Blade & Soul - Blood Raid (Yun Outfit) Mod

In this post, I have finally get to this mod that was requested almost one month ago. There had been several requests for Yun outfit mods before this request came along, and I need to juggle among the three races to share the love. 😰 But better late than never, so let us get into the Yun Blood Raid mod now.

From my previous post on Jin Blood Raid, you will probably know that this outfit is an event outfit that was released together with the Gunslinger launch. After all, this outfit is designed specifically with the Gunslinger class in mind and was even worn by one of the Gunslinger characters in the launching screen.

If we are to compare the Blood Raid outfit for all three races, they look exactly the same. The same blood red and shiny jacket with lots of straps, complete with a skirt of the same shiny red texture over a pair of black tights. Let's take a look at the original Yun outfit below so you can compare it to the Jin's version.

How similar is it to the Jin's version?

Front Close-up View - Original Outfit
Wow! Straps.

Rear View - Original Outfit
Straps...

Rear Close-up View - Original Outfit
And more Straps. 😆

Side View - Original Outfit
We can also see the same symbol, glowing in between the straps, on the left arm.

For the mod, I had intended to do something similar to the Jin's mod, with the pants and mid torso section recolored to skin layer. The pants portion of the mod was done without problem. However, it seems that the jacket layer for the Yun's version is 'floating' too far above the skin layer. As such, attempting to recolor the mid torso portion to skin layer would result in a 'floating' skin layer, which will look weird. 😰

And so, I gave up on the attempt and turned my focus to the center of the torso including the cleavage region. I tried to do this same modification before on the Jin's mod but realized that it revealed too much and so had to thrash the idea.

On this second attempt, I tried trimming the overlapping textures in the center part of the jacket, instead of trying to totally remove them. I trimmed the texture to half its original width and it works! The top main layer and lower extension layer overlap perfectly without revealing discontinuity. Why didn't I think of that for the Jin's mod!  😧 

Looks like the Yun race is destined to get a better cleavage view.  😝

For this portion of the mod to work, the zips will have to be removed else they will look as if they are floating. However, doing so reveals a small hole right at the bottom of the 'V' opening. 😑  So, I patch the hole as good as I could and even retain the 'floating' zippers (both zippers share the same texture so it is either both or none at all) to help hide it. But a small part of the hole is still present nevertheless. Guess I will have to live with it.  😰

Check out the mod below.

Ah! No more black pants. 😅

The center of the jacket has been trimmed and the zips removed. But that 'floating' zipper... 😰

So what do you think of this mod? And did you manage to spot the remnant hole?

    1. I didn't create the tool so I don't really know how it works but what error did you get when using it?

    2. there're many errors that list on a few pages when i try to convert dss files into upk, these error look like some components of programming language. The costume i have is Dreamcutter topless mod for Jinf, i really want it in my game but unfortunately there're no copy of it anywhere except Gonf version. I were asked on BnsBuddy forum too and no one help.

    4. Hmm, BnsBuddy forum may not have the answer and the developer's site seem to be down too. 😰 May I know which package file is that?

      And did you try to extract the same package and immediately re-package it to see if the tool recognize the package?

    6. Ah! You are using Naduron's mod. The mod is actually injected realtime into game using UMod tool. UPKManager cannot package it because it needs all the files (Diffuse, Mask, Specular and Normals) in the correct naming convention and DTX5 DDS format. 😰

      Delete
  3. but the one who post Gonf version said he repacked it into upk files from Naduron's Gonf mod :v and by the way UMod not work on my pc too.

    1. Yeah. That's why I was asking you for the package filename so as to extract the other missing files to re-pack with Naduron's Diffuse file. Anyway, I found the package and re-packed with Naduron's file. You can get it at: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1rT3xc_GVoogdP2Ua5E9F4RZhtP6CdMjc Let me know once you got it, so I can remove it. 😅

    6. i tested, the shape of breast are abnormal, it's concave from below :v do you have any idea?

      Delete
    7. Hmm... I cannot be sure of the cause. The normal file is the original one from game so the surfaces should display similar to the original outfit as well. 😰

      Delete
    8. yeah, it's look normal when you look at directly but when you view it on side it's not normal.

      Delete
    9. hope i can find a perfect version in future :)) anyway thanks again for your help, have a good day.
