PSO2 Animation Editing Tutorial

[@davidkennedy8281]

Do you happen to have an updated video like this? So far I've been able to export the bones and animations to Blender (though if I export an animation with the model, it looks like a horrifying monster). But how do I import my fdp file to aqua model tool so that I can export the character outfit / accessories and maybe animation along with the bone model as an fbx? Or do I need to import the clothes / etc seperately into blender and resize them all manually?

[@Shadowth117]

It doesn't work that way. An FDP is NOT a model, it is simply a collection of items that the game combines into your final character. Replicating that process outside the game is complex, and currently blocked by some major unknowns.

@@Shadowth117 Oh :( Thank you for your response

[@MrGamecubeVT]

How did you import to blender? I know there's an addon from github, but I've had no success installing it

[@shiothesaltch.4327]

it a bit late to ask this but does this work on blender or MMD? bcs i do want to try using pso2 LA or motion to make music video base on these. THo where do you find the La and motion file?

[@Shadowth117]

Sort of. I later made a standalone program that I put in releases of my AquaModelLibrary git repo. Aqua Model Tool can convert an animation to aqm, but currently cannot export an existing one. As for file locations, I regularly update those in #file-location-data in downloadable sheets in the Pso2 Modding discord.

Is it somehow possible to change the Female Idle standing animation? the belly looks so weird when standing, i really wish it would be like in the Salon the Idle Pose

[@Shadowth117]

Yes it is. In fact, if you want you can copy paste that aqm over the standing anim. It's pretty simple.

@@Shadowth117 okay and how do I do that? What file do I have to replace?

[@Shadowth117]

@@The_lonely_stoner Ask this in the PSO2 Modding discord. KZbin comments are awful for these things.

I would love to move the sword idle animation on hunter to look more like Cloud from FF7

[@granvell619]

Do you know where the files for the Sword Animations would be?

[@Shadowth117]

You're in luck, I do. Try fbae0c59a79226ab2361ca5fc81a3efc for non-Hero sword animations.

@@Shadowth117 Thanks, I really didn't want to search the internet or my folder for the file

@@Shadowth117 I just finished it and was about to test it, but the servers are down, and I'm not gonna be home tomorrow until 5, T_T

@@granvell619 Sorry to hear that. Hope it works out well for you. It may take a few tries to get right, but it sounds pretty neat.

[@Karuiko]

So... why have I not seen someone fix the female idle animation yet?

[@Shadowth117]

There were animation swaps that did something like this even a while ago, but people were just kind of meh about it.

[@Karuiko]

@@Shadowth117 iirc that was just putting the male idle over the female idle, which is still a bit weird. Women don't stand with legs far apart and broad shoulders.

[@Shadowth117]

@@Karuiko There was also one with the salon idle pose over it, but the transition was slightly jank.

[@brianpso]

My god man, this is insane! I had no idea the mod scene was this far. These changes are client side only right?

[@Shadowth117]

Yes, they are client side only. Moving the root bone may actually move you ingame, but we're not sure right now because nobody has been willing to test that.

[@granvell619]

Do you have to load the file through the mod folder? Or can you just replace the file? Edit: Nevermind, I forgot about the checksum so I had to replace that, and for some reason my character was rotated 90 degrees and The sword was on the wrong side of the body, but besides that. I made progress! Edit 2: I just fixed some more things, but I've hit a wall, the sword goes to my back when the animation plays, any idea why?

[@Shadowth117]

I would say to just do it through Tweaker's mod folder. You can do it by hand, but Tweaker will help you not have to replace it every patch.

[@granvell619]

@@Shadowth117 Thanks, also, do you know why the sword goes to your back when the animation plays ingame?

[@Shadowth117]

@@granvell619 I'm not sure right now. It may be to do with the animation having extra bones in it for the weapon, but I'm not sure.

[@granvell619]

@@Shadowth117 Thanks, I'm gonna go and check

[@granvell619]

@@Shadowth117 I've done some investigating, and it looks like just moving any of the bones on the model moves the sword to the root bone, I don't know why.
