(P5R PC) Kasumi as Protagonist

[celest thicket]

you can't have 2 hideouts. Thats just how the game is coded

[kindred comet]

like if this isnt a mod thing then i assume both hideouts are available by accident

[short spade]

we'd need to see someone actually try going to the rooftop from the school

i think is what wisty wants to see

[kindred comet]

yeah im pretty sure its a bug

but clearly they have access to the rooftop there

[celest thicket]

no like I spent a lot of time messing with hideouts. You genuinely can't have 2

[kindred comet]

anyways i just want to test it

[celest thicket]

because it's governed by flags

[kindred comet]

im not rly interested in whether or not its possible, i just want to check to make sure

[celest thicket]

those are one in the same in this case

[kindred comet]

[short spade]

on my save thats half way through the palace

i'll grab the save if you still want to see yourself

[kindred comet]

can you send that over?

[short spade]

sure thing

[kindred comet]

ty!

[short spade]

i think that's the right one

[kindred comet]

thanks ill give it a test rn

[short spade]

my uneducated guess is just some other mod was letting them access the rooftop when they shouldn't be able to when the hideout is set to accessway, so it wasnt playing the right anims (or something to that effect)

[kindred comet]

im just surprised they even got up there

yeah i warped to the end of the palace and checked on the next day before sending the card

rooftop is locked

[short spade]

they said they spoke to ryuji and got teleported there, maybe something that edits dialogue or events messed up? very strange

[kindred comet]

@lilac needle im not sure how but i think something borked your game

what mods are you using?

[lilac needle]

Maybe the cut lunchtime interactions mod?

[kindred comet]

could you send over your modlist?

[lilac needle]

It's the only one i have that would really influence the school i thinj

[lilac needle]

One sec

[kindred comet]

also did you speak to ryuji in the overworld?

[lilac needle]

Mhmm

[celest thicket]

I think we need to kill atlus

[kindred comet]

[lilac needle]

It'll be enough to just send screenshots of my list right

[kindred comet]

yeah!

[lilac needle]

It's kinda lots of junk

[kindred comet]

its okay! one of them has to be causing it

[kindred comet]

ty! ill look into some of them

if i find out which one it is ill try reporting it to the mod creator

[lilac needle]

Okidoki

[lilac needle]

Ok so i just found out something interesting

It's definitely one of these mods thats causing this

Cuz it's not just during Kaneshiro's palace, but legit anytime i try to get to the hideout by talking to someone on the overworld

It even softlocked my game rn lmao

[celest thicket]

you have the little console that pops up when you start p5r right?

could you do this for me rq. Then restart p5r

[lilac needle]

I already found out which mod was causing the problem lol it was the Lunchtime hangouts one

[celest thicket]

oh i see

[lilac needle]

I disabled it and now everything works fine

Sorry for causing a stir

[celest thicket]

it's okay

[open gull]

Hey, we wouldn't know about these issues unless someone causes a stir. It's cool.

I've had my fair share of slightly embarrassing moments in #1045463242765504552 where I've brought up issues with deceptively simple solutions on my part.

[kindred comet]

new sumi animations for the transformation part thanks to Count Joecula!

whoops??

im surprised it even opened the game

[snow aspen]

Funny question but are you using the mod menu?

[kindred comet]

yeah

since zmenu doesnt work on 1.4

[kindred comet]

i have no idea why the cup is floating but

actually i found out why

[gray slate]

"cheers" 😭

[snow aspen]

She has the force I knew it

Also ponytail Haru is peak

[kindred comet]

this is super janky but it took me so long to do this so i can live with it

also im never adjusting an item's position again unless its tied to one of the bones in her armature

it looks smoother in blender im not sure why it jumps around a bit but umm

😁

[kindred comet]

yaldy stuff

i have to adjust the wounded/falling down animation on the take the world cutscene but it works surprisingly well like im shocked

[zealous fjord]

That took me waaaay more time than I dare to admit, but here's the fixed GAP for the Maruki event (it was animation 2). I looked into the json since the print from cri wasn't telling me at all what animation was being played. I tested it and it works

I'm going to look into the other event

[kindred comet]

Thanks so much! I'm going to add that right now

[zealous fjord]

And the second fixed GAP, for the story event:

I've tested it and it works

[cyan sun]

I've encountered a bug during a part of the ||holy grail|| fight where the mod causes the game to endlessly load

[kindred comet]

which part of the grail fight?

[rain tangle]

oh I've heard of that one, it's caused by the story overhaul

it happens after the first part of the first grail fight in the depths

[cyan sun]

I’ll try disabling that

[rain tangle]

That's usually what I do, so I'm sure that'll fix it

Make sure to disable any patches that are addons to that mod too like the CBT patch for example

[prime orbit]

oh

I had the same issue, i ended up skipping the fight

[snow aspen]

You can do that?

[prime orbit]

I used mod menu

[kindred comet]

Added, ty!

added the other one too

[zealous fjord]

It's the story overhaul that's causing this. The BMD files for this event has 0 kb et so you get softlocked

The file is E449_001.BMD

In \kasumi_as_protagonist-_story_overhaul03_7a58c\P5REssentials\CPK\EN.CPK\EVENT_DATA\MESSAGE\E400

Delete it and it should work

[zealous fjord]

Looking great!

[cyan sun]

Yeah that fixed it thanks

[zealous fjord]

I'm currently playtesting the aftermath of the interrogation, when the game bombards you flashbacks to explain everything. In particular, there's only one event in the game where Futaba, Morgana and Joker discuss wiretapping Akechi's phone, so you can only get one screenshot here...
Unless you think a bit outside the box! There are other events in the game with those three characters, and one in particular where Futaba sleeps. I also had to edit the animation just for it.

@kindred comet I made them for my story overhaul, so I might as well do them for the main mod too. Here you go!

(Two are identical on purpose, it's like that already with Joker)

[zealous fjord]

So, I fixed a whole bunch of sitting animations during the reunion at Leblanc after Sae saves the protag. It is split in many, many events, but I managed to find them all

All tested and all should work

Before:

[kindred comet]

Thank you so much, and thank you for the sitting fixes!

[astral chasm]

amazing work!! and so happy to see the progress, thanks for that

[kindred comet]

hii, new test build! this is a smaller build than the last but i figured i would post it anyway
Changelog:

• Fixed Sumi's sword incorrectly appearing/disappearing, added ultimate weapon (the trail is buggy)
• More event anim fixes, including fixes for grail, yaldabaoth (before satanael cutscene), gardening, velvet execution, Maruki rank 10, and a minor anim fix when drinking coffee during Haru's SL
• Added some new flashbacks (ty Zyvlos!) and edited various ones to reflect her correct casual winter outfit

[stray sigil]

How did I not know of this mod before!

Also, I downloaded the GameBanana mod, but I think it's a very old release

How do I update to the new test build?

nvm, figured out

Thanks for your hard work with this mod!

[kindred comet]

Hopefully this gets rid of (most) of the clipping in this cutscene

[stray sigil]

Maybe there's burried treasure she's trying to reach

[mighty snow]

Kinda works since they are fading away lol!😭😭

[rain tangle]

Hey Wisteria, would you mind sending screenshots of your load order? I cannot figure out why the custom bonus tweaks outfits aren't being added for the life of me, and I've tried everything I can think of atp.

[kindred comet]

They don't work bcs they're Joker outfits, theyre not set to slot 1

[rain tangle]

ooooh, okay

[kindred comet]

Install this and place it at the bottom of your modlist and the costumes should appear again

[rain tangle]

Ok, thank you!

[kindred comet]

You're welcome!

[rain tangle]

Im guessing the regular midwinter outfits and stuff with her hair up don't work, or do they since you can get them from sumis cbt costume folder?

Never mind I fixed it lol

However, the stuff like the prison uniform, and incognito clothes still use Jokers models so they obviously don't work

[kindred comet]

Oh right make sure to delete those or replace them with the incognito/prison outfit from protag sumi

[rain tangle]

Ok!

[kindred comet]

Those ones shouldn't be using Joker's anyway since the CBT patch just moves CBT Sumire's costumes to Joker slot 1

So if all else fails try completely deleting protag sumi and reinstalling the latest test build

[rain tangle]

I'm a bit confused, I got the coffee brewer clothes to work, but nothing else is and I've got no idea how I did it

[rain tangle]

never mind again lol, I did it 😭

[kindred comet]

Fixed most of the clipping when sleeping

Will also adjust her eyelids so they're closed

There's still some clipping but its good enough

[kindred comet]

LMAO

[snow aspen]

Those dreams are CRAZY

[open gull]

She must've had one too many bentos before bed.

[snow aspen]

Very true

[tiny storm]

Oh I’m curious, what last name are you guys giving your mc?

Since yoshizawa is too long 😦

[cyan sun]

I shortened it to yoshiza

[kindred comet]

new spaceship animations

[short spade]

that’s so clean

[kindred comet]

tyy!!

finally addressing these (ignore the buggy sword trail, im going to remove that)

ill try tweaking the animation where she picks it up

hopefully the will seed is just using the hand motion bone

[sonic finch]

I'm just naming her Rae Taylor

Yoshiza is probably the closest to canon you'll get tho

[astral chasm]

Minako Arisato lmaoooo

[kindred comet]

working on will seed animations rn

i have to raise her entire model up into the air for her arm to be aligned properly

thankfully the will animation camera is perfect and completely hides that

[lilac needle]

[vagrant sky]

I haven't looked into this or anything, but I presume that the name length is pretty hardcoded into the game and would cause a lot of issues if it was tried to be modified or? I can see text lines being affected most likely and pushing words out of text boxes accidentally, but I'm not sure whether it would have any other impact if that were tried?

[kindred comet]

not sure if its hardcoded but it would probably cause some issues with text overflowing out of dialogue boxes in some cases

this took me a while and its not perfect but i think its good enough and a major improvement over it floating rly high above her hand

[vagrant sky]

I love that the door was opened from the opposite side lol

[kindred comet]

[vagrant sky]

I just met Takemi for the first time and it immediately jumped to her first rankup for some reason? I have the story overhaul for Kasumi, I bet that's the reason but thought I'd throw in here just in case! I doubt it's the model changes and stuff I would assume because that wouldn't change around the timings of events or?

[kindred comet]

there aren't any event or flowscript edits included with this mod so its a different mod thats causing that

[vagrant sky]

Also, I used Cheat Engine and tables to manually add an a to the end of the last name, thus I now have Yoshizawa as my last name! So far so good, but I'm sure I'll run into some text box issues at some point. Looks like in the addresses for the names, they left space between last and first names enough for 2 extra characters before you would overwrite the first name.

[snow aspen]

That you press down on the D-pad and say no cuz you start it you’ll get softlocked

I had that happen too

[vagrant sky]

Uh oh. I gotta reload I guess lol. Thanks for the heads up!

[tiny storm]

Oh it’s possible?? Damn I’ll have to research how. It doesn’t glitch or anything?

[vagrant sky]

So far I haven't noticed anything, but if you don't save, it will revert back afterwards. I haven't exited yet, so unsure if it will save it after exiting as well or not. Took me a bit to figure out but if you want to dm me or anything like that I can show you what I did, just let me know!

[zealous fjord]

It's the story overhaul again. Some files for Takemi and Haru have compiling issues. I made a fix for those files on their discord. Let me see if I can transfer them here

Put them in kasumi_asprotagonist-_story_overhaul03_7a58c\P5REssentials\CPK\EN.CPK\FIELD\NPC

[astral chasm]

hey, Zylvos! can we have access to your story overhaul discord?

[zealous fjord]

Sorry, I don't have a discord server for my mod. I've been working all alone on it (more or less these days), so I only have the Gamebanana page for progress reports.
I really don't want to manage a discord server. I'll probably make a thread on this server here to collect feedback when the mod releases though.

[astral chasm]

oh, got it! thanksss

[vagrant sky]

Thanks for the help!

[zealous fjord]

Another sitting animation fixed in event 401_003. Before / After :

[zealous fjord]

I also made a fix for the sitting animation when watching a DVD. I couldn't find the animation where she closes her fist, so I put the one where passes her hand in her hair instead.
Before :

After:

[pallid plover]

you could make a thread rn if you wanted! but coordinating here is a pretty good idea too given how intertwined the mods are lol

[snow aspen]

How does the cat sit like that

[astral chasm]

yeah, I'm willing to help however I can

[prime orbit]

He's chill like that

[kindred comet]

yeah to be honest I'm not sure where the fist one is from 😭

thanks for bringing this to my attention though I do want to keep the fist animation so I'll just reposition it and add the 002 one you sent earlier

[zealous fjord]

Fine by me! I also replaced the default sitting animation (animation 0 in the GAP) since it wasn't properly positioned too

[zealous fjord]

I'd rather make a separate thread, or else it's going make Wisteria's job much harder if they can't find messages relevant to the models or the animations. I'll make the thread at some point, but not right now. It gives me more space to work without worrying about answering questions or suggestions.

At any rate, helping Wisteria with fixing the animations is also helping my mod be a better experience. Fixing those sitting animations is actually easy so that's how I try to contribute.

[kindred comet]

Yeah I think that would be ideal, but I don't mind it being used here for the time being

next goal for now is to fix the anims in this cutscene

her face gets super super broken so im going to try and (hopefully) fix that as well

[open gull]

Did a vanilla 'Sumi edit of the bustups from Zylvos' Alternate Models mod with the author's blessing. To use them, just extract the files into p5rpc.kasumiasprotag\Characters\Joker\1\FONT\SELECT.

[kindred comet]

Oh those look super nice actually

Also does the velvet room use a separate bust-up? I guess I just never noticed

[open gull]

I think it does on account of Joker not wearing glasses in there.

[kindred comet]

I'm finding new things out about this game to this day 😅

@zealous fjord would you be okay with me using/editing some of these and putting them in the main mod? I'll credit as usual ofc

[kindred comet]

progress update on this: I didn't actually do much editing today but I did retarget jokers jacket physics for sumi's jacket and also baked some skirt animations

and I just deleted the physics chunk from the cutscene this model uses (it's cutscene only tmk so it shouldn't affect anything else) since physics break here

that being said I'm not sure how to address scenarios where the player has a costume on

I would like to force it to use the phantom suit cutscene model but I'm not sure if that would work with cbt

[open gull]

Oh yeah, here's Violet's party menu artwork, edited to say "leader" instead of "party". To install, you just have to extract the CAMP folder inside the zip to p5rpc.kasumiasprotag\P5REssentials\CPK\BASE.CPK

[kindred comet]

Oh that's a really good catch, mind if I put it in the main mod?

[open gull]

Please do!

[kindred comet]

will do

[zealous fjord]

Sure!

[astral chasm]

Guys, would it be possible to replace Joker's image in the confidants with this one of Kasumi (but flipped)? 😮

[kindred comet]

Thank you!

[kindred comet]

At the moment probably not, pause menu art as a whole will probably remain untouched for a while

[astral chasm]

Oh, I see! My question was more to understand if it's something possible, especially since many mods don't really work on that much. Thanks, Wisteria!

[manic cedar]

im working on those. I had to pause due to life stuff, but I'll get back to them at some point

one of the examples I had

[manic cedar]

so yeah, it is possible. Still have many of them to do, but whenever im free ill get to them. Hopefully.

[kindred comet]

oh my god that looks amazing!!

if you do end up finishing them i would be more than happy to include them in the mod ^^

[manic cedar]

with pleasure

ill drop the files here whenever im fully done

will take a while cause there are a lot of stuff

[kindred comet]

tyt!! dw abt it

[manic cedar]

but hopefully it'll be done before the next update

🤙

[kindred comet]

have to reposition her arm (idk if i will) and edit the rest of the blend anims but its much better now (left is old, right is new)

using a costume will likely break her hair and other things that use physics and there isnt much i can do about that, just try to avoid using a costume here if you care to

[kindred comet]

okay, i did address the costume thing

this will be (hopefully) the only event that forces the phantom suit when using cbt

i just edited the evt to use a newly duplicated model

for anyone curious the model is C0001_206_04.GMD, if you want you can replace it but i recommend nuking any physics chunks (or tweaking them) so her hair doesnt go flying up

[gray slate]

i have a question! overall, how much progress would you say you’ve made? percentage wise

[lilac needle]

Lmao forehead

[kindred comet]

i love your ddlc pfp! and overall im not sure since im not good with keeping track of progress with percent but its close to being done

i just want to edit all the cutscene animations and maybe some of the grappling hook ones

[mighty snow]

this is beautiful!! great work! hope you can continue soon

[gray slate]

awesome! cuz with your permission i’d like to eventually do a playthru for my youtube channel with your mod :)

[kindred comet]

you have my full permission!

btw anyone can make videos on my mods without my permission, i dont mind

ideally once this is released im going to allow anyone to use or modify assets from this mod in any other mod unless its like nsfw or something

[pallid plover]

you should be able to do that with your license so just keep that in mind when you release it

[snow aspen]

You’re a legend 🫡

[open gull]

Found some P5X assets on tumblr which could come in handy.
https://p5x-theories.tumblr.com/post/770263760890970112/violet-assets-from-version-31s-files

[open gull]

Tried swapping the mask texture on the menus. Violet's mask is a fair bit bigger than Joker's so its not perfect (the bottom of the texture clips somewhat and the one used when viewing a persona is squished to fit on the texture file) but its something.
This just goes in p5rpc.kasumiasprotag\Characters\Joker\1\INIT

[snow aspen]

Looks cool tho

[zealous fjord]

That looks great though

[kindred comet]

been wanting to do this one for a while, the wind was fun to do :P

[kindred comet]

Admittedly I thought the 3rd screenshot looked odd until I checked ingame and realized joker's mask is there and is that big

That looks really good though

I'll try tweaking it to get rid of the cutoff

i should also probably make this mod compatible with spd merging 😅

[open gull]

On the fence on whether to make the mask in the 3rd screenshot just a bit smaller.
Ideally I'd want to move the mask in the second screenshot up to line it up with the selected persona but I dunno how to do that.

[kindred comet]

@open gull what dds format did you use for the sprite sheets

i tried editing and replacing them and my game keeps crashing for some reason

[open gull]

These are the settings I use for exporting them.

[kindred comet]

hmm

i guess its a nvidia texture tools issue then

also what do you think of this?

[open gull]

Niiice!

How'd you do that?

[kindred comet]

slightly resized one of the masks and edited the spd to change the sprite's height

i used personaeditor for the spd editor since it visualizes the sprite boxes

[open gull]

Ah alright!

[kindred comet]

this is how joker's mask looks

i think it looks good as is rn, i dont think the mask needs to be resized

ill try making the spds support merging in a bit

[kindred comet]

okay nice it seemed to work

[snow aspen]

That kitty cat is holding for dear life

[open gull]

Adjusted the mask on the persona screen so its no longer squished.

[kindred comet]

which texture is the mask from?

oh by the way there's more joker masks in the velvet room spds

although i would hold off on doing these until i release the new test build (in just a sec)

since im going to be using spd emulator from now on

[open gull]

It's from P5X. Found it posted on tumblr.
https://p5x-theories.tumblr.com/post/770263760890970112/violet-assets-from-version-31s-files

[kindred comet]

Ooh interesting

New test build!
Changelog (v0.9.4):

• All SPDs make use of SPD Emulator now, you can find them in Characters\Joker\1\FEmulator\SPD\
• Fixed exam animation bounding box (sumi should no longer disappear)
• Adjusted the bed animations
• Adjusted metaverse kick, mementos stamp, spaceship airlock, will seed, locked chest, and (jank) Jose animations
• Adjusted Sumire's showtime animation, now has baked physics for protag sumi & her position has been adjusted
• Adjusted the final Maruki 3d cutscene animations, also now forces the phantom suit to prevent physics from causing issues
• Adjusted the cognitive wakaba 3d cutscene animations
• Swapped Joker's bedtime boots model out for Sumi's red school shoes (they should appear on the floor in certain bed cutscenes)
• Even more sit fixes from Zyvlos!
• Camp WANTED texture fix & Violet's mask icon from Count
• Hid the buggy sword trail from the ultimate sword weapon model (replaces Paradise Lost dagger)

From now on, SPDs should use SPD Emulator. Please follow these guides when making SPDs
https://sewer56.dev/p5rpc.modloader/usage/#example-spd-in-archive
https://github.com/Secre-C/FileEmulationFramework/blob/main/docs/emulators/spd.md

PersonaSpriteTools is a quick and easy way to extract the DDS and spdspr files needed for SPD emulator. I would recommend using it but note that DDS files seem to extract with mipmaps so you may have to re-export the DDS to get rid of them. It's not super noticeable but in some cases the textures will be lower res due to mips

This does mean EPIC party panel should be compatible now, although protag Sumi will still use her vanilla sprite

[rain tangle]

Heyo! Not sure if this would be possible or not, but could the models for Jokers mask when fusing personas, taking it off right before the Shido fight, and then when it dissapears in the final Maruki fist fight, be replaced with Sumis?

[zealous fjord]

Well, that's it : I have no choice but to edit the white of the eyes in my models. Kasumi's eyes have a different shape so it's not working too well here in cutscenes

[prime orbit]

This looks soo good!!!

[kindred comet]

Is it just an issue in cutscenes?

If so editing the blend animations should be enough

[zealous fjord]

Yeah, but I think it's more of a model issue here

The eyes are very different

Kasumi / Sumire

[kindred comet]

This should be possible and (hopefully) easy to do I just don't know where all of the mask models are

[kindred comet]

oh yeah huh

[zealous fjord]

I'm currently fusing the center from Sumire's eyes with the border from Kasumi's

[wind mural]

just popping in to say thank you for all the Kasumi model work you’re doing alongside Wisteria’s hard work ❤️ so excited for your story overhaul for the sisters to be released and just in general a fan of the work you’re doing to give Kasumi her own little revival within the story

[zealous fjord]

Thanks! I hope you'll like it!

And IT WORKS

[sonic finch]

Actually tbh is the text editor too hard to use?
Wondering if when the mod comes out, since Arsene doesn't have many lines, whether I could use some spare time to make an addon to marry up the Cendrillon patch to the story

I'd have to find said Arsene lines, and maaaybe some of the Odaiba palace lines (just to reference "wait her persona looks like yours" but I think it'd be a fun little addition for people like me who wanna use Cendy

Already thinking about the ||battle with Berserk Cendrillon, her having lines like "How dare you use that pauper form in front of me, it's not midnight yet...!"||

[zealous fjord]

It's not hard, but you need to use the right tools to do it or you'll get bugs/softlocks/crashes. BMDs can be edited by decompiling them with AtlusScriptCompiler, editing the msg file and recompiling with the same tool

The only reliable way to edit BF files without risking a compilation error is PersonaEditor

[sonic finch]

Ooo okay
I heard Shrinefox has a guide somewhere on text editing?
Maybe that's something I play around with this weekend, download PersonaEditor and try and get comfy using it

[zealous fjord]

But PersonaEditor gets rid of "é", "è", "ï", etc

[sonic finch]

Ahhhh I see the problem

[zealous fjord]

There's this guide

https://gamebanana.com/tuts/15363

[sonic finch]

https://tenor.com/view/anya-forger-anya-spy-x-family-anime-salute-salute-gif-okey-dokey-gif-25700022

[zealous fjord]

As for Arsène, he has somes lines in BMD files during the protagonist awakening. The rest (including Cendrillon's) are in BF files if I remember correctly

Well, maybe Kasumi's awakening is also in a BMD

You can also edit BMDs with PersonaEditor btw

[sonic finch]

I thiiink Kasumi's awakening one might be okay staying the same, I'll rewatch to be sure, but the protagonist awakening would probably warrant different lines

I'll toy around with it, I can see the guide linked covers both

[zealous fjord]

If you want to get comfortable with, try decompiling a BMD (with the help of the guide) and looking at the msg. It's much more understandable than what PersonaEditor shows

(Left: PersonaEditor ; Right: Decompiled BMD)

And my eye edit fixed the interrogation cutscene. It should work with all cutscene edits now, yaaaay
Before/After :

[sonic finch]

Ooooh, okay
So I can crack the decompiled one open in just any simple IDE or text editor so it's easier to actually read what I'm typing

[zealous fjord]

Yes. You can also decompile BF files to look for what you want to edit before editing it in PersonaEditor

It's very handy

[sonic finch]

Oh fab, that was going to be my next question, picking the needles out the haystack
Luckily I have the mod menu so I can test the events once I've edited them by entering the event IDs

[zealous fjord]

Yeah, it's the annoying part of editing BF files. Usually, BF are used in events where you can control the character, like field dialogs or dialogs during battle. I don't think you can try them with the mod menu. You can try the events (= BMDs) with it though

Well, you can always set the current day with mod menu

[pallid plover]

why would you recompile them

[sonic finch]

Good to know

[pallid plover]

BMD merging has been a thing for a bit now use that instead

[zealous fjord]

I don't use the merging

Because i have too much to edit

[pallid plover]

merging is used for compatibility reasons, it's good practice to use it

besides, it's easier bc you skip a step (recompiling) and it's easier to make edits

there's only a few cases where I would actively not use merging if it was available

[zealous fjord]

Well, I kinda did the same thing as the other story overhaul, so I kept going with that

Well, too late now

[pallid plover]

for an overhaul mod it's not as bad but it does kill compatibility with a lot of (potential) mods. if any mods that use merging edit the same files as your mod, those mods will always take priority regardless of order

so something to keep in mind

[zealous fjord]

Hum, all right. I want my mod to be a standalone (so no need to use "She/her Joker", etc). I'll keep that in mind if people make addons

[pallid plover]

yeah I wouldn't worry so much about the she/her mod as I think these two mods would be inherently incompatible, I'd be worrying about say, a utility mod that happens to edit some story events for whatever reason

[zealous fjord]

Well, if it's just was it says here https://sewer56.dev/p5rpc.modloader/usage/#editing-bf-files, I can always convert it for BF/BMD merging later

[pallid plover]

yeah, you can

probably a bit of a hassle but it isn't too hard

[zealous fjord]

I already keep the .msg so I only have to recompile the BMD. I only keep the BF files though, so I'll need to get the corresponding msg and flow

[open gull]

Is anyone else finding that the SpdDisassembler from Persona Sprite Tools is dumping the full texture sheets instead of cutting them up into sprites?

Normally I'd edit the texture sheets directly, but I wanna make it compatible with SPD emulator.

[kindred comet]

try installing imagemagick https://imagemagick.org/script/download.php#windows

[open gull]

Ah alr thx! Will give it a try.

[kindred comet]

nice!

this does remind me i need to... do that cutscene eventually 😭

[snow aspen]

It’s not looking happy at that idea

[kindred comet]

well its not that it would be hard... i think

its just

a long cutscene

and im not sure if ill even be able to fix the floating items

[manic cedar]

quick update. Was able to finish this one for now. I have a few more in line but i'll be traveling in two days. Might delay stuff, but I'll return full force once im home

[cyan sun]

Looking good!

[kindred comet]

that looks amazing!!! and dont worry abt it!!! please take as much time as you need

[stray sigil]

I have a question Just installed 0.9.4 but I also see some people sharing single files to fix on certain things, and I see these go way back. Should I install all those old fixes? Or are they included in the new test build

[kindred comet]

they're included in the test build

[stray sigil]

Got it, thank you!

[kindred comet]

you're welcome!

[astral chasm]

so nice to see this beautiful project full of updates and new things to see ✨

[kindred comet]

@zealous fjord would you be able to edit this so she has her hair down? i tried yesterday and couldnt get the skin color to match

[zealous fjord]

Oh, yeah, it's not an easy one. I'll give it a try after I have fixed all my models

[zealous fjord]

Blender is draining my soul, so here's a quick attempt. Couldn't get the skin color to match too, so might as well recolor the whole portrait. I can't get the blemish on the neck right too, so I removed it

Feel free to edit it if you want to change some things

[kindred comet]

thank you! do you have separate layers for the bruises?

[remote ravine]

I heard there was a mod menu for the game ik its wrong to ask here but I think I saw someone talking about it in here, was wondering where I could get that?

[remote ravine]

also is there a mod that adds like everyones outfits similar to this one from p3r, https://gamebanana.com/mods/502388

[kindred comet]

https://github.com/ShrineFox/Persona-5-Mod-Menu/releases/tag/1.9

[kindred comet]

and no, not tmk

i dont mean to be rude but please ask these kinds of things in their appropriate channels

[kindred comet]

thanks!!

[remote ravine]

I will next time and ty goat

[kindred comet]

Sorry it took me so long to get to this

I think I got the scars to look pretty good

#WiltedViolet

[open gull]

Remade the Metaverse cutin with a slightly more neutral expression. The only real difference is the mouth, which is a bit less pouty. Haven't tested it in-game yet, but I'll do that tomorrow.

[manic cedar]

i forgot to mention, but im doing portraits too

traveling makes it hard to share progress, but i have most of them done

basically i took it upon myself to do all 2d assets 🤙

whenever im home ill send what i have in hand, get criticism, make adjustments and be happy

[zealous fjord]

Looks very good to me!

I think I'll try keeping the ponytail version for my mod, mostly because I don't want to edit those again

Well, I should be able to share a Sumire version of each of those, but she'll need the long hair

I don't know if you've planned to edit those too, L7M3 👀

[celest thicket]

he planned to

[zealous fjord]

I don't know if it's Joelcula or this mod than handles the audio for the Crow and Joker showtime, but the sound is very low during it

I don't know about Sumire showtime, I'm trying to get the showtime to happen

[celest thicket]

It's whichever one that uses ryo. Since it's a ryo bug.

[zealous fjord]

Well, both of them use Ryo

[celest thicket]

whichever one changes the showtime then

but either way it's some weird ryo bug.

[kindred comet]

Oh yeah this is a bug with Ryo I think

@bronze depot would you know why this is happening? i did notice some replaced battle voice clips having volume issues but the crow showtime audio i replaced is pretty much always extremely quiet and im not sure why

heres the mod if it helps

[kindred comet]

and sumire showtime should be fine I haven't replaced the audio in that one yet

[manic cedar]

yeah i planned to

will do them at some point too

btw L7 is fine

easier for everyone

[kindred comet]

i cant wait to see them ^^

[kindred comet]

looks really nice, added it!

[bronze depot]

because that how it be

audio gets their initial volume from the sound categories they're set, but you can override it with a yaml config

[kindred comet]

is it just not inheriting the category correctly?

[bronze depot]

i mean if the in-game volume is different then your file's volume then it clearly is inheriting the volume

the categories set volume based on the expected volume of the game files ; aka your file's volume is too low

or just manually set a different volume

[kindred comet]

the file volume is the same as the original volume

so idk whats going on

i did try setting a volume but couldnt rly tell if it was doing anything, i'll try again later though

[bronze depot]

i think there's like three different volumes iirc

1. the volume of the audio itself
2. the volume set for it in the ACB
3. the volume set for it by sound categories

[kindred comet]

hmm odd

i didnt set any sound categories and i set the acb name as 'system'

do i need to put the config yaml in Ryo\P5R\SYSTEM.ACB or Ryo\P5R\SYSTEM.ACB\6796.cue ?

this is the config

[bronze depot]

config.yaml will apply to all files in the folder (and subfolders)

CUE.yaml will apply just to the cue itself

sound categories are (usually) automatically inherited from the original audio

[open gull]

On a related note, this might be an old issue, but I noticed that the SYSTEM.ACB sfx goes quiet after the protagonist (or one of their personas) levels up.

[zealous fjord]

Here a "fix" for the sushi celebration event (281_001). Before/After:

Weirdly enough, the other sitting animation in this event is already kinda correct so I didn't touched it

Well, her position could still be ajusted a bit

[stray sigil]

misspost <<

Apologies.

[kindred comet]

Baking physics for the grappling spots

Im kind of rushing through them since there's like 18 of them but I think they look Ok.

Also I will not be trying to fix the grappling hook being misaligned

There's too many animations and shrimply trying to reposition her arm doesn't fix it, it requires a lot of adjustments and in-game testing just to get like 1 anim to look right

[snow aspen]

Still has style

[snow aspen]

That makes sense there’s an army of these

[kindred comet]

I'm really surprised the jacket physics turned out as good as they did

I thought they would clip like no tomorrow through the ground during the slide but ig not

[zealous fjord]

Yeah, it looks great

[open gull]

Very nicely done!

Just checking, do you mind if we bring up remaining anims that lack physics or look kinda funky? Cuz I don't wanna make it seem like I'm nitpicking.

[zealous fjord]

I've tried making a loungewear outfit (= pajamas) with my meager blender skills. I think it looks alright and animations (including in battle) are working well with it

If you want to try it

[open gull]

Looks good!

I personally just used her outfit with the black jacket as her loungewear model and her red gym outfit in place of the workout + black tracksuit models.
Since the black tracksuit model is the one used at the gym.

[kindred comet]

I don't mind! I'm just not sure if I'll get to all of them

But for now I have the grappling anims and cutscene anims on my todo list

[open gull]

Alr!

[kindred comet]

Oh this is super great actually! I tried making one a few days ago but couldn't get it to look good, and it was just an edit of her gymwear anyway

I did want her to have properly functioning shoes/socks

but couldnt get it to work

I'll add that one to the main mod though since it looks much much nicer than her gymwear

[open gull]

So far, the only funky anims I can think of are:

• entering the Velvet Room (notably in the Metaverse) uses Joker's walking anim
• pressing a button (used in palaces)
  (and personally I think she squats a bit too low when opening doors in the metaverse, but that's just me nitpicking)

[kindred comet]

Oh true

Yeah I'll have to fix the velvet room ones eventually, especially the overworld ones

I'm probably not going to fix the metaverse variants of doing an action (like pushing a button)

There's just too many of them and ideally I want them all to transition from and to her regular idle

The door anim was a bit of a compromise, I wasn't sure how to fully make it fit her so I just had it transition from and to her idle and baked physics

Oh by the way @zealous fjord where are the top and bottom from? I'm curious

[zealous fjord]

Sure!
I tried using Rumi's body at first, but the animations were not working great and I don't really know how to fix that. I ended up using the prisoner torso that I recolored.
For the socks, I used the summer uniform body part, but I renamed its prefix to "1" so it isn't hidden by default

[kindred comet]

OH is the top from Rumi?

[zealous fjord]

No, I couldn't get it to work

I tried using this one

[kindred comet]

Oooh okay

[zealous fjord]

But it broke during some animations

[kindred comet]

Were the verts getting messed up

Oh thats a rigging issue

[zealous fjord]

Well, I don't really know how to fix it. It works when she's idle or sitting though

[kindred comet]

Is it just her arm twists that get broken

[zealous fjord]

The torso moves forward too

[kindred comet]

oh okay then yeah

how did you rig it to her anyway?

[zealous fjord]

I parented the Rumi body to a Sumire model

And resized it a bit

Yeah, my blender skills are low, ah ah

Well, I also took some parts of other models for the hand/neck part

[kindred comet]

Better than mine tbh, idk how to do anything with models

[zealous fjord]

It looks good when idle like that

[kindred comet]

could you send it over?

[zealous fjord]

Sure

[kindred comet]

i wanna try taking a look at it, i probably wont be able to fix it but im just curious :P

[kindred comet]

ty!

[zealous fjord]

Well, if you figure out how to fix it, making her Sumire is very simple

[kindred comet]

Yeah I assume it's just a shrimple hair/face texture swap

[zealous fjord]

Kasumi's eye shape is actually a bit different, so I just import the face of a model and parent it to the body

[kindred comet]

yeah im not sure why its doing that, the weights seem fine

nvm

it shuold be moving the forearm, not just the hand

well i found the issue

torso mesh has no weights for foretwist1/foretwist2

and spine2 weights are missing too

transferring those weights should fix it

or you could just manually weight paint them

but transfer weights should work

ill look more into it later today since im gonna go to bed for now

think some of the verts might need to be scaled some more too to hide the void

also the pants mesh is missing thightwist weights

but it shouldnt(?) cause too many issues

[zealous fjord]

Well, I'm not too experienced with blender, so I didn't think about checking that. Looking at the Rumi model, she doesn't have those weights so that's why they are missing

[kindred comet]

try transferring weights and seeing how it looks

just the twist weights

[celest thicket]

you can use kawakami's version of this. Since it's visually the same iirc.

[kindred comet]

does she have twist weights?

[celest thicket]

not sure, but I would be surprised if she didn't.

[kindred comet]

also yeah i think her shirt is like literally the same mesh

just diff texture

well her skeleton does have twist bones but the weights are either fucked or dont exist

actually no her foretwist weights work correctly

she just doesnt have thightwist weights

she has spine2 weights too so her torso can probably be used instead then

[celest thicket]

she has thigh twists

[kindred comet]

which model are you looking at

[kindred comet]

oh its probably bcs i was looking at her teacher outfit 😭

[celest thicket]

it happens

weird that she has twist bones on an outfit that doesn't need them

[kindred comet]

well

i checked that one and they arent weighted

if you change the bone layer to the 2nd layer they disappear too so this model doesnt use them

[celest thicket]

I can fix that rq

[zealous fjord]

I transfered weights and I think it works

[kindred comet]

but yeah transfer weights should probably work regardless

[celest thicket]

thats good

[kindred comet]

it might be good to grab the pants texture from her too since i think its higher res than the other one

actually the shirt & pants are both higher res

[zealous fjord]

It works, arms included

There's bit of clipping on her back though, because of the neck mesh

[kindred comet]

nice!

[celest thicket]

you can just move it back in edit mode

[kindred comet]

yeah i think the torso just needs to be scaled a bit more

[celest thicket]

no need

[zealous fjord]

The neck mesh is from the prisoner outfit so it's a bit wide in comparison

[celest thicket]

I can fix it if you'd like

[kindred comet]

oh well you might be able to just grab the neck mesh from swimsuit i think?

[zealous fjord]

Here's the model, if you want to fix it

[celest thicket]

could I have the animation aswell?

I want to test it rq

[celest thicket]

thank you

[zealous fjord]

Animation 55

Her hair clips a bit with her chest too, so it might need to be adjusted too

[celest thicket]

fixed both the back and the rest of the shirt so you can't see the void.

[celest thicket]

how's this?

[zealous fjord]

Yeah, I think it works. Does it still clip during some of the animations? Like 46, 49, 50, etc.

She doesn't move a lot during the events with this model, so If it still clips, I think that's fine

[celest thicket]

46 doesn't seem to exist here. And it only clips in the anticipation of 49. 50 seems to be fine.

[zealous fjord]

Well, I think it looks great like that

A little bit a clipping can't be avoided with the long hair, but it's barely noticeable now

How does 53 look?

[celest thicket]

pretty sure that can be fixed with the physics stuff

[zealous fjord]

Yeah, well I don't think one is used a lot with this model; so it should be fine

[celest thicket]

it most definitely was made with the physics engine in mind

[zealous fjord]

Yeah, her back hair is very stiff either way. I think it's good as is

Thank you very much!

[celest thicket]

np

[zealous fjord]

Yeah, it's very close to how it looks with the current model with the sport outfit

I'm going to try it in game. I'll make a Sumire version if everything's fine

[celest thicket]

alright

[zealous fjord]

It works almost perfectly! There a small bit of the neck clipping here:

It might be because I tried to fill the void near her chest when I started. After your fix, those vertices aren't probably needed

[celest thicket]

i can fix that

[zealous fjord]

Or not, it doesn't look like what I added

[celest thicket]

i see

[zealous fjord]

Yeah, there's probably no need for the vertices to go that far

well, if you can fix it, I think the model will be perfect

[zealous fjord]

Thanks, I'll take a look

[celest thicket]

np, hopefully it's fine now

[zealous fjord]

Hey, did you tweak the hair physics as well? It no longer clips, ah ah

Well, that's perfect now

[celest thicket]

I did not. But its good that it doesn't clip anymore.

[zealous fjord]

All right, well thank you again. It's perfect now

[celest thicket]

yeah it's np. Glad I could help

[zealous fjord]

Unfortunately, it still clips here. That neck part really needs to be tight fit, huh

It'll only happen if you use it as a costume for battle, so I think it's fine if left as is. Unless you want to fix it

[celest thicket]

try this

also btw has the animation for when you game on the console been changed?

[zealous fjord]

I think it hasn't been changed yet, it's still joker's

[celest thicket]

I might actually do that. Theres actually an few animations that I found in the betas that I can adapt into kasumi for that.

[zealous fjord]

That's neat! An animation for button mash parts might be need too

There's still a slight clipping, but you could say the hair is much more noticeable

[celest thicket]

try this

[celest thicket]

shouldn't be too hard to adapt.

[zealous fjord]

Still a little bit, but it's barely noticeable during movement

I noticed it happen during "Detox" too, when you cleanse yourself of an ailment. Testing it again will be difficult, though

Well, I think it's great as it is now

[celest thicket]

try this

sorry, was doing something else

[zealous fjord]

There's a small hole now, ah ah

It's probably not worth losing your sanity over it

I'll need to re-test to other animations to, to make sure nothing broke

[celest thicket]

try this

[celest thicket]

it's fine. I don't mind

ah ok i see it now

try this one instead

[zealous fjord]

It's fixed during the Detox animation though

[celest thicket]

thats cool

[zealous fjord]

(it's for the last one here)

[celest thicket]

try this now

almost there

oh i see there also the part near the chest

weird how it doesn't show in blender

[zealous fjord]

Barely now

I mean, it's a bit hard to take a screenshot of it since it's during movement

No issue here for instance

[celest thicket]

this hopefully should be it

[zealous fjord]

No 😦

[celest thicket]

weird

[zealous fjord]

It's good on this frame

There's also a little bit of clipping with the pants, huh. I think it's tolerable

[celest thicket]

try this then

must've just been doing it wrong last try

[zealous fjord]

It's still happening, but I can't screenshot it, lol

[celest thicket]

damn

[celest thicket]

i think we need to kill sumi

[zealous fjord]

Got it

Damn

[zealous fjord]

Let's gooo

Well, you know, I can't be the only one who's mashing the skip button during the score screen

[celest thicket]

we can leave it yeah

[zealous fjord]

So let's leave it at that?

[celest thicket]

yeah

[zealous fjord]

Alright, let me check if everything's fine with the other animations

All good! Thank you for spending that much time with it

I'll do the Sumire version and replace the textures with Kawakami's

[celest thicket]

alright, and thank you for testing it.

i'll work on the gaming ones now

[snow aspen]

Cross never change for us

[celest thicket]

maybe, we'll see

[zealous fjord]

Here's the Sumire version and with Kawakami textures. Since the Kasumi version was made first, I made sure there are no texture names in common with the Kasumi models inside. This should prevent unforeseen texture glitches with my model mod

[celest thicket]

looks great

[wraith juniper]

And for good measure, here's a ladder back to before the whole testing phase so people don't miss what Wisteria posted earlier

Wisteria

But for now I have the grappling anims and cutscene anims on my todo list

Jump

[Go to message!](#1094412112576651314 message)

[celest thicket]

it's got some clipping issues that I'll fix and the controller needs to be moved but its working out so far.

im sorry

[zealous fjord]

It looks nice!

Here's what I was about to post

On a side note, this is not using the individual mouse models. It's maybe an object, not a character model. I haven't been able to find it

[celest thicket]

have you checked the console?

[zealous fjord]

I forgot to check, and it's not an event, so I don't know how I can replay it

[celest thicket]

do you have a previous save

[zealous fjord]

Yes, but before I started the palace

[celest thicket]

damn

[zealous fjord]

Well, at the start at least

[celest thicket]

you could teleport there through a mod menu and see if it'll trigger

[zealous fjord]

I'll give it a try

It's just after the pool deck, after you beat the noble

[celest thicket]

i see

[zealous fjord]

I'll check the name of the field first, they all look the same to me in this palace

[celest thicket]

try f159_020

it says it's after the pool deck on the wiki

[zealous fjord]

Eh, that's actually the one before the pool deck

[celest thicket]

damn

f159_030 then?

[zealous fjord]

No, that's after the mini casino in the ship I think

[celest thicket]

odd

[zealous fjord]

It's upper starboad hallway

Let me check, I need to reload

[celest thicket]

they must've just not documented it then?

cause there is no upper on the wiki

[zealous fjord]

Well, I'll try the starboard one then

Yeah, that's the one --> 159_025

[celest thicket]

hopefully it'll play the event

[zealous fjord]

It plays the event

But it not telling me which object is loaded. I have print registration loaded :/

[celest thicket]

could actually be a map object instead

let me check

[zealous fjord]

The mice pile still eludes me. This is prepawsterous (or something like that)

[celest thicket]

for some reason other fields in shido's palace also get loaded. So it's hard trying to find the exact room its in

found the map. Now to find the object it loads

for reference it's 059_180

[zealous fjord]

Well, how much do you wanna bet I just found it while opening objects at random

[celest thicket]

oh cool

[zealous fjord]

M059_022

in MODEL\FIELD_TEX\OBJECT

[celest thicket]

nice

i'll edit that rq

something cool is that the mouse body for kasumi is called body_futaba. Which is interesting.

[zealous fjord]

Well, Futaba has a mouse model that we never see ingame

[celest thicket]

I got this now. I moved the ears and morgana's hands in accordance with the new mask.

[zealous fjord]

Ah ah, it looks like he's holding her ears

[celest thicket]

yeah, the left hand was almost already doing it. So I just went the extra mile with it

do you not like it?

[zealous fjord]

It's a great touch

Love it

[celest thicket]

alright cool

thank you

[zealous fjord]

During the event, you even get to look at them like that for a while, so I'm sure people will notice it too

It's a neat detail

[celest thicket]

thats good, I wasn't sure what you meant by 'ah ah' tbh. Thats mb

let me get this in game now

here it is ingame

[zealous fjord]

I think Makoto is missing her mask

[celest thicket]

oh lol

[zealous fjord]

And Haru's hat got bigger?

[celest thicket]

ah

I see

there was some weirdness with the rest pose and pose position so thats what it is

[zealous fjord]

Otherwise, looks great! I'll just need to make a texture swap for my model mod

[lilac needle]

a little late but i love how the baked physics look sm!!

[celest thicket]

much better now

[zealous fjord]

Perfect!

You can even see Morgana grabbing her ears

[celest thicket]

here you go

[zealous fjord]

Thank you very much!

[celest thicket]

np

gonna go back to the gaming ones now

[celest thicket]

here's what I have so far for the gaming animations.

[zealous fjord]

That looks great!

The controller wire is flying a bit during the button mashing, but that's not too noticeable

But it looks very smooth, it's impressive

[celest thicket]

I assume it's because of how far it moves away when you button mash. I'll change it up a bit

thank you btw

couple things are buggy but now the wire doesn't break

[zealous fjord]

Nice! I wonder if the winter casual outfit (with the long orange skirt) will work well with the animation. Her legs tend to clip through it when she's not using her default sitting animation

[celest thicket]

i'll try that rq

this wasn't exactly the outfit I wanted but it shows off the defeat anim.

[kindred comet]

Looks great, nice work!

[celest thicket]

thank you

[snow aspen]

She didn’t lock in

[kindred comet]

Could I get a list of all the things that got made here while I was asleep? I'd like to put them in the mod

Just want to make sure I have the latest versions

[celest thicket]

mouse trap

[wraith juniper]

Loungewear outfit

Zylvos

Here's the Sumire version and with Kawakami textures. Since the Kasumi version was made first, I made sure there are no texture names in common with the Kasumi models inside. This should prevent unforeseen texture glitches with my model mod

[kindred comet]

Ty!

Are the game anims done as well?

[celest thicket]

almost

just fixing some of the annoying things with them

[kindred comet]

[zealous fjord]

Mouse trap model should go in Characters\Joker\1\MODEL\FIELD_TEX\OBJECT

My version works with that at least

[celest thicket]

had other things to do for abit. But now it's almost there

[kindred comet]

That looks much better than the Joker ones

Good job!

[celest thicket]

alright cool, fixed every issue I had. Here's the file now.

[kindred comet]

Thank you so much!

[celest thicket]

is sumi still holding the dagger? It's been a while since I saw anything about it.

and np, just glad to help

[kindred comet]

Yeah I fixed the dagger issues

[celest thicket]

oh really?

[celest thicket]

oh that one. What about in normal battle?

[kindred comet]

it works fine

no issues

i just replaced joker's dagger mesh with her sword mesh

[celest thicket]

Ah good, thats what I was gonna do if you hadn't done it yet.

anything off the top of your head that needs to be fixed?

[kindred comet]

umm not really? but if you want you could look into these minus the door anim

im just doing grappling hook stuff rn and then im moving to cutscenes

im not fixing the grappling hook being misaligned though, just baking physics

ideally all the metaverse action variants should blend with her idle anim

[celest thicket]

i see, i'll look into these then

[kindred comet]

sorta like this

thanks! i'd rly appreciate it!

iirc what i did for some of them was grab her idle anim and then paste keyframes from retargeted joker anims for her hands/arm and then made minor adjustments

[celest thicket]

Yeah, I do something similar. But aimaide skips alot of that hassle. shouldn't be too difficult.

[kindred comet]

wdym?

[celest thicket]

let me record it rq

It's not really done. And is kinda bad for showing off since I would do a lot of animaide stuff after this. But in general it's really good for stuff transitioning into idles or similar.

[kindred comet]

Interesting

is that joker's chest anim or the one i did

[celest thicket]

im not really sure tbh.

[kindred comet]

oh yeah that's jokers

i did do that one already actually 😅

but if you want you can redo it since i think its meh

[celest thicket]

I wasn't able to find the buttons anims so I went with that

[kindred comet]

these should be most of the random metaverse stuff

i dont know where all of them play so we might just have to hope it works ingame

[celest thicket]

I shall check

[kindred comet]

New test build
Changelog (v0.9.5):

• Updated prison. interrogation, and phantom bustups from Count/Zyvlos
• Baked physics for the first prologue cutscene, interrogation cutscene, and awakening cutscene
• Baked physics for all grappling hook animations (will not be fixing the misaligned grappling hook)
• New loungewear model by Zyvlos and Croissant Guard
• Mouse trap model edit from Croissant Guard

[zealous fjord]

Zyvlos? Who's that? It's okay, just kidding

By the way, there's at least one remaining custom model that could be made for Sumi. It would be the bathhouse/sauna outfit, which currently uses her swimsuit model. I know the female Joker mod uses a towel, but I'm not sure if this asset is in the game or if it's a custom one. I'll try to think of something

For reference, I'm talking about that female joker model:

[kindred comet]

I think they might be custom?

although

you could probably just steal the towel model from strikers

i did try to get in contact with chloro but never got a response back

[kindred comet]

trying to sculpt it to fit her body rn

[open gull]

Looks good so far! I really ought to get into 3d modelling.

[kindred comet]

Ty! It shuold be done now

Just need to add mats for the towel and she should be good to go

[kindred comet]

i guess i need to fix her animation freezing for some reason

i might remove the swaths of men here too 😅

[open gull]

WHY IS SHE SURROUNDED BY OLD MEN?

[kindred comet]

i completely forgot they spawn in since i never went to the bath on ng+ 😭

[zealous fjord]

You'll still go to the baththouse with Ryuji/Yusuke and with Akechi at some point

[kindred comet]

wellll at least they arent a bunch of old guys

it could be fun to do an evt edit for those

like ann and idk makoto or haru instead of ryuji yusuke

[zealous fjord]

Yeah, though there's the old guy that increase the temperature or something and that gives you more charm I think. Might need some tweaking there

The Ryuji/Yusuke one happen after the hot pot celebration, so there's only Ann in the team at this point

[kindred comet]

well i suppose itll just be ann and sumi then

the old guy can be um

replaced by someone i suppose

ideally i'd want the npcs to just be replaced by women but i could also just nuke them if im lazy

[zealous fjord]

The female Joker mod already changed the NPC with women if I remember correctly

[kindred comet]

oh yeah it did

thats rly cool actually

i do wish it was easier to contact chloro

it'd save a loot of time if i could just ask for permission for these models

ill probably just end up doing it myself though

[zealous fjord]

Well, I ended up saying it's a mixed bathhouse in the story overhaul, even though it's probably a bit weird. I want to keep the event editing for later, though I'm not sure how this one is handled

[kindred comet]

femc mod just replaces the male models with female ones with bathrobes so it wouldnt be any complex editing

[zealous fjord]

Oh yeah, that's could be it. So it will actually be Ryuji/Yusuke that will be going to a women bathhouse with this change

[kindred comet]

Yeah for now

I'll try and just include an evt edit for that event in the main mod so it won't be an issue there

[zealous fjord]

Well, if those NPC appear during the events with the guys, you can always nuke them

[kindred comet]

It shouldn't be too hard, it should just be a model/anim swap and I can literally just reuse the body from strikers probably

The hardest part would just be making the dialogue i guess

idk what to do for akechi's though

[kindred comet]

i think its just the old man

he will be escorted away

[kindred comet]

iirc it's in his confidant so there isn't much I can do about it unless I somehow made a new event

which is technically possible

just not very feasible

that being said I will probably end up doing that anyway bcs it sounds fun, I could just use one of his events as a base anyway

I don't remember what the bath rank is about off the top of my head

I just know it's 🏳️‍🌈🌈

[zealous fjord]

There's a few lines of dialogs before at Leblanc, where they talk about going to the bathhouse

It happens when Akechi visits Leblanc

[kindred comet]

shuake food....

I guess I could just set it at the cafe instead or something

[celest thicket]

It's from strikers

[kindred comet]

[zealous fjord]

Or just outside the bathhouse

[kindred comet]

that'd probably be more difficult

[zealous fjord]

The female Joker also changes the restroom in Shujin

[kindred comet]

is it a texture swap or does it actually let you go into the ladies room

[zealous fjord]

I think you can go into the ladies room, but it's just a fade to black (like in the guy's room)

[kindred comet]

yeah that's what I meant

[celest thicket]

It wouldn't be hard to do for this mod. I'll actually do it rq since I need to do it anyways for redux.

[zealous fjord]

The funny thing is, you can actually go to the restroom with Ryuji when he accompanies you in the prologue

[kindred comet]

is it just a field flow script edit?

[celest thicket]

yeah

[kindred comet]

interesting

that'd be great, thank you!

if you can it'd be great if you could look into replacing the guys in the bathroom with women with towels instead like how chloro's mod does

id be willing to split the workload tbh

it's not really difficult so much as it is time consuming

[celest thicket]

iirc he did some event editing and either replaced some of the models or added in new ones.

i'll need to look at it again

[kindred comet]

I think the NPCs in the bath had their gmds replaced

the NPCs outside of it though were actually swapped

like the boy you can see when you're in the locker room

[celest thicket]

yeah that would be event editing.

[kindred comet]

that shouldn't be hard then

I was under the impression it was a field edit though

[celest thicket]

I mean maybe. idk all I remember from looking at it before was that it was event edited in some way

[kindred comet]

well if it's literally just an event edit then it's super easy

I can handle that

[celest thicket]

off topic but is my gaming anim also included in the update?

[kindred comet]

I think I forgor

could you resend it

[celest thicket]

thats okay

[celest thicket]

i'll look at it again when im done with the bathroom

[kindred comet]

nice, I'm gonna go to sleep and I'll look more into it tmrw

or well after I wake up

[celest thicket]

ok

[kindred comet]

[celest thicket]

night

[velvet crow]

if you can guys it would be nice that you can equip female armor instead men like femc mod did

[zealous fjord]

This mod already handles it

https://gamebanana.com/mods/550938

[velvet crow]

oh great thanks

[celest thicket]

finally got it working. Just have to change up the msgs and the position of the camera.

[zealous fjord]

Nice ! Just so you know : there are restrooms on pretty much every floor of the school, in both building. There are separate msg files for each of them

There's also the thing where you can go to the restroom with Ryuji, during the Kamoshida investigation

[zealous fjord]

This loading sprite cuts off a bit.~~ I'm using a custom one for my model mod, but it should also happen with the regular one~~ Mine has some issues too

[zealous fjord]

So, it's the one in NOWLOADING2.SPD. I've tried replacing it with the one in NOWLOADING3.SPD, which doesn't have a cutoff and it cuts even more

My bad they're not supposed to be the same size in those two spds

(just checked with the regular spd)

[zealous fjord]

This should fix it

FOR NOWLOADING2

NOWLOADING3.SPD is supposed to be the Hawaii sprite, but it never happens in my game. I barely get loading screens, so, I can't really test it

[celest thicket]

you can just replace NOWLOADING2/1.SPD with the hawaii one

[zealous fjord]

Hum, I'll test it again then. I forgot to put the spdspr back into the folder so I think that's why the second screenshot is like that

The hawaii one is cut when replacing NOWLOADING2

Well, when putting the Joker's one together, they aren't exactly centered. It's possible the current one in NOWLOADING3 works

Yeah, the Hawaii one is a bit moved to the right, and so is the one in the mod

I think my fix will work for both loading 2 and 3. At the very least, it works for loading 2, which is going to be seen a lot more

[celest thicket]

Got this done so far.

[zealous fjord]

That's nice!

[kindred comet]

Great work!

[kindred comet]

Good catch, I haven't seen the loading icon since I replaced it

I think my game just loads too fast

Same thing happened with reload, I didn't even know the window icon appeared let alone changed depending on the time of day

I'm glad I moved everything to SPD emulator though this makes it so much easier to work with

[zealous fjord]

That loading screen on 18/07 is just a bit longer, for some reason. I had another another that lasted for less than a second so yeah, can't see anything

I'm trying to find the Hawaii one on a youtube playthrough, but no luck so far

So I found it on a vanilla Persona 5 playthrough. Either they removed it with Royal, or the game loads too fast on PC

[kindred comet]

its there in royal

the game just loads really fast on pc

you could probably check it though if you changed your power options and lowered your max cpu usage

[zealous fjord]

I think the Hawaii one works

Game was a powerpoint and the loading screen was still 1 second

[kindred comet]

😭

[vagrant sky]

Game was made too optimized smh

[zealous fjord]

That's working surprisingly well. You can't even see the long sleeves in the train

Now that's funny, there's a hole in Sumire's neck because you're never supposed to see her back with this model

[celest thicket]

it took 5 billion years but im almost at where I want it.

do you like this angle better than the other one?

here it is

the good part about this is that the other 2 bathrooms use the same script as this so I don't need to redo the camera

[kindred comet]

nice!

the angle in that vid is perfect

[kindred comet]

progress so far

[celest thicket]

nice

all 3 bathrooms are working correctly now

put these 2 files in p5rpc.kasumiasprotag\P5REssentials\CPK\EN.CPK and they should work.

there are the decompiled versions of all the files in there so if you only want the completed BF versions just delete the decomps

[kindred comet]

thank you!

although would you be able to make these compatible with flowscript merging?

i'd like to maintain as much compatibility as possible

[celest thicket]

sure

[celest thicket]

do you happen to have the bf file emulation documentation on you? It's not posted anywhere and I just need a referesher on how to do it

[kindred comet]

Yeah hold on

https://github.com/Secre-C/FileEmulationFramework/blob/main/docs/emulators/bf.md https://github.com/Secre-C/FileEmulationFramework/blob/main/docs/emulators/bmd.md

https://sewer56.dev/p5rpc.modloader/usage/#editing-bf-files

[celest thicket]

nice thank you❤️

[astral chasm]

Just out of curiosity, where are you guys from? I find it funny that when you're most active, it's nighttime or early morning here in Brazil

[celest thicket]

usa

[kindred comet]

US as well!

[celest thicket]

east or west?

[kindred comet]

West

[celest thicket]

makes sense, im east

[astral chasm]

oh, nice! I really thought y'all were from, like, australia lmao

[celest thicket]

it happens, I usually just don't post something until it actually looks good and most of the time that happens at the end of the day.

[open gull]

Funnily enough, I am from Australia.

[prime orbit]

im brazilian too

[tepid fjord]

earth

[rain tangle]

Japan

[stray sigil]

Watching this mod progress has become the highlight of my day

Thanks everyone for your hard work

[open gull]

Is that a custom event edit I see there?

[kindred comet]

Made two super rough npc towel models

should be ok enough since you can barely see them anyway

[zealous fjord]

I'm from europe. You can have people working 24h/day with that

[kindred comet]

WIP

[celest thicket]

I don't know what im missing with the .msg emulation but now all of the bathroom stuff is now emulated.

[kindred comet]

Great work!

I can take a look at the msg emulation later if u want

[celest thicket]

I think I missed a couple or something. I'mm looking through the msgs again to make sure

ok yeah nvm. It's just not reading it correctly.

this is confusing

Cause theres only 1 version of morgana saying that within all 3 of the msgs.

[kindred comet]

can you send the full restroom mod over?

I'll get around to looking at it later today

[celest thicket]

sure one sec

[kindred comet]

by the way I should be done with the bathhouse edits soon, u can use them in femc redux if u want

[celest thicket]

I think we'll be doing our own thing with the bathhouse. Though if we end up scrapping that we'll use yours and let you know about it so thank you.

[kindred comet]

and for future reference any assets from this mod are free game to use once I finally release it, I still need to pin down the correct license

but I think I'll worry Abt that closer to GB release

[celest thicket]

makes sense

this should be both the dummy files and the bf emulated files.

[kindred comet]

for some reason im having constant issues with bf emulator (not related to the restroom script, just a field script)

it wont compile no matter what i do

it keeps saying duplicate procedure whenever i try to hook this procedure but ?? no?

idk if im doing something wrong or not but its not making a whole lot of sense

okay nvm i had a dupe in a completely different mod

now it just wont compile bcs of this?

this isnt even a custom function so im confused

...and when i try to import the msg

[kindred comet]

it seems like this gets solved if i import a msg for some reason?

i import a msg with like 2 lines and itll compile the bf but obv crash when it calls for dialogue

if anyone could look into this i would relaly appreciate it. i dont know if its user error or an issue with bf emulator

[zealous fjord]

I don't use BF emulator for my story mod, but maybe the .msg needs to contain only the edited lines? They seem to do that in the She/Her Joker mod

[stray sigil]

Wait, are you the kind soul behind the Story Overhaul mod? The one that was like 90% done?

[kindred comet]

If I don't include the original msg file the game crashes

[zealous fjord]

Mine is the Rose & Violet story overhaul on GB. Archlamp (on GB) is the author of the one you are talking about, but it's currently on hold
