Wiki is still very much a work in progress. If you have knowledge to contribute, especially with regard to mod creation or installation problems, any help is appreciated.

>>6467205
How do you lower the panties?

>>6467213
there are mods for half-off panties

freely movable clothing will probably have to wait until next game or something, if it one ever comes out

>>6467213
It's a mod.
I'm looking for any mods that are clothing pulled down/up.
So far I only have 2 school uniforms, a loli dress and some underwear that does it.

>>6467217
there will be NO next game follow up for 3d Custom Girl

Is there a drool mod / part / add-on / whatever?

>>6467224
that would not surprise me in the least, but i heard something on hongfire about it being discussed by the developer very recently.

do you have a source for your claim?

not that hongfire is any more trustworthy but i've never heard an official statement to the contrary either

>>6467238
Yeah, but I don't know where I got mine. It was in the deadfrog torrent for sure but I don't remember which one it was. In the XP folder at least.

>>6467240
Got the character saves of these?

>>6467224
What made you think so?
I doubt TechArts would create a brand just to release one game.

>>6467238
there are many mods for liquid which you could probably use for drool.

you could use tmoproportion to shrink the liquid if it's too big

http://3dcustom.ath.cx/rails/tags/189
^tag for liquids/juices, some contain semen

i can't say i've ever seen drool myself.

>>6467250
nope

they don't look too hard to make with the mods i have, though

but i'm not that free-handed atm

why doesn't noko stick in the e-mail field anymore?

i took a relatively long break from this website. before i stopped frequenting it didn't do this.

>>6467273
I remember one of the blushing types having a drool option.

>>6467260
this game came out in 2008 right? its been three years and there hasn't been any news about them making a sequel, and TechArts only made 2 games, besides, the have heavy competitors like illusion adopting customizable girls like they did but has great graphics than cartoonish style 3d Custom Girl has

>>6467349
>great graphics than cartoonish style 3d Custom Girl has
Where by "great graphics" you mean "the best possible imitation of pig disgusting women"?

>>6467361
well, there is that Schoolmate 2 game they released recently, other than that, what would we expect if there will be a 3d Custom Girl 2 out there that someday will surface

>>6467349
TDCG gives 3-5 times the freedom of any illusion game, including AG3, and i hate illusion graphics with the exception of schoolmate games(which was vastly more restrictive than this game) and possibly the upcoming charcolle(which may outstrip this game, depends on its moddability)

what this guy said >>6467361

i actually came to this from playing illusion games.

i'll pretty much never get over the fact that i can't create my own animations(without great effort) in illusion games.

that's why i'm looking forward to seeing charcolle.

but given that illusion games have never really been about ultimate freedom and control, and charcolle isn't really advertising that either, i doubt i really have much to look forward to

こんな装備で大丈夫か？

>charcolle

is this some custom girl game like 3DCG?

Hello guys I'm new and this threat caught my attention. But I'm new I really don't get this wiki stuff and torrent stuff. Can someone be kind enough to break it Barney style for me? Or at least show me what I need to download and how it works. Please?

>>6467407
it's advertised as being a game where you can take copyrighted characters and pose/animate them.

i don't think much has been revealed as to how customizable the game is going to be.

however, the game's basic graphics are far more in the vein of this game than any other illusion game has been(schoolmate/SM2 were close, but arguably more realistic).

so the answer is:

graphics: yes
gameplay: we don't know yet... i think, i'll go check again. you can animate stuff, though. but you can do that with this too using MMD, which will probably be considerably superior to whatever they come up with.

>>6467407
this is the HP
http://characolle.illusion.jp/index.html

3DCG has gotten the most faps in a long run.
SM2 is -slowly- catching up.

For Illusion games,
Rapelay was meh. Penis sticking out everywhere wasn't appealing either.
SM1 did better. Homemate was also decent.
Yuusha and Real Kanojo were horrible imo.
Sexy Beach never appealed to me.
I'd love to explore the LoveDeath games some more from their TeaTime branch, but they fry my Faptop a bit too much.

Now if they made a game with SM2 graphics, the huge customization of 3DCG (and plentiful mods, thanks). It'd be the best h-game ever for me.

>>6467417
I'm sold.

>>6467420
hmm... i have to agree that i liked SM2's graphics the best of all illusion games so far, but i think that was more or less due to graphical effects rather than anything else. SM2 has this blurriness about it, and if it didn't have that i don't think it would look quite as good as it does.

tdcg does a better job of staying true to typical 2d graphics, if you care at all about that.

but i agree that the most important thing is that sm2 and illusion games in general lack in customizability and, seemingly, modding community. then again, i have explored the jp TDCG modding community far more than the illusion one.

however, i've never seen mods for an illusion game that impress me nearly as much as the applications i see in 3dcg in terms of convenience or effect. i'm referring to tmoproportion and MMD's use here. i consider sb3utility to pretty much be the illusion modding community's crowning achievement(darkhound's illusion morpher running second), but while it's a great tool, it's equalled or surpassed in overall convenience by tdcgexplorer.

sometimes i wonder why the developers of these games don't include their own versions of these third party programs in their releases. not enough money for it i guess. i don't think there would be many legal issues in it, and i doubt the modders would request much monetary compensation even if there were considering they do it for free.

>>6467417
........... ok, so how does that game go?

>>6467480
as far as i know:
you pick your character, and then pose/animate it. that's it.

i imagine there will be clothing customization and an h-mode(but no h-mode is advertised)

there is a trailer or two on youtube

>>6467446
>tdcg does a better job of staying true to typical 2d graphics, if you care at all about that.

Wait, there is a two dimensional custom girl, too? Where?

so the install order for this is:

3D_Custom_Girl_complete_iso
3D Custom Girl SP1.rar
TDCG_sp2
TDCG_sp2r1
TDCG_XPr1
TDCG_XPr2
TDCG_XPr3

right?

>no h-mode

why even bother getting it anyway, however, we should be looking forward to this and let see for ourselves what it would be

if this is tdcg, it seems like it has photoshop assistance or that it's an artist tracing

finally found it

someone asked for an eas(pretty cure) mod a few threads back

there's one in XPC02035.zip. picture related.

seems like it could be improved on a little bit... he got the jacket right, though.

the pants are a little too big too, but creating hot pants is pretty simple

>>6467630
>the pants are a little too big too, but creating hot pants is pretty simple
something like this
the texture is obviously off, but you could copy the texture from the jacket and it would probably fit

so is >>6467566 right or not?

NSFW
someone was asking about bodies that aren't shiny earlier?

>>6467690
looks right. it's been forever since i installed it.

if you look at the old thread the guy who made the megaupload file talks with somebody about it.

>>6467420
I couldn't fap at SM2 since the guy model keeps staring at camera/me.

I liked SM2's graphics better though, same with SM1. Their skins aren't shiny.

Are there any mods for multiple girls to be in the same shot?

>>6467685
The Kaguya Nanbu one is good too

>>6467722
while in pose mode, hold ctrl+click on a save

>>6467720
whether skin is shiny or not depends on the mod you use.

i can definitely see preferring sm2's graphics no matter the case, the shadows/shading are pretty much just flat out better. unfortunately it's way too limited. and i suppose i do prefer sm1's/tdcg's art style, it's closer to 2d(vn/manga/etc).

Is it true the expansion pack includes everything in SP1, SP2 and SP2r1? I checked easymodo and I couldn't confirm it. I'm asking because I can't get SP2 to install, it says something about ObsDX9.exe, and yes, I'm running SP2 from the same directory, everything has administrator privileges, etc.

>>6467752
http://3dcg.wikia.com/wiki/Known_Installation_Problems
might help

>>6467762
unfortunately it doesn't, but a comment in the deadfrog page says the xpack does include everything in the service packs. so i'm gonna try it anyway and see if it's true

>>6467772
okay. wish i could be of more help.

i'd appreciate it if you wrote a note about it on the wiki if it works.

>>6467752
Yeah, I installed XP without SP1, 2, etc and it worked fine.

confirmed, the xp pack does include the stuff from sp1+2 (proportion controls) and I just noticed the wiki does say this, in the page about installing

>Any pre-XP version can be upgraded straight to XP without any intermediate patches.

i should have looked better

>>6467857
i'm pretty sure the guy was careful to include exact instructions in the readme too...

i suppose he'll see this tomorrow if there's a problem.

>>6467720
>I couldn't fap at SM2 since the guy model keeps staring at camera/me.
That's their anti-piracy thing.
Hongfire has a patch for it.

>>6468174
Oh wow. Seriously?

I wish they released the Suou, Nadeko and Yume Nikki mods.

As for SM1, where art thou, Maid Saber mod? ;_;

I still don't understand how to locate certain mods and such, there needs to be mod packs of single parts (one for bodies, one for hair, one for socks, shoes, hats, etc)

or i'm just retarded and am being too lazy to figure it out.

to whoever was looking for strike witches mods...

may be helpful

they contain pretty much every trick and source i use(along with the links section), although understanding japanese is still an advantage

>>6467566
>>6467690

Guys, really, stop over thinking this and just follow the instructions.

-Install the iso.
-Extract the "required files" to the install directory.

That's it.

There is no "install order", there is no more applying patch over patch - that's why we have the install package.

Also, note to OP: I would change:
>NSTALLATION TORRENT(read comments for instructions)
to
"Installation Package (read ReadMe for instructions"

While it does have the torrent in it, calling it a torrent is a little misleading.

i still think this has got to be the most annoying thing i've ever seen in my life

>>6468262
OP
You're totally right. Apologies for my incompetence, I simply copypasted too much text and it ended up looking like that. Changing the template now.

>>6468287

No problem.

Since we're both here (again), have you tested whether or not the expansion (XP) includes all of the SP updates?

If that happens to be the case I will remove the SP files from the package, since there'd really be no point in having them and re-upload for the next thread (also fixed 1 miswording in the readme I missed).

Could use a re-up anyway since it seems to have hit the download limit. Maybe I'll upload to MF later...

for those of you who understand shader files(and probably japanese... although i could translate the menu you for, most likely), tac00023 contains a shader editor. just glancing at it, it seems like it might be pretty useful.

>>6468301
I think this guy's posts answer your question. Correct me if I'm wrong.
>>6467752
>>6467857
My answer to your question is that no, I haven't personally tested them yet, but judging from the above, it seems they do.

As I stated before, I don't have a spare system to test something like that on, but I could probably manage something if it's still necessary.

>>6468323

I'm not loading 3DCG in psych class with two full rows behind me - but I can try it out later tonight.

I know the proportion controls are one thing to look for, but I'm fairly sure there were other changes/bug fixes and I want to be sure XP included this also before I omit them from the install package.

Getting close to done with the first "recommended mod" package also, just need to finish that one .tah I was trying to get yesterday and figure out some stuff with followingeye.

>>6468349
That would be good.

I still haven't gone to sleep yet, and I have my hands full with the wiki, mod searching, and other(real) responsibilities I have. I'll probably be going to sleep soon, and I suspect that by the time I wake up it'll be your night, so it seems like that'd work best.

>>6468349
I do have a bit of an idea as to the recommended mods thing, though.

When I download a mod and unzip folders, I usually dump the sample pics into a folder as they are. I didn't start doing this too long ago, but I have a decent collection of sample pics from zip files.

I'm considering uploading that folder so that people can take a look at what I've downloaded and possibly make requests for stuff they want in the file. It'd be/feel easier than picking out mods at random if people actually looked at the stuff and found things they liked.

I suppose I could go for awhile just picking out things I like out of my collection as well, though.

>>6468379

That would be fine - my only real concerns are that the mods be of a good quality, complete (meaning not shoving in 3 parts of a 4 part project and calling it finished) and things that people actually want.

Obviously tastes differ, but anything that looks to be popular here and meets the other to criteria is good enough for me. I just want to be able to compile it all into one easy to use (well annotated) distribution rather then having people jumping through hoops to find things like we were yesterday.

Like I said, if we could get one such package a month out I don't think that would require a vast amount of work (took us a few hours last night to get 90% of the work done, now it's just me being anal about things) - I think that would be a pretty good way to keep interest up/new things coming.

/g/ here
stop posting on our board
get a girlfriend if you're that into girls

>>6468410
Agreed on all points. That's why I proposed the idea. Posting a folder that showcases things I have in my collection for people to pick things out of gives us a better idea of what people want(assuming they actually look and respond).

One thing I can absolutely recommend is the background set that have names starting with custom_. They're probably the most well-made backgrounds in TDCG.

>>6468174
Thanks. Installed the latest HF patch and the guy no longer stares at me.
That was pretty hilarious.

>>6468425

Man, do I love the Japanese!

>>6468901
no i mean a hard save image. i don't care for mods, i just want that selvaria.

>>6469124
the mod is selvaria and contains a selvaria save.

the selvaria save itself is too big for me to post here.

>>6469135
oh, ok. found it on http://www.deadfrog.us/entry.html?id=13927&show_all_files=1 but looks like it needs some external mods too.

the hair and body weren't changed with the included saves, so since i had a loli character active before, i ended up with dfc selvaria in a wig.

>>6469213
nsfw, nude selvaria save, should let you load the whole model combined with the normal save

>>6469039
say, is that meer available?

>>6469407
yes

i dont know how

apparently he didnt want that pack distributed outside japan

i cant find any of the others in it

thanks.

well, i'll take your word for it.

i might be going to sleep very shortly, but if i can't do it for you before i do i'd be willing to do it and post it here after.

what do you want?

>>6469758
Just a few custom mods if you would. Is there some type of catalog or website I can look at to pick out certain parts? (like hair, outfits, eyes, ect.)

thank you.

>>6469780
no, not really anything with images that i can think of off the top of my head. and we're only now working on stuff in english; it's all in japanese

i was thinking you had a specific character in mind or something

polite sage

>>6468629

Several of those files are no longer hosted on MF. Would you happen to know an alternate source or have copies of that? I hesitate to put it into the mod pack if it's not complete.

>>6468629
>>6470582

Nevermind, I found the source page (which actually has a few new ones) - I'll grab them, test and add to the pack if they're decent, since we don't really have any backgrounds. They do look good from the screenshots.

Check out my tripple post.

Question for you all - how big do you want a single mod pack to be?

Should I vary it depending on the content available when I feel like releasing? Not release until a certain point? Only release after a certain point?

If I put everything I'd like to put into this one we're talking nearly 800megs at this point - I'd been aiming for closer to 600 originally. So what do you all want?

Also, dear god I can't make this one damn .tah work. Have 3 hardsaves, want the bodies in a single .tah that shows as one body with 3 options... If anyone wants to take on a small project I'll gladly post the 3 bodies... Please... (Nothing fancy, just the .tah, a small image to go with it so we know what it is, etc. etc. Done properly, but not fancy.)

>>6471066
Two 500mb could be an alternative.
Character Pack and General Pack.

>>6471091

There are no characters in this, this is a "mods" pack. I can generalize it a little more and start including characters also if that's what you all want though. I had been considering putting in the Touhous, since they seem popular.

>>6471121
I agree with >>6471091
The standard pack should only include general purpose stuff like clothes, etc.
Character specific mods and other specific one-off use mods should be in another pack.

>>6471652

Alright, someone else will have to handle the characters pack then, if we're going to have that. Shouldn't be overly difficult, as those are just hard saves. Drag & Drop.

Still testing this package out, and would like answers to questions in >>6471066 . Otherwise I'll just set it up however I like and you all can deal with it. (Depending on how the thread goes you can probably expect a release sometime tomorrow, unless I'm lazy.)

>>6471788

For a game with dozens of gigs of content another 200mb never hurt anyone.

Go for it, man.

a character pack could probably just as easily be a mod pack in itself.

there are a lot of copyrighted characters in existence.

in terms of getting the community actually doing something, i think a mod application pack would be most beneficial, but i suppose that should wait until we have some decent explanations of how to use the apps on the wiki.

>>6472477
and by that i'm referring to the point that many characters have their own tah packs. e.x. SRW characters, the RO priest, etc.

as i have said in the past, many of the best mods are characters/character clothing, and packing characters in one pack and their mods in another would be redundant.

to those of you who don't like the voice, there's a tah which changes the voice in tim0774.zip. you could probably open it with tahdecrypt/tdcgexplorer and replace the sound files too.

also, there's a .ini file with a ton of settings changes(such as changes to bloom, motion blur, etc) in tim0780.zip. going to go on the jp wiki later and see if it includes all of them.

>>6473765
Any idea of tim0780 includes antialiasing settings? (VM, so I have little control machine wise.)

So my parameters for the mod pack have changed a bit. Size limit is 1Gb, probably wont release with less than 600Mb. - So expect something in that range.

Character saves will be fine if they're *really* popular, aka: Touhous - but character .tahs will be preferred over saves. The majority of content will be general mods, bondage gear, swimsuits, loli bodies (3, in this pack so far - finished the .tah I was trying to get right - following eyes still included/working), etc.

>>6473815
so you want me to post more mod info, then?

as to antialiasing, this set of options seems to at least contain it:

[GLOBAL]
UseEffect=1
AlternativeDepth=1
AllowAntialias=1
BugFixMode=0
SkipShaderOptimization=0

>>6473815
>loli bodies (3, in this pack so far - finished the .tah I was trying to get right - following eyes still included/working), etc.
i'm taking it that what i told you didn't really work out, then.

could you post how you did it? you might have a different method.

>>6473925
Yes, definitely post more info - it won't be making this pack, but I guess it's not to early to start building the list for the next.

>>6473935
No no, it worked splendidly. I only counted that as one body, despite it having 3 options. I replaced the single body .tah that was posted with that one - since they're the same default body and the following eye works with both.

So now we have that, the second loli body with following eye - and then the body you posted last thread as a recommendation for the modpack (the mod450's one).

So I guess you could really say 5 bodies, but 3 .tahs.

>>6473765
whats the rar number for that shirt?
didn't see anything football related in the catalog

I'd like to request a few hardsaves from this thread, Kud, C.C and bakeslut if at all possible

I apologize if this seems abrupt

>>6473976
okay.

if it's not going to make this pack then i'll just take a bit of time and create some individual saves so that whenever you're ready, all i'll have to do is look them up and post.

i wonder if there's an easy method of adapting mods for characters with breasts(and vice versa)... there are a lot of mods which only work one way.

does anybody know if spoilerized files show up on easymodo?

i've never noticed either way

>>6474099

Yes, they do. Although just as the thumbnails obviously, so no pulling old saves off easymodo.

>>6474007
they're mostly contained in xpc01967 & 1962, if i remember right

>>6473996
i'll see if i can find them

the guy actually put his CC mod up for purchase, but it's listed under http://3dcustom.ath.cx/rails/tags/273

mod0424 is the bakemonogatari mod

i don't think there's a hard save

>>6474249

Damnit I want that girl in your pic.

>>6474275
unfortunately, i'm pretty sure the guy who posts those pictures on futaba keeps that girl and her mods entirely to himself.

this guy too.

i've got a sizable number of mods picked out now, this time almost solely from the shirt, pants, and whole body sections.

i wanted to ask to be sure: you're keeping track of which mods have been used thus far, right? and i've pulled the 3d Custom Shoujo mods out of my arcs folder, but i think i may still have some mods that overlap with the mods in it(because i put the 3DCS Mods pack into a separate folder inside the arcs directory, there may be duplicate files).

if you have a good way of checking for that, that would probably be best, since i don't think we want any mods we include in the pack to be in the "shoujo mods" pack as well and i won't be redownloading the mods myself.

>>6474449

Yes, I've stored all the xpc/mod/etc. #s and such, and they're all included in the readme.

What I'm debating right now is if I want to:
1. Extract each xpc/mod/etc. to it's own folder, and include them all in the arcs folder.
2. Extract each xpc/mod/etc. to a "3DCG jp Mod Pack 1" folder, and only include the .tah files.

Opinion? Alternative? My one requirement is that whoever downloads only need Drag & Drop the arcs folder into their 3DCG directory for everything to work.

>>6474449

Also, I'll do a check for duplicate files. Obviously if two .tahs contain a like file I can't do much about it, but if we have two identical .tahs I'll find it.

currently uploading a zip file containing hard saves of the items i picked out. it's about 13mb.

i'm probably not going to go through with the idea to upload a file containing the preview images of mods i've downloaded. i checked the size after organizing them and it's about 300mb, and i don't think many people are going to want to dl a file of that size for that purpose.

>>6474532
the second idea sounds better to me.

>>6474592
that's fine. having duplicate tah files isn't really going to hurt. if someone's really concerned about it they can use a program to search for duplicate file names or something.

where can I find some of these multiple girl poses?

>>6474723
ttp://up1.3dcustom.net/TAPuploader/upload.html

also, this is another thing we might want to make a pack for.

it'd be much easier(if possibly more time consuming), as well.

http://www.mediafire.com/?9bt6tvga4xg93se

these are the mods i've picked out so far for inclusion in a pack. the zip only contains heavy saves with one example of a garment(sometimes with a body), but you can see what they look like.

if those are satisfactory/enough mods, i'll leave it at that. i don't really mind finding more/picking some out from other categories.

>>6474795
oh, and if i were to describe it, it's a pack for general clothing. there are a couple of risque things in there, but it's mostly stuff like skirts/shirts/uniforms.

>>6474795
are they normally that short or is there some proportion mod going on

>>6474805
probably tmoproportion, but it could just be the camera as well. there are some bodies which start out shorter/taller than others too.

i'd say the default bodies are of average height.

>>6474795

Nice, I'll take a look as soon as I finish here.

Next question, if a mod contains only a hard save - do you want it left in the original form as a hard save or should I make a .tah out of it?

>>6474795
these aren't .tah files. how do i use these?

to the person who was asking for the girl in the OP pic of the last thread, i think i found that i actually do have a mod for her. if you're still around, i'll make sure i do and post it if so.

>>6474858
that's a complicated question to answer, because sometimes it's difficult to know whether there is already a tah for the character in existence.

having duplicate tah files is not particularly harmful and easy to solve, but we don't really want to create duplicate mods for characters with different names and different slots.

i would say that so long as it's beyond reasonable doubt that the character has no tah file(like one of the ar tonelico characters, if i remember right), go ahead and make a tah out of it, if you're willing to do so. assuming we ever get people with the ability/will to mod, it'll remove an extra step for them. making it easier to use tahhair to get full colors for the hair color it contains is another plus.

if anything, i suppose the best solution would be to post a save of the character(if it's too big, make it a normal save) and we can discuss whether it has a tah already in existence or not.

>>6474897
>the zip only contains heavy saves with one example of a garment(sometimes with a body), but you can see what they look like.
they're just heavy saves so people can preview what i've chosen so far for the next pack. tah files(the actual mods) will be included in the next mod pack we make.

if you want to download them now, i suggest following the directions in
http://3dcg.wikia.com/wiki/Reverse_Lookup%28mods%29
to find the actual mod files.

>>6474912

This is the file in question, from:
XPC01738

One of the dresses you recommended. There is no .tah, it's just the hard save.

>>6474981
okay, give me a moment and i'll track it down.

>>6474981
(quickly, the answer is: try downloading XPC01734, and i'd recommend at least downloading 1721 as well)

i don't know if you've figured out how to do this or not, but just for educational purposes for anyone who doesn't:

if you have the zip file name, you can usually find related zip files. for example, in this case, the zip file contained a heavy save preview of a mod.

this doesn't always work, but looking up XPC01738 on the 3DCGMRS brings up this page: http://3dcustom.ath.cx/rails/arcs/4182

near the middle of the screen(for me) on that page, it shows related mods. it shows XPC01734.

since one mod related to another mod is often related to mods also related to said other mod, it's usually a good idea to check out all related mods of a mod as well.

in this case, clicking on XPC01734 brings up XPC01721 as well, in addition to XPC01699 at the bottom.

1699 and 1721 are old versions of the mod, but sometimes downloading them may not be a bad idea(it says that 1721 contains a bonus(omake), but 1734 makes no note of it so it may not be included)

[not trying to be pedantic or condescending here. i was planning on including something like this in the wiki, so i figured i'd write it here now since it's related and i can just put it into the wiki after some editing.]

>>6475066

Ok, hash verified that:
XPC01734
contains everything from 1721, excluding files which were updated (omakes are included).

Coincidentally, you'd already recommended 01734, so it was already in the pack.

Well, I think I'm about ready to wrap this one up. *PLEASE* consider it a beta though, based on what you all think I might completely reorganize things, add, remove, etc. etc.

All I guarantee* with this is that you can drop it into your 3DCG folder and have new stuff - take it out and the stuff goes away.

*Guarantee defined as: Promise from an anonymous user of 4chan that could disappear at any moment and there's not a damn thing you could do about it.

45 minutes, give or take, for the upload to complete.

Also, I'm out of food. What should I go get?

>>6474795
to any of you following these threads, i'm not including any more files than what's contained in this unless something is requested or the guy composing them asks for more files. so if you want something not in here, speak up, but please keep it general(i.e.: lace bras).

>>6475192
good. did the zip file contain some tutu-like dresses or just the long ones with an opened front?

>>6475326

It has both. I like this pack actually, really nice dresses.

Also, for anyone using these packs, be sure to check for variations! When you click the main icon for something it almost always loads several different variations of it. In some cases a 50 item gallary might only have one actual icon.

i uploaded a similar file in a previous thread, but this contains all of the .cs proportion files that i use.

there are a lot of them, and their names are not descriptive; i highly suggest sorting through them to find what you want using tso2pmd and NOT tmoproportion, as seeing what each does for yourself with tmoproportion will take forever.

just put whatever .cs files you want to use in your proportions folder and they should be good to go. i don't really recommend running tmoproportion with all of them in your proportions folder at once; the program loads slowly and changing poses will take longer.

please let us know when the upload is complete

>>6475564

Of course.

Assuming it doesn't drop again, 20 minutes.

Alright, here we go:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=X0OHIQST

Decided to go with my initial aim of around 600Mb. Could have filled it with another 100 megs of Touhous...

Anyway, please let me know what you think, what needs to change, be added, removed, etc. etc. I still have the source files and fully intend on a v1.0 of this release, after making whatever changes you all think you might like.

Again this is a BETA. If I hear "You mean I have to download that AGAIN?!" later...

downloading, will check back with results

>>6475734
thanks for the work.

add it to the wiki under character creation(i'm assuming you'll have notes to write about it or something--i can do it if you want) and/or mods.

if we're going to continue doing this, it might be a good idea to make a page for "recommended mods" or "mod packs".

also, i'll probably include this in the next one.

i don't think it's a particularly good mod as it stands, but it's the only shirt(or garment period) i know of that doesn't mold around the breasts. if it was retextured and possibly remodelled a bit(it's a little big, i think, but that's not really one of my complaints with it), it would be a good addition to the game.

>>6475780
>if we're going to continue doing this, it might be a good idea to make a page for "recommended mods" or "mod packs".

Just my personal, but I would leave them here personally. It's a /jp/ mod pack, leave it for /jp/. Your call though, if you think they'd be better there.

The only one that I ask does stay in this thread only is the install pack - if HF find it and decides they like that it'll limit out every day.

>add it to the wiki under character creation(i'm assuming you'll have notes to write about it or something--i can do it if you want) and/or mods.

Err, add what exactly? To be honest I don't have a lot to say about it. I could load in the list of contents, but the source files are already listed out in a text file... Intructions are all in the ReadMe...

I do have a slightly more explanatory working file I was using that I could load in... But it's based off the the recommendations post you made, so it's about as specific as "dresses, summer dresses, loli body, etc."

>>6475821
Hmm... well, I think I already added the installation pack to the wiki, but I'll remove it. However, I had planned to keep the /jp/ template written on there as well, and that should contain a link to the installer pack. Do you not want me to include it in the template as written on the wiki?

If you don't have anything to write about the mod pack, that's fine. Personally, I think it should be distributed as much as possible; the more people get into the game, the better. I'd like a Western modding scene; as much as I appreciate their mods, I don't like relying on the Japanese for everything.

The thing about making things only for /jp/ is that there are a lot of people capable of modding and modelling that go to Hongfire, and also that I'm of the opinion that the bigger community we can build, the better, so building interest at Hongfire was one of my goals.

Hongfire users have a pretty bad rap over here(I'm not sure if I'd want a lot of them on /jp/ myself), but they do actually produce things and have some capable modellers/programmers. I may be wrong on some of these, but I believe taanimator, tsodecrypt, tahdecrypt, and more originated from Hongfire.

If you don't want something linked on Hongfire, that's entirely up to you; please say so. If you're concerned about download limits or something, I don't mind uploading at a separate location myself.

After saying the above, I do have to recognize that we do seem to have some talented modellers on /3/ as well, but I'm not sure if they'd be interested in the game. I have a lot of ideas about functionality that could be added to 3DCG as well, which is why I mention programmers(although I'm not sure how many of my ideas are possible).

>>6475879
Looks like I actually didn't put it on the wiki. But I'm still not sure what to do about the template. I guess it's not really necessary. If somebody random makes a TDCG thread they're not likely to use it anyways.

>>6475879
This is going to be long, sorry. 1/2

>Hmm... well, I think I already added the installation pack to the wiki, but I'll remove it. However, I had planned to keep the /jp/ template written on there as well, and that should contain a link to the installer pack. Do you not want me to include it in the template as written on the wiki?

Since the wiki wasn't even started before these threads, and you seem to be doing all the work I'm going to assume it's really a /jp/ thing anyway. So if you'd like to keep the template there with the link included that's fine. I'll just ask that you not directly link it on HF. If you would like to upload it somewhere else and provide HF with that link, I would have no objection to that.

>Personally, I think it should be distributed as much as possible; the more people get into the game, the better. I'd like a Western modding scene; as much as I appreciate their mods, I don't like relying on the Japanese for everything.

You have loftier goals than myself, but that's fine. Personally I won't be venturing outside of this thread, but if you'd like to feel free. I will admit some decent things (schoolmate 2 HF patch, for example) have come out of HF, much as I dislike the community. So as I said, if you deem it appropriate to share the mod packs outside of this thread I wont object.

That being the case, I'll leave it to your judgment, but recommend that if you do share something with HF you wait for the final versions before doing so - just to keep things simple. Again though, your call.

>If you don't want something linked on Hongfire, that's entirely up to you; please say so. If you're concerned about download limits or something, I don't mind uploading at a separate location myself.

I appreciate the consideration - but you've put in at least as much effort as I have towards the release, so I'm certainly willing to compromise a few points. - And you provide actual arguments instead of unfounded statements, which is refreshing to say the least.

>After saying the above, I do have to recognize that we do seem to have some talented modellers on /3/ as well, but I'm not sure if they'd be interested in the game.

Well... it couldn't hurt to throw it there I guess. I certainly wouldn't pester them about it, but a mention or two couldn't do any harm.

>>6476015
I'll try to keep this short since it seems you're not overly concerned about the HF idea either way.

>I will admit some decent things (schoolmate 2 HF patch, for example) have come out of HF, much as I dislike the community.
Well, if we branch outside of TDCG, it looks far better for them. I don't know if you've had much experience with Illusion games, but sb3utility was created and is maintained by a Hongfire user, and as I stated before it's a tool on a level with TDCGExplorer. DarkHound's Illusion Morpher is incredible as well, if possibly hard to understand without modelling knowledge.

>>6476017
>Well... it couldn't hurt to throw it there I guess. I certainly wouldn't pester them about it, but a mention or two couldn't do any harm.
I mentioned it because I was talking about HF as if it's our only chance for people capable of modding, and seeing some of the things /3/ people make(supposedly), it'd be great if there were interested people. Also because I've been thinking about it and I'm not really sure how I'd go about trying to get /3/ interested yet, much less a programming board.

>>6476015
I'll try to keep this short since it seems you're not overly concerned about the HF idea either way.

>loftier goals
I suppose it's a little foolish to try to push it when almost everything is in Japanese, but I'd like to see if the community can be made into something better. That's the main reason I'm interested in building things in English(like the wiki and a new mod catalog) and making things more readily accessible(the mod packs). I think the main thing that keeps people who would otherwise be interested from getting into TDCG is a lack of accessibility.

>I will admit some decent things (schoolmate 2 HF patch, for example) have come out of HF, much as I dislike the community.
This is getting kind of off topic, but bears mentioning. If we branch outside of TDCG, it looks far better for them. I don't know if you've had much experience with Illusion games, but sb3utility was created and is maintained by a Hongfire user, and as I stated before it's a tool on a level with TDCGExplorer. DarkHound's Illusion Morpher is incredible as well, if possibly hard to understand without modelling knowledge. Unfortunately, I don't think they're the type to be interested in this, but I imagine there are more people on HF with talent that are(as evidenced by some mods produced there--but it seems most of them found interest lacking so stopped).

>>6476017
>Well... it couldn't hurt to throw it there I guess. I certainly wouldn't pester them about it, but a mention or two couldn't do any harm.

Looks like I failed at brevity.

>>6476253

Well, a thread isn't a bad way to start. For example, I never would have touched world of tanks if I hadn't seen Mio on the side of a panzer.

Of course, images also tend to be more powerful than words, especially when no one is reading the words... We should probably both keep that in mind. Conveniently censored pic related by default.

That bondage gear has been rather enjoyable.

>>6476435
i have a tendency to write a lot more than may be necessary, so i have a lot of experience with the idea of needing something more than writing.

i'll probably lurk /3/ a little bit, and maybe see if i can't at least get good responses if i ask for .x versions of models or something. not sure how reserved people there are with their models.

all i want for this game is a proper mod catalog with categories, tags, thumbnails and descriptions. I wonder if something like this is even possible

>>6476456
i really like the chest part of it. i'd like a version of it without the lock as well, though(but i think i could just edit an alpha channel to fix that if i really wanted it).

also, i thought i mentioned this before, but i've mostly stopped posting hard saves because i figured it's probably better if i just post images rather than saves which it's not unlikely no one will use since saves are often 10+ times the size of most images.

almost all of the images come from my downloaded mods folder, so it's likely i'll have anything in the picture.

>>6476906

Not really possible since new mods come out for this game on a daily basis. And with the thousands of already existing ones, it would take an impossibly long time and amount of dedication to be thorough.

>>6476906
We should start a booru for 3DCG mods.

>>6476918
All that's necessary is a image and some text... we don't actually need to host it, we can just write down the .rar number and let the people look for it. It can't be that complicated.

>>6476952

Take a look at the torrent. There's probably 10,000 mods in there, if not more - with new ones every day. It would take months of treating it like a full time job to ever get anywhere with that.

>>6476906
it's a possibility. one i'm trying to work towards, but i probably can't do it alone in any reasonable amount of time.

anyone can help with a mod catalog. literally, all it takes is downloading a mod, opening up the TAH it contains in TDCG explorer, clicking on the model to preview it, and then writing a short description. anything whose purpose is difficult to tell can probably be filled in by a japanese speaker(me).

catalog creation is easy enough if people just write short descriptions for mods they download that aren't listed in another catalog. after that it's mostly a matter of accumulation over time.

if people post descriptions of mods they find that aren't in this catalog(http://www.megaupload.com/?d=4FL0KSWE)), i personally am willing to add them to the catalog and release an updated catalog every thread.

i have been thinking of contacting the 3DCGMRS site about making an english version, but i'm not sure how that will go, but if one was made, then given an english catalog, we would have everything you're thinking of.

except thumbnails. that might be a little hard. i don't think the japanese even have that.

>>6476963
>>6476918
The 3DCGMRS is already an excellent resource for mod information. The vast majority of mods are already catalogued there--however, their descriptions are in Japanese.

Something like this is going to have to happen over a period of time, granted. But we already have a searchable database, and we have a starting point with the current catalogs(current catalogs go up to about XPC0800).

I can tell you it's a easily more doable than those open translation projects /jp/ always has a thread about.

>>6476939
That's not a bad idea.

>>6476963
putting the file in the arcs folder, loading the game, taking a screenshot and writing 2 words about it, how long can it take? 5 minutes?
i can and want to do this

>>6476993
continuing from the last line,

but how would we go about organizing that? neither uploading nor saving images is a quick process.

personally, i don't really see thumbnails as an absolute necessity. mod files are rarely large, and previewing them after download is extremely easy with TDCGexplorer.

generally, the only files that are large enough to be inconvenient to download are body mods, and a thumbnail photo is not enough to make a judgment on whether you like a body mod or not.

Okay, since I'm fully aware that talk means little and nothing gets done in projects like this proposal until it becomes evident that someone is actually willing to do something, I'll start myself.

For the past day or so, I've been downloading every timxxxx mod in the torrent. I'll begin by posting descriptions of thus-uncatalogued mods. For now, I'll make my goal 50 by the time this thread is done(i may amend that if i find that this thread is nearing bump limit).

For now,

tim0026: A pair of baggy military camo pants.

>>6477016

>how long can it take? 5 minutes?
I as thinking closer to 2 minutes actually.

Assuming 2 minutes, rather than 5 - and let's just go with the 10,000 mod estimate, though I'm sure that number has doubled by now - you're talking 330+ hours of work. This is assuming you never ran into a mod that you couldn't figure out, etc. etc.

But if you're feeling ambitious, go for it.

>>6476981
True. There is an existing, mostly complete list...

I don't know much about Jap, so I'm not qualified to say if this would work - but what if we machine translated the list as a preliminary thing - and then edited the entries - rather than having to translate and/or build the list from scratch.

Even people who can't speak jap (myself) could assist in the editing.

Also, I love the booru idea someone posted. We could use the tagging system to reflect what the image was as well as the mods used to get it. That would be great.

>>6477024
some mods include pictures in the .rar anyway. if you're really interested in something (from the description or whatever) you'll dl and try it out anyway.

>>6477053
are you the person creating the mod packs? there seem to be two people that use proper grammar here.

as to the point about new packs coming out every day, that is really not a problem. the problem is cataloging current mods.

the issue of new packs coming out every day should be easily solvable if we have even 5 reliable people. assign 1 person to check one uploader each day, and if they go through with it(what are they looking at, dling one mod a day on average, writing one sentence for it and posting it on 4chan?), problem solved.

tim0030: 7 poses(male-only poses included), intended to be grouped together for a 7-some.
tim0031: pulled-back hair(flat texture), with a bonus hair band.
tim0032: Nanoha weapons/items: a large broadsword, some rollerskates, and armored gloves/knuckles.

Speaking of the /jp/ open translation projects, using their ideas/systems brings a bit of an ominous feeling considering their success, but...

isn't a system like they use pretty well suited for this? Have an open system where people have a line to fill in information for, and to update it all they have to do is find the mod they're looking to update, double click an entry form, and save.

Seems like it would be open to trolls, but it seems like a workable idea.

>>6477053

I'm not overly familiar with the boorus, but IMHO it sounds like the best idea so far.

You'd upload a screenshot of a mod, tag it with the mod name and some keywords, and maybe put the source into the comments for the mod name tag. Or upload a hard save and just tag it with everything you see. Easy to search...

Sure, it'd take some time to fill it up, but you gotta start somewhere.

I personally find mod catalogs, ultimately, unnecessary. I've had 3DCG since its release, for almost three years now, and I've found it much more productive to just sort through the mods myself using two of my own methods.

Once you realize that many of the mods come with sample pictures, and use certain naming schemes, it becomes very easy to find exactly what you are looking for. Recognizing a few Japanese keywords also helps a lot as well, which anyone can do even if you can't read it.

What I usually do is just mass extract a ton of mods to one location, then use windows search to do one of two things:
-Search for pictures only
-Search for certain keywords

Then after searching, if I see a picture of a mod that I like the looks of, or filename tag I'm looking for, I just right click it, and jump to its folders location. Using these methods I've been able to categorize and archive this large of a hierarchy of mods that I personally like.

You know the saying how a picture always speaks a thousand words? That is especially true in this case. There are many mods that I never would have thought to track down or even knew I would have enjoyed if I didn't see the sample pictures for myself.

>>6477094
Yeah, that one was me (mod pack guy).

>as to the point about new packs coming out every day, that is really not a problem. the problem is cataloging current mods.

I agree - I was just trying to make that point that this was not going to be a 5 minute project - and I'd really hate to see the work go into it to get it started and then people bail when they see the amount of work it will require. I think that 330 hour man-hour estimate is probably relatively accurate.

That's also why I recommended a machine translation as a preliminary thing. It's not "good", but I was able to make out what most things I was looking at were, and it would allow us to build a rough catalog very quickly, as well as allow non-Jap speakers to do some of the editing. (Anyone can turn into "bondage appliance white" into "white bondage gear".)

I really don't know about the volume of new packs per day, but I'd guess that even if it were just one person it probably wouldn't take more than 20-30 minutes a week to keep the catalog up to date, if we got 5 it would be nothing.

>>6477117
It's amazing that you could get results that satisfy you using a method like that and knowing(apparently?) very little Japanese.

There are a great deal of mods that do not come with previews, or whose previews contains a great number of things that could potentially be the mod.

There are also a large number of mods whose filenames really have nothing to do with what they do.

I'd say a mod catalog is definitely useful and worth doing. Perhaps you work well with just sorting through random things(which is half of what it sounds like you're talking about), but when I'm looking for something it's usually very specific.

>>6477053
>but what if we machine translated the list as a preliminary thing - and then edited the entries

Unfortunately, machine translation almost always wastes more time than it saves, especially for Japanese and particularly for short phrases where it's hard to determine context. It'd be faster for a few people to just go through the entire list.

A bigger issue is the fact that it's difficult to determine which edits are really correct without downloading the mod and trying it out yourself. Which is why I'm heavily in favour of having some kind of images/screenshots to go along with it...

Really, I don't think we should be aiming to completely replace Japanese mod references. I'm willing to consider an English catalog just as a list of "recommended" Japanese mods + a bunch of Western ones.

tim1619: Body with big eyes, cute? Updated version of mod0446 body or related to it?
tim1620: Body with big eyes. "Eyeline body."

Are these descriptions enough? So far, I have found that describing body mods isn't particurly easy for me. Maybe I'll take an SS of the original body for comparison and keep it open in a separate window.

>>6477118
>I agree - I was just trying to make that point that this was not going to be a 5 minute project - and I'd really hate to see the work go into it to get it started and then people bail when they see the amount of work it will require. I think that 330 hour man-hour estimate is probably relatively accurate.
I think you are severely underestimating my patheticness.

I have a lot of time to spend on this and a lot of patience to do it with.

>>6477129
Regrettably, there are very few reference ones.

And yes, we should use what the Japanese already have. That's why I mentioned the 3DCGMRS as a currently available mod catalog. Even without an English version of the site, it would be much more useful to many more people with an English catalog.

>>6477147
>Regrettably, there are very few Western mods.
Fixed

Also to help start, here is a list of available tools on the Japanese wiki.

http://www8.atwiki.jp/3dcustom/pages/86.html

as i said, i'm updating the catalog in >>6476981 with the mod descriptions that have been posted so far, including those in the link just posted.

i'll release the new catalog at the beginning of the next thread.

tim1536: A lot of screenshots of some sex scene between an orc and a fairy(Cirno?).

>>6477184

Is that one of your screenshots? I've never seen that texture of hair ever.

>>6477266
you mean texture, not color, huh...

do you mean the back or the front?

either way, it's not my screenshot, but i have the back hairstyle, and most likely the front and colors.

>>6477276
>>6477266
uh, sorry, had a foolish moment when i said something about having never seen different textures..

i have a hair texture similar to that, but not in that color.

picture is related

>>6477324

Yeah, I've already got that texture mapping for most of my hairstyles as well. Never seen that other one before though.

Working on the wiki right now...

Is this a good enough description for how to make a .cs file? It was posted in an earlier thread(I've edited it a little).

Step-by-step summary to creating a blank proportion file:

1. Copy and paste a .cs file in your Proportion folder, remember the old name
2. Rename it
3. Open the file in Notepad
4. Find the line
" public class [THE FILE NAME IS HERE] : IProportion"
5. Replace the above name inside the .txt file with the one you gave it; DONT include the file extension(.cs) and dont delete any spaces.
6. Delete as follows:
TPONode node;

[DELETE EVERYTHING HERE]
}
Note that there must is one blank line after the TPONode line and no lines before }.
7. Save. You can now use this in TPOEditor to customize your new proportion file. I suggest keeping at least one blank copy around at all times(not necessarily in the Proportions folder itself) for convenience.

>>6477378

For people who read, yes. But remember how many times had to explain the install pack, when it was just dragging a dropping a single folder?

I would recommend taking a screenshot of a prepared .cs file so people can see what it should look like.

>>6477352
it looks similar to what i posted, but a little different. i'd sum it up as less detailed with a change in shade at the end of the ponytail, i think.

is there a chance that it's a tahhair color that you've simply never seen applied to that style of hair?

tahhair has a few colors/texture sets that are unique.

i'll try applying it to that hairstyle to see if i can't find something that matches that. it might be his own custom hairstyle, though, in which case it's pretty hopeless.

>>6477394
Yeah, I was planning on that.

Explaining TMOProportion is probably going to take awhile... I've been putting it off ever since I did my inital work.

>>6477408

Oh no you don't have to do that. I don't really care for that particular hairstyle anyway, but thanks for the offer.

>>6477420
well, i was going to do it just because i don't think i've ever seen it either.

>>6477378
Nevermind, I feel like an idiot. I'll just post copy+pastable text that people can use to make one.

I really wish more of the mods that the english community had access to had better shading, lighting and texturing done. Most mods, especially the earlier ones, have just two-tone shaders with no lighting modifications. Body and hair mods like this are easy enough to come by but very few clothing mods are given the same treatment. I've have a decent amount of underwear and swimwear like this but almost no regular clothing.

>>6477577
i don't know how many mods you have, but i'll try to pick out some mods which satisfy this for the next pack. well, if you're even further along than me, that's obviously pointless, though.

could you post more examples of what you're talking about? can you do shading like that?

>>6477615

I can modify lightning and shading files, but it takes quite a bit of work if you have multiple versions/colors of the same model. The screenshot you just posted for example, and its models, are all done with two-toned shading with the exception of the body. Give me a few mins and I'll post some screenshots of what I'm talking about.

>>6477394
>I would recommend taking a screenshot of a prepared .cs file so people can see what it should look like.
How is this?

>>6477621
please do.

that's a problem i have with a lot of clothes too, but i would like to see some photos of things you approve of.

if you could, i'd also like it if you posted single hard saves of some clothes with good shading for the mod pack.

>>6477624

That looks pretty damn good. If you copy the contents of that file as a code snippet into the wiki so people can copy paste - don't think it could get any easier. Or at least, if they don't get that I'm not sure how they got their computer on in the first place.

>>6477632
i'm not requesting an exhaustive list of what you have, i'm just assuming you have a few you like which you could pick out easily, and i can't think of many models with good shading i have off-hand the dress i posted in an earlier photo being one of them(i think it fits the qualifications, at least), but that's already been included).

>>6477624
Holy shit, it's written in C#? Those who know what they're doing could do some pretty awesome things with that.

>>6477639
I think I'm just going to include a blank .cs file inside of my sample proportions folder, but I'll still include those instructions.

I'm programming illiterate, and the wiki has been giving me problems with getting the copy+paste snippet idea to work because it autoconverts the text into formatting. I'm looking for an HTML tag to prevent that, but decided to write the rest of the entry first.

>>6477651

Sadly I don't think so. I'm fairly well versed in C#, but I believe the game is looking for a very specific format and is unlikely to accept anything that does not conform to that format.

Basically you're limited to editing the objects the game already knows to look for. I don't think it will take new objects or ones that aren't formatted to its standards.

This is theory, not fact.

Okay, I'm going to be adding this to the wiki, and I would greatly appreciate some input on it. At least whether or not you understood it; preferably whether or not you were able to succeed with it. Not sure how I'm going to create an image for this one. Would anyone be capable of editing the tso2pmd program so that it's translated?

start

The biggest annoyance you will find is probably that TMOProportion only has a limited number of slots that it can display for morphing on the screen.

To avoid that, you can use another program called tso2pmd in order to change the proportions of your model. tso2pmd allows you to select any individual slider and modify it, so it's better if you have many different .cs files.

To use it, put all your .cs files into the tso2pmd Proportion folder; make sure the folders have the same files except for three specific files. tso2pmd requires three or so different files to run, which are not compatible with TMOProportion. These are patterened with the name AAA_etc.cs. Don't delete them.

Open tso2pmd. Drag and drop a heavy save into the blue field. Of the three buttons on the bottom, click the upper left one to open a viewer. Go to the rightmost tab, and you can begin changing proportions.

When you're done, click the bottom button to write out the girl. You can't use this in TDCG, but this causes tso2pmd to save the proportions you've configured in a file called TPOConfig. I believe you need to delete the specifications for the three AAA_etcetc.cs files, but I'm not completely sure.

Copy the TPOConfig file from tso2pmd into the TMOProportion folder, and as long as the .cs files specified by the file match up with what's in the Proportion folder(i.e. your tso2pmd Proportion folder=your TMOProportion Proportion folder), then PNGProportion should use the settings you saved from tso2pmd.

>>6477668
One change--
>When you're done, click the bottom button to write out the girl. You can't use this in TDCG, but this causes tso2pmd to save the proportions you've configured in a file called TPOConfig.

I am completely sure you don't need to delete those files for TMOProportion to run, so I removed that statement.

Is anyone up to posting hardsaves? I'm looking for Rin and Rider. I dredged Hongfire but I couldn't find anything.

>>6477668

>To use it, put all your .cs files into the tso2pmd Proportion folder; make sure the folders have the same files except for three specific files. tso2pmd requires three or so different files to run, which are not compatible with TMOProportion.

VM is undergoing a bit of maintenance so I can't actually try it, but that part confuses me a bit. You're saying that TMOProportion has 3 files that you should leave in its folder, rather than copy them over to tso2pmd, right?

>I believe you need to delete the specifications for the three AAA_etcetc.cs files, but I'm not completely sure.

Didn't you just tell me not to delete those?

>>6477632

Here are four body mods I took shots of, all with the lighting coming from the right. In the first, default body, you can see a very clear line that defines the transition to full lighting and full shadow. From left to right, I tried to show examples of progressively smoother shaded body mods. You can see multiple tones of color in the transition from light to shadow in those. I hope the illustration makes it understandable, because I can't do that much a better job of explaining it than this. The little color boxes I made are probably what the shader bitmap files look like.

As for hi-lighting, you see that pure white streak on the default left-most body mod? That's the hilighting. That can also be modified to look a lot smoother and blend in with the bodies color tone much more effectively, but instead it is done in a text file.

>>6477691

If you'd like to see some examples of what I consider to be exceptionally well done mods by judging their quality of texturing, shading and hilighting, you'll have to give me some time. This is especially if you want me to share the files. I have almost all the mods I like categorized and I'm the same poster as >>6477117, but only very few of them are well done so I'd have to spent time digging through them to locate them, as I'd rather not go through the trouble of creating them from hardsaves.


also I suspect that this is wtflux I am talking to in which case you can contact me easily. I am sure you know who I am. If it isn't, disregard this.

>>6477682
Sorry, I wrote that a few threads ago... I knew I wasn't writing it well, which is why I want input badly.

>VM is undergoing a bit of maintenance so I can't actually try it, but that part confuses me a bit. You're saying that TMOProportion has 3 files that you should leave in its folder, rather than copy them over to tso2pmd, right?


Written in step form(this is going to look very different):

1. Ensure that the tso2pmd Proportions folder has no files in it other than the 3 AAA_[name].cs files, which it requires to run
2. Copy all .cs files from your TMOProportion folder into your tso2pmd Proportion folder

>Didn't you just tell me not to delete those?
Don't worry about that line anymore. See >>6477676

But no, I'm not sure if you could get this from what I wrote, but I meant

"I believe you need to delete the settings for the 3 AAA_[name].cs files written inside of the TPOConfig file, , but I'm not sure."

I knew that tso2pmd writes out settings for the three files(as it does all files in the proportions folder), so I was worried that having those settings listed in TPOConfig may cause TMOProportion to malfunction if they weren't in its Proportions folder(which they can't be since they don't cause it to crash). I was too tired to test at the time, so I just wrote "I'm not sure".

>>6477720

>1. Ensure that the tso2pmd Proportions folder has no files in it other than the 3 AAA_[name].cs files, which it requires to run
2. Copy all .cs files from your TMOProportion folder into your tso2pmd Proportion folder

MUCH better. In fact, that entire thing in step form would probably be 10x easier to follow. At least in my opinion, a list is almost always easier than a paragraph (a paragraph at the bottom to explain why what you just did worked, how it worked, etc. etc. is always fine of course).

>>6477712
i understand what you are talking about; in my case it was more or less an intuitive understanding(although i'm not too sure i have a good eye for judging it), but we're definitely thinking of the same thing. the difference between a very well shaded mod and a two-tone is fairly evident, and i'll be using it as criteria for mods i select for any packs we create here.

you can have as much time as you think it takes, but that sounds a little odd to me.

to create what i'm asking for, all you should have to do is load a blank hardsave, click on a garment that you want to share, hardsave it, and post. even if you can only make a few, that would be good for now.

so long as it's a japanese mod, i should be able to find it on the 3DCGMRS or other sources just from that. are they mods you made yourself?

if i'm misunderstanding something about the way you want to select the mods or your process of doing so, take as much time as you need.

and yes, you're right.

>>6477729
Okay. I consider list forms the most concise form of instruction as well, so I'd planned to convert it to a list after figuring out whether the basic instructions were followable or not; I'm trying to do a lot of work at once right now. Thanks for your input.

>>6477740

it takes quite a bit of time to sort through all my saves... this time i found it pretty quickly, thankfully

Okay, this time it's really messy. Does it get the info across, though?

>>6477766

Thanks a lot. I know there's got to be a Rider around somewhere too, because I have her eyemask thing as one of my accessories. Hell of frustrating.

>>6477902
i'll keep an eye out for it

you can probably find it under a tag in the 3DCGMRS, i'll check in a minute

Okay, this is my shockingly atrocious image explanation on tso2pmd's critical functions and use.

I have no question that my aesthetic sense is lacking, but does it explain it well enough? I didn't get an answer for my other artistic masterpiece(>>6477848).

After this, I'll have completed the article on TMOProportion.

>>6477913

all of those mods should be related to FSN

>>6477932

don't get your hopes up, though. seems like all of them are either describes
"a certain knight"
or
"red demon"

so it's probably just saber and rin.

Thanks again

and thank God for Rikaichan for making this searching business so much easier.

Finished my download, finally. Thanks if one of you seeded like I requested.

So far I have a format for this:

[file name with uploader tag(EG XPC, tim) included, no extension][two spaces][description](if you're just going off the description of the mod, write Untested; if you can't test the mod and can't read the mod description, post it here and leave it for someone else)

The following illustrate this.

tim0036 Guro set, contains models with their limbs cut off at varying points

tim0063 Hard save with a blonde haired girl with an "Antec" headband and computer fans for hairpins, some kind of strange picture of a guy, and a computer tower.

tim0068 Scene save; skunk boy fucking a blonde haired girl?

tim0086 Dragon Quest outfit with a male mod of a guy with a cape+attached full head hood with only eyes revealed, wearing nothing else but boots and a near-speedo

tim0090 Changes TDCG loading screen to another picture, and contains omake placard items with the TDCG logo. Untested

Also,
>Failed to connect to reCaptcha
You mean I have to get off my ass, retype your damn garbage, and hunt for the fucking picture all over again?

Is there a mod for disabling the small standard poses the girl does whenever you choose different clothes? Because my girl doesn't do them anymore after I dumped a fuckton new mods.

I can't take it easy anymore because I really liked them. Now she just stands there like an idiot and starts yawning after a while. I'm offended by her behavior.

You can point anyone who asks how to get loli to this and be in good conscience. Not that you owe random people on the internet that kind of information.

Wiki girl?

>>6478036
Can't take it easy? This is serious...

I've never heard of a mod like that, but I've never had that happen to me, either, so first test by removing all but the basic tah files from your arcs folder. If it goes back to normal, it was a mod.

After that, just put them back in a large group, then progress smaller and smaller once you find a group that causes the problem until you isolate the file.

i remember somebody complaining about voices last thread

http://3dcustom.ath.cx/rails/tags/78

all contain voice mods.

it seems like the one i posted about earlier in this thread isn't shown there, though, although it only contained two voice files

>>6478081
Seems like it wasn't a mod after all, just some temporary fuck up. I tried restarting the game after a short break, and she's doing the poses again. Maybe it was some glitch from excessive mod dumping or something.

what do the custom_motion_(name here).tah files do?

too scared to try them, i don't want them to break my install

>>6478124

nothing can really "break" your install. There's only maybe like a couple mods at most that will make the game do weird shit, and even then, all you need to do is simply banish them from your arcs folder.

>>6478124
i believe most of them add a motion to gravure mode.

>>6478136
If he doesn't have toonshader, some mods may do that weird ass laggy splitscreen glitch thing.

Also fuck this captcha bullshit.

>>6477815
>>6477820

Goddamnit, I JUST woke up. My body was not ready.

Looks like the TMOProportion page on the wiki turned out pretty well, thanks for the work.

I'm assuming I'll hear a bit more about it when the mod pack makes the header, but I really could use some feedback on it. I'd like to roll out a v1.0 in the near future. - A comprehensive list of changes you would make or things you would keep the same would be great, but "Liked it./Didn't like it." is still better than nothing.

>>6478036
You probably had caps lock on. Pressing it toggles between posing and not posing when you change her clothes.

>>6467308

Any chance you can post a hard save of that?

Have I just been trolled into thinking there are other people willing to do this? All I'm doing is writing down a note here when I open up a mod, keeping a tab with this thread open. I figured people were probably being serious because it's really easy...

>>6480213
I was hoping to at least get 2 or so other people posting short descriptions for the mods they install. I know there was at least one other person who said they were willing to.


I really don't think we're looking at 300+ hours here... In the first place, that's not really a meaningful figure for the process I'm talking about(explained below), but I'd like to ask where you got the figure 10,000 from.

And consider that it -does not- take 2 minutes of your time to write down a short description for a mod you were going to test out anyways. The only thing that's changed, in that case, is the fact that you wrote a description.

Ex. you search for a Reimu mod. You were searching for it and going to install and check it anyways, right?

Literally, the only time that you can say you spent documenting it would be the time it took you to ctrl+f the mod catalog(to see if it's already documented), write

[File name] Reimu outfit

and post on 4chan. This isn't hard or time consuming(although getting it all done will be a matter of time).

Although I admit it's a bit of a disruption if you're trying to get off.

>>6480293
And if I sound up in arms about this, it's because I'm trying to get the simplicity across very hard. The actual process(beyond what you would normally do) usually takes a maximum of 30 seconds(time to check catalog+think up and compose sentence with key words).

I don't really expect anyone to spend as much time as I do(even though this is touted as the NEETest board on 4chan) or to start contributing immediately, but maybe after we see some progress in the catalog more people will be interested.

tl;dr i can't take it easy

This is the camera effect I described in the above post

>>6480293

This is where I got the number from actually, figured 4Mb was high as an average mod size, probably closer to 2-3 - but we have to take into account the iso being in that pack also. If you *really* want the math I can provide it, but it would be an utterly pointless exercise as we're both in agreement that the mods should be cataloged in English - which is the base issue. (If that reads as condescending or rude I apologize, it was not intended that way.)

Version 2 of the installation pack is just about done also. No huge changes, really just the removal of the unneeded sp files (looks like they really don't do anything after XP is installed) and some rewording. Nothing you couldn't easily edit the original .rar to reflect if you've downloaded it.

v1.0 of the mod pack will wait until the next thread I guess, to see if it gets any feedback.

>>6480369

Forgot my question.

Part of my reasoning for putting the gravure mod, toonshader2 and the Korbo save in the install pack, but leaving them in their original forms (zipped XPCs, save for the Horo save) in the "Additional Files" folder as opposed to extracting them and placing them in the "Required Files" folder myself was that people new to the game learn the installation method for both. I figure if they're going to run into trouble it might as well be at install using a pack we're familiar with and know works for easiest troubleshooting - and if they do get it the same method will apply to everything else.

Was that a good idea? Or should I just put everything into one folder, ready to go, and be done with it?

>>6480369
Okay, I was just curious if you got it from something simpler than that.

That is quite a number, but my intent was never to run at like an assignment, but to post things as they're installed and get it done over time. Of course, if no one else helps, then I'm probably wasting my time, as my progress alone vs uploaders+bloggers will probably be minimal.

>>6480380
I don't see any problem with it. Leave it as is.

I don't know if I want posts by people who can't get mods to work because they don't read the readme and thus don't install toonshader or something like that, though.

>>6480410

I oughta be an ass and rename the "base_xp.tah" to "base_xp.tah.Read_the_ReadMe!"

Then if we get any "Hey, it wont load!" we know what happened.

This is my waifu. She's not the best but I like her.

Well, I got into it, but this was all that as inside. (Yes, it was a .bmp originally, but with an abnormal header.)

I have a problem in the pose editor; I can't modify the mouth of the model, but everything seems to work fine
Maybe is the skin? I've tried several, but doesn't solve it
Suggestions?

>>6480610
i can't quite say i understand what you're talking about

the mouth doesn't move? doesn't rotate? you can't select it?

>>6480652
I can select it and rotate it but the "skin" doesn't move at all
Maybe a image will explain it better

Is this the way you should modify the expression?

>>6480700
the mouth is modified by the selectable bones under the eyes in the field above the tongue. the ones most directly above the ones you have selected there.

moving them works better than twisting them, by the way.

if you've tried manipulating every bone on that page and it doesn't work, it -could- be the body, but i've never heard of something like that.

LISTEN FOR A SECOND

I LOVE ALL OF YOU

THANKS FOR ALL THE TIME YOU'VE PUT INTO THE SHIT, I REALLY APPRECIATE IT

am i doing something wrong or is the wiki almost impossible to search? i type in "reference" to the search bar, search, and nothing comes up even though so many pages have the word "reference" on them.

we can't really expect people to read the wiki if it's not searchable.

>>6481954
you're welcome.

seeing that people benefit helps in keeping up motivation.

>>6481954

Glad to see someone is getting use from this.

>>6482259
>am i doing something wrong or is the wiki almost impossible to search?

Something's wrong, but I don't know if it's how you're doing it or if its the wiki. I can search by parent page titles only, and if I get the parent name exactly it will find it... otherwise no go.

I just tried sandboxing with a custom search script but I don't seem to be able to directly edit the wiki html - so I guess we need to look into modifying the wiki search function (or at least figuring out how it works).

superb

>>6482558

It *should* work, but I can confirm that it doesn't, not right now. My guess is that might be building the search index only once a week (together with the backups). I'll look into it...

In the meantime, you can just use site:3dcg.wikia.com in google.

I just installed the game with the instructions from the OP, but when I try to run it, I get an Obs9DX.exe has stopped working error. I tried downloading the DirectX thing from the Microsoft website, but it said I already had the latest DirectX version. I'm using Windows 7 64-bit, could this be the problem? Compatibility mode doesn't seem to help.

>>6482605
Ugh, why didn't I keep this game installed...

>>6482605

I seem to remember there being a bit... less Reimu...

>>6482775

What exactly was the process you used to install the game?

>>6482815

I downloaded the .iso, mounted and installed it, then copy pasted the necessary and optional files to the install directory, like the instructions said. I'm certain I put the .tah files in the right places, too.

>>6482824

Honestly, "has stopped working" can be a whole lot of things. If it were directx you'd be getting a more specific error from the game executable in all likelihood.

I can start running through a list of common fixes for jap programs, but no guarantees...

-make sure Jap language pack is installed and localization is set to Japan

and

-run "sfc /scannow" (without quotes) from the command prompt
-run "chkdsk /r /f" (without quotes) from the command prompt

If you're up for it, try the first. If that doesn't work, try the second. If it still wont go, say so and we can keep going. (Or maybe someone familiar with your specific problem will attempt it.)

I can tell you that I just tried it on my Win7x64 VM, which is a fresh install save for updates, directx, .net, east asian languages, etc. etc. - and it worked flawlessly.

>>6482775
>I tried downloading the DirectX thing from the Microsoft website, but it said I already had the latest DirectX version
i'm not sure exactly how notification you're talking about is appearing, but unless it completely disables you from installing it, you should install it anyways.

i solved a problem like that once in the past after i had bought my computer(this year). perhaps there was something wrong with my analysis of the situation, but i don't think it can hurt.

to be precise, my directx version already read as directx 11, and installing 9.0c despite this worked.

And if it's not clear, it may seem like may statements don't follow what I'm doing, but it was my intention to go through every timxxxx mod in the pack regardless of whether I wrote definitions or not(they aren't documented as well as others on the 3DCGMRS).

I don't really think anybody else is doing that. Any descriptions given for undocumented mods at all help.

anyone knows where to get this?

Happy fapping.

And here's Rin for good measure. There's a whole pack you can download from one of the Japanese 3DCG sites or a torrent with all their clothes and accessories too, I don't know if you'll need those to make the hardsaves work or what.

Also, it would be great if someone could post a Suigintou hardsave.

You remember what mod pack those swimsuits are from?

Couldn't find anything on the mod reference from the image name.

Sorry for being a retard, but how I do i use the rocking horse? i put the .tah file where it should be, but I can't find it anywhere in-game.

>>6485637

Those would be from mod0453. They're also included in the mod pack.

>>6485684
How do you hide the hud and which mod changes the outline color =/

Wait, I'm hella confused on what basic files I need to get to get this game running. Can anyone guide me through?

Are there any size mods for a giantess fan such as myself?

Not sure, pulled that picture out of mod0453, so it's something the author had going. Our resident mod expert might have a better idea whenever he comes around.

>>6485929

TMOProportions. I haven't tried it, but I'm assuming if you can use it to make lolis you can use it to make giants too. Instructions for its use are on the wiki (ctrl-f wiki this thread, link is somewhere).

>>6485881
install game,

afterwards, install xp
after, xpr1
xpr2
xpr3

and that's it.

do not bother with the service packs (sp1, sp2 and sp2r1) because they are included in xp 1, 2, 3

>>6485934
Well, I don't like dealing with torrents for one, and the torrent isn't working/connecting me to trackers.

>>6485947
Well, no. Close - but you're missing several files. I'm going to go ahead and recommend that you use that install package link also. You can apply it over the game even if it isn't a fresh install, wont hurt anything.

Well, this sucks. I was able to play it just fine for a while and now all of a sudden I'm getting a runtime error. My version of DirectX has not changed. Actually, nothing has changed. Just started it up today and now it won't work for whatever reason. Any ideas? Should I just try reinstalling the program?

>>6486029
Tried installing the most recent ATI drivers, and apparently they don't work at all for anyone, and now even with rolled-back drivers I can't play anything, let alone this.

Fucking awesome.

So here's the ReadMe for v2 of the install package. Look alright?

----

Installation:
-Download "3D Custom Girl.iso" from the included "Tech Arts 3D ™.torrent" torrent, mount and install.
-Copy everything in the "Required Files" directory to your chosen installation directory (default "%Program Files%\TechArts3D\３Ｄカスタム少女") replacing any file that already exists.

Additionally: OPTIONAL
-4 files have been included in the "Additional Files" folder which are required for several user modifications and saves to work properly. These include:
-ToonShader2 - toonshader2.rar - common shading mod
-Gravure - TAC1554.zip & TAC1574.zip - allows "motion" files to be used

-horo.tdcgsav.png - Horo hard save - because Horo


Mods:
-Mods (.tah files) are to be placed in your installation directories "arcs" folder (default "%Program Files%\TechArts3D\３Ｄカスタム少女\arcs").
-Note that you may create additional folders in your "arcs" folder and place the mods inside those for organization.

Saves & Poses:
-Saves (.png files) are to be placed in your "%My Documents%\TechArts3D\TDCG" folder.
-Poses (.png files) are to be placed in your "%My Documents%\TechArts3D\TDCG\Poses" folder.


Troubleshooting:
-If you get the error "Obsidian/DX9" when you try to launch the program you probably do not have the correct version of DirectX.
-Download and install the DirectX End-User Runtime from:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=2da43d38-db71-4c1b-bc6a-
9b6652cd92a3&displaylang=en&pf=true

-The skins don't appear to be uncensored.
-The default skins, which have red patches covering the crotch area instead of an actual pussy texture, were NOT removed. Additional skins were added that do have the pussy texture and various pubic hair options. After clicking on the skin you wish to use you'll notice a new bar has appeared towards the lower left of the screen, above the "Save", "Del", etc. options. This bar contains variations of the skin you chose - in this case the uncensored/pubic hair variations.


Errata:
-Note that:
-"Required Files/arcs/uncensor.tah" &
-"Required Files/arcs/auto_english.tah"
are not actually required. "uncensor.tah" contains all of the default skins with pussy textures and various pubic hair options (the originals just have red patches covering the crotch area, as the game displayed a mosaic over the crotch anyway) - and auto-english.tah contains an English version of the help menu. "uncensor.tah" CAN be removed and replaced with your choice of skin mod (or not, if you only get off on red patches) with no ill effects, as can "auto-english.tah" be removed if you would prefer the Japanese help menu.

>>6467685

Does anyone have the save for her?

>>6486199
>>6486210

Sounds awesome, thanks again for doing all of this.

>>6486199
>>6486210
if i downloaded the previous install package will i need to get this one too?

Also, I'd like to know if anyone has any recommendations for a better uncensor mod than the one I'm using the install package.

For those who didn't grab the package I've uploaded the .tah here:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=B6Q3195V

This was just one I ran across and liked - but if anyone has a better one I'm certainly willing to swap them out. (All I need is a mod#)

>>6486255

No, you wont. The only differences are:
-removed pre-XP patches, since they are included in XP itself
-fixed base hair color for "horo.tdcgsav.png"
-ReadMe updated

So, if you delete:
-base_sp1.tah
-base_sp2.tah
-base_sp2r1.tah
from your arcs directory, and use this Horo save instead of the one provided (because you ARE using the Horo save, right?...) - you'll have the same thing.

>>6486296
I think that something in the package breaks my installation.

The game works fine, but as soon as I copy over the required files I get a Runtime Error.

Pic related.

Better looking Koshi than the first one.

>>6486344

>>6486329

Either you didn't get things in your arcs folder correctly, or something is up with your directx. (The version 4.1.exe does seem to be a bit more picky than the 1.0.exe.)

Give me a minute and I'll double check that the package isn't doing anything strange - but we have had people use it successfully...

>>6486357

Yeah, just dropped the package into a fresh install as well as re-writing onto my normal one and it's working flawlessly.

Sorry to say, but it's something on your end.

>>6486357
>>6486392

I just reinstalled DirectX and it didn't help.

Is there a way to completely delete the installation aside from just deleting the folder? I don't know why it would matter, seeing as it worked before I installed the Required Files... Should I not run it until I install the required files?

This is all very frustrating.

>>6486425

You can try deleting everything and reinstalling, though I doubt that would make a difference.

Make sure your arcs folder looks *exactly* like this - and make sure that when you are copying the .exe over you are overwriting the old .exe with the one from the package.

tac2206 seems to have some interesting things, mainly the "k-type" bodies - which have 3D vaginas (instead of just textures). Two variations of the body, one for full tan, one for tan-lines across a ton of skin tones. Very well done.

Looking into dependencies/updates now (there's a lot listed on the site and I don't read jap, so...)

>>6486442
Followed the instructions to the letter, and my arcs folder looks exactly like yours, made sure to overwrite the old .exe. I even tried installing in on my system drive. Nothing worked. What the fuck.

This is the first game I've ever had this many problems with.

>>6486460
Well, I'm installing ever Microsoft Visual C++ runtime that's been released in the past five years. Hopefully this helps.

>>6486471
And of course it didn't work.

Cool, looks like I won't be playing I guess.
