how did you translate the table for the fashion thing?

#

surely it wasn't one row at a time, right?

random hornet Nov 29, 2025, 2:29 AM

#

nah i pasted in in chunks into deepL

restive basalt Nov 29, 2025, 2:30 AM

#

oof
this file is so big too
well I at least know to look for n_mingshilei to find his dialogue

#

time to translate one like at a time

#

for the confidant dialogue

random hornet Nov 29, 2025, 2:46 AM

#

thats weird, i dont see assets for the new soy for the update screen

restive basalt Nov 29, 2025, 2:49 AM

#

p5x-theories on tumblr was struggling to find new soy's textures, alt madrin, and myrmecoleon (||Shimotsuna's|| monstrous form, second battle phase)
we both found the model for the first battle phase

random hornet Nov 29, 2025, 2:54 AM

#

see if this helps at all

📎 ConfCharacterModel.csv

restive basalt Nov 29, 2025, 3:00 AM

#

from the flow of conversation during the first time his model is mentioned in the config, it appears he appeared in a prior rank
but he was listed as AAAAA== because he hadn't introduced himself

restive basalt Nov 29, 2025, 3:06 AM

#

random hornet see if this helps at all

hmmm...i'm not sure what to look for
because we both looked under what would make the most sense. 'm_' would be a given, but nothing

#

it also isn't under her id name. her first phase is, but not the seconds

random hornet Nov 29, 2025, 3:07 AM

#

hm, im gonna try diffing it with last version and give u the list of new models

restive basalt Nov 29, 2025, 3:07 AM

#

it also wasn't under 'sd_'

#

myrmecoleon is from the chapter 4 finale update, which was the day before yesterday i believe

random hornet Nov 29, 2025, 3:11 AM

#

have u looked at all these

m_BangHe_01.prefab
m_BangHe_02.prefab
m_macabre.prefab
m_xiajinming_yishi.prefab
m_xiajinming_yishi_shimo_01.prefab
m_xiajinming_yishi_shimo_02.prefab
m_xiajinming_yishi_shimo_03.prefab
m_xiajinming_yishi_shimo_04.prefab

restive basalt Nov 29, 2025, 3:31 AM

#

I have not, but I will look

#

it's so weird because both of us looked up 'm_' but didn't see any of those

restive basalt Nov 29, 2025, 3:48 AM

#

banghe is the false okumura

#

#

weird

#

i'm not seeing the shimotsuna entries in the bundles

#

what bundle(s) is the m_xiajinming_yishi in?

lofty wolf Nov 29, 2025, 5:56 AM

#

Hello?

#

I'm gonna ask again, does anyone have a download to all of Luce's models?

#

Or all the models in general?

oh, wow
Rui actually has his own animator
i legit figured they'd just reuse Akashi's

restive basalt Nov 29, 2025, 7:42 AM

#

I'M SOBBING THEY LITERALLY DIDN'T DO ANYTHING DIFFERENT FOR RUI'S FACE LMAO
IT STILL HAS ALL THE AKASHI SHAPE KEYS

So no specific download for the models just yet

#

This may sound lazy but I'm not willing to go through the exporting process myself

restive basalt Nov 29, 2025, 9:55 AM

#

You have to do it yourself
If you're really desperate for the models, Xelandis on deviantart has been uploading rigged p5x models. Luce has not been ripped and uploaded yet, but he's definitely on the list, seeing as Xelandis intends to rip all the major characters

restive basalt Nov 29, 2025, 9:55 AM

#

lofty wolf This may sound lazy but I'm not willing to go through the exporting process myse...

Then I guess no Luce in the meantime

#

I don't want to sound mean when I say this, but you shouldn't expect others to rip a bunch of models for you. There have been some downloads posted her in chat, yes, but that was because some of us were struggling to find and get ahold of a character or were saving time by sharing it. By learning the process, lazy or not, you can have any model you want without having to cross your fingers and hope somebody will post a download

#

I understand it can be a bit tedious, but your only choices are to learn the process or wait around until Xelandis uploads (he's been slacking a bit lately tho)

random hornet Nov 29, 2025, 5:47 PM

#

oh wait is the 5* soy not out yet

restive basalt Nov 29, 2025, 5:58 PM

#

Wdym
His model is in the files

#

He was in the chapter 4 finale with the 5* Luce

random hornet Nov 29, 2025, 6:03 PM

#

his model is

#

but a lot of data related to him as a party member is missing or wrong

#

like his thief entry says his model is still just soy instead of soy_sp_thief

restive basalt Nov 29, 2025, 6:28 PM

#

Weird

#

Yeah my friend couldn't find his textures

#

And couldn't find myrmecoleon AT ALL

#

Yet found the first phase of battle
Though that model seemed to be missing its pedestal

#

They searched both bin and outerpackage

random hornet Nov 29, 2025, 7:01 PM

#

restive basalt And couldn't find myrmecoleon AT ALL

is his persona actually in the game tho?

#

like is it visible

#

because i dont see any new persona models besides ps_ghino_sp which is luce's

restive basalt Nov 29, 2025, 7:34 PM

#

random hornet like is it visible

yes

#

in the finale i believe you're forced to put luce and soy on your team so they are there

#

and iirc you see the personas in a cutscene? but there were definitely in the boss battle

#

my friend was also struggling to find the new Mandrin

random hornet Nov 29, 2025, 7:43 PM

#

i dont see footage of the new soy actually showing in battle

#

he talks and i can find his portrait

#

#

but it seems like soys persona only shows in a prerendered cutscene if at all

#

and for the actual fight you only get the 5* luce not soy

restive basalt Nov 29, 2025, 8:08 PM

#

huh
hm
then that makes no sense
my friend found his model

random hornet Nov 29, 2025, 8:10 PM

#

soy's model is there

#

but not his persona

restive basalt Nov 29, 2025, 8:10 PM

#

yeah, that's what they were struggling to find

#

along with 2d assets

random hornet Nov 29, 2025, 8:10 PM

#

yeah i didnt see any images besides the dialog portraits

restive basalt Nov 29, 2025, 8:13 PM

#

hmmm
i guess we'll get him a bit later down the line

#

likely 2 weeks from now? let me double check

#

random hornet Nov 29, 2025, 8:17 PM

#

oh what is the name ppl are calling new luce variant? i think the cn name translates literally to eternal night

restive basalt Nov 29, 2025, 8:17 PM

#

i've seen eternal night but also just 'night'

#

i believe officially it's called notte

#

uhh, there's 'night', 'eternal night', 'notte eterna', 'notte nocturne'
so it's really just pick what you want

#

but Notte seems to be the official name

I understand. I thought it would be an archive for everyone here.

restive basalt Nov 30, 2025, 3:06 AM

#

just learned that Chibo is Ikenami/Shoki
I'm too curious to wait for YT, so i'm watching the synergy on bilibili and his name is sometimes translated by google as 'chibo'

#

restive basalt Nov 30, 2025, 3:59 AM

#

ah, Shoki finally said Rui's name out loud
It's definitely Rui

random hornet Nov 30, 2025, 8:05 PM

#

also this update added the noir maid outfit to the files

#

idk if its available yet tho

random hornet Nov 30, 2025, 8:28 PM

#

actually it seems like its not in the files just the model table

restive basalt Dec 1, 2025, 12:32 AM

#

Interesting
Now if only i could get ahold of myrmecoleon
Like
Why is not in the files, I updated the game

restive basalt Dec 1, 2025, 12:48 AM

#

They probably do the add to the table in advance to save time, ig

random hornet Dec 1, 2025, 1:57 AM

#

do yk its internal name or anything

#

also have you looked at these yet

m_xiajinming_yishi.prefab
m_xiajinming_yishi_shimo_01.prefab
m_xiajinming_yishi_shimo_02.prefab
m_xiajinming_yishi_shimo_03.prefab
m_xiajinming_yishi_shimo_04.prefab

#

because it does seem like what you're looking for given its image (every model has an image entry, used for their turn in the turn rotation)

#

look into these bundles

└─ role_6bc91310.bundle
   ├─ anim_playable4aae23d5.bundle

YES THAT
The issue is in asset studio, those models weren't showing up when I searched

random hornet Dec 1, 2025, 2:24 AM

#

the shimo models seem to be like, accessories or somn

#

like one was a bow

restive basalt Dec 1, 2025, 2:24 AM

#

Yeah

#

Cause it has a bow

#

#

those bundles aren't even in the folders/files

#

i'll open p5x and see if i maybe missed something

random hornet Dec 1, 2025, 3:49 AM

#

oh yeah make sure u downloaded the new palace assets

#

its a seperate download in the menu

#

or just open the game and hit the download all button in the top right

restive basalt Dec 1, 2025, 3:53 AM

#

Had to reinstall the game since I kept getting in a loading loop

random hornet Dec 1, 2025, 3:53 AM

#

thats odd

#

getting stuck on the "take your time" screen means that its struggling to connect to the onesdk servers i think

restive basalt Dec 1, 2025, 3:54 AM

#

It's just bizarre because ||shimotsuna's|| first stage was in the files, but not the second

random hornet Dec 1, 2025, 4:11 AM

#

i see i see

restive basalt Dec 1, 2025, 4:35 AM

#

Yes, that monster

#

That wasn't in the files but this one was

#

But i'm just reinstalling P5X and re-dumping it

#

Do you know what other features you're gonna add to your still WIP application? MakotoThink

random hornet Dec 1, 2025, 5:40 AM

#

it seems like some chars load a different hair mesh when they have their mask on

#

mainly fox

#

which is interesting

#

fox swaps to a model with his bangs shrunken so they dont clip with his mask

zinc dirge Dec 1, 2025, 5:46 AM

#

Yes I see it cuz my PC takes years to load so I can see his hair clips through the mask for a bit before it switches

restive basalt Dec 1, 2025, 5:54 AM

looks like that fresh install fixed things

it also doesnt help that p5x's asset system is complete buns

#

your hdd has to work overdrive just to load a png

random hornet Dec 1, 2025, 6:32 PM

#

my tools biggest issue

#

i hate garbage collection :(

fringe kite Dec 1, 2025, 6:48 PM

#

random hornet my tools biggest issue

is it really a unity tool if it doesnt destroy your memory

random hornet Dec 1, 2025, 6:50 PM

#

well im at a bit of an impasse. its the fault of my caching system, but removing it makes things take longer to load as it sometimes unloads a bundle and then a little bit after needs it again

random hornet Dec 1, 2025, 7:11 PM

#

i hadnt seen this yet lmao (ch4 stuff)

spiral pendant Dec 1, 2025, 7:33 PM

#

That silhouette just makes me think of the little alien guys from Toy Story

random hornet Dec 1, 2025, 8:42 PM

#

random hornet it also doesnt help that p5x's asset system is complete buns

its partially unitys assetbundles sucking but also i doubt unity's asset bundle system was made with a game with almost 30,000 bundles in mind

spiral pendant Dec 1, 2025, 8:45 PM

#

I'd imagine not, especially not with the game using a Unity version from what, 2022?

random hornet Dec 1, 2025, 8:46 PM

#

yeah, 2022.3.49f1

spiral pendant Dec 1, 2025, 8:49 PM

#

it's definitely pretty obscene regardless though

#

most other Unity games I remember looking at had like, maybe 100~ bundles in total lol

restive basalt Dec 1, 2025, 9:03 PM

#

random hornet i hadnt seen this yet lmao (ch4 stuff)

there's a couple points where you have to get transformed ||into ants in order to access certain areas or complete certain puzzles||

#

there's models in the files of the PT like this

random hornet Dec 1, 2025, 9:56 PM

#

i looked into the GM menu more and it seems like when you do the key combo "Ctrl + G + M" it checks if the file "kramtset.kramtset" exists in OuterPackage, and if it does opens the menu

#

this menu is mostly useless as a player though as its just features that require a server flag anyway

#

and i wouldnt recommend trying when logged in or anything like tht. although the menu also is pretty useless when not logged in, so.

#

also it does seem like the wonder_||thief_igor|| model uses the wonder_thief skeleton rather than its own

#

oh wait some of howlers assets are in global? thats interesting

#

like this is from global

zinc dirge Dec 1, 2025, 11:48 PM

#

So like how difficult would it be to find some efxs specifically for guns

random hornet Dec 2, 2025, 12:01 AM

#

holy crap

zinc dirge Dec 2, 2025, 12:02 AM

#

Holy shit

#

Is that the same for Bui? That's who I'm looking for

random hornet Dec 2, 2025, 12:05 AM

#

bui has relatively few, but still a lot

#

333 bundles

zinc dirge Dec 2, 2025, 12:05 AM

#

Wth that's so many

random hornet Dec 2, 2025, 12:06 AM

#

but yeah the particle systems themselves are in efx_bui39438b18.bundle

zinc dirge Dec 2, 2025, 12:06 AM

#

So it's TL_bui_gun_fire.prefab

random hornet Dec 2, 2025, 12:06 AM

#

but it also has all the skill particles

#

but any textures and models and such might be in a shared bundle

random hornet Dec 2, 2025, 12:07 AM

#

zinc dirge So it's TL_bui_gun_fire.prefab

yeah theres 2 timelines, TL_bui_gun_fire.prefab and TL_bui_gun_hit.prefab but they're both in the efx bundle

it still does it in a suboptimal way tbh

searching for unityfs is a wasteful way to get the obfus offset

restive basalt Dec 2, 2025, 12:14 AM

#

well, with this it doesn't overwrite the files but eh

#

your tool is still a wip

#

it's also an application now instead of a pyton script

zinc dirge Dec 2, 2025, 12:18 AM

@random hornet Buis persona have water in it's tanks I take it that it's a shader yeah?

random hornet Dec 2, 2025, 12:21 AM

restive basalt it's also an application now instead of a pyton script

well its still a python script

just in an exe wrapper

zinc dirge Dec 2, 2025, 12:29 AM

Can someone send me P5_glow_lx_comte_skill_4001_002 I don't have it for some reason

random hornet Dec 2, 2025, 12:31 AM

#

its in shared_350b21cb.bundle

zinc dirge Dec 2, 2025, 12:32 AM

#

when I did the extracting it gave me a blank versions of that bundle

random hornet Dec 2, 2025, 12:33 AM

wait are you looking for the material?

zinc dirge Dec 2, 2025, 12:33 AM

#

no

random hornet Dec 2, 2025, 12:33 AM

#

also can you try redownloading the latest version of the python script

zinc dirge Dec 2, 2025, 12:33 AM

#

I'm looking for the texture

#

same with 001

random hornet Dec 2, 2025, 12:34 AM

#

wait i didnt push the latest script oops

#

try downloading now and extracting

zinc dirge Dec 2, 2025, 12:36 AM

#

is shared_350b21cb.bundle supposed to just be blank in asset studio?

random hornet Dec 2, 2025, 12:36 AM

#

no it has assets

#

are you extracting global or cn btw

zinc dirge Dec 2, 2025, 12:37 AM

#

TW

random hornet Dec 2, 2025, 12:37 AM

#

yeah redownload the script https://github.com/aaronlink127/P5X_Research/blob/main/P5XUtils.py and try extracting again

#

OHH also

#

assetstudio doesnt show materials by default

zinc dirge Dec 2, 2025, 12:38 AM

#

it's also just blank in the P5X files

random hornet Dec 2, 2025, 12:38 AM

#

enable this

#

and then open it in assetstudio

#

zinc dirge Dec 2, 2025, 12:39 AM

#

Okay I'm looking for the texture for it tho

#

not the mat

random hornet Dec 2, 2025, 12:40 AM

#

well its prob in a dependency

zinc dirge Dec 2, 2025, 12:41 AM

#

true I didn't even think to look

random hornet Dec 2, 2025, 12:41 AM

#

altho all ic are 2 textures

zinc dirge Dec 2, 2025, 12:42 AM

#

Wait so it just uses the glow texture?

random hornet Dec 2, 2025, 12:44 AM

#

it would seem

zinc dirge Dec 2, 2025, 12:46 AM

#

Yup it is

#

okay welp that just opened the gates for rebuilding the efxs lol

random hornet Dec 2, 2025, 12:52 AM

#

does assetripper give a working prefab?

zinc dirge Dec 2, 2025, 12:52 AM

#

Yup

#

I can import the efx into unity and fix the materials

zinc dirge Dec 2, 2025, 1:24 AM

#

well i have a issue

random hornet Dec 2, 2025, 1:28 AM

#

with what

zinc dirge Dec 2, 2025, 1:31 AM

#

So i think i need a specific shader for this one as it doesn't have alpha to it so in the particles it includes the black part as well

random hornet Dec 2, 2025, 1:34 AM

#

maybe you could edit the image

zinc dirge Dec 2, 2025, 1:34 AM

#

maybe but idk how

random hornet Dec 2, 2025, 1:36 AM

#

#

i assume the sprite sheet part just works then ?

zinc dirge Dec 2, 2025, 1:48 AM

#

Yeah

#

next problem when she fires the gun there's a tringle pattern that fades through but I can't get that to happen on my end think it's a shader or something?

#

#

for me it's just a plane

random hornet Dec 2, 2025, 1:55 AM

#

oh i saw a texture related to that

#

im not sure how they do it tho

zinc dirge Dec 2, 2025, 1:56 AM

#

do you know where it is?

random hornet Dec 2, 2025, 1:59 AM

#

oh it was this i saw

zinc dirge Dec 2, 2025, 2:00 AM

#

ah no I have that

zinc dirge Dec 2, 2025, 2:16 AM

not in a seperate bundle anymore

zinc dirge Dec 2, 2025, 8:06 PM

#

Than why does it call that bundle?

random hornet Dec 2, 2025, 8:06 PM

#

#

it doesnt

#

at least in the CN version

zinc dirge Dec 2, 2025, 8:06 PM

#

I see

#

Welp I'm missing some mats and idk why they are missing

random hornet Dec 2, 2025, 8:09 PM

#

btw has TW gotten the update yet that moves everything out of bin?

#

like how in CN the bin folder is very small

zinc dirge Dec 2, 2025, 8:11 PM

#

Yeah I believe so but I haven't updated it myself

restive basalt Dec 2, 2025, 8:40 PM

#

random hornet btw has TW gotten the update yet that moves everything out of bin?

TW gets updates 1 week after CN
I believe new client was added on Fuuka patch
So it definitely is the new client

random hornet Dec 2, 2025, 8:40 PM

#

new client was fuka patch but it was a bit after

#

like they released the fuuka patch and then a few weeks later released the client update

restive basalt Dec 2, 2025, 8:41 PM

#

Patches in all the regions except global, sea, and jp last 3 weeks long

random hornet Dec 2, 2025, 8:41 PM

#

well yeah but the client patch wasnt a normal patch

#

it didnt even increment the version number or the resversion

#

the res version was still just 11/6/2024

restive basalt Dec 2, 2025, 8:43 PM

#

Interesting

random hornet Dec 2, 2025, 8:44 PM

#

oh the client update was 11/19/2024

random hornet Dec 2, 2025, 10:11 PM

#

oh also something i noticd with the p3r character dialog sprites is they use common-none so they have no filter at all

#

also theres a unique effect just for fuuka

random hornet Dec 2, 2025, 10:41 PM

#

also many things internally refer to the global version as just the "JP version" which is interesting

zinc dirge Dec 2, 2025, 10:44 PM

#

Makes sense

#

They did say en would be built off jp

#

Instead of CN

random hornet Dec 2, 2025, 10:47 PM

#

im assuming they were making a JP version and sega of america offered to translate

zinc dirge Dec 2, 2025, 10:52 PM

i just picked one for a test

#

but does work for other matcaps

zinc dirge Dec 3, 2025, 8:38 PM

#

I'm just wondering cuz when I export I almost always get that matcap so I was wondering if it was actually used for something

random hornet Dec 3, 2025, 8:40 PM

#

im not sure

#

i just know its in a bundle required by program_mat.bundle

zinc dirge Dec 3, 2025, 8:49 PM

#

Probably just the default matcap

random hornet Dec 3, 2025, 8:52 PM

#

nah probably not

zinc dirge Dec 3, 2025, 8:54 PM

#

Idk it's my guess that the reason why Roy's weapon and that matcap are default textures than its changed or turned off when needed/not

random hornet Dec 3, 2025, 8:54 PM

#

well it seems to be part of the cake stickers

#

yeah its used by these bs_cake_sticker materials

#

which makes sense because this matcap does not exist in global

zinc dirge Dec 3, 2025, 8:58 PM

#

Interesting than why does it export with every character

random hornet Dec 3, 2025, 8:58 PM

#

because the material is in program_mat which is a bundle a lot of characters depend on

zinc dirge Dec 3, 2025, 8:59 PM

#

That makes sense

restive basalt Dec 3, 2025, 9:05 PM

i think the only cake in the game is the cake for the anniversary?

Btw aaron, are you ever gonna release the tool you're making? Or are you just trying to work some kinks out

What tool? I'm curious now

yeah working on kinks mostly

#

oh i fixed the memory hog issue

lunar sparrow Dec 4, 2025, 4:03 PM

just wondering.
will Tool be used for modding or just only extracting models?

#

Btw, I made some mods for Phantom X.

random hornet Dec 4, 2025, 4:03 PM

#

just extracting stuff like sprites or bundles

#

it has model preview but not model extraction

lunar sparrow Dec 4, 2025, 4:03 PM

#

okay, understand.

random hornet Dec 4, 2025, 4:04 PM

#

because i still recommend assetripper as it would give the most data including anims

random hornet Dec 4, 2025, 4:04 PM

#

lunar sparrow Btw, I made some mods for Phantom X.

in what way?

#

3d migoto or actually modding the bundles

random hornet Dec 4, 2025, 4:05 PM

#

random hornet it has model preview but not model extraction

the preview doesnt have textures tho

lunar sparrow Dec 4, 2025, 4:06 PM

#

random hornet 3d migoto or actually modding the bundles

3dmigoto

random hornet Dec 4, 2025, 4:06 PM

ah

yeah i did some portrait mods with 3dmigoto

#

replaced morgana's portraits with p5r ones

Can I have that mod, please?

zinc dirge Dec 5, 2025, 11:22 PM

Looks right to me

random hornet Dec 5, 2025, 11:25 PM

i just realized morganas meshes refer as c0003 which is his model id in p5r

#

of all the models his is probably the closest to a direct port

zinc dirge Dec 5, 2025, 11:26 PM

#

I didn't think he was changed much

random hornet Dec 5, 2025, 11:27 PM

#

global has more of these direct ports

#

like crow_uniform refers to c0009 which is, again, his id in p5r

#

all the models were redone in cn though and dont have these references

random hornet Dec 5, 2025, 11:40 PM

#

random hornet huh...

oh its uv wrapping being off

Sumire's still have the "uzuki" name on them

spiral pendant Dec 6, 2025, 4:43 AM

#

@random hornet are there any problems with using your script stuff to import/export personas? I just ask because they don't have the whole fashion stuff (at least it doesn't in Unity)

random hornet Dec 6, 2025, 4:43 AM

#

personas shouldnt require the script

#

they dont use the fashion system

spiral pendant Dec 6, 2025, 4:44 AM

#

so can they just be exported through AssetStudio then?

random hornet Dec 6, 2025, 4:45 AM

#

yeah

#

assuming all the bundles are loaded, technically theres no guarantee the mesh is in the same bundle as the main prefab

spiral pendant Dec 6, 2025, 4:47 AM

#

thankfully, it was in this case

#

speaking of, does anyone know what this thing in the export options of AssetStudio is for?

#

trying to figure out why Riko's animations turned out so wobbly (and am hoping that if I manage to fix that, it'll stop her from sliding in-game xd)

random hornet Dec 6, 2025, 4:50 AM

#

what part

#

for me even in the unity editor the legs are wonky on most chars

#

i think the game uses IK for the legs that overrides what the animation does

spiral pendant Dec 6, 2025, 4:53 AM

#

hm, looking at hers in Unity again it doesn't really look wobbly to me

#

random hornet Dec 6, 2025, 5:03 AM

#

thats odd

zinc dirge Dec 6, 2025, 5:05 AM

#

I have the same issue

#

The feet aren't stationary they're kind of wobble around

random hornet Dec 6, 2025, 5:05 AM

#

oh when you exported from asset studio did you have cast all to bones turned on

zinc dirge Dec 6, 2025, 5:06 AM

#

Maybe?

spiral pendant Dec 6, 2025, 5:08 AM

#

if you're referring to All nodes cast to bone then I'm not really sure actually. if that's the one we turned off to stop all the empties from showing up in Blender then probably not

random hornet Dec 6, 2025, 5:09 AM

#

im wondering because maybe some motion in higher bones got lost

#

because most of the rigs in this game dont have the root bone of the mesh the actual root bone

spiral pendant Dec 6, 2025, 5:11 AM

#

oh wait, that was the one that has to be turned on for the empties to not show

#

okay then I definitely had it on

zinc dirge Dec 6, 2025, 5:13 AM

#

Should it be on or off?

random hornet Dec 6, 2025, 5:13 AM

#

on for character models

zinc dirge Dec 6, 2025, 5:14 AM

#

HM than any idea on how to fix wobbly animations?

restive basalt Dec 6, 2025, 5:21 AM

#

random hornet i think the game uses IK for the legs that overrides what the animation does

That would definitely add up, seeing as i see IK used the most in legs with models that have such
And that IK can be spotted in the name of one or couple of the assets in a model directory (bone tree? Idk what it's called) inside Unity

random hornet Dec 6, 2025, 5:22 AM

#

some characters like makoto yuki have particularly abhorrent leg animations in editor

#

for some reason they look better in blender but i think that unity editor does something weird with skinned models in editor

#

they update at a lower framerate and dont update at all if the editor is out of focus

restive basalt Dec 6, 2025, 5:26 AM

#

If anyone has abhorrent legs, it's Shun -

zinc dirge Dec 6, 2025, 5:47 AM

spiral pendant Dec 6, 2025, 6:20 AM

#

alright I tried a number of different things and they still wobble, so I guess it's something I'm just gonna have to deal with xd

#

hopefully I can at least fix her sliding because that's a bit of an issue

spiral pendant Dec 6, 2025, 10:35 AM

#

just once, can something just work dark

restive basalt Dec 9, 2025, 9:29 AM

#

I low-key find it silly that Masaki's school shoes used the texture for Wonder's school shoes 😭
Couldn't they have incorporated the shoe texture into the main one??? It's so silly and feels unnecessary

#

Maybe one day I'll challenge myself by putting Masaki over Yusuke
He seems more fitting than my boy Seiji, aesthetically and personality wise

spiral pendant Dec 9, 2025, 2:04 PM

#

so is guaidaojiemian used for something other than the Thieves menu? because google translate is telling me that means Phantom Thief Interface, but these don't look like the same animations to me

restive basalt Dec 9, 2025, 6:12 PM

#

Wait for something like that i figured they'd just use their ps_ model

spiral pendant Dec 9, 2025, 6:18 PM

#

what do you mean?

zinc dirge Dec 9, 2025, 6:20 PM

#

restive basalt Wait for something like that i figured they'd just use their ps_ model

It's an animation not a different model

restive basalt Dec 9, 2025, 6:20 PM

#

Ahhh

#

I was gonna say a duplicate model makes so sense

zinc dirge Dec 9, 2025, 6:21 PM

#

spiral pendant what do you mean?

Could it be the fight animation?

spiral pendant Dec 9, 2025, 6:23 PM

#

it already has one called "fight" and it's what's used for the persona skills menu, so no

#

unless you're talking about something else

zinc dirge Dec 9, 2025, 6:24 PM

#

I just meant for whatever reason they used the fight animation for that menu instead of what's supposed to be used

spiral pendant Dec 9, 2025, 6:26 PM

#

no, that is the only animation similar to that I could find

#

the fight animation is completely different

#

ofc, maybe I just missed this one because Unity is super jank when it comes to exporting animations

zinc dirge Dec 9, 2025, 6:30 PM

#

This is true sometimes it just doesn't export some

spiral pendant Dec 9, 2025, 6:33 PM

#

more than just some from my experience lol

#

as far as I can tell, you have to actually drag the animationclips onto the model when it's imported in the scene to get them to export together

#

and a lot of the times it just refuses

zinc dirge Dec 9, 2025, 6:35 PM

#

After I export it from unity I'll import it with the animation bundle in asset studios than export animator with animations

spiral pendant Dec 9, 2025, 6:38 PM

#

huh

#

okay so I just tried dragging them over the model in the viewport instead of in the hierarchy and that seemed to work better

#

I'm so ready to be done with Unity lol

Its been in there for quite a while
I just don't remember seeing a jq model in the files the last few times I checked

Maybe it will be used, maybe it won't

#

Also
I think you mentioned the overworld emotes being 2d
In Royal and OG they're 3d planes but i only have gotten a few rendered
Do you think you could grab those or point me in the direction as to what and where to look (like if they have a naming convention)

random hornet Dec 13, 2025, 4:33 AM

i was just searching my pc for wonder textures and i somehow accidentally mispelled it in the same way the devs did

restive basalt Dec 13, 2025, 5:20 AM

Unifom lol

#

@torn kindle remember when you were looking for Closer while p5x was still in beta

torn kindle Dec 13, 2025, 10:41 AM

omfg yeah

restive basalt That wasn't in the files but this one was

Coming back to this
I didn't ever find the pile of ants she rests upon
Do you think they're just under a different name?

zinc dirge Dec 16, 2025, 7:36 AM

#

Does Chord have a story animation

#

Like a story_stand to be specific

zinc dirge Dec 16, 2025, 6:48 PM

#

@random hornet I can't remember but Thief_face_BS aren't supposed to actually have blendshapes or is my stuff messed up?

random hornet Dec 16, 2025, 6:48 PM

#

it should have blendshapes

zinc dirge Dec 16, 2025, 6:49 PM

#

Okay so Chords thief face BS does not have blendshapes for me

random hornet Dec 16, 2025, 6:51 PM

#

hm

#

oh it doesnt seem to

#

the bs face and normal face are the exact same mesh

zinc dirge Dec 16, 2025, 6:54 PM

#

Okay and I can't use the NPC version so I'm going to have to make blendshapes for her than

random hornet Dec 16, 2025, 6:56 PM

#

ok yeah i checked in thieves den

#

she just doesnt have facial animation as an NPC because her missing blendshapes

#

okyann doesnt seem to have them either

zinc dirge Dec 16, 2025, 6:57 PM

#

I think I can attach her NPC face to the thieves rig but chord doesn't work

random hornet Dec 16, 2025, 6:58 PM

#

wdym

zinc dirge Dec 16, 2025, 7:00 PM

#

What I have been doing is using their uniform face with the thief rig but chords guitar girl face doesn't work with the thief rig

restive basalt Dec 16, 2025, 7:17 PM

#

By npc face, i assume you mean her face from the beta model
I'd advise against it, but that's just me
I played with two kokatsu students the other day (specifically the ones used in that stupid hairspray and lighter scene) and they only had shape keys for the vowels and a blink
Well, one of them had a blink
If you're just looking for mouth ones, that should work
But otherwise idk

#

I haven't personally checked out the beta model, but i have it courtesy of Morty

wasn't her synergy model updated?

#

its still called n_GuitarGirl

restive basalt Dec 16, 2025, 7:35 PM

#

she was called GuitarGirl in the beta as well but it's been a while since i've looked at Chord

#

i assume they didn't change her ID since it was too much effort lmao

zinc dirge Dec 16, 2025, 8:45 PM

#

Can someone look and see what texture goes into p5_weapon_05_R_WQ1 and Material p5_weapon_04_R_WQ1tga

random hornet Dec 16, 2025, 10:32 PM

#

tf? there seems to be a file in CN called ZeusCustomAssetDep.json which is a gigantic json file that lists the bundle and deps of almost every asset

#

#

it seems like its not used by the game maybe an accidental inclusion?

zinc dirge Dec 16, 2025, 10:55 PM

#

Weird it's used in the Bui weapon particles

zinc dirge Dec 16, 2025, 11:16 PM

#

@random hornet for any missing materials is it possible to see what material is missing or am I just gonna have to try and guess?

random hornet Dec 16, 2025, 11:18 PM

#

it should be in one of the dependency bundles

zinc dirge Dec 16, 2025, 11:19 PM

#

Whatever reason Particles don't give me everything

#

I'm either not doing it right or I'm still getting blank bundles and not noticing

I'm assuming it's named something that i wouldn't get under sd_ or m_ or the ruler's ID

Idk how the hell i missed that
Just in case, what's the bundle

random hornet Dec 17, 2025, 8:52 AM

role_398371ac.bundle

restive basalt Dec 17, 2025, 8:55 AM

Thanks 👍

restive basalt Dec 17, 2025, 8:36 PM

#

@random hornet i found sonething interesting
So the other day i streamed P5X for my friend (part 2 of chapter 3) and asked about those banners outside of the room katayama is in
So i finally looked up in the textures and interestingly enough, only texture for the burnt banners (in the boss room) are there

#

I even looked under sb_, to no avail
How curious

#

I wonder if it's in sprite instead of texture2d

#

Although i find that unlikely

zinc dirge Dec 17, 2025, 8:54 PM

#

Probably some sort of cutout or fade

restive basalt Dec 17, 2025, 9:57 PM

#

zinc dirge Probably some sort of cutout or fade

For the burnt banners? If so, then likely
The game show them getting burnt to that state

#

But the full versions should be somewhere

#

I can't find it in my Taiwan dump (from the second summer event update)

restive basalt Dec 21, 2025, 1:26 AM

#

@random hornet do you know if there's something up with Seiji's model
it's all levels of wonked up

#

both of them

#

his model imports with his face and face bones on the floor and he's missing 99.9% of his face bones and imports with no shape keys (bs was used)

#

📎 comte_thief.fbx

#

i've tried exporting straight from unity as well, same results
Edit: It looks like his face is just that way™
nothing a transplant of his uniform face can't fix

restive basalt Dec 24, 2025, 7:16 PM

#

@random hornet @zinc dirge a friend of mine extracted all the particles related to Akashi's shadow before CN switched over to the new unity version (long before localization happened)
But he said that ever since then he hasn't been able to rip particles from the game
I want to port shadow Akashi with his particles, but there's a chance my friend doesn't have the particle files anymore
How could I get the particles exported correctly?

A little extra teehee

What particles are you looking for in particular

restive basalt Dec 24, 2025, 7:23 PM

#

Shadow akashi's
Like his jetpack, the stufd on his weapons, the glow on the battery on his chest plate, when he shoots from the weapon on his left hand, etc

#

God I wish I had screenshots of the meshmod of shadow akashi my friend was in yesterday

#

But i was too mesmerized and in awe

zinc dirge Dec 24, 2025, 7:24 PM

#

Idk if his weapon naming is the same as party members

#

Give me a sec to turn on my PC

restive basalt Dec 24, 2025, 7:25 PM

#

naothumbsup

zinc dirge Dec 24, 2025, 7:33 PM

#

Okay so for Bui it's "bui_weapon_05_wholeexport_rig_01_2.prefab" for the weapon particles idk what his file naming will be tho but it might be a start

zinc dirge Dec 24, 2025, 7:38 PM

#

restive basalt <:naothumbsup:1023355325136511036>

What's his naming in the files?

restive basalt Dec 24, 2025, 7:38 PM

#

Mingshi

#

with the capital M

#

but assetstudio doesn't really care for that, as long as it's correctly spelled

zinc dirge Dec 24, 2025, 7:39 PM

#

Does he have a thing at the beginning like ps_

random hornet Dec 24, 2025, 7:43 PM

#

zinc dirge Does he have a thing at the beginning like ps_

sd_Mingshi

#

but yeah theres not a weapon prefab i dont think

zinc dirge Dec 24, 2025, 7:43 PM

#

Yeah just checked

#

He doesn't have one

zinc dirge Dec 24, 2025, 7:45 PM

#

random hornet sd_Mingshi

You might have better luck finding his particles

random hornet Dec 24, 2025, 7:46 PM

#

wait no his shadow isnt capitalized

#

just sd_mingshi

#

unity isnt case sensitive but p5x asset system is

#

which is annoying

restive basalt Dec 24, 2025, 7:49 PM

#

interesting
idk how my friend found all of them then

#

i want to see if i can find them in the happenstance that he doesn't have them anymore

random hornet Dec 24, 2025, 7:49 PM

#

have you checked the sd_mingshi.prefab

#

maybe the particles are in there

restive basalt Dec 24, 2025, 7:50 PM

#

he's (my friend) been having trouble ripping particles since they upgraded the unity version but yeah

restive basalt Dec 24, 2025, 7:50 PM

#

random hornet have you checked the sd_mingshi.prefab

would i just look up sd_mingshi.prefab in the search?

#

also would it be in the part and role bundles or do i need to scour shared as well?

zinc dirge Dec 24, 2025, 7:52 PM

#

Let me lok

random hornet Dec 24, 2025, 7:52 PM

#

no i mean extract that prefab's bundles using the python script

zinc dirge Dec 24, 2025, 7:52 PM

#

THink I found them

restive basalt Dec 24, 2025, 7:54 PM

#

which command to I use?

zinc dirge Dec 24, 2025, 7:54 PM

#

Check mingshi_battle_loop_3.prefab

#

That's the EFX

#

theres also a mingshi_battle_loop_2.prefab

#

mingshi_battle_loop_1.prefab

restive basalt Dec 24, 2025, 7:55 PM

#

like do i use extract bundle? extract bundle dep or extract asset dep?

random hornet Dec 24, 2025, 7:56 PM

#

extract asset dep

#

and give the filename like the prefabs above

zinc dirge Dec 24, 2025, 7:57 PM

#

extract-asset-dep mingshi_battle_loop_3.prefab "Export Place"

restive basalt Dec 24, 2025, 8:05 PM

#

where do I put the path for P5X again? before or after the command to run the script

#

i don't use this super super often so it often escapes me where I put the p5x directory in the command

zinc dirge Dec 24, 2025, 8:06 PM

#

are you using the newest version?

restive basalt Dec 24, 2025, 8:06 PM

#

yeah

#

i don't use python, i use the windows powershell thing since that was what i was taught

zinc dirge Dec 24, 2025, 8:07 PM

#

Oof I can't help you then

restive basalt Dec 24, 2025, 8:07 PM

#

well 'python' and 'uv run' do the same thing, command wise

#

i just can't remember if I put the p5x directory after uv run but before typing p5xutils or if i type 'uv run p5xutils,py' and THEN the p5x directory

zinc dirge Dec 24, 2025, 8:09 PM

#

Idk try both

restive basalt Dec 24, 2025, 8:11 PM

#

ah okay there we go

#

lots of shared bundles

zinc dirge Dec 24, 2025, 8:12 PM

#

Yup

#

Your looking for efx

lofty wolf Dec 24, 2025, 8:14 PM

#

restive basalt A little extra teehee

What is that Ann model!?!?

restive basalt Dec 24, 2025, 8:14 PM

#

uh, no....

#

that's just a meshmod my friend made using yukari's face and probably some of Ann's hair, idk
he makes elaborate meshmods of different characters using mostly Dancing assets

#

odd

#

oh oops i added a 0

#

unfortunately it only extracted one efx file

#

er bundle

#

the rest is one animation, one role, one simply called 'shaders.bundle', and a bunch of 'shared' bundles

random hornet Dec 24, 2025, 8:26 PM

#

well see whats in those bundles load them all in assetstudio

#

particles can be in shared

#

especially their textures

zinc dirge Dec 24, 2025, 8:27 PM

#

Yup

restive basalt Dec 24, 2025, 8:28 PM

#

#

#

#

all those bundles for 2 assets 😭

zinc dirge Dec 24, 2025, 8:29 PM

#

Yup lol

restive basalt Dec 24, 2025, 8:29 PM

#

💀

lofty wolf Dec 24, 2025, 8:30 PM

#

Also, @random hornet , idk if it's OK to ask you this, but is it possible you could try to extract all of Ikenami/Luce's character models and send them to me?

restive basalt Dec 24, 2025, 8:31 PM

#

i literally wrote a guide onto how to get them

#

.

#

the only thing not listed in here is how to decrypt the bundles but it's really easy to do

random hornet Dec 24, 2025, 8:33 PM

#

p5xutils decrypts for you too but yeah

#

its prob easier in some ways to deobfuscate all the bundles

#

i dont have enough space on my hdd to have the game and deobfuscated copies of every bundle though

restive basalt Dec 24, 2025, 8:35 PM

#

if you learn how to do this yourself, you can have whatever you want
no offense, but you can't keep asking people to do things for you like this
it's way more efficient to learn and do it yourself

#

idk if it's because you're struggling to learn or being lazy, but if it's being lazy, then you aren't going to get far
because eventually people aren't going to help you if you aren't trying

#

I'm not trying to be mean, don't get me wrong
I just want to stress that it's wiser to learn how to do this yourself, as there will come a point where people will stop listening to your requests
With learning the process, you open up the door to everything

restive basalt Dec 24, 2025, 11:15 PM

#

After i finish my lil snack, i'm gonna comb through the assets in assetstudio among both part + role and shared dark
He'd look wrong in vrchat without all those particles

restive basalt Dec 25, 2025, 12:30 AM

#

I've found lots of textures that I think go to skills and skill meshes
as well as textures for some of his models + his ||demogorgon|| model, which is also in part and role

zinc dirge Dec 25, 2025, 12:31 AM

#

You should get the full particle system

restive basalt Dec 25, 2025, 12:33 AM

#

but how? i'm looking in the files, but i hardly know what i'm looking for
in shared i'm seeing a mix of a few meshes, images, .mat, and a.asset or two
i think two assets that end in .controller

zinc dirge Dec 25, 2025, 12:35 AM

#

Are you have the settings to show everything on?

restive basalt Dec 25, 2025, 12:35 AM

#

yep
it's set to see everything

#

no filter

zinc dirge Dec 25, 2025, 12:35 AM

#

No there's another setting

restive basalt Dec 25, 2025, 12:35 AM

#

?

#

the 'display all assets'?

zinc dirge Dec 25, 2025, 12:37 AM

#

@random hornet help me out here I'm not at my PC rn where is the setting again

random hornet Dec 25, 2025, 12:38 AM

#

i think it is the display all assets setting

restive basalt Dec 25, 2025, 12:38 AM

#

that's what i did but i don't really see any differences in what it's displaying

zinc dirge Dec 25, 2025, 12:39 AM

#

Alright give me a sec almost done work

random hornet Dec 25, 2025, 12:39 AM

#

you have to reload the bundles

#

for it to apply

restive basalt Dec 25, 2025, 12:40 AM

#

time to reload all 20 something gb dark (not that it takes an hour or anything, i got 32gb of ram)

#

rip

zinc dirge Dec 25, 2025, 1:04 AM

#

You'll want to get the dependencies of this efx_1134a000.bundle

restive basalt Dec 25, 2025, 1:06 AM

#

well i typed mingshi and got this

#

in part + role

zinc dirge Dec 25, 2025, 1:06 AM

#

Also get the ones from the loops

restive basalt Dec 25, 2025, 1:06 AM

#

role_6399fbee.bundle was where I saw this

#

???

#

hm...

#

ah, that bundle doesn't exist in my files

zinc dirge Dec 25, 2025, 1:23 AM

#

Hm interesting

restive basalt Dec 25, 2025, 1:24 AM

#

efx_mingshi697c54a2.bundle is what is in the loop depencies

zinc dirge Dec 25, 2025, 1:24 AM

#

Interesting

restive basalt Dec 25, 2025, 1:28 AM

#

i extracted the dependencies for that and it all goes back to sd_mingshi and the same bundle (role_6399fbee.bundle)

zinc dirge Dec 25, 2025, 1:35 AM

#

welp check those out and see what it is

restive basalt Dec 25, 2025, 1:37 AM

#

the dependencies for sd_mingshi and the loop bundles

#

meanwhile i get this when I open assetstudio and drag in the shared bundles and input mingshi

#

all of these which stems back to bundle role_6399fbee.bundle

restive basalt Dec 25, 2025, 2:18 AM

#

i sure ain't complaining

zinc dirge Dec 25, 2025, 2:19 AM

#

It's not very complicated

random hornet Dec 25, 2025, 2:35 AM

well once u have particle system u extract with assetripper. each effect would have an associated prefab

(listed as a GameObject on assetstudio)

restive basalt Dec 25, 2025, 5:53 AM

Ahhh

restive basalt Dec 25, 2025, 5:54 AM

It is for me 😔

Ok, so I want to download assetstudio and assetripper, I downloaded the gui version of assetripper given in the page, but idk what to do for assetstudio

#

Am I supposed to download the zipped repository?

#

And then what do I do?

#

Also, how needed is better fbx importer, and what does it do?

restive basalt Dec 30, 2025, 10:18 PM

#

Better fbx importer is basically an upgrade from blender's default fbx importer
It adds much better support for fbx files that come from stuff like unity

#

Assetstudio should have a release page where you can download the full release and not the repository

spiral pendant Dec 31, 2025, 1:03 AM

#

I don't think you really need better fbx if you just want to get the models imported and working in Blender

restive basalt Dec 31, 2025, 1:35 AM

no, but it imports a lot nicer than default

~~and there's links out there to get that plugin for free anyway~~

@random hornet for some reason it isn't showing up

#

restive basalt Jan 10, 2026, 11:54 PM

random hornet that means theres a compilation error in the project

i didn't do anything wrong, which is weird
the scripts are in the script folder and the fashion script is in the list of assets

it isn't doing it with an old dump

the script folder of the old one

i also used a slightly older version of the script

lofty wolf Jan 12, 2026, 7:27 AM

#

Ok, so to get started, where do I even find the bundles?

#

Like, which folder?

#

Acutally nvm I think i found them

#

but which one should I do? all the part or rule ones or only the ones including the name of the character I want?

#

And do I open them in assetripper first? But they fail to load on my first try

#

'

#

#

I also dk which one contains what I'm looking for, the specific character and persona

restive basalt Jan 12, 2026, 4:17 PM

#

lofty wolf Acutally nvm I think i found them

Yeah those are all the bundles

restive basalt Jan 12, 2026, 4:18 PM

#

lofty wolf

That says efx, so that's likely a/the bundle for visual or audio effects

#

I suggest making a folder called 'part and role'
Go back to the folder where the bundle folders are
Type in 'part' and after it finishes searching, copy and paste all of those to 'part and role'
The repeat that for the role files
Then make a folder called 'shared' and do the same you did with the other folder

#

I suggest separating them like this because loading every bundle or even half of them - depending on how much ram you have - will make assetstudio stop responding

#

In the end, you only need part and role for most of the model
For stuff like face, eye, and hair textures, you need to load the 'shared' bundles, as those textures are shared scross different models (in this case, all of Luce's models)

#

One last thing though
Did you do anything to the files to decrypt the bundles? If not, you need to do that to view them in assetstudio

Usually in assetripper you just click open a bundle and when you're able to see the contents, to to the export option

#

Did you decrypt the bundles btw? They need to be decrypted to open in assetstudio and assetripper

Because when you download the game, the bundles inside have a dummy encryption that you can decrypt using this:

#

icy silo the jsons say RGBA but what if it has to be something else I remember ripping th...

nah it is rgb

#

there are a few things the game does oddly tho

#

the alpha gradient, only the first and last stop are actually used for sampling

#

GradientAlphaTop and GradientAlphaBottom are not used

#

it seems like the chainer applies the gradient upside down

#

essentially the game does this:
take baseColor from texture, adjust based on Brightness, Saturation, and Contrast, store in adjustColor
sample gradient color, adjust based on GraBrightness, GraSaturation, GraContrast, store in gradientColor
sample gradient alpha, store gradientAlpha
adjustColor = mix(adjustColor, adjustColor * gradientColor, gradientAlpha)
finalColor = mix(baseColor, adjustColor, EffectFactor) (important! baseColor here is completely unmodified from original texture)

#

oh yeah and the gradient is stored in the file in linear space but i think the game uses its srgb values

#

also the game applies different gradients to different layers, based on what it says to in the DB ConfDialogMatParam

random hornet Jan 19, 2026, 4:16 PM

#

random hornet essentially the game does this: take baseColor from texture, adjust based on `Br...

also since all this is happening in a shader, the texture is converted to linear space, and then the output is converted back to srgb

restive basalt Jan 19, 2026, 6:35 PM

#

random hornet it seems like the chainer applies the gradient upside down

I don't think so
Chainner applies the gradient in the position the gradient is in when it's generated
If anything, it applies this way because that's how the gradient was generated after using the python script

#

#

It just applied top to bottom, like the gradient

#

Since that's Masaki gradient there, you can grab his portrait pieces and experiment

like this is about how ashiya's gradient should look after everything (using Angle, Center, Ratio, GraBrightness, GraSaturation, and GraContrast)

#

and a final result like this

icy silo Jan 19, 2026, 11:28 PM

#

I was wondering if it was something like that.

#

Is that the solution then? Or are some still messed up

random hornet Jan 19, 2026, 11:31 PM

#

something still looks a bit off on some

#

hm

#

not doing linear -> srgb on the gradient makes it look more accurate, but hurts the accuracy of others so idk

#

the in game picture is also just more yellow in general, even in areas where the gradient has 0 effect. so im not sure whats causing that.

#

in-game

#

(i have no idea why motoha's portrait got so crusty from DXT compression btw, but most portraits use BC7 or RGBA32, so thats why they look better than hers)

#

the school outfit portraits tend to use DXT5 while metaverse uses BC7, but theres no actual rhyme or reason

random hornet Jan 20, 2026, 12:14 AM

this is the glsl for the shader (from the mobile version) if someone wants to look at it, but its pretty hard to read because its cross-compiled from hlsl to glsl by unity.

That Chainner app you showed me seems like it would be useful for that

restive basalt Jan 21, 2026, 2:15 AM

#

icy silo That Chainner app you showed me seems like it would be useful for that

Chainner is good for combining the sprite and other stuff like fixing normals
The thing is finding the parameters for the gradient

#

Like what aaron did for Masaki's gradient

#

We at least know that the python script generates the gradient upside down, but we need to know the parameters for the character's gradient (angle, center, grabrightness, grasaturation, and gracontrast)

icy silo Jan 21, 2026, 2:29 AM

#

is that not in the json?

restive basalt Jan 21, 2026, 2:32 AM

I'm not sure, tbh

#

I also don't know how to read the jsons

#

Er, open them (external program)

icy silo Jan 21, 2026, 2:33 AM

#

just use a text editor or IDE
I use Notepad++

restive basalt Jan 21, 2026, 2:34 AM

#

Ahhh

#

Hmm...

#

We have:

Angle
Center
Grabrightness
Grasaturatiom
Gracontrast

Brightness, saturation and contrast are easy to change, but then we have angle and center
How does that convert to a program like photoshop or gimp (or chainner too)

random hornet Jan 21, 2026, 2:38 AM

#

looking deeper, Center and Ratio are only used if gradientMode is 1 (which is Radial)

restive basalt Jan 21, 2026, 2:38 AM

#

Not angle?

#

You said Ratio now

random hornet Jan 21, 2026, 2:39 AM

#

Angle only seems to be used in Linear

#

Ratio is a seperate property

#

although most gradients are Linear mode

#

only takemi's hair uses radial mode

restive basalt Jan 21, 2026, 2:39 AM

#

Stuff like saturation, brightness, and contrast aren't difficult to adjust in a program

#

It's just the other ones

random hornet Jan 21, 2026, 3:10 AM

#

the angle is just in degrees

#

just rotate the layer by that amount of degrees

#

although its flipped from normal for some reason

#

so like -90 would make the gradient left to right instead of bottom to top

random hornet Jan 21, 2026, 3:12 AM

#

random hornet just rotate the layer by that amount of degrees

oh and fill in the gaps that leaves with the color at that edge

restive basalt Jan 21, 2026, 3:12 AM

#

Interesting

#

I'm guessing all these parameters were inside the json

restive basalt Jan 21, 2026, 3:21 AM

#

random hornet so like -90 would make the gradient left to right instead of bottom to top

So if the parameters said -90, you'd input 90 instead and vice versa

random hornet Jan 21, 2026, 3:21 AM

#

yeah

lofty wolf Jan 21, 2026, 7:18 AM

Do I really have to load the entire part and role or shared bundle folders in assetripper or assetstudio to find what I'm looking for?

Is there any faster way to directly find them?

restive basalt Jan 21, 2026, 1:02 PM

You only need to load it into assetstudio
From there you should be able to pinpoint the individual files for his model and rig

#

As for shared, you can technically "cheat" by checking out p5x-theories on tumblr
They have a drive of P5X models + their textures, but the models themselves aren't rigged

They referenced mika, if you look at the pose

It's so drastic between beta and now

Lol I see it now, definitely. The shoulders are the exact same
The pose with the head turned like that always reminded me of Ichinose too

restive basalt Jan 22, 2026, 8:01 AM

#

Berry has it too, iirc

#

Aran and Manaka (Ange) share the futaba pose
Manaka less so, because that's just a single set of sprites she uses for Chizuko's side quest

I just remembered, a neat thing I noticed is P5 had an unused portrait of Igor smiling and it was used in P5X

We don't talk about Masaki tho...

Futaba gotta stay locked in with that gamer hunch

restive basalt Jan 22, 2026, 8:05 AM

#

Look at Masaki and Yusuke's sprites and you'll see why

If we ever get Strikers collab (god I hope) then maybe we can render Wolf's phantom thief attire without his mask. Which was in the Strikers artbook but not seen in game

restive basalt Jan 22, 2026, 8:07 AM

#

I doubt it, tbh
But we can hope

icy silo Jan 22, 2026, 8:09 AM

#

I would have next to no hope if not for that image of Sophia they left in the beta

random hornet Jan 22, 2026, 8:26 AM

#

i feel like sophie was considered for the shop before marthym exited

#

rather than being a actual char

restive basalt Jan 22, 2026, 8:26 AM

#

I mean technically striker's textures match P5X beta textures, so I could make a convincing mock model

#

#

Marian's face

random hornet Jan 22, 2026, 8:27 AM

#

idk if they'd give her her actual persona or just her mock persona

restive basalt Jan 22, 2026, 8:28 AM

Probably mock? Prevent spoilers kind of thing

When in doubt, look up playthroughs (for that motoha sprite you just deleted)

mona's gradient is so messd up

thankies
morty was asking and since i'm already looking in assetstudio for some props, i thought i'd ask

Quick Question

#

The P5X models have face weights yea?

spiral pendant Jan 24, 2026, 6:38 PM

#

yes

restive basalt Jan 24, 2026, 6:44 PM

#

And some shapekeys, depending on if you exported the face with 'bs' in the name

#

Almost each shapekey corresponds with a sprite the character has (ex smiling, looking worried, etc), as well as a blink shape key, and mouth shapekeys for each vowel

Okay, so I loaded them all, but how do I find the bundles they are located in?
