[P5R PC] Rose & Violet Male Romance Addition

[green comet]

yeah ik

this was a bit weird though

[tough aspen]

they should make the fallback something funny, like siu director

[green comet]

unless i just don't remember what sae says here normally

[dry karma]

no you're right. I'll have to find that script file and change it

[green comet]

cool

i'll need to figure out how to make morgana mod not mess with this mod though

[placid valve]

reminds me of this one mod I saw on gamebanana earlier that turns ann into the director

[junior narwhal]

cuz i think thatss the inspiration.

[tough aspen]

im aware of that mod but its not why lol
mostly i was just leaning into the meme of glazing the dude and shoving him into everything

[silent wave]

uhhh has Akechi romance been added yet?

[dry karma]

no

[fervent ferry]

While waiting for Akechi romance... Here's some silly fanart of Akerose (ship name for Akechi x Kasumi)

[junior narwhal]

Speaking of that I been wondering.

|| Usually romance is on rank 9 but with him. I wonder if it earlier ||

[dry karma]

it'll be rank 8

[junior narwhal]

Huh as I thought lol.

[stable field]

would be very funny if it would be rank 9 but rank 8 is better

[hasty gust]

thank you ryuji

[dry karma]

my favorite

[junior narwhal]

It's just "reserve sign"

[junior narwhal]

"exactly" lmao she would do that

[dry karma]

lmao this fits so well

[junior narwhal]

she has to be as sharp witted to be against him lmso

[stable field]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Box9MfaTFmA reminds me of that

[junior narwhal]

Blunt like a lamp fr

[sand cedar]

I love her & all but it not like she could do anything about it

[junior narwhal]

Yea like spiked coffee 😭

[dry karma]

this is how futaba finds out he's alive lol

[junior narwhal]

The first to find out lol

[stable field]

I must say im hyped for the Akechi romance ,i loved that we could romance death in p3p and this reminds me of that

[junior narwhal]

Honestly same
I'm curious how it be written
Most time I don't care about who the ship is but how it is written

[dry karma]

i'll try my best

[echo glen]

Yabai????

Shikashi…

Sugoi!

Seriously that was a Journey. Arigato.

do you make the romance in rank 8 bc rank 9 is the thing where he "dies" in the shido palace ?

thx

[dry karma]

finally done with mishima now i just gotta test the events

[visual salmon]

I hope the Mishima one is really good ❤️❤️

[dry karma]

this is good for people who don't even want to date mishima, since he actually confesses to you

it felt kinda odd in the base mod

[dry karma]

mishima fix your damn posture

[nimble quartz]

YIPPEE

time to get back into the rose & violet mod, i've been too preoccupied with my chinese MMO lately 😩

[green comet]

W

almost time for my next run

[dry karma]

oops pasted the wrong thing

we up boys

[green comet]

i better finish my p4 run soon so i can play

[meager bobcat]

Wake me up when we can romance DILF Yakuza.

[stable field]

@dry karma btw on which one do you work now after mishima ?

[dry karma]

akechi

[meager bobcat]

Curses.

[wet field]

Is Yusuke already done too or is it only Ryuji, Mishima, Akechi, then finally Yusuke?

[dry karma]

the latter

[wet field]

Welp, At least I get Akechi sooner.

ty for your work btw

[green comet]

Does Mishima hand out RESERVE too?

[dry karma]

yeah... I still haven't figured that out

my reloaded 2 logs say that the PAKs merge successfully, so idk why they still say that

[tough aspen]

i forgor where does the RESERVE show up

[dry karma]

items

but the items are given names in the item bmd

inside... a pak I forgot the name of

[tough aspen]

its not name.tbl?

ur not thinking of descriptions?

[dry karma]

not descriptions

[green comet]

@dry karma did you ever fix this

[dry karma]

oh yeah I forgot about that

it's a simple flowscript change I'll handle it

add it to the list of gay joker fixes too

[mental onyx]

Good to see this still going

[junior narwhal]

Be a weird confo with Kaoru 💀

[junior narwhal]

Ya kno I been playing r&v mod while also have Loki persona as addition mod.

Making headcanon when akechi "died" kasumi inherit Loki like junpei and chidori but it's his persona as whole lol.

[junior narwhal]

This maybe a question been thrown in before but
|| Is event for the valentine / white day also included ||

[dry karma]

yes

[junior narwhal]

Coolll can't wait do next run ||is this also include for akechi being count being he is "dead"||

[stable field]

||I would believe he isnt dead , cause after the Ilsusion shatterd Wakaba and Okumura were gone but akechi was still there. And Joker was never lost in this Ideal World , thats why i believe he survived and Maruki locked his Memories just like he did it with Rumi and Sumire.||

But Atlus said that both good be right

[junior narwhal]

But there also apparently that "cut content" about him after S3

[tough aspen]

cut content isnt canon

[crimson glen]

That we know of

[tough aspen]

do you know how cut content works

[junior narwhal]

[silent wave]

which males are implemented so far?

[junior narwhal]

as of for now

• ryuji
• mishima

[silent wave]

thanks

[green comet]

it just occurred to me doing mishima rank 10 that it's using the english dub

[dry karma]

that's the default from gay joker

it's the same at the school festival

idk how to do two separate audios

[tough aspen]

to have jp voices for custom events youd need to make a toggle that passes a different folder to crifs hook depending on the user's setting

[dry karma]

🫠

[tough aspen]

honestly ive thought of making a mod that like fetches the players voice language setting and passes different folders to crifs/awb emulator/ryo depending on which one they have toggled
however
my brain has thus far failed to grasp reverse engineering

in any case, ive thought of doing the language toggle thing with gay jonkler itself but im kinda lazy and its lower priority than, like, making the mod actually work

[green comet]

it's gonna be my last p5 run for a while anyways probably so it'll make no difference to me ig

[dry karma]

small update

[tough aspen]

i do not recommend doing this but apparently youve done it so. lmao

[dry karma]

what do you mean lol i just made them bmd files again

it's probably better anyway since r&v uses raw bmd files too

i knew there might be some conflicts and isuppose they showed

also going through them i was sloppy as hell because the msg numbers were NOT lined up. how did no one have any problems

maybe i'll do bmd merging again once the bug is fixed

[tough aspen]

like i guess you can but the issue in question is not a "mod conflict" and is not a problem with bmd emulator as such, it is a problem with persona essentials passing incorrect base files to the emulators and is irrespective of the combination of mods (the post you were looking at still had the issue even after turning off all mods except the one showing the behavior)

[dry karma]

but i can't deal with all the complaints of "why jp text" anymore

if i get any complaints i'll know it didn't do anything

i still have to figure out the fuckin pak emulator bug but i'm lazy

[tough aspen]

the reason i told you to backread is because the messages directly above where you entered the conversation were swine and the op figuring out what the issue was

[dry karma]

i was aware the issue was persona essentials

but i was only seeing it really happen with bmd emulator so i just called it that

i'm not gonna go in the update post "persona essentials was giving the wrong language file to bmd emulator" saying "bmd emulator bug" is simpler for non-modders to understand

[tough aspen]

i feel like ive seen it with bfs before (it would not surprise me, bmd emu code is mostly copypasted from bf emu code), and i assume it could happen with spd too but be easier to miss with spds

[dry karma]

also originally i wanted to use bmd emulator because i was told it could hook into existing bmd files from other mods, but that behavior didn't happen so i had to put r&v's changes in the msg file anyway

[tough aspen]

it is probably better to do what rv itself is doing if doing so is not outright deleterious, tbf

[dry karma]

deleterious...?

oh

yeah i don't want to have zylvos switch everything to bmd emulator lmao. too many files for that. i'm good with what i did convincing him to switch the schedulers to bf emulation

maybe i can convince him to switch the bmds in pak emulation to bmd emulation though to see if that fixes the bug with the blurbs

well that wouldn't explain the chat titles not working...

[tough aspen]

i just also think that broadly speaking, cutting merging altogether just to bandaid an outside bug that takes maybe a couple lines of code to fix isnt worth it. like i wouldnt bother if i saw it reported with like yoshizawa hair tweak
(the cause of the bug is irrespective of the actual mods anyway, anything that merges a language-sensitive file would see it)

[dry karma]

i'll probably keep it with the raw bmds after it's fixed anyway

i suppose it was just an excuse to switch it back

it's a good idea anyway since evtui's bmd emulation support is.... yeah

[tough aspen]

i guess i could snipe swine to pring a fix, i actually have p3p now so i could check cpk names for those myself, but i dont feel like doing that...

[dry karma]

swine already made a pr no?

[tough aspen]

no he made an issue post to remind himself

[dry karma]

ooh

[past lantern]

Heyooo! I'm loving the mod, Ryuji Supremacy 100%!

I wanted to let you know that I'm working on a new cover for the GameBanana page for this mod. Would you give me permission? Don't worry, you're free to use it or not, hahaha. I'm sending you what I've done so far (it's still a work in progress, so several things will change).

(Idk how to send images; I created this account just to send you this comment, lol. It's safe.)

I'm open to any suggestions. I'll probably have it ready by the end of the month, and I'd send it in a comment like this one.

(I'm doing this because I'm bored and on vacation, and I wanted to draw Kasumi with all the guys, and why not use that drawing, right? hahaha).

I look forward to your reply! tysm!

(I posted this on the Gamebanana page first lol but I discovered there's a dedicated Discord server for this, and it's better to put this here than in the Gamebanana comments, and I don't know how to delete the original comment HAHAHAHA)

WIP:

[dry karma]

holy peak

go ahead 100%

[junior narwhal]

Bruh I already liking how kasumi and Ryuji look
This about to be Straight fire.

[dry karma]

I agree your art style is really pretty even in the sketch phase

[past lantern]

Tysm! I'll send another preview when I've started coloring, so you can see what it will look like!

[past lantern]

I'll be uploading the backgrounds of the drawings to #yusukes-art-gallery

[junior narwhal]

speaking of in hardcoded romance does the flag need be preset on default or female protag? just making sure

[tough aspen]

it should set itself, the config option is vestigial

[junior narwhal]

ahhhh so default is fine i assume?

[tough aspen]

yea

[junior narwhal]

aslong its bellow unhardcoded correct?

[tough aspen]

shouldnt matter, dependencies load before dependents as long as dependency is set properly

[dry karma]

it should be set to default. make sure you don't have gay joker or fem joker installed bc it will automatically set to them if the mod is present

[junior narwhal]

aight should be fine i only have R&V in mod loader

[tough aspen]

id think itd only matter if they were actually enabled

[dry karma]

oh i haven't looked at the source code so idk if it triggers if it's enabled or installed

[tough aspen]

is it even open source...

[dry karma]

i don't think so

[tough aspen]

it would be a really glaring oversight to check for installed instead of enabled since a user could easily have both but will probably not use both at once

[past lantern]

Heyooooo! I'm sending you another preview. I've been thinking about sending it for Valentine's Day! I'm putting in my best effort to make everything perfect—anatomy, measurements, etc. (I've been up until 3 AM several nights...). I already have the backgrounds and I'm in a pretty advanced stage of the line art; I'm about to start painting. I'll do my best to have it ready for Valentine's Day! If I can't send it by then, I might send you one that's already in a more advanced stage of coloring hahaha. Tysm, and have a great day!

[After/Before]

[visual salmon]

Ooh the one where Kasumi covers the guy's eyes is Mishima right? Lol

[past lantern]

yea

it is hahaha

[visual salmon]

Ahh that checks out lol

[junior narwhal]

the mishima look so cute more like pure "close your eye for me" love it

[dry karma]

your style is so pretty!!!

[past lantern]

Tysm! You motivate me to keep going and to do my best!!! 🙏

[meager wagon]

Looks really nice!

[shut salmon]

Excuse my nosiness

But how is Akechis romance coming along

[dry karma]

I've been very busy with my personal life

I'm getting ready for uni and I'm finishing my last semester at community college

I imagine I won't start working on it until summer break

[shut salmon]

Ahhh

[junior narwhal]

aye last semester.
goodluck mate final stretch

[ancient lichen]

u got this!!!!!1

[dry karma]

sick fem eito pfp

[stable field]

gl and take your time

[past lantern]

Heyooooo! Happy Valentine's Day! Sorry I didn't manage to finish it on time...
It still needs some fixes but it's about 80% done. Maybe I'll send the finished version next week! Tysm and have a great day! 💖

this is what I've done so far:

[dry karma]

oh wow your rendering is really pretty

[past lantern]

I'm using official game artwork as a reference hahahaha

but ty!

[junior narwhal]

OH MY DAYS so cute. also akechi really out here being smirky lol

[past lantern]

He's a bully HAHAHHA

[junior narwhal]

act like kasumi aint going to lay him out in memeto if he act up 🥀

[shut salmon]

I love it, 🥰

[past lantern]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GL3RURNm-Vg Kasumi:

[dry karma]

masakado what are you doing in persona 5 ‼️

[junior narwhal]

royal heist tomfoolery moment

[junior narwhal]

i should actually record the fight next time when the romance available lmao

[past lantern]

HAHAHAHAHA

[junior narwhal]

or alternatively.

[dry karma]

still need to try that mod

[junior narwhal]

its good honestly recommend it for more "challenging" fight

[dry karma]

gets destroyed by masakado
akechi 2 seconds later: I love you

[past lantern]

HAHAHAHAH poor akechi

[junior narwhal]

||make him the bottom||

i promise you when that mod update for his ass (hell i make seperate safe fuck it lmao) i will do it in a heartbeat to record

[junior narwhal]

But again
Keep up the beautiful work for real

[dry karma]

he's a bottom no matter what

[junior narwhal]

No matter if it joker or rose bro is bottom through and through

But making sure he know his place in fight also satisfying

[visual salmon]

It's looking very good, it looks very official art from the way you rendered it perfectly ❤️

[past lantern]

tysm! I will!!!

[fervent ferry]

I love this so far

And also they look silly

[junior narwhal]

Stone cold "detective"
And a heartwarming gymnast.

2 different life
1 same coin (fools)

[past lantern]

TYYY!!

[shut salmon]

I can’t wait to see the rest of the art, it looks so good

[patent isle]

Awww so cute.

[arctic hare]

this mod is the best thing since sliced bread. I love kasumi and akechi and its literlally taken over me and girlfriend's domespace thank you twin

[dry karma]

hehe

[junior narwhal]

I love how everyone straight up hype for akechi lol.

Honestly same especially now with gyaru kasumi have fanmade bust up.

The sass would be wild against him

[shut salmon]

Be really funny if there was a way to code Ryuji’s mother into game so she could fawn over Ryu Kas being together

[junior narwhal]

Bruh I would love to see that
Being Ryuji mom is actively living with him. And being the only PT member that HAVE mother that's alive.

[shut salmon]

Honestly I might write a fic on ao3 about that

[tough aspen]

ann has parents theyre just unavailable

[sand cedar]

Same with joker

[tough aspen]

yes but this is a rose and violet thread

[sand cedar]

Oh oops sorry kasumi then?

[shut salmon]

Unfortunately Kasumi and Sumire parents are deceased in The R&V time line

But Soji will definitely adopt the two

[junior narwhal]

the twin is under their grandparent.

[junior narwhal]

Ah right I forgot to ask.

Is the load order matter ?

As in
Is it

• Male romance
• unhardcoded

Or the other way around

[dry karma]

other way around

[junior narwhal]

huh odd.

cuz when im in rank 9 ryuji right after the rank up
the "choose my word carefully" show up but it just fade to black

[dry karma]

turn off the confidant cheat sheet option

[junior narwhal]

ohhhhhhhhhh aight thx raven

[dry karma]

np

[past lantern]

I've finished the drawing, I'll post it later today 👀

[dry karma]

omg

[arctic hare]

joy!!!! joy!!!!!! I’ve been so excited to see it

hetgem inbound 🔥

[junior narwhal]

ohhhhh hype

[past lantern]

【** Heyooooo! I FINALLY FINISHED IT!!! Here's the final result of the drawing, I hope you like it ^^**!】

• I also made additional art for the mod description, to give it more style and not just be text! (I hope that helps with so many people asking which romances are available HAHAHAH)

If some drawings look a little "weird," it's because they don't include the adjustments I made while coloring the cover.

That's all. It was a pleasure working on and contributing to this project, and I'm really looking forward to the Akechi romance! Thank you so much for this honor! @dry karma

-As for me, I'll be active in this community. I'll also be working with a team on a project that will bring the story of R&V to life in 2D animation (cutscenes), so you'll be seeing me around often, haha.

Have a great day! ✨

[digital cairn]

Beautiful art!

[visual salmon]

Pretty nice job on the art, love it~ ❤️

[past lantern]

Tyyy!

[visual salmon]

Your welcome. 😊

[dry karma]

omgggg

It looks perfect!!! 😭

[junior narwhal]

Aw hell yeah what a perfect art for thumbnail

[bronze sphinx]

I just wanted to say thank you for creating this mod as I’ve always kind been a lowkey Sumi x Ryuji fan when I first played the game on my switch 2 years ago. The mods gave me a reason to buy the game on steam for sale

[junior narwhal]

everytime i see akechi pinch kasumi got me like "cute" but she look like she can just
"stand down pretty boi."

[junior narwhal]

Honestly alot this ship would work.

Ryuji and sumi being both athletic and share experience together and probably giving tips to one another

[junior narwhal]

(not finish) something waiting for him when the mod drop.

[arctic hare]

kasukechi🔥

my favorite hetgem it’s so good

[junior narwhal]

Honestly I like the idea.
2 fool 1 fate
Type beat

[arctic hare]

EXACTLY

I have so many thoughts but i don’t want to be annoying abt it lol

[dry karma]

writing kasumi and ryuji was really fun

they have such natural chemistry

[junior narwhal]

Like homeboy homegirl type relationship
They can banter each other well

Idk why but my head naming the ship like

• the fools for kasumi akechi.
• 00 for kasumi Mishima

[arctic hare]

the ship name my gf came up w for kasukechi is antithesis and it’s got aura but fools is also so tuff

I like 00… it’s cool

[junior narwhal]

00
0 for the fool arcana
And 0 for zero Mishima nickname (which honestly is cool nicknames to begin with)

[junior narwhal]

I like the antithesis idea.
More symbolic

[arctic hare]

it’s so good it’s so good

[bronze sphinx]

Two 00 does make infinity sign

[arctic hare]

WAIT FIRE???

[plucky hull]

Hi, I have started the romance with ryuji (have the hearts and rank 10). my question is do i need to turn it back off for any dates or hangouts in order to have events process correctly?

[dry karma]

no?

those are custom events so the config option won't do anything

[plucky hull]

Ok! Thanks! I just wanted to make sure that it didn't affect it for some reason. Was just trying to be careful!

[junior narwhal]

Lmao
I got scared I thought the valentine/white day was bugged cuz
Cuz Ryuji apparently try call Kasumi mid dinner

[dry karma]

the call mid dinner only happens if you're dating someone else

might be something wrong with the flag check function

I mught've accidentally put ryuji's flag in the check lol

[junior narwhal]

Nah I only have Mishima in this run

[dry karma]

oh hm

you might ave ryuji's flag triggered for some reason

btw what did you think of mishima i haven't heard anyone's thoughts yet

[junior narwhal]

its definitely cute
giving what people count the loser a chances and he being happy about it

[junior narwhal]

yeah cuz when the date in the aquarium mishima said we didnt meet at valentine despite he the only one i romance

[digital cairn]

I haven't played all of it but from what I have it's really cute. I love the vibe of the cool girl adopting her loser bf lol. It's cute how hes both excited and nervous about being in a relationship

I love that one line iirc Eating my girlfriend's cooking? I'll cross that off the bucket list.
That's such a him thing to say

[junior narwhal]

Yep this whole thing is how I feel

Not help with gyarusumi model more of that energy multiplied lol

[arctic hare]

Really enjoy mishima being a lameo he’s really cute I think you nailed his writing 🔥

[broken zephyr]

not sure what I did wrong but I just completed the rank 10 event and I never got the option to romance him. Maybe I need to redownload the mod? idk. The Ryuji romance worked just fine for me though.

[visual salmon]

Gotta give Mishima a hug he deserves ❤️

[junior narwhal]

The confidant cheat sheet or something like that

[broken zephyr]

As in the toggle in the Rose & Violet configuration?

Because I don't have the independent cheat sheets installed

[broken zephyr]

I tried disabling it and then did his rank 8 and 9 events but still nothing

nvm I got it! Reinstalling the mod seemed to do the trick

👍

[junior narwhal]

Huh.
Weird

[plucky hull]

Hiiiii... are you planning on ever changing main story dialogue to reflect dating someone? or is that difficult?
I'm on 8/24 rn and dating ryuji, and he says something about none of the people present having significant others, when two of them do...
it's nbd, but i am genuinely curious if you were ever planning on touching those

[dry karma]

that'd be too difficult

[plucky hull]

ok! as expected. no worries!

was just curious

[earnest elbow]

hey!!! I've been following the development of your mod for a little bit (it's GREAT by the way, totally obsessed), and just wanted to know how the Akechi update is coming/if youre still working on it? I know you're writing the events for him yourself, so I totally get why it might be taking awhile!! just poking my head in here as a user that really appreciates the work that you do and is eagerly awaiting the chance to chase around that freak in game

[dry karma]

hi I've been super busy lately

we'll see how i feel in a few weeks

[junior narwhal]

Aye good luck now
