I've updated the folder again with all the miis I've made so far. Folder contains the screenshots of the details page, the facepaints, the textures and canvas files and the .ltds for import (BEWARE OF SAVEFILE CORRUPTION, SHAREMII IS NOT VERY RELIABLE FOR EXPORT!)
Row 1: Lev Lainur Flauros (FGO), Romani (FGO), Olga Animusphere (FGO), Marisbury Animusphere (FGO)
Row 2: Priestess (Arknights), Char Aznable (Gundam), Hoid (Cosmere) - I may fix him up later, Lalah Sune (Gundam)
Row 3: Challia (Gundam), Kamille (Gundam) heavily inspired by this one, Amuro (Gumdam) heavily inspired by this on
Row 1 (Right): Romana (Doctor Who / Gallifrey), Narvin (Doctor Who / Gallifrey), Braxiatel (Doctor Who / Gallifrey), Leela (Doctor Who / Gallifrey), Benny (Doctor Who / Bernice Summerfield)
I've found out how to inject facepaint into the tomodachi life game.
You need an emulator or a hacked switch.
These are the designs: https://mega.nz/folder/UxFV3ZhK#U3dEby4yiVkrRNGI-Ki5kQ
The method is described here: https://gamebanana.com/tools/22280. I've cleaned up the python script that the author wrote to include the actual zstd compression and decompression here. (needs python 3.14 because it's using the zstd compression and decompression from the python standard library).
You need ryubing canary 1.3.265 to avoid the emulator crashing on boot (and obviously the right prod keys) to run the title.
Right click the game and open the save folder
Inside the folder you will see the Ugc folder
You paste the UgcFacePaintxxx.canvas.zs into the script directory
And run the convert_canvas_to_png function on the canvas. At this point you will output a png that corresponds to your mii
Screenshot your game without the facepaint and put it underneath your facepaint to draw more easily
The canvas is limited to 256 x 256 px
You can use binary brushes to make it pixelated like in the game, I've shared some brushes with stabilisation and binary here https://mega.nz/folder/l81GSIoI#JbQwuXQDeld6C7YmLgkmNA
Then export your facepaint as png and run the conversion (this time from png to canvas)
You will have this which you need to paste back into the ugc folder under the same name, just be sure to rename the file or else ryujinx won't pick it up
Click on
And you will see your changes.
Now here's the trick, there's two folders named '0' and '1' in the emulator. '0' is supposed to be the active directory and '1' is supposed to be the backup save directory. Backup the whole save directory. For some reason, the emulator won't save to '0' properly after a texture change so save the game. Close the emulator. Delete the '0' folder. (the changes should now be in folder 1).
And reload the game again and the facepaint should stick permanently.
the fact that if I whenever I see him I am reminded of the gene wolfe novel titled 'the tree is my hat' because there's a dwarf in that novel who might also be a concept devourer with shark teeth as well as the title talking about a hat haha
tsundere
the fact that I can finally get him after 8 years...
even got the weirdest raphael dream while working on it (shades of grey crossover). not that shades of grey though, the one with the colours that can kill you. Raphael was trying to sell me something and the whole sky was in the most dramatic monochrome possible because of all the extremely stormy clouds that just kept moving. And inside, everything was monochrome except some of the most vibrant colours ever. Wtf
