I got the last MMD. Ill try to do the textures from png to bmp
But 1 question..
On the eye textures are more than one file
Like this:
0=Normal eye
<= >< Eyes
etc..
And the same with the mouths
Open mouth
Closed
Smiling
and stuff
I dont get that..

Yeah, lots of games use different textures instead of actual physical expressions. It saves on modeling and animating time to just have the different frames change, instead of having to animate and rig whole faces, etc.
When putting those into MMD, some people edit the basic open eyes/open mouth so it works like regular models, but that's a pain in the ass and you loose the original characters look unless you do it *perfectly*.
I personally make a new layer for each eye/mouth and then set the expressions to just move that layer forward.
Easiest. Rigging. EVER.
It ends up looking like this sorta:
o_o --------- o_- -_o -_- x_x
^front layer ^layers hidden inside head
When they blink you just pop that layer forward (and maybe the main back):
-_- --------- o_o o_- -_o -_- x_x
WAAAY less time consuming than physically morphing the face into the expressions you want. I'm actually making most of my scratch models like that right now because it's faster and I'm laaaazyyy.

HELP !!!!!!
i have the english PMD and it wont load anything
it keeps telling me:
"Direct3DX9 was not found. please install the latest Directx end-user redistributable package from Microsoft"
i don't want my Romano to stay colourless forever DX

thanks that really helped now Roma has colour
but saddly now another problem has come up
for some reason my Italy model is "stealing" the colours and textures from my Romano
๐: 0 โฉ: 2
Then they're probably in the same folder, with same-named files as their textures. Move them to their own folders with their own textures, and it should be fine!
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
er, maybe they're named the same then?
Try changing them (the same way) to like Ita1.tga and Rom1.tga, etc...

i did this and it only brought back some color plz help.

Double check all of your names.
Make sure none of them are too long...
Make sure you have them all matching on the model and on the textures. Like so: [link]
If *some* of them are working, then you know the model and your computer are fine, we just need to find the tiny mishap.
So much as a single missed letter or a , instead of a . will blank that layer's texture.
Once you've thoroughly rechecked all that, if it still isn't working, let me know.

uhm.. Textures are here and they are named correctly.. Why they don't appear? Q_Q

You probably need to update your MMD.
What version are you on?

I had this problem on PMD. But now problem is solved. The textures were not in model folder but in the other folder (model didn't had any folder) XD

This was SUPER helpful to help me fix my France model 8D Thank you so much for the wonderful tutorial ^^

WHY is everyone specifically having problems with France?! I made this technaically for ANY textured model! ROTFL XD
You're welcome! I knew peeps would like it, simple as it is, it's sooo helpful and panic-alleiving~
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Like, I know right? XD Well, I'm thinking everyone is having problems with the same thing. When I just to open France in MMD, his eyes were missing, it was weird XD
Indeed it is *nods*
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
See? And stuff like that...
WHY would just the eyes be missing on a fully textured model?
This is SO random how they keep dying on people! XD
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Like, I know right? XD It's really odd...
๐: 0 โฉ: 0
Oh jeez this is painful...I downloaded Germany Prussia and Austria and I checked their textures: They are all in English already e__e
I found some that were originally Japanese and renamed them just in case, but POOR DOITSU IS STILL GHOSTY!!! DDD:
I checked in the PMD AND the MMD. Plus, my MMD is updated anyway. I-I don't get it DDD:
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
How bizarre...
You *did* remember to rename the boxes in PMDe as well, right?
If the other two are working... I can't think of any other problems but that.

sorry if this is a stupid question (which it probably is) but what's PMD Editor and how do I get it?
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
There are NO stupid questions, just ignorance... Which isn't a crime as far as I know~ lol
PMD Editor is a program that does exactly what it says... It let's you edit (and to some extent create) PMD files (and now PMX as well), which are the ones used by MMD for models.
You can get it free from many sites viz Google or even here on DA, BUT since I love helping yaaay I'll get you the most up to date links...
Limited English PMDe: [link] (limited b/c it isn't the latest and is only partly translated)
Most recent PMDe: [link] (allows editing/creating of PMX files)

Thanks, I only got MMD a month ago so I don't know much about stuff like this XD

NoooOOoo problem~
We're all newbies to begin with at SOME point~
๐: 0 โฉ: 0
I've renamed all the files as " 1 2, etc" and the same in the editor yet france stays white D;< I seriously can't fix it no matter what I do >_<
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Ok ok, I'm gonna try and help you buddy~
FIRSTLY - Have I helped you before already? I don't wanna repeat what you already know and I do that sometimes when helping like 3 peeps at a time...
SECONDLY - Tell me exactly what you did... Just changing the names so far?
...AH, and one more important thing: Is he white only in MMD, or in PMDe too?
If so, then you probably just need to update your MMD. The older versions don't support textures fully.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
I recently updated to the newest MMD but hes still white (the painnnnnn XD) You haven't helped me before :3, Hes also white in the Editor, I've changed all the file names to 1,2,3, etc also the same in the editor, but he still stays white, I can manually change the colours but some of the textures are missing? like his pants and eyes etc X__X I hope this makes sense......
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Yeah yeah, I got what you were saying...
Hrm, yeah it's just a textures thing then. TOTALLY fixable! ^_^
Again, I'm assuming that you can load other textured models fine, so it's not like a graphics card thing... cuz THAT I couldn't fix
Okaaay... aaah... Do the textures still have the right extensions in the name? .png/.tga etc? Make sure those are still on the files themselves (they're fine if you can't see but they still say image type underneath and not just 'file') AND in PMDe where you fixed the names. That's really easy to delete, or accidentally type over the . or leave off a g or something.
Since you can load him at all and the layers can recolored, he's not BROKEN or anything... We'll get 'im fixed up eventually! XP

I've tried the file thing, Its not that X__X

...Damn o__o
Is it alright if you send the troublemaker to me so I can have a look?
I... I'm running out of ideas as to why it isn't working! T__T
If it's easier for you, you can just send the model without textures or anything from his folder. I can test it with some of mine to see if they'll work AT ALL. ;__;
[if you do, note it to me, don't post the links here]

;~; I can't figure out how to use PMD editor...and the one I had gave my computer a virus and wouldn't close...So I have an all white Gakuen Germany and France and a regular France without a face o_o

SAAAD T___T
If you DL the 'limited English' one, it's 100% clean.
Just don't ever DL that stuff off of shady looking sites... -3-
...Or you could always just try renaming the textures to their original Japanese and then loading them in MMD to check...? That might take a little longer, but I can give you the un-corrupted names (just be sure you can see Japanese):
Regular France, IDK... Mine was all screwy T__T
G.France:
ๅญฆใใฟไปๆv050.tga (hands)
ๅญฆใใฟไป็ณv050.tga (eyes)

So i had this problem with FemGermay by Roco, but i tried this and it still no work ;-;

LAAAAME. T___T
Try re-downloading and unzipping it then...
Sometimes it just glitches randomly for some reason.
...Did the model open and work normally, aside from the textures?
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Yeah, even the skin worked, it was just clothes and eyes >3<
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
How bizarre...
Well like I said, I'd just recommend reDLing it.
If the textures look fine in the folder, maybe try their Japanese names...?
What I mean is (since you probably already renamed them and lost those) after you re-DL, instead of just changing both sets of names, copy-paste the Japanese names from the model into the texture files' names. It'll still be trial and error getting them in the right places though, and they might not update in PMDe immediately, so save it each time and check it in MMD or just reopen there (that might just be my lazy computer tho).

Maybe ask someone to fix your models for you then?
I guess...

Try another texture on them... Or go back and see if you just missed their layer.

it didnt help at all it didnt do anything D; i guess austria germany and france will never be used *cries in corner*

Okaaay, calm down and tell or show me what's wrong exactly.
White models? Can you take a screen shot of one in PMDe so I can see the texture names, etc...?
I WANT THESE AWESOME THINGS USABLE FOR EVERYONE
