So it appears a pissant named Sectus from GameVixenZone overstepped his bounds and tried to control other people's releases.  As a result, I jumped ship so here's the nude mod information (released with permission from redrage).

The basic premise in the nude mod was drawing the resources from another source by preventing the originals from being loaded.  In the first version, that was achieved by deleting the archives that contained the model information for the characters and having them stored outside the archive so that the fallback filesystem behavior will read from the actual files.

When they patched it up, they altered it so that there was a secondary archival obfuscation on certain archives and made it so the files that contained the original model information could no longer be deleted.  As a secondary precaution, they also made it so that certain files (like the files relating to the character models) could only be read from the archive.

We were going to release a method to just sidestep those limitations, but if the poorly-run Vindictus community at GameVixenZone is going to try to control information they didn't derive, I'll let them and just release something better.  Here's a proxy library that will make it so files in the data folder take priority over the files in the HFS.  The other method had to do with repacking files and other menial tasks.  The community there wanted to add an installer and lock the Koreans out out of fear they will be irresponsible with the information.  So laughable.

Have fun and as usual, use at your own risk.  There is an inherent risk of a ban and when you launch a boat a screenshot is taken of your character.  Take that into consideration before using this.

If you enjoy this release, show your thanks by building on and improving the content.  If there's any questions, feel free to post here and redrage or I could probably answer it, since it was our (along with ryozu's) research that led to the nude mods.  There is geniune interest in seeing what the hongfire community along with the other communities do with this.

This is also Korean-friendly.  If anyone is involved with the Korean visual modders, please contact us.  We're really interested in what the Korean community does with this.  Feel free to distribute*, it's really exciting to see how people make use of this.  If there are any Korean translators here, please feel free to translate this and shoot it over to their communities.

*Restriction- I have no reason to support the GameVixenZone Vindictus community so please do not upload or link this or any copies of these files there.  I will contact the administrators and request any references to it be removed.  Thank you.

06/01/2011- Please do not post or link this work on the MPGH forum. I am also requesting any copies currently hosted there or linked to to be removed. Thank you.

It is unknown if or how long we will maintain this mod so if it stops working, sorry.  Try to enjoy it while it lasts.

Directions:
   Extract included zip to Vindictus\en-US\ (or Heroes\ko-KR\ for you KR players) folder.  Enjoy.

Removal instructions:
   Delete the copy of rasadhlp.dll that is in game folder.

I am not responsible for any negative outcomes as a result of using this software.
