Hoodless Io Collection by Mattatatta
Version 2.0
What's new in V2.0:
- Updated ALL Io body models to restore eye animations, drain attack red eye colour, and communal gift glow.
- Updated ALL Veils with new cloth physics.
- Added a Misc download that includes veils only .paks, intended for use with other Io mods. Provided as is. Requires Modular CORE.
Inspired by an older mod by persius31 that has been broken for a long time, this mod removes the hood from Io's veil and fixes issues caused by doing this, such as fixing the hole that appears in Io's head, remaking the cloth physics, and bringing back facial animations.
This mod replaces both the body model and veil model of:
- Normal Io
- Cutscene Io (this model is also used in Home Base when Io is not napping or thinking of napping)
- ALL Anothers costumes (Alternate and the colour variants)
- Io Yami costume (Dark version)
- Mod is available in All-in-One and Modular flavours.
- Attendants are untouched, because they are not Io.
- Alternate download for Io Yami costume that does not have the horn sticking out of her head (Modular only).
- Modular version allows for flexibility between Io mods and vanilla, allowing a user to install Hoodless Io for specific Io costumes while leaving others alone. There is a big asterisk for this, which shall be explained under "Considerations" below.
Additional changes/notes:
- Though it was not the focus of this mod, Io's facemorphs have been carefully recreated and restored with the use of Aneox's morphs as a base, and a great deal of time and care on my part adjusting them for the best quality I can muster. You might not notice any difference between this mod's Io's expressions and the Io in vanilla unless you're keen-eyed. This was the goal.
- There is an experimental "Veils Only" version that can be used as an override for the Modular and All-in-One versions of this mod to provide possible compatibility with other Io mods. The download is under the Misc section, and it has its own readme instructions.
- Decide between the All-in-One or Modular version of the mod and download the files of your choice.
Do note that the Modular version requires the CORE file. The CORE is compatible with V1 and V2 .paks - Navigate to where your copy of Code Vein is installed, and go to:
"...\CodeVein\Content\Paks\~mods"
If the "~mods" folder does not exist, create it yourself. - Place the .pak file(s) inside the ~mods folder.
Do not use the All-in-One version with any files from the modular version
If trying out the Yami modular file, do not use both Yami files at the same time. - Install done!
Considerations when using other Io mods with (or without) the Hoodless Io mod:
- The Io Another (Alternate) line of costumes all reference some common textures from regular Io, such as her hair, eyes, and face textures. Any changes to those textures (such as through installing a mod for regular Io that retextures her) will also impact the textures of all Io Another variants.
- In addition, the Io Another1 and Another2 colour variants share the same skin texture with Io Another, so any changes to Io Another's skin texture will be reflected in the colour variants.
- There should not be any problems if a given Io mod only modifies the model, but if an Io mod comes along that radically alters these shared textures, expect things to break.
Because facemorphs are time-consuming and daunting to anyone wanting to make NPC mods, and to follow in the spirit of Aneox's contribution to Code Vein modding, I have released my Io facemorphs .blend file as a resource on the CV Modding Discord. Anyone interested in modding NPCs (or making mods in general) should join the Discord.
Credits and thanks:
- Aneox for making a face morphs pack. Thank you for sharing that pack and making life easier for other NPC modders.
- PraisetheSun for spending a lot of time helping me get the model to work.
- Yerba for saving me hours with one simple trick (telling me where X-axis mirror editing is (top right in blender 2.8 near options drop-down) so I can tweak the face morphs twice as fast).
- Stealthunt3r for tips on cloth painting, explaining their method of using custom physics assets, and figuring out communal gift eye glow. I aspire to have your patience and knowledge that no doubt only comes from making all those Mia mods.
- fatihG_ for their guide on setting up cloth physics. Cloth physics have shortened my life expectancy, your video helped claim some of that back.
- Chonkinator for advice on getting the cloth physics to behave.
- Telli for figuring restoring eye animations and drain attack eye colour.
- UnitDragon for testing an early version of the Io Alts and enduring the crashes I caused.
- Karma for extensive testing of later versions right up until release; and for enduring the nightmare of Ios with holes in their heads.
- Yerba again, but this time for checking the Io Alts too.
Screenshots are always appreciated, especially if they're of the Alternate recolours since I haven't taken any for those.
