Persona series randomized battle themes: P3 bgm doesn't play after the battle (P3 results)

[ebon summit]

as the title suggests, when I have the persona series randimized battle themes mod enabled, after a battle it doesn't play the persona 3 results theme when the P3 bgms are enabled, I figured I'd show my load order just in case as well

also, when it plays mass destruction it instead plays wiping all out and and when it plays wiping all out it plays one of the original trilogy results themes (P2 I believe)

[carmine girder]

go to BGME Battle Themes and delete your P5R_PC folder. reboot the game and that should fix it

I'm guessing the recent update to random battle themes somehow messed with the song cache, so you just have to delete that folder to reset the cache and have it be regenerated

adding new music will shift bgm ids, but it should be detecting and rebuilding affected songs

[carmine girder]

sounds like it might not be lol. or something idk

[tiny rune]

this is bgme battle themes slander

[carmine girder]

i would never

[ebon summit]

Alright, I saw on the mod page to do that so I did

[carmine girder]

did that resolve the issue?

[ebon summit]

No, when it played mass destruction when I was playing earlier it played the P4 results instead

Well no is more of a "sort of" as other game bgms played they're results themes just fine

[carmine girder]

@tiny rune any ideas with this one? bc I'm all out of ideas here 😔

[tiny rune]

they can send their music.json inside P5R_PC

it'll contain exactly what song is going to what file and id

[ebon summit]

Right, well I just got up so I'll send the json in a bit

[ebon summit]

there's no P5R pc folder, probably because I deleted the directory for P5R pc and P3P pc, and since I've only played P5R there's only one directory, called battle-themes, the other is an FEmulator directory

and the mod page on gamebanana says to delete the directory if your having issues with songs playing properly

[ebon summit]

oh wait no I'm stupid ur asking for the json in the bgme battle themes directory and not the series randimised bgme directories

here u go

[ebon summit]

I was testing out the mod with the bgm set to only persona 3 bgm and it seems to work fine now (results music playing was the persona 3 results)

[carmine girder]

it does specify BGME Battle Themes 😔

[ebon summit]

yes

I did delete the first time around (when I first posted this thread)

and it does seems to work fine now

the only issue modding wise I have is the P3F mod Quick traval plus not working for me, but that's for p3 user help https://discord.com/channels/746211612981198989/1193266243025768448

[carmine girder]

Awesome, sounds good. If you ever run into any issues in the future, usually deleting the game folder in BGME Battle Themes and relaunching will do the job. If you run into any more issues, ping a mod to reopen this post or make a new one

[ebon summit]

@carmine girder not to bother but I got ear fucked by groovy p5d intro and I'm questioning how tf that happened I had it disabled and I deleted the .pme from the costumes and I wasn't even wearing the starlight outfit 💀

I'm gonna delete the p5r_pc folder from battle themes to see if it fixes itself but I thought you should know about it tho lol

@carmine girder Also CBT still conflicts with your mod I found this post and deleted BONUS_TWEAKS_FOLDER/bgme/music and made yours work (besides the corrupted groovy and some outros not playing)

[carmine girder]

what's this about a corrupted groovy? did resetting the bgme cache fix it at all?

and what exactly is the conflict with CBT?

[ebon summit]

The groovy thing was fixed by just deleting the p5 folder from battle theme manager but the conflict I found with CBT was it just played Take Over, and a strikers song (I didn't configure any strikers song so that shouldn't have played) I just deleted a .pme from BONUS_TWEAKS_FOLDER/bgme/music
Which was the ambush for CBT I think that was conflicting with your music mod since after that I was able to hear the other bgms (same time I found the whole "corrupted" groovy lol)

[carmine girder]

so just to be clear, incompatibility with CBT is the main issue right now?

what's your load order?

[ebon summit]

I guess it was just for me? I haven't seen anyone else post a similar issue on here I deleted that .pme and it allowed your mod to fix yourself

I have yours on higher priority

Also since this isn't my post I'll like to mention this is on steam deck and ik that is always a headache

[carmine girder]

steam deck :')
this doesn't sound like a steam deck specific issue though...

I'll try to look into it in the next few days or so, might be an underlying issue no one was aware of

[ebon summit]

Yeah it's weird to me as well usually I see one or two people talking about an issue I have but I guess not. The only thing is I'm having to constantly delete the p5 folder since a lot of victory themes don't pop up 🥲

[carmine girder]

I will say this mod was basically untested on steam deck 😭

but it still seems like a rather odd issue even with that in mind

to me it's sounding like a lot of the themes just aren't building properly?

you're letting it build all the way right?

[ebon summit]

Yeah I found that it's a coin flip of whether or not a theme is built correctly lol

Yes but reload always pops up saying unknown error bcs it takes to long to build but it still runs it in the back so idk what to trust

[carmine girder]

(is that a steam deck thing)

I think if those load times are a steam deck thing, if you just let it run long enough it should build properly and run anyways, you just have to uhhh ignore the message lol

[ebon summit]

I'll take a pic next time I see it since it's late asf for me already

[carmine girder]

yeah same lol, hopefully we can get it figured out in the next few days...

[tiny rune]

it's not really an incompatibility. bonus tweaks sets normal battle bgm. battle themes sets normal battle bgm. one is going to win out

[tiny rune]

it's not a great warning message, but yeah building takes a while and reloaded seems throw it out just based on time. as long as you wait to close it until after everything is loaded, it should be fine. no clue why you're having issues with victory bgm though, or why that'd be fixed by deleting P5R_PC if they worked previously.

[ebon summit]

I thought I had to delete the file that way the mod refreshed itself I guess I'm wrong in that department maybe just had to re launch the game, I'm assuming lol

[ebon summit]

This is the message I was talking about I ignore it since I can see it still running in the back

[tiny rune]

yeah just wait for it to say it's finished loading in the console window, then close the unknown error window

[ebon summit]

Also since this is steam deck I've found that after canceling a hold up or an All Out Attck it'll cut the bgm short so I'm trying out the no hold up bgm mod and see if that prevents that lol

[carmine girder]

any thoughts on this one rena? i would think that if cbt has lower priority, battle themes should just win out

[ebon summit]

Also after doing a few fights seems like no hold up bgm seemed to fix the issue (before I was using Some hold up Bgm mod)

[tiny rune]

define lower priority

whichever loads first has "lower priority"
