Problems with compiling a .BF file with both .flow and .msg files edited | Persona Modding | Page 1

Title.

#

I'm basically making a patch for a another mod. My mod edits the .flow and another mod edits the .msg

#

As far as I can tell they edited .msg as normal

#

so basically from my understanding

#

if you're hooking + importing on the flow, editing existing messages doesn't quite work and you need to create a tag

#

so either in your .msg file that you're importing you 1. only include your additions 2. make a new message tag and use that in your flow

#

or

#

recompile the BF without the .msg changes, and edit the BMD using PersonaEditor and reinject

#

second approach is probably easier so can do that instead

#

Edit what .bmd? There's no bmd in use

wdym?

#

Only BF file

viral sierra Dec 30, 2022, 2:56 PM

#

BF files contain .bmds

#

that's where your .msg comes from

#

How do I inject a bmd in bf then?

viral sierra Dec 30, 2022, 2:57 PM

#

personaeditor

#

#

but yeah both of these approaches will work and yield pretty much the same result

#

except obviously if you do the new tag + hook import approach then you'll end up with some extra lines of code in your recompiled .msg but doesn't really matter

#

Some 700+ extra lines in total over 11 files that FLOW calls using .H indexes after doing some math so it matters to me 😄

#

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah that's the caveat

#

also the best part is

sinful solstice Dec 30, 2022, 3:01 PM

#

Meaning I'm not doing first approach and sooner will get rid of hooking 😄

#

stupid fucking [ref] tags use essentially line number as well

#

so yeah just use personaeditor if you need to 😃

sinful solstice Dec 30, 2022, 3:03 PM

#

Can PersonaEditor replace a BF file?

#

I mean replace with existing bmd, not edit them in personaeditor by hand

#

Looks like no it can't..

viral sierra Dec 30, 2022, 3:04 PM

#

ye

#

if you want to do it that way

sinful solstice Dec 30, 2022, 3:05 PM

#

Ah right. It doesn't open context menu while file is opened for whatever reason

viral sierra Dec 30, 2022, 3:05 PM

#

you use atlus script tools to recompile only your msg file

#

to get the bmd

sinful solstice Dec 30, 2022, 3:05 PM

#

Yeah that's the plan

viral sierra Dec 30, 2022, 3:07 PM

sinful solstice Ah right. It doesn't open context menu while file is opened for whatever reason
