It´s faster due to not having hook 5 or any hook. If you re-install TK17 VX from scratch and don´t install any hook version and it will also be very fast. I would never ever give up hook 5 graphics for that extra speed though, and I guess most people won´t either.

Exactly ! This statement goes to the heart of the problem. Because what if the game launches faster? If it already launches, then.... well.... eyes hurt from looking at it.(At least what I've seen). But maybe someone can provide nice screenshots of V11 ? In that case, I ask him very much, let him do it. At the moment, from my perspective, it looks like a 20-year-old piece of junk. Yes I know, 64 bit sounds proud. But without a system that provides really decent graphics, the V11 is standing still and maybe even going backwards. Because is there any point in investing, for example, in physics or other enhancements without modern graphics ?

Many people have modified the basics of this game over the years, but only one, Pervok, has had a significant impact on the graphics. I doubt if it will be possible to find another such person.

Hi.
I also have a MSI gaming laptop but 10 years old and with much worse specs than yours.
The game behaves in the same way as you showed in the video if I accidentally run it on the wrong GPU. If I run the game on my old NVidia GTX without HOOK, the game runs very smooth and fast, no less than 60 fps

Maybe try running the game in this very simple way and see if it will be ok. ( I am using Win10 but maybe in Win 11 it will be somehow similar).

Open the Binaries folder of your game, select TK17_Launcher, right-click to open the context menu, then go to "Run with graphics processor" then select the correct GPU and click. 
The game should now start and run properly.

Does anyone have these stand-alone roller skates? 

I'm aware they are available in Dimisd's add-ons pack, but I can't use that pack because it borks my game. If you can provide the addon for me, it'd be greatly appreciated.

Here you go, here are the roller skates +alternative texture.

I want to control the look of my "skies" or get the lighting from a HDRI/CubeMap, without relying on having to download a CubeMap from Euphie or other creators on here.

Is there a tutorial or a structured guide/steps on how to make this happen? Couldn't really find anything.

Search content published by user @state808 or contact him. He has published a short tutorial on creating cubemaps.

I think you misunderstood me. You don't need to edit the h5m file. In the case of the Hook5 object, all you have to do is edit the "specular" map.

How does the pass file look like for a H5 object if I want to do that path? The object i'm trying to make glow is the samsung TV h5 object. It does not have a pass.txt file.

The vast majority of H5 objects (but not all) consist of maps; "difusse" "normal" "specular" and the h5m file. They don't have a "pass" file , everything is stored in h5m. And you only need to edit the map "specular".

Ah no wonder the glow didn't work. Its just the H5 object doesn't work with it. Thanks. That clarification saves me a lot of headaches.

If you absolutely want an object to glow and it does not want to glow, you must do exactly the same as in the previous case. That is, put the blue color in the right place in its specular map. The object does not glow because its author simply did not do it.

Ok second question. Lol. How do you do the same thing to a H5 TV object you add in _hook5data? The object is not part of the original room.

It's much easier. But on one condition that the author of the H5 object introduced the possibility of setting the glow. I think that in the case of a TV set it is possible. Open the Hook5 menu, then scene manager and select the correct object. Then in its window set the parameter marked with an arrow according to your needs.

It just did it, it works great. Thanks I learn something new today.

Great. I'm glad I could help. Have a great time. If you will want to light up some objects e.g. bulbs, lamps then you already know how to do it. Just give a larger glow intensity value in the pass file.

I have several rooms that have television which I put a custom photo into it. The problem is it's very dark. Is there a way to make the image light up and glow like a real television?

If you are using Hook5 create a norm,spec and pass for the TV texture if you don't have it. Then paint the area of the TV screen with blue color and enter the corresponding line in the pass file: glow_intensity = 0.6 . The number at the end of this line will determine the brightness of the glow. See picture.

In my opinion, this problem has always existed. It is visible regardless of the mod used. The body in tk17 is simply not perfectly symmetrical. In addition to the eyes, this is most evident in the uneven length of the legs, for example.

Proszę proszę, a oboje wysilamy się do siebie z angielskim w komentarzach  A tymczasem wychodzi na to, że my nie gęsi

Jasne że nie ! I kocham nasz bogaty, pełen niuansów i przenośni język. Ale jeśli przyjdzie nam się jeszcze kiedyś spotkać na polu komentarzy to lepiej pozostańmy przy angielskim. Jak inni zobaczą że piszemy do siebie po polsku to gotowi będą pomyśleć ,że knujemy  spisek, używając jakiegoś szyfru. I to co najmniej na poziomie Enigmy . Jestem pewien że myślisz tak samo.

Witam

Jakie polecacie najlepsze mody do ściągnięcia?

Cześć. Witamy.

Nie wiem na jakim poziomie zaawansowania jesteś w tej grze ale twoje pytanie brzmi jakbyś dopiero zaczynał swoją "przygodę". Więc z tej perspektywy odpowiem.

Moim zdaniem warto jest zainstalować Hook5 Extended. Jest to oprogramowanie które bardzo podniesie poziom grafiki i walory wizualne gry. Najlepiej to zainstalować według tego poradnika:https://www.klubexile.com/tutorials/category/1-hook-help/#:~:text=(Not so) quick %26 (less) salty guide for installing TK17 with Hook5 Extended for newbies

Poza tym radziłbym zainstalować ten mod:https://www.klubexile.com/files/category/17-female-bodies/#:~:text=addon-,XBody Female,-By HDiddy

Daje on lepsze ciało kobiety niż ciało podstawowe. Zawiera w sobie jakby wiele modów w jednym. Pozwala nadać twoim modelom wiele różniących się od siebie kształtów i daje możliwość dopasowania niemal każdej części ciała do twoich upodobań . Daje też dodatkowe możliwości i funkcje w pose editor jeśli zamierzasz tworzyć własne pozy i animacje. Większość ubrań i póz jest tworzona obecnie właśnie przy użyciu tego moda.

Istnieje też jakby męski odpowiednik tego moda ale o znacznie skromniejszych możliwościach:https://www.klubexile.com/files/category/18-male-bodies-and-heads/#:~:text=Default Male Morphing Body

Na koniec polecam też to :

To jest mod który zawiera w sobie jakby wiele modów kształtu twarzy i głowy co pozwala tworzyć bardziej zróżnicowane modele.

Thank you ... for the life of me I can't figure out how to properly install/run paid Hook5 despite my best efforts to learn here.  I'll keep playing with setups/configurations and it will happen!

   Try doing it according to this guide. If you don't skip any step and do it in the right order then there should be no problem.

I am very interested in your case. Both of you. Could you send me the rooms that work this way ? Or at least a link to them ?

Is there a detailed tutorial on installing mods ? Because I'm sure that I do everything wrong because most of the mods aren't working properly or aren't working at all.

Could you say something more ? What mods are you referring to. Give one specific example. And based on this example we will be able to give you an explanation.

Hi guys, 
I remember using a Posemanager tool (0.5 or something) to sort, arrange and tag poses.. but now I cannot seeem to find it anywhere.. 

Am i just blind or where should I be looking? 

thanks

TKX Utilities for VX 1.0.0

Just type it in the search engine window and you will surely find it

Isn't the tongue section in PoseEdit enough for you ? With the help of the sliders and cluster manipulators present there, you can easily solve the problem of the tongue sticking out of the chin.

So, the new contests are up! One quick question about the Redlight District contest. It says that no Hook5 pictures are allowed there, is that accurate to the contest itself?

But Trapp, you must have misread something. It says the photo is supposed to show the models in action. Nothing about Hook5.

@Kanmar had some success making fur more furry using some displacement tricks. 

I have to write a correction here. I am not the author of this furry texture you are thinking of. But I agree that it would be perfect for a fur  for this wolf. If someone was willing and able to do it.

Found it. I was looking for something with "screenshot" in the name, but it's actually "iHiResScreenScale". Default is 4. It doesn't seem to use the full native resolution as a base though. At 720p, a value of 3 results in a 1752p screenshot. A value of 4 gives 2336p, and 5 gives 2920p, suggesting 584p as the base res instead of 720p.

6 is the highest value it accepts. Anything higher just caps to 6. To get higher screenshot resolution, I need to increase the resolution of the game. At 1080p, a value of 6 gives 10080x5664 screenshots, which look good enough when scaled back down to 1080p, without any aliasing.

Edit: Another way to increase screenshot res is to raise the internal resolution scale with fResolutionScale. Setting it to 2 at 720p with iHiResScreenScale set to 6 gives 13920x7824 screenshots.

I guess it's not possible to configure the resolution and it's fixed at 4480x2424?
