WIP report 2026-10-16

Hi, I'm working on a DD2(Dragon's Dogma 2) mod. I love this game, the DLC was fine, but after a week working on this mod, I recalled how difficult it was to make DD2 mods.

all armors in this game are combined using different parts from different files, which means edit 1 file may result to affect several armors in game, causing a lot of possible collission and unmatch issues.

the body customize system result to 2 weight systems, 1 for body shape and 1 for animation, making it difficult to paint weight. further more, the game have restricted weight limits, which will break smooth weights, result to collissions in some character animations.

the game also have 2 UV systems, 1 for basic textures 1 for effect textures, create new mesh and apply vanilla textures is more difficult.

finally almost all armors in this game use gpuc physics, any edit to model will break gpuc physics and there is so far no method to edit gpuc so I can't make any mod with physics.

I had more plans for DD2 DLC armors while playing but realize how difficult and restricted to make DD2 mods, I guess I will only make 2~3 mod for it. the image shows the mod I'm working on, it will be released next week. after that, I will fix my old mods, then perhaps make 1 or 2 new mods.

after that I will turn to Phantom Blade Zero.
