Texture mods¶

Right now you can replace the textures inside the asset bundles of the game by other means, because the game doesn't check if an asset changed. But if you don't want to repackage asset bundles, TNZ has support for texture mods.

Texture mod structure¶

Each texture mod should have its own folder in the mods folder inside the launcher folder. Inside the mod folder there should be a json file with modfile extension containing a json dictionary with the name of the bundles as keys, and a list of texture names inside that bundle that the mod changes. For example:

hina_tartan_dress.modfile

{
  "8953a3774b75802d47fb9c364093f655": [
    "tex_chr030_001_wear01_c",
    "tex_chr030_001_hair01_c"
  ]
}

Folder structure:

- launcher_folder
  - mods
    - hina_tartan_dress
      - hina_tartan_dress.modfile
      - tex_chr030_001_wear01_c.png
      - tex_chr030_001_hair01_c.png

Texture mod example¶

If you want to see how a finished mod looks like, download this example texture mod (Hinagiku Tartan Dress)

Creating a texture mod¶

To unpack the textures in the asset bundles download and install AssetStudioMod. For example, Hinagiku's base costume textures are inside TRIBENINE/tribenine_Data/StreamingAssets/aa/8953a3774b75802d47fb9c364093f655.bundle

So before you open it with AssetStudioMod you need to specify the Unity version (2022.2.22f2 works here)

Then after opening it, filter by name (character textures start with 'tex_chrXXX', for Hina 'tex_chr030') and export the textures.

Next, create a folder to put the mod inside the mods folder in the launcher. In that folder put the texture png and a modfile with the following content (use this JSON formatter to check that the JSON is valid):

my_hina_mod.modfile

{
  "8953a3774b75802d47fb9c364093f655": [
    "tex_chr030_001_wear01_c"
  ]
}

Folder structure:

- launcher_folder
  - mods
    - my_hina_mod
      - my_hina_mod.modfile
      - tex_chr030_001_wear01_c.png

The texture name is taken from the AssetStudioMod window:

After that, edit tex_chr030_001_wear01_c.png with any image editor and overwrite the texture png, and the mod should be complete.
