MODDING TUTORIAL FOR GHOST OF TSUSHIMA DIRECTOR'S CUT PC

[@jpthehero]

While packing to PSARC file you need to edit the filename.txt without slash. Because it wont save your mod for some cases. Keep it as like shown in the video 12:58

[@kelstr]

What do you mean exactly here? the first line of modified folder without forward slash / ?

[@jpthehero]

@@kelstr yup. It will work with or without slash

[@CumBrianFries]

@@jpthehero How do I merge two or multiple mods into one to bypass the mod limit?

[@DiogoReinert]

Thanks for this tutorial. Would you be able to go deeper into modding this game? I want to mod Archery Master's Attire armor, but not just a recolor, I'd like to change the fabric texture to get rid off of the dirt in it.

[@MOHMEDcosplay]

Continue, my friend, and I hope for more videos regarding modifications to this game♥

[@santiagomota7981]

Do you know how to remove shadows from the game? I would like to see the impact on performance.

[@NielsGx]

Nice I was sure these .sps were just .dds with a special header

[@OfficialLittleluimusic_gaming]

Holy shit, somebody actually made it kind of like a mod manager for the game ❤ can’t wait for these bigger mods, though AI spawner mod menus outfit manager weapon, mods, different clothes, mods and last, but not least they will definitely be more but last but not least a character model changer plays different characters. I think Jedi Josh is already working on that. ❤

Thank you, very informative

[@nikifun]

Now I'm trying to find the icons of the keyboard and mouse keys to remove the control prompts in the game (for example, "V+RMB over Resolve) and looked at the names of the sps files of all packs and checked the contents in 20% of the packs through noesis, but I still didn't find anything similar. Can someone tell me how what I'm looking for is usually called in the game files? because I'm not very good at English. And is it even worth looking for? Maybe they are in xpps, not sps files, and my attempts were in vain? P.S. This is my first time digging into the game files. And I know that the icons will disappear throughout the game (I'm ready for that)

[@SilenceExterminator]

Nice Tutorial keep it up!

[@jpthehero]

Thanks bro. Without your support it is not possible.

[@reginaldoagustino5419]

why i cant open the txt file on the GoTExtractor

[@HENRYPAN19]

The debug menu in Noesis is very important since it tells you the compression format of the sps file that you're trying to edit, and some of the texture files use BC1 but intel texture plugin does not support that. Find this out the hard way wasting so much time trying to mod katanas. You gotta remake your video.

[@yanmetkiy5267]

So how do you fixed that? I trining to make thief mask retexture, but when I change its headers from dds to sps it shows the texture wrong in noesis, I tried many ways, but I presume the issue is the one which you describe (I am pretty sure, I replacing headers correctly, there are some mod on nexus already which also retextures same mask into other colors and I used that as example) upd: just verified, so yeah, the texture which I trying to recolor is BC1_UNORM_SRGB format

[@sim667lz3]

How do you compress it after editing please ?

[@yanmetkiy5267]

@@sim667lz3 I figure out, so if you see texture copmression starts with BC1_ chooose "Color" on dds save, if BC3, choose "Color + Alpha". For other compression cant say, so you have to test by yourself. You should have the same size on original and dds file, then you did it right

[@veloqx]

when i try to convert my dds to SPS it doesnt it just renames it with .sps at the end

[@jpthehero]

enable the show extension option in your windows.

[@Devoured_Colossus]

yeah, my dds and sps files dont have those patterns....

[@akiman712]

tutorial is straighforward but ive seem to be having a roadblock party and Im not invited. Renaming the dds files to sps for some reason doesn't work for me. I see on your end, the entire filename includes the extension name. On my pc, when I try to rename, it only captures the name without the file extension added to it. So ive tried 123.dds.sps or 123.sps, neither of which changes the actual DDS file to sps. Whats going on?

[@akiman712]

Problem solved! Im a dummy. I needed to actually activated the "display file extension" when viewing files on explorer.

[@jpthehero]

@@akiman712 but this is outdated tutorial. You don't need a dds file. Just extract the textures as png and the noesis support sps injection. So when injecting it will convert to sps. For more details just DM on discord

[@reginaldoagustino5419]

why i can't open the DDS file with my PS CS6? or can you recomended the version of PS did you used?

for some reason when i repack the folder using GOTextractor, after i select the mods folder with the filename txt and bitmaps folder, it doesnt give me the next dialog box where i can save the mod? a black box briefly shows up - and i cant find where my mod is saved? there is a folder that says "repackaged" in the program files for GOTextractor, but this has no effect in game. Any help would be brilliant, thanks!!! my modded texture files are displaying properly as sfs in Noesis btw - Thanks!!!

[@jpthehero]

@@godfather3002 I suggest to use very first version of GOTExtractor to repack the files. Also for some cases remove the slash before the bitmap text in the filename.txt file. If you still face the issue then try to name it simply. Once you get the file just rename it perfectly like your mod file shows after the main game file. If you still face issues contact me via Discord

Is anyone else having an issue where you cant repack. For me it just crashes when I go to select the folder to repack. this happens even if follow the steps one to one, or if I make no changes to someone else's mod (just unpack theirs and then try to repack it.

The name of the file is "hero_head_hair_01_mtl.msac.d.0" and also you need to edit face texture (Both hero_head_mtl.msac.d.0 & g.0) to make the hair color. Otherwise in the game it will show only as black.

Dont use Hxd bro. Now the method is very simple. Use noesis to import the edited image. Just follow these. Export the file to png and make the edit. Then go to noesis and select the edited png file. Now click export preview button from the menu and then choose the original sps file in the dialog box. Thats it. Click ok and then u r edited textures will be converted to sps file.
