Dragon Reformation

All this is in the readme of zip file.

Thanks for downloading The Dragon Reformation mod!

This is my first mod. Please go easy on me.

Originally this mod was named "The Knee" because it was mainly all about the knee attack in the moveset.

This move is still retained in the moveset but much less with now more broken gravity like moves.

Defying Gravity is the best and Kiryu can now do it too.

This mod contains:

- 4 unique reskins that replace Kiryu's white/red DoD look

- 3 new suits that replace completely replace Kiryu's DoD suit

- A custom moveset

- Custom OSTs (Changed Kamuro, Souten and few other OSTs)

The name "Dragon Reformation" was the idea that Kiryu after his 10 years sentence,

decided to hone his techinque so he can finally live in peace as a civilian.

Forgetting most of his old Dragon of Dojima techniques he sets out to learn greater abilities.

Along his path he gained skills and mastered new techinques from the likes of Yagami and many others.

The dragon is reformed. He is now at peace with his new inner strength...

INSTALLATION

Music and Moveset Install:

Just move the data folder over your current data folder in your kiwami 2 directory

Skin Install:

You will need ParTool and optional PARC Archive Importer. Below is the links to download those

If you ever get stuck, go to the bottom of this readme and join the Yakuza Modding Community Server!

Shorter Method:

Choose a skins folder, then data then lexus2 then dds there you will find dds images

Open PARC Archieve Importer

Press open archive and select chara.par

then on the right open files and select all the files in the dds folder

then save and name this chara.par

boom you have skin

Longer Method:

First use ParTool to extract your chara.par by dragging and dropping the chara.par over the partool.exe

Choose a skins folder, then data then lexus2 then dds there you will find dds images

Move the skins folder into the ParTool directory

Copy and paste chara.par (find it in your k2 directory) into the ParTool directory

Rename chara.par to chara1.par (in case you didn't backup chara.par already)

Press on the address bar of the ParTool directory and write cmd

then write this command in cmd

partool add ./chara1.par ./ ./chara.par

And now you have a custom chara.par with your skin. Replace the chara.par in your k2 directory

chara1.par is the original one and you can keep it your ParTool directory if you want

boom you have skin

Dragon Suit:

Follow shorter method or longer method until you reach dds folder

This suit is unique so instead select the file in the tops folder

then go back to shorter or longer method

Partool: https://github.com/Kaplas80/ParManager

PARC Archive Importer: https://github.com/SlowpokeVG/PARC-Archive-Importer/releases

If you're not sure what to backup then backup the following.

data/battle_lexus2/ backup = fighter_command.cfc

data/stream/ backup = bbg_a & bbg_b & bbg_c & bbg_d & otherbgm.awb or you can backup the whole file

data/ backup = motion.par

data/ only backup this if you're planning on changing kiryu's look = chara.par
