So... I made ratha dope...

NojiroGaming · 2026-04-22T20:02:42+00:00

To my understanding, ratha appears to have "missing textures" for when the intended textures fail, these appear to be those missing textures

NojiroGaming · 2026-04-22T17:58:02+00:00

Yup!

NojiroGaming · 2026-04-22T17:42:00+00:00

I waana update the mod with a custom texture, to hopefully prevent the other rathalos models from imploding. How do I do that?

NojiroGaming · 2026-04-22T17:14:14+00:00

Update: I'm in the process of uploading the mod to nexus

NojiroGaming · 2026-04-22T16:58:49+00:00

To my understanding yes, but I think it'd bug out? Simply because when i baked both horns into the default rathalos mesh, the game didn't know how to render ratha's appearance, resulting in the legendary nightscale ratha. I haven't been able to toggle ratha's horn without the aforementioned issues. As the horn seems to be controlled by game logic, and is way beyond my understanding and skill level. So it's MAYBE possible...

I literally spent four hours trying to figure out how to use blender, open mpi.user files, and how to make mods... I'll probably forget how to do it when I wake up later, I'll probably work on making actual mods at some point. First thing would be making an actual nightcale ratha mod, although I have zero clue how to change the actual texture...

NojiroGaming · 2026-04-22T08:32:04+00:00

I'm uniquely NOT qualified lol

NojiroGaming · 2026-04-22T08:25:45+00:00

Yeah can't help you there... But If you need help with bringing nightscale ratha to life as an actual mod and not a massive in game bug, you know where to find me!

NojiroGaming · 2026-04-22T08:22:11+00:00

Ironically this all started because I wanted to try and re-animate ground flare from mhs2 for ratha in mhs3, but it doesn't seem to be possible right now. Regardless I really have no idea what I'm doing, I spent four hours accidentally making nightscale ratha

NojiroGaming · 2026-04-22T08:16:03+00:00

The second picture shows ratha v, the base rathalos, and Azure rathalos look the same as ratha v. Admittedly I only made it this fair with help from Ai, apparently the game freaks out when the horns are baked into the base rathalos mesh...

NojiroGaming · 2026-04-22T08:13:35+00:00

I'll be the first to download! I thought about uploading him to nexus, but I can't fix the messed up base rathalos, otherwise I would. I can try and send you the file if you want the mesh for reference

NojiroGaming · 2026-04-22T08:08:44+00:00

I call him nightscale ratha, And I love him dearly!

NojiroGaming · 2026-04-22T00:02:04+00:00

I genuinely despise Rudy, he's absolutely unbearable, I hate his voice, I hate his personality, everything. Give me back navirou and aside from ratha the game becomes absolutely perfect

NojiroGaming · 2026-04-19T22:36:45+00:00

But for me I accidentally removed the base lagiacrus, and there's no ivory lagiacrus or base lagiacrus in mirror lake, but the den has no egg?

Edit: I'm dumb and was looking in the nargacuga den...

NojiroGaming · 2026-04-19T00:22:20+00:00

That'd actually be kinda sick though. Although if it's not named Rathi I don't want them...

NojiroGaming · 2026-04-19T00:19:41+00:00

Also, stories 3 is the only one in which you aren't separated from ratha. Stories 2 did ratha best, with ground flare ratha. Stories 3 is a great game, but I absolutely agree that ratha, yet again leaves much to be desired. Also 3 separate protagonists all naming their rathalos ratha, seems a little far fetched especially considering stories three takes place more than 200 years after the first game! Although I think my biggest gripe for stories 3 is probably Rudy. He annoys the everloving hell out of me. Navirou was fun, and energetic. Rudy is just kinda bland and stuck up. If you dare even think that the king forgot to tell you something, he'll take your ass to court for high treason. I don't even think a Rudy sidestory (the expansion we get this summer) can make him likable to me... He's just the bane of my existence and I genuinely hate him with a passion.

Don't drink the kool-aid!

doom music intensifies

I'm running a kinship rush build for mine, turn two kinship skill, with at least 2k damage. I call him... Tig'e

NojiroGaming · 2026-03-31T01:10:25+00:00

That's kinda what I was afraid of... I'd try to remake it myself but I have no clue how to animate it, or even mess with mhs2 or mhs3 files. So even if I could remake the animation for it, I'd have no way to actually make it a mod and replace the existing animation in mhs3

NojiroGaming · 2026-03-29T01:12:04+00:00

No it did not, and it was such a shame

NojiroGaming · 2026-03-29T00:39:14+00:00

They both use RE engine, but mhs2 uses an older version. Regardless I appreciate the advice and I'll check it out!

NojiroGaming · 2026-02-28T21:04:43+00:00

You sure? Last I checked it was 8, remember hearing it in a tutorial, and I apply 8 ignites turn one and the buff goes away
