Doki-Doki Literature Club Plus! - Game Assets Extraction (Windows Only)

cimo95 · Jul 1, 2021

I will share a modified library file of DDLC+ for Windows (DDLC.dll),
because assetBundle DDLC+ can't be directly unpacked with third-party applications,
so I modify a bit in DDLC.dll so that you can directly unpack the assetBundle file which contains all the assets of the DDLC+ game.

Starting from my desire, to take CG pictures and the music, then i idly modify the DDLC.dll file.

TOOLS :
- my modified DDLC.dll (Download)
- Perfare's AssetStudioGUI (Download)

HOWTO :

Download modified DDLC.dll
Goto "Managed" folder on your DDLC+ installation directory (commonly in : "C:\program files\Steam\steamapps\common\Doki Doki Literature Club Plus\Doki Doki Literature Club Plus_Data\Managed\")
Rename existing DDLC.dll to DDLC.bak (or anything other than the .dll suffix)
Paste the modified DDLC.dll there
Run your DDLC+
Wait until Login screen shown
Login
If ...
1. ... you want to extract the whole game assets including dialogues in RenPy notation, language packs, etc... you must run each part of the game to trigger it out. For example, if you want to get resource for all Side Story part, you must run all the story part one by one (better use "skip" to speed it up).
2. ... no, you can simply quit (you may only get some of important assets bundle only)
Delete the DDLC.dll
Rename DDLC.bak to DDLC.dll

Note : You MAY NOT use this library for normal usage, that's why its important to restore your original DDLC.dll after finished.

The results are saved on "Doki Doki Literature Club Plus_Data\StreamingAssets\AssetBundle\"

Use AssetStudioGUI to show the result file contents !

Unfortuntely you can't, (at least can't do it easily)
AS i KNOW...
DDLC+ using different and most advanced game engines today, Unity, and it is not as simple as RenPy anymore.
Any changes of assets (sprites), need to change the certain variables and flags too, to keep the game playable normally.

For this time, you may just be able to modify the free version of DDLC which already spreads on the internet, like MonikaAfterStory, DDLCMods (Reddit), etc...

However, since you're Indonesian, if you can't afford DDLC+, or curious about it in Indonesian, you can wait the ported yet translated version of DDLC+ on https://ddlcmoe.cimosoft.com !
For further information about this release, please refer to Doki-Doki Literature Club Indonesia fanpage and Doki-Doki Literature Club Indonesia group

This is probably just me being missing something obvious but every time I try to open the extracted files it doesn't do anything except outputting the message "No file was loaded".

I haven't exactly looked into the modification of sprites and other in game assets but I did manage to make a modification for DDLC+ a little bit after the release date which modified the ren'py script to have custom dialogue and other things (You know, typical simple mod for a person who doesn't want to change character assets). I do believe it's possible, the team over at Wretched (Same creators of Exit Music, Exit Music Redux, etc) have found out a proper way to go about this and have released a few announcements about this in their discord server earlier this year. I modified DDLC+ with MelonLoader and used 0harmony to patch some deserialization/serialization methods, but WretchedTeam seemed to have done it differently.

When i looked at the code, i amazed with the stuff. They ports the whole RenPy engine, and leave the script in RenPy notation. I've successfully yet easily combines expressions and dialogues to a full renpy statements, and run it as DDLC mod patch

lazy cash grab. 5 years and "project libitina" is still crypitc vaporware.

Skip this shit and just go play Monika After Story instead. Its fully moddable and designed to be that way and its FREE.

Forget that coward Salvato. He abandoned the franchise and the industry after it got popular for no reason.

i can understand what you feel man, but this only for those who bought DDLC+ (or shamelessly download the pirated version)
most people with DDLC+ on them are also very familiar with DDLCMods community (including MAS project) which based on original DDLC

In StreamingAssets\AssetBundles there's no files but there's a folder with a lot of .cy files. I can't open any of them in assetstudio tho, it says that no file was loaded. It's definitely not an issue with assetstudio because I've been using it for a while.
The only stuff I can open are in Doki Doki Literature Club Plus\AssetBundles\Windows but it doesn't have what I want to extract (I want to extract a scene from a side story in full resolution).

you can't open .CY files since its still encrypted inside, but the .CY_UNL will do, if these file (.CY_UNL) not appear, you may need to start over again, do skip for the storyline, this will trigger the decryptor.

yes of course its not AssetStudio fault (even new user already knew it, no need tobe advanced to know that this is not AssetStudio fault)
