Witcher 3 modding tools released with NMM support

"champions of PC gaming above and beyond any other major game developers or publishers out there"

 

Really? They made their games with excessive use of cutscenes, just like most other modern 3D RPG games out there. You are only watching CGI 3D movies with limited gameplay in between.

 

Plus they deliberately crammed taxing graphic element in their game to make it look good. This action is just like Crysis 3 which use excessive polygons to burden gamers' rigs. This is a marketing trick done by some game designers in collaboration with graphic card manufacturers so as to lure gamers into buying expensive new cards to keep up with the taxing graphics. At the same time not a surprise the performance of older cards are lower after a couple new release of drivers. This is dubious practice. Not many gamers aware of this. 4k gaming is another marketing trick to trick you to constantly buy new cards as well. Graphic whores who are rich will fall into this easily.

 

Plus CDPR made Witcher 3 with $32 million development cost, but marketing cost is $35 million. Marketing cost > development cost. They are eager to sell the game to you more than they want to make good game. Not many gamers know about this news.

 

Some people or some sites might have received their $35 million just to help them to promote their game, with dubious review and excessive praise.

 

And because of the excessive use of cutscenes, their game is not sandbox and fully mod supported. Not a surprise really seeing that you can't mod even the clothes worn by Geralt or NPCs. Because the cutscenes are CGI. You can't mod CGI. Clothes that you mod won't reflect on the CGI.

 

Their games are not bad. Some fanboys just love to overrate their games.

BlindJudge wrote: you will need to uncook all the files in the game first, once you have the ModKit installed using a cmd prompt navigate to the folder:

For instance in my cmd prompt I entered -

cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Witcher 3 Mod Tools\bin\x64"

then when I was in the correct directory entered -

wcc_lite.exe uncook -indir="F:\Game Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\The Witcher 3\content" -outdir="G:\Witcher3\Uncooked" -imgfmt=tga

Just ensure that you are in the correct directory in the cmd prompt and that you have used quotation marks if there are spaces in your location.

This uncooked all the game files into my 'G' Drive under the folder Witcher3\Uncooked.

I hope this helps?

Man, I got it to run... but I get an error about no data or something. All file paths are correct. Should I be getting an "access denied" text after trying the command?

I am new to this but I really want to figure it out because I have a great desire to learn it. Is there any way anyone can help me out? :D Edited August 14, 2015 by gravityjumper

You will probably become a god in the nexus for that. I love and use Purity in Skyrim and have been dying to see something like that in TW3!

uhh the game has exactly two CGI cutscenes, one near the beginning and one near the end.

With the modkit clothing for everyone is fully moddable, and will work and show up in 99.9% of cutscenes.

"they've consistently shown themselves to be champions of PC gaming"

 

What ?? With their graphic downgrades, their horrid UI, their controller-based controls system ?? Not by a long shot

My hardware from around 2012 plays The Witcher 3 just fine on mostly ultra settings. There are a great many options to tailor the graphics to your computer's capabilities. I am yet to have any significant problems, unlike every Bethesda open-world game I've ever played. The Witcher 3 has never crashed once. NOT ONCE.

So far as I can tell, the cutscenes are rendered using the game engine and are not pre-rendered. I haven't looked at the files, but how can the official DLC provide alternate outfits if the outfits can't be changed? The DLCs are mods, right? Forget about the fact that every video game is CGI...

For that matter, what do cutscenes have to do with the sandbox? So far as I can tell, I can run about wherever I like. It's certainly not Morrowind, and I much prefer the Bethesda style of blank slate character building (i.e., I don't want to play as a predesignated protagonist), but I think it still qualifies as a sandbox game. A not-very-interactive-kinda-boring sandbox, but still. Not to say that I like the cutscenes...I hate them and find watching Geralt talk a boring waste of time.

In summation, CD Projekt Red is not making you do anything and their game works fine. They are diligently fixing bugs and adding feature requests. They have provided neat DLC (mods) for no extra cost. They sell the game without DRM. Now they are providing modding tools. What exactly are you complaining about? What other company is doing all this?

i personally think the game is severely over-rated, it does have pretty graphics i'll give it that, but everything else (Combat, Quests, Characters, Story, Movement and Controls) is mediocre at best.

when i double-click 'wcc_lite.exe' it opens Command Prompt for a few seconds then closes. i can't write anything in it.
