Oh, is that all it was?
Hmm... I'll give that a shot, though I do find it strange that I seem to be the only one noticing or complaining about such an issue.
T
Thanks for the rep! Yup, that's Simona on the left and Sylvia in the middle. Usually can't have one without the other!
T
Ooh, Kyla! :P And thanks for the new girl Zoey's card, as well!
Hmm... looking at your cards, I guess I'm not alone with the aliasing/quality issue going on with NEO, as I can see some major jaggies along the skin.
Happy to see you got that running, again, though I am curious how you got it workin'.

Ahh, a new cards project, eh? Looks like fun, I'll definitely be keeping my eyes on this!
Ugh, I hate to be such a negative nelly, but this whole NEO/quality issue has been driving me bonkers. I can't not notice the issues, and I end up ultimately doing nothing. : /
I solved the 4k, but it took me about 8-9 attempts doing so. Something went bad in my 32x and 64x folders over and over. If it wasn't the 4k refusing to work, it were a loopy-loop on start-up of NEO.
I can't really say if it is BA's fault or not, but things went sour after I installed it. I'm guessing on that it's relatively safe to install.
So yeah, 4k should work for HS and NEO, but not yet for BA.

No new H animations from what I could see, but quite a few new battle animations for various kind of weapons and without (punches and kicks), along with "dying" animations.
New animations you say? Are they H animations or normal ones? Were you able to figure out the 4K situation as well? I'm still hesitant on updating.
T
Oh, duh, wasn't expecting Battle Arena to already garner its own abbreviation. Yup, it's gotta be BA, then. I'm so tempted to install it, but again, your experience has left me weary of it.
Hmm, well, that's to be expected, since that still probably needs to be updated for this latest DLC. Not seeing what the contents are, yet, I can't make any judgment calls.

Rest your sleepy mush brain! Catch ya lata!
T
Wait, what's BA? The AdjustMod? Anyway, that is pretty strange.

Indeed... I should be ashamed of myself for that! I guess I got too caught up in the hilarity of her headsize to pan down and check out her giant rack! XD
T
No worries, I know how the sleep deprived brain turns to mush all too well.

NEO is in a loading loop? I remember other people saying that happened to them, but I can't remember why and what fixed it.

And, about that pic, jeez, did you Adjust Ki's boobs, too!? They're HUGE, lol!
T
You don't want cyberbeing's old version, unless you want to mess up your game.

It's SBX 2.5d, now, and you should use it! >_< And yes, you MUST use the test version of plasticmind's graphics patch, otherwise, again, you'll have issues.

Silly guy, why don't you just save all the outfits? That's what the feature is for! The nail polish I understand, though. Oh, and did you know that since the DLC update from a couple weeks ago that we could now save our Face and Body settings in the Maker? Very handy!
That's another way to save yourself the trouble of making so many cards for one character.

(Now replying to your latest post)

Oh, really? Didn't you get the latest version, too?
Oh wait, lol! Remember when you made that "ME SOOO ANGRY!!!" pic for me with Ki awhile back? I'll bet that's what it's from! XD

Well, glad to hear you got that fixed!

Anyway, here's that pack for you!

HS Stuff 4 Syncroz

Plus, I'm using these new face skin textures for some of my girls, now, so I'd grab this, too!

[0323] U43_Face_Skin_Mod

Oops, forgot the actual 4k skins! (That other link was for the Graphics Patch) It's from April, since he hasn't made any updates to them since, nor do I think he will, considering he's calling it "Final".
Just download the SBX2.5 version you see.

T
Wait, which version of the 4k mod have you been using? I hope that you're using the newest, otherwise that's probably why you're having issues.

Here's a better Preset and newer, better curve (better contrast) that I tinkered with to come up with my own setting.

If you'd like to check out the one I came up with, I'll upload it for ya.

Do you have the latest SBX, too, btw?
SBX2.5d
Hotfix to apply afterwards
I'd install the SBX after the 4k, too. Always to be on the safe side, apply both patches after installation.

Hmm, I wonder if I should just compile another megapack of essentials for you to download? It would all be maker oriented, and nothing to do with clothing.

5 cards!? What's different between them?
T
Really, only Ki's? I wonder why that would be? Is there anything different with her card from everyone else's? Maybe try reapplying the wideslider patch?
I'd wait and hope that plasticmind updates the 4k skin, soon, since he implied pretty heavily that he was going to do that this weekend.
T
Yeah, I just checked, you keep the Intensity in the 20's. I tend to go 40+ for Intensity; with Softness, somewhere in the 70-100 range.
Never thought about kicking up the softness more, though, since with the added Intensity the results can be a bit messy. I'll have to take a look.
Thank you, I WILL go for it! ^_^ It just bothers me that most of them regard that style of skin as if it were the right and only way to do it...
I refuse! I'm rebellious by nature, anyway, so I guess it's not too surprising.

I wouldn't doubt that it has something to do with that new update. I haven't installed it, and I'm still scared to do it, so I can't look into it, for ya.
T
Had yourself some Stellaris fun with Q? It's good to just kick back and have fun with games, though, so nothing wrong with that!
On the other hand, lol, yeah, very dangerous when it comes to time for other things.

No biggie, all I've been doing is going through my girls, again, and ended up giving Jeon Min-Ah a makeover. That said, I do miss the heavy specular and the way the skins looked in the old studio.
I wonder if I should just crank the skin Intensity/Softness for all my girls a little bit to get back that look? I know most of these creators follow the boring rule of low shine to get a more smooth, "realistic" skin tone, but I find the look to be pretty dull most of the time.
What do you think? I recall your girls mostly having a lot of Softness to get that oiled-up look, but not too much in the Intensity.
T
Jeez, sounds like you're ready to fork out the cash. I'm currently running with an FX-8370 and a recently acquired MSI GTX-1060 6GB. It'll be awhile, but I think I'll eventually make the jump to an Intel processor. It just feels like AMD has run its course, and isn't up to snuff with Intel processors.
I don't know, though, are their latest processors a step in a new, more promising direction?
T
Ahh, well, I don't blame you for trying, then. The battle arena does seem like it could be fun, so I'm happy that the rumor of it being for only Japanese Internet use was false.

Nonetheless, I will wait until the 4k and other mod dust has settled until I take a dive like that.

Brick would just take the punch and consider that a first step in scoring with her, too, ha ha!
You get a bunch of new animations, supposed to get some new costume parts, although I haven't checked those out yet, I saw that there may be at least one new map and some new
studio objects. Although, if you ain't me, you may need to install the pre-battle arena patch to take use of the new animations.
T
Man, this happens to you a lot with the 4k stuff. I hope you didn't install yesterdays update, because it didn't really have anything other than prep files for the next update. Most of us are waiting for next weeks, which WILL include new clothing, StudioNEO stuff, etc.
I left you some help on the 4k skin thread, so hopefully you can fix all that.

I would never underestimate the incomparable Zin, and I'd advise you to do the same with Brick! (He loves the ladies, and to be fair, Yvette's had her eye on him for quite some time...)
<---Brick's introduction back in March of last year... nevertheless, if Zin's around, I'll let Brick back away from her 'toy', lol.

Edit: The other option, which I'll probably end up doing, is waiting on plasticmind's 4k update, since he did mention that he was waiting on yesterday's update from Illusion, and that he'd probably finish it up this weekend.
Well that's annoying. I'm gonna hold out on updating until the 4k stuff gets figured out. Do you know if anything was added to the studio or is this update just for the battle arena?
I asked over at the 4k diffuse thread, although, no one else has so far said anything about it.
I kinda expected something to happen, but I'm guessing on that the 4k diffuse pack might need an update.

Regardless, the battle arena is pretty cool in the sense that you can IK/FK pose your characters
for their battle card. Haven't toyed too much with it. Were trying to get my 4k diffuse pack to work for NEO again, gave up after sum hours
and then we did play Stellaris for a while.
I haven't installed it yet maybe tmrw since I'm at work right now. Are other ppl experiencing these issues too? Seems like every time an update comes out there's always issues. Must be frustrating for modders.
