Bayonetta for PC Receives Wardrobe Malfunction Mod

Bayonetta has not been available on PC for very long but that has not stopped the modding community from doing their thing. Recently a modder by the name “masterofx” on the Undertow.club forums released a patch that changes the clothing of Bayonetta. Yes, there is a nude option for those that want it.

For those that miss this information on the forum post (due to downloading the files really fast, I assume before Sega pulls them), here are the instructions.

*How to Mod:
It seems that it's still a mystery for most how to actually mod this game.
This is the method i use:
Tools needed

A hex editor

Dragon Unpacker (optional but helpful)

DDS editing software

That's basically it.
After extracting the cpk file of your choice (data12.cpk for example) you will get some .dat files in most cases. Most of them contain game textures, model textures, model info...etc.
The .dat files that contain DDS images can be either searched for with a hex editor, just simply search for the text DDS, it's the only header in the .dat file that is an actual DDS (from what i found). The way i did it before, was just copy the entire contents from the DDS header till the end and saved it as a dds, that way you can see the image and if it's not the one you want to edit, search again for the next header and delete everything backwards... this method is more time consuming though. I found that with dragon unpacker's hyper ripper you can simply preview the images in DU and also easily extract them with drag and drop. As an added bonus it shows the offset of the dds file which is very important, to put the dds file back.

Now the tricky part. After editing your file, you need to have a copy of the original image or have a copy of the original .dat file as the header of the dds needs to be the exact same one as before, otherwise the game crashes... took me a long time to figure out that that's the reason for my crashes. The header is 1D in length in hex code, so after you pasted the hex code of the edited dds on top of the old one, paste also the header of the original on top of that and you're good to go.
When i say header, i'm referring to the starting bytes of the dds file, not the image contents themselves.
That's about it in a nutshell, if you guys make some cool mods, i can post them here if you want *
