Dec 11, 2018 I'm trying to make a game (and put it on Patreon and hopefully make it my fulltime job), I know enough to make the art (made many characters, poses, textures) I have a script and gameplay ideas, but never found motivation to learn enough Ren'py yet.
TK17 ESSENTIALS INSTALLATION GUIDE Last updated: 30th of March, 2015 TABLE OF CONTENTS 1. CORE FILES - Mandatory/highly recommended stuff. ESSENTIALS - Mods that add additional gameplay value/allow certain other mods to work 3. GRAPHICS - 1. HOOKS AND RELATED - Shaders, bumpmaps, and more. 4X TEXTURES - High-definition textures. OTHER STUFF - Some other things to look into.
TOASTER TOOLS - Alternatives for low-end computers. BODY AND FACE MESHES - New and superior character meshes 5. CONTENT MODS - Everything subjective. CORE FILES ### # You should always install ALL of this since it is crucial for the game to run and a lot of mods to work properly. Only leave out stuff if you know what you are doing. # TK17 - Version 7.5 # magnet:?xt=urn:btih:2589440A4E4689AF159A742CD256ED3535EEBCEE&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.openbittorrent.com%3A80%2Fannounce& The game itself.
# 7.5.1.5 Official Update # You also need the following files for some of the content added in previous updates. You do NOT need the old update patches themselves, only the files explicitly listed below!
Extra.ModSkirts1.rar - Extra.GagsAndMisc.rar - Voice0208.Audio.rar and Voice0209.Audio.rar - This updates the game to the latest version (some new content, script changes.). Should always be done for mod compatibility, unless you want to use something obscure and know what you're doing. Official game updates do not happen very frequently, so do not worry about that. # Memory Patch & Orca Mod # Grab the file from the first url and install all files BUT 'Custom.000.B01.txx' from the 'Orca's mod with memory patch' folder. Then grab the file from the second url and put it into the Archive/2.114.001 directory of your game installation (where all other.txx files are).
The memory patch allows the game to use more RAM, which makes it crash less (especially if you're using a mod-heavy installation or stuff like 4x textures). Orca's mod adds some new sliders and options to the pose editor, and is required for a lot of custom poses. There are some compatibility issues with other mods if not taken care of, but pretty much all mods which this applies to offer Orca-compatible versions.
# ActiveMod Plus # Allows mods to edit more textures (i.e. Does not conflict with anything, so no reason to not grab this. # Orgasm Mod # Adds more options and shortkeys to the game, in particular triggering orgasms in Pose Edit mode and a 'floating' customizer window. ESSENTIALS ### # Stuff that adds new features and does not cause any major conflicts. # JSGME Mod Manager # A simple mod manager. Makes installing a lot of (new) mods a bit easier. Probably won't work with pretty much all older mods and some newer mods as well.
Personally I prefer the manual method, but a lot of people use this. # R9 Add-on Scripts # This provides a framework for add-on mods (basically mods that add completely new items instead of just replacing meshes or textures that are already there). This is being updated VERY often, so make sure to grab the latest version from that thread (normally can be found in the latest post). It is also required for some of the best mods and, in particular, pretty much any decent hair mod out there. # HairSizer Mod # Adds a ton of new customizer stuff and options to the game, such as hair sizing independent from item sizing, actual eyeball scaling, and much more. Has some small issues with Orca's mod (in particular, the cum liquid becomes a huge brown turd), but those are few and far between. Make sure to delete 'Custom.000.B01.txx' if you are using this AND Orca.
# Extreme Scaling Mod # Basically HairSizer Mod with a couple of more features that allow advanced scaling of body parts. There is also a newer, experimental version than the one linked above in the same thread, but it replaces old sliders for its scaling options. Make sure to delete 'Custom.000.B01.txx' if you are using this AND Orca. Either install this or the HairSizer Mod, both are redundant and will cause errors. # Liquid Replacer Mod # This mod modifies some of the liquids added by Orca's mod.
The archive contains everything you need, so remove your previous Orca's Mod installation (in particular, make sure to delete 'Custom.000.B01.txx'). NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE MOST RECENT HAIRSIZER OR EXTREME SCALING MOD. Both edit the animation core files, which causes conflicts. GRAPHICS - HOOKS AND RELATED ### # Hooks are pretty much what makes this game worth anything visually. Just look at some TK17 screenshots in the thread and compare them to your base installation - 90% of that difference is through hooks. Now, which hook you should get, and even if you can get any hook running at all, depends on your machine. While the game itself can easily run on a toaster, the new hook versions will not work on shitty computers.
This section will only cover stuff that assumes your machine can at least run hook 3 or onwards (and thus your game can use bumpmaps). If your machine is too shitty for that, check out the 'TOASTER TOOLS' section. # HOOK 4 - Core files # If your computer can run it, then get this version. Adds tons of graphic improvements, in particular bumpmaps, proper shadows and since recently even loading custom models into the game. To make this work, you need to pick 'DirectX' graphics in the game settings.
I also recommend running the game.exe manually from the 'Binaries' folder instead of the launcher. If you have problems, check ModsGarden for support or try a previous hook version.
You can change settings (such as model outline, wetness, bloom.) in the 'main.fx' file. Be warned that Hook 4 is still in development, so most presets found on ModsGarden will NOT work with the most recent version without modifying them first. # HOOK 4 - Disco Shaders # Improves the default Hook 4 shaders, especially for cum and hair. This mod also requires the Nriched Cum mod (overwrite its files by the Disco files when promted) and should be used with shoxx' hair shader texture set (for both mods see below).

# HOOK 4 - Room Level Definition Files # Basically Hook4 adds some nice lightning options, for which level definitions are required for each room which is supposed to use that feature. A bunch of presets for most default game rooms (and some custom rooms as well) can be found in this thread. Just grab what you want. # HOOK 3 - Core files # Only use this if your machine is too shitty for Hook 4 or you encounter any other strange problems with it which for some reason are not in place with Hook 3. There is a bunch of presets in the ModsGarden thread, make sure to check it out.
If you get black cumshots for some reason, try installing this: # HOOK 3 - Hair Shaders # Basic hair shaders for hook 3. The premade shaders modify a bunch of addon hairs, and unless you use some addon hairs (which you should), there is no point in getting this. For the hook 4 version, get Disco Shaders. You also might want to check out this: # GENERAL - GEMFX # Basically improves graphics even more, by implementing some better shaders and SweetFX. # GENERAL - SweetFX # If your computer is too shitty for GEMFX or you have other reasons to avoid it but still want to improve the looks of your game, you might want to try this.
# BUMPMAPS - Nriched Cum # Adds bumpmaps to cum textures, which turns it from white paint to something much better. For hook 4, make sure to also grab Disco Shaders in addition to this.
This mod requires ActiveMod Plus, which you should have installed anyway if you follow this guide. # BUMPMAPS - Fabrics # More useful if you know a bit about mods, those are some general bumpmaps for clothing and fabrics. They will not automatically add bumpmaps to any of your clothing, but can be added to individual mods. # BUMPMAPS - Eye specular # Adds a neat bumpmap to the eyeball of models. Probably less useful if used with Disco shaders and mainly of interest to Hook 3 users. # BUMPMAPS - Eye Iris specular # Specular for default eye irises.

Mainly of interest if you are not using 4x textures. # BUMPMAPS - Less shiny teeth # Adds a bumpmap to the teeth to make them more realistic and less shiny. Probably less useful if used with Disco shaders and mainly of interest to Hook 3 users. # BUMPMAPS - Skin bumpmaps # As for bumpmaps for skin, face., it depends on taste. There are plenty of bumpmaps in the corresponding ModsGarden thread. In some cases, the mod also only contains the bumpmaps and no skin, which means a seperate skin mod is required for it. Some selected bumpmaps and sets to get you started: FEMALE/SHEMALE Fit female: VS (plumb look): Realistic look: Skinny look: Wet skin: MALE Defined (a bit of a plastic figure look in my opinion): Muscular: Even more muscular: (you also need these: OTHER Condom: Male genitals: # ### 3.2.
GRAPHICS - 4X TEXTURES ### # Out of the box, game textures are quite ugly. While bumpmaps somewhat improve on this, there are also mods to change the textures themselves and increase resolution of some textures.
I'm really disapointed that you would dress this up with a nice picture that nobody can attain without extra work. Why would you release a vanilla copy with hook slapped on? This is the exact reason this game is not getting any attention on this site.
So you give 7.5 + update to 7.5.1.5 and you give the hook5 basic archive. In order to see hook5 benefits you must have. hook5 body skin. hook5 level definition for level (x). hook5 starter kit??? More than likely the user would also want/need.
4x texture mod. 4x textures Here's my noob starter WIP links and information repository. ATM it doesn't have any instructions but rather links for most of the repacks minus a few of the newer ones. You must be registered to see medias. Copy the raw text or the top section if you know what you are doing and paste in notepad or sublime for the formatting to be correct.
I suggest if you are a noob you go with hook4 and start with the LORD HUNT repack. There are 2 to choose from with the one titled 'TK17RePack-nobody.rar' being newer than the original release from LORD HUNT titled 'TK17LHULTIMATECUT.zip'. I suggest the newer one becuase the seeds might be more active plus it has fixes to LH's original. Either my understanding is wrong, or your not getting at what I'm saying. (I think/ I thought) Hook5 has nothing to do with the texture size 1x / 4x. In other words, you can be using normal 1x textures with a hook5 skin. If I find that I download a model and she is using 1x textures when I am running the game with the 4x mod I will simply go into activemod folder, find the skin, then upconvert all the textures to 4x standards.
Sure it won't be as good as a skin designed for 4k, but at least there won't be artifacts and fucked up looking skin on the model. But I could be wrong, maybe hook5 means 4k 100% of the time. I know the 'Female skin for h5' in the starter content pack is 4k. Entertain me and try this. Just in case, as I don't know the version OP included, here is the. You must be registered to see links Directions:.
Extract updated hook files from 'hook5basicversion.zip' to 'Binaries' folder. Extract 'ActiveMod' folder from 'StarterContent.zip' to 'Mod' folder. open 'main11.fx' and update the path for the default room and the customizer room. The reason for this is because hook5 basic doesn't allow you to use the hook menu which allows you to place lights etc, and the cubemap (just think about this as the environment light source for now) is commented out in the 'default room settings', but not commented out in the 'customzier room settings'.
So assuming the path is correct and that you have left it default, which again is customizer room cubemap enabled and default room disabled, you will encounter a bluish customizer room, but when you go to a proper hook5 room (meaning it has a proper hook5 level definition), it will most likely be pitch black as no lights are placed and the 'environment lights' aka cubemap is disabled. This can be avoided by using a third party level definition and not one from the starter pack (who knows this problem could be fixed. You must be registered to see medias I suggest you remove the ';' designated character for comment, and just leave the cubemap and the EveningField.dds For the best demonstration, select the level Rh5pPhotostudioPs, then when the game starts make sure to switch the skin to one 3.
1, 2 & 3 are stock skins, 4+ will be custom. Look for the one that says 'Female skin for h5' If for some reason the skin is black, just drag the tan/skin darkness slider any movement and it will clear up.
If for some reason you are running 4k and the Note:. F11 resets/reloads hook5. ALT + R resets/reloads textures.
The Vagina or Genitalia from 'Female skin for h5' seems to be 1k when the rest of the body is 4k. I think it's only the one. It's easy to scale up or down using one of many programs. Personally I like Irfan Viewer for single conversions, but if I need to convert a whole folder or many files within folders I will use nconvert which is CLI (or cmd) based / recursive bat. Check in your game folder( where the exe in binary) and look if you have an file named 'mainfxerros.txt'. If you have this file, delete it, then restart the game normally using the TK17-114.001.exe and it should work thats the only way i have find to fix this, now my game start in directx.snip- pain in ass, but actually the only way for me to launch the game with directx and hook5 EDIT: actually you CAN start the game without deleting the file everytime. But 2 things: 1 - you need to delete the file at least 1 time (because its based on someone else pc spec) 2 - when you clic for start it and it launch, DONT TOUCH anything on your keyboard/mouse for like a minute or two and let the blackscreen, it gonna start the game if you dont touch anything.
Soo, its kind of fixed. For me it doesn't work with any.exe excet the one from binaries folder, even if I don't touch anything but I dont care tbh as long as it works.however, does anybody know where to get binaries folders with finished hook 5 settings? I've searched modsgarden but didn't found any binaries where all settings are done. I'm relly terrible when it comes to graphical settings and enhacements like shaders, lights. Furthermore my F1 - F9 buttons on the keyboards and also 1 - 0 digits doesn't work anymore but the digits-block do, which is strange erservingface.
So I'm not even able to change the settings in-game.
