About texture moddings

[Ein-SAT]

Hi folks, i've been looking for a way to mod the game, at least changing the textures of the game. However even that simple task is not as simple cause there are barely any mod for this game and its modding community is quite silent. There's a guide on how to do texturing using VCtool on this forum but its super vague and the author didnt reply to anyone with the same question of how to use that tool. So i'm wondering if anyone else know how to extract, edit and compile the textures for Valkyrie Chronicle. Please responds to me asap by commenting or adding friend/discord, i'd like to know because i have artistic skills and i would love to edit the appearance of the game a bit

If the game can run in DX9 you can use Texmod.

If you wanna see how something will look like in 3D you could use NinjaRipper to rip the current scene in 3D (alongside textures), separate the mesh in Blender and then use either Blender or ArmorPaint to texture the thing in 3D. NinjaRipper is paid, but you can find it out there. ArmorPaint is paid as well, unless you compile it yourself from the Github page.
If you just want to add a basic logo or change colors, ignore all of this and just use GIMP/MS Paint/Photoshop to edit the textures dumped with Texmod.

Oh, and as for VCTool? It's no different from other things Fluffy has made, I'm guessing. Just put the batch files and exe into the game's root and run the extract.bat file. Just had a look at that, but I haven't tried it myself.

I actually downloaded that tool, what i did was drag the htx/mtx files into the VCtool and it'll create the extracted folders, but after that idk what to do, since dragging either the modified folder or the original file into any of the 3 exe wont do anything for me

I don't have the game downloaded atm, but I can go and download it and take a look at it.
In the meantime you could try out the command line and see if that works, if dragging didn't work.

- Use it in command prompt (ie, "vctool -x valcA02aD_h.mlx" to extract, "vctool -r valcA02aD_h.mlx" to replace)


Open the CMD and then just type "cd" and copy-paste the path the folder VCTool is in, again it should be the game's root. Then you can try using the manual command to repack.
If that doesn't work either, then idk. Might be your AV or just WD as a whole blocking it. I'll look at it once it's downloaded.

Ok thz dude, pls look at it for me, im not rlly a tech savvy so all this is a bit confusing for me. The rar folder for the vc tool i downloaded from one of the guide page have the extract and replace exe along with it but doesnt do anything for me, so i might have to cmd it manually

[Ein-SAT]

ok, thx to your help, i managed to put one folder into the game, it seems like the replace function didnt work from the program the creator made, but it could be just my pc, manually input the code seems to work

i managed to change the character portrait, as same as the UI, however whenever i touch wepaon/vehicles textures then the game kinda just crash, do you have any decent program for editing dds images? cause currently i dont rlly have any clean way except using paintnet

No clue what the crash could be, game's still downloading for me, as my internet is trash.
If you don't have Photoshop you could use the standalone texture converter from nvidia.
