WOWWW, this is exactly what I've been waiting for. Are you going to make the male version? Or can I request one? Anyway, thank you for the amazing mod !!!
if not, you can at most make a suggestion, and I'll consider it or not, if I find it interesting and I have the time & motivation to make it happen.
A male version phantom is not on my to-do list anytime soon, since I play exclusively on a female character This things take a lot of time to make, and I have a lot of other projects that interest me more at the moment, so... don't hold your breath
You can Direct Messege (DM) me here, on Nexus, using their messenger/forums function, its private, just hit "compose new" and search / copy my username https://forums.nexusmods.com/messenger/
or
you can try shooting me an email detailing your idea, and I will respond probingevo914@gmail.com
or
simply write here, if you don't want to use any of the above
I don't use any "social media" alternatives... not my type
I'll upload the feather-less version, maybe the one with no shoulders looks to empty, but I guess I can put it up too
I'll have to edit the mod page in a day or two, I will put all versions into the same mod folder, and it can be changed just by overwriting some files, like I did with my more recent mods not having multiple versions of the mod
also the scarf around the neck was deleted here's one with scarf on
thanks if you can, also look at the horns if the scarf is deleted, the mod that deletes the scarf makes the horns see through for some reason, (not completly see through, you can see the other side texture from the inside)
That's not my mod, but I do use it and observed the same thing. It also does weird stuff with water & light, for example if you burst counter near the pond-water in the dojo, it turns dark for a few frames.
I'll look into it at some point, it's probably an extra shader/buffer in the .ini file that's acting up
Nice to see some new mods for the game, and especially nice looking ones like this! Loving it! Thank you for your good work!
Question, would it be possible to have this one work with mods that changes the colour of the phantom, like the "Black Feathered Phantom" one, or perhaps get a version of this one that uses darker colours for the feathers?
Thanks. I'm OCDing hard on aesthetics! I'll do some more cool stuff, since I'm yet to find a game with cooler combat than this one. Yes, it CAN be compatible with "Black Feathered Phantom", since that mod is a simple re-texture, by just overwriting the texture files. Here's how you do it yourself, since I can't modify / upload someone's work without their permission.
Just take the texture from that mod and copy it to this mod's textures folder, and rename it. Look for "phantom-a5c5ab17-i.dds" and turn into "phantom_body_ps-t0.dds" , overwrite. Delete the the whole Black Phantom mod folder, it's not needed anymore.
*** did you read this? note 2: if you want, you can modify the phantom's texture/color by editing "phantom_body_ps-t0.dds" from the textures folder (I recommend paint.net or Photoshop, make sure to save as .dds with BC7 sRGB DX11 setting)
You can change it yourself, to whatever color scheme you want, it's very easy. Go to the mod folder > textures > open phantom_body_ps-t0.dds (you can use paint.net, it's free and easy to use) and edit it as you see fit remember to save/overwrite as .dds BC7sRGB DX11 Look for these things in the image: > the white/silver elongated rectangle on the middle-right-side is the part that all feathers take the texture from > the white-ish/silver bits you see are all the silver "armor" bits on the phantom body > the pink-ish/tan/yellow bits are the skin, obviously > in the center in black and purple-reddish it's the mask > the black bits, that have a cracked/torn rock appearance are the hands
Ohhh thank you for the info! Never tried editing texures myself so did not dare to try it out. But you've explained it in a super simple and easy to follow way, especially with what texture changes what. I thank you kindly, you amazing person! I shall try to edit the texures a bit myself, and otherwise i have the Black Feathered as a fallback.
I look forward to seeing what more mods you'll make! Nioh 2 is a game i often return to now and then, and i am very excited that you're bringing some life back to the mod page! :D
heya, so using the black phantom form texture worked out pretty well, the only problem is that the face fix is missing. there was a problem with the mod that needed a separate fix for the face because it would keep the face white, like this: https://imgur.com/a/sue7sry
I don't remember for sure, since I tested a while ago, but I'm like 90% sure that the "Black Phantom mod" does nothing to the face of the shiftling form. This mod also does nothing to the face.
The face is like a separate part, not affected/not included in the mod. Here is a screenshot to get an idea of what the mod affects. See how there is no face, just the mask
If you want a fix, I could do it at some point, but now I'm busy with other stuff.
Also, sick look on your yokai form! I can recommend you the "Remove Yokai Scarf mod (female)" Although that mod has an issue, I observed. It has some shaders that make the water on the ground flicker/flash light-dark in some angles. I'll have to fix that as well, at some point.
Thanks. The legs are a custom rework I did of the Mikawa Alternate mod, found here on nexus. The fishnet is that of the Ferryman Hakama, kind of a crossover!
It will get released here, at some point. I need to get around to finishing it, lol. If you look closer it lacks a belt to tie in the torso and legs. I planned to add a few accessories to it, like kunais/ninja gear and other stuff, maybe some leather belts from outside the game
Out of curiosity, do you plan on making some changes to the other shift forms as well? Just curious because the Phantom one is the one that has gotten the most love, but i have barely ever seen anything for things like Feral. Would be interesting to see what one could come up with for that shift.
Probably not. The Phantom form was getting on my nerves with all the clipping feathers.
I think the Feral and Brute both look fine, I don't see what could be changed/improved with them. I had the idea at some point to add some armor plates to the yokai body form, maybe the plates the "Thunderous Fists" have, they look nice on their own. But I won't bother, I think it would look out of place.
What could be changed is the color scheme/textures, I guess. But I like them as they are currently.
I will probably transform the Phantom's spear into a playable spear for the human form.
I think that could work well for the Brute shift, to make that one stand out a bit more compared to Feral and Phantom. Phantom is obviously the most unique looking, but Feral and Brute are a bit samey other than colours and weapons. I feel like the plates could make it look more like the big brute one that is up close and personal, and leaves the Feral to be the quick unarmored one. At least sounds fitting to me in theory. Not sure how it'd be in practice though.
Ohh, the Phantom forms spear would be a cool one. Not a spear person myself but that does feel like something thats really missing actually!

Have fun, modify them as you see fit.

If you fixed it yourself, that's great.
