Mesh Mod Enabler

Mesh Mod Enabler

This is a REFramework script that enables the successful modding of character meshes in Dragons Dogma 2. It will likely be required that you install this script before installing any character mesh mods.

Detailed Explanation:

Dragon's Dogma 2 has easily the most complex system of character meshes in any RE Engine game, with a massive hardcoded database of upper body outifts (tops), character body parts, pants, helms, mantles and more. The problem with modding character meshes in this game is that almost all armor, pants, mantle and helm meshes use Capcom's "GpuCloth" cloth physics system.

When a modded mesh is used with an unmodded cloth physics file, the game either crashes or the modded mesh explodes into an enormous paper ball of vertices in every direction. GpuCloth files cannot be deactivated by editing them, or at least no one knows how to touch them without crashing the game. So they must be precisely deactivated in the aforementioned massive database, which is exactly what this script does using REFramework's amazing capabilities.

Additionally, helms must have their "Wrap Deformer" files deactivated or they will also explode, and this script handles that as well.

Currently Supports:

• []Tops (upper body armor)

  []Helms

  []Pants

  []Mantles

  Support for monsters is coming soon.

  Support for Head and Body meshes is being investigated, but may take a while. Techniques such as morphing may allow successful body and head modding

  Installation

  • []Get REFRamework and put its dinput8.dll into your game folder

    []Get Fluffy Mod Manager from Here

    []Place the mod download file in your Fluffy Mod Manager mods folder for this game

    []Install the mod from Fluffy Mod Manager

    []Make sure that REFramework's "LooseFilesLoader" module is activated in the REFramework menu (press Insert to open the menu), or use Fluffy Mod Manager to install your mesh mods

    • []Get REFRamework and put its dinput8.dll into your game folder

      []Extract the "reframework" folder from this mod's download RAR and place it in your game folder, overwriting as needed

      []Make sure that REFramework's "LooseFilesLoader" module is activated in the REFramework menu (press Insert to open the menu), or use Fluffy Mod Manager to install your mesh mods

      How it works

      This script scans through the "natives" folder in the Dragons Dogma 2 game directory for .mesh files and uses their filenames to identify where in DD2's character mesh database that it needs to deactivate GpuCloths. Ther
