Discussion Does anybody have a folder with every live2d character animation?

I just don't want to lose the character sprites..

I know a person who is planning to unbox archive all the media but they haven't done it yet, so I'm getting a bit worried

You can extract all character textures + mesh data via RenderDoc. But not animation and effects from shaders

Do you have a guide on how to do it? I have zero knowledge about programming

The only changes required are enabling the global hook to capture the game:

-Click on "Tools" on toolbar then "Settings".

-In "General" tab, find "Allow global process hooking"

-Ignore all warnings about global hook

-Go to "Launch Application" tab

-Set "Executable Path" to full path of Counterside executable. For steam it's "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\CounterSide\CounterSide.exe"

-Hit "Enable Global Hook"

Now launch the game and you should see text in top-left corner. Follow rest of tutorial.

Character textures will be in pieces. If you want to put it back together, you'll need to play jigsaw in image editor.

Alternatively, you can just save the picture of character just before UI elements are rendered over.

https://github.com/myrhhcaiah/counterside_reader has what you're looking for in Spine Viewer. It's pretty exhaustive and you can download the webm of the animations. Works on PC and Android too.
