How do I install X2M files manually? Sept 6, 2019 21:36:26 GMT

So I wanted to install some mods on Xenoverse 2. But I don't want any program to install it for me. I just wanted to install them manually because I really liked the method of Xenoverse 1 to install mods. But I know that maybe the Xenoverse 1 method doesn't work on the Xenoverse 2 folder. Or at least thats what I think. And I don't really want to install the XV2 Patcher and XV2INS. I do prefer the manual method because im more used to it.

So I just extracted all files from X2M mod. If you're asking how I did it by installing 7zip and then opening the X2M with 7zip.

Yes, I have a data folder from Xenoverse 2 because I wanted to make the same method from Xenoverse 1 to install mods. But I realised that maybe im doing a mistake because this is Xenoverse 2 and not Xenoverse 1.

And then in 2019. I realized that you can open with 7zip the X2M file.

Now I have all these files in my 7zip and I don't know what to do:

I got a 1GK folder. Then when I open it I got a bunch of files that says 1GK and whatever number is there. And the file is .amk, then the other one is a .bai, and a bunch of more files like that.

Then I got a Skill_Atachment folder. Inside there is X2M files. But when I open those X2M files on the 7zip. I got a folder that is named "Jungle" and another that is named "Skill".

Then I got a UI folder. and there is only one file with the name "Sel.DDS".

Is there a way to install them manually or should I just do the Xenoverse 1 method that I was doing?

Also the red letters means problems that I encounter or maybe explanations. The Yellow letters are the asking and answer thing and also is the files that I encounter. Purple letter is the explanation of the data folder and why do I have it. The rose letters is the what happened next in 2019 when I talk on the purple letters.

You can't. There are rare exceptions that you must install into the data folder, but the Mod Installer is what makes the mods work in the first place.

The data folder does not work without the patcher, same thing with XV1...
The manual method would be unpacking and repacking the cpks every single time you want to install a mod. And even then you'll be limited to mods that replace existing assets, as was the case with XV1.

XV2Ins is pretty much needed to install anything other than replacer mods, as anything that adds stuff to the game needs values overwritten that only exists within the exe.
While it would, in theory, be possible to install a X2M mod without XV2Ins (but not without the patcher), you'd need extensive knowledge of how both the patcher and the installer work to do it.
