With All-Star Battle R having released on multiple platforms, including Steam, modding a JoJo game is now more easy and accessible than ever! Whether you are new to modding, or have experience with modding this game already, this article will be a valuable resource and guide.
For this guide, the different areas of modding have been split up into 4 main types: Texture Modding, Model Modding, Sound Modding, and Param Modding; ordered by how common each type of mod is. It is also reccomended that you check out the Misc Resources, as they will prove useful.
Getting Started
Community
Firstly, it is highly recommended you join the ASBR-EoH Modding Community on Discord. The community dates back to the modding days of the original All-Star Battle, and has various tools, tutorials and resources for modding the CC2 games. It is still very active, and finding help from other members is very easy.
Next, get to know NexusMods, the place where mods should primarily be uploaded to. This is because it's the most popular platform for ASBR modding (by users), and its use of Vortex also makes installing and using mods a much simpler process.
Preparations
At the moment, this guide focuses on modding only the PC version of the game. Therefore, you will obviously need to have the game installed to your computer, whether it be via Steam or... other methods.
(insert Anti-Cheat stuff)
In the root folder of the game, typically titled something like JoJos.Bizarre.Adventure.All.Star.Battle.R.Build.XXXXXXXX and the place where the game's EXE is located, you will find a folder named data. This folder contains the game's main data files, which you will be accessing.
First, you should install CriPakTools. This tool is used to unpack the game's CPK files which include a lot of the juicy game data. Once installed, it is recommended you move it to the ASBR root folder for easier future access.
How to mod
In the same root folder, create a new folder titled data_win32. Any modded files put inside this folder will load over the game's original files, and therefore have the game run said modded files (more on this later).
