(P5R PC) Kasumi as Protagonist

[sick elm]

So I have been playing through with the mod and after clearing the setup for Madarame's palace, the game will cod upon trying to exit the palace

Is this my game just being fucky wucky cause I installed it mid-playthrough or an unexpected bug?

[serene scroll]

oh i had that issue in the final palace too for some reason

and it was in 1 specific day too

[kindred comet]

cod?

make sure you have custom bonus tweaks installed

[fallow lily]

didn't happen to me though

I only installed kasumi protag costume framework no crowd npc

and I saw one of you have these many kasumi mods installed wouldn't it cause conflict

[serene scroll]

I assume she means crash

[fallow lily]

https://gamebanana.com/wips/75092

I personally think that this is the only you should install along with costume framework and thats it

[sick elm]

sorry meant ctd

[sick elm]

and she

[serene scroll]

oh my bad

[sick elm]

all gucci my sushi

[serene scroll]

i usually check profiles for pronouns before sending messages but i just forgot this time 😭

[sick elm]

Oh lemme get this and see if it happens again

[fallow lily]

is this gonna be included for palace outfit

[sick elm]

So I just realized that the test build has options for the weapons patch and the personas for Kasumi... would the individual mods be considered redundant and safe to remove if I enable the test builds options?

[covert obsidian]

I'm pretty sure I don't have any of those and still work

[sick elm]

coolio

[covert obsidian]

Yeah just checked and I don't have any of those, just Kasumi as protag, she/her and voice patch

[sick elm]

Good to know, time to clean up the mods a bit then

[covert obsidian]

I just pressed this and it worked so u should be fine?

[sick elm]

Yeah I tested it just now, Cendrillion still equipped and I have sumi's equipment

[covert obsidian]

[rain tangle]

If you want Sumis 10 gun rounds you could download the ammo patch for the equipment off gamebanana too, but I'm pretty sure it'll be fixed in the next update but I could be wrong

[kindred comet]

its not a bug so i wouldnt say fixed

but it will be an option in the addon collection mod

[echo thicket]

@kindred comet ryuji holds the phone backwards if i use this mod lol

bro flipped it 180 degrees up

in any case

[kindred comet]

did they make him use joker's phone??

oh my god YAYYY they use joker's idle

i had a feeling that cutscene did but im glad theres confirmation

also the phone thing is an easy fix i can just edit that evt

[echo thicket]

I think that one is event 128_003

[lunar cobalt]

Ok so... sorry in advance cuz I'm probably just stupid/asking in the wrong place but I'm struggling lmfao. My game keeps crashing every time I try to switch out party members. I'm only using this mod + stuff for it, voice over mod and she/her pronouns mod. I've been trying to figure out what's causing it but nothing works so far

[zealous fjord]

It's an issue with Costume Frameworks. It only crashes for me when swapping party members at the entrance of a palace. Try again in a safe room (or before entering the palace)

I reported the issue yesterday on the Discord thread, but I still need to report it on the github

[lunar cobalt]

Cool! Thanks 🥰 thought I was doing something wrong lol

[pale flower]

I was lurking here for a while and just want to come out and say wooow. Remember when it was said this cutscene couldn’t be Kasumi-fied. Thank you all so much for your hard work you've done up until now and the future. Appreciate you all, you made a mere pipe dream a reality!

[stray sigil]

Maybe that's just how he likes to use his phone, don't judge him

[swift ether]

Finishing up my first playthrough as beta femc which is also my first ever playthrough. Plan to do next playthrough as Kasumi although I was curious || spoiler check||

Does the story play theough normal like because oh that makes the || thrid semester where sumire is pretending to be Kasumi all the more Fascinating when You as the protagonist are permanently Kasumi! Like if you take it beyond just a really wonderful mod it makes 3rd semester even more intriguing as there are 2 Kasumis with different history and prsonalities ||

TLFR: Amazing mod both visually and even just what it does for those of us who create stories from mods. thank you I am excited for the next build!

[cyan sun]

No story changes in this mod
You’ll want to look here

https://discord.com/channels/746211612981198989/1351304235320348683

[swift ether]

Arigato. Should be a fascinating run.

And I am excited to try r and v when they release the beta too

[swift ether]

I think Wisteria has really done something special here and once the beta for rose and violet releases I may even try my hand at text modding but I havent coded since my teens so enjoying the ride is also fun!

[barren temple]

rose and violet will be released after this mod here is released as version 1.0 , because it was created to go with this mod here

[rain tangle]

I believe Wisteria said they were gonna work on their own story overhaul after this, and the Joker over NPC Sumi mods are both done as well

[late badge]

I jump in excitement and patience

take your time and we'll wait wisteria, no worries

[earnest oracle]

Hey yo check this out, my buddy PSed this to support you

[ionic fulcrum]

YO!?

[swift ether]

Great news!!

I think Chlorophyll's mod may be compatible for Japanese voice lines and possibly more. I have only checked the english and Japanese boxes but not the main mod (just in case they are connected) and had all the Kasumi mods load after chlorophyll's without the Kasumi voice patch. I play in Japanese so havin Japanese Kasumi is nice. It could also crash in Kamoshida's palace. or mementos or... my game crashes a lot so take this with a grain of salt as one girl is 40 minutes in with Ryoma Kurayami(Yoshizawa's assumed name)

(interetesting enough the Kasumi mod itself loaded easier than any other mod I have if I dont fiddle with it)

[kindred comet]

Pre-release #1 build in the next few days 🤞

[kindred comet]

Sometimes I wish P5R models were more modular like P3D/P5D/P3R, it would be nice to have a glasses option without heavily inflating the mod size

I'll just leave this up for someone else to do if they want to

[willow prairie]

wait, so compressions are no-go for p5r or what?

i feel lost there...

[lean bough]

oh? Is this a new test build?

[lean bough]

I can't wait @kindred comet your mod is already really good XD

[covert obsidian]

Is this picture from Eiji_Nochi?

[earnest oracle]

Yep,original picture indeed

[sick elm]

Kasumi Yoshizawa meet Kasumi Yoshizawa ( i cant wait for R&V )

[urban anvil]

student called yoshizawa

[kindred comet]

Looping songs by hand is kind of an art form I've had to do like 15 of them so far

[echo thicket]

you do it by hand?

[kindred comet]

Yes

I know there's pyaudiolooper but I couldn't get it to work the first time I tried it

Weak aura anyway

[echo thicket]

but its so easy!

i used it for wwise stuff

(wwise is hell)

[kindred comet]

Ewww wwise

[kindred comet]

Pre-release build should be coming tonight, if all goes well then I can do a full release soon 🤞

[covert obsidian]

Can't wait !!

[late badge]

what's the difference pre-release build and full release be?

[rapid pine]

Likely test for all

[kindred comet]

These are essentially the full release builds, I just need them to be tested

[rain tangle]

The pre-release for us'll probably be just for us to test it out and find any missed things like physics for anims or Joker anims missed, while the full release is for everyone

[rain tangle]

Yeah this

[late badge]

i see i see thank you

[kindred comet]

It's finally here! It's been a long 2 months, I hope you all enjoy!

I recommend completely deleting the old version and installing this one fresh.

Since this pre-release is now out, I will accept animation reports once again - however be aware that I won't fix minor clipping and I might not fix some animations! I won't be fixing the arm on the grappling hook anims either since I would basically have to reanimate the arm. Also the Maruki calling card is a little weird I might fix that at some point Im just lazy :P
Also I still need to fix BF/BMD merging breaking on non EFIGS languages... I'll have to research that at some point

One last thing please avoid posting about the new opening! I want to include it in the trailer and it would make for a great reveal!

If your config screen is crashing:
Open your Reloaded-II folder, find the User folder, then click Mods, find the p5rpc.kasumiasprotag folder, click into it and delete the Config.json file. Restart Reloaded

And just to note, Zylvos will have a version of the alternate hairstyle mod for R&V

[late badge]

WE EATING GOOD TODAY

[rain tangle]

Ngl that long hair option might look even better with glasses 🙏

[kindred comet]

That would have to be done by someone else or MyTamagos, it would bloat the mod size too much unfortunately (and there's a lot of models :P)

[stone ibex]

i wonder if it compatible with a few of the mod im using

[kindred comet]

Unfortunate side effect of P5R using full models instead of modular ones like Dancing and P3R (they have the body, face, and hair meshes all separated)

[kindred comet]

It should be, if the last test build worked without any issues then this one should work too

[stone ibex]

nice
gonna go play it with progressive arsene

[kindred comet]

Progressive Arsene shouldnt be needed

[stone ibex]

oh right
not using arsene

eh i mostly edit the skill there

[rain tangle]

Finally have something to do until the switch 2 drops 🔥

[stone ibex]

so i probably can just edit a new persona.tbl

[kindred comet]

Well its moreso that a version is already built into the config menu

[stone ibex]

question
does it still use default confidant or a whole new confidant list?

[kindred comet]

iirc its like progressive arsene where it stays relevant the entire game

[rapid pine]

Is there a config for the battle music or is it just stuck tk the strikers music

[kindred comet]

vanilla, adding or changing confidants is out of the scope of this mod (and would be a lot of work)

[earnest wave]

Question, is long hair an addon mod or just a seperate version of the base mod?

[kindred comet]

my mod doesnt change the battle music

[rapid pine]

Swell I have no idea what's doing ittttt

[kindred comet]

It's an addon mod

[stone ibex]

nice
so my cheatsheet mod still work

gonna have some fun tonight

[kindred comet]

Probably custom bonus tweaks

You can disable it from the config menu in reloaded

[stone ibex]

hmm
since we playing as violet from the start
i guess i have to disable my early violet mod

[kindred comet]

You can keep it on if you want, I haven't messed with party member sumire at all so it should work

Kasumi as Protag Pre-Release 1

This file has been shared with you on pixeldrain

[kindred comet]

Bumping this so it doesnt get buried 🤞

[earnest wave]

should pin it

[stone ibex]

wait
i can have 2 violet in the team?

oh wait
my brain hurt from name

[kindred comet]

Yes, this is a visual only mod for the protagonist - you need other mods if you want to change party member sumire

[rain tangle]

Question, is the voice overhaul still needed? I remember you saying about still needing it for something a long time ago

[kindred comet]

Yes

[stone ibex]

so we have sumire
kasumi

[rain tangle]

Alright, ty!!

[stone ibex]

yeah
definitely not gonna hurt my brain

wait
is there any obsolete sub mod?

[earnest wave]

Usually just those who were seperate then later added to the main mod

like before the main mod restarted

[kindred comet]

Equipment patch on gamebanana and misc animation pack are not needed anymore

[stone ibex]

yeah
im asking which sub mod it is

[stone ibex]

ok
thanks

so the rest is still useable

[earnest wave]

The Cendillion mods

[rain tangle]

Already found an issue and I haven't opened the mod

[kindred comet]

anyways if it's a Kasumi as Protag mod from gamebanana it's probably not needed anymore UNLESS it's Voice Patch

[kindred comet]

is the config menu crashing

[rain tangle]

Yup

[kindred comet]

are you using ryos fork

[rain tangle]

No idea

[stone ibex]

download the prerelease
then download all the other submod from gamebanana

[kindred comet]

you dont need the other submods unless its voice patch

[kindred comet]

if it looks like this then it is

[stone ibex]

so only voice patch submod

nice

[kindred comet]

in that case its a simple fix

[kindred comet]

oh huh

i thought it was fixed in the new version

If your config screen is crashing:
Open your Reloaded-II folder, find the User folder, then click Mods, find the p5rpc.kasumiasprotag folder, click into it and delete the Config.json file. Restart Reloaded

[rain tangle]

Fixed ty!

[sick elm]

So to install the test build, we just nuke the one we currently have installed and then install the latest one, correct?

[kindred comet]

Yes

[sick elm]

[urban anvil]

just in time for graduation i have unlimited free time

[kindred comet]

I think I zipped them wrong lmao idk why theres a / in the name but it should still work

[stone ibex]

new overhaul mod right after school holiday is like 1 of the best gift

[urban anvil]

+100 hours to my p5r playtime

[rain tangle]

What song does the new mini boss music replace? I don't want any other song mods I have to break

[kindred comet]

none yet

[rain tangle]

Ah

[kindred comet]

but it would be keeper of lust

[rain tangle]

Okay then

[kindred comet]

its just a dummy option for now

[cyan needle]

Thank you so much, it was awesome being able to contribute to this amazing mod

[kindred comet]

You're the one I should be thanking!!! Thank you so much for making the beautiful opening!!

[stone ibex]

just to make sure

all of this is not needed now right?

[rain tangle]

Guessing the CBT outfits patch with the long hair isn't need either alongside all of those

[stone ibex]

cant really find the voice patch
unless it's referring to she/her joker voice or other voice mod

[kindred comet]

None of those are needed, alternate models wont work with the test build and bustup pack probably wont

[kindred comet]

Should be here https://gamebanana.com/sounds/73909

[stone ibex]

weird
i literally just type "kasumi" for the advance filter

and it did not show that at all

[kindred comet]

might be because its in sounds

[stone ibex]

probably

yeah
definitely

i did the filter is mods

guess voice patch is not considered mod

[sick elm]

Game loading fine, just curious as to whether my mod list/order is bloated or redundant in any way

[stone ibex]

nice mod

me looking at my list of cheat mod

[kindred comet]

Looks good to me, I just wouldnt recommend using Mod Menu in a regular playthrough

[sick elm]

Yeah I had it on just to mess with a few things rq, it is normally disabled

[rapid pine]

Just to make sure I'm reading the error correctly, force joker name is required?

[kindred comet]

Yeah, its a dependency now

[rapid pine]

Okay

[kindred comet]

If you don't want it on you can either edit the modconfig for protag sumi or edit the Force Custom Protag Name config inside of reloaded and replace the name fields with the one you have ingame

[calm compass]

It’s amazing to finally see all the work come together! Huge thanks to @kindred comet for leading this amazing project, and for letting me contribute with some pieces and the long hair variation. It’s been a lot of work, and we put a lot of care into every detail! Big thanks also to @zealous fjord who has been a huge help and really made a difference throughout the process! And of course, thanks to everyone else who contributed to making this project possible 🧡

[lunar oxide]

Hi so i've been trying to get the mod to run as well as open the config menu, but like what Rin was reporting earlier it keeps crashing. I tried the fix Wisteria mentioned but unless im deleting the wrong file it's not working, it either deletes the mod from Reloaded entirely or replaces it with the original 0.2 version

[rapid pine]

Meanwhile I'm stuck as Joker with only his beta and gekko outfits

[rain tangle]

Costume Framework switch Joker to slot 1

❤️‍🩹

[kindred comet]

I'm not sure whats going on there but just fully delete the folder and the old version and try again, also make sure your reloaded is on the latest version

[lunar oxide]

Alright, i'll keep trying XD worse comes to worse I can just wait till the full release

[stone ibex]

is it save file compatible between mod version?

[kindred comet]

yeah

[stone ibex]

nice

[rapid pine]

Bless you

[urban anvil]

doing this makes the mod not show up in my mod list ??

[kindred comet]

Reopen reloaded

There isn't really another way of fixing it crashing unless you manually edit the json, which is easy but it's easier to just delete it

[urban anvil]

i think its bc im on steam deck it doesn't think im reopening it properly and its not doing anything

[kindred comet]

I wouldn't know then

Just try reinstalling it

[urban anvil]

:P

[kindred comet]

If it's still not working just manually extract the zip into your mods folder

[urban anvil]

thats what i do

[kindred comet]

Oh well drag and drop the zip into reloaded instead

I reuploaded the zip files so if you're still having issues try redownloading them and then dragging and dropping the zip into reloaded-ii

[stray sigil]

What's kasumiaddonmod

In the download page

[kindred comet]

• Created an Addon Collection companion mod, featuring costumes from community members, an expanded weapon models option, more configs, and a Sumire Overhaul option

[stray sigil]

Oh, ok!

Sorry if you've answered this a million times

[stone ibex]

hmm
so violet or kasumi is using cendrillon/vanadis
same as sumire

so we technically gonna have 2 cendrillon/vanadis in the team

[rain tangle]

Plus Ella which overrides Satanael I believe

[stray sigil]

I keep being unable to open the Configs

[rain tangle]

Joker will be able to replace npc Sumi whenever that is done as well which is peak af

[stray sigil]

Both for the main mod and the Addons

[rain tangle]

Is it crashing?

[stray sigil]

Aye

[kindred comet]

idk why thats happening, is your reloaded up to date

[rain tangle]

Refer to this if crashing

[stray sigil]

Oh, yeah

But I can't find one config.json

[kindred comet]

Delete the entire folder then

Although idk why the addon mod would be crashing

[stray sigil]

Wait, is it ModConfig?

[kindred comet]

No it would be Config.json

Can you screenshot your folder?

[stone ibex]

who ella?

and satanael got overrided?
i thought it wont cause of the immense story significant

[kindred comet]

Just the ng+ one iirc

[rain tangle]

Sumis 3rd Semester Persona

You get it on 2/1 I believe

For maxing her confidant beforehand

[lunar oxide]

I actually did manage to fix the mod, I found the config.json file by right clicking the mod in reloaded ii, clicking user config then clicking Open Folder

[kindred comet]

You're in the wrong place

[kindred comet]

If your config screen is crashing:
Open your Reloaded-II folder, find the User folder, then click Mods, find the p5rpc.kasumiasprotag folder, click into it and delete the Config.json file. Restart Reloaded

Video below

DON'T DELETE ModConfig.json IN THE ACTUAL MOD FOLDER

[stone ibex]

lol

damn
fe3h background

[kindred comet]

ignore that it crashes

thats just a reloaded ii remix bug

[rain tangle]

When I say overridden I mean the usable persona in the compendium, not the actual one in the Yaldabaoth cutscene

[stone ibex]

oh

eh
probably just gonna fuse arsene and use it

so that i dont need to break sumire's persona

[kindred comet]

it wouldnt break

its just arsene with a skillset edit and model swap

[stone ibex]

i like feeling op
so i usually buff/change a persona's skill/skillset
i am afraid (kinda) that by changing cendrillon's skill (for kasumi)
it might accidentally make sumire super op as well
(which i refer as breaking)

[stray sigil]

Got it, thank you!

[stone ibex]

oh
so kasumi's persona is just a reskin arsene (on technically term)?

[kindred comet]

with a custom skillset yeah

[stone ibex]

nice
gonna disable the custom skillset

and probably fool around with my own custom arsene skillset

[kindred comet]

👍

[stone ibex]

wait
i can disable the custom skillset in the config right?

[kindred comet]

yes

its a config option

[stone ibex]

nice

funny rebel build
here i come

[jade fractal]

Was about to go to sleep then I saw this

I have now been summoned for another 8hrs of persona 5

[stone ibex]

no
go back to sleep
play it after you get rest

wwwwwww

seriously
why do people rather sacrifice sleep?

[rain tangle]

Real!1 Sleep matters. 🙏

(i cant be talking i stay up drawing for my commission job)

[halcyon ether]

stares in anime boston yeah I cant play yet-

[stone ibex]

eh
some sleep is better than no sleep

[covert obsidian]

Just wanted to say cool background, sorry

[late badge]

looks like the phone is still backwards

and it's still pre-renders for this scene? maybe i put something wrong...

[stone ibex]

ok
that funny

[kindred comet]

cbt hasnt updated yet

anyways remind me to fix the phone thing tomorrow i kept forgetting to do it 😛

[stone ibex]

me looking at different timezone

i mean

[kindred comet]

i was talking to lazuli 😓

[stone ibex]

i mean
i can also help

problem is timezone

[manic cedar]

sorry for not being able to finish the portraits I was doing for this mod and Zylvos' one. Had a major burnout midway and I have yet to recover from it. Irl stuff, though they are slowly dying down. Will get back to it asap.

[kindred comet]

It's okay! Please take your time!

[late badge]

[kindred comet]

Bumping this again, hopefully for the final time since things have quieted down a bit here

Just in case anyone missed it

[uneven finch]

congratulations

[tiny storm]

agh any ideas?

[urban anvil]

try this

[tiny storm]

oh nah updating reloaded ii fixed it!

but I did follow that alr haha the config was indeed crashing

[urban anvil]

doing that fixed my version of this lol

[buoyant mantle]

i think i did something wrong XD

[kindred comet]

Make sure you download costume framework and configure it in reloaded-ii, joker's asset slot should be set to 1

[urban anvil]

My game crashed when attempting to clean my room at the start

[kindred comet]

Hey, do you still play in Chinese Simplified?

[kindred comet]

Can you send your crash log

[urban anvil]

where would that be 😅

[kindred comet]

Open up Reloaded-II and go to the main page

Or click the icon with a single gear

Then click the View Log Files button

After that send the latest one here

[urban anvil]

hope this is it it wont tell me time created

no this isnt it

[kindred comet]

Strange

idk what would be causing it, I'll try and check myself later

Was it just when you went to clean up the room?

[buoyant mantle]

ty i just saw i forgot about that

[urban anvil]

yea Im about to try again in a bit

i didnt save lol

[earnest oracle]

yep

I haven't played the updated version released today yet

[kindred comet]

Awesome, I'm going to try and add basic support for Chinese so hopefully it won't break if you have the BF/BMD options enabled

Although to be honest I think simplified chinese is flat out broken in atlus script tools

[urban anvil]

I'll try with just the prerelease mod to see if its one of my other mods

[kindred comet]

I have no idea what could be causing that :/

[kindred comet]

Yeah from the looks of it it's just broken in AST

So I can't really fix it on my end

At least until AST gets updated

I submitted the bug report on the github repo so hopefully it'll be investigated 🤞

[urban anvil]

good news its not your mod

[kindred comet]

Okay good 😅 I don't have any early game (pre metaverse) saves so I would have to play up to that point to test it

[urban anvil]

i have no clue what it would be tho probably one of the major change ones

[uneven finch]

Sorry to ask but does anyone have any idea what is causing this?

[urban anvil]

old versions config is different or something

[uneven finch]

I think I did it

thank you

ok maybe not

Now I get this?

I have no idea what im doing

[earnest oracle]

Uh, why is the name on my side always Kasumi Yoshizawa instead of the one I set myself? I can't find the switch to adjust it.

[stone ibex]

isnt that from like
the custom/forced name mod?

[earnest oracle]

No, I haven't even opened that mod

[echo thicket]

you forgot the animations i sent you too!

she just stands there frozen in place floating lol

[stone ibex]

dance outfit

[rapid pine]

This really feels like this is how p5 was meant to be

[stone ibex]

having an established character truly make it different than having a blank state

oh wait
i wonder how the story overhaul gonna change the opening setting

[solar comet]

I'm having an issue where clicking the config button gives me this error

also game just doesn't want to launch

[serene scroll]

the default name for that mod is kasumi yoshizawa

even if you didn't open the config for it, it's still set as that

[zealous fjord]

#1094412112576651314 message

[earnest oracle]

so how to fix this problem?It's really strange that an English name pops up in a Chinese Simplified text.

[serene scroll]

you can open the mod config and manually change the name

[earnest oracle]

However, in Chinese and Japanese, the surname should come before the given name,so this is still very strange

[zealous fjord]

Or don't use the Force Custom Name mod if you're playing in Chinese. It's to bypass the character limit in english. I don't know if chinese text has the same issue in regards to this

[earnest oracle]

I really didn't use this mod, but it was still changed to English name

[wooden tendon]

hello
i got this error , did i do something wrong ?

[sick breach]

i got that as well 😭

[rapid pine]

I'm not sure if anything can be done about it but the pt sprite is a touch blurry

[faint flint]

so how to fix it 🤔

[covert obsidian]

How did you fix this?

[covert obsidian]

It actually tells you what's the issue right? You are (apparently) missing the force custom name

Had that issue before, installed the force custom name and I'm not getting that issue anymore- just another prob

[wraith juniper]

Wisteria

If your config screen is crashing:
Open your Reloaded-II folder, find the User folder, then click Mods, find the p5rpc.kasumiasprotag folder, click into it and delete the Config.json file. Restart Reloaded

Jump

[Go to message!](#1094412112576651314 message)

[urban anvil]

it was this

for me

[stone ibex]

finish all the necessary mod

time to try it

what is p5r.enchance.tbl dependency?

[faint flint]

thanks it worked

🐐

[covert obsidian]

[stone ibex]

anyone?

[zealous fjord]

Oh yeah, it seems that Wisteria made the Force Custom Name mod a dependency

[stone ibex]

yeah
huh?

[zealous fjord]

Well, it seems it doesn't want to download CBT automatically. You can find it on GB

https://gamebanana.com/mods/432481

[zealous fjord]

I think it's Custom Bonus Tweak, both have "p5r.enhance" in their mod id

[stone ibex]

sure hope it is

[zealous fjord]

You should probably download the latest version from GB manually

[stone ibex]

816mb

[covert obsidian]

Any idea why this happen?

First time ever I get this issue

[sick breach]

got that as well

[covert obsidian]

Hmmm

I think I kinda fixed it

[zealous fjord]

Hum, it mentions "SpdMerger". Do you have SPD emulator?

[covert obsidian]

Yes

But something super weird happened, I made sure I downloaded the pre release version and that I removed old versions, but in reloaded II the pre released was showing as 0.2 test version so I removed it

I'm not having that issue anymore- but now this is popin, just gotta remove the config right?

[stone ibex]

truly a funny situation

[zealous fjord]

Yeah, it's the config. Reverting to a version before that pre-release build will do that

[covert obsidian]

I see

I checked Wisty's clip to know where's the file is located again but for some reason I'm missing that folder

Did I mess up the whole thingy

[willow prairie]

it's probably due to the sprite's resolution

[zealous fjord]

It should just be Reloaded-II\User\Mods\p5rpc.kasumiasprotag

[late badge]

floating sumi....

[willow prairie]

you might wanna pin this as well, just in case

[covert obsidian]

Thanks, I was blind I had to use the search thingy. I did that, no errors so far but my game is just either a black screen on startup or it instantly crashes now, maybe bad mod order? or something clashing

[zealous fjord]

Maybe the reloaded log can tell what's crashing the game

Looking at your load order, at least, I can see you're using the old version of my alternate model mod. It won't work with the new test builds of Wisteria's mod

Go to "View Log files" for crash logs

[covert obsidian]

I disabled the alternate model mod and it wasn't going through the black screen either so I guess that wasn't the issue- I decided to turn off the heist rebalance mod and the game started so there's probably a mod clash there?

Nvm, it goes through black screen with the heist rebalance mod now for some reason

So I have no idea what happened

[zealous fjord]

It could be another mod that's causing this

Maybe Inaba patcher? I don't know that mod

[covert obsidian]

I got Inaba patcher recommended because I was having this exact issue a month ago or so, but since some time have pass and there have been ton of updates I prob don't need anymore

If I get the black screen issue again Ill try turning that one off to see if I go thru that screen consistently

[rapid pine]

Anyone know what mod would be causing what you wish for to play instead of Take over? Always thought it was this mod as it was playing when I was only using this and the story overhaul mod and I can't find the source

[zealous fjord]

Looking at your load order, I don't see any mod that would require Inaba patcher. At least, none have it as a dependency

[zealous fjord]

It's Custom Bonus Tweaks

[rapid pine]

So there's no turning it off then?

[covert obsidian]

Then I should be fine removing inaba patcher, got it thanks !!

[zealous fjord]

Disable Combat BGM Enhancement

[swift ether]

That is wonderful news! I am finishing the game as the Beta Femc but... I just met Ryuji's persona as Ryoma(The name Kasumi calls herself in my non ng plus playthrough) Its a really different experience playing as her!

[zealous fjord]

Well, I can't be entirely sure of that, but worth a try

[rapid pine]

At least I know I'm not crazy now the option doesn't exist for me

[zealous fjord]

What's your version of CBT?

[rapid pine]

2.1.3

[zealous fjord]

Yeah, so DeathChaos made an update that remade parts of that mod to allow this option to be disabled, ahah

[swift ether]

Ok what is She/her Joker voice? I play in Japanese so if it has a Japanese option I would be interested. u can message me so as not to clog up the channel:)

[zealous fjord]

Again, grab the latest version here (2.5.1) https://gamebanana.com/mods/432481

[echo thicket]

i'd wait a few hours because update coming shortly

[rapid pine]

Normally mods let me know when they need an update and will do it when I open reloaded. That's so laaaaame

[zealous fjord]

I don't remember if I was prompted to update to that version. I wouldn't be surprised if the rewrite made the auto update from 2.1.3 to 2.5.0 not work though

[swift ether]

Just want to say arigato to Both Wisteria and Zylvos for all your work. And thank you for the Aerith costume. I played ff7 while I was playin Star Ocean 2 for first time and although it may not have impacted me the same if played by itself it was almost as impactful as a female gamer. Now Makoto Tifa can fight alongside Aerith!

[zealous fjord]

At least, it'll auto update to the latest version if DeathChaos updates it soon 😉

[stone ibex]

sister dont recognize sister

[sonic finch]

omg there's an Aerith costume?
now it's gonna be hard to pick which to use between Aerith and Yunaka

[swift ether]

Yes! And apparently a lot of other goodies! Also Z posted that Rose and Violet is not far off from a beta!!

[sonic finch]

[swift ether]

I also highly recommend a mod called "no j physics 2.0" (just not spelling out the word here) As some of the costume mods really make the female characters physics uncomfortable. I am not just a female player but used to be physically active. so the mod makes it look like well, our female thieves put on proper equipment for fighting and protection. Ahem.

[sonic finch]

That and the no face shadows mod for maskless costumes and it should be perfect

[swift ether]

Oh I didn't know about that one! I will look into it!

[sonic finch]

https://gamebanana.com/mods/408146

Here you are

cuz that effect is weird as heck

[swift ether]

Maybe it's a artifact of an effect they wanted to do but couldn't. Like ripping off the mask and bleeding. But someone didn't properly edit it when they removed it to keep their game rating

or it could just be the general shadow setting of the persona model itself

[echo thicket]

its uploading, veeeeeeeery sloooooowly

[astral chasm]

Guys, quick question: should the longhair mod go inside the kasumiprotag folder, or do I need to create a new one?

[echo thicket]

hey i made the yunaka one! another yunaka enjoyer 🤝

[sonic finch]

https://tenor.com/view/fire-emblem-engage-yunaka-fire-emblem-engage-jumpscare-gif-27454440

[earnest oracle]

Then this happened after I changed my name to 芳泽霞 (the Chinese version of Yoshizawa Kasumi)

[echo thicket]

update out

[echo thicket]

seems like an encoding issue, something to look into then

[earnest oracle]

I only learned a few days ago that Yukana and Kasumi are sharing same English voice actors LOL

[echo thicket]

[lean bough]

somebody is gonna have to run me through what mods are dependencies so I can properly do this test build.

Cause I am extremely lost.

already.

lol

[echo thicket]

same voice actor, both readheads, both thieves

[lean bough]

might need to ask wisteria about this when am working on my mod list for P5R later today

cause I can no longer understand what dependencies are needed and what not

[echo thicket]

reloaded should auto-download the needed dependencies after installing the mod

[lean bough]

not when you're like me and have mods for P4G, P3Reload and P5R with multiple different mod sets saved for P5R

things just go haywire with that and it is impossible to tell which is which

X

D

even in my P5R section I get lost myself

[astral chasm]

another quickquestion: if I delete de config.json, the kasumi protag mod disappears lol what am I doing wrong?

[zealous fjord]

You shouldn't delete the config.json inside the mod folder

It's what allows it to appear in the load order

Instead, delete the one in Reloaded-II\User\Mods\p5rpc.kasumiasprotag

The difference is it's in the "User" folder

[astral chasm]

oh

that worked

lmao thank you so much, Zylvos!

Im kinda gagged, the longhair mod is beautiful

it fits her so well

[kindred comet]

They're auto enabled when launching with the mod

Also I'm probably going to remove force custom protag name as a dependency, I kinda have a feeling I'm going to get swarmed with a bunch of reports and it'll probably impact people playing in different languages. It'll be linked on the main mod page though

[lean bough]

Cool

[zealous fjord]

If you guys update CBT and you get an error with the dependency download loop, you can download it manually here

[wraith juniper]

DeathChaos

thats incredibly odd, wonder why that happened considering the modconfig should have it set up correctly

#Costume Framework

[brazen fractal]

I finally got it all working on my steam deck ty for all the work put into the mod

this isn’t really a bug but I’m guessing the long hair add on is more of a WIP? The hair clips through her entire body in most cutscenes and poses

[urban anvil]

i mean long hair in general does that

[brazen fractal]

well I do expecting clipping just wondering if this level of clipping is to be expected. also is the hair supposed to apply to the phantom thief outfit?

[kindred comet]

to be honest i havent really touched those animations since they worked okay for the ponytail, i should actually fix them im just lazy

and yeah, i think it'll use the regular phantom suit which i cant do much about

its an easy fix though, you can change it to the the long haired version in the costume options

[echo thicket]

shouldnt just adding physics to the hair fix it?

[kindred comet]

it does have a physics chunk but sometimes itll clip through the colliders anyway

its not that hard to fix though i just need to add a few keyframes to the animations

[echo thicket]

ouch

[kindred comet]

generally it only really clips if she's at an odd angle

[echo thicket]

you can remedy it but you have to go full galaxy brain

the idea is that you also link the bones sideways

[kindred comet]

wdym?

[echo thicket]

the bones are only chained to the child bones

i.e. bone 1->2->3->4

but you can chain them sideways too

1->1 2->2 etc

[kindred comet]

huh

interesting

[echo thicket]

the sumire long hair i think is 3 chains?

[kindred comet]

@calm compass this might be something worth looking into

[kindred comet]

think its around 5 or 6

[echo thicket]

the back part specifically

[kindred comet]

part of it though could be the hair only being rigged to the middle bones of sumire's hair

[echo thicket]

a while back i was messing with the beta because it had a physics viewer

because even in the PT animations the hair tends to do the same thing

[kindred comet]

Oh wait

okay yeah i know what you mean

they chained the sides on sumire's too

[echo thicket]

lemme do a shitty mspaint drawing

[kindred comet]

tbh i might just flat out reuse sumire's chunk then, i nuked the other ones from that model because i thought they wouldnt be needed

[echo thicket]

basically, imagine that the physics are set up like this

the blue dots are each bone, and the teal is how they're linked

[kindred comet]

so the teal are the constraints?

[echo thicket]

you can go full galaxy brain and link them like this

[kindred comet]

okayy i see what you mean

yeah they did the same for sumire's hair chunk, but only sideways linked like 3 chains i think

[echo thicket]

basically because they're not linked sideways, the bit of hair inbetween the chains has no collision

[kindred comet]

i'll try and do that rn

[echo thicket]

so because of that bit of hair it can get pushed to the front

[kindred comet]

interesting

i had no idea it worked that way :P i was wondering why they were linked sideways

thank you

[echo thicket]

they arent! thats the issue!

[kindred comet]

I meant in sumire's vanilla chunk

there's only like 3 of them sideways in sumire's chunk which is what i built the alt long hair's physics off of

was confused why they side linked them but now i know

(for clarity this is sumire's vanilla chunk with some of the front hair nuked)

[urban anvil]

yea that kinda happens sometimes

[echo thicket]

actually i also remembered another issue

[kindred comet]

there we go

[echo thicket]

they dont have a collision capsule for the head area

i only remembered now because i complained about it when looking last time

[kindred comet]

[echo thicket]

pretty sure almost everyone else does have a head collision capsule

[kindred comet]

certified atlus moment

[native elk]

So does this need to be installed alongside the main mod?

[echo thicket]

from my findings adding a head capsule did help

[kindred comet]

what bone would you suggest adding the collision capsule to

head or neck?

actually better idea, if you want you can take this screenshot and mspaint the capsule onto it

[echo thicket]

probably head

you only need it there so that the hair cant move past it

[kindred comet]

got it

[echo thicket]

for the side hairs in the sumire models, i was doing this

but this was without the head capsule iirc?

[kindred comet]

all i did was just add the capsule but do you think i should adjust it in any way? like the radius/etc

oh well i should probably rotate it i imagine

[echo thicket]

i think that might be too far and might push the hair on neutral pose?

regardless you should test it and see, if it works like that, even better

if all else fails, go insanity brain and do this

this is incredibly overkill but i think just having the head capsule and the side linked ones should suffice

[kindred comet]

hopefully yeah

[kindred comet]

itd be nice if it told me what msg is crashing it

nvm

trolled by ’

yeah i chained them and adjusted the angle limit but it still clips, the chunk does look a bit nicer though

will just require manual intervention

im going to have to adjust these anyway at some point since it'll happen with the sumire hair model

for now im just going to use the long hair ponytail rig in place of the overworld models :/ kind of a shame since i was the one who wanted it rigged to sumire hair for the physics chunk and flowy look

i'll put the sumire hair rig ones back in once i do more adjusting

in the meantime im going to do other animations

i am a bit concerned though if the lookat is at a somewhat extreme angle

since i cant really do anything if it clips, happens to the ponytail too in some events

[calm compass]

Just to clarify in case there's any confusion: Kotone’s hair has two variants. One uses Sumire’s rig with a custom chunk edited by Wisteria, and the other uses Kasumi’s ponytail rig without the custom chunk. The one with Sumire’s rig is used in the overworld field, and the other is used for all general Metaverse costumes

Also, the hairstyle using Sumire’s rig is only weighted to the central back bones of her hair, not the side ones, because those caused deformations

[kindred comet]

does this use the 647 gap

forgot i disabled the no borders mod 💔

okay i dont think it uses 647

also my log keeps getting flooded with bf traces

okay nvm i found what anim its using i think

well

easy fix, hopefully this is the only anim i have to add

i definitely see why they did pre render this though

this single shot alone halves my fps

okay fixed, will bake physics and then add it to next build

i think thats literally the only animation i need to adjust

i baked physics for everything else so they should be fine

[barren temple]

how close are we to version 1.0 right now ?

[kindred comet]

pretty close, pre-release #1 was released yesterday and its essentially the final build that needs some polish/fixes and overall testing

the main thing i want to do is add multi lang support

there's not a whole lot of edited dialogue so it should be possible

unfortunately i cant really add support for simplified chinese as thats something AST needs to fix, but traditional chinese seems to work

with that being said i would appreciate it if anyone could help me translate/localize into the following languages:
German
French
Italian
Traditional Chinese
Simplified Chinese (whenever its fixed)
Japanese

I have one of my friends helping me with spanish translation and I can ask another for help with Korean

In the mod's current state, it should work fine even without proper localization - there will just be some lines in English

[gentle prawn]

Sorry to interrupt, but for traditional chinese there is the same failure🙃 The two flowscript option need to be disabled in order to load into area that involved.

[kindred comet]

It happens with traditional chinese too?

That should be fixable since AST does compile traditional chinese correctly I think, so I'll focus my efforts on localizing that one first

Would you be able to help me with some of the translation into traditional chinese?

I can probably just pull some lines directly from the traditional chinese text, but I will need help with some others

[gentle prawn]

I checked rn, the log indeed stated "[BF Builder] Failed to compile bf". I am not sure if this is the thing you are refering to.

[kindred comet]

I'm referring to something else don't worry

The issue there I think is the use of English characters

Whereas simplified chinese won't compile at all, even with the correct chinese characters

[gentle prawn]

I see. And yes, I would be glad to help translating for Traditional Chinese. 🙂

[kindred comet]

Thank you so much! I'll DM you in a bit!

[bright grotto]

If you would also like to translate it into russian I can help with that

[kindred comet]

Atm I can only really translate it into languages P5R supports, so I'm not sure if I could include it

However please feel free to translate it and upload it as a mod onto gamebanana, I'll link it on the mod page once I release this mod

Mainly has to be a separate mod since I don't think localization framework would work with it, so it would have to be only language if I included it

[bright grotto]

I kinda didnt know p5r didnt have russian support cuz i played it in english, oops

Alright if i make a translation i'll be sure to share it with you

[echo thicket]

it has schrodinger's support

[kindred comet]

It's okay! I think someone was working on a russian translation mod for P5R, although I don't really know if its still being developed

[echo thicket]

Russian is listed as a supported language in the EXE

but they just dont exist

[kindred comet]

Anyways I'm going to try and get traditional chinese supported today, followed by Korean

[gentle prawn]

And as a side note, I am able to speak Simplified Chinese as well tho I am not, by definition a native for simplified Chinese. But I am glad to help if you need a temporary solution from me for simplified Chinese too.

[kindred comet]

Alright, tysm! I will probably ask you for some help with simplified chinese then although I can't really test if it'll work ingame until AST fixes it on their end (it should work after that though)

I should also probably open an issue on shrinefox's ast-gui since chinese encoding doesnt work

[echo thicket]

i think that might be an issue with the script compiler itself

[kindred comet]

its like a 1 line fix though thankfully

its with both

[echo thicket]

aside from Japanese, I don't think the asian languages were too thoroughly tested

[kindred comet]

AST GUI only lists P5R_Chinese

which is incorrect, it should be P5R_CHS and P5R_CHT

i edited the line in the gui myself to have those instead of P5R_Chinese and it works fine now

the issue with AST is it just wont compile simplified chinese

like you can literally

decompile a bmd from the simplified chinese cpk

but ast will not be able to recompile it

due to an invalid character, which i think is just a space?

traditional compiles fine though

[swift ether]

That reminds me my cooy of p3portable never loads right and I realized it would probably make me sad once I got to a certain point in the female links. (Im a lesbian) so going to keep an eye on reloaded sales because I am sure the Kotone mod is probaly even better than it already was.

[uneven finch]

I got it to load in but when I start a new game it starts me on the final day of kamoshida's palace

[echo thicket]

fun fact, there's more than 100 copies of that politician model

[uneven finch]

nvm ignore me persona 5 essentials just needed to update

[unique beacon]

I'm a native german so I'd love to help!!

I'd just need the lines that need translating and I can do my thing 😤

[kindred comet]

Awesome, I'll DM you sometime this week!

Tysm!

[swift ether]

I am terribly sorry I know this was mentioned it says it is stuck in a dependency download loop on "forcejokername"

I am fine just manually downloading the dependncy:)

even if it will be fixed changed somewhere

or do i just toggle something somewhere?

[echo thicket]

i'll look into the encoding issue for that tomorrow, I thought the encoding i used would be fine but i guess not?

not today though, today is cake time for me

[swift ether]

cake is good!

[swift ether]

You have done a LOT of work in the last several days. And Coding although beautiful and wonderful like a Artistic Dance of Math can be incredibly draining.

Arigato for everything. I will see if I can still load stuff and worse cas scenario just play my Betafemc 1/31 🙂

[covert obsidian]

If I wasn't busy till half June I'd help you with the japanese translation, if no one helps with it by then I'm down

Its not like my english is super good but I think its enough

[rain tangle]

I could try and help with Japanese translations, I have a like an hour free most days but I'm usually busy the rest of the day though

Although my English isn't perfect either

[swift ether]

My Japanese is pretty rough and the official translations are often suspect. I mean grain of salt but I for example would translate "Daisuki Desu" even said fast as "I love you" or perhaps... "I I ... Like like you" vs ahem what I saw in my text box from a certain spoiler. but I would have actually used "I like like you" just cause "I love you" can be used for well anyone. And my Japanese is as I said rough.

[kindred comet]

I think your mod is fine although I haven't tested it so its probably still worth looking into I suppose

Also happy birthday!!!

I hope you enjoy it

[swift ether]

what? I did not know. explains the cake!

[swift ether]

happy birthday!!!!

[echo thicket]

ty ty!

[swift ether]

Ok. so I tracked down DeathChaos's original Force Custom protag tiny mod and that was the only issue. I also even loaded it with some custom theives den mods so kind of impressive for both of you!

so Happy Birthday and happy prerelease!

[stray sigil]

We will never forget backwards phone Ryuji

[swift ether]

I LOVE the opening movie! and although I did not know about the slot 1 in costume essentials it made life wonderful! I have Japanese Kasumi! I could also have Edgy Punk Kasumi because both Chlorophyll and BetaFemc mods use default slot. I think it makes for a much cleaner and isolated load. I know making a Japanese Kasumi would be very time consuming so discoverin this made me delighted.

Also the long hair mod looks sugoi!

TLFR: The mod looks fantastic! the changes you made make it much easier to work with and... the colours somehow look brighter?? Sugoi!

[fallow lily]

there are 3 zip files downloaded them all ?

[urban anvil]

the addons are like extra outfits and long hair is self explanitory

[fallow lily]

oh so only download the pre release also ok?

[urban anvil]

yea

[fallow lily]

I have already turn on costume framework and the slot 1

did this mod conflict with no crowd npc?

[urban anvil]

https://gamebanana.com/mods/587965

its labelled as a dependency for now

[viscid ravine]

Ohhh I LOVE these models! Are they both in the update? And if not, could we have a download link to the models?

[late badge]

was...the sign supposed to be like that?

i forgo how og joker held it

this is before rank 1 sun i think

[fallow lily]

did this mod conflict with no crowd npc?

[late badge]

i don't have the no crowd npc mod

also

sumi into table

there was also a split second of sumi moving forward when reading at leblanc

but i didn't get to get a screenshot of that

[late badge]

she moves for a second then goes back to her og position

[kindred comet]

[late badge]

sumi becomes one with the table

[kindred comet]

happens when crafting too iirc, ill see what i can do but not sure if i can fix

[zealous fjord]

The sign orientation can be probably be fixed with event editing. I don't know if it will line up with both hands though

[kindred comet]

it would be easier to edit the animation so I'll just go ahead and do it (eventually)

otherwise you'd have to edit like 5 or 6 events

was the sign orientation correct before this update? i dont remember

if so i can just track down the old animation and copy the helper bone rotation

quick question @zealous fjord did i ever make variations of the sit animations like the hair flick one that are positioned more backwards

if i did i dont remember

actually i guess i could just check my commits

okay i did actually

while im at it i'll try and fix the page flip timing

did some digging and yeah i have no idea where its even calling for the anim, i dont see it in the evt

actually i think its in the bf

for some reason

okay fixed it

[kindred comet]

this should hopefully be fixed as well

why does this keep flooding my log

okay the one that happens when crafting is just when repairing the laptop, and its relatively minor so it wont fix it

thank you for reporting this to me, i completely missed it 😓

will be in the next pre-release

or well

i guess i could just upload it now

actually yeah screw it i will

just need to do something first

[fallow lily]

a way to change the voice?

[kindred comet]

Download the voice patch from here! https://gamebanana.com/sounds/73909

I would make it a dependency but it would probably interfere with anyone who wants to use the jp version of the voice mod

So I'll keep it as a strongly suggested manual download

[kindred comet]

New minor update!
Pre-release 1, Hotfix 1
Changelog (Main Mod):

• Full support for the Shido cutscene in CBT no pre-renders
• Physics for waking up after Kamoshida captures you and Ryuji on the first metaverse trip
• Fixed snapping forward when reading a book at Leblanc or the School Library
• Fixed Ryuji holding protag's phone the wrong way in an early game cutscene
• Changed more bag models to use the textures by MyTamagos
• (Hopefully) fixed the shirtless Akechi bustup jumpscare during his reworked rank 6 confidant event
• Removed Force (Custom) Protagonist Name as a dependency, it can still be downloaded manually though (and is recommended if you want to have the last name "Yoshizawa" as it doesn't fit in the name selection text box)

Changelog (Addon Mod)

• Fixed Miku costume having a placeholder description
• Added Aerith battle cutin by MyTamagos

Changelog (Long Hair Models)

• Overworld models now use the ponytail rig (hair is rigged to ponytail instead of sumire's hair) as a temporary solution to curb some of the clipping (it still clips, but it's not as bad now)

KNOWN ISSUES:

• Bag clips a bit, clips a lot on the midwinter outfit (can't fix, tried for hours but couldn't get it to work)
• Game crashes when playing in an asian language, disable the BF/Event edits for now to fix this until I add localization or play in English

HOW TO FIX CONFIG SCREEN CRASHING:
Refer to this video - #1094412112576651314 message

HOW TO FIX JOKER VOICE OR MOD NOT LOADING:
Read the pinned message

To clarify further, the addon mod and long hair mods are NOT required. They are simply addon mods you can choose to download. The addon mod adds new costumes and new config features. The long hair model mod adds. Please check the original Pre-Release post to see example screenshots

[sick breach]

Delete the old file and replace with this one?

[kindred comet]

Yeah

Also the reason why I removed force custom name as a dependency is just in case it causes issues with other languages (I have no idea if it does or doesnt). I also don't want "bug" reports from people who either missed the section (or just didnt read) stating that its a dependency and then wondering why their name is different in game

[sick breach]

Does "kasumi story overhaul" work with this update? Or I don't need it?

[swift ether]

I got it working just fine!

Make sure to delete it first though!

otherwise it will redownload the old version of kasumi as protagonist

so get the prerelease of kasumi as protagonist prerelease build and goodies all ready, then get your story overhaul redownloaded.

[sick breach]

Ty!

[swift ether]

Yokatta! welcome

[sick breach]

Oh will I need the patch for it?

[late badge]

she doesn't become one with the table anymoreeee

[late badge]

looks like something in the kasumi mod conflicts with p5r female protagonist mod

just putting it here just in case anyone will be using fem mod

the forced name mod was off when i tested for both

[rapid pine]

Well thats odd. game was english the whole time and then bam

[echo thicket]

gotta keep everyone on their toes

[late badge]

white leotard only uses rapier model even with dagger chosen but i don't mind

love this skin

[stone ibex]

Damn
I'm swapping to that

[swift ether]

In the BetaFemc mod Hold for drama: Everything is in Japanese. Then when Akage(femJoker) is at her wits End Reality is twisted into knots and suddenly Everyone is speaking the language of Nathaniel Hathorne! English. Then Her Persona, Hester... The personification of the bearer of the Scarlet Letter asks her to Call Her Name!

[swift ether]

I know it's because the MOD was recorded in English but it was so cool

[swift ether]

Sometimes enjoying ripples as part of the story makes it more fun!

[earnest oracle]

It's a bit of a pity that Yunaka's costume won't change the background music

[sonic finch]

I know she's not from Solm but imagine if it played Bright Sandstorm

[swift ether]

I just saw the photos!!!! In Thieves den!!! EVERYONE!!! THE PHOTOS. They managed to change the photos so instead of Ren it is Kasumi!!! This is the only mod I have EVER seen change the photos!! It makes me even happier that she is in slot 1 because I may keep this mod active just to have those photos be of a woman even if I am mot always playing as Kasumi. THANK YOU!

[swift ether]

I can't imagine how much code diving and coding that took

@kindred comet please tell the artist/coder thank you from me for the photos with Kasumi I am at 1/31 in my game so I have many of them.

and of course thank YOU and arigato and Merci

[willow prairie]

[earnest oracle]

Weird.After I enter the gallery, it keeps stopping at the loading interface

Is it because my game language is Simplified Chinese?

[mighty snow]

same thing thats been happening to me, it happens mainly for social link events and ALWAYS phone calls

[lean bough]

why would use them together anyways? Since the kasumi mod is meant to replace the protag with Kasumi and the female P5R protag mod replaces male joker with female joker.... of course they're gonna conflict no?

like i just don't get it...

why would use a FEMC Mod with the Kasumi as Protag which is also an MC overhaul that changes the protagonist.

[hasty drum]

Hi, sorry to bother anyone. but does anyone know how to get the Pre-release build 1 working on steam deck?

[mighty snow]

probably used for the social link changes

[rapid pine]

Interesting

[lean bough]

fair. Although there's a story overhaul coming out alongside version 1.0 of this so that could have changed social links but idk thats up to Zylvos and not us.

[rain tangle]

I remember Wisteria saying they were gonna finish the Joker over NPC Sumi before doing the story overhaul, but I may be wrong

[earnest oracle]

It's too bad for joker's ultimate pistol's stat boost turn into all+6 instead of mag+15

[lean bough]

well the story overhaul I mean is the Rose and Violet one by Zylvos

Zylvos is releasing the 1.0 with that alongside the 1.0 main release of this

[lean bough]

honestly. I prefer the all +6

gives better versatility

to a wildcard

[rain tangle]

Oh right, forgot about that one lol, my bad

[lean bough]

yeah youre good

at least i hope i understood Zylvos right

and that was what he meant

[swift ether]

I use the female protagonist mod for just the Japanese voice... Now... It requires the main mod as a dependency. I get some little changes just checking the english and Japan voice mods (i only use Japanese but I always worry they might be on a toggle so I check them both) and that might reduce conflicts but since it's not the full mod it might not give you the social link changes. try an alternate save file with the main mod unchecked.

[earnest oracle]

All +6 already have the Metatron pistol

[earnest oracle]

Well,indeed

[sonic finch]

Wait but the Kasumi Voice Patch has a Japanese option though?

[swift ether]

NANI???

I feel dumb

[lean bough]

just saying

I prefer versatiltiy over magic buff

[swift ether]

ARIGATO Gozaimas

[swift ether]

Seriously I have no idea how I missed this. Arigato, Merci Danke and words in languages I don't know

[sonic finch]

https://tenor.com/view/anime-sunshine-love-live-you-watanabe-sailor-gif-17006103642978586925

[earnest oracle]

Oh btw, there's one more thing to mention. In the Japanese voice package, the all over attack lines of Futaba are still in English

[lean bough]

Who knows why that happened but it is what it is

[lean bough]

https://tenor.com/view/ganbaruby-ruby-kurosawa-love-live-gif-10682921

[swift ether]

I wrote this about a scene for the Beta femc mod and that scene and Kasumi's Cendrillion(in hentai castle) awakenin gave me shivers. "

Then when Akage is at her wit's End Reality is twisted into knots and suddenly Everyone is speaking the language of Nathaniel Hathorne! English. Then Her Persona, Hester... The personification of the bearer of the Scarlet Letter asks her to Call Her Name!"

[swift ether]

So ever since I see random English as twisting of reality

[lean bough]

fair

[hasty drum]

Okay, so i've kind of got the pre-release mod working. However, each time it comes up with some "crash screen" saying something about "Unable to cast object of Type" along with missing a bunch of system texts, BMD Emulators and reloaded mod loaders?

[kindred comet]

Update reloaded and refer to the latest changelog

you can find it in the pinned message

[kindred comet]

I think it's literally because of like 1 dialogue edit and they store all of the post confidant dialogue in one file

Although I used bmd merging for that

I guess Femc mod doesn't? idk what's going on there

Can you check if it still happens with the BMD/BF edits off

Also is Femc mod loading before or after Kasumi mod

it should be loading before, so above Kasumi mod in the mod order

although I haven't personally tested it with the kasumi mod, I just assumed the visual stuff would be replaced

[hasty drum]

How do i turn off the BMD/BF Edits?

[kindred comet]

Through the config menu, although that was directed at Lazuli

[manic cedar]

Quick update on this. Managed this for her tied hair bustup for interrogation. Still have some stuff t odo, and later on, once I'm done, I'll make the hair down version of it.

[swift ether]

i'm sure they have heard this before But I am in awe of how beautiful some od the costumes are! MyTamagos is wonderful as are the other contributors. Also thank you for including the Ace Attorney outfit! it's my favourite when I am in a certain mood cause of the top hat. This is such a truly beautiful mod and It really brings home how I say coding is a beautiful Math Dance of Art. (I said it better) but oh this is gorgeous)

[swift ether]

Arigato for all your hard work!

[dark verge]

HurggggggggggAHHHHHH sooooooo just be sure this pre relase will be what will work with the Rose and Violet Pre Relase right?

[rain tangle]

Js noticed the blender testing outfit is back in protag Sumis costumes lmao

[kindred comet]

Looks nice!!

[kindred comet]

Probably. R&V isn't my mod so I can't really comment on that

But it probably will

Quick hotfix to address some issues:

Changelog (Main Mod)

• Temporarily removed E700_300 edits in response to some users having issues with post confidant dialogue

Changelog (Addon Mod)

• Fixed an error with the 2B outfits

Changelog (Long Hair Models)

• Fixed an issue with the jaw outline

https://pixeldrain.com/l/mrULL5wW

Previous changelog: #1094412112576651314 message

@late badge @rapid pine please give this new build a try and let me know if this still happens

If the issue persists please provide me your mod list

As always perform a clean install by fully deleting the old version and installing the new build

[rapid pine]

Will let you know in about five hours

I read the first image as her only being able to call him a dummy

[solar comet]

please never fix the floating cat

[kindred comet]

wha thte

[rain tangle]

he is preparing for his special attack "forever sleep"

[bronze finch]

Oh she’s too low at the temple

That’s funny

[kindred comet]

i have no idea where that even is but its funny so i wont fix it

[solar comet]

morgana sits on your head when you visit the temple a few times

[bronze finch]

Temple in whatever the place is with darts and jazz club

[kindred comet]

you can go inside the temple??

[rapid pine]

Yeah???

[kindred comet]

i swear i tried on my first playthrough and the monk wouldnt let me in

[rapid pine]

It increases your sp

[kindred comet]

[rapid pine]

During the daytime

Can't go at night

[tame igloo]

Oh man, is this gonna be in the release version

[covert obsidian]

THIS IS GREAT

I love it

[rapid pine]

Just a question on something I noticed in battles: is the mask on the persona when selecting skills changeable to Sumi's mask? I saw it in the persona select screen but it's still Jonklers in the skill select

[rain tangle]

Noticed a bug with the loungewear outfit, the hair seems to be a little messed up and glitchy, especially during and after battles

[manic cedar]

it all depends on Wisteria, tbh. I'm doing this more as a "for fun" thing, and also because I personally prefer having the handmade thing for the dialogue cutins. I believe Wisteria mentioned before they took a liking to the original, which I don't mind.

[urban anvil]

for some reason my persona never changed to the weaker arsene/cendrillion which makes the all out attack tutorial impossible

[kindred comet]

That's normal, just how the collider works

[bronze finch]

[urban anvil]

[kindred comet]

Uh I have no idea whats going on there

Can you send your log

[urban anvil]

it wont say anything

[kindred comet]

One of the BFs mightve failed to compile

[urban anvil]

it just never changed casino arsene to the first arsene

it says im level 60 still

[kindred comet]

Oh well I can't help you then, that's not an issue with my mod

Whats your modlist

[covert obsidian]

Do you have any mod that adjust personas skill set? I had this issue in other parts of the game due other mod, deactivating it fixed it, the modder also fixed the issue later on*

[tame igloo]

Sorry, what's the original

[kindred comet]

To clarify it probably will be added whenever they're finished - it'll be a config option like the other bustup options

[urban anvil]

literally just this mod

i enabled the cendrillion mode and skillset thingy

[echo thicket]

oh, maybe try the collider in the neck then? and make it horizontal, might look better

[manic cedar]

the original kasumi one already seen in-game, and probably the other ones seen on the screenshots in this thread

[tame igloo]

Oh so it'll just be her normal expression without any bruises

[manic cedar]

it is edited to have the bruises, but it's a png edit of an already existing portrait

[tame igloo]

I see

[celest thicket]

Doesn't it not blink aswell?

[manic cedar]

dunno

i think some of them don't

the one i'm doing will blink

[celest thicket]

That'll be really good honestly.

It already looks official.

[kindred comet]

Oh Croissant Guard, while you're here do you think you still could do the title screen model?

[celest thicket]

oh right

yeah i'll see what I can do rq

[kindred comet]

Awesome, thank you

[rapid pine]

We getting Sumi over joker in the title menu? 👀

[rain tangle]

Tracksuit descriptions seemed to be swapped between the normal and alt versions lol

[kindred comet]

[sick breach]

• date the male party members

[kindred comet]

definitely not happening, at least not for now or not in R&V

way, way too much work to add new romances - you can use femc mod for that (hopefully it works)

if i do do it it'll probably be as a separate mod

[supple moat]

there is a gay joker mod but idk if it still works

[kindred comet]

I have no clue but hopefully it works

[wind mural]

i’ve been using the gay joker mod with the kasumi as protag mod and it works fine for me! i just have gay joker load before kasumi

just wanted to chime in that it does have compatibility

[kindred comet]

Good to know, I'll probably list it on the mod page as a recommended mod ^^

[supple moat]

ty for letting us know!

Didnt bother trying yet since I'm waiting for the story overhaul :3

[sonic finch]

Do we have a rough ETA on a full version 1 or is it too early to say

[kindred comet]

Too early to say, I still need more thorough testing to be done

Additionally I'm waiting on some things from other ppl

Mainly localization right now, but some other things too

[sonic finch]

https://tenor.com/view/awkward-im-out-byee-ok-gif-20813720

[rapid pine]

Do I gotta use the updated addon mod as well or just the main mod

[kindred comet]

Just the main mod

the other ones in there are optional

[rapid pine]

Secondly the folder days 1.02 but the mod in reloaded says 1.0.0 is that indicating the old one didn't delete properly

Correction it says 0.9.9.1

[kindred comet]

i didnt update the version number

so dont worry about that

[rapid pine]

Surprise japanese is fixed!

[kindred comet]

Weird, must be a bmd emulator bug

[kindred comet]

I know I said I wouldnt fix these but I lowkey lied sorrry 😝😝😝😝😝😝 I'm just doing skirt and hair physics though, I will try and get the arms close to joker's so the item isn't as off but I dont guarantee it'll look much better than before - items are just hard to work with without any real visual reference

especially this one, the helper bone is really far away

[prime orbit]

Is that Kotone Montagne's hair or whatever her name is?

[kindred comet]

Yeah!

[prime orbit]

It fits her well

[celest thicket]

Almost done, I have a couple things left to do.

[kindred comet]

Looks nice! Tysm ^^

[celest thicket]

np

[late badge]

It's fixedddd

[kindred comet]

this does suck since i have to nuke the post akechi rank 6 dialogue (it was like one line lmao so it wont be that noticeable) but w/e

i really dont feel like dealing with whatever bug is causing that

it is probably worth reporting this to swine but truth be told i dont know why thats happening nor do i have a save where i can easily reproduce it

[late badge]

swine? whose that?

[kindred comet]

animatedswine

maintains the file emulators for p5r, in particular bmd emulator which is the issue here

i was more or less saying that to myself

[late badge]

ohh i see

[kindred comet]

it would be something i would report

[kindred comet]

u dont need to be doing allat....

[celest thicket]

I figured since I'm gonna have to do physics for the hair and ribbon. I could try and change the idle pose aswell. Thoughts?

[kindred comet]

looks great! much nicer than jokers imo

[celest thicket]

nice, i'll continue then

[kindred comet]

just might need to adjust the spine position to be more inwards toward the camera

[celest thicket]

Yeah I was thinking that aswell

i'll mess around with it

[echo thicket]

keep in mind, joker is the hunchback of notre dame in some animations

entirely possible the camera angle kept that in mind

[kindred comet]

correction: in most animations

that guy has the worst posture imagineable

he sleeps on that dinky matress in the attic tho so it makes sense 😭

i find it really funny how sumire sits proper like all the time and she has great posture

meanwhile joker just dont even gaf

both are endearing in their own way

also im in hell why did they have to make SO MANY variations of the pool animations

the difference between p5r and p3r animation variety is kind of stunning

p3r uses canned animations so much it just looks kinda bad especially compared to ps2

[half scaffold]

[dawn dagger]

a gymnast gotta have good posture after all

[celest thicket]

does the title screen model only use a part of animation 0? The few frames into the idle don't seem to be effected by my changes.

[kindred comet]

alright billards animations have physics now, the pool cue still isnt aligned properly but its good enough

[kindred comet]

probably, what does anim 0 look like?

[echo thicket]

are you animating the manually or

[kindred comet]

yes

and using bonedynamics to bake physics

hair and ribbon are all done via bonedynamics

skirt is a combination of bonedynamics + manual

[echo thicket]

is it any good or nah

[celest thicket]

it's the wire swinging part including the into idle frames

[kindred comet]

its pretty good it just kinda sucks for skirts, i cant get the colliders to really work consistently

[echo thicket]

ouch

skirts really is the only time i'd be interested in physics lmao

[kindred comet]

tried simplicage colliders too. inconsistent but better than using capsules

[echo thicket]

hair you just kinda let the game vibe

[kindred comet]

yeah blender physics are a bit wack

it would be much, much easier if there were angle limits

[kindred comet]

the part when landing?

[celest thicket]

yeah

[echo thicket]

a friend of mine actually made a physics addon in blender but i never tried it, i really should get around to it at some point

[kindred comet]

no idea, i mean i would assume it would use the entire thing but i guess not

[kindred comet]

would probably be worth trying and seeing if it can bake physics for skirts, thats the one big thing

[celest thicket]

we could test it

[kindred comet]

bone dynamics does work for skirts but you have to do a lot of manual intervention if the legs move a lot

sometimes works ok for walking animations

[celest thicket]

wiggle 2 also really sucks for skirts. Mostly because the collisions suck.

[kindred comet]

oh yeah wiggle 2 is pretty meh

really blender just needs to add more features to its physics system imo

well blender just needs to polish its features as a whole tbh

it has a video editor in it but doesnt support texture painting layers without an addon (which is paid) 🙃

and still doesnt have node previews

[kindred comet]

also how far into the animation do your edits appear

ik there was a reference for the title screen anims somewhere

think it should be this

it probably just cuts off animation 0 early if i had to guess

the observer

[celest thicket]

it's before it transitions into the idle

[kindred comet]

weird

[celest thicket]

41 is it most likely

[kindred comet]

also i swear the animations past 0 arent displaying correctly in blender

yeah i think you're right

think 40 and 41 are the ones they actually use

since 40 has the grappling hook
