.
