HOW TO MAKE A KI BLADE APPEAR ON A CHARACTER: GUIDE for patch 1.08
By Dexio, RazeDevastator, The Black X.

If you DON'T HAVE any character x2m installed and any custom moveset that requires special visual effects/weapons for cac or x2m chars(just ask if you are not sure), take the file "vfx_spec.ers" in this folder, and move it to Data-> vfx. If is asked to replace a file (SAY NO): you have the above said mods and you need to follow the guide. If nothing is asked that's all (But you still need to be sure this is the 1st char.x2m that you install, or you can just uninstall all the chars you have and reinstall them after this, if this is your case).

If the previous is not your case, follow the guide.

GUIDE

-STEP 0 
Install the Character.x2m. The ki blade files are included in the x2m.

-STEP 1- (how to know the char id)
Open the CMSEditor.exe, select "File" and then "Open". Go to the Dragon ball xenoverse folder (mine is in C:\Program Files (x86)\Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2\ just right click on xv2 icon and select "open file location" or something like that) then in "data", "system" and select "char_model_spec.cms".

If you don't have the said file (be absolutely sure of that!) it means either that you have not installed a char mod (and you need restart the guide from STEP 0) or that you messed up the files, if is that the case, probably other mods in your game shouldn't work. Reinstall xv2ins.

-STEP 2-
Scroll down to the end. Look For ALX (the character code of Lilith). You will see a number at the left of - ALX. That's the character id. Keep a note of that number, or just let the CMS editor open here.

[See Image 1]

In my case it's 151, since it's my first char.x2m installed (in the list).

-STEP 3-
Go to the folder where you have installed xv2. (just right click on xv2 icon and select "open file location" or something like that) then Data->vfx. You should have a file called "vfx_spec.ers" inside (and a chara folder as well, if you don't have that folder restart from STEP 0). Make a backup copy of the file inside, if you have any, BEFORE EDITING IT! If you don't have "vfx_spec.ers" just drag and drop the one in this folder to your vfx folder. 

-STEP 4-
Drag "vfx_spec.ers" to " XV2 Xml Serializer.exe". It'll create a file called "vfx_spec.ers.Xml". Open that file with your text editor (Notepad++ if you got it, or just the normal txt editor in your pc)

-STEP 5-
Press Ctrl+F or in the menu use search. Search for: 

  </Entry>
  <Entry I_00="4">

It should be at least at line 665.

[See Image 2]

Right above </Entry> copy and paste the following code:

    <SubEntry ID="XXX" Str_04="">
      <File string="chara/ALX/ALX.eepk" />
    </SubEntry>

You need to substitute the XXX you see with the id you get in STEP 2. My is 151. If you dont know the id restart from STEP 1. Don't paste the above code over an existing one. Just between </Entry> and the last similar code you see.

-STEP 6-
Save and close the notepad. Drag the now edited "vfx_spec.ers.Xml" to the "XV2 Xml Serializer.exe".


CONCLUSION

This should be all. If you have any problem contact me on xv2 mods. If the above said is too difficult i can do it for you. If you have any suggestion/correction contact me! (just comment to any of my mod, preferably to this mod's page or the last one you see or by private message or write in the forum)
