Dead or Alive 4 Modding Thread (lets collect all the information about modding this game)

[gamemaster14]

From what I have seen many people have tried to mod doa4, the problem being, there have been a mod here and there tried by a modder or two and nothing really came together. I have created this thread to bring together any data about modding doa4.

I have seen topics with things as simple as making Kokoro's Kimono playable and more complex as changing moves. If you know anything at all about doa4 modding, feel free to post here, and please do not link to other forums or websites because unfortunately I have found many topics with linked content that no longer exists.

So I never took the project further than this:

Honestly, it was a pipe-dream to try and reinvent DOA4 but all we could do we change stun, hit and block properties as well as manually hex-editing frames. All of DOA4's major system issues weren't able to be addressed with our limited knowledge and tools. I wasn't even the guy that cracked anything, I'm not that clever, I just really like the under-the-hood type stuff in video games. Oh shit could Bass do some ridiculous stuff in these builds though. You guys had nooo idea. He was so ridiculous and fun.

 

[gamemaster14]

Does anyone know if there are ways of extracting textures and editing them in doa4? I believe it's files are tpr instead of xpr.

 

[Gultigargar]

This is what I use for exporting textures from .tpr files http://www.mediafire.com/download/4lb5gbuu5giow41/doa4extract.rar
Unfortunately it's not 100% stable, and sometimes it can't read certain textures right, but for the most part it works fine.

 

[gamemaster14]

Thanks man, I will give it a try when I get a chance, doax3 was delivered to my house today so I will probably be playing that tonight.

I will probably eventually be making some doa4 mod videos if I get any favorable results.

Question. Was it possible to make certain strings 2 in 1. Like in the case of Hayate's 4KK for example. It's 2 in 1 now in DOA5 but back then it wasn't, the second kick just came out fairly quickly so online (where most played) it wasn't being held.

Also is it possible to force new strings and new moves in general. Like would we be able to recreate Hayate's DOA5 wind dash through giving him Kasumi's 3P+K:

3P+KP - Her elbow like normal but guard breaks for +3 or something.
3P+KK - Goes into 4H+K for Hayate, but with 4.1 launch and 5.0 relaunch properties.
3P+KP+K - Goes directly into Hayate's 1P+K launcher.
3P+KT - Doesn't matter which throw but Hokage would be fine.

Then make his PPK6P+K cancel into it? It's just ideas... but I was interested in it last night when I first started thinking about how Ryu's Nin Stance could be put into DOA4 so the idea was to take Kasumi (6K) or Bayman's Knee's (I forgot his input) and put it as an option out of Nin stance. It make look dirty but it would open some new avenues.

Is it possible?

I would venture to say all of that is possible, seeing as the file systems for movesets aren't too different from DOAU/O or DOA3. I'm almost certain the movesets are as easy to tweak as they are in DOAO, although some testing would need to be done for the things you're suggesting.

I would really like to try it out, unfortunately I have no access to a modded 360 that can...allow me to do so.

 

[grap3fruitman]

Making moves 2-in-1s should be possible, it's as simple as increasing the stun on the first move. Our tools were fairly limited and the format hadn't been fully cracked but it should be doable with hex. A lot of the frame changes we were making were manually done by hex. I used to have the 4.0 and 4.1 patch files separated somewhere to compare changes. They took some 2in1s out between versions (Ein 3kk comes to mind). There's your starting point.

 

[TakedaZX]

Word. I'll see what I can find out about obtaining one.

There's a lot I really like about DOA4.

 

[crapoZK]

Seeing this stuff for DOA4 really got me hyped to play it again.

We've gotta do a project like this for DOA5LR on PC.

Question about modding, i would like to mod my Xbox 360 Slim E. so i want to Extract Helena's Opera dress to Kasumi and edit the textures to made a Pink dress. To do this on Xbox 360, i need JTAG (I think that must be RGH, Not JTAG.) RGH, R-JTAG or a Pendrive to mod Xbox?

 

[Forlorn Penguin]

This Version Will be released as an Iso, you don't need a Jtag or Rgh xbox 360 to play this. Just download Burnt and Play.

The Xbox 360 still needs to be modded for that. You don't need to do a full blown JTAG/RGH, but you'd at least need to flash the DVD drive.

Technically, you can get around this by hotswapping, but doing that would be annoying and isn't very smart.

Those are amazing, especially that Kasumi texture edit mod and the schoolgirl Eliot one! When you do hex swaps of outfits for different characters is it possible to keep that character's skin tone so say when Kasumi wears an outfit of Lisa her skin won't change to Lisa's color?

Thanks, The skin color stays sometimes example when you swap kasumi with Ayane's body sometimes keeps the skin tone of ayane, so I need to manually Recolor the skin area, I will try it with kasumi and Lisa and I will post it here

Yes, that's right DVD drive flashed is need it. And that case to make the xbox read the burned dvds
