Tutorial Ink reshuffle v4 made by Immi

link: http://rghost.net/7BGmVZw42

Thanks to this new version of ink reshuffle we'll be able to add about 8 hairstyle per character. Things to know: Once you start using this tool you won't be able to use previous method to change hairstyles. So if you use the hair of another character or hayabusa's free slot for example, it won't work anymore. But with this new method, you won't need that anymore.

First thing before you start: you need to put the dinput8.dll file in your game's folder. Then, you need to indicate the location of the game.exe file which is in your game's folder as well.

If you're using Hotfix v4, make sure you indicate a normal game.exe to make the software recognize it.

Now, we can begin :



To add a new hair or a face (a make up for example) or even a costume, select "Asset Browser" on the top.



On the upper left corner, select "Obsolete". Remember to always select "obsolete" before swapping any file. These are the files unused by the game so we can use them safely.



Now just select a random file in the left window and then click on "Pick file" in the back right corner. Pick the TMC file of the haircut you want to add.

Here I'll add a hair for Honoka.


Before clicking on the "Swap" button, you need to select "tmc hair" next to Pick file. Then, you can click on "Swap".

Now, do the same for the TMCL file. So, you pick a random file, you select your TMCL file, but this time you select "tmcl hair" before you click "swap".



Now, we've swapped the tmc and tmcl of our haircut, we can go back on "Costume Browser" on the upper left corner. Select you character. Here i'll select Honoka. And click on "DLC slots".



In this menu, you can see the hairstyles on the left, and the faces on the right.
Click on the "+" next to "hair slots". Those i've already added are in red.
Right click on the first line you've just added and select "change".

Now, we'll pick the TMC we've just added.


Click on "obsolete" so it'll be easier to find it. But you can find it in the whole list if you want. It'll be in red with the letters OM in front of it.

Click on "confirm" and do the same on the second line you've added with the TMCL file.



Now, we can go back on "Costumes". Here we have the list of Honoka's costumes.

Click on the first costume of the list. Or any costume you want to add the hair. In the middle of the screen, click on the "+" next to "hair styles".
Click on the new line you've added and right click "change". Select your TMC file and then the TMCL on the second line.

You can do the same on every costume that appears in black, but not the blue one. That means we can't do it here on the DLC. When you swap a hair on a costume, it become red.

If you made a mistake, you can go back to normal by clicking "revert".

To add the hair we've added on the dlcs, use DLC Tool. Open DLC Tool and open your dlc in each pack. Select each costume of Honoka or your character and click "add" on "hair". Since Honoka only has one hair style, if you put hair B2, she'll have the new hair. If it's for Christie, since she has 6 hairstyles, put 7.

Special thanks to Immi for making this tool !

Tutorial Ink reshuffle v4 made by Immi

awesome tutorial ,KasumiLove
i also have a suggestion
when clicking on the image of your tutorial , the image would be opened in new tab and we can't see the text
I think it 's better if you make the image and the text displayed on the same page
if it 's too long you can use one spoiler for all your tutorial

Like this

Tutorial Hex Edit: How to change detail options (H, HL files)

Today, i'll explain how to make detail options. You already know that we can change the color of panties in the options. We're going to use these options to change the color of a costume.

Here I'll use Marie Rose costume 1. Since Marie Rose doesn't have many free slots, it's a good way to spare space. So I'll make 3 variants for this costume.


Marie Rose costume 1 already has H and HL files which refer to 4 colors of panties. I'll sacrify the panties' color to use variants of the costume.

So first, I open Marie Rose costume 1 in Texture Tool.[/COLOR]


I'll also open Texture Tool again to open the first H file.

I've also extracted all the textures I need in a folder.

For the variant I'm going to change textures 0, 3, 7, 8, 9, 11, 13 and 15 from the TMC. I know it's a lot for a first costume.
So I need to add 8 textures in the H file. I click on "add/move" button and add the 8 textures. Click on save.


After that, open HxD.


You'll notice a lot of "FF". This refers to the unused textures in Texture Tool. You can see in the first column in Texture Tool, the number of each texture under AbsID. Here we have 18 numbers (from 0 to 17).

Each 4 couples of "FF" refers to a number in AbsID. You'll have to count each 4 FF until the number of the texture you want to change starting from 0.

I want to change first, texture 0. So on the first 4 FF I put 00.

I also want to change texture 3, so I count until 3 "FF FF FF FF". This time, I'll put 01 because texture 3 is in the second position in my H file.


It looks like this:

Keep going for all the textures you have to change. And replace the former "00 00 00 00" by "FF FF FF FF" because you don't want to change these anymore. That was for the panties before we modified it.

It'll finally look like this:

Now, do the same for all the H files with different colors.

If the costume you want to add details doesn't have H, HL files you can add random one and edit them. But you'll have to mach the number of FF to the number of AbsID.


_____________________________________________

Editing H files with Texture Tool 5.0

Now with the new version of Texture Tool, we can edit H files more easily.

Download Texture Tool 5.0 here : https://www.mediafire.com/folder/9zi2gt8dyllaj/doa5mod

Open your TMC file and extract the textures you want to edit with a right click

Note the number of textures and the location of the texture you want to change in the H file.
Here there are 32 textures and our texture is located at number 21.

Edit the colors of your textures in Photoshop or Gimp.

Open a random H file. Here i chose Helena panties.

Right click on the textures you don't need and select Clear.

Remember where was located your texture in the TMC ? Here it was 21.
Click on 21 and select Swap to choose your texture.

Ajust the number of textures to the number of your TMC by clicking Add. Here it's 32.

Now you can rename your file and save

 

[mralex]

It works for me, Thank you!

 

[jjinkou2]

really good

 

[The Enforcer]

@KasumiLove That H/HL tutorial is amazing. Nice to see that the process for working with those has been broken down, and that it does not require much tech to do it is amazing.

That opens up a lot of opportunities for toggling items and even possibility of swapping meshes on the fly IF transparency works well enough.

 

[KasumiLove]

The problem is we cannot select the details in private paradise

But there is another solution. You can add 8 costumes in each costume slot with lnk reshuffle but you'll have to sacrify hairstyles.

I haven't tried this on PC since I forgot, but details are at least selectable in private paradise/movies... on console version they could be selected via the face buttons. Not sure if doing details more / less than four affects this, but conceivably it should work.

 

[KasumiLove]

What is the face button ?

 

[The Enforcer]

What is the face button ?

On the controller that would be Xbox: A,B,X,Y or Playstation: X,Circle, Square, Triangle so for PC it should be whatever corresponds to those.... Hold/Throw/Punch/Kick, etc.

 

[KasumiLove]

But i think on PC it's like on ps4, you select the details and hair in the menu

 

[The Enforcer]

No, even on PS4 for Movies you have to select the detail be pressing specific button since it does not have 'Detail' as an option.

yup, does work. Thx for the info

<A> selects Detail A
<X> selects Detail B
<Y> selects Detail C
<B> brings you back to the movie selection screen, so there is now way to select Detail D :/

buttons might depend on your controller config though

 

[The Enforcer]

Cool, i thought it should still work.

Detail D should be A + Y at the same time or whatever corresponding keys/buttons.

 

[KasumiLove]

Thanks for the info
