I'll try to download it when I get home. I use firefox too

buoyant arch
#

Manually downloading and deleting the files in the reloaded files saves every config. To be honest, I think it's safer bc there's no chance of anything going wrong

#

it's my personal preference, at least.

bold mortar
#

It took a minute for R2 to actually get around to updating it

#

For me at least

#

I ended up downloading the update manually and then the update window finally showed up in r2

surreal ermine
#

same I had to open it like 4 times

random hinge
#

Yeah, it's probably Reloaded struggling with the auto update

#

No Firefox or anti virus issue when I tried downloading it

#

Gamebanana also says it doesn't detect viruses, so it might just be your browser or windows that's being a bit zealous

#

Warning is about the .BIN files

jade willow
#

I swear I feel like my game is gaslighting me. Maybe someone can help? So I edited Yukari's winter casual texture to have bare legs instead of tights, but sometimes that no tights option shows up on only sometimes! (Same thing with the Yukari winter casual, sometimes she has leggings). When I look through my models in GFD studio though they all look as intended (Yukari without leggings and Winter Uniform with)

random hinge
#

Oh, that's a classic

#

Did you rename the texture when you replaced it in the Yukari model?

#

Those two models have the same texture name for the leg

#

So when the game load the models, it will only remember the last one it loaded, here the one in the Yukari model

#

You can either rename the texture in Blender directly or export the texture, rename it and import it again to replace the one you had

#

Do this for all the textures you've edited

#

It seems like the neck part of the winter uniform is also weird

rich tree
#

yeah for w/e reason I get this

jade willow
rich tree
#

and this is the only mod that does it and I have downloaded a few others with bin files so defender is just being stupid

#

and I just noticed the google drive link >.< next time it acts up ill use that

granite wren

random hinge
#

It's silly because those files are not executables

safe pebble
surreal ermine
#

no idea why atlus decided to use .bin for a package file?

lethal geode
#

I mean it's not exactly too surprising tbh

#

think I've seen other games use bin as packages too

jade willow
random hinge
bold mortar
#

along with .pars

jade willow
#

I rename this portion?

random hinge
#

I recommend renaming in Blender

#

It's easier because you don't have to reassign the texture to the material

#

Go to Blender Files in the corner here

#

Find the "image" drop down menu

#

Find c0010_03_body_t002_c.dds

#

Double click on the name or right click rename

#

And it's renamed. You just need to export it now

jade willow
#

wow, you made that seem so easy wow_ Thank you!

#

ok now I will try again

random hinge
#

If you want to return to the preview drop down menu with the mesh and everything, just go to "View layer"

#

You can also rename materials in Blender Files, it's very handy

jade willow
#

Its very cool. Blender is such a powerful tool

random hinge
#

Yeah

#

I wanted to show you what's happening in GFDstudio if you try to rename the texture directly

#

But it's NSFW

#

You might been tricked to think it's working, but it looks terrible

#

So stick with Blender, it's more reliable

jade willow
#

Thank you for saving me from that

#

I would have definitely just tried to edit it through there lmao

#

Blender can seem intimidating. I feel like Im performing surgery in there and if I sneeze it'll break 😭

random hinge
#

It's a bit intimidating, especially if you've never used it and you don't watch tutorials (can't be me, ahah)

#

Fortunately, the only you'll be breaking is the model you're currently working on, not the model you've imported (if you didn't replace it)

#

That's why I do a lot of backups or I export the model mid work so I can have something to fall back to if I broke something

#

If everything works in the end, I just delete the backups

jade willow
#

I want to learn blender, but I feel like I find tutorials that are very general

bold mortar
random hinge
bold mortar
#

Yeah ig there's that

#

Reminds me the socks model on the mitsuru mod might be kinda wonky

#

I haven't been able to test it

#

Mostly because idk where to test it

random hinge
#

Takemi events or some story events in Futaba's room

#

Futaba's rank 10 with romance also happens in her room

bold mortar
#

Alright I'll try Takemi then

#

Since I don't have futaba

jade willow
#

It worked!! yay Thank you!

random hinge

#

BALD

mossy marlin
#

YES FINALLY White Leotard

#

That is sooo good

surreal ermine
#

where my white leotard lovers at

jade willow
#

presenttt

#

the contrast is cute

errant zenith
#

Here

surreal ermine
#

i like the red and white one with red rose. it looks nice

jade willow
#

alright, im gonna try to follow this tutorial I found 😤

surreal ermine
jade willow
surreal ermine
#

i think it fits more that they have the same hair and eyes if they're twins

jade willow
#

Yes. Red hair and red eyes, white and black costumes

#

Same coin different sides

surreal ermine
#

so you use red rose??? i love to see people using my mods it makes me so happy

#

when i see male romance on people's mod loader orders they send here i also giggle a little behind the screen

#

points that's me!

jade willow
#

aww thats so sweet 1pika_aww Yees I love red rose

lethal geode
#

i like seeing everyone play dress-up with sumi

surreal ermine
#

same it's cute

jade willow
#

The fan community really said "Nah, thats FEMC yoink"

#

Its very fun

surreal ermine
#

sumi has created many new model modders

molten finch
surreal ermine
#

shouldn't be too hard. there's already a sumire version in kap

#

but you wanted blue, right?

molten finch
#

Yeah or Purple Gloves if wanna match Sumire's name meaning there

jade willow
#

Thats an idea

molten finch
#

Yeah lol

surreal ermine
#

i can whip up a white, gold, and blue version

#

when i get home

molten finch
jade willow
#

Wowww, that would be so cool!

molten finch
#

🥳🥳

jade willow
#

I personally would keep using black/white Sumi but it would be nice to see

cunning kelp
#

I’ve been thinking how sumire in white with blue would be amazing, this is such good news 😭

surreal ermine
#

same i like sumire's black leotard and white leotard on kasumi

molten finch
#

For me Black Leotard on Kasumi since she's the FeMC and White Leotard on Sumire~

jade willow
#

That makes sense too !

molten finch
#

Yup~

surreal ermine
#

i think default kasumi leotard fits nicely alongside joker

#

black suit white mask red gloves

molten finch
jade willow
#

Lol actually, now that I see Kasumi/Joker fanart I can totally see them as "the mcs"

molten finch
#

So true there~

jade willow
#

Like femc and mc

molten finch
surreal ermine
#

i think someone made a kasumi edit of that

molten finch
#

Let me find

molten finch
#

AWG

jade willow
#

omg thats so peak

molten finch
#

@jade willow

jade willow
#

Im so happy that I cant whine anymore "why didnt atlus give us this femc shes perfect for it" because shes literally here and serving

molten finch
jade willow
surreal ermine
#

when kap was first announced, i came up with an idea very similar to r&v cuz i was like "well, we don't want two sumires" then i come back a few years later and it's done

jade willow
#

I need femc fanfiction

surreal ermine
#

joker does a little alternate reality jump

jade willow
surreal ermine
#

i still like shusumi a bit too much

#

i remember when royal was first announced and sumire was on the cover people were like "FEMC???"

#

the outfit was a bit too perfect

jade willow
molten finch
#

Remembering the Concept Art of Kasumi there~

granite wren
surreal ermine
jade willow
#

ooooh i see

granite wren
#

probably to avoid the ren vs akira war

jade willow
#

They clearly intended her to be femc

surreal ermine
#

that concept art still amazes me. they really thought of a similar idea

molten finch
molten finch
surreal ermine
#

probably to make her more "generic" kind of like joker

molten finch
jade willow
#

I enjoy the red/black though, it gives very "Royal" vibes.

surreal ermine
#

same

surreal ermine
#

i'm glad they settled on red and just reused the design for her sister lol

#

say that again

bold mortar
surreal ermine
#

i'm surprised white leotard is so popular

bold mortar
#

I'm so glad making the bustup for that didn't take too long too

bold mortar
jade willow
#

contrast & twins, thank you for serving 🙏

bold mortar
#

And also I like white tbh

jade willow
#

One thing that bothers me though is

bold mortar
#

I like the pure white one the most

jade willow
#

Maybe because I played the game the first time years ago so my memory is fuzzy but, (spoilers for 3rd semester) || canon Kasumi's hair colors seem a little inconsistent. I always assumed her hair was a darker auburn like in Maruki's palace, but then in every other instance it seems her hair is brown||

#

Honestly Im not sure why they didnt make them twins in canon

molten finch
bold mortar
#

Me neither

jade willow
#

Actually, maybe she always had brown hair. I might be color blind.

bold mortar
#

Though tbh if I was the one writing R&V I wouldn't have them be twins either.

jade willow
bold mortar
#

Maybe so

#

Idk I'm talking more from using the established story as a basis

#

Especially since it helps explain Kasumi being in second year better

jade willow
#

But even in canon Kasumi would have been a 1st year

bold mortar
#

Idk I'm just trying to say how I would've written it

jade willow
#

I guess to me, it makes sense she'd advance to 2nd year. She was likely an honors student like her sister and had the grades to

bold mortar
#

Alternatively I would've just said that Sumire got held back on year, hence why she'd be behind

#

To accentuate the differences

bold mortar
#

But tbf it's hard to work with P5's stupid premise

jade willow
#

Hmm, idk. Maybe its just my head canon that ||Kasumi and her sister have this gap widening between them because Kasumi is so "perfect".|| Her skipping ahead a grade kinda digs into that too.

bold mortar
#

idk to me that works better if the skip ahead took place before the game's events

#

Since Kasumi wouldn't have been an outcast then

jade willow
#

Well, I think it can still work. Like even when she's down she's way ahead naturally.

bold mortar
#

It accentuates the differences

jade willow
#

I havent finished third semester so Im not 100% of their relationship, but I feel Sumire || deep down resents her sister for being so perfect - even after this awful thing has happened, she recovers with grace, skips a grade, etc||

molten finch
surreal ermine
# jade willow Honestly Im not sure why they didnt make them twins in canon

they honestly might have been. all evidence that they aren't is kasumi saying
"and that's my right as the older sister!"
and sumire says "but we're in the same grade though..."
in japan, even if they are twins, they still have strict younger/older respect. respecting your elders is extremely important in japan, and two people being the same age is just... not considered. whoever popped out first is the older one, even if it's by a few minutes. so either they're irish twins, i.e born extremely close to one another, or they really are twins

jade willow
molten finch
jade willow
surreal ermine
#

i won't take the faternal twins argument for them not having the same hair and eye color either lmao. they look too similar to be faternal. faternal is basically having a regular sibling in the womb with you

jade willow
#

It also makes a lot of sense where (spoilers for R&V) ||Kasumi dresses like Sumire to disguise herself||

molten finch
surreal ermine
jade willow
jade willow
surreal ermine
#

i always interperted them as twins. perhaps we can ask a japanese person....

jade willow
#

Because I dont think there is anywhere where the writers explicitly say they are not twins

surreal ermine
#

@stone herald would you interperet kasumi and sumire in vanilla royal to be twins or just regular siblings?

bold mortar
surreal ermine
#

identical twins are a real thing my guy...

bold mortar
#

Ofc

surreal ermine
#

more rare than faternal twins but still

bold mortar
#

I'm merely coming up with rationalizations the second year thing

surreal ermine
#

well zylvos explained that

bold mortar
#

I'm aware

surreal ermine
#

in vanilla royal they were both in the same grade

bold mortar
#

Again my ideas are if I were writing it.

#

It's Zylvos' mod he can write what he wants

surreal ermine
#

identical twins are never truly identical. sure they pop out the same, but enviornmental factors can change a lot. taking kasumi's mole, moles simply manifest from UV raidition exposure

#

though they can be genetic

jade willow
#

I also think that it would make sense if they were twins, but Kasumi was always referred to as the eldest since like you mentioned age is important. ||So she still took on the role of "eldest/first child" which could cast a shadow on Sumire.||

surreal ermine
#

for more angular features, could be the way kasumi held her face and it just naturally became like that

#

my cousin in law is an identical twin and his brother is significantly shorter than him

jade willow
#

Yeah they start off identical but things can change as they grow and factors interfere.

#

I love the idea of her being a identical twin. I dont think I've ever played a main character that had an identical twin. It brings interesting aspects to the story.

surreal ermine
#

i sometimes feel like a weirdo for this, but i adore twin relationships

jade willow
#

LMAO me too. Imagine being born with a built in best friend.

surreal ermine
#

also your twin dying... that's the most heartwrenching emotion someone would probably feel

#

like you were two people, and now you're just one

#

metaphorically i mean

#

imagine being a triplet too lol

#

i have yet to meet one

jade willow
#

|| Also, like, Sumire and Kasumi are twins, they train the same amount but Kasumi just performs better. From Sumire's POV its kinda heart breaking because you would think, as twins doing the same sport for so long, they should be comparable.|| It makes Sumire's story better imo

#

ugh I just love the concept of R&V

surreal ermine
#

and it wasn't even that sumire was bad... she just had a gentler style

#

but people still put kasumi on the top

#

because she was bolder and more outgoing

#

that's a part i think a lot of people miss

random hinge
#

Oh, I don't claim I've had the best explanations as to why Kasumi got put in 2nd year despite being Sumire's twin, but I like the idea of :

  • The principal's mismanagement because he was too focused on enrolling two star athletes to improve Shujin's reputation,
  • Kasumi now has a lore friendly reason to fail her exams (and school quiz)
surreal ermine
#

for my sumire as protagonist mod, sumire is a second year because early on, probably in middle school, she was smart enough to skip a grade

bold mortar
#

but that's just my opinion

jade willow
surreal ermine
#

you'd think her skipping a grade would remove her inferiority complex but no, i imagien sumire was like "i wasn't focused on gymnastics enough..."

bold mortar
#

anyways i'm gonna go test the mitsuru model sock thing

#

then fart around with yusuke's model

surreal ermine
#

i could just age sumire up, honestly, but that seems cheesy

#

i did already make kasumi die a lot earlier, like 2 years before sumire arrives at shujin

jade willow
#

Poor Kasumi...

surreal ermine
#

it gives sumire time to recover with an actual therapist

jade willow
#

Oh, youre doing an alternative mod where true Sumire is protag?

surreal ermine
#

i also killed off her parents because i couldn't see them sending sumire to an attic in a coffee shop... lmao

#

yep

jade willow
# surreal ermine yep

Wow that's interesting! I didnt know this. Youre working so hard between R&V red rose, male romance, etc

surreal ermine
#

i think i went with car accident so sumire is extra car traumatised

#

i'm not focused on this at all

#

it's more just on the backburner, especially since joker over sumire is unfinished

random hinge
#

Oh, and I also needed another reason for Kasumi calling nearly everyone senpai. It's a polite mask she wears to cope with her situation and a reminder she got put somewhere she feels she doesn't belong (2nd year)

jade willow
surreal ermine
bold mortar
#

IT DOESN'T LIKE IT

#

CRAP

jade willow
# random hinge Oh, and I also needed another reason for Kasumi calling nearly everyone senpai. ...

Yess, I love that you kept this detail. I feel like since in canon we dont really know Kasumi except from ||Sumire imitating her|| its definitely a Kasumi thing in my mind

I feel like my interpretation of Kasumi is that before she was pretty, polite, successful in her sports, but very isolated outside of her sister. So the main story is her growth of being a normal teenager and not having so much pressure on her.

bold mortar
jade willow
surreal ermine
#

er... no?

#

OH

#

are you referring to me saying I was making a sumire with mytamagos hair mod?

jade willow
#

maaybe? I might have misread something

#

I was also wondering about AOA finishers, but I get that its so much harder than just a .dds.

#

Like I thought at first

bold mortar
#

and also the skirt doesn't work this animation

#

but tbh idk how to fix that

jade willow
#

is she on the ground??

bold mortar
#

takemi's bed

bold mortar
#

ok socks fixed

random hinge
#

Name the mesh and assign the bones with
shoe_1_0010_001 are for socks
shoe_0_0010_001 are for shoes

bold mortar
#

it's fixed now

#

the skirt thing though idk

random hinge
#

The skirt is tied to the animation

#

IIRC, Wisteria said that animation was too annoying to fix

bold mortar
#

ok i'll just leave it then

#

well socks are done then

random hinge
#

The finisher is actually a 3D mesh

bold mortar
#

zylvos i'll send you the updated model when i make a few more adjustments

random hinge
#

So it scales better with monitor resolution

surreal ermine
random hinge
#

However, I haven't found a way to edit it (beyond colors)

bold mortar
#

actually maybe it'd be prudent to just redo the socks altogether

#

since they're kinda scuffed already

#

ok do any kasumi models have long socks

#

actually i'll just make my own mesh

#

ok this should be way better than the scuffed one

#

yeah thats way better

jade willow
#

uhh, question for blender - so i tried importing a gap animation in to test my model but the script things arent showing. Is there a plugin I need?

bold mortar
#

time to work on yusuke summer uniform

random hinge
bold mortar
#

hopefully nothing else is goofy about this one

bold mortar
#

time to get rid of this mf purple shirt

#

this will require some creativity

#

guh this tie doesn't want to cooperate

jade willow
#

okay now to get the skirt to not do that pray

bold mortar
surreal ermine
#

@bold mortar are you good at recoloring textures?

#

i thought this would be a solid color swap but there's actually a lot of detail on this texture

bold mortar
granite wren
#

I feel like Yusuke would be huge on novelty ties
Like
He already is an impulse buyer
I just imagine, he has a drawer full of the weirdest novelty ties

bold mortar
#

ok yeah working with this

surreal ermine
#

yeah no this is gonna look like shit if i do it

bold mortar
#

what are you planning to do

jade willow
surreal ermine
bold mortar
#

uhhhh

#

is this the red and white model?

surreal ermine
#

yes one sec

#

i was using that as reference for the blue

bold mortar
#

i see

#

are you using the recolor function on paint.net or something?

surreal ermine
#

gimp

bold mortar
#

same principle ig

surreal ermine
#

yeah i was doing select by color then painting over

bold mortar
#

yeah i do that too

#

i can take a look at these a bit later if you'd like

#

but idk how much i could do to improve it

surreal ermine
#

lol... i'm not an artist so i wouldn't be very good at this

#

kasumi's hair was easy since it's like 3 solid colors

bold mortar
#

yeah exactly

jade willow
#

its hard to get that exact blue..

surreal ermine
#

that's much better than me wow

bold mortar
#

guh the kosei tie is weird

#

screw this i'm making the tie purple

#

ok Yusuke's uniform is done

errant zenith
bold mortar
#

not bad

errant zenith
#

What lovely eyes you got

cobalt prawn
lethal geode
#

it's compatible

bold mortar
surreal ermine
bold mortar
#

pretty sure it's just a lighting thing

#

doesn't show up in blender

#

maybe not...

#

i'll check in game

cobalt prawn
bold mortar
#

FUCK

#

some of this is still bugging out

#

wth

#

the shirt is causing it

jade willow
surreal ermine
#

nice i used photopea before and didn't like it that much

surreal ermine
bold mortar
#

ok shirt fixed

surreal ermine
#

"yusuke eye fix"

bold mortar
surreal ermine
#

if you want?

bold mortar
#

what i'm asking is will this bug happen i just use this model as it is rn

surreal ermine
#

yes

#

unleess you fixed it

bold mortar
#

no i wouldn't know how to fix it

surreal ermine
#

i'd ask dc for permission to use his fix

jade willow
surreal ermine
#

yay

#

red gloves or blue gloves for this outfit

bold mortar
surreal ermine
#

i have no clue

bold mortar
#

alright

#

@cosmic niche can i use your eyefix in my mod

cosmic niche
#

who what when where why

bold mortar
#

has eyebug when importing into gfd studio

#

hence i the fix for the mod

cosmic niche
#

oh, sure, but i think its better to teach you how to fix it

#

so basically go to the eye material in gfd

#

the eyes should be highlithed red, thats how you know its the right material

#

then on the bottom part, scroll to "Disable Backface Culling"

#

set it to 1

#

and thats it

bold mortar
#

thanks

#

now bro is dressed properly

cosmic niche
#

if you look at the models on the mod, you can see that they all have it set to 1

bold mortar
#

i see

cosmic niche
#

my job here is done

jade willow
bold mortar
#

thankfully you can get away with quite a bit with these textures

jade willow
#

fingers crossed

jade willow
#

aww Kasumi alt bang is so cute!

#

Also Yusuke looks much better in the uniform actually

bold mortar
#

there he is

#

man i really don't feel like figuring out how to fix this

jade willow
#

I dont see anything?

bold mortar
#

so it's got this gap

#

because i'm lazy

jade willow
#

ah...

#

to be fair who is going to be looking at this angle though

bold mortar
#

and that kind of gap took an hour to fix on ryuji as it is

#

true

#

in any event, i'm tired of making this model

bold mortar
#

funny that haru took like

#

20 minutes to make

#

and ryuji and yusuke both took multiple hours

jade willow
#

yusuke is kinda...

#

idk the word for it rn though, lanky?

bold mortar
#

yeah

#

thankfully akechi is also lanky

#

so i could just use his model

jade willow
#

youre also changing Akechi?

bold mortar
#

no

#

i just used akechi's shirt and tie

#

since the kosei model was harder to work with

#

and also less detailed

jade willow
#

Oh, I see! I really love that.

#

I didnt even notice

bold mortar
#

the issue with the male kosei uniform is that it only exists for backgroun npcs

#

so it doesn't work super well

surreal ermine
surreal ermine
jade willow
#

This outfit is for Sumire right?

surreal ermine
#

yes

#

but i'll make a rose version if zylvos wants it

#

gloves

jade willow
#

yeah then blue and protag has red

surreal ermine
#

this might be easier for me hold on

jade willow
surreal ermine
#

yes

jade willow
surreal ermine
#

woah

#

magic

jade willow
#

i have the color already loaded

bold mortar
#

Or leave them be ig

surreal ermine
#

glovessssssblue

jade willow
#

ahahaha oops

surreal ermine
#

i'

#

woops

#

i'll replace the ribbon in blender rq

jade willow
#

I think it looks cute!

#

Im trying to remember what the red looks like, wait

#

(I stole this pic) but I think her ribbon is white here too

surreal ermine
#

it is

#

but i thought blue would look better here

#

oh i gtg i'll do this later

jade willow
#

alrighty! mentorwave have a good evening

molten finch
#

Oh wait it is Sumire since she doesn't have the Heart shaped window lol

#

Now there's the differentiation~

jade willow
#

Sumire is so cute

#

any advice to make this stop? 😄

molten finch
surreal ermine
#

you gotta rig the model

jade willow
surreal ermine
#

idk probably

#

based on the stretching

jade willow
#

Blender really is like witchcraft lol

surreal ermine
#

ikr

#

it's literally "anyone can 3d model" program

jade willow
#

okay time to get desperatado and ask gpt pray

surreal ermine
#

chat gpt is fine don't worry what people say lmao

#

thoughti t can be stupid sometimes

#

ok blue ribbon doesn't look too great

jade willow
#

oh!

#

maybe its a different color

surreal ermine
#

it is

#

it'll match with the long hair ribbon porbably

jade willow
#

ooh

#

I can change the color too

surreal ermine
#

i forgot to grab the mask texture sigh

#

white ribbon works

#

it's fine since the other white leotards use it

#

blue and white leotard will be included in my mytamagos hair sumire mod :)

#

i'll make a different one "white leotards for sumire" that include the hair up models

jade willow
#

I actually love sumire with her hair down

surreal ermine
#

i think the blue looks nicer on the milder colored hair

#

less overwhelming red lol

errant zenith
#

aww sweet blue

bold mortar
#

i have returned to my abode

#

time to see if i can do anything with bustups

#

||i don't think I can||

#

wtf these are .bin files?

#

wtf where are the overworld bustups stored

#

oh wait think i found them

surreal ermine
#

extract the bin, edit the pngs (there's multiple) then squish them back together

#

you'll probably only need to edit one if you're just putting the uniforms on them

#

the extras are their mouth and eyes for blinking and talking animations

bold mortar
#

wow this is goofy

surreal ermine
#

it's a little horrific

bold mortar
#

guh idk where to start

surreal ermine
#

draw :)

bold mortar
#

i'm not an artist

surreal ermine
#

then you probably can't do this lol

bold mortar
#

yeah probably not

#

yeah this is probably way outside of my capabilities

#

well in that case i'm done with the mod ig

surreal ermine
#

oh no kap doesn't have the aoa drawing for the long hair white leotards...

#

well... i was gonna have to make a blue one anyway

#

and i have to do it twice... ugh

#

rnenm,

#

i'm not gonna do it <3 you get default aoa art

bold mortar
#

surreal ermine
#

wait i might be able to frankenstein the rose and violet one

#

oh but it has the heart shape

#

nvm

bold mortar
#

hmm ig i could chatgpt generate the bustup

#

wouldn't look very good though

surreal ermine
#

no

bold mortar
#

sometimes it makes decent stuff

surreal ermine
#

...

#

no comment

bold mortar
#

well otherwise some else is welcome to make the bustups

bold mortar
#

lets just say i don't think it understood the instructions very well

spare oak

ironic

#

making ai art of the artistNaofacepalm

bold mortar
#

tbh though it's not terribly far off from what I want

buoyant arch
#

anyways, it just feel wrong

surreal ermine
#

you're not gonna get a good bustup from ai. i don't think it can replicate the bustup exactly

#

please just wait for someone to volunteer to make a bustup or comission someone please adachitrue

buoyant arch
#

I'm probably missing context. What happened?

surreal ermine
#

he's making summer classic school uniforms

#

finished the models but can't draw so

#

is using ai

#

for bustups

#

you see ME i'm just not editing the bustups :) no bustups for you just models

bold mortar
#

whether it does his face right or not really isn't important

#

i just need the body it generates to approximate the p5 style

buoyant arch
#

only having his clothes to worry about, changing wouldn't exactly be "hard"

#

i'm unsure on how the other bustups work, as I only worked on joker's one

#

but if it is how I think it is, it should be no more than replacing the clothes with whatever you want. The animations happen outside of it, anyways

bold mortar
#

yeah exactly

#

either way my free chatgpt points today are gonna run out

#

so if it doesn't make anything useable I'll just ignore the bustups for now

buoyant arch
#

just pay to renew and be gifted with even more slop naothumbsup

#

jk

surreal ermine
#

i'm not using the mod if you ai generate the bustups

buoyant arch
#

unfortunately, it kinda defeats quite a good portion of why the bustups are as good as they look in-game

#

a tool being used as a replacement is not the right move imo

bold mortar
#

either way it's not cooperating

#

so i give up on it

surreal ermine
#

this folder has gotten quite a mess lol

buoyant arch
#

you have no idea. I should probably start creating folders for my work too

#

cause I have stuff for each and every version, and it's growing into such a mess the previews all look the same

bold mortar
#

this is what this mod's work folder looks like rn

buoyant arch
#

might be my sanity dropping aswell, who knows

surreal ermine
#

you don't get to see my modding folder.

bold mortar
#

not the actual mod folder just where I'm doing the work

to me the kernel level stuff is whatever

cheating in a gacha is so pitiful😭

surreal ermine

the bannable thing being i'm teeechnically bypassing the kernel level anticheat by using this in lutris

you can't cheat with these on

moment of truth time to test sumire long hair models in the metaverse

of course there's a bug

bold mortar
surreal ermine

time to chatgpt it

bold mortar

tbf chatgpt is useful for troubleshooting

not p5 mods though

surreal ermine

i forgot quotes in the config

bold mortar

it can read fallout new vegas logs really well

spare oak
#

ive never thought to do that

surreal ermine
#

chatgpt is alright at answering p5 modding questions, but it's not so great unless you give it the githubs of the tools you're using

#

cuz then it reads the code and understands what it's doing

bold mortar
surreal ermine
#

i kind of hate that they've made chatgpt glaze you so much. it makes it hard for it to tell me i'm doing shit wrong

#

i should tell it to be mean

bold mortar
#

yeah true

rich tree
#

honestly only commision id pay for if I had the money is a umbrella recolor to pink or blue main and replace the black stripes with white

someone with more money than me should commission bustups for this mod

and the summer uniform bustups

and alternate bangs too

i'm glad for the hype lol

i knew there were a lot of people were like me thinking "damn i wish i could put the long hair models on sumire "

i'm kinda surprised how much traction my mod got

blumire

jade willow
jade willow
surreal ermine
#

it works either way

#

but technically yes, it is sumire's model

#

that's why costume framework was needed for kap. the slot had to be wiped clean to make room for a completely different model type

#

all the animations are seperate files. you can technically slap anyone's animation onto a model it just won't look to great

bold mortar
#

that's why i just fiddle with weight transfers

Black Leotard Kasumi with Anastasie & White+Blue+Gold Leotard Sumire with Cendrillon is 🥳🥳

that's like

the lazy alternative

depends what you're making

jade willow

honestly I myself am confused. I might start over tomorrow

#

I was putting Makoto's winter uniform over Kasumi, and it has its own skeleton and her skeleton but...idk.

bold mortar
#

doesn't play nice with kasumi's skeleton?

jade willow
#

I guess not. Its like the skirt explodes in motion. I think its because its not connecting properly. I might look into weight transfers tomorrow instead

bold mortar
#

yeah the skeletons in this game are goofy

bold mortar
#

i can't figure out why the boots do this

#

must be a lighting thing

#

oh weird

the bottom of the boots doesn't seem to show up in gfd studio

is this like a summer version of the uniform mod?

Uploading it when I get home

No bustups included though since I'm not an artist or a very good graphic designer

I have my grievances with how tomoko's uniform makes her body look unnaturally long and i'll never get over it

given the wikia has her listed at 5'1

she looks odd

like futaba is 5'1 and yeah shes not anywhere near that unaturally long

she either needs to tuck the sweater in, unbutton it or something

jade willow
#

By the way, is p5x a gacha game?

clear acorn
#

yes

jade willow
#

Huh. So the models must be similar to other gacha games then

bold mortar
#

the artstyle of the game overall seems incongruent with p5's artstyle

spare oak
#

eh?

bold mortar
#

P5X's characters all seem (to me, at least) to use a different artstyle

#

and furthermore, a lot of them are overdesigned

spare oak
#

they definitely are more detailed

rich tree
#

different dev team and from what I have read online both are different game engines. P5R runs on its own in house engine from atlus

p5x runs on unity

as far as I can tell

p5x straight up tells you its made in unity

p5r is on gfd engine

the two horseman of shitty games

what did unity do

lmao? unity is like the best free and open source game engine?

granite wren

Swap Unity for the Creation Engine

I dunno how Bethesda holds that thing together still please just make a new engine guys

bold mortar

tbf to unity i can't think of any games made in it

#

UE I do have a personal vendetta against though

surreal ermine
#

a lot of indie games are in unity because it's foss

#

ctually is it open source?

bold mortar
#

I don't play indie games

surreal ermine
#

nvm unity is just free not open source

spare oak

unity is great tbh

#

UE you have to be like actually competent to even think about making something that runs well

bold mortar
#

hmmm

#

nothing i like seems to have been made in unity

surreal ermine
#

most big game companies aren't going to use unity

#

p5x is in unity because it's a mobile game, and unity is light-weight

bold mortar
#

most games I like just use in-house engines

FNV has gamebryo
Yakuza has like 4 engines
Fromsoft has their own I think

eh I enjoy it but to be fair I have enjoyed the majority of Koei tecmo's games

quick question, alternate violet personas only edit the models, correct? mod page says its incompatible with rose and violet story overhaul (for narrative reasons) BUT ella's model looks so pretty 😭 🩷

#

if i were to use this mod where should i put it?

rich tree
#

I mean if it says not compatable I wouldn't use it

#

risk of braking rose and violet or the game out right not loading

i feel like the only thing narratively incorrect would be satanael

🤔

not gonna rehash the satanael discussion

but I do want that one replaced

don't like most of their games

I like Nioh

but Rise of the Ronin was so disappointing

#

P5S did some good things

#

like the OST was good and it had actual character moments

#

but the rest was really rough

controls sucked, the gameplay was boring, and the story was just a worse rehash of vanila P5's story

which I already thought was really weak

should i put it before or after rose & violet?

it'll replace anatasie with cendrillon btw

idk why but this model keeps crashing blender

im confused why you need the persona mod Ella is already in rose and violet?

surreal ermine

ummmm

#

she shouldn't be there lol

surreal ermine
#

turn off violet's personas in kap

rich tree
#

and why would I do that if its not causing issuses?

#

i havent had any problems from either mod with it on

surreal ermine

what i'm saying is ella is not apart of r&v

it's a kap thing

it's just satanael in r&v

it happens

so do people start aaall the way over? maan

#

i fold and mod menu his rank up

jade willow
#

I do have his rank

#

I think its a dialogue issue

#

I guess actually I could grab a save from the site

surreal ermine
#

if you use a save you'll lose all your personas and other progress

jade willow

||He was supposed to show up at the end but he didnt||.

if you're desperate i recommend mod menu or cheat engine

surreal ermine
jade willow
#

Yeaaaah, I dont even know if I can go into the next part of the game

surreal ermine

wait you got the vanilla ending?

#

or just the base royal ending and not the true royal ending

jade willow
#

The vanilla one

surreal ermine
#

you didn't max maruki

jade willow
#

OMG

#

Actually I think youre right!!

#

aw man, I though he went away at rank 9.

surreal ermine
#

grab a save in like.... september and max his confidant

#

wait what?

#

no he stops at rank 9 then he calls you to his office and auto ranks you up to 10

#

max maruki = third semester
max akechi = true royal ending

jade willow
#

Im not sure. I swear he was like rank 9

#

let me go check an earlier save. I should have saved more ughh

surreal ermine
#

weird? you didn't get the third semester at all?

i have a save with all the requirements on 11/27. want it?

jade willow

Well its continuing as though its vanilla

jade willow
surreal ermine

aight one sec

i think i was using it as a test save so ryuji's flag might be flipped hold on

also futaba is romanced

actually

they're the same age adachi_true

futaba is a year younger than joker

I thought she was 15 no?

surreal ermine

and joker is 16

#

futaba is 15/16, joker is 16/17

jade willow
#

Ahh true. So at the end of the game he is 17 and she is 16

surreal ermine
#

yes

jade willow
#

Idk I feel futaba gives little sisters vibes to me in r&v and base game tho

spare oak
#

yea but to me more so in base game even tho both are possible

#

joker having no known existing siblings makes that found family vibe a lot stronger than kasumi

#

its up to player interpretationnaotoshrug

jade willow
#

ok it didnt crash this time

surreal ermine
#

here @jade willow put this in %APPDATA%/Roaming/SEGA/P5R/Steam/{userid}/savedata
create a now slot, the other saves should be in folders named DATA01, DATA02, etc. just make a new folder after the last one and it will make a new slot. put this in that folder

wait let me spoiler it

surreal ermine

weird the fuck

he never called you to rank him up to 10?

i don't think so

surreal ermine

what the helly

actually omg now that I think of my playthrough from years ago, there was other stuff added in

No wonder I havent seen Sumire in a min

Maybe I ranked him up too late? @_@

i have never heard of this lmao

you said your game crashed right?

your save might have been corrupted

jade willow

I used your file though so let me test it!

you were using male romance right? i uploaded all of ryuji's scenes if you wanna look at them

for valentines and white day i mean

they're different in the royal vs vanilla endings

random hinge
#

The Violet's persona mod (or the option in KaP) isn't "compatible" because it will override Anastasie and Briar, but that won't crash your game. It'll just make things not coherent

#

I prefer GFD engine because I feel it looks better with the art direction of Atlus' games.
I feel like P3R looks weird in Unreal Engine (which itself doesn't look bad). I don't know how to put this, but when I look at the models/environment, they have that "shine" that I think conflicts with the art direction

#

It could just be a lighting issue, I don't know. Maybe I'm just being gaslighted by P5R looking like a PS3 game in some areas

bold mortar
#

P3R definitely looks weird because of UE

#

And the og P3 didn't have very strong art direction to begin with, but the graphical problems of P3 are definitrly accentuated by UE

#

It's just very off putting

#

Nothing about it looks right

#

Even the UI seems off

#

ig bland is the word I'm looking for

#

P3 seemed very flat looking compared to P4

#

But P3R did nothing to improve on that

rich tree
#

its to bright imo p3r unreal engine does not suit the game at all

#

not sure why atlus used that instead of there in house engine

It’s possible he isn’t actually homeless and he has a trapdoor that leads to a secret base.

After his two hour job of collecting information for hits and whatever nefarious deeds he then goes into the trap door; change his clothes and emerges on the other side in a 3 piece Kiwami suit, Clean shaven, with a shoulder holster underneath.
