(P5R PC) Kasumi as Protagonist

[short spade]

i tried lots of other variations but they wouldnt splice well

ideally i wanted pompous red haired woman but it sounded awful

[short spade]

actually this one didnt turn out too bad

less insulting okumura letsgo

[cyan needle]

yeah that sounds good

[modest fern]

😭

[kindred comet]

i used bonedynamics pro addon for blender to bake bone physics into the animations, i got a few done but i dont think the can really handle? some of p5r's animations

working with it is pretty annoying too bc of how janky it feels

im not sure if @fierce yew has found anything better yet but thats partly why i stopped working on it

aside from the physics i think the grappling animations just need some adjustments

[cyan needle]

i’d only really touch it for animations that really need it anyway

grappling animations are. something. and i know everytime the game opens a lock she’s off by a mile

[kindred comet]

unfortunately thats basically a good chunk of the battle animations

i tried baking physics for the crow showtime but it just didnt work

idk if i still have a screenshot of it

oh here it is

[cyan needle]

oh yeah that

[kindred comet]

even with some animations like the gun down shot thing it would do this

but then i somehow

got it to work?

this is a pretty extreme case though so i dont think it'll work

[cyan needle]

i don’t have the money for the plugin right now anyway, but il see how lite treats me

[kindred comet]

i can send you the plugin if you want

[cyan needle]

please do

[kindred comet]

i made the mistake of buying it

[cyan needle]

i’m willing to see if i can work around certain limitations

plus i have friends in the MMD community who could possibly help me with this also

[kindred comet]

i wish we had kawaii physics for p5 😭

[cyan needle]

i’ll see what i can do with lite right now

i crashed blender

works really well on her ponytail at least

lmk when you can send me the pro one i might get way better results with it

[cyan needle]

@short spade im getting some good results with physics baking

[short spade]

that's really good wow

super impressive

thanks for sharing that info @kindred comet i did mean to ask you about it but never got around to it

[kindred comet]

that looks great

gj!

[kindred comet]

ofc! if you have any more questions feel free to ask me

[cyan needle]

with how P5 is you kinda have to hand-animate some parts of it

[kindred comet]

yeah pretty much

[cyan needle]

the initial position + front of the skirt is manual because the skirt just. ignores the leg collision for some reason

[cyan needle]

i spent too long playing batting cages i hate it

it has good enough physics for casual play though which is all we really need

[cyan needle]

the fact the rig is literally killing itself during the animation is honestly adding to the animation so much

[gilded frost]

is that a jojo reference

[cyan needle]

? how?

[gilded frost]

roundabout playing in the background lmao

[cyan needle]

oh

no i just like the song

[short spade]

Thanks! I’ll throw this in

How are you finding the addon to use?

[cyan needle]

terrible for skirt physics, but can be pretty good for a lot of things

[cyan needle]

@short spade if you ever want a video for it, i did end up recording a video of me doing one of these

took 24 minutes (was also only a 41 frame animation)

i also had to hand animate part of her hair here so that took a bit more time also

[short spade]

Oh if you could send that over that would be really helpful

I'd love to give this a go myself but I'd be a bit lost on where to start

[cyan needle]

it won’t be a comprehensive tutorial and is more just “this is how i’m doing it, assuming you have the model and animation already set up”

lemme finish this

it’s also really bad at subtly

[short spade]

Yeah that's fine even that would give me some good reference

[cyan needle]

little recording of editing it using the graph editor

(the main video is processing ill send it when its done)

this is helpful if just a part is clipping it helps to move it a certain direction

also sometimes its easier to use the physics as an additional on top of a manual drawing

like here i manually animated the first frame then used the physics to make the physics for the rest of it

man a lot of ann animations are left over in yoshizawa files

almost her entire field folder is ann animations

some look pretty unfinished too

they also just? dont fit ann?

ann as a character i mean

might just be oldly espicific

some have her hands clipping but thats because theyre meant for this outfit

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71lZ4n04K6A @short spade

[short spade]

i'm experimenting with the grapple anims

[short spade]

so close yet so far she looks so cursed 😭

[light horizon]

Personally I didn't see what's wrong or I'm just too dumb to notice

Their last pose or smth?

[short spade]

Her legs and jacket are both scuffed cause working with the menu model is pain

[snow aspen]

If Yoshizawa is the protagonist then who’ll take her place 🤔

[cyan needle]

kotone shiomi

/j

[short spade]

I know there’s the story overhaul that replaces the real Sumi with the p5 FemC model but from what I saw it’s pretty buggy

That’s a whole other mod in itself though

[cyan needle]

i mean

the model for that is already public

if you really want to

i was mainly joking

in reality itd probably be joker but the lack of portraits makes it hard

[oblique juniper]

arent there fanmade ones with the full expression sheet? you could ask for permission from the original artist even

[snow aspen]

I only saw like 2

Out of how many is needed

[buoyant mesa]

alot.

[snow aspen]

Holy shit

Ren doesn’t have even a quarter of these how is anyone gonna make Ren a character do they draw him themselves

[cyan needle]

this is a bit of an exegration since she has duel sheets due to the sumire evrsion

her main shujin has 6 with 2 blush alts

and this seems to go for most of these

realistically we wouldnt redesign Ren just for a Sumire alt (probably just remove his glasses)

its 13 outfits, 5 of which have Sumire alts

and 1 outfit thats Sumire exclusive

so in total 6 expressions (blush isnt a very hard thing ot add, unless you want to do the very expressive Sumire alt) and 14 outfits

still a fuck ton but that image exaggerates how much due to her status as a complicated character

[cyan needle]

this also ignores the fact some dont have some expressions

[brazen fractal]

mb if this has already been asked (apparently you can't search inside a thread on mobile), but is there any plans to push an update on gamebanana?

[snow aspen]

Do you have it?

[snow aspen]

I never saw it

[snow aspen]

It’s not on GB or Nexus

[velvet crow]

is that project but nobody works more in that project

https://gamebanana.com/wips/77321

[cyan needle]

its mudkips P3 conmversion mod, Kotone is currently in there

i apologise for saying that the Kasumi model is available, as it currently isnt

[snow aspen]

Is it gone

[cyan needle]

no it’s just not publically released

Weis didn’t want to release it as Mudkip’s mod isn’t officially fully released

[snow aspen]

I guess the only way to get it doesn’t exists anymore since Mudkip is rn busy with Project FEMC for P3R

[cyan needle]

you can get kotone herself and i can probably send it here

i made the original outfit swap over

[snow aspen]

Outfit swap?

What outfits

Did Kotone have a Phantom outfit?

[cyan needle]

as in putting Kotone’s outfit onto Yoshizawa

[snow aspen]

Where can I get Kotone herself

[willow shale]

[unique beacon]

Just seen all the incredible work that has been done on this since the last update! Big thanks to you, XJustAdam and all the others working to continue this venture!

I was wondering if there is a chance we might see an updated release soon? No pressure either way, I'm just glad to see it hasn't been entirely dropped, but I am curious!

[snow aspen]

Most likely not

[zenith scaffold]

This is totally random and I am pretty sure this mod is dead BUT did anyone ever release a mod fix that changed jokers battle portrait with Kasumi?

[snow aspen]

Battle portrait? You mean the hp sp meter?

[zenith scaffold]

Yes! Sorry haha

[zenith scaffold]

I found the file but no clue as to how to change it

[snow aspen]

Find Sumi’s and rename it to REN’s

Where it’s at I have no idea

[zenith scaffold]

Oh i didnt even realise they had specific ones I just found the main group one thats like a spd file but No clue how to edit it lol

[mystic wyvern]

You're on the right track with this actually.
Unfortunately it's a bit more complicated than simply swapping the texture.

It's been a while since I did this, and I'm pretty sure I can't share the files as I used colourful pack as a basis. However, editing that texture you found should lead to a result like this with proper alignment. (mine is a little scuffed because I was making it for personal use)

The real issue is when it comes to combat. The background of your status pannel is a PLG which is a bit more complicated to edit. So that same texture edit will look like this on it's own:

If you want I can recreate my current texture with the default ones, or you can take your own try at it. If you want to go down that route I personally extract and repack my textures using Persona Editor, since it has a GUI and this was my first try at modding a persona game.

[snow aspen]

I think the mod(s) are done just a few problems like with first meeting Takemi possibly softlocking you and a major one for me

points at NPC Sumi her

[grizzled crystal]

i think you might be able to just duplicate sumis and rename it to jokers and that might work

[short spade]

hey i've only just noticed all this - just wanted to clarify the mod isn't "dead" it's just not being worked on super consistently. i cant speak for Wisteria as I just kinda picked up where they left off and have been tweaking and editing stuff from time to time, but we're each just one person and there's not a lot to post when both of us are doing other things. the party panel was done by me a while ago, i'm gonna look into cleaning up what's been done and seeing if Wisteria is happy to update the mod as I think there's a fair amount been done compared to the latest release

the last thing i was working on was baking physics into animations but got burned out half way through as it's pretty tedious, so they'll probably get left out

[snow aspen]

I thought it was cuz of what the GB page said

[short spade]

oh? if wisteria posted something about it on GB i haven't seen it

[mystic wyvern]

I believe the PLG was one file with all of them stacked. It's been a while so I might be misremembering.

[short spade]

yeah that's right - i edited it in blender to replace joker's with sumi's

[mystic wyvern]

Still, really glad to hear UI has been done.

well, the party pannel to be clear, well aware main menu is a whole different kettle of fish

[short spade]

yeah for the pause menu i've just hidden joker for the time being as i think a menu model for sumi wouldn't look great with the menu animations, it'd also need new 2d art to match

outside of that and the main menu model i've replaced most other things that i could

i'm thinking to wait until Persona Essentials has been updated before sending over my build to Wisteria - as there's a bug with that rn that will cause crashes with mods that have edits to VISUAL.TBL, which the new version will have to correct Sumi's attack animation

[snow aspen]

It said on the story overhaul one that they want to close the book on it unless I got the wrong person

[short spade]

story overhaul is a different mod and different author

no disrespect to that mod or it's author but personally i prefer overlaying this mod on top of P5R Female Protagonist for a better femc experience

i just remove their costumes and replacements for joker's models/animations to benefit from the rest of their changes

[zenith scaffold]

@mystic wyvern Im happy if you wanted to have a crack at it as you said and use those until the mod gets a new update because currently I hate looking at jokers ui hehe.

Also I had no idea it would be this complicated lmao that is probably why I have so many issues with doing so 😅

[rose rock]

Glad to see that this mod is still being worked on, I'd love too see an update at some point - I need an excuse to replay P5 after finishing P3 Reload

[open gull]

If you don't mind me asking; assuming that you edited the dds texture, how'd you get the sprites aligned properly (namely Kasumi's portraits over Joker's)? Did you guesstimate it? Trying it myself and I'm not sure where to start. 😅

[open gull]

So I played around with the mod's retargeted anims and I managed to swap a few of Joker's anims with Kasumi's. Not posting this publicly since it uses assets from the mod but you can feel free to add it to the mod in an update if you want.
(The only anims I swapped were the beef bowl anims (specifically when meeting with the boss), the "tired after a workout" anims (the transition anim from working out at the gym is unchanged and looks jank as a result) and the "turning around after opening a chest" anim.

[astral chasm]

Hey everyone! I'm really glad this project isn't dead 💗 I was wondering if there are any additional files or updates that complement the version released by Westeria?

[long axle]

Let me help u with the question. I am not rlly gud at explaining, but for me i just remove every joker stuff on the dds texture and then simply replace it with kasumi, at first yes its scuffed the hud are not lined properly, so what i do next is i take 2 screenshots (in game) of my scuffed sumi hud and the real sumi hud.
use any photo editor and idk try make the scuffed one lined correctly just like the real one, like this

[open gull]

Ah thx! Tried that at first with limited success but I'll take another crack at it. For some reason, using F12 to take screenshots stopped working for me.

[long axle]

try windows shift s

[open gull]

Will try that, thx!

[unique beacon]

Hey, if anyone does end up fixing the party panel, would they mind sending it my way...? I would be very grateful. ❤️

[ebon bear]

Here you go. Just copy that into your Kasumi Protag mod folder

Any mod that colours the party panel, like EPICPartyPanel or Colorful Pack, or overwrites sprites, like Long Hair Ann, will override it but I can make separate versions that are compatible with them

[astral chasm]

does this fix Kasumi's mini-portrait during battles?

[ebon bear]

This replaces as many of Joker's sprites as I was able to find. The hud sprite (out of combat, in combat and player's turn), pause menu, Velvet Room Itemization, Level Up icon (regular and insta-kill), Darts and Billiards, Showtime icon on stats

There might be some I missed but I think it's a majority, though some may be off-center

[astral chasm]

you're a saint, ILY ❤️ thank u so much!!

[ebon bear]

No problem

[unique beacon]

You're amazing! Thank youuu~ ❤️

I'll have to give this a shot later

[open gull]

Nice! Thx for doing this!

Tinkered with a few more of the mod's retargeted anims. I also managed to edit CBT'S VISUAL.TBL in an attempt to fix the timing of Kasumi's melee anim.

[astral chasm]

gonna test this rn!

[astral chasm]

didn't work for me

do i need to replace the wisteria files or use this by itself?

I tried using its own folder, it shows the correct melee anim but not exactly on the right timing, @open gull ! It's like the final hit/effect/sound appears too soon

but thank you so much!! ❤️

[velvet crow]

if someone want to use female equipement with this mod you can use item.tbl from femaleprotagonist mod and will let you use female equipement

[ebon bear]

Here's an edited version of Kasumi's Featherman Costume with the colour scheme of Joker's Featherman Costume

[hasty dock]

Sorry for the sudden message. I want to use JP voice for this mod, but it's all written in English and I don't understand it. If anyone knows, please let me know. By the way, I'm a second year high school student and I'm really bad at English. This is all text generated by translation.

[velvet kite]

I'm currently working on an offshoot of this mod that replaces all of the protagonist Kasumi's models (overworld and metaverse) with the alternate (hair down) versions added as costumes by Custom Bonus Tweaks. Figured I should ask if it would be like, inappropriate or rude or something to publish it to gamebanana, as in its current state it's effectively just recycling others' work

I say "in its current state" as I would also like to eventually make "hair down" versions of overworld models not covered by Custom Bonus Tweaks' costumes, such as the various job uniforms

[buoyant mesa]

I would firstly ask the creator/s of Custom Bonus Tweaks if it were fine for you to use them, and just give credit where credit is due on the actual mod page

[velvet kite]

That makes sense, thanks

[kindred comet]

Go for it, I don't mind

[zealous fjord]

Hello! I'm pretty much asking the same thing. I'm editing the models with the hair color and eye color of the "real” Kasumi (brownish instead of red). I don't intend to change more of the models for now as I'm not very experienced with it. As I might publish the mod in the future, is this alright with you ? I'll give proper credit to this mod and CBT.

[split pine]

she also has a slightly different face texture and I think a mole that's part of the face model

[kindred comet]

That's fine by me!

[zealous fjord]

Yes, and I think she has a slightly different eye shape too. I'm trying the easy things for now

[split pine]

I already did all the models as her last year, but I think the author was inactive for a bit, I even changed the overworld outfit colors, I'd post it in here if they were cool with it

[zealous fjord]

Ah ah, that's neat. And probably much cleaner than what I'm trying to do

[zealous fjord]

My changes look decent enough. I'll definitely check out your models if you ever get to release them though. It would work nicely with another mod I'm working on... 👀

[snow aspen]

https://tenor.com/view/mereka-ada-dua-gif-26176113

[split pine]

actually had an idea earlier to make her phantom thief outfit Joker's colors and I think it looks pretty good

[cyan sun]

That does look pretty good

[zealous fjord]

Yeah it looks great! It makes her look a bit closer to one the earlier concept they have in the art book

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/megamitensei/images/3/3e/Concept_art_Sumire.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20200217170640

There's also one person on Deviantart with a similar looking model https://www.deviantart.com/necroalx/art/Rose-and-Violet-FEM-protagonist-AU-887336358

[worn topaz]

omg this is actually something I'd been messing around with for my personal copy of the mod. I could never figure out making a custom model for the mask but I'm pretty ok at photoshop so I made this and like a bunch of other assets for her bustups and cut-ins

[wind mural]

omg this is actually my dream mod — I’ve always loved the beta femc design and thought brown-hair Kasumi would be perfect for models and cut ins…seriously these are amazing 😭

[arctic estuary]

oh heavens no the kasumis are plentiful

[snow aspen]

Or not enough

We need more

[cyan sun]

Replace every character with Kasumi

[kindred comet]

I'm thinking of continuing development on this mod and just cutting my losses with the physics for battle animations for now

The current dev build and voice patch mod are in a super good spot right now so I'll try to look at the trello and see what I have left

[kindred comet]

@short spade @cyan needle would you two be willing to help me work on the mod again? these are the things i need to fix (goho-m excluded) and i'd super appreciate the help

there's probably some other bugs i missed so feel free to report them

[astral chasm]

omg wisteria's back? im gonna cry of joy

[short spade]

the legend returns! it’s been a while since i looked at my WIP build but it has a bunch of fixes in there i was preparing to share with the episode violet team but i think that project may already be on a hiatus, so im happy to share what i had worked on with you! i’ll shoot you a dm when i’m off work and have a moment

[kindred comet]

sounds good thank you!

[silver orbit]

I'm glad they've started development again and I'm looking forward to seeing this mod completed.

[kindred comet]

Would you be okay with me adding this to the main mod? I'll be sure to credit you

[ebon bear]

Yeah, you can use it and with the edit I made the Featherman Costume if you'd like. My gamebannana id is the same as my discord.

[kindred comet]

Thank you! I'll try adding the featherman costume as a selectable costume in costume framework

[kindred comet]

quick update on this, i just retargeted the animation again with joker's jacket bones renamed to sumi's jacket bones and it works pretty well with some minor tweaking

i'll try and edit it by hand a bit so there's less clipping

i have no idea how i'm going to handle the hair/ribbon/skirt physics since they seem to break with this animation but i'll try

for now i'll probably just add a few keyframes to the hair and ribbons so they dont freak out

[long axle]

exciting :))

[kindred comet]

im not sure where this came from but the winter casual is back to being her normal winter casual

i will add both variations of her purple dress (ponytail, hair down) as costumes though

unfortunately this means i have to do the flashbacks without access to zmenu :/

also the mod now uses costume framework's character slots

it should work the same as before you just need to set joker's slot to 1 in the costume framework config

[short spade]

oh was that me? i remember changing these around but i cant remember why - in the flashback images i used she has her purple dress for winter casual so honestly i couldn't tell you what happened there

[kindred comet]

it might've been? honestly i have no idea

i can probably just use shrinefox's p5r mod menu but i miss zmenu 💔

[short spade]

you could probably downgrade your p5 version to use zmenu if you wanted to

though that might be more of a pain than it's worth

[kindred comet]

mood

[kindred comet]

i think costume framework would crash unfortunately

Akechi and Joker's showtime animation is mostly done

the boss one at least

3 more to go

close enough 😭

ok her jacket is under control again

the physics arent super good or anything but i think its passable for now

i'll probably tweak it more later its just hard to keep up with the animation in blender

I probably won't bake skirt physics for this since I don't think I can but it doesn't look super bad without them

[kindred comet]

proper audio for the crow showtime

also ignore her mouth being broken

includes 3 variations just like the original

her voice clips arent synced with her mouth movements but honestly idrc

[open gull]

Nice!

Am toying with the idea of renaming Joker's weapons to better suit Violet. I used the gun names from P5T's NG+ (with the addition of Winchester II and III to fill the ranks) and for melee weapons, I borrowed some of Mitsuru's rapiers from other games and got creative with a couple of entries (eg: Sunkiss, Black Katana).

[kindred comet]

These are super good

I probably won't add them to the main mod since I'd like to avoid gameplay changes but feel free to make an addon with things like cendrillion over arsene and the new gun names/properties

This will probably be one of the last times I tweak this animation im free

fixed her hair clipping

ill try to see if i can bake skirt physics but i might just add a few keyframes so they dont flip out if i cant

also i have no idea how to fix her sword disappearing

[kindred comet]

Do you still have the audio for this? I'd like to add it if possible!

Same with the grapple animation with physics

[kindred comet]

finally fixing the scp containment breach at the shrine

this one slipped past my radar because it's in the english cpk for some reason

also rirurin's gfd fork can read all p5 animations now i think?

which means i can actually fix the Goho-M animation

but im lazy so ill probably just keep the placeholder for now until i bake proper physics/tweak it

or just find something to replace it with

the arms look kinda weird might fix that but

this isnt the cleanest fix but this should hopefully prevent any weird keyframe issues

[kindred comet]

note to self: AE0001_210.gap & 271 have study animations

[snow aspen]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-patrick-star-its-a-giraffe-spongebob-squarepants-gif-16522065

[short spade]

Yep this and the cendrillon voice lines are in my fork

[short spade]

oh nvm they're not actually but they should be

[kindred comet]

ohh okay yeah i was gonna say

if you could commit/send those + the cendrillion awakening that would be super cool, i would like to get an addon started that replaces arsene with cendrillon

[short spade]

just put them up now

[kindred comet]

thanks! ill take a look at it later today

[kindred comet]

i'll try tweaking it to fix the skirt flipping out but this turned out much better than i expected

[kindred comet]

its a little hard to see but the ambush animation has physics now so her jacket/skirt doesnt look like cardboard

[kindred comet]

updated a lot of metaverse animations to use the jacket physics from joker which should hopefully lighten the workload a lot

[kindred comet]

oh and i fixed the landing animation

[kindred comet]

smaller thing but i fixed her pulling out her phone twice when getting a phone call

[short spade]

this all looks great!! i didn't expect you to make such good progress so quickly!

[zealous fjord]

Yeah, it's looking very good. Happy to see the progress!

[kindred comet]

okay i figured out the weapon's spawn position

its tied to the h_Motion_hand_R/h_M_HR1 bone now i just need to figure out how to prevent the sword from appearing

[kindred comet]

looked into it more and yeah i have no idea how they handle item spawning

[grizzled crystal]

is the bone not just scaled down for that part of the anim ? altho actually maybe not if the guns tied to the same one

[kindred comet]

no the bone is never scaled down in the original animation tmk

I think it might be tied to the same bone there as well but I can't confirm

actually I could just delete sumires sword and see what happens

lmao it's an issue with her sword

guess ill just try replacing the mesh in the dagger gmd

[fierce yew]

no but its same issue

sumi sword doesnt use same bones joker does

[zealous fjord]

Small question: are you planning on integrating the "Cendrillon over Arsene Patch" into the mod? It will conflict with a mod I'm doing so I want to plan for it if you do not keep it optional.

[kindred comet]

no I'd rather it be an addon mod

I want to keep the main mod purely visual

and it'd be a little weird if I replaced arsene's model but nothing else

[shell wren]

I know the kasumi protagonist story mod changes the model for arsene

It only changes the model too so it might not interfere with anything since it doesn’t change the moveset

[kindred comet]

that's true I'm just not super sure how it would affect the satanael cutscene and also I think Sumi with arsene is neat

[shell wren]

I think for cutscenes with arsene like the fusion cutscene it has the cendrillon model with the arsene skeleton

[short spade]

i think an old version of the party panel file might be in there as i noticed some sprites are cutting off - here's my up to date one if you need it wisty

[kindred comet]

thanks! although I'm not super sure what the difference is 😓

[short spade]

on that sprite the mask cuts off cause it’s misaligned and it bleeds over into another

[kindred comet]

OHHH I see now

[viscid ravine]

Wow these look great! It would be awesome if you and Zylvos uploading your mods of these models. I always wanted to try doing something similiar but I suck at making my own mods lol

[zealous fjord]

I intend on releasing my models (more like re-textures) now that I have all the permissions I need. I'm not quite done with them yet, but I should be able to release them soon.

[viscid ravine]

Great! I look forward to it. 🙂

[zealous fjord]

https://gamebanana.com/mods/552319

I did a thing

[dry igloo]

Wow that's really cool

[viscid ravine]

Oh how exciting! I shall try it out sometime tonight. 🙂

[shell wren]

When ever I try to extract the mod into the folder, it doesnt show up in reloaded, has anyone else had this issue?

seems to be related to the mod. I was able to install other mods, and when I tried testing by copying the files into another mod it removed it from reloaded

[cyan sun]

yeah same here

[shell wren]

a work around I found is to back up your kasumi protag mod, then copy and paste the alt mod's essentials folder in to the protag mod

[open gull]

Ay nicely done!
Quick tip since people will probably ask for it at some point: if you right click the mod in Reloaded and select Publish, it'll create a 7z file you can upload which'll have 1 click support enabled. It took me a lil while to find out about that, but it does save the trouble of using 7zip to manually pack mods.

[kindred comet]

super cool!

[zealous fjord]

Oh, that's how you do it. Thanks !

[zealous fjord]

I found what's causing the issue. I made a typo in the config.json. I forgot to fix it in the uploaded version

[zealous fjord]

I fixed it and I added the 1 click support. Thanks for the feedback

[kindred comet]

Currently looking into the weapon thing, I messed up the root weights but the hilt of her sword does appear

i have no idea how i would fix this though

it might not be fixable but ill still try and get her sword to appear during the attack

i could just rename the bone to the dagger's bone but that would probably break sumi's attack animations

[kindred comet]

this should hopefully be the final update for this animation im so sick of it

rebaked the skirt physics so theyre less elasticty and weird

theyre still not super perfect but the camera obscures them most of the time and also im so tired of skirt physics

working on metaverse anims right now

ill try changing the arm on this one later

[kindred comet]

a ton of regular grappling hook animations have physics now!

its not super noticeable but this should fix the clipping

[astral chasm]

Wisteria, do you intend to post all these updates on GB or will they be just here on Discord? They're all amazing so far

[kindred comet]

Just posting progress updates here since its easier

But when I'm done the update/mod will be released on GB

[short spade]

they look so good!! you're really on a roll with these

[kindred comet]

Thank you!! I hope to work my way through all of these soon

[shell wren]

I know its just the animation program but I love the spiked knee

[kindred comet]

bye bye to skirt clipping!

[astral chasm]

im so happy with those updates 😭

[cursive lintel]

LOOK AT HER GO

[tepid fjord]

Actually why do these spikes appear in the program? I was messing around in Kasumi's files the other day and just wondered why

[cursive lintel]

those are her model's bones

they're used for posing the model when animating and are invisible in game.

[celest thicket]

Sadly they aren't, I don't know exactly what they are but those aren't the bones.

[tepid fjord]

yeah I've worked with 3D before, and even when the bones aren't set to show, like with GFD Studio, those weird spikes show up, at least on all of her models I've checked.

[cursive lintel]

weird. idk what they are then

[kindred comet]

they're probably just markers

some parts of the mesh are used for effects though like the smearing here

[supple moat]

Anyone still able to play with the mods installed ?
Game's crashing in prologue for me with any mods enabled but I wanna replay the game as Kasumi

[cursive lintel]

this mod's fine for me, it's probably a different mod that's fucked, or you just need to redownload either the mod or the game if not

[supple moat]

Just installed everything last night, it works with only essentials enabled but crashes when someone else gets added

Also tried stuff like replacing the exe with the previous version, not updating essentials after installation ect.

[cursive lintel]

weird. but it's probably unrelated to this mod specifically so you should make a thread in #1045463162452987924

[supple moat]

alrighty, just wanted to ask in case something's known about issues. ^^

[silver orbit]

Sorry if this is a known issue

I had a small bug on my thigh

[tepid fjord]

stabsumi

[kindred comet]

That's normal, I'll try to fix this on a case per case basis when I do another playthrough but I won't be able to fix everything

there are just too many animations to realistically fix everything

[short spade]

i did replace the anims in this scene with her own awakening anims but they were still a little off looking

but at least she wasnt impaling herself

[rain tangle]

Sorry if this was mentioned, and or fixed already! But whenever I try and use any of the new outfits, like the midwinter fits, or job uniforms, they all turn out like this, know a fix?

[supple moat]

from what I remember you have to replace mc's clothes clothes folder with the one from Kasumi

but I cant remember where the folder was

[kindred comet]

It should be an easy fix I can release a quick patch for it here when I get home

it happens bcs the mod was made before costume framework was released

[rain tangle]

ok!

[supple moat]

Out of curiosity, do you ever plan on making a mod/fix for the missing voice lines like when Kasumi calls out Cendrillon when using a skill as example ?
Since those never play when I use skills ect.

[kindred comet]

It depends since I added Happy Grinch's voice mod to the main mod which contains those voice lines

But I might replace the Cendrillion ones since I have no plans to replace Arsene

Either way I will probably have an option to download the ones with cendrillion/Vanadis/ella lines

[supple moat]

Yeah, found myself giving my the "real cendrillon" since I like to use Arsene as well.
Cendrillon and Arsene only for the "roleplay" aspect ^^

You can't imagine how happy I was when I found out people are still working on the Kasumi mods

[kindred comet]

Oh in that case I don't think it's possible to add

Shrimply since atlus didn't add any specific voice lines for joker using party member personas tmk

[cursive lintel]

this is why makoto and aigis are the best persona protagonists (they did record lines for them using everyone else's personas in fes

[supple moat]

Would it be possible to replace then with the arsene voicelines like you mentioned ? o:

[snow aspen]

Is Ren ok there

[rain tangle]

he just needs a massage 🥰

[supple moat]

would love that option. :3

[open gull]

If we're talking the added CF costumes in CBT, its as simple as renaming the Sumire folder to Joker and vice versa. Unless you still want vanilla Violet in the game, in which case you'll want to create a copy of the Sumire folder and rename it to Joker.

Mind ya, for the costume BGM to work, you'll want to keep the Gekkoukan + Yasogami + other respective folders from the original CBT Joker folder due to the pme files adding the costume BGM.

You'll also want to copy + paste the pme files into the Alt costume folders for them to use the added costume bgm.

[open gull]

The only costumes I've had issues with in regards to model swapping are the P5D and Raidou dlc outfits respectively.

[rain tangle]

Yeah, I had issues with those too, but theres also another issue where any of the alternate, or unused outfits stay on anytime you enter the velvet room and don't revert until you sleep

like I was wearing the P3D outfits, entered the velvet room, and they stayed on

not that big of an issue, kinda cool honestly, but I'm js addressing that too

[astral chasm]

Wisteria, in this update you're working on, Kasumi's attack animation will be fixed as well?

[kindred comet]

the attack timing?

[astral chasm]

yep!

[kindred comet]

that should be fixed

adam fixed it a while back

[kindred comet]

sorry for the lack of progress lately! ive been busy with life things but i'll try and get back to doing some more stuff this week

[open gull]

Hey, no rush! For the record, you've made a ton of significant progress already, and since the mod is still in beta, I doubt anyone'll expect the next update to be perfect or even complete. If it's less pressure on ya, I reckon you could get away with just doing small updates at your own leisure instead of worrying about a big new "complete" landmark release. But you're the modder. Do whatever works best for ya.

[rain tangle]

Was playing through the game again recently and was wondering if it would ever be possible to make an addon where it would swap sumis current idle anim during exploration with her usual party member one? It uses it at the very beginning during the tutorial segments, but it swaps it with the current one using her battle pose on 4/18.

[kindred comet]

That's been fixed in the upcoming version

[rain tangle]

oh ok!

[kindred comet]

I personally just kept the battle one bcs I liked it :P

[astral chasm]

so excited for the new update!! ❤️

[rain tangle]

ikr!

[kindred comet]

[shell wren]

Wisteria ate the mod files...

[rain tangle]

vro got too hungry.. 😔

[astral chasm]

wdym 👀

[open gull]

Guess 'Sumi's appetite rubbed off on them.

[kindred comet]

I think I've gotten the majority of the common animations out of the way, including all battle ones (except sumire showtime bcs I'm lazy and that will be a bit of work)

the ones I need to do now are really the special grappling hook animations and some random field ones and then I think I can release the mod

I'm just... not really sure how to fix the grappling animations 🥲 I just need to position the arm correctly but I'm not really sure how to apply rotations to multiple key frames without just overwriting the original ones

[rain tangle]

No worries! Take as much time as you need. As Shigeru Miyamoto once said, "A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad."

[kindred comet]

Hi everyone! So I'm wondering if I should just go ahead and make a release version of the mod as is right now, I'll make a new page for it and everything! The main thing missing rn is the grappling hook stuff but I think everything else is much better now. Should I go ahead and do this?

[open gull]

Sounds good to me!

[rain tangle]

Same here!

[astral chasm]

so excited!!! ❤️✨

[remote ravine]

Incoming peak mod :>

[unique beacon]

New Year, New Mod, as they say...(is that what they say...?)

But we would all very much appreciate it! But do what you think is best!

[astral chasm]

I've been reading this saying for years, and it's spot on 🤣 happy 2025, everyone! And especially to you, Wisteria! Your work is amazing, and it's a privilege to witness the evolution of this project

[kindred comet]

Thank you 💜

I'll try working on a new build tonight

And I'll probably release it here first for bug testing

[sick grail]

[remote ravine]

my goat 😭

[kindred comet]

Here's the first test build, please feel free to download it and report any issues

https://gamebanana.com/sounds/73909 and you can download this for VO

in order for the mod to work you need costume framework, configure it and set joker's character assets slot to slot_1

Changelog:

• New loading screen wipes
• New flashback images
• Fixed melee timing
• A ton of fixed event animations
• Fixed umbrella animations
  (ty adam for everything above!)
• Kotone costume
• Results icon & various gui fixes (by sparkblakintine)
• Batting cage animations (by Atlus_West)
• Beef bowl & workout animations (by HappyGrinch08)
• Various field animation fixes
• Physics and tweaks for metaverse field animations (special grappling hook spots not fixed yet)
• Physics and tweaked animations for all battle animations (sumire showtime excluded)
• More countless animation tweaks
• Added Kotone costume

I'm going to look into tweaking the grappling hook, hideout, and eventually the sumire showtime animations next before finally releasing it on gamebanana

[mighty snow]

This is incredible work Wisteria, thank you for putting your time into making this

Do you have any plans to put Ella over Raoul? Or Vanadis over Raoul?

[kindred comet]

Thank you! And at the moment I don't have any, if anyone else wants to make an addon mod for that then I'm totally ok with it!

[rain tangle]

Hey there! I've noticed a few bugs in the test build.

• Jokers voice clips still play during him and Akechi's showtime.

• Sumi's party panel seems to be cropped a tad bit too.

• Her coattails don't seem to have physics when sliding, opening/hitting doors, talking in saferooms, opening chests both locked and unlocked, pressing buttons/pulling handles, and when grappling from special places, like the top of the hall of grail where a little cutscene plays. They also have a tendency to weirdly move in the same way her limbs move, like when climbing up onto a ledge, they'll fold upwards mimicking her hands animation.

• A lot of the addons people have made seem to have stopped working altogether, like almost all of HappyGrinch08's ones have stopped working altogether, plus a few others, like CBT's costumes it adds, but I'm not sure if that one was done on purpose or not. Some regular outfits seem to be gone too, like the summer uniform and clothing.

Hope this helps! I'll keep lookin for more issues and goofs if I can haha. :3

[mighty snow]

Which addons still work?

[rain tangle]

From what I've seen, only the story overhaul, and voice patches.

Not sure if the Cendrillion one still works though, as I have it at max level on my save file.

Js figured out that it doesn't either :/

It usually changes Arsenes name to be Cendrillion, along with Raoul to be Ella, but those have been reverted too.

[open gull]

Out of curiosity, what does that config setting do? Asking cuz my knowledge of costume framework is pretty basic, so I'm unsure of what it does for the mod, and how/whether it affects CBT's costumes.

[open gull]

I'm away atm so it'll be a few days before I get back and can look through the test build, but I should note that the Cendrillon + equipment addons replace several TBLs (notably ITEM.TBL, NAME.TBL, PERSONA.TBL and UNIT.TBL) so if the test build replaces any of those, there might be a conflict. But I'll have to check when I get back home.

[kindred comet]

it basically just loads any assets under the Characters > Joker > 1 folder when that option is selected

it should help with costume compatibility hopefully

so like if you install a costume mod you wont get a bunch of deformed joker models in the protag's costume menu

ofc it means u wont get those costumes at all unless u manually add them but i think thats ok

[kindred comet]

Could you record some of the animations for me?

I think I know which ones youre talking abt but I wanna make sure

Also I forgot, I did fix the showtime clips but its in a separate mod 😅

Showtimes use one big audio file which is why replacing battle voice clips doesnt affect them

[kindred comet]

The test build only replaces VISUAL.TBL so it shouldnt cause too many issues

I'll try looking into it though

BTW any new costume mods will have to use costume framework

Moving them over should be pretty easy though

Add CF as a dependency and make this directory in the root folder: Costumes\Joker

Then make a folder with the name of your costume

Put this config.yaml inside that folder

And put the gmd in Costumes\Joker, it must have the same name as the folder

[kindred comet]

If you want a description you can put this inside the folder too and edit it to be whatever you want

[kindred comet]

The cendrillion mod works for me so I'm not super sure what the issue is

I should also mention, any addon mods that change animations will need swap from using the P5REssentials\CPK\BASE.CPK directory layout to the costume framework Characters\Joker\1 character slot directory

although i dont really recommend using those yet since they might overwrite the changes i made to certain anims

This is how CF's character assets feature works

[velvet crow]

as i see fast there is a costume called blender testing i think that costume shouldn't be there on final release

[open gull]

Ah good to know, thx!

[rain tangle]

Sure thing!

Here's the vid! (Sorry for the somewhat low framerate, obs tends to lower it for some reason. ;w;)

They also bend toward her legs when jumping down too, but its less noticeable as it happens right before you hit the ground.

[rain tangle]

Where would the root folder be?

[rain tangle]

Oh and the way its broken for me is Cendrillons description and skills are working fine, but the name is still Arsene. Figured that out a bit ago.

Theres a similar issue with the Weapons and Equipment addon too, where the icons, amount of ammo, and damage change, but not the names.

[lilac needle]

Who hurt her why does she look so sad lol

Also her mouth is kinda broken?

Her face in palaces is even worse lmao

Also the AOA still show's joker's for some reason

[prime orbit]

Kotone's outfit looks so good on her!!!!!

[lilac needle]

Also checked on other overworld outfits and it's only the winter uniform that gives her that face for some reason

[lilac needle]

I'm gonna assume she has that face on all other costumes lmao

[lilac needle]

OK forget all i said above i figured it was my mistake lol

I accidentally replaced the original mod files instead of just adding the updated stuff onto the original stuff so that's why it was all janky lol

[lilac needle]

Oh yea except for that part, that's still a present problem lol

[snow aspen]

She’s trying to be like Fuuka

[prime orbit]

The AOA shows up normally for me

[velvet crow]

anims for crossword still missing her hands are below the table 🤣

[lilac needle]

Weird, to me it‘s still jokers AOA?

[kindred comet]

might be a mod conflict, try checking your mod load order

[kindred comet]

honestly I forgot crossword exists

I think I'll probably just replace it with one of her sitting anims, I think she has one where she's thinking

[kindred comet]

ohhh I see what you mean

that's bcs I just retargeted jokers physics over

[prime orbit]

I mean, i had the femc redux mod, i just disabled it

and somehow the two mixed up

[kindred comet]

idk if I'll fix it or not since all the parkour animations kinda have janky physics bcs of that

and there's just... a lot of them

[kindred comet]

The mod root folder, so something like p5rpc.modname

[lilac needle]

That‘ll be a struggle to figure out

Though i have a theory

Ok ye my theory was right

It was the Joker over Violet mod

My mistake again, sorries!!

[velvet spoke]

trying it out it's pretty great

[rain tangle]

Ok thanks!

[open gull]

Oh yeah, there's an updated version of that mod on the Episode Violet discord which fixes the AoA. Just thought you'd like to know.

The physics still have yet to be updated tho.

[zealous fjord]

Nice work Wisteria! I've tried it on some events that had broken animations, and it's looks great now!
I've also managed to make my alternate model work with CF

I've noted a few things:

• Like Mel said, you have to combine the current version of the mod (0.2.2) with the test build to avoid the weird face.

• There is a patch shared by HappyGrinch/Joelcula on this thread with some fixed animations that are not in the test build

Here for the sitting anim, it's AE0001_002.GAP

It's this patch :

[wraith juniper]

Count Joelcula

Tinkered with a few more of the mod's retargeted anims. I also managed to edit CBT'S VISUAL.TBL in an attempt to fix the timing of Kasumi's melee anim.

Jump

[Go to message!](#1094412112576651314 message)

p5rpc.kasumi.animtest.7z

Download

[zealous fjord]

Another example, but I'm not sure where it's used:

It might be worth checking if there are others like that and deciding on a case by case (they might replace some new animations you made too)

The ones in yellow here are different. I've checked a few, and the patch does indeed replace some leftovers Joker's anim
AE0001_690 abd AE0001_053 are not in the patch, I grabbed them on this thread too (it's the watching DVD and interrogation animations, if i'm not mistaken) and put them here for some reason

[zealous fjord]

It's possible it's the NAME.TBL file. I had the same issue when using one of HappyGrinch mods. There's something weird with this file as it doesn't always override another NAME.TBL placed above it in the load order. Try deleting the one in the test build and keep only the one that has Cendrillon replacing Arsène in it

[open gull]

You can also use the P5 name TBL editor to customise the NAME.TBL to your own liking. It's as simple as dragging + dropping the NAME.TBL onto the exe, editing the text files in the folder then dragging + dropping the folder onto the exe to repack the TBL.
https://github.com/DeathChaos25/P5NameTBLEditor

Though if you're using the weapons + equipment mod, I'd recommend using the NAME.TBL from that instead.

[rain tangle]

Yup, that fixed it! Thank you!

[kindred comet]

Honestly there's just too many animations for me to check through

If possible a list of anims and the events they affect would go a long way

Unfortunately I can't really just replace all gaps outright since it might overwrite any edits I've made

Also you shouldn't need to combine the test build with 0.2.2

[astral chasm]

Hey, Wisteria! I had the issue with Kasumi's face when I used the update alone, but when I combined the update with version 0.22, the face was fixed!

dunno why, but it worked

[kindred comet]

i think its bcs i forgot to include the face blend animations gap

yeah i did 😓

place this in p5rpc.kasumiasprotag\Characters\Joker\1\MODEL\CHARACTER\0001 and itll be fixed

also please avoid combining the mod with 0.2.2

[astral chasm]

ok! I'll test it rn

[kindred comet]

if you did combine the mod i recommend deleting the mod and redownloading the test build, then putting that gap in the 0001 folder

[astral chasm]

yeah, it worked!

without combining

[kindred comet]

okay good

[astral chasm]

I have to admit, though, her saddy face was kind of cute lmao

[kindred comet]

im thinking of removing her weapon models and moving them to a separate mod or something, im just not sure how to fix the gun and sword disappearing and they seem to be fine with joker's weapons

but like its also weird to see her with joker's pistol and giant dagger 😭

[celest thicket]

you could try to just replace the model itself with a kasumi replacement and then have the animations carry it?

[astral chasm]

is there a pic of her having joker's dagger? hahaha

[kindred comet]

YEAH its really funny

[kindred comet]

im not rly sure since that might break it in some of sumi's animations

i did try adding the bones joker's dagger uses but couldnt get it to rig properly

[celest thicket]

I mean as long as it works the same as normal it should be fine. Mind as well test it just to see if it can work.

[open gull]

Oh! I didn't notice/realise there was an issue with that.

[mighty snow]

Just curious, how did you get the alternate models mod to work?

[velvet spoke]

i did a first 2 hour playthrough vid. I put some timestamp in description for seperating parts

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4UpuSiOAu4

other than some of the obvious bugs and stuff it's great to see this running on my end

[zealous fjord]

I had to rearrange all of the existing models in similar folders to how it's done in the test build so my models can override them. Same thing with the cutins, etc

[zealous fjord]

I made a quick test and managed to export the 2 sitting animations from the AE0001_002.GAP in Joelcula patch and import them into the one in the test build and it works. I guess it's just a matter of opening every GAP file and checking everything.
If that's all right with you @open gull , I'll try to do that for every animation in the patch (I'll only replace the Joker's animations if there's any more than that). I'll share the result here

[open gull]

Be my guest! I was planning on doing that when I get home.

[zealous fjord]

The same could be done for the animation mod you published on GameBanana, but there's a lot more files to check there. Might be a good idea the share the load on that one

[kindred comet]

Here's the 2nd test build, very minor update this just includes the face blend animations and removes some costumes I included by accident. I recommend completely deleting the old version and installing this one to prevent any issues

[astral chasm]

2nd test build worked perfectly ✅

[velvet crow]

figured another animation broken its when you are training in your room

[velvet crow]

Found missing image too when you do a home run while you are in baseball practice appear joker image

dunno if there is some image that we can use to replace that

[prime orbit]

Did Kotone's outfit disappear for anyone else or did i mess something up

[prime orbit]

I had, in fact, messed something up

[kindred comet]

I included it by accident in the last build, the model is from Ferm so it'll be added back when that publicly releases

[mighty snow]

Will you be releasing a patch of this on gamebanana after this is officially released? Also very excited for your story overhaul!

[rain tangle]

Is there any way to fix the summer uniform and clothes not being there? Not that big of an issue, bit it's weird for them to not be there.

[zealous fjord]

Yes, I'll release it when the mod is updated. I still need to make the models for the new costumes available

[mighty snow]

[zealous fjord]

So, here's my attempt at merging the animtest patch from Joelcula with the animations of the testbuild n°2. I kept the "best" animations from both (mostly, those that replaced Joker's with Kasumi's). I wrote a read_me with what each GAP file contains and what I merged together (with GFDstudio)

There's the weird stuff happening with the ribbon in the sit animations. I think it's because they are for Sumire (with the long hair) and not Kasumi? I'm not sure

[vagrant sky]

Good afternoon! (Or whatever time it is where you are!) I have some experience downloading mods for the game in the past through the mod loader, but am unsure how to download the 7zip and extract it directly to the game. Is there a folder I should look for or? If this is better for another channel, please let me know! Thanks! The mod looks amazing!

[zealous fjord]

Once you've extracted the zip into a folder (named p5rpc.kasumiasprotag for example), look for the install folder of Reloaded, go to "Mods" and put the folder inside.

It will appear in your load order after that

[vagrant sky]

Thanks! I suppose any dependencies are there, or do I need to go to the mod page and download any of those you think?

[zealous fjord]

I think you have to dowload them yourself

[kindred comet]

I think I forgot to add them I'll check in a sec

[kindred comet]

Thanks! I'll take a look at this in a bit

Btw to fix ribbon issues you have to use Kasumi sumire's animations

i forgot what gap theyre in but they should be in most of them

[rain tangle]

Ok! Would it be possible to add the midwinter outfits as well? I tried adding them myself using the method you considered earlier, but couldn't get it to work.

[kindred comet]

midwinter should already be in there

[zealous fjord]

All right, I'll try and fix them in Joelcula files too. I'm looking at the "Miscanim" patch on GB, but there's a lot more files there so it's gonna take a while

[kindred comet]

Thanks I really appreciate it

[rain tangle]

They weren't there when I last checked, along with the all the coffee brewer, hometown, incognito, etc outfits. I'll try redownloading it though.

[kindred comet]

extract this into p5rpc.kasumiasprotag\Costumes\Joker to fix the summer outfits & loungewear costumes

[kindred comet]

hmm if they still dont appear try interacting with the dlc box in the attic at leblanc

also mini poll

[short spade]

voting ponytail just because i remember atlus adding some subtle physics to the interrogation anims for it

[astral chasm]

the hair down gave it a lot of drama to the interrogation scene, I was in shock

[rain tangle]

Tried that and nothing happened sadly.

[astral chasm]

whaaaa? where

[short spade]

(as in the user atlus_west who fixed up some anims)

[kindred comet]

ill keep it as hair down then

[kindred comet]

Fixed, ty for reporting!

for future reference the cutin is in Minigame\BES_CUTIN_USUALLY.EPL

also i fixed the bounding box here so she should no longer vanish

[kindred comet]

oops

[open gull]

Huh. I thought I fixed that. Anyway, just got back home and did a fix.

And personally, I'd suggest editing the GAP files in the test build instead of the Misc Anim pack since some event anims were updated in the test build iirc.

[zealous fjord]

Nice ! For the Misc Anim pack, I'm comparing the animations in each gap files as well, but it's sometimes difficult to tell which one is the better one

[open gull]

True.

[zealous fjord]

By default, I'm trying to keep the one from the testbuild when there are no significant improvement in the MiscAnim patch. There are also some animations which seems faster or slower, so I'm going to keep the testbuild one there too just in case

@kindred comet The EMT0001.GAP in Testbuild2 has an issue where the darkened face no longer apply properly when using a Persona. I've replaced it with the one from the v0.2.2 and it works again

It difficult to screenshot, but here goes:

Test build

With the old one:

[kindred comet]

thats intentional

[zealous fjord]

Oh, i was going crazy because I spent hours to fix it on my model mod, I thought I had broken something again, aha

[kindred comet]

i forgot to mention it, sorry!!

ill probably just re-add the normal one in the actual release

i just cant stand the darkened faces, i think they look rly ugly

baked some physics for this cutscene's animations, going to look into adjusting the camera and tweaking some more anims here

[zealous fjord]

Yeah, it's a bit weird with costumes that don't have a mask too

[kindred comet]

works with skirts too if someone triggers the november version with a costume on

also i guess i need to fix the mouth being weird

[zealous fjord]

All right, here is my attempt at merging the MiscAnim Patch with TestBuild2. I kept as many TestBuild files as possible and focused on removing Joker's animations. In some cases, I kept the MiscAnim animations because they had a different animation for standing around (like holding her hands in front of her for example).
I also fixed the ribbon, except for AE0001_399.GAP. I haven't been able to find an animation of Kasumi standing up.
Also, BF0001_291.GAP in FIELD is the hideout animation for Leblanc shop (downstairs). I kept the MiscAnim one, which means the protag overlap with Sumire during the 3rd semester.
More details in the read_me.

[sonic finch]

Could the dark face removal be a toggle or made to just apply to maskless costumes somehow as a compromise? As ngl I think it looks nicer without the dark face, it'd be good to have the choice or a halfway house between...

[kindred comet]

I would do that but I'm not rly sure how to make toggles

[pallid plover]

it's straightforward but it requires you to write some code and compile it with VS or similar

[sonic finch]

Ohhh fair nuff dw then

[kindred comet]

Brawler jumpscare

I'll try looking into it eventually

[pallid plover]

it's not hard at all, there's a few guides on this server in the p3 channels bc I haven't gotten around to writing a proper guide for the modding docs yet

[zealous fjord]

It's very nice to have the fade in with Kasumi's silhouette, but do you think it's possible to remove the black part here? I find it very distracting

Ah, I think I found where it is

[kindred comet]

Sure! I'll get around to it in a sec

[zealous fjord]

I was testing an event and there were still some leftovers. They should all be fixed now (except for the one in Misc Anim where I can't find the animation)

[kindred comet]

finished

its not perfect but im happy with how it came out

also theres like 1 shot where the camera is too high up but i couldnt figure out which animation it was

[vagrant sky]

Looks great to me! Thanks for all the work you're putting in! I actually thought I was in game since I zoomed in, so I pressed c to back out lol

Wish I could help any of your guys' projects since I have some free time, but I have no idea how to help lol... I'll be messing with the modding resources and learning! I saw when I was playing with the mod earlier that sometimes the animation wouldn't play for walking when holding an umbrella during the early school rain day, so I was sliding around for a bit, was pretty hilarious lol

[kindred comet]

Has anyone seen this grappling animation in-game? I think it's unused but I'm not sure if I just missed one or not

[zealous fjord]

Maybe Futaba's palace? This shortcut in the final room?

https://www.youtube.com/live/BkNpXtXs_5Q?si=48B12s5aGWDkQ2CQ&t=2050

[kindred comet]

oh thats definitely it

thank you! i had no idea that existed

[snow aspen]

Yeah it’s Futaba’s palace I replayed it for the platinum

[kindred comet]

hmm okay so i did look into the grappling animations and i dont think im going to fix them

its really time consuming and tbh im not rly happy with how it turned out

getting the arm position correctly is v tedious

i might? bake physics for them although i have trouble with jacket physics on them

anyways im going to keep fixing the 3d cutscene animations/cameras and some other stuff like the hideout animations

[snow aspen]

Chilling to P4 music rn

[velvet crow]

the animation when you sit on the bed still is creepy dunno i you have tried to fix it?

[kindred comet]

bed animations are like that as a whole

I'll get around to them soon

[gray slate]

can anyone share their mod list and order so i can test it? :3

[rain tangle]

like a list with just the sumi as protag mods?

[gray slate]

yeah! the complete experience

and the load order in the mod manager

[rain tangle]

Ok, heres what I use.

[gray slate]

you are the BEST thank you!!!

[rain tangle]

yw! Some might not work due to not using costume framework, like the qatherine one, but it's somewhat easy to fix.

[gray slate]

i dont really need that one so its ok

[gray slate]

where can i get the cbt kasumi patch?

[rain tangle]

I believe the story overhaul mod

[gray slate]

thx

[rain tangle]

np

[kindred comet]

Looking through these now and tweaking them

the diner animations were v broken so im glad i checked

[kindred comet]

took a bit but im happy with how it turned out
left is how it originally was, right is how it is now

[kindred comet]

Just finished adding these, thank you very much for going through them and documenting them!

I'm going to make myself a mental note to come back and touch up some of the animations with skirt physics and hair keyframes

[short spade]

Sumi learning how to hold a plate, we love to see it

[zealous fjord]

By the way, I think the test build is using the old version of the battle sprite. This one should be used:

[astral chasm]

where should I put it?

found it!

Hey, @zealous fjord, do you have any idea when you'll update your alternate models for your mod? I guess you're waiting for the test build to be completed?

[zealous fjord]

I'll update it when the test build is released, since the I had to rearrange the files to work with Costume Framework.

In the meantime, if you want to do it yourself, move everything in "kasumi_as_protagonist_-alternate_models121\P5REssentials\CPK\BASE.CPK" into "kasumi_as_protag-_alternate_model121\Characters\Joker\1" and it should work with the test build for the regular models.

The DLC costumes won't work (probably) because they must be placed the "Costumes" folder and the files must be renamed for the override to work. It doable if you know which file corresponds to which costume, so it's best I do it myself and make an update. I'll also need to make models for the new costumes.

[astral chasm]

thank you so much, amigo 🫂

[kindred comet]

I'll let you guys know when the build is close to release so u can prepare updates for the addon mods

[mighty snow]

I literally just noticed that the bust up for the overworld, except for interrogation, all use the shujin winter, any plan to change that or crop out the shujin uniform?

[kindred comet]

I can't really do anything about that, sorry :/

[vagrant sky]

Not sure if this clipping issue has been patched in later test builds or if it has been mentioned before, but thought I'd post it here in case you want to get around to trying to tidy it up at any point! Not a huge deal or anything, but thought I'd add if it hasn't been noted before!

[kindred comet]

Good to know, I'll try looking into that event

I do want to note though that clipping during random events or jacket/skirt turning into cardboard likely won't be fixed since there's just so many event animations and I don't really know how to reposition the arms without nuking every other keyframe anyway

Anyways here's the new rain field animations

I never actually tested rain since I didnt have a rainy save so I didn't know she would slide around in her idle when walking

But I've fixed that + added proper phone animations

[celest thicket]

look into a blender addon called anim-aide. It lets you do stuff like repositioning joints and have it work for the entire animation.

[kindred comet]

Oh thats super super useful thank you

I've been trying to find a way to modify all keyframes without flat out overwriting them for a while now

[celest thicket]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-rFLLkycxI&t currently it only works up until 4.0 with a fix. But it's worth it.

[kindred comet]

thats okay i only use 3.5 anyway so there shouldnt be any issues

[kindred comet]

wip

[kindred comet]

done... aside from the phone animations which shouldnt be hard

its not perfect but i think im happy with how it turned out

before & after

[mighty snow]

No worries, it fits for most the game at least!

[kindred comet]

going through and fixing the smaller stuff

[pallid plover]

nice music

[zealous fjord]

Here are a some animations that could use some polish, if you want to look into it:

Kasumi/Sumire is event 722_032
Sushi is event 281_001
Haru is event 703_011

[kindred comet]

I'll make a mental note to look into those

new door anims

okay this ones weird

i dont think shes even sitting?

hard to tell without freecam

oh she is sitting

well i fixed one part of it

im not sure why shes floating before this one

[lilac needle]

I love kasumi hanging out with her bestie kasumi

[kindred comet]

[wraith juniper]

try ALT S on the bones.

Wisteria

does anyone know why this happens

Jump

[Go to message!](#p5-modding-chat message)

#p5-modding-chat

[kindred comet]

that doesnt fix it unfortunately

the bones dont even have any scaling in the animation

gfd/p5r just stretches and grows the leg bone for some reason

[celest thicket]

hmm, could I see the animation rq? I do remember this being a problem before, and fixing it without removing the rotation.

[kindred comet]

Sure

ignore her jello leg i didnt fix the thigh twist on this one yet

or well

i did

and then spent like 20 min trying to get the bone grow thing to go away

[celest thicket]

it's fine

ah, thats why it's been a long time since I had it.

[kindred comet]

how did you fix it?

[kindred comet]

oo okay i suspected it had smth to do with rotation

thanks a bunch

[celest thicket]

For some odd reason quaternion breaks it sometimes. So when I animate I usually always convert them to xyz so then stuff like this never happens.

[kindred comet]

ty!

[celest thicket]

np

[kindred comet]

btw is that a plugin or is it in blender by default?

[celest thicket]

just in defualt blender. Should be in the same place. Though i've only used 3.6 and not 3.5 so im not sure if anything changed between the versions

[kindred comet]

alright cool

[zealous fjord]

Here's a funny one : look at her eyes after shaking Mishima's hand

(no pun intended)

The same thing may be happening when shaking Akechi's hand at the TV station, but it's hard to tell because the camera's facing her back Maybe not, Akechi uses his left hand so it's probably a different animation

[lilac needle]

She reaaally doesnt like Mishima lol

[mighty snow]

She’s real for that

[lilac needle]

True

[kindred comet]

hey get back here

[kindred comet]

Billions smiled

this one wasnt super hard but im pretty sure it was using the sit animation from AE_0001

which is what a lot of events use i assume

so i just edited the evt

i could just change the sit position but im not super sure about that, idk if itll break anything

but if there are enough cases of her sit animation just being really misaligned then i might do it

[zealous fjord]

There's a few cases like that:

[kindred comet]

about how many would you say there are

[zealous fjord]

Other times, it's fine because the chair is pretty large, so she just sit on the edge but it's fine

[kindred comet]

hmm

well i suppose i could do it then

on the plus side this means there wont really be any need to do evt edits

downside is there's a lot of event animation gaps

[zealous fjord]

Well, this one for instance is fine (it's an old screenshot, the ribbon is fixed now):

I'll check if I have screenshots with weird sitting animations

[kindred comet]

hopefully that wont get messed up 😅

it shouldnt if joker's sit anim doesnt clip there

Anyways here's the new test build!

CHANGELOG (v0.9.2):

• Merged event and field anims from Zyvlos/Count
• Edited Kasumi's (the party member one) prologue cutscene to fix the camera and baked physics
• Edited the loading wipe to make it less distracting
• Fixed summer & loungewear costumes
• Fixed batting cage animations disappearing
• Added daily life protag cutin (batting cage/darts)
• Tweaked the accessway hideout animations
• Added proper animations for the May resturant celebration field
• Added the party panel fix by Adam
• Fixed the Rain field animations
• Metaverse field animation edits, like when banging against a locked door, unlocking a door, and opening a chest without a lock
• Re-added Kotone's Uniform with the updated model from Mudkip's ferm femc addon
• Daily life Field animation edits (like when passing a gate in Shibuya's subway, going up the stairs in leblanc, and exiting a train)

next build will contain the sitting animations repositioned

oh and I did edit the grappling hook anim that plays after fighting the charge spam heavenly punisher in kamoshida's palace but im probably going to redo it later bcs i dont like it LMao

[lilac needle]

[astral chasm]

thanks for all the hard work, guys!

[kindred comet]

well it did kinda fix that one, still not perfect but better at least

[short spade]

you're killing it lately wisteria, awesome stuff

[kindred comet]

tysm!!

[kindred comet]

Super small update, I adjusted the sit animation position and edited some event gaps to use sumi's animations

I can't really test how the sit anim change affects the game overall so I'd really appreciate any screenshots or reports if she's floating and if she snaps positions

[gray slate]

question!! does the "ponytail" dialogue change come with this mod or a different one??

[kindred comet]

i think it comes with one of the story overhaul mods

i havent made any text edits on the main mod

[gray slate]

do you know which one? if not, np, ill find it

[kindred comet]

I'm not sure but I think it might be this one? https://gamebanana.com/wips/77321

[gray slate]

ty! :) and good job fixing the animations!!!

[kindred comet]

yw and ty!!!!

[zealous fjord]

I'll test it with the events I have screenshots of to see if everything's fine. I have a bunch of them, but they are a bit all over the place among all the screenshots.

[zealous fjord]

It's actually a mod I'm working here. I have a lot of screenshots of it because I'm testing and polishing it, so avoiding showing my dialog changes is a bit complicated. It's not released yet, but you can use the mod Wisteria linked (I used it as a basis for my mod). https://gamebanana.com/wips/88857

[gray slate]

oh YOU'RE doing that mod??? i saw that one and REALLY LIKED IT!!

im Jennasaurus XD

[zealous fjord]

Glad you liked it! And having updated animations is going to make it so much better 🙂

[kindred comet]

awesome ty!

also is the sumire model in your mod using a physics chunk for her hair?

[zealous fjord]

They're from https://gamebanana.com/mods/415823

[kindred comet]

okay yay she does have it

actually its on her model by default i guess i forgor

[zealous fjord]

Yeah, I think they just swap her hair on all her models

[kindred comet]

they do + add hair physics with a physics chunk i think

[open gull]

Oh yeah, here are Haru's gardening anims retargeted for Sumi. No physics, mindya, but I'll figure out how to do that at some point.

[kindred comet]

ty! i can look into that soon

i forgot gardening is even in p5r 😭

[gray slate]

honestly same

[kindred comet]

weird, im trying to use cbt's sumire costumes on protag sumi and the phantom suit alt keeps softlocking during battles

no idea why

[open gull]

Replaced one of the gym anims so it uses Sumi's "getting up" anim instead of Joker's.

[kindred comet]

oh by the way is it in the same position/location as joker's?

[open gull]

Yep.

[kindred comet]

okay perfect

[tiny storm]

popping in to say, thank you so much for the hard work guys! Having a blast on my new playthrough with this mod

[velvet crow]

Another weird sitting animation

[celest thicket]

it's cause it's using jokers sitting animation

[zealous fjord]

So I've tested the sitting animations on a bunch of events and it works perfectly everytime! Great job!
This one is not fixed (all the others at the sushi are working fine):

This one is fine for the first part (after sitting down), but she will move forward after some time. I think it's when Joker grabs the coffee cup.

Not very noticeable on screenshots now that I think about it. It's when deciding the PT name (E183_001)

To keep them on record, the following still uses some Joker animations:

• Sitting animations during Takemi social link (As showed by Barquillo)
• Sitting animations during Ohya social link
• Sitting animations during Kasumi rank 1 (some parts still use Joker's anim)

[zealous fjord]

She's sliding forward here as well. Maybe the stretching animation needs to have its position edited too

[kindred comet]

unfortunately its just a matter of tracking down the straggler gap files

thank you for the screenshots it should make this a lot easier ^^

also i did want to fix up the massage animations anyway so this isnt too bad

by the way are you planning to have any custom events in your story overhaul mod?

[zealous fjord]

Not for the first release at least. I saw that there are tool like the EVTUI, but I want to focus on what's currently in the game first

[kindred comet]

makes sense

[zealous fjord]

I'll look into it after, like for adding new romances or even Sumire events

[kindred comet]

well if you do want custom events i wouldnt mind offering to help make them once im done with the first release for the main mod here

[zealous fjord]

Thank you! That's be great, yeah

[kindred comet]

yay! im really intrigued by the screenshots on the wip so im super happy to help

[zealous fjord]

And I'm very glad that you're working on updating the animations. Sometimes, it just comes together perfectly

[gray slate]

new romances, you say???

[mighty snow]

Since you're removing adult romance, if possible, are you making literally every phantom thief (besides Sumire) and Hifumi romance options?

[kindred comet]

can anyone test the crow showtime for me? it keeps softlocking my game and im not sure why

actually nvm

its an issue with my game

[kindred comet]

update on this, i got her sword to fully appear

but im still having trouble with the sword not disappearing

i think if i just delete the pre-existing bones it should work

or maybe if i parent them under wp_scale idk

[open gull]

Outta curiosity, how are you editing the showtime? Asking cuz I'm hoping to edit Sumi's showtime to work with Joker as a party member. (swapping the anims works fine. Its just getting the zipline/other objects to appear on the right characters that's the issue.)

[kindred comet]

im just editing the animation

idk what spawns the grappling hook or weapons

truth be told i have no idea how showtimes are even handled

[open gull]

Ah ok, thx!

[kindred comet]

also ill look at the gaps u sent me in a bit

i got super distracted by this sword thing 😭

[open gull]

All good, no pressure!

[kindred comet]

okay well i did get the sword to appear but i wasnt paying attention, the sword always appears and never disappears like it should

im just gonna try the other thing i was doing and import it over joker's dagger

need to fix the weights but it did end up showing up and disappearing when it should

no idea how these bones work

[kindred comet]

hooray!

CROW LOCK IN

OH and this also means her sword appears in the solo victory animation (i forogt this existed)

[zealous fjord]

Not for the first release, but I'll look into it after that. It's a bit more complicated than just editing existing dialogs or adding a romance flag since new events are needed (for Hawaii, Christmas, etc.). I can't promise anything for now, but I'll definitely look into it

[kindred comet]

forgot to include her ultimate weapon for some reason

so here it is over joker's dagger

i need to tweak the sword trail material but it works just like the dagger blur

also i probably need to fix her weapon glowing? but like i kinda like it i think it fits the ultimate weapon

ideally though it would only appear when the trail appears

but idk what even got the trail to work

in any case im going to add it for the normal sword too

okay well its kinda buggy so i probably wont add it to the normal sword

ill keep it on the ultimate sword bcs it took me forever and it fits the look

honestly this is probably as good as it'll get since idk how to edit the sword trail animation anyway

[zealous fjord]

In this event too, the sitting animation need to be repositioned when she moves her arm around after answering or she slides forward

It's Maruki last rank

Also, a side effect of having the flashbacks in Characters\Joker\1\TEX is that I'll need to do the same in my story overhaul. Currently, mine are in a BASE.CPK folder and they're not being played. Not a big issue, but I wonder if that means I'll need to have Costume Framework as a dependency for the story mod (which should be fine anyway, because KasumiAsProtag will be a dependency)

There are also one or two flashbacks in the EN.CPK of the vanilla game, weirdly enough. I guess they won't be affected, so they'll need to remain them in my mod

This one also needs repositioning, but I don't think it's too noticeable

[kindred comet]

try setting CF as a dependency

[kindred comet]

would you be willing to import over the affected gaps and then send them over here?

i kinda have a lot to do rn but if not then i can do it at some later point

you should be able to grab the ganms from AE0001_001 & BE0001_001

AE contains the phone sitting animations and BE contains the rest of the sitting anims

and you can use cri file system's print file registration config option to see when a file gets accessed

either that or just check the evt json i guess

[mighty snow]

As long as Akechi is possibly romanced, I’ll love it. lol

I’m just joking, hope you do considerate it!!

[kindred comet]

adjusted her skirt a bit

ill add hair physics/ribbon physics in a sec

[open gull]

Looks good!

[kindred comet]

Wish they played the animations when you actually garden, oh well

[lilac needle]

Anyone mention this yet?

[kindred comet]

wth

[lilac needle]

They're all gone during the entire thing lol

[kindred comet]

wait since when did they have the rooftop as the kaneshiro hideout

or did they change it after kaneshiro

idr

[open gull]

I think that anim plays during Haru's confidant.

[lilac needle]

Im pretty sure it can be used as a hideout when you're deciding to send the calling card while at school

[kindred comet]

huh

i never knew that

i thought the rooftop was locked off or something

anyways can you send your save over?

[lilac needle]

I can tryyy

How do i do that?

[celest thicket]

it's leblanc for kaneshiro iirc

[lilac needle]

Nah

[kindred comet]

Yep!

ignore the planter being gone 😭

[lilac needle]

Leblanc becomes the hideout after or during Futaba's palace i think?

[kindred comet]

Hold the windows button and the R button until a Run window comes up, then paste %appdata%\SEGA\P5R\Steam in and press ok

There should be a folder with a lot of numbers

[celest thicket]

pretty sure it's accessway actually

[kindred comet]

open that then go to save data

[lilac needle]

Ooooo

[kindred comet]

then zip up the save slot you're on and send it here

or you can just open the save slot folder and upload the data.dat here

[lilac needle]

Awh man i did an oopsie

I sent the calling card and saved in Leblanc after so idk if you can repeat using the Rooftop as a hideout

[kindred comet]

thats okay

try sending it over regardless

i might be able to use mod menu to repeat the day

[lilac needle]

Alrightyy

[celest thicket]

either way iirc it should just play the specified hideout animation. Cause I highly doubt it's dynamic like that.

[kindred comet]

do the characters at least appear during the kamoshida arc up there?

yeah idk whats up with that

if it was just sumi then it would be a bounding box issue

but all of them disappearing is weird

[lilac needle]

I think thats the right one?

[kindred comet]

ty! ill test it rn

[lilac needle]

They appear all the time up until that point lol

[kindred comet]

ill check and see if they appear there on vanilla too

[short spade]

i'm sure the rooftop is meant to be inaccessible after the hideout changes no? that's wild

[kindred comet]

yeah i thought the same

bcs makoto locks it off

i think right before arc 2? idr

[short spade]

could maybe be another mod at work there

[kindred comet]

thats what im thinking but idk

[pallid plover]

L Makoto moment

[celest thicket]

yeah can you show your modlist?

[kindred comet]

i do wish they had more hideout locations before moving everything to leblanc

lunchtime jumpscare ⭕

[lilac needle]

After choosing to send the calling card the hideout becomes the accessway again

[kindred comet]

i wonder if thats just flat out a p5r bug

hmm

well morgana says its locked so idk

[lilac needle]

Hmmm

[kindred comet]

ill try just going to the next day

[lilac needle]

I think i spoke to Ryuji and he then said we should go to the hideout but i can't remember if he said the roof

[kindred comet]

and if it still doesnt work ill just teleport to the end of kaneshiro's palace

[lilac needle]

Alrightoo

[kindred comet]

oh

lemme see if i have a kaneshiro save downloaded

unfortunately i dont

well i do but its

during the heist for some reason??

[lilac needle]

Oops

Thats the Oopsi i meant

Sorryyy

[kindred comet]

i wish the person who made this just saved before sending the calling card since theres other palaces in here that are on heist day

no you're okay!! im talking abt a diff save file collection

[celest thicket]

definitely accessway

[short spade]

yeah i'd be very surprised if that had anything to do with this mod

[kindred comet]

well i dont think you can test it just by playing the events

[celest thicket]

the context

[kindred comet]

im pretty sure you need an actual save file thats gotten up to the kaneshiro palace

unfortunately i just

dont have any

[short spade]

wait i think i have one actually if it just needs to be before calling card

[kindred comet]

and this one is heist day

[celest thicket]

makoto is there and he's talking about sending a calling card to him. Which can't be futaba

[kindred comet]

yeah if u can send that that'll be great

[celest thicket]

you could just look up a playthrough on youtube

[kindred comet]

issue is i dont think ive seen anyone go to the rooftop though

[celest thicket]

then it's a bug with whatever happened to their game

[kindred comet]

and trying to find anything in a p5r youtube video is like finding a needle in a haystack, there's a lot of hours of content to go skim through

i mean idk for sure

id like to test it for myself just to see

times like these make me wish p5r had a rewind feature like reload

[kindred comet]

yeah, the hideout is the accessway after kamoshida iirc

[celest thicket]

look at the top right

[kindred comet]

what about it

it doesnt really... prove anything?

[celest thicket]

this is before you steal his heart

[kindred comet]

bcs the rooftop could still be available
