I present to you: Ayame Summer Edition

(Also showcasing Musashi's Art v1.7 compatibility patch for Sekiro: Resurrection 1.12)


Required mod

Sekiro Mod Engine

Highly recommended mods

only fully female-voiced combined with both:

Kunoichi Voice Pack or the new 2B voice mod the whole game process (and set in-game language to Japanesesubtitles may remain English)
and
SLeNd3rMaN23's Female Injury Voice Replacement pack (pick any to your liking)
(linked to the updated mega-download from the comment-page, and here a how to install)

also check out the newly released:
(Almost Full) Dialogue Fix for Female Player Character (so all NPC-subtitles reflect using a female-model)


Known incompatibilities

- The outdated "DS3 and Bloodborne Material Pack" causes untextured bugsBut thanx to buddy97 there is an updated solution: "In case you face any texture problem with some new mods I recommend you that use this mtd MTD 1.06."
- Old Sekiro version(s).. You need 1.05 minimal! If you are running an older version you could try the above link to MTD 1.06 file..


Parts logic

MAIN-download consists of the following BASE-package files:
- AM Prosthetic Arm
- FC Ponytail (DarkGrey-color)
- LG OriginalSkin MASKED
All other version(s(such as Armor Covered and unmasked) are available as opt-download(s)

Basic info on the Ayame SE-model files and the parts they contain:
- FC_m_0200: Hair parts  (replace with a 1KB dummy-file and get a shorthair version..)
- AM_m_9000: Left-arm parts.. (prosthetic, 9010 pre-cut aka 'restored' arm possibly combine it with Invisible Prosthetic Tools or Invisible Gadgets)
- BD_m_9000&9040: Tengu belt, flask & rope (1 dummy-file BD_m_9030 makes you get this 'upgrade' after talking to Kuro)
- LG_m_9000: Main-body and textures

c0000.chrbnd.dcx: contained inside the CHR-folder, which should be next to the PARTS-folder. Only important to line-up the Red-Eyes-FX (from Red-Lumps), will only position correctly for this model.. thus making it incorrect for others like LB's Disciple and/or Ayame Physics Project (if on alt change-form slot or so..)

Installation

Unpack the downloaded archive (with 7zip and/or WinRAR) into your Sekiro game-folder (where the Sekiro.exe is located).
It should look like this: (installation-folder\mods\parts\<all files here> and \Chr\<with only the c0000.chrbnd.dcx here> next to it)

Blood-FX opts

Spoiler:  
Show
Ok.. not all the blood-spatters are the prettiest to see (and not knowing if I'll ever be able to improve it), here some recommendations for alternatives to combine this mod with:

- There is a highly compatible no blood-spatter option here since it works with a 'decaltex.tpf.dcx' file inside of a other-folder which should be placed into your mods-folder. I've never even seen that file being used by another mod, hence why I think it is a very compatible opt..

- A much less compatible opt but with potentially totally different results, is the 'Blood decals' mod. It works with an edit to the DecalParam which can be found and edited with Yapped (also works for Sekiro..) or DSMapStudio inside of the 'gameparam.parambnd.dcx' file. But because this is used by many other mods as well, you would have to manually edit the DecalParam for it to be compatible.. Still incase you are interested, here you can find an updated version "done over the mod 'Extended LOD V1.2' Link: Decalques de sangue (mediafire.com)". Obviously take the Less Blood option :)


File-name info for Ashina, Tengu and Shura change-forms

Spoiler:  
Show
Short-list:
- Ashina: FC_m_0220 and AM, BD & LG_m_9120
- Tengu: FC_m_0230 and AM, BD & LG_m_9130
- Shura: FC_m_0240 and AM, BD & LG_m_9110

Long-list(s):
Ashina change-form replacer, copy and rename these 4 files:
- FC_m_0200 to FC_m_0220
- AM_m_9000 to AM_m_9120
- BD_m_9000 to BD_m_9120
- LG_m_9000 to LG_m_9120

Tengu change-form replacer, copy and rename these 4 files:
- FC_m_0200 to FC_m_0230
- AM_m_9000 to AM_m_9130
- BD_m_9000 to BD_m_9130
- LG_m_9000 to LG_m_9130

My personal favorite, Shura change-form replacer with fire particles-FXCopy and rename these 4 files:
- FC_m_0200 to FC_m_0240
- AM_m_9000 to AM_m_9110
- BD_m_9000 to BD_m_9110
- LG_m_9000 to LG_m_9110

For easy change-form unlocking, I recommend using: Unlock All Outfits (the outfits stay unlocked on your save, so you only have to use it once and can then overwrite it with another mod as needed/wanted!). But you can also get the Shura Fire-FX on all forms (so you don't need to unlock) via this great mod: Musashi's Flame (with Red Eyes patch)

This way you can setup an alt equip-combo on each individual (unlocked) change-form and switch via the in-game idol-menu (NG required + completed Gauntlet). Or put alt-models in the change-form slots, like any combination of my mod(s): Ayame Physics ProjectLady Butterfly's Disciple and/or Ayame Summer Edition



Mods worth trying:

Spoiler:  
Show
(Compatible with this mod & the above recommended mods. But you may have to pick and choose cuz they aren't ALL compatible with each other..)

Spirit of Ashina: You come for a vanilla+ light overhaul-experience.. But stay for the AMAZING long distance views.. Also check the tips on mod-combos the author recommends. (Like the awesome Ashina Incarnation opt combo)

Shadow Blink - Standalone: awesome Mist Raven enhancement, 'Shadow Blink' (and opt 'Shadow Dash' ability combo) from Elden Arts as standalone-mod. Also easily imported into other mods that already use the 'c0000.anibnd.dcx' file, by unpacking the original files of both mods with Yabber. Then copy + overwrite the 'a74.tae' file (which should contain all the Mist Raven edits) to the mod you want it in and repacking the edited file again with Yabber. Look for more extensive guide written here..

Musashi's Art: Animation replacement for basic combo-attacks. (And there is also a Sekiro Resurrection (S:R) compatible version here: Hub of Changes - Musashi Art)

Sekiro Resurrection (S:R): There's also a 'How to Install Sekiro: Resurrection (Tutorial)(helpful to understand how to install more complex mods for Sekiro in general) and if you are having additional trouble, you can get in contact for help on discord! https://discord.gg/pRz8pQAbUz

Sekiro Hotkey System use the 4.0 version if the latest is giving headaches on use! Can also be used in conjunction with Sekiro Weapon Wheel if you should choose.. To install these kind of mods with 'mod-engine dependent mods' like mine follow these steps: "chainDInput8DLLPath="\SekiroWeaponWheel.dll"" is a copy of my personal Sekiro Weapon Wheel rename and chain-load add - copy/paste this in your modengine.ini if you also rename Sekiro Weapon Wheel's dinput8.dll to SekiroWeaponWheel.dll
"Chainloading allows the game to load Mod Engine's dinput8 file, which can then load whatever file is specified in the modengine.ini file."


Outro (no important info):
This has been a project of passion.. I loved the original mod but really missed physics-parts. It makes any model come to life in my opinion.. but it feels some of you felt I went a step to far when adding a cape :P. So here it is, the way I feel a 'no cape' version should be. It's not all perfect.. I tried my best with what I had and could do (and as always will update with anymore progress I make!)
