[REL|WIP|AC7] Trigger to Boruto (The Tale of Boruto Uzumaki) Modular Mod Pack

Probably not the best time, but I'll do it.

I decided to centralize all Trigger to Boruto mods I released into this one blog post for your convenience. The rants or opinions about me and the world from the deleted posts are also here. So... go figure what I'm gonna do next. Could be a wild guess to you, I suppose.

Download links for Google Drive have been switched over except for some. I have an alt account that was described in a post I made on May 10, 2020 (TTB Skin Pack 1) and I stored my mods there as I literally gonna ran out of space for storing shit in my main account. Backups, mod uploads for alt download links, you name it.

Introducing the Trigger to Boruto (The Tale of Boruto Uzumaki) Modular Mod Pack, a personal skin mod by Naruto 607 (Agung Paramtapa) that combines the lore of Ace Combat 7 with Boruto: Naruto Next Generations anime series.

Releases Exclusive to this blog (original post on Aug 15 2020, reorganized)

The Tale of Boruto Uzumaki (short Ace Combat 7 fan fiction story inspired from this pack)

This post will be updated when there are new DLCs, model-swap mods in place, or an interest that are related to Trigger to Boruto, or when there is alternate download source available.

The last official DLC (coming soon™) will implement Boruto's adversary in his family, Kawaki, so at this point, he make a comeback in my fanfic, either as a WSO, or as a supposedly rival pilot bearing the same TAC name, "Trigger", so that whenever Rage and Scream try to bag Trigger, Kawaki was the one who take the bait, but... who knows.

There are some mods that are not displayed here or only exclusive to the Nexus Mods due to avoid multiplayer abusing in public matches. This includes weapon swap changes and fancy stuffs that will only apply to specific skins or mods. Alternate download, as well as to download stuffs that aren't available here, is below:

Be note that I do not take responsibility to anyone using my SPW Swap or Copilot to Copro Model Swap (which has SPW swap bundled in too) mods for malicious attempts like ruining people's fun in public multiplayer matches. The usage of these mods are at your own risk. You have been warned. 

Skin Pack 1 updated (May 10 2020)

 Covid-19 made me stuck at home. Yet everything will be done via online services now.

This is my first set package of Trigger to Boruto Skin Pack, which this set replaces skins 4, 5, and 6 of planes listed below:

  1. F-15C
  2. F-15E
  3. F-15J
  4. F/A-18F
  5. MiG-21bis
  6. Mirage 2000-5
  7. Su-34
  8. X-02S

I decided to release this later since my freakin' lazy time over gaming and all that sh*t. However, considering I need to wrap up the project so I can hand this to someone capable (I chose Darwin VS, however, if he still ever making ped mods in GTA V), I have to do this and upload some of the videos on YouTube. Also, the delay time is that I have played Fallout 4 for almost a month to replay and completing quests, as well as getting achievements for "branching out" in paths, while having weapon mods installed (yeah, this is crazy; weapons are my freakin' essentials - I don't blame Skyrim, tho). And... Nexus Mods seem to having long loading page a few days back; not sure why, though.

I rechecked Nexus Mods again and everything seem to be back to normal.

GD | Nexus

Please note that Nexus (NexusMods) is only for registered users. If you came from there, click on the GD (Google Drive) link for download.

The version of GD is different than in Nexus due to the base I'm using for skin mods, except for the F-15C Standard Strider, of which I used Photoshop trick to "donate" part of the wing color skin from F-15J skin 3 to F-15C skin 6 and then recolored red. Don't confuse it with "Ace Combat 7 - Three Strikes" mod made by UltraBooster, as this is an entirely different design and any similarities is coincidental and not associated with stealing.

I'm a kind of shy person to ask permission to someone who made a base skin for X-02S and F/A-18F, so if you (author who made the base skin mod) disagree with what I have done, you can e-mail me with your concerns, and I will delete it at your request. No arguments unless necessary.

Droptank Update (included)

Dantofu has released a mod that makes the F-15C/F-15J has 610-gallons fuel tank, in what it seems to be seen in Mission 7 cutscene. For that, a new update for my mod has been released in order to make his mod and my mod compatible.

There are detailed instructions on how to make both compatible, but be warned; not all skins that made based from F-15C/F-15J template will be compatible, so you will see texture errors. However, I grabbed MREC and normal map from his mod (he said in the Readme that it's okay to reuse them, I guess?), so it should compatible across all F-15 skins (both C and J versions).

The only issue with the mod is the droptank texture if you select the one with single droptank for PLSL SP weapon (F15C-SWP3-PLSL-1DpTank-v1.pak). It seemed that the droptank texture is dependent on the skin 1 (Osea skin) - I'll have a discussion with Dantofu soon.

This latest version now incorporates his droptank texture mod (I usually called it as PTB; seemed like a Russian abbreviation for the droptank in their own language, got that since I start to mod LockOn: Flaming Cliffs 2 back in the day)

Future Plans

Since skin mods are generally large if released in one pack, I decided to create a secondary account with new access on Google Drive with zero space for me to use, as well as place for finding sh*tty videos on YouTube. Also, having a secondary account means, if I lost the right to upload new videos on YouTube, secondary account should give me a standing point for more careful uploads.

ADF Series DLC Skin Pack updated (Feb 18 2020)

Lot of things have changed since that incident, and now I'm setting out for a change. Next year will be my last year at Itenas, like it or not. So, no time needs to be wasted. If I can do this Final Project in less than a year, it will be most likely that I can get out of this crazy mess I've been made because of my laziness. For now, just go with the flow and ask any teachers if anything is less to me.

I've uploaded 3 new videos showcasing my latest skin mod for Ace Combat 7 while waited for the right time to upload the first skin pack. Here goes my own made "Trigger to Boruto Skin Pack for DLC planes" mod for Ace Combat 7.

The skin pack allows you to add a variety to 3 DLC planes released by Bandai Namco. It includes custom MREC per skin that came from the default skins where I made this, so it will compatible across any mod for those DLC planes that will replace Osea, Erusea, and Special skins. I've done this because there are mods that can be used to replace any skin slots, so I made 4, 5, and 6 (Mage, Spare, and Strider) to have its own MREC (all in all thanks to the handy tutorial/guide by superostrich).

I'm in for a big game to convert every aircraft skins to Boruto. Make it like "Shinobi Striker meets the aerial combat".

Original Aircraft Series DLC Skin Pack (draft on Nov 11 2020)

October 28. PA has finally released the Original Aircraft Series pack that consists of CFA-44, XFA-27, and ASF-X. At its release I bought the bundle for a cheap price, as well as getting a mic and webcam. Now you guess it; while I'm not ready yet for Twitch streaming, at least I have something for use with Zoom Meeting or whatever.

At day 1 of purchase, I made them pimped up to my Trigger to Boruto style, so you know what's gonna be next. Currently, I only done CFA-44 and XFA-27. ASF-X is not yet implemented, as it is like YF-23. Might gonna drop it or whatever, but who knows? Besides, I started to move on to UNS4 as topic and modding discussion. Found out that you can add selectable UJs on characters, and I'd like to try it on Boruto.

Well, many have been jerking about this, but I don't. I'm happy to see the CFA-44 from AC6 and AC:AH made its way to 7, with dual-shooting railguns even, something that I don't see in AH. In AC6, CFA-44's railgun can be spammed until the ammo runs out. In 7, this has been substituted with railguns that can be shot twice (because it has two guns on the plane).

Boruto Speaker Portrait updated w/ color indication (Aug 11 2020, updated Jan 30 2022)

It's literally a sh*tpost pack but more sane, adjacent to Trigger to Boruto Skin Pack I made. Instead of having Ruskies meme or just a monotone LRSSG+Sol Sh*tpost pack, why not making this one to be compatible?

I made this after CloakedEnigma on Nexus shared a tutorial from his mod page (now available in superostrich's AC7 Modding Page). Thanks to him, this mod is possible.


I'm quite proud with the results, with less to none bugs. And Boruto "Trigger" Uzumaki portrait is used for The Erusean Campaign mod made by BlackBaron1945. I just need to figure out what character that suited for this "upside-down" faction mod where you play as Erusean.

Apparently, for Rage and Scream portraits, well... I have no idea what character should I put in there, so I put random sh*t in there, 2 pilots without faces (as in, pilot helmet and mask put on).

Preview of how does it look in game (updated)

This mod should be used in conjunction with my Trigger to Boruto skin packs, although... it looks fine without it, but... it's just doesn't look... really settling, for what it's worth. I even made a whole fan-fic story about it, combining Ace Combat with Boruto series.

HD Remastered Version

 The HD Remastered version is now available; now featuring the Torres' crisp clear image sized in 1080p (4x native resolution, originally was 270p or 214 x 270) and experimental Boruto Speaker Portrait Expanded that adds portraits to AWACS. Credits go to Megalith and Blazededge -RZ- for images, helpful tutorials, and technical help.

Only use this if your PC can handle HD images on your game (of which this can affect the performance because the image is sized 4 times than its native resolution based on Calamitous' guide).

 Skin Pack for F-22A, F-2A, and F-35C (Aug 15 2020)

One day I feel bored of having 6 of my homemade skins made, especially after the release of Count to Mitsuki and Tabloid to Inojin Skins mod (it's here in one page anyway), so I made this. It's not generally a second skin pack (Skin Pack 2) since it only replaces 3 planes as the title said. So, yeah, that's pretty much like it.

3 planes, as described to this post:

  1. F-22A Raptor
  2. F-2A "Viper Zero"
  3. F-35C Lightning II

GD | Nexus

Please note: F-2A pinup skin 5 is what I put my heavy effort on. I managed to Google out how to make dirty textures, but I can't find one. So I decided to model on my own for several days with Photoshop, on default Osea livery. The copy of it was lost, sadly (accidental deleting these days... hehe), after it was made.

If you found it similar to the design from Ace Combat 7: Three Strikes Conversion Set 1 mod, it's a coincidence and not associated with stealing.

 Experimental Aircraft Series DLC Skin Pack (Oct 31 2021)

This pack seems to bring the good-ole classic days of me playing Ace Combat. F-16XL from AC5 and ACZ, F-15 S/MTD from AC5, ACZ, and AC:AH, and the FB-22 "Strike Raptor" Concept exclusively from AC5. By experimental here I mean "they weren't supposed to be used in the war", but who cares? Boruto will still fly in it, backed up by "NARUTO" AI System from Android 100's (if you read either The Rescue in Christmas, Android 100 one-shot, The Story of Android 100, or The Story of Android 100: Future Town) until the time has come for General Resources Ltd. acquire him and "NARUTO" AI System.

I'd like to ask whether Dan (Dantofu) can replace the second seat of F-15 S/MTD and F-16XL to Copro as opposed to Mihaly's Su-30SM and this mod by himself. I'd be delighted if I can have that to be used with this skin pack type (Trigger is a single-pilot, anyway, WSO can be someone else, but not him).

LRSSG AI (NPC) Skin Pack (AIO) (Oct 31 2021)

This pack incorporates 6 skins for AI (NPC) LRSSG jets in a flight. You'll need it if you want to use my skin pack, because... well... I put some effort on this one, like borrowing from F-15J because it has the same template, recoloring quirks to make it unique...



 I made them in a format that is close to real-life counterparts while keeping it lore-friendly as in True Canon Pack. Anyways, up until now, I heard no news for further completion of that modpack, despite I can tell that it's an ambitious skin pack for AC7.

It's all-in-one (AIO), 7 AI-controlled (NPC) planes from LRSSG received my custom edits, excluding Count's F-15C, which is exclusive only in Count to Mitsuki and Tabloid to Inojin.

Cutting-Edge Aircraft Series DLC Skin Pack (Dec 3 2021, updated Jan 30 2022)

After my debut in Blazededge RZ's channel, I finally found my groove of being a Naruto/Boruto-styled Ace Combat player. Together with that, few days after, PA released this Cutting-Edge Aircraft Series DLC that, according to the sources, the Super Hornet Block III and the F-2A "Super Kai"  are just... original Hornet F and F-2A with "conformal fuel tanks" (CFT) being slapped on it, in addition to the new skin set. While the MiG-35D is something else entirely. It looks like a MiG-29 with lengthened nose (more like MiG-29UB but with longer beaker/nose) and added targeting pods below the air intake. The plane looks just exactly like from the photos I got from 2013 or so that displays MiG-35 in the air, and by coincidence, it's a two-seater plane too. It's only a matter of time until the last DLC comes out.

Anyway, this pack not just include the main packs like F/A-18F Block III, F-2A -Super Kai-, and the MiG-35D, but also additional packs that doesn't require this particular DLC, such as original F/A-18F (an MLU version based from the Skin Pack 1), Gripen E, MiG-29A, and Su-57. I consider this as a "bonus" for my future implementation of other planes to be adapted with my Trigger to Boruto style.

kosnag's Su-75 Checkmate Model-swap Skin Pack (Dec 3 2021, updated Dec 10 2021)

Also, in time after the CEAS DLC, this excellent model swap by kosnag is out and by impression, this aircraft model looks great. All parts of this model swap are animated (movable), and it uses the cockpit taken from the Su-57. I call this aircraft model "a pocket Su-57" and "a Russian F-16" because, believe me, this plane is, by design, small and single-engined; almost like F-16, but also has the design similar to the Su-57. And, IMO, the first version of this mod is the best on my first glance, unlike the J-20, that is, which for some reason, the early (first) version is sounded like an incomplete project that needs updating, and I wonder if the author will even do it (no offense, because every people have their own personal time, including me).

If I compare this model with the models in game, I call this as "a human-piloted version of MQ-99".

Because I consider that as a complete model, I decided to do a Trigger to Boruto makeup on this newly, finished, and released model out in the Nexus Mods and Mod DB.

Version 1.1 now includes instance edits from Dantofu's that includes MREC and Bump/Normal Map since the latest update (version 4.0) changed the way the instance directories are pointed to. This is purely by design from the author to avoid replacing the original Su-47 (with the exception being the main model and their instances).

Emblem Swap/Replacement (17 Mar 2022)

This mod is the result of my research on the paks Megalith shared to me in Blaze's Discord server. Apparently there are a lot of files that can open an opportunity for the modders to expand the modding further, and one of them is about emblem swap. Using the provided tools inherited from the advanced modding guides, I learned how texture saving works and the initial image size/resolution in order to study how it works.

An inspiration from Dan's (Dantofu's) Invisible Customizable Emblems mod; this research led me to a tutorial documentation upon request by Megalith who's now a friend of mine and a counselor of all sorts of Ace Combat advanced modding techniques. It also led me to this mod creation which you can enjoy it now.


This mod will replace Trigger, Count, Spare, Strider, and Cyclops emblems with also changing how it's placed on the favorite plane of your choosing.

If you are interested with how I do, the tutorial is prepared here.

Addendum

Some of the skin mods I created are using these new personalized (customized) emblems you can view in my Pinterest page:

124th TFS "Strider" "Boruto Uzumaki - the Three Strikes"


444th Fighter Squadron "Spare" "Boruto Uzumaki - the Harling's Murderer"
