Modding Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown PC/RPCS3

What up fellas, it' been a minute. I've recently been messing around with modding the RPCPS3 version just to see if it was possible and if so, just exactly how much was possible. Turns out we can mod pretty much everything in this game. Shout outs to Thesch28 for the heads up on the music files. We're able to not only modify the music files but models and textures as well. with the help of this a program called MikuMikumodel https://github.com/blueskythlikesclouds/MikuMikuLibrary/releases
I was even able to swap out one of Dural's random stages for the secret License Challenge Space version but it's still very buggy: You can see it in action in this clip https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ur-uRvjgR9E&feature=youtu.be

The tools you'll need:

- For modding the music: Download PES Sound file converter https://www.moddingway.com/file/5716.html This program will allow you to convert the mp3 files into ADX files allowing you to customize your music.
Once modified, you would just need to replace the music file name to whichever stage or sound effect that you want. Make sure to backup the bgm folder just in case you want to go back to the original soundtrack. The folder is in:
RPCS3\dev_hdd0\game\NPUB30625\USRDIR\rom\sound\bgm

- Textures and Models: MikuMikuModel https://github.com/blueskythlikesclouds/MikuMikuLibrary/releases for extracting and replacing textures and models.

- To convert .png to .dds files vice versa: DXTBMP https://www.mwgfx.co.uk/programs/dxtbmp.htm

- Gimp (Textures) https://www.gimp.org/downloads/
- Blender (Models) https://www.blender.org/download/

Directory: RPCS3\dev_hdd0\game\NPUB30625\USRDIR\rom\objset

The stage files all start with "stg" again make sure to backup the objset folder if you ever want to go back to the original stages. Hopefully someone can get the Dural stage to work.

 

You guys modding VF5FS? Cool!

Can you mod it to show us the hurtboxes and hitboxes? This is the mod I've been waiting for

 

It's possible, there are tons of files to look into, but I've only been experimenting with basic mods.

bro i love it. Does this work online yet?

 

Ha ha glad you like it, got bored of the old menu screen. Currently the best way to play it online is with Parsec. GGPO was recently implemented into the Dolphin emulator for Melee. Figuring out how to do the same for RPCS3 would be ideal for this game.

you're a gentleman and a scholar for these mods

 

Thank you, I appreciate it.

Thank you so much for this

 

Ooh shit this is dope!

 

Is it possible to bring back high quality voices from vanilla version, instead of FS low sampling rate audio ?

 

i should probably say that most of the modding has been carried on in TheVirtuaFighters discord, in case anyone is interested to see the progress we have made. https://discord.gg/JMECKkN


i made this out of appreciation for this site, i'll upload the file here and on discord.

soon we will have a video tutorial on how to actually make/install mods, it's very easy and everyone should be able to do it.

 

yeah it's possible, i haven't personally looked into the voice clips yet, but audio files(Music/SE) are extremely easy to mod/replace.

 

I know I'm extremely late on this topic, but is there a way to mod the game to remove the "Winner"/"Loser" text on the screen after battles? I know this may sound silly, but I've always wanted to take some nice screenshots of winning/losing poses but that text is always in front of the characters and it just ruins everything.

 

That depends on if it's text or a texture, either way you should be able to remove it but text would be harder. May be better to ask that question in the mods channel on the VF discord though https://discord.gg/JMECKkN

 

i believe i saw those in a texture map, so it should definitely be possible

i can go through them again when i get home

 

Nice. You modding guys are doing some really great work, especially with the costumes. Thanks for all of the great work so far dudes.
