Dead or Alive series formats and tools

[Darko]

Dead or Alive 5 Last Round is coming to steam in the same release date as nextgen consoles.

[Lilstormcloud]

good news, going to totally dig that anti aliasing.

[Rosalin]

Now it's not the matter of anti-aliasing.
It's going to be about enb, 1080p, 4k resolution.

I hope TMC, TMCL file structure should stay unchanged.

[Lilstormcloud]

could be nice with DOF effects for photoes.
Though I'm too skeptical to hope for too much atm.

Wonder if they'll include the new hair and stages, they literally have no excuses not to include them now.
Unlike all that "360/ps3 cant handle new hair styles" bs.

Actually yes, DOA5LR is gonna be available for 360 and PS3 too:

Made a small program for .bcm files editing.
Credit for characters IDs goes to b0ny.

Updated version are attached to this post. Functionality of "Open" (editing .bcm) is same, while "New" allows to create DLC files for one character/costume from scratch.
Notes on creating DLC:

• Minimum necessary set of files are: *.TMC, *.TMCL, *.---C, *.--P. File names are irrelevant. File extensions should strictly follow the example.
• Filenames for additional textures should look like this: *1.--H, *1.--HL, *2.--H, etc. Don't forget to change "Add. textures" count when adding these textures.
• If your costume with additional textures crashes the game - check *.--H files (they should start with "texch"). Refer to this post: viewtopic.php?p=98718#p98718
• Don't forget to change costume slot. Default (0) is likely already used. See "Free slots.txt".

"dlc5u.dat" is DLC section of file names table (for 1.09 version of the game). Interesting notes on it:
Some names for some characters are skipped. Hence the difference in numeration between names table and archivarius' database.
For some characters names of .--P files starts from 2/5/7 instead of 1 for the first file. They are listed with wrong names for the sake of name matching.
Lisa's costume in "Halloween Costume 2014 Set" DLC uses "MILA_DLCU_018" name. Seems, game checks only part of file name (slot number). Maybe it's possible to use other characters' free names. - it was just error in doa5Uarchivarius.dat.
To find file's name position (for .blp entry), use the line number - 1 (converted to hex, of course).

-------------------

Update: "New" now works for several characters.

I already have it but it's incomplete, I don't know the character's owner of those pants.

Edit:

Hitomi's pantys

Look for the terminanations in the dat file using the search function in notepad++

For example:

J1U251KK914

And note which character is sharing that termination.

The ones I couldn'd find:

Thanks, but... is there gonna be 32 costumes per female character?? that's fucking insane, I'm not surprise that Itadaki complained about what koei-tecmo and tm were doing to the franchise he created.

I think it's rather future-proof, so they don't need to release title updates (with additional names) for every new DLC. Also, with release of LR, DLCs names very likely to be changed.

-----------------

Here a small tool for converting .blp file entries to doa5Uarchivarius.dat entries (useful for new DLCs, or adding incompleted entries for old ones).

[JohnHudeski]

Hi guys Is there any way to check is this is the same File format as DOA?

I have checked the file structure and really don't feel like writing a converter
Thanks

[JohnHudeski]

BTW what is swizzling?
