4.15 Unreal project for modding Vampyr. This project includes dummied implementations of DONTNOD-proprietary asset formats to allow for retaining inverse kinematics and facial animation on modded characters.
Clone this repository, open the .uproject, and compile the necessary modules once prompted. When complete, the Unreal editor will open.
Support for compiling the project will not be provided as documentation is widely accessible elsewhere.
This project does not allow the creation or modification of BipedIKRig/FacialRig assets. Instead, it allows you to create placeholder assets in your project so that your modified skeletal meshes retain the necessary references to utilize features present on the originals. You should NOT package these placeholders with your mods!
Tutorial
To create placeholder BipedIKRig/FacialRig assets, right-click in the content browser and create a Data Asset, organized under Miscellaneous. From the class selection window, choose DNEAnimBipedIKRig or DNEAnimFacialRig. Name and place it according to the BipedIKRig/FacialRig asset(s) you wish to reference.
To configure your skeletal mesh to reference these placeholder assets, open your mesh and navigate to Asset User Data, creating and configuring the necessary elements. You can find the settings utilized by original skeletal meshes by opening them in FModel. For example, these are the settings for CH_Hero_VampYr02 (yes, that includes the empty slots):
React
Typescript
Django
Laravel
Facebook
Microsoft
Google
Alibaba
D3
Tencent
