(P5R PC) Kasumi as Protagonist

[lean bough]

I just wanted to bring it up because I was using wisteria’s mod.

No.

[arctic totem]

Huh that's weird

[lean bough]

All my mods are already public in here XD.

[arctic totem]

Honestly I didn't check, my bad

[lean bough]

Cause I had to fix mod order stuff

And wisteria helped me

[kindred comet]

did you change flags with mod menu

[lean bough]

Only thing I did was give myself like the growth 3 skill on Cendrillion

[kindred comet]

I'll try looking into it later

[lean bough]

Since I’m wanting to level cendrillion while using some other personas.

And I did also use the add money command in the menu

But that’s nothing confidant related

[zealous fjord]

If it's the phone call, it's possible it's E700_300.BMD. All the post-confidant dialogues are in here, so there's probably a script somewhere that handles which lines are played. There's possibly a library issue here too
The file would be similar to another BMD I've had compilation issues with. It has all the dialogues that play when you're walking to school and listening on other students. The game would crash instantly though

You can try again by turning the "Women bathhouse" option off and see if it still happens I guess

[lean bough]

Meh. I don’t mind, it didn’t progress Makoto at all or even give me any confidant notes. So, it’s fine.

It just randomly happened but it’s fine

Am gonna go to sleep. Goodnight.

https://tenor.com/view/kotori-minami-love-live-miu-goodnight-gif-27170546

[kindred comet]

i used bmd emulator for that so idk

it worked fine when i tested it

i kind of doubt its a library issue, if it was the bmd just wouldnt compile

i didnt touch the flowscript

well i guess the position will need to be adjusted here anyway

bmd emulator why

[zealous fjord]

Yeah, that's probably it

[kindred comet]

okay its not bmd emulator

https://tenor.com/view/phoenix-wright-ace-attorney-godot-prosecutor-courtroom-gif-17001133

...but now i have no idea whats causing this to happen

probably related to this

actually no it would be this but i already disabled the bmd so...?

?? 😭😭😭

well it has nothing to do with my mod

[echo thicket]

you need to find a save that was on the day before

usually things like this are stored in the COUNT values

so if you saved past the script already setting it, no amount of disabling mods would get rid of it

[kindred comet]

what if i just set the calendar to 5/7 instead

[echo thicket]

no idea

[kindred comet]

can you upload the save you used for this screenshot?

okay yeah i have no way of testing this rn

unless i get through kamoshida's palace and then the entire deadline

[zealous fjord]

I used a save on 10/05

Uh, more like 5/10

[kindred comet]

could you upload that one

[zealous fjord]

And went back with the calendar to 5/8

[kindred comet]

i dont have like any saves in may

actually i have a save from like may 19 so i'll see if that works ig

yeah i dont think this save will work lmao

[zealous fjord]

That should be the one

[kindred comet]

thanks

well regardless i'll just make a note of this and keep an eye out whenever i do another playthrough

well it works fine for me

[zealous fjord]

Same, can't get that bug to happen

[kindred comet]

but this doesnt fully clear it

would need an actual authentic save file from 5/7

regardless i doubt its this mod causing it, the user has mod menu so it couldve just been something from there

the only thing that touches this specific event is bmd emulator and nothing else

from now on i will not be providing support or investigating bugs like this if the user has mod menu

im pretty sure there's already a disclaimer on the mod menu's download page but i'll say it here again

mod menu is not intended to be used during gameplay, it's a tool for mod developers

and you can cause numerous issues with your save if you mess around with it

[zealous fjord]

Got it, now to test something real quick

[kindred comet]

did you set the date or is this from an real playthrough

[zealous fjord]

I used a save from 4/21

[kindred comet]

but did you jump to 5/8

[zealous fjord]

Yes

[kindred comet]

then it doesnt count

unless the bug goes away ig

but i would need to see it reproduced in a real playthrough where the save wasnt tampered with in any way

[zealous fjord]

Alright, so it's indeed the mod menu ah ah

the Makoto line is the first line in E700_300

So yeah, it's a flag thing

[reef musk]

@zealous fjord not sure if here is the right place to ask but there’s no separate thread and yours and Wisteria’s mods are very tightly linked so I was wondering, when your story overhaul mod is released could you provide a version where Kasumi’s last name is hardcoded in so you can have her full name? It’d drive me crazy seeing it be one letter short

[short spade]

i'm still not sure i really know what i'm doing in terms of editing the p3r textures for p5 - but i did at least fix them looking very flat

gonna tweak them a bit more until i'm happy - then i figured they could go into the main mod as a config for a bit more weapon variety, if you're interested @kindred comet?

[kindred comet]

sure!

[rapid pine]

Am I the only person who hated the lance weapons? Especially as Sumi is very much slashy

[short spade]

i thought about replacing the more lance looking weapons with a few of makoto's swords but i think i actually like how they look on kasumi idk

i could always port the swords and then there could be two optionals, one with the lances and one without i suppose

if wisteria wants to do that, i dont wanna throw too much optional stuff their way lol

[kindred comet]

i wouldnt mind, it would probably be for the best honestly

[short spade]

alternate weapons with 4, 7 and 8 being taken from makoto

[kindred comet]

Looks good!

[short spade]

both sets in there

let me know if there's any issues

[kindred comet]

nice ty! i'll try to get around to adding the option soon

[deft lake]

is there a reason Mishima is calling you yoshiza in this scene?

[kindred comet]

Yoshizawa doesn't fit in the name character limit

[lilac needle]

I always just name her Yoshzawa lol

[magic gyro]

understand why people don't like spears on Kasumi, but swords are so much different, don't fit her at all

[open gull]

Finally got some footage of that alt loading screen and yep, it works.

[open gull]

Those weapon models look good! Using Mitsuru's P3R models fits since the equipment patch already borrows her weapon names from several games.

[magic gyro]

is possible to import models from P5X?

or is a complicated and long thing to do?

[zealous fjord]

Unfortunately, not for the first release for the mod. I think it's possible to add the missing letter with Cheat Engine, but I'm not familiar with it at all.
Making the name hardcoded requires me re-editing a lot of files. I'll think about it after the mod first release, since it's also helpful to know when they're talking about Sumire

[open gull]

You could find and replace the name with "Yoshizawa" in the text files with Notepad++ if you wanted to. It would be consistent with the voice lines, which already refer to Sumire as "Yoshizawa" at some points.

[sonic finch]

I always name her Rae Taylor
imagining her sister's name being Sumire Taylor also makes me laugh, gives me old Sailor Moon dub vibes where next to names like Molly and Melvin you had "Rini" and "Darien"

I'd say Count Joelcula's suggestion makes sense rather than trying to fiddle with weird Atlus coding

[zealous fjord]

That's what I consider doing. It's just that there's hundreds of occurences that I have to manually edit, so I keep it for later (maybe for the cleanup part)
I should probably make a separate thread for my mod now. It doesn't have anything to do with Wisteria's mod

[open gull]

Notepad++ does have a handy "Find and Replace" feature that could help speed up the process.

[lean bough]

I still don’t know what happened for me cause I only added like one skill and a tiny bit of money for myself to summon one thing from compendium…

Like I never tampered with the confidant ranks.

Oh well. It is what it is.

[magic gyro]

did a flat with recolor of the base costume

[kindred comet]

personally i would not do this

i dont think its something that needs to be hardcoded or "fixed"

it would just add a lot onto the workload and make the player giving her a last name pointless

the character limit is just something ppl will have to live with imo, hardcoding it takes options away and might not even be necessary if someone finds a way to add the extra character

also it wouldnt be feasible to make a separate version that has it hardcoded, maintaining two versions of a mod that overhauls that much dialogue would be a nightmare

[open gull]

True.

[lean bough]

I just named mine. Kasumi Yuki as if she was the daughter of the P3 Protag, Makoto Yuki.

I mean it then makes it even more hilarious because her wild card ability becomes blood related. XD.

[lean bough]

Honestly, the character limit is annoying but it is what it is. I agree with you on that and the last name thing wisteria.

[magic gyro]

i don't know if is known or not, i'll just point it out

[lean bough]

Is this part of wisteria’s mod or a problem with the recoloir? That is the question XD.

[magic gyro]

the recolor is just me hand painting the texture, i don't think it can cause problems like this

i think is a miss placement due to the different model size of the character

[lean bough]

Cool

[lean bough]

I actually wonder if it’s possible to get like a colour swap for her outfit. Like the red and black swapping places

But idk how to access the files and what not.

[magic gyro]

if is just swapping colors is sure possible

she only have gloves that are red thou, all the rest is black..

that's what i did for now

[lean bough]

Honestly that looks great

I’d love to play with it XD.

Too bad idk how to access the files and that

[magic gyro]

i can explain you how to do, is not that hard

[open gull]

Texture editing is pretty easy. You can use GFD Studio to open a model and extract the textures with a few clicks, and paint.net to edit the textures.

Did a bit more editing on DeathChaos' Yunaka model. I just changed the colour of Sumi's arms to be consistent with her other models. (interestingly, the fleshy base model has slightly different coloured arms. A bit more yellowish.)

[magic gyro]

is the same you posted earlier?

[open gull]

Pretty much, but with updated arms.

[magic gyro]

yoink

[open gull]

I'm an artist. I tend to nitpick details.

[magic gyro]

same

even if i'm trash at doing it

[open gull]

Hey, we all gotta start somewhere.

[lean bough]

Thanks. I’m just really tempted to recolour Sumi’s phantom thief attire to be like a kind of black and white mix instead of black and red. XD.

[open gull]

All good. These are the settings I use when exporting DDS files.

[lean bough]

Tbh, I just need to figure out what GFD studio is.

How to work it

Etc.

Since I’m not exactly a modder or texture editor.

[open gull]

You can download it here.
https://github.com/tge-was-taken/GFD-Studio/releases/tag/0.10.2

[magic gyro]

redone the work better

for who want this

[lean bough]

Noice!

How do I install it though?

Am just curious @magic gyro

[vagrant sky]

I theoretically was and to change the last name to Yoshizawa using cheat menu and manually adding in an extra bit for the last name. If you'd like help with it, you can always dm me, but I am on a camping trip right now, so it'd be a moment before I could even respond!

[magic gyro]

there is a txt in the zip

[lean bough]

Cool

I’ll have to check it when I get home

[vagrant sky]

of course, my method is also dangerous, as you care changing the bits or the actual code in storage, so just be warned lol. Not that bad but there is a possibility you mess something up if you change the wrong address

[magic gyro]

hope will work, i need to take a nap now, 1pm and I still haven't slept

[lean bough]

Ouch. Have a good nap

[magic gyro]

ty

[lean bough]

No problem!

https://tenor.com/view/love-live-emma-verde-nijigasaki-cheery-lets-go-gif-6572358552380435190

[bronze depot]

ig that'd make akechi her (somewhat) murderous claire

[lean bough]

Imagine Kasumi being Makoto Yuki/P3 Protag’s daughter.

That would make her mom be somebody like Yukari or Mitsuru. And would mean she got her power because her parents were personas users.

[rapid pine]

She does get spontaneous access to the metaverse despite never having been before

[mighty snow]

she got it the same way ren and akechi did which no one seems to talk about, which is getting it from igor

[lean bough]

True

[lilac needle]

Close enough welcome back prince akechi

[magic gyro]

ahahahah, didn't realize that

[cyan sun]

I never thought about that

[ionic fulcrum]

Do we know when 1.0 will be released?

[lean bough]

There are test builds available in this channel actually, if you can’t wait. But we don’t know about 1.0

[ionic fulcrum]

Can you find it for me?

[lean bough]

@ionic fulcrum here is wisteria posting the latest test build. Make sure you just drag the zip folder onto Reloaded-II where it says launch application. You can’t drag it into the main mod menu it has to be on the part with the launch application button.

And if you want the Kasumi battle portrait over joker’s. You’ll have to set joker’s slot to slot 1 in I think it’s either Persona Essentials or custom bonus tweaks.

Can’t remember which

If you need help with the mod or find bugs. Best to just ping wisteria in this channel and ask wisteria

@ionic fulcrum I’m just a passerby who uses/installed the mod XD

[ionic fulcrum]

i cant wait for the story overhaul to release too

by another person

https://gamebanana.com/wips/88857

[lean bough]

I know wisteria is working I think arc by arc for her mod on like in game animations and specific events. IIRC. So idk if it will be compatible. We’ll have to wait and see.

I can’t say much because I could remember being

All I know is you’d probably have to ask wisteria if it’ll be compatible with her mod

[ionic fulcrum]

the person making the story mod is waiting for this mod to be updated

[lean bough]

Well I honestly didn’t know

So cool

I’ll probably get it when it comes out and play the revamped story lol.

[ionic fulcrum]

@zealous fjord do you have a beta for download

[astral chasm]

Zylvos' mod is 80% complete, and a test version will be available once it reaches 90% +-

[echo thicket]

so true, anyway can you try checking what last name you get with this mod real quick?

[magic gyro]

why keep repoting it?

[echo thicket]

dont worry about it

[magic gyro]

ahahah, ok

working good to me

[earnest wave]

Yup, works, just tested it and shows Yoshizawa in the text boxes

[tiny storm]

Oh does it show yoshizawa on the protag persona screen too?

[earnest wave]

nope

[tiny storm]

I changed her name to yoshizawa with the CE method and the persona stat screen is the only place it doesn’t say yoshizawa

Everything else from mod menu to what the characters call her all are Yoshizawa

The name shown on persona stat screen is the name I used before I edited it

So if I had her named as yoshzawa then I edited it to yoshizawa, the persona stat screen still shows it as “kasumi yoshzawa” for some reason

[magic gyro]

talking about this?

[tiny storm]

Yes that red font one

[reef musk]

godspeed thank you

[echo thicket]

so true

[magic gyro]

what a champ

[reef musk]

goat

[magic gyro]

what the power of knowing what you are doing, is crazy

[open gull]

Just realized I neglected to edit the hands to match the arms. Now Sumi's arms and hands should be consistent with the rest of her models.

[magic gyro]

what changed exacly?

kinda hard tell the diffference xD

[open gull]

I pretty much just edited the base skin model to be a bit more detailed and consistent with her other models. (Since interestingly, the arms and hands seem to be a slightly more yellowish colour. Plus, the solid colour in some spots kinda stood out to me.)

[magic gyro]

cool

those icon taken from the dds file in the font folder, right?

i changed that file but they are still all red...

jeez i'm having so much fun digging in those files

[magic gyro]

yoinked xJustAdam wepons and edited the GUI

[magic gyro]

update: all are colored now

[lean bough]

Isn’t there already a mod for that?

To colour those?

[magic gyro]

it was not working with the Wisteria mod

[lean bough]

I’m guessing it’s because we’re swapping the portraits…

[lean bough]

Fair

Wait. Where are all the extra weapons for Kasumi?

Are they in this channel?

[lean bough]

Nevermind. Found it!

[magic gyro]

have you tried to install the white costume @lean bough ?

[lean bough]

Yeah, it worked!

And honestly. When I figure out how to edit files etc. then I’ll probably swap the red for maybe black. But the recolour is cool.

[magic gyro]

i thought that too, but red is a color that represent her

[lean bough]

Fair

[zealous fjord]

Works perfectly on my end! That's a much better solution than what I was going for, thank you very much!

[zealous fjord]

No public beta yet. I'm still adjusting stuff here and there as I'm testing the 3rd semester, so it's not exactly linear work. I don't expect things to be perfect, but I don't want crashes or horribly bugged dialogues to occur. I haven't decided yet when/how I will a release a beta of the mod, but given my current progress, it shouldn't take me months to reach an releasable state.

[ionic fulcrum]

So less than a month?

[kindred comet]

oh my god THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹 genuinely i cant state my appreciation enough

[lilac needle]

Wasnt Kasumi pink

or Magenta

[magic gyro]

yeah i said red, but indeed i used a tiny pinky bersion of red for her

[lilac needle]

Red girl who gets repressented by the color pink rather than red

where have i seen that before

[magic gyro]

ann is like that too

[lilac needle]

https://tenor.com/view/persona-3-dancing-persona-3-hamuko-kotone-shiomi-kotone-gif-13301980366419116177

[zealous fjord]

Less than a month is probably going to be short. That'll depend on how much free time I have and how much I still have to edit/polish. I don't want to give a date just yet because I don't to compromise on quality in order to release the mod at the scheduled date. It'd be nice if I can have it done by late April or early May, but no promises!

[magic gyro]

kinda like this

[lilac needle]

Yeah thats the shade i thought of

Honestly fits Kotone aswell tho

[open gull]

Tried replacing the mask textures in BLT_BTN.SPD but have had no luck so far.

[short spade]

i remember also trying to find that specific mask texture with no success, i think it's buried in a bin or pak somewhere

i'm interested to see if you have any luck finding it

[open gull]

Wisty directed me to BLT_BTL.SPD, which I found in the EN.CPK.
I believe I've found them. Its replacing them that's the issue.

[lean bough]

@magic gyro is there a chance you could send those recoloured party portraits to me?

i wanna use them so badly XD

[magic gyro]

sure

[lean bough]

could you also run me throuhg installing it?

(preferably in DMs to not flood this channel)

[magic gyro]

@lean bough here, just slap that in the Wisteria mod directory, This zip contains the colourfull pack for the team and the equipment icons working with the Wisteria mod (loading icon and 3D colored party still works in the original mod)

[supple moat]

Now that looks cute owo

[vagrant sky]

Thanks a ton! I had to resort to manual address editing before, so this will help a lot better!

[cyan needle]

There should be a ren confidant in place if kasumi

I can help right the story If the confidant

[sonic finch]

Joker party member is gonna be a seperate optional mod iirc but Wisteria is working on it

[grizzled crystal]

we do a little rigging

[magic gyro]

MY CHIDORIIIIIII, LET'S GOOOOOHHH

[vagrant sky]

That's a great choice for an outfit fr fr 🔥

[grizzled crystal]

also it might be worth looking at some of Frosts weapons from p5x, it's a similar sort of sword to sumi's so it could help fill in some of the gaps

[rapid pine]

Oooooooo

[open gull]

Oooh! Outta curiosity, where'd you get the P5X assets? I wouldn't mind playing around with some of those.

[open gull]

One of the Phantom Idols (fittingly named Fleuret) even has a rapier.

[kindred comet]

oh my god youre cooking so hard 🥹 🥹 🥹 🥹

okay i just finished AA3, time to lock back in

the plan for next test build:

• bake physics for 3rd semester cutscenes as well as correct them to fit sumi (the checkmate one is going to make me want to eat rocks im dreading it)
• smoother rain animations (similar to the smoother walking/running field anims last update)
• more one-off anims particularly for madarame arc
• anims for crafting tools and big bang burger anims

wouldnt mind adding toggles for mods like no aoa portraits, colorful party panel, epic party panel, etc to the addon mod but i would need to get in contact with the respective mod developers and get permission

[earnest wave]

What about possibly implementing this into the mod as an option? would it even be possible?

[kindred comet]

i think it'd be better as a separate mod as it is rn

[earnest wave]

Ok

[open gull]

Looking back at those P5X assets and I'm wondering whether Violet has a few more weapon models in that game.
https://p5x-theories.tumblr.com/post/770263760890970112/violet-assets-from-version-31s-files

[kindred comet]

Morty would know

Although I kinda doubt she would

I'm not sure what the equipment system is like in that game, assuming there is one

[magic gyro]

I play that I can do some screen if needed

[kindred comet]

that could be helpful

[kindred comet]

Oh I didn't see this until now but I have actually already done this

It'll be a config in the addon mod

[magic gyro]

yeah manually recolored her's and all others, and the the mask in the icon when they are in the party

so, in P5X every character has 4/5 weapons and if i'm not wrong are all new models

maybe the base one is like in P5R

[kindred comet]

well i guess she would have some then

although they do look kinda boring honestly

about what i expected from p5x

2 of them are from p5r, the others are just the p5r ones but with more gold thrown on

[kindred comet]

by the way i could put this in the addons mod as a costume if you'd like, i just need a costume name 😛

[kindred comet]

and yeah this is known, i wont be fixing it

[magic gyro]

i called that "White Leotard"

[kindred comet]

awesome ty!

[magic gyro]

in game is better i guess

[kindred comet]

my main issue is that they just look kinda generic and same-y

[magic gyro]

5 star are much pretty, sadly i don't have hers

look, Mona weapon is kinda good

[lean bough]

Wait

[magic gyro]

is there a way to make part of the model invisible without deleating the face of the polygons?

[lean bough]

They dont use the third semester name?

On Violet in P5X?

That’s interesting.

[magic gyro]

nope, is not story related so is not important

[lean bough]

But isn’t the third semester name her real name?

So wouldn’t that kind of be lying to P5X players who have played P5R third semester?

[magic gyro]

i think they did that for not don't do spoiler on the main game

[lean bough]

Fair enough

Probably that’s why

[magic gyro]

trying editing the model

she's wearing a motorcicle jacket xD

[open gull]

Fair point. I might try to nab the second one from the game files cuz I like the way it looks. And I wanna try my hand at importing a weapon model.

I might try doing a texture edit of the Sword of Sinai for the Enchanted/Moonlight Rapier which replaces Arsene's cane/The Great Thief Stick.

[kindred comet]

honestly i think the weapon(s) morty recommended would be way better

the 2nd one looks like a wish.com version of this one lmao

[magic gyro]

ahahahah

true

can i do a blender question?

[kindred comet]

yeah whats up

[magic gyro]

why when i try to texture paint a a.dds on the 3d model is all broken?

[kindred comet]

you have to export the dds as png and reimport it into blender

i sorta find blender's dds support to be... underwhelming

im not sure if its a blender issue or gfstools issue

[magic gyro]

mh..k ty

[kindred comet]

yw!

[open gull]

Funnily enough, number 4 fits perfectly well with the weapon I have equipped atm, which the equipment patch renames to "Night Falcon".

[short spade]

if i had access to p5x files i probably would have went for those weapons first myself

might try looking into that

i’m not too crazy about makoto’s swords for sumi

[magic gyro]

i'm kinda struggleing, painting texture in balnder is horrible

[open gull]

If you're editing the dds texture directly, you'd be better off using an image editing program like paint.net. I don't even know how blender works for the most part.

[magic gyro]

yeh but i don't see the shape in other programs..

i used clip studio until now

[open gull]

I don't know how to help with that, sorry.

[magic gyro]

to be fair, the only problem that i'm facing in blender is that tools are rly bad for drawing, and i don't know where to download better

[open gull]

Blender has so many tools and things that I don't even know how the vast majority of it works tbh.

[open gull]

Makes sense. Plus, Sumire uses rapiers, which are a particularly light type of sword. I imagine Makoto's swords would be a bit thicker and heavier, which I imagine would feel very different to wield.

[lean bough]

Would it not help to edit the texture as a PNG and then import into like GFD studio? (Just curious. Idk much about texture editing XD)

[open gull]

From my experience, GFD studio is a good way to preview what an edited texture will look like when applied to the model.

If you're just editing textures, I'd recommend using GFD studio to extract + replace them.

[lean bough]

Honestly, I need to figure out how the hell I can edit a texture without botching things and then having to reset all my editing etc.

I figured out exporting with the help of Ultimo. But the actual editing part is what I’m struggling with, since I don’t want to botch it….

[open gull]

My advice is to add a new layer to do your editing on, so you're not directly changing the texture itself.

[lean bough]

Question is how do I separate it into new layers?

Cause I can’t figure it out

(Any guide will help)

[open gull]

What program are you using?

paint.net's a pretty simple program to use, and the official site has a guide, which'll explain layers better than I can.
https://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/WorkingWithLayers.html

[lean bough]

I’m probably gonna use paint.net but I’m more thinking about how to actually split stuff apart if you know what i mean

Like if I wanted to idk recolour like Kasumi’s mask on her leotard I’d need to separate that off the rest of the texture for that part of her face and idk how to do that XD.

[open gull]

You can use the magic wand tool to select areas of similar colours. I'd just use that to select what you want, then copy and paste it onto a new layer.
https://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/MagicWand.html

[lean bough]

Thanks

[open gull]

All good!

[reef musk]

kotone my beloved ❤️

[cyan needle]

Question, is the test build close to what version 1.0 will be?

Or is there a major jump in quality

[lean bough]

Despite having used the last 2 test builds. I could not tell you @cyan needle that is a question for Wisteria I’d say.

[kindred comet]

Yes

[supple moat]

404:ella not found

still confused why cendrillon's faith for me and ella fool

[supple moat]

also tried everything mentioned like replacing the file, redownloading, clearing catch

[kindred comet]

completely delete/uninstall the mod and reinstall the latest test build

if that still doesnt work then im not sure what else i can do for you, the issue isn't reproduceable for me and the cause has already been determined to stem from the older versions visual tbl

and ofc this goes without saying but make sure you dont have the standalone version of cendrillon over arsene on

[supple moat]

That one got kicked the moment we got the update :3

Here's my modlist, yes it's long .. qwq

[cyan needle]

Can someone link me a guide to setup mods on the deck? I'm about to rip my hair out here

[magic gyro]

mods are loaded fromt top to bot, main mode should be high in the list

and patch mod for said mod should be under the main mod

all the mods that make essential change without crossing with others you can put them at the top

i'll show you mine (that works) mind that may not be perfect

ignore the red line

[lean bough]

how much mods do you have? @magic gyro

[magic gyro]

honestly, not not enough

[ionic fulcrum]

not using reloaded II.5 smh

There’s should be an option to hide mods

Like they’ll still work but not appear on your list

[magic gyro]

why you should hide them?

[earnest wave]

What is Reloaded 2.5? I saw Wisteria has it

[Reply to:](#1094412112576651314 message) What is Reloaded 2.5? I saw Wisteria has it

ryo

Was originally meant to be just some quick tweaks to make Reloaded a bit easier and nicer to use for myself buuuuuuuuuut now it's been a week and has
a growing changelog

• All of the changes are based on my personal preferences.
• If you have any suggestions, feel free to post them (though I'll probably taking a break from this).
• If Sewer, Sniwe, or anyone else wants to work any of the changes into a PR for the actual Reloaded II, please feel free (though some credit is nice).

Download: https://github.com/RyoTune/Reloaded-II.5/releases

Changed

• Mods List has been completely overhauled.
• Edit Mod dialog has been completely overhauled.
• Overall look is hopefully more cohesive.

Added

• Update indicator with ability to manually start a check or update.
• Config indicator if the mod can be configured through Reloaded.
• Mods list now has compact and horizontal mode settings.
• Option to delete a mod directly from the mods list.
• Creator URL added for linking to socials or creator support sites (Patreon, Ko-Fi, etc).

Removed

Filtering mods by tags.

1. I never used it.
2. Built-in filters have minimal use.
3. Tags are not required and many mods lack them.

Mod user configs.

1. I never used it.
2. Too many "configs". Application config, mod config, mod user config...

Process manager.

1. I never used it.

Mod presets.

1. I never used it.
2. Should probably have a built-in GUI, instead of saving/loading loose JSON files.

#Reloaded II.5 ReMIX (Reloaded II UI/UX Overhaul)

[magic gyro]

ok is surely cooler

i'm getting that

xD

[ionic fulcrum]

I’m talking about the all the mods you can’t enable or disable

[earnest wave]

Huh so it is just a custom interface

[magic gyro]

yeah i know, but i want to know what i have and if is there

do i have to unistall what i have now?

[ionic fulcrum]

I think? You can copy your mods folder

[magic gyro]

oke

[kindred comet]

please try it with just my mod, costume framework, custom bonus tweaks alone

and ofc voice patch

also this isnt needed

[magic gyro]

bug in the text of Vanadis fusion quote

[covert obsidian]

Hi, is this order correct? did a clean installation just now because I had some issues with other mods, but the game instantly closes up when I boot it, no crash message or anything it just closes

[magic gyro]

don't know if is the main problem but you miss those 2

[covert obsidian]

where can i actually get those? im staring at the gamebanana site for framework but i cant find it

[magic gyro]

try serch "CRI" directly from reloaded

[covert obsidian]

According to this I have it downloaded already but it doesnt shows there

[magic gyro]

just hidden maybe

[covert obsidian]

Can i make it show somehow? or is it ok if its hidden?

[magic gyro]

is ok if is hiddem, is always acrive, even if tou don't see it

mods with the colored square are always active even if you don't see them

[covert obsidian]

I see, thats good to know, so if im not missing anything which mod could be making my game not boot at all?

[magic gyro]

go in the general mod list and type "SPD Emulator" see if you have it

[magic gyro]

inaba exe pather?

[covert obsidian]

i dont have that one

should i download it? i actually have no idea what it does

[magic gyro]

that one in knida important

[covert obsidian]

ty, got it, does it matter where it is placed?

or does it needs to be at the top?

[magic gyro]

is a system mod, place if high

it can be at bottom at all other system mod

mine is here

[covert obsidian]

under ryo framework got it

hmm it boot up, but its just a black screen

[magic gyro]

i write it down all the difference in our mods:

you don't have/is hidden:

• "BGME Battle theme" (only if you want custom battle music),
• "Persona 5 Royal Library" (is probably hidden),
• "SPD Emulator" (we know is hidden),
• "IO Store Emulator",
• "Flowscript Framework",
• "Inaba Exe Patcher" (you just downloaded)

go check if you have those

still said, i don't know what is the problem

those are the difference in our system mods, the problem may be related to other that is brakeing your game

[covert obsidian]

Its probably something else yeah, because my reloaded II is not working properly since this morning, when i go to the download mods thingy, theres no Persona 5 royal mods at all, just metaphor's, should i just re install reloaded II and clean up the mods folder? then download the mods again

i checked the mods i was missing, just IO store emulator

And the bgme battle theme

[magic gyro]

i suggest to reintall everything ye, it happened to me too some time ago

is knida boring but...

[covert obsidian]

wait i just installed IO store emulator and its working

[magic gyro]

cool

[covert obsidian]

thanks for the help, really appreciate it. I wish i knew what was making the game not working but i guess that somehow fixed it?

[magic gyro]

look, i know as much as you what was wrong here xD

just saw you didn't have something

[covert obsidian]

hehe, yeah but still ! thanks~

[magic gyro]

no prob.

[deep stirrup]

Hello, I was playing with the 0.9.7 build and I noticed that the Kasumi alt model won't work, not sure if I did something wrong or what

[magic gyro]

what alt model?

[deep stirrup]

The alt models mod made by Zylvos

[open gull]

The one on GB? That hasn't been updated to work with the new test build.

[magic gyro]

yeah they are not patched, you can download mine if you want, is not the same thou

[deep stirrup]

I was using it to play as Kasumi

[magic gyro]

you have to manually put what in that folder in the Wisteria mod costume folder

[deep stirrup]

brown haired Kasumi

[magic gyro]

my model use the alt as base, so the mask and the hair are those you want

[deep stirrup]

Awesome

thank you

[magic gyro]

just the color palet of the jacket is white and red

you can see thou

i guess

[deep stirrup]

Would it also have the dialogue portrait be brown hair and mole?

[magic gyro]

nope, that's just the model

[deep stirrup]

gotcha

[magic gyro]

note that is just the metaverse model

[deep stirrup]

I've been waiting for the Rose and violet story overhaul mod so im trying to do what I can

[magic gyro]

i'm having fun with this, how does it look?

[snow aspen]

Fancy

[open gull]

Oooooh nice, are you turning her into a bird?

[magic gyro]

ahahahah

trying to make a Venedis outfit

[open gull]

Ooooh alright!

[magic gyro]

just learning how to work on bander

[open gull]

From the looks of it, you probably know more than I do.

I've thought of a possible Halloween design for Sumi as a ghost/undead bride with an Ella-inspired outfit (since she missed out on P5D), but I really oughta sketch that sometime.

[magic gyro]

cool idea

it took me 2 days only for model a new mesh to attach to her

and hald a day to undertand how to apply the texture i made and not brake everything

but yeah

we can try

once i understnad how to do, is easy

[open gull]

I really get more into custom modeling.

I've managed to swap hair meshes, but I should get into sculpting and all that so I can get into custom outfits.

[bronze finch]

Nyx?

[magic gyro]

it knida look like, yeah.. xD

didn't thought about that

[magic gyro]

bone weight is hard.. daaaamn

[lean bough]

I would love for like a Nyx avatar outfit for Kasumi but that Vanadis outfit is looking good XD

[magic gyro]

dude, that just the learning process XD

[lean bough]

Still just saying.

It looks good

[supple moat]

turns out the joker over violet mod screwed me over.
Ella is now visible and all 3 back to being fool instead of faith

[magic gyro]

huge respect for who know do a good rig, i'm getting mad at this

that's the best i got...

[open gull]

Looks good!

[open gull]

Ooof. I'll have a look at the TBLs.

Oh yeah @short spade managed to get ahold of P5X and am currently digging through the files. Here are a few weapon assets which might interest you.
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1NYA-dlScM3lCVd-OSun6ddJOXQEGOD_z?usp=drive_link

I'll play around with it myself too when I get the chance.

[short spade]

Oh thanks a lot! I’ll have a look through these when I have time

I’m not familiar with most of the characters but should be interesting to look through them

[open gull]

Oh I don't know most of the characters either. I just picked out some swords.

[magic gyro]

doctor should be a dagger and sword user

frost has an axe

[open gull]

Really? I thought Frost had swords.

[magic gyro]

looks good but i'm not.. i want MOOOORE

[open gull]

At least, that's what they look like.

[magic gyro]

i could be wrong, i don't remember clearly

don't touch that game from months

[open gull]

I'll post whatever swords I find which have all their assets (textures, materials).

All the P5X files are sorted randomly in unlabeled package files. This must be what a mother tidying her teenage son's room feels like.

Even the heads are stored in completely separate packages from the bodies and hair.
Edit: Ack. Uninstalled P5X to save storage space and I accidentally deleted all the dumped files. Well at least I got what I came for.
Managed to find a few P5X model dumps on deviantart, which I'll play around with later.
https://www.deviantart.com/sasuke-bby/art/P5X-Seiji-Items-XPS-956448624
https://www.deviantart.com/sasuke-bby/art/P5X-Crow-Weapons-XPS-956451480
I kinda wanna use Seiji's rapier cuz one of the weapon names in the equipment patch is "Elegant Fleuret".
Though it could work for the Silver Rapier too (model 2)

[astral chasm]

the jacket is very cool! Love the feather as well

[zealous fjord]

I've fixed the animation for receiving the "platonic" chocolate during Valentine's Day

[ionic fulcrum]

Can’t wait for this to release

[zealous fjord]

Another fix for a sitting animation : phone animations during White Day dates (when the protag gets a phone call for the other romanced girls at the restaurant)

[wicked briar]

HI. I was just wondering, I am SUPER excited to play the Kasumi as Protagonist mod with how much better it's gotten is v0.2. And I'm even more excited for Rose and Violet. But what I was wondering is, is there anyway I could play what there is so far? I could be like a tester for you maybe? I just want to play them soo bad. 😄

Wait, there are test builds? Where?? 😄 Gimme please 😄

[wicked briar]

Thank you! 😄 -HUGS- Is there a test build for Rose and Violet as well or is that one something we all have to wait for? 🙂

[ionic fulcrum]

We’re waiting for it to be 90% done before we get a test version

Maybe late April or early May

[wicked briar]

Okay I need MAJOR help. Just put in the test build and started the game. And in the opening, at the Casino, why is she a giraffe? I'm assuming she's not meant to be all stretched out in the cutscene. Is it one of my other mods?

[ionic fulcrum]

Possibly

[wicked briar]

These are some mods I have.

Costume Framework
Kasumi as Protag - Alt Models
Kasumi as Protag - Better Run Animation
Kasumi as Protag - Story Overhaul
Kasumi Misc Animation Pack
Persona Essentials
Ryo Framework

[supple moat]

"please install custom framework and use the configure button to set joker's character to slot 1"

[wicked briar]

Also a bunch of Cheat Sheet mods, Morgana as a cat, Ann with her hair down.

[supple moat]

:3

[wicked briar]

How do I do that?

[magic gyro]

you have to select slot 1 in joker costume framework

oh you alerady told..

[supple moat]

just click on costume framework in reloaded and then there's a "configure mod" option

[supple moat]

for once I used my brain power 😂

[cyan sun]

Also I’m pretty sure alt models don’t work with the test builds

[wicked briar]

Should I disable any of those other Kasumi mods then?

[supple moat]

You can disable the alt models since they dont work with the test version

[wicked briar]

Okay. 🙂

Should I get rid of better run or Misc Animation pack as well or?

[supple moat]

Should be fine to keep

[wicked briar]

Okay. 🙂

That worked. 🙂 Her mask is black though. Before it was white. Is it supposed to be white or black?

[supple moat]

white would be the alt model

[wicked briar]

Ah okay.

The cutscene with her in jail at the start, are aspects still unaligned in the test build? Like floating stuff and all that. Just making sure it's just how things are and not another issue with one of my other mods.

[magic gyro]

yeah some cutescene is still a bit off in this version

[supple moat]

• Kasumi is too small for certain cutscenes

[open gull]

She's short. When she opens a chest with Ryuji, instead of patting her shoulder, he gives her a headpat.

[wicked briar]

lol

[bronze finch]

that would be cute

[wicked briar]

The utensils fly when she eats. Telekenisis. lol

[open gull]

The Misc Animation pack will be deprecated as of the 1.0 update since the test build already covers the same anims and more.

[wicked briar]

So I should get rid of it then? 🙂

[open gull]

I don't think it'll do anything since the test build has a different file structure, so sure.

[wicked briar]

Oh, I never asked, what about the story overhaul mod?

I have the Kasumi as Protag-Story Overhaul mod as well. Is that needed or is it deprecated as well?

[cyan sun]

That should still work as far as I’m aware

[stray sigil]

She looks like her date never arrived

[mighty snow]

It’s not needed but some new events wont work

The Bathhouse scene won’t play out correctly but unsure about Akechi Rank 6

[kindred comet]

sry for late response but ty! adding these

[kindred comet]

honestly im not sure since i never used it

[open gull]

New update for the Joker over Violet mod. This should fix the issue.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1h4Jv7KX_KSif_qRLALwdEnNOtaxmh47X/view?usp=sharing

[magic gyro]

what the placeholder option does?

[open gull]

I dunno. My guess is that it has something to do with Wisteria's plans for a story overhaul.

[magic gyro]

undertandable, ty

[kindred comet]

what did you change?

I never had any issues with the tbls

[ionic fulcrum]

I think they’re working with the person making Rose and Violet?

[kindred comet]

He?

And no, not at the moment

That placeholder is just there in case I decide to do anything with it

[supple moat]

had to disable the mod cause it was the reason for ella to not show up for me

🤷

now it's working again with the update

[kindred comet]

it shouldnt have been causing issues in the first place

tbf its not really meant for player use rn

but still

yeah i dunno what version you were using but its fine for me

anyways i really wouldnt recommend using that mod for now

it should work but i dont want issues from that mod clogging up the bug reports here, there's already enough false reports as is 😓

although i suppose this is a good reminder for me to throw it up on github

oh its already on github

i forgor

@open gull @dry igloo pinging you guys again with the github link for joker over sumi, if you can please fork it and create pull requests when modifying or adding new stuff, i'm probably going to miss any changes otherwise https://github.com/WisteriaSp/p5rpc.jokeroversumi

[open gull]

Ah alr. Just gotta figure out how githubby stuff works first.

The only change I made was editing the skillset TBLs to make them clean TBLs by removing the Cendrillon + Ella edits.

[deep stirrup]

Wasn't there something that changes from jokers battle ui to kasumi's?

[mighty snow]

That’s in the test builds

Which a lot of other bonuses

And “kasumi-fying” changes

[deep stirrup]

IM playing the latest testing, .9.8

her ui isn't showing during battle, its jokers

[mighty snow]

That’s strange then, I have no idea what could’ve been the cause of that

[shell wren]

Do you have any mods that modify the UI? Depending on load order they will overwrite the kasumi ui

[kindred comet]

oh i see

that wouldnt fix the issue

so it was probably just a very outdated build

anyways feel free to commit that and create a PR for it

github is pretty easy to use i think you can just use github desktop

personally i use git extensions but gh desktop might be easier to use

[deep stirrup]

Could I send what my load order looks like so if I need to make any adjustments

[cyan needle]

Question

Is there any way to change the opening of persona 5 royal to anything else?

Like a custom opening?

I'm currently majoring in animation and I figured as a side project I could maybe reanimate kasumi into the original persona 5 opening

Just before doing it i wanted to confirm if replacing the opening with a custom one is possible

@kindred comet

[bronze finch]

You'd probably be better off making a post to #1045463242765504552 since it'd catch more eyes that actually know how to do that. It is possible, but I dunno how personally

[kindred comet]

Yeah it's really easy, you just need to encode the video as a usm

[cyan needle]

If i can show a sample of it would you be interested in incorporating it into your kasumi mod?

[ionic fulcrum]

Why would be?

Unless it has to do with Kasumi?

And it was of high enough quality

[kindred comet]

Sure, idm!

[cyan needle]

Perfect, I'll send a sample of it within 2 weeks, probably sooner

[kindred comet]

awesome tysm!!!!!

[cyan needle]

No problem literally just got into persona 5 recently and I've been super into it

Been trying to learn the art style so hopefully it turns out well in animation form

[kindred comet]

that looks amazing! pretty much spot on

[magic gyro]

WOW

[magic gyro]

never been so satisfied of making boots

[magic gyro]

rigging done!

[lilac needle]

Oo are these gonna be for rose?

[magic gyro]

i don't know.. i'm doing Vanadis insipred outfit

we can implement in the mod if comes out good

i'm still learning thou so idk how will end be at the end

[mighty snow]

yes you should

[open gull]

Looks great! Seeing you at work makes me think I should get into the modeling scene myself.

[deep stirrup]

Starts from bottom right

[mighty snow]

honestly everything looks fine all I can suggest is getting 0.9.8 and see if it works then

[deep stirrup]

yeah

[mighty snow]

but btw the cbt kasumi mod should be below cbt but above the story overhaul

[honest charm]

Hello, i want to know the P5R : Rose & Violet - Story Overhaul mod current update is available?

[wicked briar]

Sadly they are waiting till it gets to 90 percent completion before putting anything out. I wish they weren't, I wanna play it SO bad...

[deep stirrup]

Same!!!!!

[wicked briar]

I think 80 percent is enough... Plus I'm starting a play through of P5 right now, I'd rather have Rose and Violet to play it with. But sadly I'm gonna have to start the game over in like a month when they maybe put it out. I mean I could wait to play it, but I really wanna play P5, so I'm stuck having to start over in a month...

[sonic finch]

90% is the point where Zylvos will be done with third semester though
so you'd be able to have an actual full playthrough with it
The progress has been remarkable

[wicked briar]

Yeah but I play very slowly. It'll take me several months to make it through the game. So I don't need the full playthrough right away. I could just update it as I go.

[astral chasm]

let's trust and wait, especially because comments like this can put pressure on them that they don't want to have ❤️

[honest charm]

You say that in one month aproximatly?

[supple moat]

0.4 "joker over Violet" from Joelcula

[kindred comet]

yeah that was the old old version

I think it probably included the visual tbl with Ella stuff

[kindred comet]

I think it's for the better, I'm not Zylvos but it'll be much easier to do bug fixes and stuff after it's complete as opposed to having testers go through an unfinished version and report things that could take away from developing 3rd semester

[deep stirrup]

I assume that once the rose and violet mod comes out, will it be available only to the full release of Kasumi protag?

[zealous fjord]

It'll work with the latest version of Wisteria's mod

[ionic fulcrum]

hows my loadout?

[cyan sun]

What version of reloaded is this?

[ionic fulcrum]

https://github.com/RyoTune/Reloaded-II.5/releases/tag/2.3.1

[halcyon ether]

Sorry if this sounds a little cheesy, but seriously kudos to wisteria and everyone else that worked on this mod. You guys seriously rock

That said, I hope you guys are taking breaks as well! Taking care of your health is more important than a mod

[kindred comet]

Thank you! And I definitely am, thank you for asking!!

[halcyon ether]

[cyan needle]

Not much but I JUST started it for the opening

Thankfully the beginning train section is super easy and I have the sketch complete

Ima slowly start doing the close face up and replacing joker with violet

@kindred comet How's this atm?

[ionic fulcrum]

Jesus Christ

[kindred comet]

looks really nice so far!!

[ionic fulcrum]

@kindred comet How’s my load out btw?

[kindred comet]

looks good but these arent needed anymore and constume framework should be at the very top

[magic gyro]

are u going to do full 2d or is only the sketch?

[cyan needle]

Full 2d

[magic gyro]

cool

[cyan needle]

Essentially I'm just sketching everything and once that's done outline it and then color it

Only reason I'm doing it is cause the op is simple enough to recreate due to it being limited in shading and color

[open gull]

Also, the extra ammo version is redundant if you're already using the gun overhaul.

[magic gyro]

what the gun overhaul does?

[open gull]

It bumps the number of gun rounds up from 8 to 10 and nerfs the stats to compensate.

[cyan needle]

Around 4 hours of work just for 3 seconds of rough animation

Ima continue tomorrow

At least I did a bit of the close up

[deep stirrup]

It looks good so far, amazing job

[magic gyro]

just realised you are drawing on mobile

[kindred comet]

youre killing it so far!!

[magic gyro]

Arbiter is me if i continued to try learn Atlus art style

i'm gonna focus on 3d things now

i still have to learn doing decent texture and shadow maps

[kindred comet]

finally doing the 3rd semester cutscenes

i think i have about 6 to go

[magic gyro]

how's this as basic idea?

[magic gyro]

did you fine any errors? i hope not

[kindred comet]

Looks cool!

[kindred comet]

Nope it works fine :)

[magic gyro]

i will try to model it now..

[kindred comet]

@grizzled crystal are you okay with me including your 2016 beta icons as a config option in the addon collection mod? the only difference is i swapped out joker's weapon icons for violet's

[grizzled crystal]

sure

[kindred comet]

ty!

[zealous fjord]

The dreaded coffee cup strikes back in Sumire showtime unlock. I've swapped the animation in the GAP with the one you've used for the Haru event and I've edited the event to change the coffee cup item number to the one you've edited (IT0133_030). There were a few Joker phone anim in the GAP so I've fixed them too. It's... adequate.

Also, I think you missed the fix I've made for the handshake during Mishima rank 10. Here the link to it:

[astral chasm]

it's funny to see how brown hair actually suits her more than her natural red. Love it!

[magic gyro]

working.. is damn hard

[deep stirrup]

So I do have a question

I know that Kasumi and Sumire are going to have similar costumes, but will they have some differences between them?

[open gull]

I believe Zylvos' story overhaul has its own thread now.
https://discord.com/channels/746211612981198989/1351304235320348683

[open gull]

Funnily enough, her Phantom Thief model actually has a different hair colour from the rest of her models. Its a noticeably deeper shade of red.

I edited the hair on that Yunaka model to use that more vibrant hair colour once I noticed. (The way the hair texture on the Yunaka model is formatted makes changing the hair colour very easy.)

[kindred comet]

Another cutscene down

ignore the Akira

[magic gyro]

that's Joker true desire, being Kasumi xD

[kindred comet]

Kasumi as Protag lore....

[willow prairie]

i noticed some details on pre-rendered cutscenes every time (protagonist) sumi confronts maruki; she looks utterly pissed with him without a mask

[magic gyro]

I think is the same expression that Joker has, never noticed though..

[covert obsidian]

Pardon me @kindred comet but is there any way to help you with the mod through testing it? I'm doing a 0-100% playthrough (without skipping cutscenes or dialogue) with your test version and I was wondering if this could be useful in any way. If not then sorry for the ping and can't wait for the final version, so far everything feels smooth except some very specific situations (like saving animation or crafting tools) but nothing really breaking

[willow prairie]

i’ve never seen the original version, thus i assume it’s the same.

[cyan needle]

Another progress update for the opening

Gotta do alot of work on the close up still but so far i got a decent of the beginning bit planned out

Still need to add the ribbon and pony tail but I got the general hair waving down

[lean bough]

Cool!

[cyan needle]

Drawing on an airplane is not easy

I hate being on them

[halcyon ether]

The fact that ur doing this not only on mobile and on an airplane is already amazing

[ionic fulcrum]

How are you doing this so god damn fast?

[cyan needle]

The animation is already there, it's just redrawing it as kasumi

If it was all original animation it'd be WAY harder

But thankfully that isn't the case

[kindred comet]

Atm just playing through it is really helpful as is, ty!!

[kindred comet]

BILLIONS CHEERED

[covert obsidian]

Got it

[cyan needle]

Gamers

I have the train section sketched out completely

Now it's just animating her jumping off to shibuya and summoning her persona

[magic gyro]

i thought we were going to steal something?

[cyan needle]

Ima start outlining this segment

And color it

[cyan needle]

Expect an update in uh

10 minutes

[ionic fulcrum]

10 MINUTES!?

[cyan needle]

@kindred comet

Just a sneak peak

I'ma take a break now

[deep stirrup]

I noticed that you have her Kasumi’s mole

[cyan needle]

Is she not supposed to have that? I forgor

She's not

Damn it

Oh well it's easy to fix afterwords

[kindred comet]

oh my god you're absolutely KILLING IT

this is amazing

thank you so much!!

[cyan needle]

Ima try and finish this before you send out the mod so that way you have a snazzy opening for the reveal and for the game

[kindred comet]

i appreciate it so much!!! take your time!!!

[deep stirrup]

No wait, you might be able to save it for the rose and violet mod, but if gets too much

[ionic fulcrum]

Dumb question, how long do you think it’ll take to redo the whole opening?

[cyan needle]

If i take my time, a month

There's only 5 scenes I need to redo

Joker coming down to the train which is this

The close up reveal

Joker jumping off the train

Redrawing arsene

And the very end

Where they ice skating

Oh and joker figure skating

So 6

6 total scenes

If I work like a Mapa employee

A week

[ionic fulcrum]

……

[kindred comet]

HBDFHSDBAFGDSHB

[deep stirrup]

Oof

[kindred comet]

PLEASE DONT OVERDO IT

[cyan needle]

But I'm doing this for free cause I like the mod so I'm managing my schedule lmao

[ionic fulcrum]

DO IT /j obviously

[cyan needle]

Sometimes I'm tempted

I just dedicated around 2 hours

A day give or take

Starting tomorrow I'm just coloring all the frames I've sketched

Next update will be the beginning section with all the animation with it

[kindred comet]

IM STILL LIKE IN SHOCK THIS IS ALREADY SO GOOD

[cyan needle]

Actually

Ima just do the beginning dab section rn

Gimme an hour

[cyan needle]

Ok so it maybe took longer than an hour

And now I take a break until tomorrow

@kindred comet

[wicked briar]

You win the internet this month

[kindred comet]

that looks AMAZING

genuinely looks official

amazing work :O

[magic gyro]

how do you marge new frames in the clip?

that's kinda interesting

[cyan needle]

Glad ya like it so far, hopefully the rest continues looking great for yall

[cyan needle]

Layers

I have the original video as refernece, sketch over it

[magic gyro]

now i wanna try that

[cyan needle]

Outline

[magic gyro]

super fun

[cyan needle]

Then color bam

[magic gyro]

gonne give it a try later, ty

just for fun

[magic gyro]

first mask idea shaped

[reef musk]

incredible

[ionic fulcrum]

Is this Kasumi?

[magic gyro]

3 shaped suit, it might be

[cyan needle]

It's actually the default animation but I left it in since it matches to her look as is already

If anything i might just add her thighs to be noticeable with white segments

[zealous fjord]

@cyan needle Great work already! ~~Just a heads up : you gave her the mole on the left eye, which Sumire doesn't have. Since you're clearly making the animation for her, you'll probably want to remove it (unless you want to make it for Kasumi... 👀 )~~Oops, you already saw that

[ionic fulcrum]

I mean, it would fit with story overhaul right?

[lean bough]

I find it interesting that arbiter is using the P5 opening rather than the Royal opening as a base. But it does fit, considering we technically no longer need the extra opening part to introduce sumi/a new royal character. Because, well Sumi is Protag now.

[magic gyro]

i think that's the exactly the point

[lean bough]

Yeah I’m just finding it interesting you know?

[magic gyro]

what's better?

maybe a way in between... the first one i think is too much skinny, what do you say?

[lean bough]

I kind of like the first one

[magic gyro]

yeah, i tried different ways but even if i think is too much skinny is the better one

[lilac needle]

Oo i like the first one

They look like opera gloves which is such a princessy staple lol

[open gull]

Yea I'd say the first one looks closer to Vanadis' original design.

[magic gyro]

kinda happy of what is coming out

[open gull]

Nice!

[magic gyro]

elbows gives some problems, it will take time to have the final work done

[lean bough]

It’s looking good!!!

Can’t wait to use it in this mod XD.

It would be so cool

As an alt outfit for Sumi.

[sinful kiln]

potential new design 👀

[magic gyro]

that's the design

[magic gyro]

i probably need to redo the jacket, i messed up the model a bit

[sinful kiln]

going for an all red getup

[wicked briar]

Dunno if this is known, but when Kasumi and Ryuji first use the navigation app on the 12th to turn the school into the castle, when it changes and we see the two of them from behind, the model there for that brief moment is Joker's not Kasumi's.

The moment when the view is zoomed in on them, when it changes to a zoomed out view it's Kasumi.

[kindred comet]

that's a completely pre-rendered cutscene, nothing i can do about it

[wicked briar]

Ah. Didn't know that. Okay. 🙂

[kindred comet]

yeah it'll happen during the shido cutscene too

since it uses pre renders for a few seconds

[deep stirrup]

Gotcha

[lean bough]

Pre-renders sound dumb.

[lyric topaz]

Are they the 2d animated pre rendered scenes or the in engine but still pre rendered scenes

[deep stirrup]

Well I finished my 4th ng+ with the Kasumi protag mod

[kindred comet]

3d pre rendered cutscenes

custom bonus tweaks gets rid of the pre-rendered cutscenes but a few (ryuji and protag going into metaverse and shido cutscene) are either pre-rendered or use pre-render snippets

[lyric topaz]

Do you know if their realtime variants exist or not,

[kindred comet]

if cbt doesn't unpre-render them then they probably don't have any I fear

or they do but don't look the same

[lyric topaz]

Ha cbt

I mean I've been looking to mod more games
I've made a mod restoring the realtime versions of scenes in a game before

I wouldn't mind looking to see if I can do something

[kindred comet]

well you'd have to ask deathchaos

but the answer is probably there aren't realtime versions

[lyric topaz]

Scared to ping them

But I kinda need to atst

[kindred comet]

@echo thicket

[lyric topaz]

Oh well there
Thanks m8

[kindred comet]

[deep stirrup]

Oh I wanted to say something

In Adam kadmon 2nd phase fight , the building that we’re on wasn’t there lol

We were fighting him in mid air lmao

[halcyon ether]

The building couldn't handle kasumi

[deep stirrup]

Fr

So op she didn’t need a place to stand

[kindred comet]

?

could you send a screenshot of it?

[deep stirrup]

Sorry

Didn’t get a screenshot

The building was just gone

[gray slate]

can anyone spare their entire mod loadout and order*? thanksssss <3

[wicked briar]

Found a model problem. In the scene where Ryuji and Kasumi are eating after Ryuji first unlocks his persona, a short bit into the scene, Kasumi's model all of a sudden goes kinda stock still and stretches a bit taller and just nods every so often. But like robot nodding.

[open gull]

Well she is a gymnast.

[cyan needle]

So anyways gamers

Somehow my app corrupted

And i lost progress on the animation :3

[magic gyro]

https://tenor.com/view/ahoklollmao-noooo-nooo-noo-no-gif-17139315586294057944

[cyan needle]

BUT i had the raw mp4 of it so I savalaged it

Wanna see a progress update?

[bronze depot]

si

[magic gyro]

yeah

[cyan needle]

Ok gimme 10 minutes to export it

I lied gimme another 5 minutes

Found an error

[magic gyro]

all our hope, lost forever

[cyan needle]

Next update it'll be this whole segment done

[zealous fjord]

Event is 135_002. It still uses Joker's anim for eating and has a position issue with her sitting animation. I don't have the weird nodding though

I'll try fixing the animation here

[deep stirrup]

Is using the embryo engine hard at all?

[zealous fjord]

Well, I'm just replacing animations with existing ones and maybe adjusting the position. That's a question you should ask Wisteria, they're doing all the work 👀

[deep stirrup]

Gotcha

[zealous fjord]

Here we go, without having to do event editing. I skip the dialogues, that's not the point of the video

[kindred comet]

embryo engine?

[kindred comet]

nice, i noted this one down but never got to it

adding it, tyvm!

[kindred comet]

https://tenor.com/view/damon-gant-this-fucking-peaks-ace-attorney-this-fucking-peaks-gif-14482253994064611434

the colors you picked are so gorgeous too AAAAAA 🥹 🥹 🥹

[deep stirrup]

So I decided to compile screenshots of the game by month, so I can put together screenshots for all of April that I find to be weird

[lean bough]

Well, all I can say is this mod is fun

I’m gonna do a whole run through when rose and violet releases too

[covert obsidian]

For me April went smoothly excluding generic skirt clips in animations, nothing really breaking. If I had to name the weird l ones I'd say during choosing my name in the prologue she literally had no face and the pen was floating, and when she craft tools she uses joker animation and the skirt is all over the place. (This one is funny because she looks like a gremlin). I have been writing down the ones from other months but nothing has broken the game

[kindred comet]

yeah the pen thing won't be fixed

I hate dealing with item animations 🥲

[echo thicket]

congrats, you've run into an exceedingly rare edge case bug/scenario from bonus tweaks that happens if you skip the event at a specific point (this is due to atlus hiding the building for some Adam camera shots, and because the event takes place in the same field as the battle it can carry over if you skip while its hidden)

[kindred comet]

[bronze depot]

[echo thicket]

that said you can actually restore the building visibility if this happens

some skills like Megidolaon completely hide the Battlefield when used

if you use one such skill, the building comes back when the entire area is restored after the skill use

[kindred comet]

Oh yeah deathchaos, nuggethead wanted to know if atlus left in files for that one ryuji and protag entering kamoshidas castle cutscenes and those parts of the shido cutscene that use pre renders

I assume not but couldn't hurt to ask anyway I suppose

[echo thicket]

idk
I hope this helps

[kindred comet]

https://tenor.com/view/fire-book-fire-book-dies-fire-book-falls-over-fire-book-falls-dies-cringe-gif-7295403596432690175

[echo thicket]

didn't even know that scene was pre-rendered, what an odd thing to do

[kindred comet]

yeah it's a pretty random one

I'm pretty sure you can actually see some debug text if you remove the borders too lmao

[echo thicket]

the Satanael scene was done for performance reasons (because the game was on PS3)

no idea why the adam scenes got done like that

[kindred comet]

they do it for all of them?? I thought they'd just do it for the last one tbh

[echo thicket]

all 3 of them yeah

[kindred comet]

[echo thicket]

the whole sumi "mahou shoujo" transformation sequence is also a pre-render video, but that one is like 3 different evts edited together iirc

[wicked briar]

Sure this isn't the right place for this probably, but funny story I just felt like sharing. I first purchased P5 when it originally came out for the first time, and I played like 5 minutes of it, and that's it. lol. Then I didn't play Persona 5 again till a first played Persona 5 Royal about a year or so ago. lol. Playing it made me wish I'd done so from the beginning.

[deep stirrup]

is the misc animation pack obsolete as of .9.8.1

[zealous fjord]

It's obsolete as of the current test build (0.9.8.1)

[deep stirrup]

okay, just had to make sure

[cyan needle]

@kindred comet so sort of a compromise

i decided for the scene where joker is dancing, id just re edit and color fix kasumi dancing from persona 5 royal

is that fine?

[kindred comet]

yea! whatever makes it easier

[cyan needle]

less work on my end, id just have to draw the transition between her and ryuji

bet

ima still redraw over joker at the very end

cause theres nothing that can replavce that

[cyan needle]

Ok sending another update

Still have a ton of work to do but I'm almost done with the train, did some recoloring on kasumi dancing in the royal opening to match the art style in p5

Amd drew a transition between the opening logo and kasumi dancing

Amd also remixed the opening so that the ending is different slightly

[cyan needle]

@kindred comet ok heres a rough draft of how the rest of the opening will go. Everything that has joker left over is what Im gonna reanimate as kasumi

and lemme know if youre fine with how i re edited the opening around the part where morgana turns into his metaverse self

and i still gotta recolor kasumi dancing to match the flat color aesthetic

so that royals art style doesnt clash

Like this

[kindred comet]

oooo THATS AMAZING

i love the transition from sumi to ryuji so much its so smooth

you're absolutely cooking

also i love the transition to her dancing in the rain

[cyan needle]

Yup I had to basically green screen the original opening and remove the streets so that it transitioned well

I'm glad it came out well

Rn I'm kinda just jumping around scenes but I have some of this done

Just REALLY trying to finish this so that you can use it for the full release trailer

[ionic fulcrum]

The skirt should have an outline imo, kinda hurts my eyes (may be better in motion idk)

[cyan needle]

It actually does lol

Just that the outline is black, and the skirt is comprised of black so it is what it is

But in motion it'll look better

[cyan needle]

I come bearing good news to anyone looking here

It's loading gimme uh

A minute

75%of it is rendered

Just wwaaaiiitttiiinnggg

Sending

BAM

The entire final segment with joker is animated

[bronze finch]

[pallid plover]

that's awesome holy shit

[cyan needle]

All that's left is the close up shot at the end of the train, kasumi jumping off the train, summoning cendrillion and the recoloring of her dancing in royal

After that the mod now has a fully dedicated opening for kasumi as the main protagonist

[kindred comet]

yeah so we will be sending you $300000 billion immediately

IT LOOKS SO GOOD AAAA

[cyan needle]

All i humbly request is credit for the opening in the mod page

[kindred comet]

Of course!! Thats the least I could do

Tysm!!!!

[cyan needle]

And $300000 billion dollars

[kindred comet]

ON IT BOSS

[cyan needle]

Just realized, all of this was done in less than a week

[magic gyro]

and me is still working on the model, what a lame i am

[cyan needle]

Nah i have a whole animation for reference

It's basically just me adding a wig and boobs to joker

Modeling is a whole different story

[magic gyro]

i have a referance too..

my drawing

[cyan needle]

And usually requires either working from scratch or importing and rigging a ton of stuff

Yeah but I just know vertextes are a bitch and uv mapping so don't call yourself lame smh

It's alot of work
