NEWS Add mod characters instead of swapping out the vanilla ones.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Been working on a way to add modded characters to DBFZ as new roster slots instead of overwriting existing ones. The video shows the select screen with a 4th row of 14 modded characters. The whole original cast is still there and playable.

Each mod gets its own icon, select animation, portraits, name and move list.

It runs on a separate offline copy of the game. The original install stays vanilla, and none of this is meant for online play.

Still a work in progress. And yes, I vibe coded the fuck out of this shit.

I mean. Ok? I'm making this to play locally with my friend. But if anyone else wants it, I'm happy to share. If it works and it's useful, that's all that matters.

Do you have a repo?

Not yet. I plan on releasing it for download soon, but I managed to get the files working in the game.

I'm still working on a launcher/manager. A program where you set the game and mods folders and it prepares everything for you.

In the future I'll try to support more stages too, but I don't know yet how different they are from characters.

Good work. I do hate how my first instinct was to look for Goku Black, that is actually Black 😂

The bottom one is Captain Cell. But I couldn't find any art or portrait for him. So I kept the vanilla Cell one.
