Unreal Engine Abandoned Together BnB [8318119] [Aurora Games]

[grind3d]

Sounds like they made it so stuff gets fucked if you try to mod the game.

Once I get to a spot where I have a clear view as a saved game I'll try to make a patch file to replace textures.
I'm wondering if UE Viewer just can't handle something in the meshes in the pak file, since it is using a newer version of UE than most games I've opened. UE Viewer has options for up to 4.27 (this is 4.26) but who knows how well it supports those later versions.

If I remember correctly, the previous Together game apparently had everything (fully detailed) already in the pak file, it was a matter of making the underwear and clothing meshes empty or have invisible textures? It was on an older version of UE though.

Yeah TogetherVR has fully nude texture maps built into the game. Although there was no mesh detail so the nipples and vagina were flat. It has already been modded numerous times to enable a fully nude mode as well as various other dress state modes.

Games been updated on Steam btw for who ever pirated the thing.

Ah, well.. Must of skipped over that post, guess that one needs reported than to get the OP updated.

After taking a look through their patreon page it seems as though they've been working on this since January last year so I think there might actually be a surprising amount of "content" in the game already (story wise at least). Progressing the story just feels a bit unintuitive at times due to the slower pace and some bugs so, I imagine not many people have made it very far into what is actually available to play.

Such a shame as theres a ton of potential here.

P.S despite the voice acting being awful I think this girls voice actually suits Nana reasonably well. Just wish she was a bit more fluent in actual acting.

There's actually a new version of UE Viewer released today and it's able to open the meshes fine. I should have checked that first.

Any chance you could point me in the right direction for extracting the pak file please. My tools don't want to work for this pak file.

Using UE Viewer switch to flat view, highlight everything and either choose "Save Packages" the get the uasset files, or "Export" to get PNG/TGA textures and PSK Meshes. Set the version to 4.26. The latest UE Viewer can export the meshes, but actually it seems like most of this is about texture modding, the underwear/bath mesh bodies are complete without holes (but don't have nip/crotch mesh details).

I've figured some stuff out now. some of the clothing is coloured using textures in the /Game/CH/M folder.
By replacing them with transparent PNGs, they don't appear. Some clothing uses multiple textures from this folder for different materials (Emily's underwear uses R for it's base, but also White_Liner and other stuff)

I had Nana with no skirt and Emily with no bath underwear. The only problem is the skin AO and texture files have weird shadows and stuff. need clean base skin textures.

The optimization is horrible even if you have a decent rig. Will have to pass, the model does look fantastic though

Thanks for the help!

As for the skin AO and textures having odd shadows, I think it may due to the devs using contact shadows. The mesh of the underwear is still there so those contact shadows would still show up.

If you look at the texture and AO PNGs after exporting you can see they've shaded out areas they don't want visible (nipples, crotch). I actually swapped the AOs around and it did change what showed up, but there's no clean one, they all block something.

It looks like the AO is the base and the texture is full of transparency and sits on top of it to make a layered composite texture. If you combine them as layers in gimp/photoshop you'll see what I mean. You need to upsize the AO first to do that, it's 1024x1024 and the texture is 4096x4096.

Blanking the AO in those areas may be a solution but it would likely give us a final texture in game that is lacking shading, although it looks like it might be just cleavage, armpits and collar bone. I'm no artist so I'm not in a hurry to edit the texture files with the weird dithered transparency they have in them, but that AO change might be enough.

It's late here, so I'll probably take another crack at it tomorrow if no one else has got through it by then.

Ok.. Finally got around to playing a bit.. Vera and Emily... Mostly Emily since I've just started makes me think a fucking machine did the VA..

Judging by the first game, common sense says this will be [Completed] before sexual content is added

 

[Deleted member 3443062]

This game should be advertised as a cure for when humanity gave up on you, so you just lock yourself into your room and get depression. You - alone - with your waifus - which look awfully asian .... ( IM NOT RACIST is just that ... those eyes ... they stare back at you )

"I'm not racist..." says something pretty damn racist. Actually what it looks like is a person of asian descent that got double eyelid surgery. So basically they anglicised themsleves, so that should make you happy, huh?

 

[Deleted member 1399911]

Ok.. Confession time.... I was messing around the house with the assault rifle... I kind of killed Nana.. This needs the graphic violence tag.. As well as combat.. Technically though we see nothing and they are wearing underwear the whole fucking time, watching the girls bathe is voyeurism..

 

[Girm Ork]

I'm pretty sure the real reason this has NSC is because the developer is Chinese and porn is illegal in China. It would otherwise make absolutely no sense to publish a game like this with no sexual content because there's no market for it. People who wouldn't be into sexual content have no interest in games like this, and people who do have an interest in games like this want sexual content. Who is the audience for this?

I am not sure if porn games are illegal in China or not. But all Adults Only games are invisible for Chinese accounts in Steam.
Generally, it is not easy for Chinese people to get sexual content even if they want it.

It looks like the bodies in this and together VR were made with the same tool and use the same UV maps. I grabbed Mei's fully nude texture and AO file from together VR and put it in for Emily. That plus the transparent texture I mentioned before gave me this screenshot (When you jump at the blinds you clip into them for a bit and they disappear, so I took it while jumping)

The texture doesn't fit 100%, Mei's face texture has a spot for hair covering it, so it makes it look like Emily has a big dark spot on her forehead. And there's some black bits on her shoulders and the back of her arm.

I've attached Mei's textures from TogetherVR. You would put them into a UE4.26 project under Content\CH\Emily\E_All\M and use the AO in place of these ones: Body_AO, BodyNight_AO2, EBody_Batt_AO (yes, Batt, they had a typo in the game files), EBody_underwear_AO
And the texture in place of these ones: Body_Night2, EBody, EBody_Bath, EBody_underwear_D

I would cut it in together with Emily's existing texture, but her skin tone is different and I suck at adjusting colour balance. If someone wants to adjust skin tone and merge Mei's nudity in with Emily's face, arms, etc, that would be awesome.

Replacing a couple of textures under \Content\CH\M with transparent ones will make her underwear go away. I replaced R, White and White_Layer. This also made Nana's skirt disappear.as a side effect.

I just looked through the meshes in the pak. Looks like Vera (the girl in that screenshot) has nips defined in the mesh, but Nana and Emily don't. Weird of them to only do it on one girl.
