(P5R PC) Kasumi as Protagonist

[barren temple]

is this still a spoiler after so long?

[urban anvil]

yes

[indigo obsidian]

N

[urban anvil]

[reef musk]

kasumi's hair is odd when looking at the ceiling here

[kindred comet]

i have no idea how thats handled, i'd imagine its a bf

so it won't be fixed unfortunately, nothing i can do about it since its not an anim its just her head's look position being changed

do you have a screenshot containing the dialogue during that event

it makes it a lot easier to find which event that is

nvm found it

[unborn turtle]

fast

[full zinc]

hell yeah :3

[indigo obsidian]

sorry i was asleep, glad you found the event though

[wraith juniper]

Cloudrifto

you know... speaking of 2/2 leblanc event, both kasumi & sumire should be allowed to say "Fuck you, Dr. Maruki." during his confrontation.

#(P5R PC) Rose & Violet - Story overhaul

[kindred comet]

no 🙂

if you have something personal against maruki that's fine, but it would be best not to assume others hold that same personal grudge or even hate him

I apologize but I'm getting a little tired of the maruki thing

[lean bough]

Persona 5 and 5 Royal do also have polish as available languages. (I’m a native Polish speaker. I could take a crack at doing some polish if you’d like.)

Idk how big the polish community for Persona is but I’m down to try.

I’ve got pretty good English alongside Polish.

So I’m sure I could translate things.

Lmk if you’d like me to the wisteria.

Dm or whatever else works.

I did recently translate a favourite song of mine to Polish and I’m currently working on synonyms with certain words to make it actually like a song and not just Polish text. So, I’d be more than glad to translate to Polish. (Just as an example - Stars we Chase by Mia Taylor (EN lyrics to Polish [not adapted to rhyme yet but fully translated] Stars we chase - PL
Kiedyś patrzyłem na gwiazdy i goniłem
Nigdy nie musiałem wątpić w to, co mogę wziąć
Teraz odkryłem, że jest dalej niż się wydawało
Światło staje się mniejsze, moje oczy się zamykają

Kiedy to się stało? Odwróciłem twarz
Kiedy to się stało? Ból rośnie
Cień chodzi i radzi sobie, prawda wewnątrz ujawnia
Wciąż część mnie szuka tego uczucia

Sny w dźwięku, który zrobiłem dla ciebie
Idź, wracaj przeze mnie
Gdzie to światło świeci tak jasno, pokazałeś

Wróciło i teraz
Wyciągnij rękę, możemy dosięgnąć
Zawsze tam było, by być uwolnionym
Robi się głośno, na krzyk
Zaczynamy to jaśniejsze jutro
Spróbuj tego
Każdy kolor pokazany, jasny w gwieździe
Stąd możemy znaleźć
Pozwalając nam świecić
Nie ukrywaj swojej jasności

Aprobata kogoś, kto czuje się kompletny
Szczerość zniknęła, delikatnie mówiąc
Wiele rzeczy o nas jest takich samych
Dystans dla nas jest trudny do rozszyfrowania

Dlaczego tak się stało? Wyobraziłem sobie twoją twarz
Myśląc o tym samotnym uczuciu
Stojąc wciąż przekraczając, popęd i popęd rosną
Muszę być przy tobie i mówić

Trochę czasu zostało zabrane
Uważam, że to był czas, którego potrzebowaliśmy
Kiedy nasze umysły są wyrównane, wiemy
Ta gwiazda jest w zasięgu wzroku

Zrestartujmy to, ty i ja
Chodząc po naszej nowej historii
Czuję twój głos, moje melodie
Nie martw się, gdy zmagasz się z podążaniem
Znajdź to
Pozwól na to

Wyciągnij rękę, możemy dosięgnąć
Zawsze byliśmy tam, by być uwolnieni
Robi się głośno, na krzyk
Zaczynamy to jaśniejsze jutro
Spróbuj tego
Każdy kolor pokazany, jasny w gwieździe
Stąd możemy znaleźć
Pozwól nam świecić
Nie ukrywaj swojej jasności)

[lean bough]

I know it’s totally random but I saw it and went. “I want to do this.”

[tawny fable]

hey how big is the mod itself and how much data does the animation files have

[kindred comet]

I think the mod is maybe 1 or 2 gigs

and there's... a lot of animations

probably totaling over to 500mb

[tawny fable]

thank you

wait 500 gigabits?

[kindred comet]

oh wait

mb

I knew something was off there

[tawny fable]

ah how much is a individual animation data?

[kindred comet]

it varies, it could be a couple kilobytes or a few megabytes depending on how many animations are contained within a gap and how many keyframes there are

[kindred comet]

wait they do? where's the polish toggle for p5r PC if you don't mind me asking

[tawny fable]

are there any animations that surpase 3.5 mb

[kindred comet]

hmm

is this about a switch port?

[tawny fable]

yes

[kindred comet]

so 3.5mb is the max per gap I take it?

and to answer your question, yes

mainly battle and field anims which crashed the switch version on startup in my experience

battle one loaded fine, the field ones kept crashing it

[tawny fable]

im new to the persona 5 modding scene so a bit of a dumb question i have about the animation files

[kindred comet]

what's up?

[tawny fable]

so do you think its possible to split the animations up into 2 or more animation files and it still work properly?

[kindred comet]

I don't think so, no

although I have no idea how field animations are loaded

but I'd imagine they're probably hardcoded

[tawny fable]

alright might be contained as a mod for emulators then

[kindred comet]

hold on emulators can handle bigger gaps than real hardware?

I assumed it'd crash on both

[lean bough]

As far as I know you get polish either by languages on steam or your console being in polish.

[tawny fable]

from what i come to understand animations that surpase 3.5 mb tend to crash the switch version so if the animation is from the switch version it might work for the port

[lean bough]

Like in the language settings on steam there’s one that says “Polski”

That’s Polish.

[kindred comet]

I see, kinda sucks since I did want to actually have my mod on a real switch 😬

[lean bough]

I can’t show rn because my pc isn’t on but give me 5 mins and I’ll show a screenshot.

[kindred comet]

Well you're free to port everything you can when the full release comes out

[tawny fable]

i was thinking of a solution for the switch version of the mod to hold the animation data

[kindred comet]

normally I wouldn't permit using the art assets and other stuff contributed to this mod, but I am okay with allowing it for a switch port

[tawny fable]

which the one i came up with so far is the animation data from the switch

[lean bough]

There used to be polish at least

I remember seeing it

[kindred comet]

well if you'd like to take a crack at it, by all means

[lean bough]

Idk why it’s not there now

It used to be there

I remember seeing it

[tawny fable]

so which animation files do you have that surpase 3.5 mb

[lean bough]

Did they remove it?

[tawny fable]

or all the animation files your using in this mod?

[kindred comet]

yeah I checked and didn't see it, unfortunately if that's the case I won't be accepting any translations for languages p5r doesn't natively support, but you are free to make your own localization addon mod if you want

[tawny fable]

i guess ill be able to check out the animation files once the mod is published

[kindred comet]

these ones

[lean bough]

Fair. It’s cause I remember it being in Polish

Cause one of my family members has an Xbox in Polish

[kindred comet]

and BB0001_051.gap[, although it worked fine on real hardware when i tested it

[lean bough]

And P5R was in Polish on it

[lean bough]

So idk

[tawny fable]

not as many as i thought

[kindred comet]

and some event animations

[tawny fable]

ill compare the data useage of this to the switch version now

might be a bit do to me having to dump the game

[lean bough]

I get that. I just don’t know what happened cause I remembered it being an option and it’s gone…

[tawny fable]

Cpk file extraction at 20%

So about the mod if the animation files take the same amount of data for the switch version what should we do?

[willow prairie]

alright, i'll drop it

[full zinc]

wait.. by wisteria? didnt know you were famous already

nevermind i just realized I'm stoopid

thats probably added by the mod right?

[tawny fable]

Switch has limited ram compared to pc emulators

[willow prairie]

my apologies once again...

[tawny fable]

Hey ive been searching for the animation files you sent me from the pc version of the game but I’m having no luck I think they might have been compressed into different files to work on the switch.

[reef musk]

why do you not like him did I miss something

[swift ether]

Oh btw Somebody made a mod that replaces the opening vudeo for p3 reloaded with "wake up" and it made me sad that it wasn't Wisteria's Kasumio video.

So long story short I discovered p5r video files are not the same as P3r video files.

But someone should make a mod that replaces Full Moon Full Life with "Wake Up It Is Kasumi!"

I am barely at the text modding stge of evtui or I would try ;p

(meaning I am teaching myself to code)

[willow prairie]

it’s due to my personal life’s hardships and my endearing sentiment with sumi…
i- i’d rather not to talk about it out of the blue. the topics are real sensitive… my apologies.

[swift ether]

I have an idea on why you would hate him. For what its worth if you ever want to chat(no spoilers for rose and violet p5r is fine) my dms are open.

I have a fairly harsh opinion of him too and wont discuss him casually for similar reasons

[reef musk]

Ah I see that’s okay

Sorry

[willow prairie]

no- no, it’s okay

[kindred comet]

im not sure why you would wait for my mod to be released

nor do i feel very comfortable with that notion being associated with my mod when it has nothing to do with it

regardless i should iterate again that this isnt the place for discussing such a thing

also saying this feels a bit unrelated if not disingenuous bcs maruki is barely discussed here and any real exposure to him would come from just playing the game

not to mention, even if we were discussing him, if you seriously have a problem with him you're the one that has to step away from a conversation like that which may trigger you. this is a public space and it is more than reasonable to discuss maruki as a character

it comes off as incredibly arrogant to say that when maruki is a p5 antagonist and one that invites discussion to begin with

as i said, if you hate the guy as much as you seem to display thats fine but i would much rather that be kept to its own space bcs it feels like you're projecting that sentiment onto others and my mod and this has been going on for a long time now - to be blunt im sick of it.

[somber shoal]

To be honest, I kind of didn't get why they were waiting for the mod to be released either? (Or why they would.. discuss that here?) So very well put Wisteria!

[frigid owl]

Bro got mad at a video game character

[tawny fable]

Hey wisteria it’s going to be longer for me to find out the location for the animations cause it doesn’t seem the animation files for the pc version of p5r doesn’t match the switch version I think they where compressed to work on the switch version of the files once the project is published though I should be able to look through each file to find the animations your using for the mod.

[kindred comet]

Feel free to try adding them once it's released

[tawny fable]

Ok

[stone ibex]

oh damn
she look awesome
a bit psychotic, but that probably just me

[open gull]

This seems uncalled for. I'm no psychologist but I know from experience that PTSD/wounds of the heart can come up in unrelated and even trivial matters at times. It may not always be logical, but those feelings are real nonetheless and from my experience, they can come up in unexpected places even when it doesn't make sense. Regardless, I certainly don't think any less of ya for this, Cloud. Hope you're doin' well.

Anyway...

I think the mod has shaped up quite nicely over the past year. The 1.0 is more than justified at this point. Nice going, team.

[astral chasm]

morning, y'all! is this the last update?

[kindred comet]

yeah that should be the latest update!

[mossy zealot]

just so that it's here too
[msg MND_COMMON_CHK_TOILET_WO] in FHIT_002_002_02 says ladies' restroom instead of boys'

[zealous fjord]

I fixed some weird stuff happening with the restrooms in Shujin, especially around the first. I've tested the fix and it worked fine for me. I don't know if Wisteria has added them in the latest build

Yep, it doesn't seem like the files in the current build are using my fix

[kindred comet]

I gave them the latest files for localization

Anyways I don't think there's any effect ingame

That dialogue is most likely not used

Something I'll still be fixing regardless though as a just in case

[tawny fable]

Hey wisteria there’s this guy I’m working with from a nsfw server that is going to work on the mod with me if you don’t mind you know the switch port

@kindred comet You fine with that?

[kindred comet]

Could you clarify what you mean by that exactly?

[tawny fable]

He works on mods but the models he makes are nsfw in nature he’s good with animations code and stuff but he’ll abide by the servers rules he’s a good guy who offered to help with this project

[kindred comet]

That's okay then, I don't really mind where they're from or what they do - just as long as my mod and its assets arent used for nsfw content then I am okay with it

[tawny fable]

He also makes mega man models that are sfw for various games

Safe for work

Alright I’ll send him the link

[tawny fable]

@kindred comet I got some questions about the mod

it’s about the models costumes does kasumis have custom costumes to replace jokers costumes or what?

[kindred comet]

they're in OptionalModFiles\Costumes

[tawny fable]

alright the reason why I asked was to see if you wanted any custom models for those in case you didn’t have any I didn’t think that kasumi had costumes in a dlc pack looks like I didn’t purchase a costume pack for it I just thought she didn’t have costumes.

[stone ibex]

uhm
EXCUSE ME?!?!?!

GIRL
WHAT HAPPEN TO YOUR EYE

[manic cedar]

i'd be damned to ask the very same question

https://tenor.com/view/explosion-meme-funny-damn-dayum-gif-9861134019360257122

that should not have happened

[manic cedar]

according to nvidia texture tools the eyes should be there

[dark cave]

I also actually had that problem

[manic cedar]

and i'm guessing there was no solution for it?

[sick breach]

😭😭

[sonic finch]

"Collect my eight Personas"

[dark cave]

Couldn't find the solution. I didn't mind since it only happens once in Marukis Confidant

[echo thicket]

oh that's why lmao

that confidant has a special cutin

the foggy glasses one

that one has no eye frames programmed

[zealous fjord]

An easy fix would be to edit the BMD file for this event so it uses the base portrait here. No need to edit the portrait itself

[manic cedar]

at least it's nothing with the portrait itself

good to know though

[kindred comet]

I really don't want to edit the bmd

@manic cedar could you send over the portrait with the eyes already in the right position? it won't blink but since it happens for a single dialogue choice it should be fine

[kindred comet]

also this isn't a good solution since it'll nuke the portrait in sumire overhaul

[zealous fjord]

I meant editing the dialogue. Instead of using the portrait with foggy glasses (n°5), use the the regular portrait (n°0). For the Sumire version of mod, portrait n°0 should have the long hair anyway

But If you don't want to edit the BMD, editing the portrait with the eyes should work just as well

[kindred comet]

Well that's the issue

Sumire overhaul is an option in the addon mod

Not a fully separate mod, nuking the portrait would make it so the foggy glasses portrait that sumire overhaul has never shows up (and any additional addon mod that edits bustups for sumire or adds say a glasses version wouldnt have the foggy portrait for that event)

Besides that's a bit much considering that's another thing I'd need localized (granted I could just copy the text from every official localization, but that would be kind of a pain)

Realistically there's no reason not to just edit the portrait instead since it's only used for this event anyway

[small stream]

Guys can I have the link for latest version of this mod?

[sonic finch]

It should be the second pinned message in this thread

[small stream]

Oh thanks

[manic cedar]

currently not at home. I can send it to you once i return

[zealous fjord]

Oh right, I forgot about the localization stuff. Yeah, better to the portrait in that case

[kindred comet]

Very delighted to announce that the German localization, by @unique beacon, and the Spanish localization, by @mossy zealot, have been implemented! Thank you so much for both of your amazing work!

As a refresher, this is the current localization status:
EFGIS:
English - the mod is in english
**French **- by Flastyy
**German **- by Ann Takamaki/bowserthelord
**Spanish **- by Hiena
**Italian **- ❕ Zero issues in-game, the dialogue this mod edits is just in English and won't appear in Italian. No volunteers

Asian:
**Japanese **- ❌ Edited message files will most likely fail to compile, resulting in crashes and softlocks. If you can help localize/translate, please do! This is a high priority! No volunteers
Chinese (Simplified) - ❗ by Ludoshel, NOTE that it still crashes in game. This is due to: edited message files will most likely fail to compile, resulting in crashes and softlocks (I can't fix this, this is an issue with AST. Once it is fixed on their end I can fix it.)
Chinese (Traditional) ❌ Edited message files will most likely fail to compile, resulting in crashes and softlocks. If you can help localize/translate, please do! This is a high priority! No volunteers
**Korean **- by Trill, proofreading and editing has been requested by her so if you're familiar with ENG to Korean please let me know!

More info about localization here - #1094412112576651314 message

[stone ibex]

oh
nice

[stone ibex]

uhm
excuse me?

[unique beacon]

Yayyy!! Glad to have helped with this!

[kindred comet]

huh

i thought i pasted the hair keyframes for that one

well i'll fix it eventually

Anyways I'd like to mention, my efforts will be focused on adding localizations. I now consider almost everything to be finalized (will still address animation bugs) and would like to release the mod sometime next month. I will still be accepting costumes, bustups, thieves den art, and any other smaller contributions. Full release & trailer will be soon!

[open gull]

Oh yeah, I might've mentioned that I did an edit to fix some very minor discolouring on the transformation model which is lot of custom models use as a base. (Left is the discoloured hand, right is the arm texture from her other models. This edit fixes the hand) Do what you will with it.

Also edited the Sophia costume to use the more vibrant hair texture from Violet's Phantom Thief outfit (which I personally feel is closer to Sophia's own hair colour)
(Did something similar with the Yunaka costume too a while back.)

[stone ibex]

wait
who sophia?

[open gull]

She's from Persona 5 Strikers.

[stone ibex]

oh
costume for violet?

sorry
im not following how sophia is related to violet here

[open gull]

Yea. The rest of the cast has their outfits from that game ported over as CBT costumes. Since Violet doesn't appear in Strikers (that game was being developed at the same time as Royal), she has a costume based on that game's newcomer Sophia instead.

[stone ibex]

the blue dress?

my brain not braining honestly

[open gull]

That's alright mate.

[stone ibex]

might have to check the outfit to see which outfit you are talking about

[open gull]

It's the "Summer Break Outfit" added by Custom Bonus Tweaks.

So its not in the base game.

[stone ibex]

yeah
imma go check it tonight

[stone ibex]

doesnt look like summer-ish

look a bit winter-ish

but what do i know?
i live in the 2 season nation

[open gull]

Yea the name is kinda misleading in Violet's case.
I personally would've named it "Sophia Costume" in a similar vein to Morgana's Aigis and Teddie costumes.

[stone ibex]

also
audio replay error (doesnt impact gameplay) appear a lot when in pride's palace

[kindred comet]

Nice, unfortunately I won't be using this as I've compressed various versions of this texture to reduce model sizes (plus there's just a lot)

[open gull]

Outta curiosity, what settings/compression do you use for that? I kinda wanna give em a compare.

[kindred comet]

I forgot but usually BC7 at various resolutions depending on how much the texture is used

Sometimes might compress as BC1 or BC3 although BC7 is most often better regardless

[open gull]

Ah alr!

[kindred comet]

If you would like to replace them you're welcome to, I just can't guarantee I'll use them

[open gull]

Oh I was just curious as to what types of compressions work with the game.

[dark verge]

Heyyy I don't know if I did model swap or something or if it's this mod or another but in the interigation room scenes when you get a new social link before Kasumi didn't have a ribbon but since I downloaded the new Rose and Violrt mod along with all the stuff it needed now Kasumi has her ribbon. Anyway to change it back to no ribbon? Feel like more fitting

[kindred comet]

If it started happening after R&V, it's a change R&V makes

This has nothing to do with my mod but I will answer the latter, you would have to change it back manually in Zylvos's alternate model mod

[zealous fjord]

Yes, I've kept the ponytail for the interrogation scene in the model mod. I prefer the ponytail and I don't want to redo the portrait

[dark verge]

Ahhh oki. Ya thays fine. Thank yees

[drifting veldt]

how i can download this mod latest version?

2nd pinned message

[analog marlin]

hey @kindred comet if we want to tip you some money for the incredible work you've been doing, do you have a paypal or kofi or patreon? your mod is a dream come true

i cannot thank you enough for this

[kindred comet]

I'm glad you're enjoying the mod, and thank you! I'm not accepting tips right now nor am I sure I even should at any point but regardless I really appreciate the sentiment so much! 💜

[bronze depot]

what kind of a versioning system is this

[astral chasm]

a secret one

[outer crane]

Does anyone know where to grab the latest beta build for this? Thank you in advance!

[stone ibex]

2nd pinned message

[earnest wave]

Hi, when i try to start the mod on my steam deck i get this error and this is my modlist

[sick elm]

If you're using R&V I think the she/her ones brick it?

oh steam deck

[urban anvil]

remove old config file maybe

i dont rmember but it could also be the .net version thing

[kindred comet]

try following this video #1094412112576651314 message

if that doesnt fix it then idk

i dont have a steam deck so i cant really test any of this

[small stream]

Wisteria the recent ryoframe work update broke one of your animation, when saving your phone now just pop in and out.

[open gull]

Oh? I thought ryo framework was just for audio.

[small stream]

animation also uses ryo.... i think

before that ryoframe update the saving animation was okay, but i could be wrong as i forgot what other mod was updated along with ryoframe

[kindred comet]

Ryo is for audio & movie files only

idk how it would break that animation unless it includes a random field gap or somehow breaks the call for that anim, which I doubt

[kindred comet]

well i cant even test it because reloaded is getting into a dependency loop for UE toolkit (whatever that is) that hangs the program for like 6 min

[astral chasm]

I had no issues as well with the ryoframe update

[kindred comet]

yeah its fine for me too

idk what would be causing that but its probably something unrelated to my mod

[astral chasm]

do we have an estimate for when version 1.0 will be officially released? Just curious, Wist! 😊

[kindred comet]

hopefully by mid July 🤞

[tough phoenix]

does 0.9.9 have the portrait edits?

[tough phoenix]

guys what did i do wrong.. 💔

[open gull]

Do you have a costume equipped?

[tough phoenix]

mm i don't think so, this was right after the first awakening

that was my thought cuz it was working fine in the prologue

[fallow lily]

what is the newest version

[kindred comet]

2nd pinned message

[kindred comet]

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

[tough phoenix]

tysm 😭

[kindred sonnet]

just checking is my version upto date?

[kindred comet]

yeah

i havent released any new builds since like last month

[kindred sonnet]

ok thank you

btw amazing work your doing keep up the amazing work. You breathed new life into the game.

[small stream]

yeah same as your PRE-3-0.9.9-HF-3

[jade raptor]

where is the link to the most recent version of the mod? on Gamebanana it says it was uploaded 2 years ago

[velvet crow]

Check pinned messages

[slate apex]

can is still use arsene ? seems the default persona when using this mod is change to cendrelion

[astral chasm]

you can change it in mod configs

[urban walrus]

Just started using the Kasumi mod and it's great; however, the only outfit I have is "UNUSED". Is this normal? I installed the Add-on mod as well that says it adds some outfits but I don't have any other outfits. I'm on 4/12 and got the outfits from the box already.

I also switch it to Default Cendrillion but still ended up with Arsene

[rain tangle]

I believe you have to set Joker to slot 1 in costume framework

[urban walrus]

Yeah it's already slot 1. I looked into the projects and found Rose & Violet Story mods and followed the instructions to get them working with this mod and everything seems to work. Strange that I can't get this one to work without the other.

Well rather, I think it just wasn't working with Costume Framework.

[sick elm]

Does anyone have the link to the fade out event mod? I rebuilt my PC and had to fully reintall reloaded 2 so I am missing stuff

[zealous fjord]

https://github.com/DeathChaos25/p5rpc.evt.fadeouttablemerge/releases

@kindred comet There's an issue with the "music.pme" in the Gekkoukan High costume folder (OptionalModFiles in the main mod). The game can't find the battle music (victory music works fine though)

I don't know if it's really needed. Removing the file makes the two musics work correctly. Did you want to replace one of them?

[sick elm]

Ah tysm, it actually auto downloaded literally an hour after I sent that previous message

[kindred comet]

doing that nukes the ambush music I set

and also I did want to add more

im pretty sure I did break it at one point but was planning to fix it alongside adding some more remixes granted I get permission

[zealous fjord]

Oh, alright. That's definitely the ambush music that's broken here. I haven't tried a normal battle

[kindred comet]

I think both are broken but idr?

normal plays wiping all out, ambush plays pull the trigger

although I think I might just let both of them play regardless

[zealous fjord]

@kindred comet There was another issue with the bathrooms. I've fixed them again, here are all the files.
This time, I've edited
FHIT_002_003_02.msg
FHIT_002_003_01.msg
FHIT_002_003_00.msg
FHIT_002_002_02.msg
I think the person that made those originally forgot to edit the "men" dialogues (used for the ladies' bathrooms). The boys' bathrooms dialogues were correctly edited.
They go in OptionalModFiles\Flowscript\Restroom\BF\FIELD\HIT

I've tested it on 06/15. Works for all bathrooms on both buildings. The issue was mostly for the practice building

[kindred comet]

pain

thanks

[astral chasm]

Hey, just wondering: are you guys using Reloaded 2.5 Remix? Any mod conflicts with it?

[kindred comet]

remix should work fine, i use it personally

[rigid stirrup]

Ah- think i missed an update somewhere, gonna try again now

[half scaffold]

[west cape]

So I'm installing this for the first time, what does the Addon mod do?

[urban anvil]

extra outfits

[west cape]

Is there a place I need to put it in the mod load order?

Working off the Rose & Violet Story installation pdf

[urban anvil]

its not really necessary and its kinda buggy

from what i remember

[west cape]

So disable it for now, got it

Well everything is configured. Wish me luck

[tawny fable]

has the mod been fully released yet or should I wait till later this month.

[atomic sequoia]

I was wondering that too but I assume wait since the gamebanana file is from 2 years ago. Would like to know though, like if the .99 version is available or needs testing or anything

[urban anvil]

the latest version is in pinned

[atomic sequoia]

Oh I see it now - discord has changed a bit since I last used it. Thanks!

[kindred sonnet]

is there a differnce with the bustup options or a preview?

[neon moon]

shall I only download KasumiasProtag-PRE-RELEASE-3-HF-3?

[tawny fable]

@kindred comet How’s the mod coming along here to see if you’re still willing to work with me on that switch build of it?

[kindred comet]

its pretty much finalized, I'm just waiting on localization and regardless of whether or not I get that I will release it on or by the 20th

also you are more than welcome to work on that switch port

I do recommend waiting for full release but it should be ok regardless

[willow prairie]

wait, july 20th is the release date? can't wait!

[kindred comet]

yea! I just need to make the trailer and then actually implement Korean and any other localizations once/if they are finished

[tawny fable]

Alright I’ll start the work on the port on the 20th if im free that is.

[charred island]

Switch port (⁠☆⁠▽⁠☆⁠) !!!!

(very interested in that, very excited to have that when I modify my switch)

[knotty aurora]

Careful meovv works for nintendo and will brick your console!

[charred island]

😔

[kindred comet]

did some mod update break the test field??

its always equipping phantom suit and is playing the darts music now for some reason

okay i think cbt changed it

[tawny fable]

it might only work on switch emulators depending on the ram though but ill try to get it to where its workable on it cant say the port will work in all honesty though so no promises about that.

[tawny fable]

oh and wisteria when we start work on it just want to know if you'll be there to help with the port? i know i got your permission to work on it last month but the original creator of the mod helps will be appreciated.

[kindred comet]

I can't really guarantee I will be, I'm going to be more busy after I release this mod and to be honest I'm just kinda burnt out - that being said you are free to ask me any questions regardless and I'll try and help if I can

I'm not really familiar with P5R switch modding though, like I said I kinda just chucked the files onto my sd card and tried booting it on my switch

[tawny fable]

that's why it didn't work your supposed to convert models to be able to play them on switch that's what i know about mods on the switch though besides a few bits of knowledge here and there so I'm not really an expert about modding this game such as the information i gave you about animation files.

[kindred comet]

That isn't why

I did convert the models for switch, the animations are what crash it

It only booted after I nuked some of the field animations

See here

[tawny fable]

well this will be easier than i initially thought.

way easier

[kindred comet]

As long as the gap files arent hitting what I presume to be a mem limit then hopefully yeah

[tawny fable]

that's what i was thinking is going on ill do some research to see if there is a way to fix that issue.

wait did you get the animations from the original kasumi model?

or did you edit the animations in any way?

nevermind ill just figure it out.

I'm just going to wait for the full release but ill research some stuff to try to fix that in the mean time.

[tawny fable]

hey wisteria i had an idea to see if its the switch data limit you said you only tested it on switch right if so did you test it on a emulator.

Ill just stop bothering you for the time being good night.

[kindred comet]

some are edited & some are directly from kasumi's anims

[kindred comet]

i could try im just kinda lazy tbh

idk if i have my eshop nsp dumped onto my pc

[tawny fable]

alright just tell me the results once you have that done if it doesn't work would you kindly give me the file and ill see what i can do to get it working if not ill just work on it on the 20th as planned.

ill discuss with you about the edited animations that might be a problem if its a data limit issue but don't take my word for it I'm not an expert at modding for switch just recently got into it.

[tawny fable]

and if you don't have the nsp dumped onto your pc you can just send me the mod file with the animations left and ill see if it works just send me the converted switch port you made to test if it works with the emulator will know if its a switch mem limit issue.

that is if your fine with it.

[kindred sonnet]

I noticed using this bustups option in the kasumi as protag mod that her mole is missing is almost all of them I only noticed it in one of them. Did I miss something?

[snow aspen]

That was not for Rose

[kindred sonnet]

?

[snow aspen]

L7’s portraits were made for Violet Kasumi and not the Rose Kasumi

[kindred comet]

sumire doesn't have a mole

you're thinking of rose and violet kasumi

[kindred sonnet]

ok

so default bustups are for the rose and violet mod? the other two are stand alone

if your just running the protag mod?

is there any chance of getting L7's with a mole? for Kasumi in the rose and violet mod

[kindred comet]

I'm not the person to ask, rose and violet is not my mod

that being said L7M3 said they were working on the rose and violet version too

[kindred comet]

not sure what you mean

my mod contains zero rose and violet assets

its all sumire

default bustups mean default Sumire (ponytail) bustups

if the default option is showing as R&V Kasumi then R&V is overwriting them

(which is what should be happening)

to reiterate - my mod is not related to rose and violet

rose and violet simply depends on my mod. our mods are both standalone

if you change options in the config for my mod, it follows that it'll reflect options from my mod and not r&v

[kindred sonnet]

nvm sorry i confused myself i figured it out

[zealous fjord]

Yes, L7M3 has made portraits for Rose & Violet too. I haven't implemented them yet

[kindred sonnet]

nice looking forward to them I love his work but then I love everyone's work on both mods you lot are brilliant

[tawny fable]

@kindred comet I had an idea to see if we can fix the issue with the games data limit being hit for the switch version but I’m going to need to know if it’s actually a memory limit issue so where going to need to test it.

[barren temple]

just wanting to ask , how far is your mod btw ,i am exited to play your and wisterias mods together ^^

[zealous fjord]

Rose & Violet is currently in beta and fully playable. I'd say the only thing missing is new romances, but I'll look into later. Both my mod and Wisteria's are currently in testing, but release on Gamebanana shouldn't be too far off now

[barren temple]

allright thx , im waiting for the full release for both of them ,its realy impressive what you can do with mods

[kindred comet]

You are free to test it, just copy the model folder over and convert the model textures for switch

[tawny fable]

Ok

[tawny fable]

I was hoping you already had the models converted so I wouldn’t have to go through the process but alright.

[kindred comet]

I think I do still have it somewhere let me check

here, try this

i dont remember what state i left this in or if it even works but it should? work

[tawny fable]

So which version did you use for the port?

nevermind dumb question.

[tawny fable]

hey uh dumb question i turned this into a cpk file I'm starting as the regular joker when i start new game how you set it up to play on the switch?

[kindred comet]

idk, it should work

try using the p5r skyline plugin

https://github.com/Raytwo/p5rcbt

[tawny fable]

oh i didnt use that ill try it

[tawny fable]

dumb question haven't set up one of these in a while so where do i place the cpk file after i place the p5rcbt in the bind file my path goes like this atmosphere/contents/01005CA01580E000/romfs/cpk/bind/p5rcbt am i doing something wrong here?

[kindred comet]

you dont need a cpk

its a loose file loader

put the contents in sd:/p5r/ and it should work

i would check how i did it but my sd card got wiped

if you're on an emulator it should work the same way

just substitute sd with the emulator's sdcard path

[tawny fable]

alright i didn't do that ill just use the base file i just thought it needed to be a cpk file so thanks

base file you sent me i mean

[kindred comet]

👍

actually i still happen to have the p5r folder on my sdcard so i'll just grab that and lob it to you

although again i have no idea what state its in

not sure if i deleted the field gaps from this version or not

if i did you can just put them back in

anyways i would expect it to break on emulators too

unless they somehow increase the memory pool without breaking things

[tawny fable]

? doesn't a emulator have more memory because its running off of your pc?

[kindred comet]

i cant attest to switch emulation but im p sure emulators generally have the same memory pool as their counterparts

some have options to expand their memory pool at the cost of stability, and options like this are usually experimental

you're emulating a console, not running the game natively

[tawny fable]

switch has 4 gbs of ram even lower end pcs tend to have at least 8 and emulators can run games off of more ram im running games from at least 8 ram but it can go up to 64 but every other ram thats above 8 says unsafe on the emulator im using

so i can test the memory limit with this

[kindred comet]

that isnt exactly how it works

[tawny fable]

memory limit in games is the max amount of ram a game can utilize is that right? or am i getting something wrong here?

[kindred comet]

yes, but you're not running the game natively - where it would have far more access to your system resources

emulators emulate the console on a software level

even with the switch specs being pretty low you would generally need a pc more powerful than a switch to emulate it at full speed

the point im making here is just because you have more memory that doesnt translate to bypassing memory limitations in an emulator unless it explicitly lets you expand its memory pool

im pretty sure emulators have the same memory pool as the consoles they're emulating as to not break things

[tawny fable]

i understand now but i have an idea if thats the case

if its the memory limit that is

[kindred comet]

i cant say for sure but i do assume it is

also i just tested it rn and yeah it does hang on yuzu

[tawny fable]

so it crashes on on yuzu huh

[kindred comet]

yeah

pretty much after opening the game

[tawny fable]

so heres my dumb idea

[kindred comet]

also to confirm that skyline mod does work on emulators, i got the mod to load after nuking all the animations

[tawny fable]

so did it run?

[kindred comet]

yeah but i had to nuke the animations, same as on my switch

[tawny fable]

can yoou send me the path you ran i want to test some things and ill get back to you with it

[kindred comet]

put this in your emulator's sd/sdmc folder

for yuzu it would be %appdata%\yuzu\sdmc

and ofc install the skyline plugin there too

hard crashes on ryujinx too

[tawny fable]

im currently using citron ill try it there

[tawny fable]

how did you get the mod to laod in ryujinx thats the only way i can get mods to load is the same way as in ryujinx for citron im trying to do this but no mods are loading up for this

I mean what path did you use for ryujinx?

[kindred comet]

the sdcard path

extract the p5rcbt zip and p5r zip i sent into the sdcard path root

[tawny fable]

so is the files name that or is it the stuff within the file?

[kindred comet]

like this

[tawny fable]

I set it up based on guides I set it up the way you set it up it just ain’t working for some reason it loads the base game

[kindred comet]

where did you put the skyline plugin

did you extract the zip into the root of the sd card or did you throw it in p5r's mod folder

[tawny fable]

I threw the p5r mod folder in there

[kindred comet]

in where

everything is supposed to go onto the root sd folder

just extract both zips directly into the sdcard folder

nowhere else

[tawny fable]

The p5rcbt folder is in the 01005ca0180e000/romfs/skyline/plugin

The p5r is in the sd card

[kindred comet]

...?

yeah just

extract the p5rcbt zip into the sdcard folder 😭

[tawny fable]

ok it’s there

[kindred comet]

should work now

[tawny fable]

It’s still not loaded.

Did i do something wrong with skyline?

[kindred comet]

can you screenshot your sdcard folder

[kindred comet]

you downloaded the source code

download the zip from the releases tab

[tawny fable]

which one?

skyline or p5rcbt

[kindred comet]

p5rcbt

this should be it https://github.com/Raytwo/p5rcbt/releases/download/v0.0.2/release.zip

[tawny fable]

Ok I downloaded it and placed it in the sd file but still no mod?

So did I place the mod in the wrong location where did you put your mod?

[kindred comet]

i dunno, you should just be able to extract it into the sdmc folder

[tawny fable]

still there?

wait did you give it the mod a specific folder name

[tawny fable]

you know what just send me a screenshot of the location you dropped the mod file.

[kindred comet]

as i said just drop it into the root sdcard folder

if that doesnt fix it then sorry i cant help you

[tawny fable]

I’m talking about the mod itself though not the p5rcbt stuff?

[kindred comet]

again just drop it into the root sdcard folder

if its crashing that means its loaded

[tawny fable]

It’s not crashing I’ll try a few things to see if I can get it loaded then I’ll message you back

alright i reldownloaded the mod you sent it seems that redownloading the mod and placing it over the first fixed the problem and now its crashing

[kindred comet]

https://tenor.com/view/tgaa-dgs2-susato-mikotaba-ryutaro-yes-gif-758894343014872255

[tawny fable]

Ok I managed to get to the online features thing and click on no before it crashed after doing some stuff

So it looks like if where going to have field animations where going to have to find a way to shrink the data where using.

Okay I got passed the no on the online features thing and then it froze I’m have some questions about this mod before you go to bed miss @kindred comet

[kindred comet]

Whats up?

[tawny fable]

So do you have any unused features or files in the mod for my first question there’s going to be multiple?

[kindred comet]

There shouldn't be I think

[tawny fable]

Is there any custom audio files?

[urban anvil]

kinda yea

[tawny fable]

Maybe we can reduce the audio file sizes

And what’s the texture resolution?

[kindred comet]

those arent included in that zip i gave you

[urban anvil]

yea its its own mod

[kindred comet]

also idk but i do remember downscaling a bunch of them

[tawny fable]

Might need to downscale it a bit more to see if that can help with the memory limit issue if not I have another suggestion.

[kindred comet]

whats that?

[tawny fable]

? You know the switch’s memory limit issue with the game?

[kindred comet]

no i meant whats your other suggestion

[tawny fable]

Maybe check for a memory leak in the field other than that my last suggestion most likely would break the game

Or at least the models with animations

It’s creating simplified animations to reduce memory

I don’t have many suggestions for it seeing as it’s a memory limit issue but I have a idea that most likely won’t work

It’s a memory leak in the update of persona 5 royal

1.0.2 update that is

That’s all I have to say for the time being

@kindred comet What do you think

[kindred comet]

like i said, idk much about p5r switch so i cant say much

as for the animations its probably just due to the sheer amount of bones sumire has

i cant really simplify them since im not rly an animator and also because i dont wanna go back into the anim editing coal mines

if you want to though you are fully allowed to

[tawny fable]

I’m not an animator as well ain’t really my strong suit but I’ll see if that guy I previously talked about is willing to help with that.

[tawny fable]

I have one last question do you have any optimizer for the switch version?

[kindred comet]

I don't

[tawny fable]

He says the only way to optimize the game is to optimize the models and textures

[tawny fable]

Is it possible to run the mod on version 1.0.0?

[kindred comet]

Idk but i think the first version of it is

[tawny fable]

So it can run in the first version

From what I’ve seen on the internet the version where using had a memory leak issue so that’s a path to see if we can get it to work

[tawny fable]

The guy I’m working with is asking if you know what animation in particular is causing the crash?

[kindred comet]

not really

pretty much most of the large field gaps

[tawny fable]

Gaps?

Sorry I’m not familiar with that terminology

[kindred comet]

the animation containers

.gap

[tawny fable]

Oh the .gap files

So is it the large ones or every one

[kindred comet]

large ones im pretty sure

but again i didnt do extensive testing so idk

[tawny fable]

Well I’ll take out the large gap files and try to run it if that works let’s see if we can shrink the size of them

[tawny fable]

He says maybe remove a few frames of animation of the end of the animation file or there’s a missing animation frame in it

I mean missing animation

But I doubt it’s the missing animation

[tawny fable]

Oh and wisteria I got a question for ya what’s the base file and model file what are they towards?

[tawny fable]

here are the animations that cause it to crash on p5r switch

and atleast one of these are key for the model not to break as seen in the picture above

@kindred comet the mod works but the skeleton is screwed up

[kindred comet]

i would assume thats because the field anims are gone

[tawny fable]

I left most of the animations in the folders but just a few of them caused the game to crash those are in the file I sent.

As in the animations that crashed the game are in the folder I sent

[tawny fable]

I’ll be working on this the next few days to see what can be done for the port

[tawny fable]

@kindred comet I got it to run with all but one of the gap animation files

[kindred comet]

which one?

[tawny fable]

i used a mod of another creator to get it running though

ill send you it

yeah and the skeleton is still broken but ill send you the link of the mod i used and the results i came up with the pictures

seems when doing something the skeleton goes to normal

ill let you look over that while i grab a link to the mod i used to run it

https://gbatemp.net/threads/persona-5-royal-1080p-720p-mod.622556/

I’m going to be doing some more stuff such as editing the animations by taken out a few grams out of each individual one to see if that would help with the memory limit issue if that doesn’t work going to be doing some more stuff to try to figure it out

@kindred comet What do you think of the progress so far and do you have any critiques for me?

[kindred comet]

Looks good

[tawny fable]

Have any ideas to decrease the memory the mod used?

[kindred comet]

Not really, I guess the most obvious solution would be deleting some keyframes from each animation

[tawny fable]

Yeah that’s what I’m going for at the moment but I was hoping for more ideas I guess that should work seeing as this is not the complete version of the mod.

[kindred comet]

I don't really have any other ideas unfortunately

[tawny fable]

just a question what did you use to edit the animations?

[kindred comet]

Blender and gfstoolsforblender

[tawny fable]

@kindred cometi was thinking if we put the models and animation in a cpk file that might help with it

[tawny fable]

turned just the p5r file into a patch file heres the results

all the data that was in the p5r file was in there including the animations so

currently compressing both the portible file and the p5r file you sent earlier with my previous work

[tawny fable]

i got the mod loaded up by turning everything into a cpk file to load but theres still a problem with the skeleton any ideas

heres the mod as a cpk file with every animation in it

or every animation you sent

[tawny fable]

@kindred comet every part of the mod can load as long as its part of a cpk file but im wondering if you sent me the file without the field animations that fix the skeleton issue?

[kindred comet]

no

her proportions are getting stretched because the field animations are missing

so its just using joker's animations

oh wait i re-read what you said

idk

[tawny fable]

but i have every field animation in this cpk file that you sent me

[kindred comet]

just import them from the latest test build

[tawny fable]

in the file i turned into a cpk file

alright

[tawny fable]

Hey I now know it’s possible to turn this into a working mod for switch so after you release the test build I’ll just ask you to do what you did with the previous portable mod attempt and I’ll do the rest to get it working alright

@kindred comet That fine with you?

[kindred comet]

Yes that's alright

Thanks for asking

[tawny fable]

Ok I’ll wait to get that mod just @me when you send the file alright

Oh and @paper gazelle the guy I was working with shortened a few animations took out some key frames so it should work better

[paper gazelle]

I forgot i was even in this server
I managed to remove half of the key frames from a good portion of the animations for BF0001_051 animation file, and i shorted some long animations
I cant say for certain that editing the animations like i did will really help

[old meteor]

So any chance for an option sometime to make our player Kasumi taller like Joker so she fits better and maybe a hair color option so she's not an exact copy of the other Kasumi?

[sonic finch]

The taller thing would need all the animations to be redone to fit the taller skeleton or else Stretchsumi happens

Otherwise for different hair colour there's Zylvos' alternate model mod with the brown hair and mole + white leotard

In theory that should work without Rose and Violet if you just want vanilla stuff

[urban anvil]

well when you see how tall joker is its kinda scary

[sonic finch]

Like Pikadorf but Kasumi

[old meteor]

I thought the alternate models wasn't campatible with the current version so I did not try it. But fair enough on the animations I guess.

[sonic finch]

I'd check with Zylvos and Wisteria to be certain but I'm pretty sure it'd work if you just took the Hotfixed models mod from the Rose and Violet download

Hell there's the long hair option too for a bigger distinction

[old meteor]

Yeah I was just testing the other day and liked the Sumi hair and glasses version

[swift lintel]

I wrote some instructions for setting up Rose & Violet (before Zylvos updated everything today, lol). I'm not sure if the alternate models mods are still on their google drive & can't check because I'm at work right, but maybe this could help?

[kindred comet]

Never happening, while technically possible I have no personal interest in that and I don't want to deal with animations/models anymore

[small stream]

Wisteria i wanna check the misalignment of the rapier in kasumi hand is cause of this mod right? just wanna know as i wish to find a way to fix it.

[kindred comet]

Yeah, idk how to fix it without breaking the rapier during showtimes again

[tawny fable]

@kindred comet does the story change with the mod or do we need that rose and violet story mod for it to work if so can you do the same thing for that to get it to switch like you did first and ill just set up the rest like we plan to do with your mod are you fine with that?

[kindred comet]

it doesnt, that would be too much work

also im not the creator of rose and violet, if you want to make a switch port you'd have to ask zylvos

although you should probably wait for the full release of that mod

[tawny fable]

yeah alright

[tawny fable]

@kindred comet Zylvos is allowing me to port the mod there releasing there’s after you release yours.

So I have something to ask of you can you do what you did with the portable version of your mod with zylvos mod and I’ll set up the rest.

If you don’t mind that is.

[snow aspen]

You’re locking in for this Silver

[kindred comet]

Uhh I could but no guarantees it'll happen, I'm pretty busy this week on top of having to make the trailer and finalize things for the mod

Once I do get the mod out I'm probably going to take a break from P5 modding for a while

[half scaffold]

Onto better and brighter avenues

[tawny fable]

thanks but if your Able can you tell me what you did for the mod conversions if you decide not to do it I’ll try to get it working but there’s no guarantee on my end that I’ll get it working I’m still new to modding persona games along with switch.

[kindred comet]

just convert the textures for switch, there's a guide on p5r switch gamebanana

[tawny fable]

Oh just convert textures huh

[snow aspen]

Okay Silver what are you trying to do?

[tawny fable]

convert the mods to switch while keeping them under the games memory limitation to keep it working

[snow aspen]

To make it work with an actual Switch? Still surprised it can run the game at all

[tawny fable]

So why you ask?

Just curious if you don’t mind answering

@snow aspen you have any other questions I’m willing to answer to the best of my ability.

[snow aspen]

I’m just curious what do you are trying to do outside of polishing the mod to work on like Ryujinx or something

[tawny fable]

I just want to gain experience in modding the game I saw this as a good project which interested me and saw that it was created with a passion so I thought if the mod maker themselves where willing to have it on the switch I would do my best to get it working for it.

oh and if anyone needs me on Tuesdays I’m normally not on around this time I have stuff to do with competing in smash tournaments only reason why I’m willing to answer questions now is to kill time in all honesty my matches got postponed do to technical issues.

[snow aspen]

You a competitive Smash player?

[tawny fable]

Yes albeit currently in tier 3 tournaments

[kindred comet]

I'm more than likely going to start work on making the trailer today. Any and all contributions must be made by Friday or else they will be excluded in the first full release (though I don't think there's really any)

I still need localization for japanese and Chinese traditional but I will likely add them post launch and will advertise it more heavily

Also I will release the next build a day before release, so probably on Saturday

@grizzled crystal iirc you were working on some costumes, would you like them to be included in the addon mod or are you releasing them separately on gb?

[kindred comet]

Post launch I will probably finish up Sumire overhaul so hopefully more anims have hair keyframes. That's currently all I have planned for now aside from bug fixes

[pallid plover]

nice to see that you're gonna be releasing soon :)

I was back reading and it sounds like you want a modding break and I totally understand that one 💀💀 it's tiring to work on long projects like this

[grizzled crystal]

i’m planning on releasing them separately on gb but i don’t have wifi until next week so i can’t even load up the game to check they all work

[kindred comet]

[kindred comet]

Yea it is honestly LMFAOOOO I did enjoy working on it but it definitely burnt me out which happens easily with big projects long this 😭😭 I am happy with the state of the mod though so I'm very glad about that

[tawny fable]

@kindred comet I’ve been meaning to ask you something about the mod are there custom costumes for the characters in it besides the add on mods?

[tawny fable]

@kindred comet You fine if I round up a few people to test for bugs on the switch version?

I’ll only do so on your permission

[snow aspen]

I mean I wouldn’t mind I do have one on me

[tawny fable]

I’ll only do it with the creators permissions.

[kindred comet]

Yea that's fine

[kindred comet]

the costumes are in the main mods optional files so yeah

[tawny fable]

@kindred comet once your back I'm wondering what field animation you took out that caused the body to go all Slenderman been looking for it cant find it

[tawny fable]

So who wants to volunteer to test for switch version

[snow aspen]

I would

Just need help to get it to work on real hardware tho

[pallid plover]

i think you don't have to ping wisteria every time you have a question, they will respond when they can

[pallid plover]

super valid yeah 😭 it's good to pace yourself with the time you have but I'm glad you think the mod turned out well :) it's certainly been looking very nice. I'll gas it up when it drops if I remember

[kindred comet]

Thank you goat 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥺🥺

[kindred comet]

iirc some of the ones that start with BF

just use gfd studio to check

[tawny fable]

Alright

[kindred comet]

@tired shale i was running into some crashes with thieves den enhanced with my mod, i moved the spd sound stuff to spd emulator and it works now. here's the femulator folder if you want to push out a quick hotfix or anything (granted i dont even think the mod even works with the latest version of cbt but alas)

[tawny fable]

I'm currently stuck on step seven in the tutorial you gave me can you help.

[kindred comet]

?

wdym

also im a bit busy rn, im making the trailer rn

I can try and provide help later but to be honest I was under the impression you've modded p5r switch before

I can try and provide general advice but I don't really want to spoon-feed info

[tawny fable]

never mind got it it was a simple mistake

[kindred comet]

trailer is done, will prepare a preview build later today and will get ready for release after i wake up

[snow aspen]

How excited are you to finally release it Wist?

[kindred comet]

Very excited/relieved

[kindred comet]

Okay I think I have the final cut now, I'm going to implement the korean localization and then we should be ready 🤞

[kindred sonnet]

thank you for all your hard work the mod is amazing

[half scaffold]

[kindred comet]

Korean localization has been implemented! Thank you to @trillmunch (she's not in this server) for making it! I would like to note that she requested proofreading and editing so if anyone is fluent in Korean, is familiar with the P5R localization (eng/Korean), and is good with translating eng to Korean please DM me!

Quick refresher on the localization status for anyone curious or interested:

[unique beacon]

I'm so excited! ❤️

[kindred comet]

Simplified Chinese support has been implemented! Currently the game will still crash if flowscript and thieves den config options are toggled on. I can't really do anything about this until AST fixes their charset

If AST fixes it and the changes are pushed to file emulation framework then it should work without me having to do anything additional

Also I think Traditional Chinese is kinda broken too, it throws compiler errors if there's like a single english character anywhere

Hopefully this is something that gets looked into

[trail topaz]

Oh yea it comes out today

[kindred comet]

Now to figure out how to move the updates to a mod page and get a functioning update prompt on the v0.2 version

Oh and here's the pre-launch build. This is the fully featured launch build and I would just like some testing to make sure it works.

Please do not discuss the new images and other assets yet, I'd prefer these to be discussed once I release the trailer

Kasumi as Protag - Launch Preview
Changelog (v0.9.9):

• Added French, German, Spanish, Korean, and Simplified Chinese localizations (please refer to pins for more info and credits)
• Updated an image in the thieves den
• Updated a config option
• I probably tweaked some anims its been a while

https://pixeldrain.com/u/dWb7XGp8

Everything should work as expected, there shouldn't be any breaking changes

[kindred sonnet]

so this is release build?

[kindred comet]

Yes but also no

It is effectively the release build but this is just for play testing purposes to make sure nothing is broken

[kindred sonnet]

ok

[kindred comet]

It has all of the content the release build will have, I just need to make sure nothing is broken. The actual release build will be live on GB soon once I've confirmed nothing blows up

also im too lazy to upload the other addon mods but they do work and kotone's music is fixed

though i do want to add some remixes if possible

might as well ask now

[kindred comet]

also going to try and start using hcas from this point on for music, converted a bunch of the addon mod ones from adx to hca

so hopefully the file size wont be as gargantuan

[kindred comet]

If anyone has used this yet could you let me know if you've ran into any issues or if its stable like usual?

[worldly ibex]

I plan on getting that used today as soon as I can

In fact gonna do that right now!

[zealous fjord]

I've tested it a bit. No issues for me.
I tested the bathhosue/bathroom since it seems like the files were moved in another directory. Works perfectly.
Tested a bit of roaming around, a few events, nothing out of the ordinary. I just noticed that the idle animation in the safe room has changed.

[kindred comet]

Okay good, I'm glad nothing broke

[worldly ibex]

So far nothing is breaking on my end either

[fickle verge]

I tested it and had no problems at all

[kindred sonnet]

tested it same results as zylvos also noticed the changed idle animation in safe room

its just as stable as the old version

[worldly ibex]

Idk if it's just me but it seems doing the big bang challenge the animation of grabbing the burger and eating it is improved.

[worldly ibex]

I think I'm gonna briefly do the intro sequence just for personal curiosity if that's improved or at least smooth as well.

[worldly ibex]

Ok intro was the same as before but still ran perfectly. @kindred comet If you ask me I think the mod is a go!

[kindred comet]

Awesome, thanks for testing!

[worldly ibex]

You're welcome!

[kindred comet]

See you guys soon!

[kindred comet]

time traveler *moves a rock*
the timeline:

[cyan sun]

It finally happening!

[kindred sonnet]

safe to keep the test build installed or should I get the new one off GB

[kindred comet]

Nuke the test build and grab it off of GB

[urban anvil]

heck yeah

[kindred comet]

https://youtu.be/ZbY_qYdY2VI

Have fun :)

[hollow spoke]

Congratz on the release ^^

[astral chasm]

u deserve the world, wist

[kindred comet]

Thank u :DDDD

[astral chasm]

your work is inspiring!!

[kindred comet]

💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

v.0.2 should have an update prompt as well, first to v0.2.3 and then to v1.0.0

[urban anvil]

Looking cool, Wisty!

[tawny fable]

did you release the final version?

[kindred comet]

oh my god its peak

[kindred comet]

well not final version but release version

[tawny fable]

alright ill start work on it soon i just had something come up so i cant start work on it immediately.

[celest thicket]

awesome stuff

[kindred sonnet]

so if im running rose and violet should i drop in your add on pack?

[knotty aurora]

Personally id wait till Zylvos says its ok

Just in case

[fickle verge]

This trailer is absolute cinema. Time to dive back into P5R — but this time, with the mod. I’m so ready!

[barren temple]

god this trailer is fucking awesome

i rly hope that atlus gets that we want a femc in p6 or our community gets the job done

[rain tangle]

Quick question, when downloading the mod, it said I was missing a compatibility addition for Custom Bonus Tweaks. Where exactly would I find it?

[barren temple]

Should i use these 2 or are those allready in the v1 of your mod ? @kindred comet

[kindred comet]

Those aren't needed anymore

[barren temple]

k thx

[kindred comet]

https://gamebanana.com/mods/432481

[kindred comet]

You can if you want, tmk R&V doesn't have some of the costumes that are included in the addon mod

[kindred sonnet]

should i remove my sumire overhaul stand alone mod if i do add it

[barren temple]

should i enable the cendrilon over arsene aspect or should i leave it disabled if i use it with the rose & violet story overhaul ?

[kindred comet]

You could probably keep sumire overhaul

[kindred comet]

iirc Zylvos says to leave it disabled

[barren temple]

ok thx

[kindred sonnet]

I love these two mods changed the game for me

[open gull]

That mod is already covered by Wisty's mod as a toggle, so you don't necessarily need it. The main difference is that the original mod puts Ella over Raoul (without a Satanael replacement), whereas the toggle in Wisty's mod puts Vanadis over Raoul and Ella over NG+ Satanael. If you prefer having Ella over Raoul, you'll want to disable the main mod's "Violet's Personas" and "Persona Skillsets" toggles and install the original Cendrillon + Ella addon. It's really just a matter of preference.

[rain tangle]

Found a slight issue, when running during a rainy day, (the normal run, not sprinting) no footstep noises play. It's fine when slowly walking though.

[kindred comet]

whoops

[rain tangle]

Not sure if it does it when sprinting yet, I'll check and see once I get to that point since I literally just started a playthrough.

[kindred comet]

Werid, they do have the right properties

Might just be an event anim

[swift ether]

I loved the little surprise at the end too!

[deep stirrup]

Congrats on the full release, you’re amazing

[neon onyx]

help

Congrats on full release also

[drifting dust]

ive disabled almost all my mods and im still getting Joker, the only way i can get sumi is if I enable Sumire in the addons and then she becomes a skinwalker during certain animations😭

at least im not alone on that tho

cannot figure it out for the life of me

[rain tangle]

I believe you have to set Joker to slot 1 on Costume Framework

[neon onyx]

OK, let me try that

[drifting dust]

oop yeah that did it

thank you :D

[rain tangle]

You're welcome ! !

[neon onyx]

OK seems to work now thanks

[pale flower]

I've been a silent lurker that's been waiting for the full release since months.

I just want to say that everything runs smoothly as butter! (Started NG)

Thank you all so much for everyone who helped make this mod into what it is today! Y'all are heroes!!

[urban anvil]

hello miku sumi pfp

[neon onyx]

I’ve also been a silent lurker here for a while been really anticipating this

[drifting dust]

its actually really funny that this was released today, i was literally looking at this mods wip yesterday seeing it for the first time and i was like "oh its privated ig it got taken down 🥀"

little did I know...

[drifting dust]

omg fellow miku sumi,,,,

[rain tangle]

We love lurking

[drifting dust]

real i do it all the time

[urban anvil]

i say real but i dont lurk

if i see someone having issues i must help

[rain tangle]

I usually don't lurk either but I've been silent the last couple of months as the localization stuff has been going on and I can't really help with that lol

[rain tangle]

REAL

[drifting dust]

i dont really talk in any servers unless i own them, or its just a friendgroup server, or i need help with something. besides that im silent :3

[urban anvil]

so real

stepping outside my comfort zone is hard

[kindred comet]

Whoops, forgot to mention that you have to set the cf slot

Also if anyone wanted to listen to the new miniboss music, here it is! https://youtu.be/1vU9a1boShg

[drifting dust]

all good lmao

[rain tangle]

I was JUST looking for this omg

[drifting dust]

Actually just curious, does this mod do anything with Joker?

or is it just 2 sumi's

[rain tangle]

2 Sumis

[kindred comet]

[drifting dust]

peak.

[kindred comet]

you will have to use yoshizawa overhaul or joker as party member (whenever that releases) if you dont want her duped as a party member

[drifting dust]

https://tenor.com/view/p5x-its-peak-p5x-its-peak-persona-5-the-phantom-x-its-peak-persona-5-the-phantom-x-gif-11701045614051333839

[drifting dust]

ooo alr

[urban anvil]

When would you ever have to use this emoji

[drifting dust]

well obviously when theres two

silly

[rain tangle]

not me still using the old build for the Joker over NPC Sumi mod lmao,, (idc that he gets absolutely fucked in the real world)

[kindred comet]

[urban anvil]

??!??

[drifting dust]

😭

[urban anvil]

what kinda server you in😭

[rain tangle]

helps differentiate the two tho

[sick breach]

I really want to play this mod but I'm playing p3r p3p and p4g 😭😭

[austere stirrup]

[kindred comet]

[urban anvil]

absolutely insane emoji portfolio

[magic egret]

wait what the hell, i downloaded the game again today with the intention of trying out the old mod and had no idea this existed

what the hell man

how

how is peak so

peak

i don't think we've ever been this back

also didn't know about zylvos's but uuuuuh might wait to play for a bit to get the full package

but god

peak

[swift ether]

The Miniboss Music:

Oh My Star Ocean! I actually teared up a little. It felt like Star Ocean music to me which is very very special to me.

well done!!!! Please thank the artist!

I couldn't decide if it was Star Ocean 1 or 2 or 4!

Simply Yabai Fantastic!

[empty willow]

i just watched the trailer for the full release...... omg

ive never seen such peak in my life

[pale flower]

I have a quick question. Does anyone here know how to revert the battle music back to LS/TO? When using CBT the tracks cycle and it's ass, I don’t like it.

However, I cannot find the configs...

[pallid plover]

CBT has its music toggles under its own config

it's something like enhanced BGM or something

[pale flower]

I found the folder, thank you for the reply anyway!

[pallid plover]

the folder? 🤔 you shouldn't need to touch any folders at all...

also: realizing I never said so in this thread, but congrats on the mod release!

[tawny fable]

I'm working on porting the mod to the switch but i recently came across a problem when converting models any help would be appreciated.

[zealous fjord]

Congratulations on the full release! I'm glad I've been able to contribute to this project. Never did I imagine it would turn out so awesome when I first played with it ~2 years ago, but here we are!

I'm not done with preparing for my release and I'm on Monday morning of a working week, so it might just take a little while longer before I can release Rose & Violet.
I'm making a note of swapping the musics with the hca format and I should definitely make a paragraph about the license too

[kindred comet]

TYSM BRAWLER!!! I'm so glad you've stuck around and followed the mod for this long :D

We will be #seated for the fog restoration's finished release

[kindred comet]

Very crazy :) I totally thought I was done with this mod after I had issues baking physics back in 2023. I'm glad I gave it a second shot and ended up seeing it through until the end

[kindred comet]

No idea, you could try asking @wooden willow since I noticed they've made a switch port before. Realistically you don't even need texa, just anything that can batch convert dds files from one format to another

[violet seal]

hey im needing some help, i cant run the kasumi mod cuz the loader wont download dependencies

[stone ibex]

you know what fun?
finding people outside of this channel/server wanna play your mod

[kindred comet]

Manually grab the fadeout mod from here https://github.com/DeathChaos25/p5rpc.evt.fadeouttablemerge/releases

[urban anvil]

whats also fun is indoctrinating people into this mod

[kindred comet]

idk why reloaded sometimes breaks when trying to download it

[stone ibex]

that sound hilarious

but yeah
I randomly found that person on a different server

and I redirected them here

[violet seal]

https://i.imgur.com/4WsmMgo.jpeg

is it working?

how do i know if the mod is working

[kindred comet]

Definitely not right

[violet seal]

how do i make it work

[kindred comet]

Make sure the mod is enabled, and if it is follow this guide

[stone ibex]

is tao even using the newest version?

[kindred comet]

I should make a video recording of this, I'm just lazy

[violet seal]

yea i just downloaded it today

[kindred comet]

Yeah

CBT isnt a dependency in v0.2

[stone ibex]

oh
uploaded to gamebanana already

[violet seal]

sorry if im stupid

[magic egret]

SHE DOESN'T CLIP THROUGH THE BED???

what is this magic

[stone ibex]

oh
nice

[magic egret]

i can't believe it, an actual change in z axis

the bed's adorable too

i love the idea of sojiro becoming even MORE of a girldad

[kindred comet]

HES SOO GIRLDAD I LOVE HIM

[magic egret]

honestly

one of the best reasons to play as a girl

he's like that dad who absolutely DOES NOT want a cat

and then he babies the fuck out of that cat

[stone ibex]

well
now he got 2 daughter and a cat

[magic egret]

he just can't help taking in strays

yeah exactly

[violet seal]

i dont get this part

[snow aspen]

What config is this

[violet seal]

costume thing

[snow aspen]

Costume Framework didn’t work for me at one point too

[magic egret]

oh

open character assets

[snow aspen]

I just redownloaded it and have the Joker asset to slot 1

[magic egret]

scroll down to joker

and then select slot 11

[snow aspen]

11?

[violet seal]

it says select slot 1

[magic egret]

you don't search kasumi over protag in the search bar for this config

[magic egret]

1

key stuck, sorry

[magic egret]

yeah it was confusing

but after step 9, you exit that config menu

[empty willow]

quick question, do we delete the alternate models test build from a while ago in place of the addon collection or do we keep both?

[magic egret]

and then search kasumi as protag in the main mod list search bar

not the config menu search

config for the costume mod should look like this, i believe

and then search for the main mod here

[violet seal]

oh so the actual mod not in the costume thing so im done with that

[magic egret]

that way you can get into the config menu for THAT mod

yep

i did the same thing LOL

[swift ether]

Someone randomly posted it in Femc general. Made me happy. I am normally too shy to even post Hulkenberg art

[magic egret]

she looks so COMFY

[stone ibex]

comfy kasumi

[magic egret]

i love the L7M3 portraits too

they're really well done

WOOOOOOOOAH

WHAT HAPPENED TO NO ADDED ROMANCES???

[stone ibex]

ara ara

nah
that not kissing

[magic egret]

seriously, she looks brutalized here

[stone ibex]

she just doing a cheeky kiss to piss off ryuji

[swift ether]

Oh speaking of Sojiro as sort of A Kasumi foster dad... Kasumi is a month younger than Futaba. So its pretty natural for him to gravitate to that role for her too! I have a lot of fun with this mod cause it so different from playing as Akage. (Yes. I haven't played as Joker since lfor maybe 2 hours when I bought the game)

In a week I can pull myself out of Metaphor and get back to all the fun changes from the beta!

[magic egret]

i've played this game

way

way too many times

[violet seal]

Is it not possible to replace kasumi with joker?

[stone ibex]

and nothing wrong with that?

[magic egret]

i think i've 100%/platinumed the game three times

[violet seal]

https://i.imgur.com/h1VGyGt.jpeg

cuz this isd kionda huh

[stone ibex]

why would you do that?

that a different chara

[violet seal]

Huh

[magic egret]

yeah uuhh

[violet seal]

Not really

[magic egret]

there's

reasons not to do that

[violet seal]

Why

[magic egret]

reasons

good ones

[stone ibex]

did you not play thought the entire game before?

[violet seal]

Yes i know it’s sumire but it’s still violet

[magic egret]

ok but it could also not be violet

depends on how you wanna RP it really

[stone ibex]

like
you know
R&V

[magic egret]

hell until we get the story mod, you're actually joker crossplaying as violet

so

you are joker!

fixed

[swift ether]

dont spoil r and v here but

[stone ibex]

or
you know
R&V

[swift ether]

in that mod tehy are sisters

[magic egret]

i know nothing about R&V

[stone ibex]

then download it

lol

[magic egret]

but i look forward to losing 80 hours of my life learning about it

where's the link

didn't see it on gamebanana

[swift ether]

oh You I like

[violet seal]

Fuck I can’t fit yoshizawa

[swift ether]

"Force custom protagonist name" mod

[violet seal]

Is it too late after I type my name>

[swift ether]

great mod for well anything honestlt

nope!

[magic egret]

right but is there a link? i see nothing pinned

and i got this when i looked it up on GB

[swift ether]

you can change it to Saki SoraKashu 40 hours into the game and the game will call you that

[stone ibex]

not in pin
so you have to use the search function

[violet seal]

I now want a akechi mod

[stone ibex]

and the GB version is super old so they privated it

[swift ether]

or anything u like of course

[magic egret]

ah ok

well

either way

[stone ibex]

what kind?

[magic egret]

they're updating soon, no?

[violet seal]

The protag is akechi

His animations, persona, voice clips

[magic egret]

i figure i'll just chill, survive the next week at work, cry because i have terrible rolls in p5x, and play it when it updates

[violet seal]

I would love a mode where I can play as akechi

[magic egret]

did find the link tho, so thank you

[violet seal]

Do customs still work for this mod?

Also I swear this mods feels so gender affirming to me

[magic egret]

bro just wants to spend all his money on pancakes

smh

[violet seal]

I love akechi

[magic egret]
