Today is a bad day. Once again for the X-th time a major update crushed our mods to the ground. If you're annoyed by it and tempted to complain to somebody please keep in mind this is even worse for mod creators. We can't predict it, nor any XXMI devs. And it feels aweful to discover this sight as you just woke up and remember all the love and efforts you poured into each of your creations. For newcomers now you can see why so many quit modding WuWa after releasing 3-4 mods. So everyone, let's squeeze our teeth once more and try to fight it like any past time.
So I immediately checked how bad this break is : thank god, aside from the 2 default M/F rovers that we were already expecting to change, they haven't touched the character base 3D models. Meaning at least I won't have to restart each piece of work from zero, so not a total apocalypse. Although they have changed each single texture addressing that ever existed in the game since its creation! Even shader ones (which allows my kind of high quality textures to exist and are tricky to reach). This means all my recent efforts to strengthen all my mods were turned into dust... It represents hundreds of hours chasing every single hash including the specials/hidden no auto-fixers could cover.
What now then? Well, a long repairing process will begin and go on for weeks, probably months focusing on the most popular/powerful/newest characters first, may be giving priority to Radiant Yangyang to have something new to chew on. I quickly checked if everything was doable by repairing a random element because I feared something way worse happened, but it was a success. You can imagine it will take some crazy time, hundreds of hours at least (was not exaggerated), terabytes of dumps, once again. I'll try to keep you updated for each character or radiant mod fully back on its feet.
Finally and exceptionally I will advise to run hash auto-fixers like Moonholder's as soon as they're available. They won't be as perfect as my updates but those guys usually work in groups, they're fast and should cover at least the functional cores of my mods, may be, probably.
That's it. (Well aside from the fact my internet line was also cut by workers outside 40 min after turning the game on this morning... Murphy's law in action) I'm quite depressed but I'll try to cope and fight like a good rabbit! See ya all around dear humans.
