(P5R PC) Rose & Violet - Story overhaul

[bold mortar]

Probably more trouble than that's worth though

[hidden lion]

i guess do what "easier" i guess (this coming from someone with no modding experince for model)

[bold mortar]

What's easier is to not do it lol

[hidden lion]

fair answer lmao. cant blame you

[bold mortar]

Got too much work rn anyways and not enough interest in p5

[hidden lion]

real w*rk

[bold mortar]

Something like that

[hidden lion]

it do be like that. i mean im also trying opening shop lmao

but my ass still unemployed so i got all free time

[molten finch]

This your gif pic?

[faint elk]

Search up Persona 5 Rose in Gif Picker.

[ocean wolf]

hi, I made it actually ^^ I uploaded a bunch of Kasumi gifs to tenor, I thought it was kinda ironic how when you search her name it's all Sumire so I've been posting some of my own

[lilac remnant]

I see thank you ♥

[bold mortar]

basically gyasumi without the tan and blonde hair color

some others too

actually did a lot of these outfits for alt bangs and makoto hair too

[vernal sinew]

A gyaru mc for P5 makes so much sense cuz Gyaru‘s rebel Japans expectations of girls

[bold mortar]

mfw i hate the rebellion theme

[vernal sinew]

[coral prawn]

I still see Sayori in this one

[molten finch]

Ooh glad to see real Kasumi gifs on Tenor ❤️ thank you for uploading them~

[hidden lion]

The brown sweater so cute

isnt this the pose of the dude sell us weapon?

[lusty cape]

Ah yes Sayori is my favorite persona character

[molten finch]

Finished with Kamoshida's Palace and now on Madarame Palace

Can't wait to get to 6/4 in-game date when Summer Seasons starts as can't wait for the Alt Tsubasa Outfit while she carries Morgana in a Bag in overworld~

[lusty cape]

Is there a long hair version for a gyaru one?

[hidden lion]

no unless someone want to make alt hair model of it.

[bold mortar]

i for gyasumi it was originally gonna be long hair

though i eventually opted for the ponytail

[royal mica]

Man finally wrapped up Okumura arc's CHN SUB after pulling an all nighter here... I need to get some sleep once I finish the upload

[fierce haven]

Not the hangedman 😭

[somber bridge]

Is their special dialogue for makoto romance on the Hawaii trip?

Cause it looks pretty standered to the original one with joker

[random hinge]

There aren't a lot of edits in that event. I didn't feel like I needed to change the dialogues since they are plently sweet already

[somber bridge]

Oh Alr thx for that

[molten finch]

So question, is there a file that has this L7M3 Pose for Phantom Thief Portrait like this to drag and drop in the folder:

but keeps the default portraits like regular, hair down when in pajamas or prison outfit and in interrogation/beat up?

https://images.gamebanana.com/img/ss/mods/6935f07ad551c.jpg

I would love to use that L7M3 Phantom Thief portrait over default due to the cooler pose Rose is doing lol

[random hinge]

That's easy. The file for the PT portrait is named CUTIN_001_000.dds and you just need to replace the equivalent in the category you want to use.
The file you're looking for is in OptionalModFiles\Bustup\L7M3\BlackLeotard\FONT\SELECT (for the black leotard). Copy CUTIN_001_000.dds

I assume you want to replace the Default Black Leotard portrait so go to
Characters\Joker\1\FONT\SELECT
Rename the CUTIN_001_000.dds file currently in that folder to "old_CUTIN_001_000.dds" (so you don't erase it)
Then paste the CUTIN_001_000.dds you copied previously

If you want to replace a White Leotard / White and Red Leotard portrait, it's a bit more complicated because of the way I've structured the optional portraits folder. Let me know if this what you actually wanted to do

Same thing for the other types of portrait (Legacy smiling / neutral)

Also, if you want to view those type of files (or even edit them), you can use Paint.Net. I think Gimp and Photoshop also work, but I don't use them

[molten finch]

Ooh thanks~

[molten finch]

Many thanks on this, as can't wait to replace default PT Black Leotard Portrait for Rose as playing Rose & Violet on Steam Deck~

[molten finch]

Oh no, I am all good on that, I prefer Default PT/Black Leotard and White Mask outfit for Rose waaayy more than White Leotard/White & Red Leotard portraits, because I do not care for White Leotard/White & Red Portraits for Rose tbh. 🤣

And I prefer the default portraits you have for Kasumi/Rose there, but Legacy Smiling and Legacy Neutral isn't too bad there. So I'll keep that in mind! 👍

[molten finch]

All good and using the cooler pose portrait on Steam Deck as well @random hinge

[molten finch]

Oh yeah forgot to show this on actual Steam Deck oled I was playing, cooler portrait PT Pose while playing on Steam Deck @random hinge 🙌✨️

[buoyant arch]

there's also the other one I did a little while ago

im not home so I have no pic, but it's there

[molten finch]

Hmm is it the one where she faces left straight?

[buoyant arch]

yuh

[molten finch]

Ooh that's nice there lol

[molten finch]

Also I do love that cooler pose for that PT Portrait for Kasumi/Rose there, that's something she has on her PT Portrait lol

[bold mortar]

ok latest p5 run done

probably my last for a long time

did it with gyasumi for the first quarter of the game before switching to my black hair mod

[molten finch]

Alt Tsubasa Outfit now used for her Main Summer Casual Outfit in Overworld~ ❤️ loving it so much~~ (also rip to the clipping model)

[hidden lion]

weeeeeeee

[molten finch]

So dunno if you saw it but thought I @ you there lol @granite wren

[granite wren]

https://tenor.com/view/hey-thats-pretty-good-good-pretty-good-gif-5074749

[molten finch]

I may take more screenshots on my Steam Deck for better look & view

Although sucks that the clipping model is there

[granite wren]

There's a mod that hides the bag but I forget where it is

[molten finch]

Oh no I prefer the Morgana Bag to go with it

I hear you could reduce the breast padding that Original Tsubasa Summer Flower Outfit had to make the bag not clip?

[granite wren]

They already did that
The bag clips on any Rose

That's why I banish it to the shadow realm

[molten finch]

Damn that sucks

[granite wren]

https://youtu.be/BQJ-CXGc8lo?si=ab_4FtqfTecFbUnT

[molten finch]

Yeah Looks like the Bag Clipping can't be helped, there's the no bag mod, but I prefer to Carry Morgana in a Bag when going out more lol

Also I'll be taking more Screenshots of Kasumi in her Alt Tsubasa Outfit as her Main Summer Casual Wear while Carrying Morgana in a Bag~

[bold mortar]

i think whenever i go back to p5 it'll be vanilla rather than R&V

[random hinge]

I've finally replaced Sumire's animation when she's bowing to the protagonist. It may work with Joker, not so much her sister. I've only kept the bowing in her rank 6 because it makes sense here. The animation is replaced with Sumire waving her hand.
I had to make the animation myself because she doesn't have a lot of animations when she's holding her bag on her shoulder AND she doesn't have a waving animation (while Haru, Makoto and Futaba do, but not Ann for some reason).
I'm too lazy to make a video, so here you go:

[rich tree]

I have a hide bag mod i got from wisteria and then added to it

i dont see any bags on rose period

except where its forced

[molten finch]

dang

[molten finch]

When Kasumi gets annoyed or pissed at Morgana telling her to convince Sojiro lmfao

I tried for a better view of Kasumi getting Pissed at Morgana 🙏

[molten finch]

@granite wren Alt Tsubasa Outfit in Overworld while she carries Morgana in a Bag Showcase for a better view

I hope this is HQ Pic after screenshotting it lol

[rich tree]

so did you make a mod for this or just move files?

[molten finch]

Just move the files

after you find the .GMD file in the alt tsubasa outfit lol

https://gamebanana.com/mods/628434

And then go to Kasumi as Protag Alternate Model Folder, next Characters/Joker/1/MODEL/CHARACTER/0001 and rename the .gmd file to C0001_003_00.GMD

And paste the file inside the 0001 folder and if says overwrite, overwrite the old C0001_003_00.GMD as it replaces it

And you should get Kasumi wearing Alt Tsubasa Outfit in Overworld

[rich tree]

doesnt work

[molten finch]

Are you on PC or Steam Deck?

[rich tree]

pc

[molten finch]

Oh then have you rename it to C001_003_00.GMD

I think the 0001 files can be different names last time I checked when on Steam Deck

[rich tree]

all my files in alt modals is 0001

i dont see any with 001

[molten finch]

Ahh hmm

Did you rename Tsubasa Oribe Casual Outfit (Alternate Version).GMD to C0001_003_00.GMD ?

[rich tree]

i dont have the alt gmd

just the normal gmd?

[molten finch]

Oh yeah your supposed to download the alternate tsubasa outfit

alternate_tsubasa_oribe_outfit1_0_0.7z

[rich tree]

do i need to remove the other one?

[molten finch]

You can keep the other one

Just download the alt tsubasa outfit to get that gmd file

But are you wanting to use normal tsubasa or alt tsubasa outfit in Overworld?

🤔

[rich tree]

i mean im not picky also i take it i should set summer casual to default

instead of the blue dress

[molten finch]

Oh yeah I just want to make sure lol

So after you download the alternate_tsubasa_oribe_outfit1_0_0.7z

Find the gmd file in alternate_tsubasa_oribe_outfit1_0_0.7z that is named Tsubasa Oribe Casual Outfit (Alternate Version).GMD

Take that Tsubasa Oribe Casual Outfit (Alternate Version).GMD and rename it to C0001_003_00.GMD

And after that you go to

[rich tree]

except its not working lol

[molten finch]

Huh?

[hidden lion]

i wonder its also depend on which kasumi model u run?

[molten finch]

Did you set it to default?

[rich tree]

default summer casual

moved the renamed file

shes in summer default casual

not the mod

doesnt work for me

[molten finch]

Can you screenshot the folder?

[rich tree]

which folder

[molten finch]

Oh hmm what day is it in your rose & violet game if I'm wondering to ask

[rich tree]

day after futaba wakes up from her month long summer coma

and blue dress works just fine

all the baked in options in the mod work

[molten finch]

Hmm weird

Maybe remove the blue dress file and

put in the rename Tsubasa Oribe Casual Outfit (Alternate Version).GMD that is C0001_003_00.GMD onto the 0001 folder in Kasumi as Protag - Alt Model folder?

Not sure what file name was the blue dress one

[rich tree]

i doubt that would do it and id be worried about out right removing a mod

given ive had these mods act up when i try stuff

[molten finch]

Hmm weird because this was the tutorial for it, I got it to show up in overworld when renaming the file and replace it there

.

Ah did you disable the blue dress in the mod configure in reloaded ii? @rich tree

[rich tree]

yeah

[molten finch]

Hmm

Maybe try this and put it into the 0001 folder of kasumi as protag alt model

And idk if you got the pop up of if you want to overwrite or replace, if that option comes up press over write and check the nov 7, 2025 date on the file if that helps when successfully put it on that folder

@rich tree

[rich tree]

still nothing forever stuck in the summer dress if that option is on

oh well i like the blue dress just wanted to have another option

not sure why its not working

im going to bed though passing out >.<

thank you for trying though

[molten finch]

Hmm maybe ask Zylvos about it? I'm not sure what's causing it for you, as I had no issues getting it to work in overworld

[molten finch]

Hmmkay

[rich tree]

ive bugged zylvos enough lol

[molten finch]

Lol true

[rich tree]

I may only be on discord for another month either way so ill have to keep track of the mod on game bannana

there starting up id age verification and I am not a fan of that

[molten finch]

Ripp

[bold mortar]

oh yeah

say goodbye to me too lol

[hidden lion]

As far I understand the age verification only for nsfw marked chat or something

[bold mortar]

oh

well either way you guys won't see very much of me

[random hinge]

If you're replacing the file in the folder you've shown above : did you set the summer casual outfit option to Default?

For the Discord age verification thing : I certainly have not intention to give them my id so I'll see how it's going to affect me (I'm not on a lot of server, none of them have nsfw stuff)

To state the obvious : uploading your id (or personal information) on the internet is a bad idea. They can have their fun with their next data breach

[hidden lion]

fair.
still appriciate your goated work on the gyasumi model

[rich tree]

@random hinge yeah I had it set to default nothing changed

[random hinge]

And when you set it to default, what model do you see in game?

[rich tree]

Ponytail with the polka dot blue shirt and white shorts

Default summer

Woke up to my power out

I'm on my phone so typing is hard

[random hinge]

And you're not using the Red Rose mod ? It's strange because it shouldn't be able to load that model if you've replaced it.

[rich tree]

nope i dont have red rose installed

[rich tree]

the GMD 003 file that was shared here in the mod folder and my settings for pony tail and what i get in game

[random hinge]

You're using the long hair mod here

So you need to replace the file in the the long hair mod folder, not the ponytail one

The Tsubasa model only exists for the ponytail, so I assumed that's what you were using, ahah

[rich tree]

im using pony tail

and using that mod to open its folder

[hidden lion]

mona being cute for once.

[random hinge]

Hummm. Just so I don't misunderstand it : do you get the long hair model (with the polka dot) or was your screenshot only meant to show me the outfit ? Because it would be weird to get a long hair model when you're using the ponytail mod

[rich tree]

That in game shot is default summer casual on the pony tail mod

Long hair is disabled not on

And I clearedy user data for both mods

And reset the settings

The mod is fine just that outfit won't show and I get the wrong modal

[random hinge]

Alright, just wanted to make sure

And you said you cleared user data so it's weird it's able to find that model because it's only C0001_003_00 that's used for the summer casual in the overworld

I have to admit, I don't really know what's going on here

[rich tree]

Nor do i

Could the outfit mods being on do this?

[random hinge]

Well you could try disabling all the other model mods except for the Ponytail mod (if you have some in your load order)

[rich tree]

I have the two tsubasa outfits that I've been trying to get working

I think I'll stop poking it I love the blue dress just wanted to change it up

[rich tree]

family is taking me to Vegas for a concert on my birthday the 14th

ill have my phone to check discord

going to miss 3 days of dailys in p5x and genshin though

[rich tree]

@random hinge got it working I replaced the gmd file in both the pony tail mod and the long hair mod then set both mods to default summer. and only have the pony tail mod running

[random hinge]

Alright. That's weird, but at least it works now 🫠

[molten finch]

I think next time pick only one hairstyle you want to use for Kasumi, cuz if you have both ponytail and long hair together, it may cause problems. Just saying!

[rich tree]

thing is i removed the long hair mod like completely deleted it out of reloaded also deleted the pony tail mod to reinstall

when i reinstalled the pony tail mod the longhair one popped up

[molten finch]

I see there, yeah seems that you got too many mods installed or something, but at least you were able to get the alt tsubasa outfit working in overworld at least!

[coral prawn]

Hanged man is crazy work 😭

[lilac remnant]

haha

[still raven]

Hellooo is anyone else having a problem with the cut-in for the all-out attack? I keep getting the default "kasumi" one, but not the one where if you change the leotard to white and red

I keep fiddling with the alternate models but so far I had no luck

[rich tree]

are you using this setting in the pony tail or long hair mod depending on which one your using ?

[still raven]

I'm using the ponytail one! I did notice the cut-in option wasnt there, but i wasnt too sure if it was automatically attached to the phantom thief outfit or not

[rich tree]

if the option isnt in the mod then your mod must be out of date since it should be there

[still raven]

Lemme check the update and see if it matches with what I have CRIES

It's the right one: 1.4.2

Okay so it looks like the ponytail mod doesn't have the cut-in option, only the long hair
💀 what do.

[random hinge]

Do you mean that one? If so, it's only available for the long hair mod + only in black

[still raven]

I was thinking of this one~

It just shows up as ||sumire's cut-in|| but colored a bit pink
There's not even a mole or the eye shape changing

Ohhh wait, that's part of the long hair mod

I think i'm chronically stupid, there's no change in the ponytail one at all 💀

It's still the ||colored sumire cut in||, but it just hit me that there was probably no support for that version on the pony-tail mod

I was wondering why the hair style was different OTL

[random hinge]

The ponytail mod has only the "default" pose (same pose as Sumire). It is also edited with the slightly different eye shape and the mole.
Picking the other leotards colors will also change its color

[hidden lion]

Wait is this the alt long hair ?

[random hinge]

It's available in the Alternate models long hair mod

[hidden lion]

Huh. Never notice that.
Cool

[random hinge]

Gyasumi fans, rejoice!

Okay so that's not what I'm seeing on my end, it's the un-edited version with a pink film over it

Uhhh lemme see if I can get a Pic of it

[hidden lion]

colorful AOE?

[still raven]

Is that what that is?

[hidden lion]

might be.

[still raven]

Okay I just turned that off, time to test

[random hinge]

Yeah, it's likely the colorful options in KaP addon mod

[still raven]

Nope still the same OTL

Oh wait maybe I should turn everything off there

[hidden lion]

just try it cuz i had the same problem before

[still raven]

Yeah, I just turned everything off except the alternate loading

Time to test weee

YESSSS IT WORKED

SHE'S IN WHITE AND PINK

Thank you guys so much 😭 😭 😭 this was bugging my brain for a few days

[hidden lion]

lmao

[steep gale]

wut? A bustup error? I didn't see any errors on the console.

[hidden lion]

im maybe blind whats the error

[granite wren]

Look at the top left after Haru finishes speaking

the text goes up over the calendar display

[steep gale]

ya

[granite wren]

Ponytail Haru enjoyer

[hidden lion]

oh yeah i just saw that lmao

[random hinge]

Yeah, so this is a classic case of compilation error for the file that contains those dialogues. Can you share your mod load order, so I can figure out if it's my file?
I have been extremely careful with that kind of stuff and I'm surprised it's still happening. It could be another mod that's replacing that same file

[steep gale]

I'm going to review it in detail

[steep gale]

I fixed it... I tried disabling your mod, "Rose & Violet - Story Overhaul," and the option didn't appear. I think it happened because of the very specific conditions; I mean, Haru's social link hadn't started yet, and I had to send the calling card. When Akechi gave the notification to send it on the 19th, it fixed itself. Maybe your mod expected that her social link had already started? I don't know, it's confusing... I'm sending you what came up in the console; I don't know if it will help. Sorry for the trouble, hahaha

[random hinge]

Humm, weird but alright

[bold mortar]

Who made this

[granite wren]

Bunnimortis on Gamebanana
On their profile there is a Discord handle listed as well

[bold mortar]

I should get them to do a recolor for my black hair mod

[bold mortar]

@quasi jetty what do you think?

[quasi jetty]

hi hi! yeah I’m sure could

[bold mortar]

oh nice

i'll send you a dm

[quasi jetty]

Okiee

[bold mortar]

sent it

[bold mortar]

this may actually force me to release black hair mod

[bold mortar]

i added the link to the bustups mod to the main mod page

[bold mortar]

only downside is i'll have to add all the credits again

which is kinda more effort than its worth

[granite wren]

[bold mortar]

only thing i feel like putting any effort into updating now is the summer uniforms mod

but AIs have yet to perfect the bustup stuff

[bold mortar]

actually that reminds me, black hair still isn't technically finished

[hidden lion]

Speaking of that.
I notice in her summer uniform while using alt I notice her leg is back to original shade of color

[fathom wind]

the white and red outfit’s been getting some attention on twitter recently https://x.com/aamu_333/status/2023010550532526454

[bold mortar]

Which one

[hidden lion]

The summer uniform outfit if I recall
I need to double check again when it goes to summer

[hidden lion]

To be fair JP side think it's sumire rather than Kasumi

[bold mortar]

The white shirt or yukari one

[hidden lion]

school uniform so i guess its the white shirt

[bold mortar]

Pretty sure I changed that one

Ig I'll take a look when I get the chance

[hidden lion]

can i DM u the screen shoots when i got to summer time of the game.

[bold mortar]

sure

i'm looking at the model now it looks fine to me

[bold mortar]

oh if you're talking about the reskins then you're looking at the yukari summer uniform probably

the model doesn't really convey this well but the lighter color is meant to be like leggings or something

basically my attempt to cover the legs on that model while retaining yukari's socks

it's not a very good model but then again i don't use it so it doesn't really matter

[hidden lion]

yeah i think that the one

[bold mortar]

yeah the color there is deliberate

if you don't like it you can delete it from the folder

[hidden lion]

nah its all good i probably opt use other uniform

[bold mortar]

ok

pretty sure i made a more expansive reskin mod for gyasumi a while ago

i'll have to see about including that

[hidden lion]

aight bet thanks to letting us know

[bold mortar]

made it for all of them

well more like i made the gyasumi outfits for the other hair mods i did

and then there's black hair mod

which I would upload if I didn't have to put in the credits

or do all the models i'm never gonna use

could just release it as is though i suppose

[hidden lion]

Why not just the one u already have ready on deck

[bold mortar]

you mean what i already have finished?

[hidden lion]

oh? damn aight cool. looking forward for it.

[bold mortar]

Tf are you saying

[hidden lion]

nothing

[hidden lion]

just saying looking foward to see what u made

[bold mortar]

I see

Well it's gonna be fairly restrictive

Or that's more to say it will have less options probably

Or maybe none at all

Since I do not really want to make the remaining 40% or so of the models

[bold mortar]

yeah i definitely had more

[bold mortar]

ended up just deciding to make them

so it'll be a fully stocked mod

[coral loom]

I have a question is there any way to get the kasumi portraits from in game as like transparent pngs or something I tried looking in the mod files but couldn’t find anything,,,

[bold mortar]

Characters\Joker\1\FONT\SELECT

OptionalModFiles\Bustup

[bold mortar]

ok they're done

[coral loom]

I go there and it’s just a bin file, is there a way to open that?

[bold mortar]

weird

for me it's dds

[coral loom]

I see

I might know what the problem is

[bold mortar]

gonna wait for the bustups to be done before publishing though

[hidden lion]

speaking of that.

someone recently made gyasumi EPP

[bold mortar]

yeah i saw that

idk what that is though tbh

[hidden lion]

It's the portrait in battle that's it as far I understand

[bold mortar]

i see

ngl i don't really care about that

[hidden lion]

Fair fair
It's just small detail some people like but I'm also glad people now also make additional mods for gyasumi

[hidden lion]

"sir there another gyarusumi mod addon"

[granite wren]

https://tenor.com/view/absolute-peak-absolute-cinema-peak-peak-game-absolute-gif-974229005675599505

[hidden lion]

so real

[coral loom]

speaking of this I still couldn’t find anything other than the bin file for all the bustups even when I redownloaded it and extracted it outside of reloaded,, if anyone has the transparents on hand that would be wonderful :>

[quasi jetty]

Which ones are you looking for?

[coral loom]

the legacy and neutral ones

Or uh neutral smiling

Those 3 sets

Of the ponytail 👍

[bold mortar]

It's like the child I disowned is coming back to torment me

[hallow shore]

I suddenly have an issue with kasumi’s battle and field voice lines (like saving) reverting to those of joker, any known fixes?

[random hinge]

It could be an issue with your Ryo Framework or the Kasumi voice mod. Maybe try reinstalling both?

[bold mortar]

i was having this weird bug last week where the audio would just stop playing

[random hinge]

I haven't really played P5R in a while, but it doesn't look like the audio mods have received a lot of updates lately

I don't see a lot of people reporting that kind of issues so maybe reinstalling those mods will fix it

[bold mortar]

i had a question for you zylvos but now i forgot what it was

[random hinge]

Well, I'm going to bed so I'll try answering tomorrow morning if you remember what it was

[bold mortar]

ok

[hallow shore]

Yup reinstalling them both seemed to have fixed it

[hidden lion]

Wait is it like randomly just cut off all audio ? Cuz I also had those couples time but I thought it was common issue even as non moded ?

[bold mortar]

a lot of the time the music would just stop

and then the menu sound effects too

then music would come back after a battle

but not the effects

[hidden lion]

Yep I had exact same problem at random interval.

Sometime all audio just gone and just palace ambiance,

Or sometime like small stuff like baton pass audio gone or persona summoning sound missing
Etc

It's random

[bold mortar]

i see

never had it before last week so idk what was causing it

kinda ruined the yaldy fight

but also i hate that part of the game so no big deal

[ocean wolf]

I’ve had the latter one happen occasionally too, got a lot more common with Kaneshiro’s Palace too (no idea if it’ll keep up for more Palaces after that, haven’t gotten that far in this playthrough yet). No idea if this issue is even Rose & Violet related though

Usually for me it either comes good on its own or it can be fixed by restarting the game, I rarely need to restart though

[bold mortar]

tried to reproduce it with R&V off but it wouldn't show up

i was getting it at the end of the game

so idk what caused it to begin with

especially since this was like my 5th run and i've never had the issue before

[ocean wolf]

A friend of mine had the same problem sometimes, about the same severity but it needed to be restated to make it go away

[bold mortar]

yeah but restarting sucks

i'd rather not have the bug at all

[ocean wolf]

yeah, for me it usually just fixes itself

[bold mortar]

it never fixes itself for me

the music will come back on but the sound effects will stop working

[hidden lion]

did yall game not responding when u try exit the game? when the audio glitch happen

[ocean wolf]

..huh. Good question

I have had it not respond when I hit exit game sometimes but I never paid attention to if it coincided with the audio error

[hidden lion]

cuz i do have that problem when the game start acting up
when u try exit the game through main menu and i had to force close it or just say "close program" when the "not responding" pops up

[bold mortar]

i don't have that problem

[hidden lion]

odd. maybe just me but we have commonality of problem being audio randomly just gone untill restarting the game

[bold mortar]

i now just remembered what i was gonna ask zylvos

@random hinge do you know where in the files is the gymnastics model stored for the 3rd semester cutscene ||in maruki's palace||?

[bold mortar]

i've come up with a new winter casual

i know its from midwinter rise but i think it'd work fine as a regular winter one

also combined these two

kinda meh

might be better to make the jacket shorter

to make it seem less like a winter coat

something like this

[hidden lion]

bro what the fuck she so fucken cuteeeee

love it

[bold mortar]

so i should do the shorter one?

also i should probably borrow the gyasumi outfit instead of the rise one since it doesn't have much under the jacket

like this ig

maybe i should go back to the other one

[hidden lion]

I mean it is supposed be winter outfit so having jacket over a sweater look better imo

[bold mortar]

so the second?

[hidden lion]

Yea this kind look more winter appropriate

[bold mortar]

winter or midwinter?

[hidden lion]

Honestly double like this more fitting midwinter

[bold mortar]

thats what i was thinking

i was trying to come up with a regular winter though

[hidden lion]

And this would probably be the winter honestly
Mix of cute dress with the fluffy jacket

At least that's how I see it

[bold mortar]

ok

i'll just work with that

[hidden lion]

good luck mate

[bold mortar]

dunno how this is gonna appear in game though

oh no it's ok

[quasi jetty]

It’s so cute!

[bold mortar]

ok

i think that's more or less done

though i think i'll make the dress a bit longer

[quasi jetty]

Which phantom thief outfit will she have?

[bold mortar]

before and after

[bold mortar]

wdym?

[quasi jetty]

Like her phantom thief costume would it be the black one or like the red and white one or something

[bold mortar]

uhhhh

generally i use the pure white one

but i also don't use the PT outfit anymore

i prefer to just use the school uniform

[quasi jetty]

Gotcha gotcha I was just wondering for the Bustup

[bold mortar]

ahh

[bold mortar]

you probably should just start with black or white as the default

[quasi jetty]

Yeah I just finished the gyasumi one and that’s red and white but it’s easy to recolor since I have the individual layers and everything

[bold mortar]

cool

wish this had more to work with

is what it is ig

made the sleeves skinnier

i think it's more or less done now

[hidden lion]

nice work

[bold mortar]

guess i'll have to test it out in game

and then take some pictures for the mod

otherwise people will harass me in the comments

[bold mortar]

i'm like a film director who hates audiences

[hidden lion]

sooo rr martin?

[bold mortar]

i don't know anything about him except that he did the lore for Elden Ring

[random hinge]

For the audio issue: Ryo Framework used to have an issue where upon levelling up, the audio level of menu sounds, combat sounds, etc became very low. It was a long time ago and it's fixed now. A bit more testing is probably required before reporting that issue, if only to get the logs so we can maybe see what's causing it

[hidden lion]

If I got something similar I should be able to see the log but how to check the logs again.

[random hinge]

NPC Kasumi models are in MODEL\CHARACTER\2111
Gymnastics leotard is C2111_074_00.GMD

[bold mortar]

thanks

do i need to get that from the game files or is in it KAP?

actually ig it wouldn't be

[random hinge]

You can also check the Reloaded window that opens when you play the game. It displays stuff that's loaded, etc. Enable "Print File Registration" in CRI FileSystem V2 Hook config option to get more stuff showed

[random hinge]

It's not edited in my mod or in KaP

I can send it here if you don't want to bother

[bold mortar]

already extracted it

just need to set up my mod to have it

which just leaves the bustups now

since i did everything else

[hidden lion]

ok so this was the log of my game where it lost audio (i was afk in safe room for few minute and when i try fight i didnt have any audio except palace ambiance (there still audio in battle but outside that nothing)

[bold mortar]

If only chatgpt could read these logs like it can with fallout logs

[hidden lion]

as in game code logs?

[bold mortar]

yeah

there's a logger for new vegas which ai's can read and they'll tell you exactly which mod is causing problems

[hidden lion]

ah good ol 3 and vegas

[random hinge]

I'll look into it when I'm home. For how long were you playing when the issue happened? You said you waited a few minutes in the safe room, but I assume you didn't just load a save before that?
Also, Bester has had this issue since at least last week, but for how long has it been happening to you? P5REssentials has been updated not too long ago so it could be that too

[hidden lion]

this like the fastest one i had this bugged.

this is afk in saferoom without pausing

it was my first session of the game for today probably like 10-30 minute

[random hinge]

Alright, I'll see if I can reproduce the issue.
What about my 3rd question?

[hidden lion]

essential been updated to latest

i update all mods when there a pop up

[random hinge]

Yeah, but for how long have you had this issue?

[hidden lion]

unless i had to do it manualy for essential hold on let me check

[random hinge]

Bester said last week so it seems recent

[hidden lion]

this is not the first time for what total 4 full run of the game there at least 1-2 for each run. on random interval in different palace / memento section

2.9.4 was the latest correct?

[random hinge]

Alright, so it may not be a recent issue. It may not be thay easy to replicate too

I think 2.9.4 is the latest

[hidden lion]

i could try again when got to kaneshiro palace cuz it happen often before u find the first safe room

[ocean wolf]

yeah my friend's had the similar issues for way longer, I forget how long but it was definitely over a month ago at least

[hidden lion]

it month or two
my biggest assumption is just to many mods intalled (not apply) but guess not

[ocean wolf]

as an example I recently had it cut out during Makoto's Awakening while replaying it, most of the sound was still there but sound effects like the engine revving were gone

[hidden lion]

that also i notice

but sometimes the audio cut also make like boss dialog (pre and post battle) just gone

which happen on okumura for me once

[bold mortar]

I think i got that bug there too

But then forgot about it

[random hinge]

I've replayed Makoto's awakening and I'm not encountering any audio issues

I don't really know how to test it without replaying the game proper

If anyone is playing the game right now and encountering that issue, could you make note of how long you've been playing without closing the game (just loaded a save? 5 min? 30 min? hours?) and check if you're using the latest version of each mod

[hidden lion]

i can try record later i just done madarame and probably will take hour or so for story fluff can try record when starting infilteration

[random hinge]

Well it's not so much about recording it happening. It would difficult to report an issue if we can't figure out the circumstances that are causing the issue

Like if you need to play for a least 30 min

That could mean it's some memory issue or something

The sounds are not deleting themselves, so it means something is preventing the game from playing them

If you get that issue again, make sure you note what you were doing before. That could help

[hidden lion]

Understand
The recording just as I guess can be said a physical proof.

But I take note on the likes of
How long it been played
Or if it's just load it in.

And all my mods that's applied are all updated

I make 2 recording cuz why not
One before going into the palace and one use save outside the bank before Makoto awakening

But I also have sneaking suspicion it could be inaba patcher but then again these Audio bugs also happen without them.

[bold mortar]

I've had it happen like 10 minutes into a session

I think I read something on this server like there's so much sound effects at once that the game gets overloaded and has trouble playing sounds after that

Could be misremembering

[random hinge]

Now that I think about it, I may have encountered it once in Sae's Palace when I was testing/developing the mod

So it may be like Bester says

[rich tree]

im wondering if its the sound mod wisteria posted a few months ago to make the game quieter since I use that mod and ive lost all music or sound in a few fights over more then one playthrough

my last run 2 months ago I lost audio in the casino boss fight

my current run has had zero issues so far and im in october now in that run

[bold mortar]

yeah casino boss definitely had it

at first i thought royal heist was causing it

[rich tree]

do you use this mod ?

if so ive had to disable it for 2 fights in recent memory

and i dont run royal heist the two fights ive had issues with the sound mod are the space port boss and casino

and once with the boss on the ship

[bold mortar]

yeah

i remember that mod used to cause the voices to revert to english

but iirc it got updated

[rich tree]

well ill be in casino in another few days

i can see if it glitches out this run

it was fine in the space port

[bold mortar]

it started with the casino boss for me

though it may have also happened during makoto's awakening

i don't remember

[bold mortar]

looks ok

need to fix the leg poking through the skirt

and figure out why the fur part is turning white

[bold mortar]

fixed it

ok all good now

need to fix this though

man i hate trying to fix this shit

[rich tree]

ok im curious enough to ask you seem to not enjoy P5R that much so why spend this much time and stress modding it?

[bold mortar]

i like to tinker with games

and 5 is the only persona game i know how tinker with

4 sounds like its just very annoying to work with and I refuse to use UE so 3 is off the table

also 5 i've more or less made my peace with

besides the fact the game handholds you the entire game

that pisses me off

[bold mortar]

fixed it

[hidden lion]

so this happen 1 hour into playing

an enemy attack dont have audio (but everything else is fine)
all mods that apply is all updated, and this was when i try to get to the kaneshiro arc lol.

[ocean wolf]

Huh, interesting. I’ve had it happen as early as Kamoshida but it got way more common with Kaneshiro

[bold mortar]

gentle sound effects on?

[hidden lion]

every other sound is on just enemy attack didnt
i dont run gentle sound mod.

[bold mortar]

hmmm

good ig

that doesn't seem to be the problem

means i can keep it

[hidden lion]

Even as far I know
The first or 2nd time I play with mods it's starting to have audio bug this is before I know what inaba patcher for.

[random hinge]

Hmm, the log isn't telling much

Inaba patcher, as far as I can tell, is a dependency used by other mods

Maybe Royal Heist in your case

I've seen people having issues because of Inaba Patcher though, like being forced to romance Takemi because the romance flag would always be set during her rank 9

[ocean wolf]

if I remember to I can send a log file next time it happens to me too and see if there's any commonalities if that'd help?

[random hinge]

Sure

The log doesn't display any error or warning here

But might as well see if there's anything in yours

[hidden lion]

hmmmm not sure cuz this been a happening even before using RH.

[ocean wolf]

damn lmao, is that something I should be watching out for? (haven't hit rank 9 with her yet) :P or is that like old news lol

[ocean wolf]

yeah I don't think I've got that one

[hidden lion]

and for all these probably like 7/8 play through
i havent had this glitch/bug.

[random hinge]

That issue with Inaba Patcher happened only once, so I doubt it's going to be the reason here. It may have been a problem with that person's save file (since it's where the flags are stored)

Hmmmm, does the bug always happens before/after a battle?

Like Makoto's awakening is right before a battle

[hidden lion]

her combat audio as far i recall last playthrough is normal no audio lost but after battle is johana engine not playing. im rn on part where makoto telling us to look for kaneshiro

[ocean wolf]

usually it's mid-battle or at the start of a battle for me iirc

and then there's no issues out of battle and sometimes when I get into the next battle it's fixed itself, sometimes it takes a few fights, sometimes it doesn't fix itself at all

[hidden lion]

one other like tell is the pop up comment from your teammates like , strong shadow, chest.etc just dont read and the pop up immediately gone

[bold mortar]

it started with RH for me i think

[ocean wolf]

that part doesn't happen for me I think? Haven't noticed at least

[hidden lion]

i mean if u didnt download royal heist its other

[ocean wolf]

when it happened for Makoto's Awakening I noticed that it was specifically when like. One sec actually let me grab the screenshot-

[hidden lion]

the one where she rip her mask ?

[ocean wolf]

about here, there's the sound effect of the Shadows emerging and it gets cut off about halfway through and then some of the sounds stay gone

it doesn't happen every time though

I've ended up playing through this Awakening like 6 times somehow and it only happened for 2 of those

[hidden lion]

i should do a safe before going in just to see if it happen

[bold mortar]

Could be like bethesda games where after a certain amount of mods the game just stops working

[hidden lion]

funny enough thats also what i assume. rn i have 77 downloaded but ofc only few activated

[ocean wolf]

idk I've only got 39, most are just Rose & Violet and everything it needs in order to work

[bold mortar]

I have a decent amount of qol and r&v related mods

I suppose I could play vanilla too to rule out anything R&V related

[hidden lion]

Nah cuz if I recall my first ever run of R&V never had any Audio glitch/bug

[hollow plinth]

i've been having some audio issues as well on my new run of R&V. never had this bug before and it only started happening after updating some mods. most of the time it occurs is when i'm in a fight (some sfx would cut off, e.g. the AOA, persona summons) but it also happens in the overworld and cutscenes.

my guess is that something is skipping the audio. when i was at the big door in madarame's palace the dialogue would cut off and refuse to play but it'd still continue when auto mode is turned on.

[hidden lion]

Ok update.
Right now Im uploading raw game before going to kaneshiro palace (before Makoto awakening)

And the last save is before meeting ohya (around 1 hour game and see the difference between last save and before going in the bank)

And it's working. As it supposed to aside Makoto ridding Johana after awakening Abit jank lol.

[hidden lion]

https://youtu.be/VHACtVOmfgo here video for the testing

and the log @random hinge if this help
but my best guess rn it could do with how long session been going.

i see if i can record later the run for first safe room cuz usually the audio cut also happen there.

[hollow plinth]

in my experience the audio cuts regardless of how long the game's been up.

it could happen right off the bat after loading a save or after an hour passed

[hidden lion]

The fastest happen to me on madarame.

5-10 minute AFK on safe room without pause menu

Got out safe room audio just gone just palace ost/ambiance and battle comment from Morgana.

[surreal ermine]

I've had issues with the audio for a bit but Ryo said it was probably because I was on Linux. idk

[hidden lion]

Nah it's not just Linux it's seems

I'm on window

[surreal ermine]

I mostly had issues using wisteria silent sfx mod but i can see how some of the audio added through the kasumi over joker voice mod

can also trigger the issue

[hidden lion]

I have no other Audio mods aside the necessary for R&v

[random hinge]

Thanks! The only audio cut i've noticed is at 4:31. According to the log, it's a voiceline played by "[22:40:50] Register_File: SOUND/EVENT_BATTLE/E296.AWB"

I believe that file isn't edited by the audio mods

[hidden lion]

What do u mean by that ?

[random hinge]

I mean that it's not a modded file. The game fails to play a voiceline which comes from the unmodded game

[hidden lion]

Oh yep

I just recheck

That was the unmoded line

Guess I was zoned out

[random hinge]

Could you post your load order? So i can check for other mods that could edit that file

It doesn't seem like Royal Heist edits that file at least

[hidden lion]

I get that in few hour
Cuz rn midnight and all

And as far I ask the RH creator they didn't touch any dialog or audio

[random hinge]

Alright

If we can't figure it out, I propose we make a help thread because it's not really R&V related

[hidden lion]

Aight sound good

I guess other also ?
Cuz it's seems common issue (well not all but still)

[random hinge]

Yeah, we make a thread where we gather the bug reports from everyone who has the bug

[hidden lion]

Sound (pun intended)
Good

[hidden lion]

The only dialog I can think off they edit / return to default is
The masked figure fight

Where "glare at joker"

[random hinge]

We could try a few things:

• Try the fight where the voiceline cuts again, to see if it happens consistently. If that works, we have a reference to test potential fixes.
• Try disabling some mods (like the voice mods) until it fixes itself. If disabling a model mod fixes it, we can't rule out it's a bit random

[hidden lion]

I made save for the fight so I could try again this morning and see if the bugs happen

But for the test recording it's seems work aside the guard audio cut off

Then again I have no voice mod but the requirements for R&V

But also I need to check if the audio bugs with exploration in kaneshiro palace also persistent.

[hidden lion]

sorry it took while for this. here my mod loader

[bold mortar]

reminds me that gyasumi reskins is a thing

gonna update that now

[hidden lion]

i mean i like the moddest winter for it.

[bold mortar]

which one

[hidden lion]

the default i guess its the yukari winter.

[bold mortar]

oh

yeah

[hidden lion]

in the reskin

[bold mortar]

still there

difference is the yukari summer uniform is replaced by a variation of the white shirt uniform

this'll be the new winter uniform

and new summer casual

[hidden lion]

ok those are FIRE

[bold mortar]

white shirt summer is basically the same but the wristband is removed and maybe the earrings too

i forget

idk

stopped working on this so my modding stuff is focused on black hair

these will be in that mod too btw

actually i made them for all the hair mods i did

but idk if i'll release the others

[hidden lion]

fair enough

[bold mortar]

basically gyasumi outfits for alt bangs and so forth

[hidden lion]

its cute regardless

[hidden lion]

I Try the same fight and all the voice line is done all right no cut (sadly forgot to record)
But it is fresh play like 5 minute basically.

[hidden lion]

LMAO this is new.

(its got back to normal to the walkway hideout after exit the "roof top")

ok i found the problem lol

its ryuji if u try get the group together via talking with ryuji at school this happen

[granite wren]

(Cook 'em the update note was very clear lmao)

[bold mortar]

I'm totally vindicated on hating the commenters

[hidden lion]

to fair persona fans not known for reading comprehension

[magic magnet]

Or playing the game

[granite wren]

Haru Okumura from hit Johnawesome let's play Persona 5...

[hidden lion]

tru

[hidden lion]

2 best girl doing their best

[vernal sinew]

Wanted to try giving Gyasumi Yukari's Cardigan but i cannot get her textures to work at all 😔

In blender they're like stuck in this weird beige color unless i switch to a diff shader too

[random hinge]

Maybe it doesn't have UVs?

You could try to assign an existing material to it

[vernal sinew]

Oh yeah it didnt

Which is rlly weird cuz i did select UV's

And they work fine in blender they just seem to get lost on export

Ok i got it omg

Had to manually add the UV

[bold mortar]

Gotta make sure the material is from p5 too

Or else it'll look weird in game

[vernal sinew]

Looks good!

[bold mortar]

Fancy

Kinda disproportionate compared to Kasumi's proportions though

[vernal sinew]

Ye true

It was my first ever persona model edit so i didnt rlly do much

[bold mortar]

Fair enough

[random hinge]

Well, Kasumi and Yukari have very similar proportions (compared to the P3D assets at least)

Which was quite handy because I didn't need to adjust too much to make the clothes fit

[vernal sinew]

Yukari looks a bit more synched around the waist if anything but that might also just be cuz of the shape of Sumi's blazer

[bold mortar]

That's what I was thinking

[vernal sinew]

Imma color it in to fit the shujin uniform better

Is this cute lol

[bold mortar]

Gotta fix the ascot

[vernal sinew]

Kinda reminds me of this

[vernal sinew]

The way i thought i ate w the pattern

[random hinge]

Can someone who is having the sound issues try something for me?
Basically, I'm suspecting the issue is with Reloaded, not any of the sound mods in particular. The evidences are:

• The issue impacts sound files that aren't edited by mods,
• The issue impacts random files or events,
• The issue impacts certain voicelines/sounds within the files, not all of them,
• The issue can happen shortly after loading a save or after a long time playing.
  Personally, I've been using Reloaded v1.29.2 released in July 2025, before I even released R&V. I don't remember that type of issue being reported to me back then. Moreover, I haven't been able to replicate the issue with basically the same mod list as everyone and all my mods are up to date.
  Can someone download and install Reloaded v1.29.2, move their mods to it and continue playing to see if the issue happens?
  You can grab it here:
  https://github.com/Reloaded-Project/Reloaded-II/releases/tag/1.29.2

You might need to redo your configuration options

[rain crag]

in the video they sent, they have modded bgm playing through ryo

muting is known to happen, mostly on p4g though but ig p5r too (now apparently?)

[hidden lion]

Yeah but it's inconsistent.

Tho long session in palace or memento is more likely.

[surreal ermine]

yeah it's inconsistent. we hate inconsistent bugs

[hidden lion]

It's like that one quest in Vegas where u catch the computer virus in brothers bunker.

[rain crag]

it is probably consistent though, decent chance it only happens when ryo audio is being played

[random hinge]

That would explain the muting in the video, because I don't recognize the bgm playing in that battle so it must be modded

When you guys say you have sound issues in Makoto's awakening / Yaldabaoth / etc : Are you using mods / costumes that change the bgm and does it happen in combat first?

When people mention Makoto's awakening, I assume it's the battle and not the cutscene, right?

[hidden lion]

The in-game cutscenes

The one where she finally got Johana

The one I record was another random one

Cuz for like 2 playthrough
That Makoto awakening scene audio was chopped the dialog still run but no music or Johana audio

[rain crag]

bgm is notable, but also any ryo audio is limited to just 1 single file playing per in-game audio player i think

presumably if two sfx, replaced with ryo, tried playing at once the first would be cutoff

never tested it though, since i only care about bgm and there's only ever one of those playing

[bold mortar]

royal heist definitely changes bgm

[hidden lion]

Let me ask the dev of that mod to make sure

Cuz as far I understand
They only modified

• skills
• enemy Ai & it's skill loadout
• and generally battle related

Nothing on music or audio end.

[random hinge]

There are audio files in Royal Heist, probably for some skills. It doesn't use Ryo though

[surreal ermine]

royal heist adds custom shadows/personas so audio files would be needed for those

but i didn't know it changes bgm at all

[random hinge]

Royal Heist has a BP01.ACB

Which is also edited by the Kasumi as Protag voice patch

[surreal ermine]

rip i didn't expect them to have a conflict

[random hinge]

So that could explain the cuting in battles

There's still a few people who said they have this issue without Royal Heist

The video is a mini boss fight so I assume it uses Keeper of Lust as a bgm

KaP has an optional bgm replacement for Keeper of Lust, so we could try disabling it to see if the bug is still happening

[hidden lion]

Hmm I guess
But then again this also happen before I even download RH.

So had to be other things

Hold on how many time again keeper of lust played ?
I thought it's just a kamoshido palace ost.

[random hinge]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2uhU_1Vx6o

It's used everywhere in the game, despite the name

I can't think of any other skill/sound effect replacer (except the gentle sound effect thingy). The weapon & equipment patch doesn't change sounds

[hidden lion]

Oh "the enemy maybe harder than usual" theme

Huh I guess I really auto pilot this theme.

[bold mortar]

pretty sure some songs get changed

or maybe that's just the black mask mod

[surreal ermine]

the black mask mod changes the first stage to will power and the secodn to rivers in the desert instrumental

but that edits the TBL files not the audio files

[hidden lion]

Huh

Hmmm I wonder what did they edit those
I Might ask them when they available

[vernal sinew]

Did the fit eat or nah

[coral loom]

yes so much

[vernal sinew]

[bold mortar]

are those the legwarmers i made or new ones?

[granite wren]

She looks so funky

[vernal sinew]

It's the ones you made i just kinda deformed them to kinda blend more into the legs to make it look like thigh highs w a bit of flare around the calfs (Those are the calfs right? 😭)

I also hope it's ok i edited them i mean i can also remove them if u want!!

[bold mortar]

no i was just wonder how you did it

[vernal sinew]

Ahh

[bold mortar]

might copy it for some of my outfits now

[vernal sinew]

Just adjusted the mesh in edit mode and blended the textures kinda together

[vernal sinew]

I can send u the GMD if u want

[bold mortar]

no i can make it myself

[vernal sinew]

Ahh aightoo

[bold mortar]

should probably reiterate this about my views on modding too

idc at all about permissions for mods

[vernal sinew]

Ahhh i see

Yah no i usually don't work w other ppl's stuff so i got scared 😭😭

[bold mortar]

as far as I care it should be essentially open for everyone

[random hinge]

I recognize Haru's idle animation

[vernal sinew]

Personalized my gal a little okayy

I wanted to use Makoto's but her legs kept looking jiggly

[random hinge]

The legs look weird because the corresponding bones in Kasumi/Sumire models is named differently from the other characters

[vernal sinew]

Ye ik i did all the bone name redirecting or whatever that was called again

But her thighs stayed wobbly

[bold mortar]

may need to make the colors even more similar

[vernal sinew]

So i just went „bleh whatevsies“ and used Haru‘s

[random hinge]

You'll also get the wobbly leg with Haru's, even if it's way less noticeable

[vernal sinew]

I‘ll take less noticable over in your face

[bold mortar]

better i think

[random hinge]

Basically, the name of the bone in Haru's animation (that you've retargeted) just needs to be renamed for it to work

[vernal sinew]

Makes sense

Got bone-related trauma from Arkham modding 😔

[bold mortar]

i'll see how this looks in game

may just keep the recolor but not the mesh edits

[vernal sinew]

It‘s a matter of realigning the texture over and over

[bold mortar]

can't even see it in game as far as i can tell

[vernal sinew]

Ooo nice!!

[random hinge]

Wait a minute... Haru's bones are actually named like Kasumi

So it actually works wthout needing to rename the bones, ahah

[bold mortar]

i think i'll stick with the mesh being unedited though

[vernal sinew]

Understandable

I just wanted to add more flare to make them look more loose while also blending in well w the thigh high texture

[random hinge]

Anyway, if you want to fix the wobbly legs after retargeting animation to Kasumi, you can go in GFD studio inside the animation controllers and rename the bones in the "Target Name" box

For the legs, you want to rename :

• "Bip01 L ThighTwist" to "Bip01 LThighTwist" (remove the space between L and Thigh)
• "Bip01 R ThighTwist" to "Bip01 RThighTwist" (remove the space between R and Thigh)

And that should be it

[vernal sinew]

Imma tryy

[bold mortar]

sticking with this

[random hinge]

For Makoto, you actually need to rename them before retargeting or they will not transfer. The skirt will clip though

[vernal sinew]

Ahhhh

Thats why i couldnt find the bone names

[bold mortar]

very confused by this one

why is she ginger

[granite wren]

Might be like a combo of Makoto Yuki and Kotone? It threw me off too seeing it admittedly

[bold mortar]

idk my mod doesn't have ginger hair

[granite wren]

but it would be fun if we end up seeing a whole spectrum of Kasumi hair colours

[granite wren]

Yeah but I think they might have done a recolour on it to get ginger hair

[bold mortar]

that's a lot of work

[granite wren]

They're doing the cutscenes too so yeah

kinda crazy work levels

[bold mortar]

https://gamebanana.com/wips/98416

oh

here it is

[granite wren]

Maybe eventually we'll see the 7 Rose souls or something with different hair colours

[random hinge]

They've edited the model

https://tenor.com/view/james-doakes-james-doakes-sus-face-james-doakes-suspicious-james-doakes-reaction-erik-king-gif-14404252364057104628

[vernal sinew]

For some reason the renaming just didnt apply

[bold mortar]

i say this but i helped cause it

https://tenor.com/boRBT.gif

[granite wren]

Not really
That's a lot of changes from the original Makoto Yuki model
A lot of, uh, interesting changes...?

kasuga ichiban

protagonist of the worst yakuza game ever

[hidden lion]

I love Erik Andre lmao

[granite wren]

Agree to disagree I love him

[bold mortar]

i hated Y8

[hidden lion]

I heard IW is messy?

[bold mortar]

honestly probably more than Y6

[bold mortar]

yeah 8 is really rough

[granite wren]

Kiryu kinda takes over halfway through

[bold mortar]

and they decided "hmm lets make a shitty pirate game spinoff"

instead of fixing their ishin kiwami game

[hidden lion]

Yeah Majima one is sure a choice.

[granite wren]

tbh Pirate Yakuza DID have the best incarnation of Mad Dog style so far, hopefully someone can backport that

[bold mortar]

remember when this was a crime drama series?

[granite wren]

500 more dead villains to the Daidoji please

[bold mortar]

oh yeah

kiwami 3

i will to the day i die defend the OG 3

[hidden lion]

Honestly i like 3 but the blocking sure is annoying

[bold mortar]

get good

[hidden lion]

Fair

Just like mahjong

[bold mortar]

anyways yeah pretty much all the new releases have been RGG sinking as low as possible

[granite wren]

I like 5 the most because I like the Princess League and playing as Akiyama

[bold mortar]

Ishin Kiwami is easily the worst

[bold mortar]

akiyama is more fun in 4

[hidden lion]

Everybody love Akiyama

[bold mortar]

because they murdered my favorite one

og ishin is so good

and they murdered it

[granite wren]

True true
the dream would be 4 Akiyama in 5 but I do enjoy the Princess League section so that kinda pushes 5 up for me

[bold mortar]

i'm sure the modding server has something like that

top 5 worst yakuza games

1. Ishin Kiwami
2. 3 Kiwami
3. Pirates
4. Infinite Wealth
5. Yakuza 6

[granite wren]

I'll have a look at some point
Also want to emulate Y1 at some point to experience the English dub

[bold mortar]

they made a horrendous y0 dub afaik

[granite wren]

I need to experience "COME ON FUCKER/TEN YEARS IN THE JOINT" in its natural habitat
why did they have everyone swear so much

[bold mortar]

https://giphy.com/gifs/mad-Ss788WDGY5E5i

[bold mortar]

they murdered my goat

[granite wren]

More positive news though, looks like BigBenClockTower's nearly done with the navi lines
which was the one thing putting my friend off from trying the mod

[bold mortar]

i play in japanese so I can't understand a word they say anyways

everyone tells me to play the english dub but i never do

[granite wren]

Just a me thing but I kinda find the voices too samey to play Japanese in any of the games

[bold mortar]

they all sound alike

[granite wren]

Probably a young anime characters moment

[bold mortar]

they all look alike

[granite wren]

like I don't really have that issue playing Yakuza or Tokyo Mirage or anything

[bold mortar]

idk i can tell who'se speaking pretty well

[granite wren]

and I think JP Teddie's a warcrime

[bold mortar]

erm

no

he's my goat

idk i can't stand listening to english speakers use japanese honorifics

[granite wren]

Anyone here know about packing audio mods?

cuz they needed help with that side

[hidden lion]

Yea I can't wait also

[bold mortar]

oh wait those lines will be in english

so it does nothing for me lol

they should've done more dubs

[random hinge]

I can have a look at your file, but I might have forgotten to tell you there are 2 more bones to rename in that animation.
Step 1 : Copy BE0006_001.GAP in your work folder.
Step 2 : In BE0006_001.GAP, go to animation 0 and remove the space between L/R and Thigh in the following bones:
Bip01 L ThighTwist
Bip01 L ThighTwist1
Bip01 R ThighTwist
Bip01 R ThighTwist1
Export BE0006_001.GAP and save it over the one in your work folder.
Step 3 : Retarget the .gap file in your work folder to Kasumi

That should do it

[bold mortar]

would be funny to play in french or something

[vernal sinew]

Imma try that then

[bold mortar]

i played tears of the kingdom in french

made my experience of that mess much better

[random hinge]

Maybe use Ryo? They could try Count Joelcula (aka HappyGrinch08) to make it work like the voice patch

[bold mortar]

perhaps someone can make an AI dub of persona

[granite wren]

Oh yeah good call
I'll pass on the info

[hidden lion]

Aw nah baguette language

[vernal sinew]

It worked yippie

Thanksiesss

[random hinge]

You're welcome

[toxic bison]

I'm thinking about also making a brunette version of cutscenes too

[bold mortar]

ok

[vernal sinew]

Sayori what are you doin here

[bold mortar]

if you ever do i could include them in the main mod if you like

[toxic bison]

Now we're cooking

[ocean wolf]

I have the ‘some holdup music’ on but other than that I don’t think so unless one of the Rose & Violet dependencies also does sound adjustments

[ocean wolf]

For me it’s the cutscene, usually it happens in random battles though

[molten finch]

Def gonna be using this for Rose & Violet, when I get to 3rd Semester 👌

https://gamebanana.com/sounds/73174

[lusty cape]

It's fitting too

[molten finch]

Truly and Which version is the best

Reload, FES or Special?

[bold mortar]

usually i prefer og tracks

but probably reload

[molten finch]

I saw people said reload ver was watered down or something and prefered FES ver a lot more

[bold mortar]

i don't remember what the og sounds like tbh

generally i listen to the reload versions

except for battle for everyone's souls

og is way better

[molten finch]

Truly there and I could use either FES or Special ver when fighting Sumire as Kasumi for Rose & Violet's 3rd Semester 🤔

[lusty cape]

For me I think it's special version because it's sounds like persona 5 vibes

[molten finch]

Oh true, while others like FES and Reload fits more with Persona 3 there

so I think I'll go with Special ver for fighting Sumire as Kasumi in Rose & Violet due to persona 5 music vibe~

[random hinge]

Oh yeah, your edits are awesome! I like how you've edited the opening so far, it's very creative to reuse in-game animations!
I don't know if you've seen it, but other people also had the idea of editing the animated cutscene. I don't how far they got into it, but if you want to have a look, they have a thread here:

[hidden lion]

Why I feel a rosarian made this.
That flame look to familiar.

[royal mica]

oh, are we approaching 2d cutscenes???

[vestal cedar]

Just wanted to add to this, it seems like the issue happens differently depending on where you loaded the save. If it's in the overworld and then you go to mementos/palace, then the combat/palace specific sounds start cutting out. If you load a save that was in a palace, then those sounds will work fine and the ones in the overworld stop working.
It feels like there's a certain "buffer" of sounds that fills up and then the rest stop playing, if that makes any sense.
Anyway, I'm going to try 1.29.2 and see if that resolves my issues.

[ocean wolf]

that tracks, I hadn't been paying attention to it but off the top of my head, at least for the Makoto Awakening scene example the times where the bug didn't occur were ones where I loaded the save within the Palace

[vestal cedar]

It's interesting that people keep mentioning Makoto's awakening, because that palace was the worst for me. I lost like 80% of the sounds there, had to restart the game to fix it.

[ocean wolf]

yeah I'd been having the bug since Kamoshida but it got a Lot worse at Kaneshiro

I'm only up to Futaba currently and only for one play session but I don't think the glitch happened there yet, there were a couple moments where it felt like an ambush was a bit quieter than usual so maybe there was one sound effect missing there but otherwise it's been fine so far

[vestal cedar]

The two things that seems to bug out the most are AoAs and footsteps in the rain, so if I can confirm those are working with downgraded Reloaded, that would most likely confirm it. I'll play longer just to make sure tho

[random hinge]

I'd say, keep playing with this version of Reloaded for now. If you don't encounter the issue after playing past Futaba's palace, I'd say we have a strong lead

[vestal cedar]

Thankfully that's exactly where I'm at in the game lol

[random hinge]

Well, keep playing for a while longer then, ahah

[vestal cedar]

Oh I meant like, I'm about to start Futaba's arc

[random hinge]

Oh, alright

[hidden lion]

To be fair futaba place have that one section that quite long .
It even need 2 safe room for 1 sector basically.

[vestal cedar]

After playing for a few hours, I haven't encountered any disappearing audio. I did both everyday stuff and Mementos, it all worked fine

Except for footsteps in the rain, but I'm starting to think that's unrelated

[hidden lion]

on 1.29?

[vestal cedar]

yup

[hidden lion]

hmm could it be thaat simple.

[vestal cedar]

I sure hope so

I wonder what could have changed between versions of Reloaded that could've caused this

[random hinge]

It sure seem like a good lead. Keep playing for now, in case it's just a coincidence. I'd also like someone else to try that before reporting the issue

[vestal cedar]

I will, I'll get back to you if there's any updates

[random hinge]

I've looked at the differences between the current version and version 1.29.2, but I'm not knowledgeable enough in the way it is coded to tell what's responsible

[hidden lion]

I mean what version we have now ?
1.30.1 was it ?

[vestal cedar]

yeah

[hidden lion]

I think I join at the late 1.29.4 or 5

[vestal cedar]

Update: my AOA sounds disappeared again in Futaba's palace...

[random hinge]

Alright, I'll see if I can test things more in depth myself

[molten finch]

Anyone here know if this needs to be on top or on bottom for Rose and Violet?

https://gamebanana.com/sounds/73174

[random hinge]

Above or below, it shouldn't matter since it's just the music that's edited

[molten finch]

Ahh okay and can you use both heartful cry special ver intro for pre-boss cutscene

And

heartful cry special ver for yoshizawa fight

When using Special Version or can be used only one?

Just want to make sure before installing it

[random hinge]

It looks like the "pre-battle" version was made as separate version so it can be optional

So you should be able to use the two together

[random hinge]

Was that your first AOA since you've launched the game?

[vestal cedar]

Don't think so?

I'll boot up the game again and do a quick AOA to test

[random hinge]

If you load a save inside a palace, you might not get the issue

[vestal cedar]

That's the annoying part

troubleshooting this is a pain in the ass

[random hinge]

I'm going to try loading a save outside a palace and go to a palace

[vestal cedar]

In the meantime, I'll try going outside the palace and then back in

[random hinge]

Alright, I have the issue

[vestal cedar]

It doesn't happend immediately, but after a while the sounds will disappear

While the log spams something relating to CRI

for some reason when I open the log in R2, those errors don't show there

[random hinge]

New theory : Custom Bonus Tweaks Combat BGM Enhancements is causing the issue with AOA sounds

I've noticed that the muting never happens with Take Over as a bgm

I've disabled the option and I can't get the muting to happen

I've also noticed that the ambush sound before the battle gets distorted

[vestal cedar]

I have CBT's BGM Enhancements disabled I believe

Yeah I do

[random hinge]

Do you have other battle bgm mods?

[vestal cedar]

For Randomized Battle Themes

[random hinge]

So it may not be CBT in particular

But modded battle bgm

Which coincides with what Ryo mentionned

[vestal cedar]

I don't want to get rid of RBT, I hate Take Over (I don't, but I hate that it's the only track that plays 95% of the time)

[granite wren]

Oh shoot you can do custom BGM for that fight now? Might see if I can do Saikai for it
500 more Mili songs for P5 🗣️

[ocean wolf]

I have ‘some holdup music’ would that count?

[vestal cedar]

I have "No Holdup Music" lmao

[molten finch]

Sorry for late reply had to go do some stuff irl and perfect and glad to know~

[vestal cedar]

I'll do some more testing later with either of the mods disabled

[molten finch]

Honestly Heartful Cry Special Version fits the Sumire Fight as Kasumi better than Blood in Villain and Blooming Villain lol

[granite wren]

Yeah I just didn't know you could do that fight specifically without replacing every instance of Blooming Villain

[molten finch]

Yeah I found that mod out and honestly that mod makes perfect sense for Rose & Violet there

And yeah it only replaces the music from Sumire's Fight~

[vestal cedar]

You could theoretically replace any unique battle BGM, no?

IIRC some music packs do that

[granite wren]

Yeah, but what surprised me is that the Sumire fight in vanilla isn't USUALLY unique BGM as it's just Blooming Villain

[molten finch]

Agreed with this as replacing it for Heartful Cry for Sumire's Fight fits the fight way better lol

And makes it unique

[random hinge]

I don't use that mod and I still got the sound cuting, so we can rule out this being an issue.
Overall, I don't think the issue is the hold-up. I remembered we had an issue with it a while back, but it's been solved. This is definitely not the same issue

I've reenabled the BGM and I can't get the issue to proc

Oh, it's going to be one of those bugs, isn't it

[vestal cedar]

Isn't it great?

While I'm here I did want to ask about something else

[granite wren]

The old classic "Works on my machine"

[vestal cedar]

Anastasie having Arsene's lore/description is just a conflict with Royal Heist, right?

[random hinge]

Probably, yes

[vestal cedar]

Nah this is more like "sometimes works on my machine and idk why"

[granite wren]

Royal Heist adds new personas iirc so if all the lore is in one file and it's editing the same thing then that'd track

[tacit schooner]

Im having my AOA sounds cutted out too, while i dont have enhanced bgm enabled in CBT, i have 3 mods that changes bgm aswell as both "some holdup" and "no holdup" music

[vestal cedar]

What BGM mods specifically?

[tacit schooner]

One which changes Yaldabaoth for Battle for Everyone souls, other that changes both Take over and Last surprice for Pull the Trigger and other which changes alot of tracks for the game, i think the name is "p5r soundtrack revamp"

(Dont really know if the first two are in the gamebanana, i downloaded those from there a really while ago)

[vestal cedar]

I'm curious, have you checked the console when audio starts disappearing? Mine spams the same error whenever it happens and when I try to close the game afterwards, it hangs spamming an error over and over

[tacit schooner]

Tho, ive been using those 2 for a while and this problem only started happening in my last playthrough which i started this week, havent touched p5r in 4 months or so

[random hinge]

Nothing in the console for me

[vestal cedar]

[random hinge]

BGME Framework hasn't been updated since July 2025 so we can rule out an issue with it

[hidden lion]

Yes it is.

Well technically it's fine if u enable violet persona
It will have their description but any custom persona from royal heist don't have description

[vestal cedar]

Not a big deal, not like I'm looking at it constantly

[hidden lion]

Tru.
But still anything else it should work on heist even if you enable it

Still be useable just ya kno

[random hinge]

Just to check again: some of you have been having this issue for a while, yes? At least since 2025?

[tacit schooner]

Yes, but it has become more common just recently
Rn, like 2/3 times i do an AOA the audio breaks

[hidden lion]

Yea since 2nd playthrough of KaP/R&V around September/November

[vestal cedar]

I only started having this issue when I built my modlist around R&V, which was about a week ago

My other modlist I used for 100% only had CBT's BGM stuff for music and that one never had the issue

[random hinge]

OK, I'll test more things tomorrow since it's getting late for me

[vestal cedar]

I'm doing a test with no BGM mods on

[random hinge]

I've noticed that P5REssentials was updated 3 weeks ago to fix issues with replacing sounds because of CPK names. It might be worth downgrading it for a test

That might not be it since the issue has been happening since last year

The other thing I'm considering testing is disabling all of the KaP/R&V stuff

Just test with Joker and the CBT BGM stuff

(I'm making a note of that stuff here so I can continue testing tomorrow)
