oh hey your the guy that PM'd me. yeah DOAU is a memory sucker, so booting it is a pain, as is to run anything else along side it, like xdk, so i can imagine the game save protection, won't be nearly close to being easly hacked. oh thats right, any save you download has to be re-signed, with your xbox's MAC address, its a huge number thing.
skin mods and trainers are the only available hacks out i'm afraid, so if your interested, be awae of certain things u say here, keep it clean man...

thx man, i made that cosplay thread to get more skinning ideas, didnt get many new ideas though. many cosplay is based of final fantasy naruto, or various other japanese animes, which i'm just not in touch with anymore.. Cell's been the best one since a while now.

so you got afs explorer 3.7 then ? great,...
as for models, best grab them off the source disk, using the 3ds/dds extractor. cause this one fourm got in total shit for posting doa models not to long ago.
if you can the best program for opening the doa afs is greedexplorer, well if you can find it. should be on google though

hey mario. please send me all the tools i need. cause since tecmo got this stupid problems its very difficult to find anything for doa.
thanx man
Title: Dead Or Alive 2 Ultimate
Post by: mariokart64n on August 13, 2006, 07:26:00 PM
its not gonna matter much unless you know your way around an image editing program. since doau is a xbox game it uses the native dds image format, only adobe paint shop cs fully supports this.
another image editor you can use (what i use) is paintshopX by corel aka jasc. it can use older versions of nvidia's dds plugin, before version 3. but i doubt you'll have luck finding an older version on google. if you need it for paintshopproX then let me know and i'll PM it to you via rapidshare.de link
after you know you can handle a paint program, then you'll need some apps, like maybe 2 more, not afs explorer though...
also i checked out google.. oddly o_O theres no stuff about doa or the tools for it, lol don't know if thats a good thing or bad thing that all the tools are gone.

Post by: Heet on August 13, 2006, 09:32:00 PM
No actually ALL of the tools are available online. I just checked.
I even found mirages tool and mdlhack.
Just type xbox-saves next to any search words.
ex: AFSexplorer xbox-saves
For any gamesaves do the same. I just found white lisa again lol.

thanx a lot you two im working with photoshop 7 so i downloaded the dds plugin for photoshop. but it aint working
im not a noob and im working a lot with photoshop and i did it all right i think. ive put the dds.8bi dat into the plugin folder of adobe ps. but i cant open dds files. i made skins for nfs underground, too and there were no problems with the dds.
Title: Dead Or Alive 2 Ultimate
Post by: mariokart64n on August 14, 2006, 08:18:00 AM
well if you had an old plugin installed for photoshop back then it should have worked, you wouldn't even need a new one. anyway their should have been an installer, it only works for adobe products though, it should be no problem. what sort of problem are you running into, like you try to open the file... and it just doesn't reconize? or is it crashing?
thx heet i didn't even know the xbox-save links were still floating around google. better save em while you have a chance, since they ripped the links off, the only way of accessing old files is through google.. thats not goin to last very long.
also nook, if you can't get photoshop working with the dds plug, try a plug around the 1.18 version or just try downloading a 70mb trial of one of the newer adobe products, you'll be required to provide some email information though.

okay. i made a bikini for doax. do u know a good screenshot tool ???
Title: Dead Or Alive 2 Ultimate
Post by: mariokart64n on August 14, 2006, 03:50:00 PM
oh geez.. thats a tough one... cause its been a while. though i use XIG3 (xbox image grabber) the problem is you'll have to go hunting for all the required files, then its easy to get confused.
best bet is to go onto maxconsole and download there trainer engine and the DOAX trainer, which comes with a built in screenshot taker

avoid using DXT5 over DXT1 if default orginally was DXT1. though i know of 2 ways to do this. best way is to find an old app called bossafs it can prase a file for DDS headers and change them to what ever DXT you want them to. lol
though you'll have to decrease one dimension to increase from DXT1 to DXT5, cause it's holds extra info, for 16? bit trasnparenies. beisdes that if you find the program, i think the dds tool option is called transparency tune? or something after u open and right click files name in the file tree.
hope that helps. oh and the second way is more hands on with like hexediting and crap, didn't think you'd wanna hear that, so
goodluck

what is this???? i downloaded the bossafs tool. when i want to change the xpr and want to allow a alpha it always tell me this.
hey mario. do u got version 3 of the bossafs tool??? i only got version 1.0.0.9
thanx
Title: Dead Or Alive 2 Ultimate
Post by: yardguy00 on August 15, 2006, 10:06:00 AM
you made the image bigger... you need to decrease its dimensions when you change it to dxt5. but honestly theres not much reason to make it a dxt5... if you apply both transparency flags in bossafs to your dxt1 image .. you can edit its alpha
Title: Dead Or Alive 2 Ultimate
Post by: mariokart64n on August 15, 2006, 01:42:00 PM
ok, when you make the image a DXT5 from a DXT1 the image must include the extra 16bit table, ok. so to compensate space, you have to make one side smaller.
example DXT1 256 x 256 (you want to turn to DXT5, so you make) DXT5 128 x 256 "remeber to tick off the 2 transparency flags" and press APPLY in the program. thats it, hopfully the bafs prased the right thing and your file still works. also i think i have 1.2.2.0, still buggy tho. if 1.0.0.9's working for yeah, your prolly fine.
>side tip (always a good practice to make multiple copies of your work) just right drag&drop make copy of.

Post by: nooks on August 15, 2006, 11:50:00 PM
ah yo but there is one prob. i cant choose dxt5. theres only dxt1, 2 n 4. and dxt1 with alpha makes some problems.
Title: Dead Or Alive 2 Ultimate
Post by: mariokart64n on August 16, 2006, 12:49:00 AM
oh, don't worry DXT4 will work when injection dxt5 textures over top. dxt4 is basically the same as dxt5

i finally found out where some of those messed up doa renders were comming from. so lately i've been trying to get more doa characters playable. so far i've scratched the surface and got tina in, though my model rigging isn't the best, i gotta brush up, big time
