#

p4r might unironically reboot this server

dusky thicket
#

1 more year pls

#

sorry meovv pls understand lol

supple oak
#

i was on the same boat with fes hd lol

#

if it's UE4.27 you'll get why im not worried

true gorge
#

hey question, is it okay if I release my variation of the balancing as an addon/something else? I wouldn't want to take away any credit from your work

supple oak
#

its so much more fun to mod

dusky thicket
#

i'll need to learn how to mod it ig

#

ive been thinking about it i just am so behind on it

supple oak
#

esp with fog you'll have a better time

#

that im sure of

#

ive been fucking around with fog in reload

supple oak
true gorge
#

on that note... how does

#

tbl merging work?

#

like if I have a persona.tbl file and it loads after yours

#

will it override ALL of it, or just what is different from vanilla?

dusky thicket
supple oak
#

it tries to override what's different but sometimes it just gets fucked

true gorge
#

is there a way to prevent merging and straight up replace the files?

#

other than manually deleting the mod files

supple oak

goatsuke seems mostly fine, power slash and tempest slash might need buffed a bit depending on what they are currently but otherwise the rest is good. virus wave may also not be a big enough jump from mind slice since they have very similar stats.

chie seems mostly fine, goes a long while before upgrading her single-target phys though so maybe adjust that a lil bit. something in-between black spot and rainy death could be nice, maybe mighty swing due to its high crit?

yukiko's a lot better than base game now, she seems pretty fine for the whole game now tbh. maybe make diarama a bit earlier though, yukari and mitsuru got it around 25 in p3 and she's getting it at 33 for some reason. maybe swap it with fire break? fire amp should also be before salvation at like 72 or something imo cus she gets it weirdly late.

kanji seems fine. fatal end kinda sux but that's a base game thing. rest of his kit is good even if i still object to including vicious strike at all.

teddie's basically base game but that's more than fine. would suggest replacing fast heal with insta-heal since the former kinda sucks, b4 is pretty late and insta-heal isn't even that useful in a game where party members can cure ailments for free with no cost from SL. Mustard Bomb also seems pretty pointless still but you'd need to think on what to replace with.

naoto's been discussed enough to where i think all of our thoughts on her are out already. deathbound's still way too weak compared to megidola so i'd check about maybe either buffing that or replacing it with something else, but the rest is good i'd say.

supple oak
#

like, revert?

worldly jasper
#

yea to base stats

supple oak
#

fr

#

huh

worldly jasper
#

imo they don't need nerfed at all but like its up to you

#

idk how you were doing it specifically

true gorge
#

maybe megidola is a bit overtuned

#

how does deathbound stack up with other phys skills

worldly jasper
#

nah megidola is fine

#

its phys that's bad

supple oak
#

whoa

#

torrent shot and kill rush are insane if i revert

worldly jasper
#

kanji the goat

#

yea multi-hit phys mogs single hit in p4 by a lot

#

with a couple exceptions

true gorge
#

damn

#

180 vs 400

supple oak
#

that's why i toned it down

#

lol

worldly jasper
#

i'd say its single hit that needs buffed tho

#

rather than multi hit needing nerfed

#

cus magic mogs single hit phys

true gorge
#

megidola does 50% more dmg than deathbound

#

and it pierces resistances

worldly jasper
#

untrue

#

it does not pierce resistance.

#

if you know, you are aware.

true gorge
#

yeah i know but you get what i mean

#

I found that these values stick pretty close to phys without going insane

supple oak
#

idk if i feel like these two reverts should be full reverts

true gorge
#

but then again, phys is stronger in your mod

#

whereas i just nerfed phys late game instead of buffing everything else

#

btw shio thanks for the feedback the other day I nerfed morning star and black viper a bit

dusky thicket
# worldly jasper goatsuke seems mostly fine, power slash and tempest slash might need buffed a bi...

i cant make skill changes so i will leave that to meovv

as for the rest

  • chie: I can't give her another skill, there's nothing to give her that's unique that would be a worthwhile skill
  • yukiko: swapped fire amp and salvation, moved amp to 72
  • teddie: switched fast heal to insta heal. I think I'll leave Mustard Bomb be, it's gonna be useless either way I think
  • naoto: I don't think I will make any further changes to her skillset
true gorge
#

This is the current clean table

true gorge
#

23 levels

#

that's 2 whole dungeons (Mitsuo+Late-Lab)

dusky thicket
#

funny that both Yosuke and Chie are lacking single target at that point

true gorge
#

it's less of an issue for chie because her skills are stronger and better spread out

dusky thicket
#

mighty swing is the only real upgrade there that fits

true gorge
#

they go zigzag

supple oak
#

am i done

#

im done

true gorge
#

Mine for reference

dusky thicket
#

I have one more thing to figure out

supple oak
#

ok descriptions and party is all thats left i think

true gorge
dusky thicket
#

I think you're done but if you want to give feedback here

true gorge
#

my tempest slash is variable 3-5 for reference instead of 1-2 and gigantic fist has an average of 280 (tempest slash 288)

dusky thicket
#

Yosuke goes from power slash (34) to Garula + Wind Boost (44) to Garudyne + Wind Boost (53) to Tempest Slash (57)

Chie goes from Black Spot (38) to Rainy Death (64)

would you rather have mighty swing go to Chie or Yosuke

true gorge
dusky thicket
#

rip description

true gorge
#

expand it

dusky thicket
#

you cant

#

you have to make the window larger

#

but this is the default R2 window size

true gorge
#

yeah fair lol

#

but you can drag it horizontally

dusky thicket
true gorge
#

well then i think it's something the reload devs should implement (save window size lol)

dusky thicket
#

I am also still against having magic progression from agi -> agilao -> ... while also removing the phys progression from cleave -> god's hand

true gorge
#

not really but xd

dusky thicket
#

i think you need both or none

#

i will still fight about that one lol

dusky thicket
#

the description should fit in a stock r2 window

true gorge
#

It's hard to be concise

#

when you have done so much that you want to explain everything you did

#

i mean it is a description, so ig you could have a readme inside the mod folder with the long version of the description

dusky thicket
#

the mod page would also have text lol

true gorge
#

and just say: Improved skill progression... blah blah blah in the generic (condensed) desc

true gorge
#

But brawler, what are your thoughts on mighty swing,

#

I think chie already has enough physical skills

#

if anything it's yosuke who needs it

#

you can move rainy death back a bit i guess, I've always thought it was kind of a waste since you get god's hand not long after

dusky thicket
#

personally I am leaning Chie should get it

true gorge
#

remember that she has apt pupil

dusky thicket
#

it is because she is phys focused that she should get it

true gorge
#

so regardless of what she gets, she will always have the higher crit

dusky thicket
#

yosuke can lean back on magic

#

chie cannot

true gorge
#

Chie has the crits though.
I'm thinking that yosuke is akihiko (higher base dmg) and chie is junpei (crits for days)

#

and kanji is the physical dmg beast

dusky thicket
#

yosuke is yosuke and chie is chie, i dont want to compare them to other party members from different games

#

the reality is, they both could use a skill there but there's only one skill available, so I think chie has a higher need for it

true gorge
#

did chie struggle in vanilla?

#

as much as yosuke did at least

sleek cloud
#

nah not at all

dusky thicket
#

yosuke however has skills to make up for it now

true gorge
#

oh hey I've seen you before in gb, i think

#

you gotta remember that chie's skills are naturally better

#

than whatever yosuke gets

worldly jasper
#

i think it overtunes magic really hard

#

especially cus magic also has boost into amp

true gorge
#

actually yeah, that is an issue

#

if we could limit the number of upgrades

dusky thicket
#

cant really

true gorge
#

like agi can only mutate into agilao, but not agidyne

#

but if you start with agilao, then it can upgrade

worldly jasper
#

you can do that but also why would you

#

you already have bufula before you will realistically see a magician card

dusky thicket
#

you'd need duplicate skills in that case

true gorge
#

yeah it's dumb forget i said anything

#

zig zag baby

worldly jasper
#

i think single into aoe was more than fine

true gorge
#

ohh right

#

you do have virus wave

#

in there

worldly jasper
#

i think i'll always be an aoe phys yosuke truther just because like kanji is already the single target guy

#

you don't need two single target guys

dusky thicket
#

hence it should be both or none and i would prefer none

worldly jasper
#

kind of a shit phys/magic hybrid if you don't have aoe for both

true gorge
#

kanji has a low crit rate compared to everyone else tho

worldly jasper
true gorge
#

and yosuke has the second best crit rate, i thought that was pretty good

worldly jasper
#

yosuke has 35 lu at level 99 bro

#

chie has like 60 and also has apt pupil

true gorge
#

he doesn't need luck

#

he is all skill ๐Ÿ’ช

worldly jasper
#

the skill in question is power slash for 40 levels

true gorge
#

not at all

#

low accuracy, okay crit

worldly jasper
#

awful damage

true gorge
#

it's like black spot but worse in every way but dmg (very slightly)

#

I still think mighty swing works best on yosuke to keep him like he has always been

#

and avoid akihiko syndrome

#

whatever we decide on doing, it can't be worse than being stuck with power slash for 35 levels

dusky thicket
true gorge
#

she gets blade of fury in between no?

#

That sets her apart from everyone else. She has high crit single target and good multi-target phys.

dusky thicket
#

yosuke gets wind boost garula, virus wave, garudyne

true gorge
#

cz then we end up with mid yosuke again

dusky thicket
#

the gap between black spot and rainy death is too large to really ignore like i can with yosuke

true gorge
#

lower rainy death's level

dusky thicket
#

@worldly jasper what do you think

dusky thicket
worldly jasper
#

whats up

dusky thicket
#

mighty swing on yosuke or chie

worldly jasper
#

i mean

true gorge
dusky thicket
#

to fill gaps in their skillset

true gorge
#

maybe it's too strong

worldly jasper
#

okay okay

#

show me the kits first lol

#

im not transcient

dusky thicket
worldly jasper
#

i mean

dusky thicket
#

mighty swing would probably fall around mid 40s if i had to guess

worldly jasper
#

i think just like lower rainy death a little and give goatsuke the skill since chie at least has multi-target phys to carry her

#

oh actually

dusky thicket
#

isnt rainy death overtuned if its too low

worldly jasper
#

lower tempest slash on goatsuke a bit too

#

well not super low

#

i mean like

#

64 to 60

#

or 59 even

#

swap with hyper countah

true gorge
#

This is what I am proposing

dusky thicket
#

ill do rainy death 60

worldly jasper
#

rainy death at 55 is kinda crazy lol

#

its like 420 base or some shit

true gorge
#

oh... i forgot

#

yeah you guys have it at 420

#

what is tempest slash for comparison?

#

the average

worldly jasper
#

what did they set tempest slash base to

#

if its 160 then the average is 360

#

with much lower crit

true gorge
#

okay something is wrong

worldly jasper
#

i think rainy death might be a bit overtuned lol

dusky thicket
#

another skill for meovv to change lmao

worldly jasper
#

proposed change: lower rainy death to like 300~ base and lower its level to mid 50s

true gorge
#

I knew something was fishy

#

i mean

#

it was always kind of on the weak side

#

195 in base

worldly jasper
#

well yea p4 phys in general is weak

true gorge
#

the thing it had going for it was that it had really good crit rate

true gorge
supple oak
true gorge
#

Rainy death

#

more like primal force jr/

dusky thicket
#

(this is a meovv question)

supple oak
#

huh

dusky thicket
#

seems tempest slash is a little bit underpowered rn

supple oak
#

so TS and RD?

dusky thicket
#

naoto gets it at 55 by default but i removed that from her. yosuke gets it at 57 rn. i could move it down too tho

#

yeah

supple oak
#

isnt rainy death at 300 like

#

disastrously low

dusky thicket
#

also mighty swing does less damage than power slash in exchange for crit lol so maybe that's not a good mid tier skill for yosuke

dusky thicket
#

375-400? idk

true gorge
#

We buffed power slash before

#

but i think we left mighty swing unchanged

dusky thicket
#

oh true yeah

true gorge
#

I have it as 150 and 190 respectively

#

pretty close, but the latter has better crit and accuracy

dusky thicket
#

up mighty swing's base power to be appropriate in low to mid lvl 40s

true gorge
#

so its like going from bash to sonic punch

dusky thicket
#

that's all i've got rn

supple oak
#

using party member level as a guideline is a little weird for figuring out exactly how much to change it by

dusky thicket
#

fair enough but if mighty swing is rank 5 and power slash is rank 4 idt the former should be weaker base bc it has higher crit

true gorge
#

I'd say use the tier system

#

to figure out more or less where skills should land

#

not the best, but it's pretty accurate

dusky thicket
#

i think rainy death is fine based on the tier system, could be slightly reduced in damage if needed but only by a tiny bit

true gorge
#

a bit less than gigantic fist

#

to compensate for the higher crit rate

#

and so that it's not just a straight upgrade

#

if gigantic fist is 330 then make it 300, or something like that

#

or 350 if you just want it to be straight up better

#

up to you tbh, I can't really give a good estimation since the balancing is different

dusky thicket
#

so i still think mighty swing needs buffed

#

rainy death is probably fine where it is

supple oak
#

so MS is the only one that needs changing

dusky thicket
#

i believe so

#

probably buff base power

supple oak
#

aight

#

outranks tempest slash, but i think it's just an ECS outlier anyway?

#

underdamages it anyway, the crit inflated the score

dusky thicket
supple oak
#

i know

#

MS is rank 5

#

i resorted

dusky thicket
#

ic ic

supple oak
#

agneyastra actually can outdamage primal lmfao

#

but of course chie cant reach 99st

dusky thicket
#

that is funny

#

i feel like thats fine tbh

#

but i wouldnt blame you if you buffed primal too

supple oak
#

if this was reload it would be perfect

#

it would mean you could stack chie to maximize

#

with incense

dusky thicket
#

maybe its fine since kanji has higher st then

#

i think kanji should be stronger than chie soooo

#

bc single target

supple oak
#

yeah even if agneyastra's ceiling is higher chie can't actually benefit from it

harsh canyon
#

yep the single target guy
minus the inexplicable atom smasher lol

dusky thicket
#

bike skill so

#

time to edit the skills

worldly jasper
#

even at 3 hits its at 1080

dusky thicket
#

no it gets slightly ahead

#

120 -> 130

worldly jasper
#

oh its 130 now?

dusky thicket
#

mhm

worldly jasper
#

average of 520 is pretty good

supple oak
dusky thicket
supple oak
#

i'm not changing it

dusky thicket
#

well, it will probably create the opposite problem then but

supple oak
#

99.9% of people don't farm magicians

#

and when they do, an aoe pisses them off

harsh canyon
#

change: magician now does nothing for balance purposes

worldly jasper
#

i can't rly think of a scenario where aoe isn't an upgrade

supple oak
#

i'm going off of the vast majority of opinions and "thank you for changing it" i've seen

#

i also personally prefer it this way, so I'm not really willing to change it

worldly jasper
#

i think phys magician probs needs buffed a bit then to compete

#

and magic def shouldn't have boost into amp if its getting agilao into agidhain

true gorge
worldly jasper
#

especially cus its like

true gorge
#

but im okay either way

worldly jasper
#

phys magician strat requires like actual grind

#

magic would require getting 1 lucky magician card

#

not really comparable

supple oak
#

im pretty sure i ran into like a total of 2 magicians in 300 hours of playtime

worldly jasper
#

i really doubt that

supple oak
#

and i grinded

dusky thicket
#

im very confused at the SL skill table

worldly jasper
#

its like rare but not THAT uncommon

supple oak
dusky thicket
#

why is trafuri here

#

and why does it skip teddie SL2

supple oak
#

story

#

does teddie even have a rank 2

#

pharos skips ranks too

true gorge
#

what table is that? been trying to find it

dusky thicket
#

yeah he should have auto-raku by default

supple oak
#

maybe its in a diff entry somewhere

#

deeper down

dusky thicket
#

traesto is a lvl skill apparently

#

lvl 36

supple oak
#

is the template working right

dusky thicket
#

no errors showed up when i loaded it

#

and later entries dont have teddie a tall

#

im so confused

supple oak
#

thats big weird

#

ive modded this before

dusky thicket
#

do i have an old template or something?

supple oak
#

maybe

dusky thicket
#

but no errors popped up...

supple oak
#

whats the tbl

dusky thicket
#

not a tbl

#

cmmRankUpSkillTable.dat

supple oak
#

ye that

#

is it not in init free

#

ah

#

init

dusky thicket
#

init

#

yeah ive got no ideas lol

supple oak
#

well my table straight up dies

#

and i know why

#

๐Ÿฅด

#

i'll fix it

dusky thicket
#

i can finish the rest of what i have and then send it over to you if you want to try to fix teddie

supple oak
#

i wouldnt

#

chances are you're editing the wrong SLs even

#

i love generating random ass enums and mixing it with shit from persona 5

true gorge
#

ah i see, thanks!

dusky thicket
#

everything here is right except teddie SL0/2

true gorge
supple oak
#

show me your template rq

true gorge
#

every time i boot it up it just applies the p5r ones T-T

dusky thicket
supple oak
#

like the code

#

sure

#

ok thats even funnier

#

we have the same

#

give me your p4g enums

dusky thicket
supple oak
#

alternatively

#

ok

dusky thicket
#

too fast ig lol

supple oak
#

curse of SKA

dusky thicket
#

oof

supple oak
#

no problem

dusky thicket
#

do you have an updated one?

true gorge
#

do you guys need anything?

#

I have the most up to date ones thanks to arkadia

supple oak
true gorge
#

i have them next to me

supple oak
true gorge
#

oh fr?

dusky thicket
#

well uhhhh what should i do with the rest of my edits

#

should I hold off orrrr

true gorge
#

they work for the persona table at the very least

supple oak
#

let me see if i can use the rankup table in the other repo i have

true gorge
#

Hmmm

#

makes you wonder

supple oak
#

way ahead of you

dusky thicket
#

yeah it would be nice if phys split was available for p4

#

oh well

supple oak
#

hits/crit and power is already based on the phys split

#

in this mod

#

was one of the first things i did

true gorge
#

it makes sense why they just have 3 skills that do the same thing

supple oak
#

same for the magician lineages

true gorge
#

Strike does high dmg low crit/acc

#

Slash does med dmg/high crit

#

Pierce does whatever it wants lol

dusky thicket
#

but if you need to redo it, oh well

true gorge
supple oak
#

cheers bro

true gorge
#

there is nothing for god's hand no?

supple oak
#

on purpose

true gorge
#

damn rip my izanagi

supple oak
#

on purpose

true gorge
#

I see what shio was saying lol

supple oak
#

i am actually going to get mad

#

010 is fucking this up

#

i see whats wrong

#

i need to edit the enum template

#

which will break every other fucking template

#

ig i can make this temporary anyway

#

done

dusky thicket
#

so im guessing my file wont work huh

supple oak
#

i dont know let me see

#

no you're right rank 2 is missing

#

sup with that

#

oh

#

there should be 60 entries though

dusky thicket
#

yea idk. i pulled it from my p4g file dump

#

the base file

supple oak
#

nvm

#

entry 60 is tiny soul tomato

#

ted is just missing his rank 2

#

everything else is there

#

idk

true gorge
#

yeah you are right, the template is botched

#

well, back to the old reliable hex editor and calculator

#

do these files use little endian notation like in p3r?

dusky thicket
#

seems so

#

well the bike ride template seems to work?

true gorge
#

it does

supple oak
#

wait why does teddie have traesto set to rank 0

dusky thicket
#

but yeah rip the SL one for teddie

supple oak
#

maybe the skills are given by flowscript

#

lol

dusky thicket
#

oh god

#

how would that even work

true gorge
#

oh shoot maybe

worldly jasper
supple oak
true gorge
#

yeah

#

though it is ultra sketchy in there

#

something along the lines of personaskilladd(ID, SkillID, something)

supple oak
#

its the most straightforward in there what are you talking abt

true gorge
#

i mean that things like the rank up events

#

for rank 10 skills

#

the skills are not referenced by their IDs on amicitia

#

but they are set by bitflags

#

or something weird, I honestly just remember fayanade and I trying to implement bike-like skills in p5 through this method

#

eg adding skills as if they were getting the evade passives

#

but it made no sense

dusky thicket
#

actually

supple oak
#

you're overcomplicating it

dusky thicket
#

random silly thought

supple oak
#

skills could just be added with no issue in p5

#

๐Ÿค”

dusky thicket
#

kanji B5 is arms master

#

what if it was divine grace to give you the option to not use an equip for it

supple oak
#

wait

dusky thicket
#

lean into the healing bit yk

supple oak
#

teddie ONLY HAS skills at rank 4 onwards

dusky thicket
#

he gets auto-raku at S2 according to that though?

worldly jasper
#

he gets his social link rank 2 when he joins the party

supple oak
#

ah

#

which means its innate

#

lol

dusky thicket
#

ahh

supple oak
#

i'd bet auto raku is in the persona tbl

#

as an innate

dusky thicket
#

let me check

#

youtube time

supple oak
#

time to fix my dogshit enums again

#

yeah it doesnt even open the skill screen

dusky thicket
#

you're right it is innate

#

lol

supple oak
#

trolled!

#

all is good then

dusky thicket
#

rly did get trolled there lol

#

yeah

#

the heck

#

my template no longer runs on that file?

supple oak
#

whats the error

dusky thicket
#

??

supple oak
#

yeah that

#

ok so

#

open the enums one

#

you'll notice that both the rankup and the enums table have a partymember struct

#

but the rankup one is a short

#

and the enum one is a byte

#

that's a fuckup

#

delete the one in enums, save the template

#

run the template

#

do your changes

#

then revert it

dusky thicket
#

๐Ÿ˜ญ

supple oak
#

why? because the templates are dogshit

true gorge
supple oak
#

alternatively, actually

#

i have a better idea

#

no need to do that to the enums

dusky thicket
#

kanji b5 divine grace instead of arms master

true gorge
#

just give him mediarahan at that point

#

you save 1 skill slot

#

its really hacky but now you dont have to manually fix the enums every time

true gorge
#

yay it works

dusky thicket
#

nice, thanks

true gorge
#

kind of funny that it lists them by last name

supple oak
#

i had to

#

because of the enums

dusky thicket
#

i guess ill leave B5 as arms master then

supple oak
#

yeah i guess so hmm

#

divine is kinda funny

#

for b5 anyway

true gorge
#

Healer kanji

#

honestly it fits him

dusky thicket
#

it is funny to lean into the bit

supple oak
#

not terrible on principle tbh

#

just as the final upgrade its uh

true gorge
#

he is a pretty sweet guy

supple oak
#

what

dusky thicket
#

media -> mediarama -> boosted mediarama but no full heal

supple oak
#

something yosuke is better at??

#

wait he doesnt get mediarahan

dusky thicket
#

yeah no lol

true gorge
#

you can give kanji blessed hands

supple oak
#

if anything yosuke should be the one getting that divine grace

true gorge
#

and you save 1 day

supple oak
#

for youthful wind to not be hot ass

true gorge
#

unless wou want to run yosuke with blessed hands and kanji with divina grace+mediarama

dusky thicket
#

I think the only place for divine grace in yosuke's kit is his lvling

#

could get rid of megidola but i kinda like it being there

true gorge
#

yeah but he like

#

learns no skills

#

besides dia and diarama

#

at the END he gets youthful wind

supple oak
#

theres no reason for youthful wind to exist because of dragon hustle

you could argue "oh but you can have him do suku and heal at the same time, and someone else can do taru and raku"

#

but that's too convoluted

true gorge
#

well, youthful wind is spammable

#

at the very least

supple oak
#

the evasion buff is good paired with ali

#

ig

true gorge
#

so you have always full evasion on your party

dusky thicket
#

why not make youthful wind a full heal?

worldly jasper
#

youthful wind is just there because they had no other fusion spell to give him aside from raktapaksha which was too similar to jack bros

supple oak
#

i mean i could

dusky thicket
#

make it more expensive to compensate of course

true gorge
#

maybe just increase base heal power a bit

supple oak
#

i made mans way do almighty damage too but im like 99% sure that if it misses it doesnt damage or down either way

worldly jasper
#

make it give everyone wind wall because wind is in the name

true gorge
#

and also elec wall

#

because wind pushes electricity away

supple oak
#

make it fully restore and revive everyone, and apply both karns

dusky thicket
#

true...

true gorge
#

and also make it a party wide charge

#

and concentrate for good measure

supple oak
worldly jasper
#

make it fully heal and revive all party members, apply tetrakarn and makarakarn, remove stat decreases, apply wind resistance and increase accuracy/evasion for 3 turns

true gorge
#

wait

#

maybe having it give the dekunda effect

#

would not be so bad

supple oak
#

you cant dekunda and buff suku at the same time

#

it fucks up targeting

worldly jasper
#

is that actually true in p4

#

i didn't test it so idk

true gorge
#

then why not make it so that it only applies to enemies

worldly jasper
#

ik you can have skills heal and revive at the same time tho

supple oak
#

its true in p3r and i assume p4 too because how would they sort the order of flags

true gorge
#

and it heals them, but it lowers their accuracy

dusky thicket
#

we should give teddie this skill

supple oak
true gorge
supple oak
#

you can only use it if someone is dead

true gorge
harsh canyon
true gorge
#

or make a skill that does that

supple oak
#

wait, aoe samarecarm with sukukaja is actually not that bad of an idea KEKW

worldly jasper
true gorge
#

it's a leftover from the p3 engine

dusky thicket
#

i think that's the template doing that

worldly jasper
#

is it on izanagi no okami boss fight version

supple oak
#

yeah

worldly jasper
#

p4 less raw for that

#

in p3 its on Universe

#

๐Ÿ”ฅ

dusky thicket
#

awesome

true gorge
#

P3 was suppossed to be the last game no?

supple oak
#

fixdogshittemplate

#

it was their last gambit yes

#

but p4 started halfway through p3

worldly jasper
#

they realised hashino was gonna print money

#

and just trusted his vision

true gorge
#

this is what iget for the table

dusky thicket
#

ok, i am done with bike and SL

true gorge
#

nice

supple oak
#

yoink

#

so now its party members (have fun doing it 3 times per party member)

dusky thicket
#

i get to figure out how to add entries too yay

supple oak
#

you dont have to add entries

#

the entries are already there

#

theres 32

dusky thicket
#

oh no

#

oh no

#

๐Ÿ˜ญ

supple oak
#

yes

dusky thicket
#

it's over

supple oak
#

dont expand the table that breaks it

#

literally

#

what you need to do it

#

you open the first skill

#

you edit it

#

and if you need to put something in the MIDDLE

#

you push everything down one entry

dusky thicket
#

doesnt that mean you have to go thru and change all those entries

supple oak
#

ok like

#

lets say yosuke has 5 skills

#

you want to add a new one

#

and its the 3rd skill

#

you take skills 3, 4 and 5

#

you paste them onto slots 4, 5 and 6

#

then you edit slot 3

#

3x for every party member persona

#

enjoy

#

now you know why i dont like editing movesets

dusky thicket
#

painful

#

this is why we get it out of the way

supple oak
#

if it makes you feel better you can in fact copy hex from one persona to the other

#

just

dusky thicket
supple oak
#

make sure you're actually copying the proper hex

true gorge
#

oh yeah lol

#

you have to replace everything

supple oak
#

skark moment again

#

what is line 161

#

i can post my bts ig

dusky thicket
#

EnemiesID Units[ 5 ] <name = "Battle Units">;

supple oak
#

ah

#

yes

#

p5 template moment

#

one sec

dusky thicket
#

man

supple oak
#

whats the table for movesets?

dusky thicket
#

is it not just persona.tbl

supple oak
#

some games have an ally table

#

ally persona

#

or smth

dusky thicket
#

i dont think persona 4 has anything like that

supple oak
#

uhh

#

correct

dusky thicket
supple oak
#

yeah i just opened it

true gorge
#

it's persona.tbl no?

dusky thicket
#

thank you ๐Ÿ˜ญ

supple oak
#

has my fixes and cleanups

#

but its not exactly finished

#

i just

#

do whatever i need

true gorge
#

we appreciate it ๐Ÿ™ ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™

supple oak
#

i also hide a lot of the "Unknown" fields because why the fuck do you need them cluttering up the editor???

#

wait

#

ah wait KEKW

#

its in fact these you want i think

#

also, this one allows you to edit the elements of weapon normal attacks, which no one has pushed to any repo whatsoever in the last 3 fucking years

true gorge
#

you guys think marie will be a party member in p4re

supple oak
#

no

#

doesnt make any sense even if it would be cool

true gorge
#

i hope she is and take some of the content from the golden anime

#

to make the story with her being more involved

supple oak
#

hopefully by the time it releases event editing is more developed and we can make anime event ports

true gorge
#

i didn not like her much at first, but she has grown on me over the years after I understood her better lol

supple oak
#

same for p3r movie events

true gorge
#

it's UE no?

supple oak
#

4.27

true gorge
#

well but atlus has their own subengine i assume

supple oak
#

kinda

true gorge
#

sure it uses ue as base but they have their own quirks

#

I'm just happy you can view most of the game in fmodel

#

and not really need a template to edit stuff, even if it is tedious af

dusky thicket
true gorge
#

omg

#

the music in the p4 anime is so goated

supple oak
dusky thicket
#

music swaps is definitely a bit easier to start with

#

i also have anime music expansion for p4g so it could provide a useful baseline to start

#

gets somewhere yk

true gorge
#

P4 Original OP > P4A OP > Golden OP

dusky thicket
#

probably way faster than making custom events for things

true gorge
#

the menu is also way better in the original p4

dusky thicket
#

also wow

#

this is cbt

worldly jasper
#

i've never seen the persona 4 the golden animation op

dusky thicket
#

at least party member personas are defined in pink

dusky thicket
dusky thicket
#

animation is a little less good but i still like it overall

supple oak
#

visuals are also nice, i like how they effectively imply it's a NG+ of the original one

true gorge
#

it did not have english VA so I just could not watch it

supple oak
true gorge
#

it is also not as fun as the P4 one

supple oak
#

filtered

dusky thicket
#

so in this case I have like 5 million skills to add to yosuke

#

do I need to actually genuinely go and set them from the first one down individually or can I copy all the skills down one (if that makes sense)

true gorge
#

go 1 by one

dusky thicket
#

I'm not doing this today either way ๐Ÿ˜ญ but

supple oak
dusky thicket
#

well @true gorge if you wanna do it...

true gorge
#

sure

#

im used to the p5 one

supple oak
#

it shouldnt actually take long

true gorge
#

my numpad skills are excellent

supple oak
#

tbh

dusky thicket
#

this filter is good

#

just scroll down to the pink and start there

supple oak
#

yh

dusky thicket
#

oh now i understand what you mean by 3x as well

#

that's for ultimate and 3rd sem isn't it

true gorge
#

hey, now that we are almost done...

dusky thicket
#

wait

#

there's only 2 for yosuke?

worldly jasper
supple oak
#

look at the bottom

#

maybe

worldly jasper
#

the only thing i've seen from p4tga is the culprit fight scene

#

which rocked

true gorge
#

yeah me too lol

#

the adachi stuff was good

#

but i watched that on YT

worldly jasper
#

i love adachi's voice so much

dusky thicket
#

best parts of p4ga are the stuff marie is not present in to be completely honest

#

they kinda throw with a lot of that stuff

true gorge
#

that too

dusky thicket
#

concert was cool tho

#

once you get to the hollow forest stuff its a bit more ok too but the early stuff is rough

true gorge
#

couldn't have said it better lol

dusky thicket
#

what the heck

#

yosuke is in here like 5 times

true gorge
#

oh yeah

#

watch out

#

same thing with ryuji

#

i think that means it's blank

#

just make sure he has skills

dusky thicket
#

no skills in these last two

supple oak
#

its a dummy then yeah

#

secret 10th party member...

true gorge
#

marie

dusky thicket
#

ok so there's 3 for each

#

yay

#

alright well im not doing this

#

not today at least ๐Ÿ˜ญ

#

pc if you do it first that'd be rad

#

otherwise i guess i'll look at it eventually

true gorge
#

I will after im done with mine

#

but it's also kinda late where i live so

#

i can get it done today tho

supple oak
#

i could also do it myself

#

guess we'll see who does it

true gorge
#

shouldn't take long

dusky thicket
#

already updated a bunch of mods recently

#

soooo im done modding today lol

true gorge
#

thank you for your service ๐Ÿซก

#

you may go now

#

or stay, if you want lol

#

meovv

#

send me the persona.tbl file

dusky thicket
#

speaking of balance

true gorge
#

with the mutations, if you have it

supple oak
#

oh right persona.tbl has the mutations as well

true gorge
#

speaking of mutations

#

rest in peace cleave=>primal force

#

you will be missed

supple oak
#

on purpose

#

i did the big funny where the lineage makes izanagi mutate into his reload dlc counterpart lmao

true gorge
#

i think a good change they can make

#

is if the magician cards had ranks

dusky thicket
#

so I noticed the party member personas have fixed stat gains

true gorge
#

depending on the dungeon

dusky thicket
#

is that only the case for party member personas

supple oak
#

no you can change them all i think

#

but oh my god

dusky thicket
#

you good lol

supple oak
#

do YOU want to manually edit the xp and stat curve of 150 personas?

#

:p

true gorge
#

someone manually inputted them

supple oak
dusky thicket
#

oh I'm good I'm just curious if it's applicable for all lol

true gorge
#

true story

#

yeah it was probably generated or smth

#

but imagine

dusky thicket
#

maybe it's possible to write a program to make this all a bit easier

true gorge
#

well, they had the flipping code lol

#

imagine how easy this would be if we had the tools they had

dusky thicket
#

oh I mean on our end

true gorge
#

oh yeah

#

modding is truly a marvel, you guys reverse engineer everything

dusky thicket
#

if we had the tools they had that would be wonderful and this is why someone at ATLUS should leak the persona 4 event editing too-

#

denuvoless P4G64 exe with debug menu fully intact please and thanks

true gorge
#

btw

#

what does denuvo even do?

#

ik it's drm, but like

#

what does it do lol

dusky thicket
#

for modding? bloats the exe size with random garbage to make it so you can't just pirate it easily

true gorge
#

bruh

dusky thicket
#

also makes it harder to reverse engineer for stuff like what swine does

supple oak
#

sometimes it kills the game if you attach a debugger

dusky thicket
#

bc of said garbage in the exe

true gorge
#

hey on an unrelated note: do you guys get lag spikes/30fps animation when using megidola

#

in p3r

supple oak
#

nope

dusky thicket
#

idk

true gorge
#

its fluid for you?

dusky thicket
#

I don't think I ever used megidola ngl

true gorge
#

I have a 3070 idk why it would struggle

#

i've seen no one else have this issue

#

for stuff like salvation too

dusky thicket
#

I used getsu-ei, brave blade, deathbound, and scarlet havoc

true gorge
#

the animation is slowed down compared to everything else

#

ik the menus are 30fps

supple oak
#

the menus are 60

#

and uncappable

true gorge
#

but it seems like the animations are rendered

#

at a lower frame rate

supple oak
#

if they capped to 30 for you that's a bug

true gorge
supple oak
#

you need to reinstall

#

yes

#

use P3RFix anyway

#

to uncap it

true gorge
#

I did

#

but i play 60fps anyway

#

skills like salvation/megidola/opening the menu feel like the game goes to 30fps

#

and I've checked my frametime graph

#

and it stays constant

#

Nothing major, just wondering if it was just me. I'll have to see what I do about it.

#

so huh

#

meovv, i think you might have to do the mutations lol

#

i'll probably mess it up

supple oak
#

i already did

#

though

#

have been done for like a month

#

its literally only the party member shit thats left

true gorge
#

in the persona.tbl

supple oak
#

yes that's why i sent it

#

why would i send the vanilla tbl

#

its all been done for ages

#

its pinned even

true gorge
#

huh maybe im dumb

#

oh i see sorry

#

i completely missed it

#

So it goes in groups of 2 for 1st and 2nd tier

#

then it jumps to the 3rd tier personas

supple oak
#

yes

dusky thicket
#

yeah

#

at least you won't have to edit Teddie lol

#

absolutely zero changes to his base kit

#

wait you do need to change auto-raku to recarm

#

but that's not adding new skills so that should be ez

true gorge
#

hey, for the cbt spreadsheet

#

could you guys number skills 1-32

#

it makes it easier for me to not make a mistake

dusky thicket
#

uh sure

true gorge
#

just add a column on the side

dusky thicket
#

do you have the skill IDs on hand

#

probably will be helpful

supple oak
true gorge
#

no not ids

dusky thicket
#

oh cool

true gorge
#

i can just type their names

dusky thicket
#

did not know that

true gorge
#

dw i know there are 2 megidolaons

dusky thicket
#

you should accidentally give Naoto the 9999 megidolaon

supple oak
#

yes

true gorge
#

and rampages

supple oak
#

it's 0053

#

rampage is 0171

true gorge
#

ill just give chie the contrarian king one

#

should make her more viable early game

#

or better yet, rampage upgrades into rampage

dusky thicket
#

yeah true she is lacking due to her bad support

#

lol

true gorge
#

yeah, since yusuke got his full party tetra/makara/concentrate stuff

#

we now have to make up for it

dusky thicket
#

is it indexed from 0 or 1

supple oak
#

0 is attack

dusky thicket
#

ok

#

...what if you change that ๐Ÿค”

supple oak
#

breaks shit

#

p sure

true gorge
#

no

#

skill ids start with 0

#

so that i can compare the [#] with the entry

#

and double check

supple oak
#

yes and 0 is attack

#

agi is 1

true gorge
#

i dont need the IDs that much

#

but you could add them

#

i just want to know which is skill #32 and such

supple oak
#

you mean in the table entries

#

isnt brawler doing that

dusky thicket
#

I wish I could do the whole, drag down the cell to copy numbers

#

but on mobile I have no idea how

#

lol

supple oak
#

i mean

#

one sec

#

do i have edit privilege

#

i do

dusky thicket
#

cool then I will let you handle it

supple oak
#

oh

#

i dont

#

nvm

dusky thicket
#

oof

#

I'll get back on my computer in a sec lol

supple oak
#

but yeah just drag everyone to the right

#

then add number

#

you're doing that alr

dusky thicket
#

you're gonna have to write a doc explaining the changes so the people who consider Yukiko #1 won't be confused lol

supple oak
#

i'm gonna have to write a doc explaining why they suck at the game?

#

sounds fun

dusky thicket
#

lol

supple oak
#

remembering all the slander MQ got because we buffed aki

dusky thicket
#

I doubt many people will actually care since P4G is older but it's probably nice to have an explanation document for these movesets

supple oak
#

my personal favorite actually is explaining nothing and seeing people call things we didn't edit bad changes

worldly jasper
#

well tbf guys

#

nam dropped a video the other day saying naoto and yukiko are the best characters

#

so its an uphill battle

dusky thicket
#

true

supple oak
#

i get to beef with nam??

dusky thicket
#

and nam mentioned things like Naoto frost shot

#

so you know people will be like oh wow he really knows his shit

#

which tbf I mean a lot of it was well researched

#

just came to the wrong conclusions

true gorge
#

hey huh

#

looking at it

#

the power gap between sonic punch

#

and power slash

#

is 20 whopping levels

supple oak
#

yeah but we're not stuffing him full of phys

#

all rounders gonna allround

true gorge
#

yeah ik

#

just thinking we could move back power slash a bit

#

since it is really close to mighty swing

#

but ill just fill in what we have now

worldly jasper
#

yea it should be earlier than 34 lol

#

i think like

#

mid 20s would be better

true gorge
#

I put mine at 26

#

if anyone cares to look over this

supple oak
#

@dusky thicket

dusky thicket
#

huh hi what's up

supple oak
#

idk more suggestion

#

i have no opinion

dusky thicket
#

hang on..

#

tentarafoo 23
garula 27 (-2)
power slash 29 (-5)
mind slice 32
panic boost 34

thoughts on that?

#

is high 20s still too high

#

i wanna go to bed soon so i'd like to wrap this up personally...

supple oak
#

doesnt seem too bad?

dusky thicket
#

getting garula a little sooner cant hurt anyways

true gorge
#

looks good

dusky thicket
#

honestly, kanji gets zionga at 25

true gorge
#

since yukiko learns agilao

dusky thicket
#

yosuke could probably get garula sooner lol

true gorge
#

agidyne at 51

#

and yusuke at 53

#

so they are the 2 mages of the group

#

makes sense they learn these close together

dusky thicket
#

let me try this again

#

tentarafoo 22 (-1)
garula 24 (-5)
power slash 27 (-7)
panic boost 29 (-2)
mind slice 32

true gorge
#

i like it

dusky thicket
#

power slash slightly stronger than kill rush so he gets it later
