Dead or Alive 3 Custom Skins/Costumes thread

[grap3fruitman]

I tried giving this a go by increasing character slot-counts and giving the alt costumes their own costume slots. But the amount of cotume slots a character had on the character select screen didn't change.
I'm guessing there's somewhere else, in addition to the slot count address, that controls how many costume slots a character has. Probably related to how most characters start with 2 and then have to unlock additional ones.

Yeah, the unlock stuff is somewhere else. What you could do with the above is set say Bass to have all his alts on slot 1 and then select them with different buttons; doesn't work on slot 2 for some reason. Need to investigate alts further. But I think I found where the unlocked costume values are stored in 3.1 (0x0059fb16 ram).

DoA3 modding

I guess I'll post mods here if I'll feel like it. DISCLAIMER: all my works are CC0, you can share them without giving me any credit, you even to say that you are the author. Story short - in DoA2Ultimate I removed all sfd video files, and the game just skips them. But in DoA3 if you remove the...

Have we considered modding the DOA3 Booster Disc into a Custom Skin (and 3++) installer?

Installing custom content on Xemu is such a pain that a bootable ISO would make things easier while giving the end user more flexibility at the same time. Want to collab?

Also, have you looked at my 3.1 Ghidra project file? You know I found the Command List stuff almost a year ago, right? There's probably other a lot of other useful stuff I've found you could use. https://github.com/ryu-highabusa/COMDATsamba/blob/114f83de6df3b89fcf071946c0fb2b61db5ec3b6/Sample/2002-02-08_DOA31 Default.xbe.gzf

That's a cool idea, I just don't really know anything about how you would make something like that. But you are very welcome to use any of my skins for it. UsagiZ also made some very cool ones that I think would also be great to include.

That's why having more than 128 costumes placed in the "....TDATA\54430000" folder is not a good idea.
The game will load only 256(FFh) cat and xpr files in the order shown bellow, that makes 128 costumes. This means that the more costumes you have, the more costumes for characters at the bottom of the list will not be loaded, starting with Christie. Like, the pack of costumes from the first post has almost 400 files, that's ~200 costumes, 70 costumes will not be loaded. Remove the costumes you don't use, and leave less than 129 in the save folder. Only 7 costumes per character are used.

Managed to figure out the 9 Slot Limit and the 7 HDD Slot Limit but hit another hiccup...
