I also posted this on FSD, but decided to make a topic here as well.

Greetings, I decided to make a tutorial on Autolink, a tool that allows us to add costumes to the detail section, so we don't have to swap anything, or be limited by slots. This allows you to have an infinite amount of costumes.
It can also skip the opening movies and also has Camera controls, which allows you to slow-mo by pressing F1 and more.
This tool is made by 跌倒的貓 (FallingCat) from the 3dm forums. (http://bbs.3dmgame.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=5065534)

But first, the pros and cons of using it.

PROS

  • Can be used alongside DLC tool or lnk_reshuffle if you want;
  • As mentioned above, this won't use any free slot or replace any costume, so you can add as many as you want;
  • The name of the costume files will be the one shown in-game, you can add spaces, so it'll look organized;
  • You can also add hair styles to all costumes. (200 slots)


CONS

  • I don't think the CPU can use these costumes in Arcade, needs further testing since it's random.


Anyway, let's move on to the tutorial itself.

DOWNLOADING AND INSTALLING AUTOLINK

First download the tool here:
http://bbs.3dmgame.com/forum.php?mod=attachment&aid=Mzc5MTcyMXw4MDNhZDJlYnwxNDY2OTM1NTgyfDB8NTA2NTUzNA%3D%3D

Mirror: https://www.mediafire.com/?c6v1al01ax7n3ll

Next, extract the .rar file, and now, go to your DOA5 folder, if you have lnk_reshuffle installed, rename DInput8.dll to lnk_reshuffle.dll. If you already have a d3d9.dll (from sweetfx or reshade for example), rename it to d3d9ex.dll. Now copy paste the files and folder from Autolink to your DOA5 folder.

Autolink is now installed, now how to add costumes.

INSTALLING THE MODS

You'll have an Autolink folder inside your DOA5 folder now, go to it, and you'll see something like this

In this folder you'll create all the folders for the characters you want, like mine below

Now, inside of each character folder, you have different options. You can add all the .TMC and .TMCL files in there, and it'll work, but all the costumes details will be replaced with your mods. If you create a folder called "01", and put your mods inside, then that means only C1 details will use your mods, and other costumes will be default. I personally recommend you create a folder called "01 02" in all your characters, and put the .TMC and .TMCL files inside of it. What this does is, all your mods will show up in C1 and C2 only, and the rest will be untouched.

Lastly, the mods files. Inside the "01 02" folders you'll put your .TMC and .TMCL files. If your mods includes a separate hair and face files, they'll have to be named accordingly. Look at the pic below.

As you can see, the mod is called "Ryo Hazuki", as such, the hair files need to have the same name, along with .hair at the end, which will be Ryo Hazuki.hair.tmc/tmcl. The same applies to the face files, same mod name and ends up in .face.

HAIR AND FACE FILES

In short:
Hair files

  • MODNAME.HAIR.TMC
  • MODNAME.HAIR.TMCL

Face files

  • MODNAME.FACE.TMC
  • MODNAME.FACE.TMCL



As of v1.0, you can also add new hairstyles to all the costumes by putting an "@" before the file name. Example:

  • @HAIRNAME.HAIR.TMC
  • @HAIRNAME.HAIR.TMCL

And it'll show up in the hair selection, regardless of costume.


As of v1.10, you can also associate a face to a certain hairstyle. Example:

  • @NAME.HAIR.TMC
  • @NAME.HAIR.TMCL
  • @NAME.FACE.TMC
  • @NAME.FACE.TMCL

Then once you select that hair in-game, you'll see the face changed too.


NOTE: If the mod requires an empty face or hair (in DLC tool it would be face/hair = 0, for example Power Ranger mod or outfits with hair in the same file) then you need a blank hair and face models, you can download these here, and name them accordingly to your mod as explained above.

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B3RABDAoergwUThFOWR0Yk1sMkE

OR

You can create a blank file and name it HAIRNAME.HAIR.EMPTY
This will only work for empty hairs. For faces you still need to download it from the link above and rename it like any other face file.



.--H AND .--HL FILES

If the mod has .--h and .--hl files (details), then they follow the following format.

Detail files

  • MODNAME.001.--H
  • MODNAME.001.--HL
  • MODNAME.002.--H
  • MODNAME.002.--HL
  • MODNAME.003.--H
  • MODNAME.003.--HL
  • MODNAME.004.--H
  • MODNAME.004.--HL

And so on, up to 10.

MODNAME_001.--H also works.

.PHYD FILES

You can also install .PHYD files using the same format as the other files: MODNAME.PHYD


And here's the final result

The name shown in-game is the same as the files, and that's it. It's very easy to use, and you don't have to sacrifice costumes or slots, once you made the folders it's just drag and drop, and naming accordingly.

CAMERA CONTROLS

You can rotate the camera 90º (portrait) by pressing F4 during replays and win/lose screen. After pressing F4, you can further rotate the camera with F2 and F3.
You can control the character select screen camera using the following controls:

  • CTRL + Numpad 1 - Select Player 1 camera
  • CTRL + Numpad 2 - Select Player 2 camera
  • CTRL + Numpad 3 - Select Player 3 camera
  • CTRL + Numpad 4 - Select Player 4 camera
  • CTRL + Numpad 9 - Select all cameras
  • Shift + Left - Pan camera left
  • Shift + Right - Pan camera right
  • Shift + Up or Numpad 8 - Pan camera up
  • Shift + Down or Numpad 2 - Pan camera down
  • Numpad 4 - Rotate left
  • Numpad 6 - Rotate right
  • Numpad 9 - Rotate up
  • Numpad 3 - Rotate down
  • Numpad+ - Zoom in
  • Numpad- - Zoom out

You can also select the "scene" (stage) camera by pressing CTRL + Numpad 0, during a fight, replays included. The controls are the same as above.

OTHER CONTROLS

You can slow down the game by pressing F1.
You can hide the HUD by pressing F5.
You can change the "light" with the following controls:

  • F6 + the button to the left of "1" (it's different in many keyboards) - 100%
  • F6 + 1 - 105%
  • F6 + 2 - 110%
  • F6 + 3 - 115%
  • F6 + 4 - 120%
  • F6 + 5 - 125%
  • F6 + 6 - 80%
  • F6 + 7 - 85%
  • F6 + 8 - 90%
  • F6 + 9 - 95%
  • F6 + 0 - 100%

You can change the breast motion with the following controls:

  • F7 + the button to the left of "1" (it's different in many keyboards) - OFF
  • F7 + 1 - Natural
  • F7 + 2 - DOA
  • F7 + 3 - OMG
  • F7 + 4 - There's one last option, I'm not sure what to call it

You can change the "wetness" with the following controls:

  • F8 + the button to the left of "1" (it's different in many keyboards) - 0%
  • F8 + 1 - 25%
  • F8 + 2 - 50%
  • F8 + 3 - 75%
  • F8 + 4 - 100%
  • F8 + 5 - 200%


F8 + 6-9 changes the sweat/wet to have a red tint, which makes it look like blood.

With CTRL + 0, you can save detail selections in the character select menu and make them default, meaning when you launch the game, those details you saved will show up straight away. This is useful to make mods show up in Story Mode or Movies.
You can also save details using CTRL + 1 to 8 in the character select menu, these won't be used as default, and won't show in Story Mode or Movies. You can then press 1 to 8 to change between all your saves. Finally, you can press 9 to reset.

Example usage of CTRL commands: Go on character select, select character A, select the mod you want, if you want, you can go on another character, select the mod and so on. Change the outfits of everyone you want and then press CTRL + (number). CTRL + 0 will make it the default costume, anything else will save but not as default.

About the gamepad mapping option in DInput8.ini: (thanks to warior for the following)

Other notes:

  • The folders with numbers tell the game which costumes will use the mods. For example, a 01 folder will only use C1, 01 02 will use C1 and C2, 01 02 03 will use C1, C2 and C3, and so on. You can also have like 01 10 26 for example;
  • If you want the mods in details in ALL costumes, then you don't need a folder with numbers, you'll put the .TMC and .TMCL files inside the character folder, for example Marie/Modname.TMC and TMCL;
  • You can also have multiple numbered folders, like if you want X mod in folder 01 02 and Y mod in 03 04;
  • In order to use the modded costumes in Private Paradise movies, first select them on Versus or Arcade, no need to start the fight, then go back to the movies and select the character base costume; (ty dante_huyvu for this info)
  • You can add up to 200 new hairstyle slots with Autolink;
  • You can enable/disable everything if you open DInput8.ini with a text editor. There's settings to force a resolution, skip the intro movies, toggle camera controls, toggle beep sounds, etc.
