Vindictus Mod - Methods and Files (1 Viewer)

[ibonihskrad]

ATTENTION! Swappers no longer work! Go to hongfire for the newest GSL! Vindictus/Mabinogi Heroes Nude Mod - Page 8 (It's in Checkbox's post)

Download Good Stuff Lite and the Good Stuff Lite tweak. Install both files into your Vindictus folder, then drag the Good Stuff Lite file onto the Good Stuff Lite tweak for the teak to take effect. This should prevent any future errors. Thanks to Checkbox for GSL! (Although I still wish he would give the scaleform folder some love... I want my nude npcs :()

Some Mods!

• Mod Index: Look here before asking abut a mod.
• Thanks to NSixx for this dropbox folder. SO MANY MODS HOLY CRAP! https://www.dropbox.com/sh/108iijtaia505jf/VvoKeevTm6 - His thread about this dropbox can be found here: http://www.hongfire.com/forum/showt...as-well-as-studio-files-and-swappers-(Updated)
• Clip folder for BattleJesus' Aesthetic Mod, so the male armors don't make people invisible: Downloading: clip.zip - Uploadingit
• Male Default Inner Armor Shiny Underpants mod: Downloading: Male Default Inner - Metal Briefs Mod.zip - Uploadingit
• Nude male mod (Hells yes! haha. Now EVERYONE is a stripper, even the men!) http://www.gamevixenzone.net/hot-stuff-21/vindictus-male-nude-mod-842/
• Mods are not by me, all credit goes to their respective creators. Except the clip folder which is a modified version of BattleJesus' clip folder, and the Male Inner Armor thing.

So many instructions...gone...all gone. But, they were useless, swapping doesn't work anymore at all! So, good luck with GSL again! Modding this game has become quite the task.

• If you get the following error: The size of the sync binary file has changed. The game must be re-installed then the time was too short. If the game started and the mods did not load, the time was too long.
• If you have gotten that error, check and make sure that Filesystem_stdio.dll2 is still in your bin folder. If it is not, then the swapper failed to switch the files back due to the error window being opened for too long. Filesystem_stdio.dl will be the original file in this case, so you will need to swap the two files back to their original names manually.

Also, as an alternative for noobs there is another way to fix that error. Just re-run the swapping process but when that error message pops-up you just have to QUICKLY close it before the swapping process finishes and it will do it for you. Why it doesn't work is that pop-up causes the files to be in in-use so it cannot rename them.

Sounds like a headache. Can't someone just do it and make a zip file of their data folder? Lol.

Sounds like a headache. Can't someone just do it and make a zip file of their data folder? Lol.

Unfortunately, no, the swapping is the only way to get around hackshield's file detection, so even if I were to give you my data folder with all of the files, you would still have to go through the most difficult part which is swapping the files at the proper time.

And I can't give you the amount of time either, since it depends on your computer's specs as well as whatever else is running in the background.

Also, thanks for the additional explanation Moe, I kinda didn't feel like getting into detail with the issue, lol. Sort of an afterthought of "oh right, I should mention this before people bombard me with comments on how it broke their Vindictus folder."

New Clip File: http://uploadingit.com/file/view/cwogtwtnawutypxi/clip.zip
This should make Karok's armor no longer become invisible when using the Aesthetic Mod armors. Let me know if there are still invisible bodies.

If you're using BattleJesus' Aesthetic Mod 2.0 (or any of the ones that have armor modifications), replace the clip folder under data/models with this one, and the men will no longer have invisible bodies on modified armor. However, those parts that would have been invisible will now show whatever is underneath. Which is usually ugly longjohn underwear...

Unless you use something like this: http://uploadingit.com/file/view/zreptw9nkbgtza07/Male
I just made this mod, it swaps the default inners for males with the metallic inner armor (basically looks like metal briefs). I was tired of seeing the damn longjohns, and the shiny underpants really make the males look like male strippers with the armor mod, which is hilarious to me. If anyone really wants me to, I guess I can make one with less silly/revealing inner armor...

[ibonihskrad]

All I get when I run the cmd is File System error 36. :c

I have no idea what that error is If you haven't already, you may want to ask the guys over at hongfire. Maybe one of them have had this problem.

 

[Araerix]

The issue was I still had the old SensApi.dll in there. >_> woops. heh heh...

 

[ibonihskrad]

Ah, yeah, that would make it not work at all. Thanks for reminding me to put that in my instructions.

 

[Araerix]

I cant get any of the mods to work, i've gone from greater than 3 seconds to lower than half a second and I Get no error or mods. I must be doing something wrong but I've followed the instructions on the first post D:

 

[ibonihskrad]

Are the FileStdio files in your /bin folder of your Vindictus folder?

 

[Araerix]

Yes they are

---------- Post added at 07:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:11 PM ----------

Also when the swap timer runs what I get is "INFO: No tasks running with the specified criteria" and "Hackshield is Running..." flashing a lot on the cmd box.

 

[ibonihskrad]

That's really weird, I'm not even sure what it means by that.

 

[Araerix]

I've run out of ideas on what to do ; -; maybe I cant use the mods

---------- Post added at 08:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:27 PM ----------

So I lied about running out of ideas >_> Anyways, someone over at hongfire is having the same issue and on page 450 theres another download to supposedly help. Have yet to try it

---------- Post added at 08:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:39 PM ----------

Aaannnd it did not work either. :c

 

[ibonihskrad]

Can you provide screenshots of the error message and your Vindictus folder? It could help with figuring it out.

 

[Araerix]

There is no error message for this problem, the only thing that happens is the swap-timer runs in the backround only constantly flashing "Hackshield is Running..." and no mods load.

 

[ibonihskrad]

First, be sure that everything is running in administrator mode if you're using Windows 7.

The screenshot of the folder would still help.

Does the game work normally when you don't use the swapper?

 

[Araerix]

I'm not sure how to get screenshots of my folder but the game does work normal without the swapper.

I'm no good at this :c would it be too much trouble to get a video showing step-by-step on what to do?

 

[ibonihskrad]

I am too tired to try to make an installation video, but I found a video tutorial on taking screenshots. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qk4b2PaoC64
