yeah still not coming up, I am thinking it is an Origin thing, we on the origin side have been having problems with mods

Try placing the "BuildingGap" folder in "My Documents\CnCRemastered\Mods\Tiberian_Dawn"

That hopefully works. But as I said, I'm not sure how you install mods with Origin version of CNC.

ok thank you so once I extract them where do I put them? in the mods folder? I tried that and no luck :-(

@lee I'm not sure how you install mods for the Origin version of the game, but here are the files for the mod: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/449840053049360388/770421595561918482/2122093636.rar

Hopefully that's all you need to get it working on Origin.

I am interested in your CnC Remastered 1-tile gap mod. I am using origin tho, so how can I get it to run from origin?

@Awmuth: I found a method for loading any arbitrary stage. I can't remember if I accomplished that via file editing or memory editing.

Hey dude - had some quick questions for you about your ARCtool. I know you aren't supporting it, not asking for anything but info. Namely, how you derived that Stage 400-et-al in Dragon's Dogma are Bitterblack Isle-related. I've gotten the SBC files but I've hit a stopping block extracting/analyzing them so I'm trying other avenues now and was hoping you might be able to point me in the right direction with whatever data you found that gave that away. Thanks!

I looked at his repos and I didn't find any code for it there. I haven't gotten around to asking him.

Any luck? Maybe I need to send them another message, but they haven't got back to me yet.

I believe he hasn't posted his .tex tool yet, so you may want to contact them about it, that's what had to do.

Oh yeah, I've talked with him before about modding stuffs. I think he has his modding tools all opensource, so I can check that to see how he parses that TEX file.

Okay, will do. I'll ask the person who figured it out if they can tell me how it works. Their name is Rick Gibbed on Discord, I hear they've done work on other big games so you may have heard of them.

That's good to hear. If you're able, you could forward the specifications for that TEX variant to me. Maybe I can quickly update arctool to support that format if I know exactly what it's supposed to be.

I was able to find someone who could help and we managed to open it properly! Thanks again for your time :).

I see, so that one's a sticking point. Thanks for the reply man, and thanks for taking a look. I imagine you have other things you're already busy with, so if you're unable to , would you happen to know anyone else who would be able to look into it?

@gamesrule1124: That definitely looks like corrupt data. There were TEX formats I was never able to add support for. I assume this is one of those.

love your mods

Fair enough, though I'd be really appreciative if you'd take a look! I'd love to make the cubemaps more complex than just some white shine on metal with faint color mixed in. But I digress, I can't force you to do anything. Here's the image, I put it on imgur as hidden. Let me know if I need to change the visibility. It's in PNG format. http://imgur.com/a/z58uZoi

You could upload an image of it. But I will say that it's unlikely I'll go back to working on arctool again.

*Whether edits are made or not
Don't know how to edit a post or if I can at all, sorry about the grammar mess up.

Hey man, it's been a little while. I was wondering if when you had a spare moment, if you would be willing to look at something for me. I think I found Dragon's Dogma Cubemaps, but the ArcTool seems to unpack them improperly as a blur of incomprehensible colors. I don't think it's meant to be that way, but I could be wrong. Unpacking and repacking whether edits are made are not also causes the game to be unable to startup. Would sending a picture of the messed up image help?

If you want to see for yourself, one of them is easy to find, it's in nativePC\system\texture, and the file in question is called DefaultCube_CM.tex. Remember when we discussed the .rtex format? I wonder, since Capcom has weird naming patterns, if that stands for "Reference texture", referring to the Default Cubemap.

@FraJos: I can't remember what file that is defined in. I suggest asking people who are more up-to-date with DD modding. If you go back a page or two in this comment section, you should find a link to a DD modding discord. People there should be able to answer.

Hi Flyffy,

in Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen i want change the cost of the skills. Which files need to be modified?

Thanks

+REP for this guy. Nice trade, went first.

@Blaze: Hmm, unfortunately, I'm out of ideas. You could check out Razor's Ultimate RE6 trainer and see if that has a function for increasing Mercenaries lobby sizes or something similar.

@FluffyQuack Yeah I tried that too. Using that just gives a bunch of errors trying to start the game up, saying it cant find a bunch of files. :/

@Blaze: Sorry, but it's unlikely I'll remake the trainer for the latest version. It would involve a lot of work as the trainer is huge and I don't have good notes for re-finding a lot of the stuff I found many years ago.

You can try this: https://residentevilmodding.boards.net/thread/507/fluffy-manager-5000

That has a link with a download of an old exe for the game. You shouldn't need to replace anything else.

I remember you saying in a forum post that it'd be too much work. Which if thats true, is unfortunate, cause I'd Really like for it to work with the latest version. Someone on YT got it to work with the latest version, but it doesn't really work for me, unfortunately. And steam doesn't seem to allow downgrading, anymore

Yo man, First off I gotta say that I absolutely love the work you do, Absolutely fantastic stuff! Keep it up! ^^
I just had a question. Do you plan to update your trainer to work with the latest RE6? My friends and I would love to do more then 2 player Mercenaries, but the current version of your trainer only supports 1.0.6, and as far as I know, me and my friends would have to re-install the game to the 1.0.6 version for the trainer to work. I was just wondering if you had any plans on updating it at all to work with the latest version, Thanks!
~Blaze

Leo: Thanks for the kind words!

Hey, Fluffy. I just wanted to thank you for making the Resident Evil 2 Mod Manager and helpful video for how to install them. I was trying for about half an hour why two of my mods won't work.

I stumbled upon your video, and did what you said: Made two additional folder inside the Mod folder.

So again, thanks man! RE2 has never been this much scarier with all the zombies being Mr. X

Also, your avatar is cute and unique. That rapier wielding sockpuppet in the coat is sweet.

this man is a hero

It's called Dragon's Dogma Central

Not sure if it was mentioned before. Do you know the name of the discord? I'm part of a few of them, so I don't know if I'm already in the one you're talking about.

Colonel MKT: Thanks!

gamesrule1124: I can't remember if I mentioned this before, but there is a Dragon's Dogma discord where some do modding. So that's a possible resource if you wanna connect with more people doing DD modding.

Well, I've been trying to get ahead of them for a while now, but they don't seem to want to answer me. Thanks for the tip anyway though. We're still trying to figure things out. If we could just figure out how to access what we believe to be the shader packages and the cubemaps, I think we could do a lot for the game.

Thank you for your efforts in this community.

Wilsonso made it. He's on RE modding forums, though I'm not sure if he's still active there. He's active on Youtube, so maybe easiest to contact him through that.

Damn, thanks for looking though. Do you know where I could possibly find and contact the person who made the tool?

忍耐||炎: Thanks for the kind words!

gamesrule: Unfortunately, I couldn't find it.

Any luck?

Didn't realize comments were open. Wanted to express personal thanks towards you for making FluffyTool, as well as the mods you've made yourself. Thank you.

That'd be awesome, thanks so much!

I don't remember. The tool was created about 7 years old, so maybe the original download link died and it was never re-uploaded, but surely someone still has it. I can try to dig through old files and let you know if I find it.

Thanks for the reply. I hadn't thought of changing .rtex to .tex. I did it and it changed but Arctool told me it was an Invalid TEX file. Damn.

I found Wilsonso's shader mod and it does indeed affect the proper files, .spkg, but I can't find the actual tool for doing so itself. Any idea where I might find it? I checked the residentevilmoddingboards but didn't see it.

I can remember looking into rtex files but I don't remember converting any of them, so it's probably not trivial. I assume you've already tried this (and I assume it won't work), but you could try renaming it to .tex and see what arctool does.

When you say shader parameters, do you mean the shaders themselves? There are shader package files (I think they're in a directory called SA) and there are different shader packages for different areas. Wilsonso made a tool for extracting and repacking shader packages for Resident Evil 6. That tool probably works for Dragon's Dogma too.

We were also wondering if in your work, even though it's been a while since you worked on DDDA, if you ever came across anything like shader parameters. A person helping me with Texturing was asking about them.

Hello again, how've you been? I have another question for you whenever you get the chance. Do you happen to have any idea what .rtex is and how to unpack it? I've been working with Dragon's Dogma textures still and while looking into it with someone we found what might be cubemap, but it doesn't seem to be stored the same was as other textures.

The tool should still work just fine. The only things which could break it is a patch for DD changing the save format (VERY unlikely) or a new Windows version breaking compatibility (unlikely to happen as well).

The only thing is that I have no idea if it works with saves from Xbox One, PS4, and Switch ports. But I don't have a way to get DD save files from any of those versions, so it's not something I can work on anyway.

Hey, fluffy, have you tested out your Dragon's Dogma Save Tool recently? I have confirmed it's not working to this date. Please check your tool's comments for further details. Love what you did back then and hope to see future updates on these tools in the works!
