[P3R] Project Re:Festival (Fatigue/Jealousy/Rebalance/Lighting/Etc)

[coral hornet]

Do I need to

Hmmmmmm

[unreal brook]

athena resists phys and theurgia can't pierce

justice is light element so you can't apt pupil it

[coral hornet]

Yeah I'm not thinking those

[unreal brook]

what are you thinking then

each ??? phase has an annoyance of its own

[coral hornet]

Did you buff his Megidola

[unreal brook]

megidolaon

[coral hornet]

Hmmmm manageable, still

[unreal brook]

what really hurts like a mf is trismegistus lol

also if you take a party member with opposing resists

[coral hornet]

I'm not seeing Junpei on that soz

Did you change when equips were obtained

[unreal brook]

Isis has Regen 1
Trismegistus has Crit Amp
Caesar has Buff Amp
Artemisia has very high charm/freeze rate
Athena has Phys Amp
Cerberus has Ali Dance
Kala-Nemi has High Counter

skills are slightly diff too

every phase also has the secret phys amp passive so crits hit like a truck

[unreal brook]

i dont think so?

i didnt change chests, just antique gear effects and shuffle time sword cards

[coral hornet]

What's the changed effects

On antique

[unreal brook]

same as journey iirc

should be pinned here

[coral hornet]

If it's the exact same effects for weapons

Then ok

[unreal brook]

Metatronius -> All +5/Pierce Amp
Pandemonium -> +7Ag/Arms Master
Deus Xiphos -> +10 St/Slash Amp
Quintessence Bow +10 All + Auto Concen
Sarnga - Wind Boost
Balmung - Luck +4 Agility +4/Shift Boost
Eternal Shoes -> Shift Amp
Evil Gloves -> +5 Str/Shift Boost
Pinaka -> Enduring Soul
Soul of Athena -> Shift Amp
Swan Legs -> Ali Dance
Laevateinn -> Magic+5/Fire Amp
Sabazios -> Magic +5/Ice Amp

im pretty sure i didnt change this

[coral hornet]

Aw

[unreal brook]

actually the aigis ones i dont think i changed

[coral hornet]

Nah I'm cooked

[unreal brook]

what effect did you need lol

[coral hornet]

Pierce on Pandemonium

I want to AFK it

[unreal brook]

oh pandemonium does pierce in episode aigis

[coral hornet]

Lmfaoooooo

[unreal brook]

yeah the ai is different if aigis is alone true

[coral hornet]

There's 69420 HP+ armor and equip on the door

You just make an Arahabaki that repels phys

[unreal brook]

he'll spam megidolaon but you can ali dance ig

[coral hornet]

Then AFK if lucky enough

If megidola's damage is too much, you need to heal

[unreal brook]

i dont think it's worth fixing? it was doing 300ish damage i think

i have firm stance tho

ken was being oneshotted actually

[coral hornet]

Issue of skill

I'm gonna AFK with 800 HP Aigis

[unreal brook]

oh yeah nah if you grind to 800hp i'm not gonna balance around that

he's recurved btw

lv82 20000 hp

very small bump

i think for a normal person its quite difficult, but with proper equips im sure you can still oneshot

peak charging blitz was doing close to 4k?

[coral hornet]

Type shit

https://youtu.be/9ZqfmPQdHVk?si=WfTCiF6RRge9gU3P

[coral hornet]

I don't need to, there's a fuckton of HP+ armor

[unreal brook]

fair

i put enduring soul and firm stance on the mf lol

random shit i picked up

[coral hornet]

I got like

250+ from armors

And you should be around 500s here

So I hit barely 800

[unreal brook]

i can get +100 from shoes and accessory

did you go antiques or just grind monads

[coral hornet]

Well not exactly grind

I just got them naturally

[unreal brook]

we got different luck ig

[coral hornet]

Issue of skill

[unreal brook]

i was getting monads every 2 fucking floors

and i did the triple

[coral hornet]

Well yeah that's 80% spawn rate

[unreal brook]

its too high tbh

boring asf

[coral hornet]

Maybe, maybe not

I find middle's fastest for those equips

You only do third if you really need a specific accessory

But the relevant accessories are antiques majority of the time

[unreal brook]

i thought third would always give best results

anyway im suffering with sees duels rn

may have overtuned

maybe maybe not

pandemonium strat would work though

esp if i get repel mfs

plus its actually 400 power

[coral hornet]

I like the bit where it's just Deus Xiphos that's useless as shit

[unreal brook]

yeah i just made it slash amp because there was legit nothing good to put there

[coral hornet]

No rage strats

Nothin'

[unreal brook]

oh yeah all the aigis equips in epa are reverted to vanilla

so pandemonium gaming is real

[coral hornet]

Funniest shit ever

[unreal brook]

do i bother fixing this

for ??? you need to tank but for sees duels it would actually afk 100% of the time

just need to fuse the right resists

actually no

because it wouldn't skip theurgia

and then you'd die lol

unless

enduring soul + endure

🥴

can tank 2 theurgias

honestly thats so stupid idk if i wanna fix

[coral hornet]

I thought repelling a cinematic theurgia crashes the game

[unreal brook]

no it just makes numbers not appear and it does zero damage

for block it says block

and for drain it does 1 dmg then the final hit heals the total

[coral hornet]

Stop aura farming dude you're doing 0 damage

Well at least Koro and Ken's safe from killing themselves

[unreal brook]

yeah you can't break strats those

but pandemonium works anyway

although

wouldnt pierce boost be better in sees duels anyway

345 +25% vs 400

however could just have passive in the persona itself

more work though

negligible tbh

[coral hornet]

It's hard to do a repel in general since you have to aim for it specifically

Having breaks is a big ask already

And it might honestly not be worth it

They only do Theurgia at low HP

Just fucking kill them

[unreal brook]

i changed it to 25% but yea

actually pierce resists skip over karns and counter right

pandemonium will indeed be gaming

[coral hornet]

Always did, yeah

[unreal brook]

i shouldnt be cheesing in a playtest

but oh well

im curious now

[coral hornet]

??? afk in fes was always hilarious

[unreal brook]

oh ken has elec break

i didnt know that

[coral hornet]

That's so funny

It's not like God's Hand isn't Akihiko's bnb

[unreal brook]

12000 hp seems a little too much for sees 2v2

in vanilla it would be fine but here i think maybe 7500

oneshot setup would still be cool

oh yeah definitely 7500

100% oneshottable i think

well at least one of the two

getting both might be harder

i skipped diarahan phase

yeah 7500 seems a lot better lol

oh nvm he did it anyway because 2 turns

wait he did it on aki LMAOOOOO

dumbass

pandemonium time

[unreal brook]

lmao taking fool major before doing mitsuru pushes you from level 82 to 90 (if metis is dead)

kureji

[unreal brook]

and done

had to use 2 armageddons because this shit diffspikes like crazy

im not giving erebus 3 turns bro fuck that

if you have clear save i'll add the option like in journey

ig

[coral hornet]

You're not done

[unreal brook]

im not touching jonkler until 1.0

[coral hornet]

Lmao

[unreal brook]

but yeah erebus might require grind for a few people

i was higher level and still got hit hard

if not xp grind, antiques grind

also passives are weaker so theurgies arent 2shotting the mf

[coral hornet]

Theurgia just kills it at 99 all stats in one go assuming everything crits

In one turn

Didn't even need Aigis

Metis, Junpei and Akihiko does it

[unreal brook]

i took fraudihiko/junpei/ken

fraud was debilitating, junpei was honestly not doing shit and ken was supposed to do suicide strats but it never actually happened so he was mediarahan and karn bot

armageddon on first dark embrace, then everyone else attacked more

stall until aigis could armageddon again

[unreal brook]

right i need to do minor bugfix in journey still

[unreal brook]

final door script isnt recompilable so i can't add the true erebus or the sh2 boss triggers to it

I'll think of something

[coral hornet]

L

[unreal brook]

i might put the trigger on protag room's door for now actually because i was going to do something with it anyway

you dont actually open the door dw i know what that would imply

[coral hornet]

I didn't even think about it

Although it would be kinda funny if it makes Nyx juiced the fuck up with 6 moves per turn or someshit

[unreal brook]

Yeah I was thinking of making opening his door take you to a fucked up supernyx

but i won't for now

i'll just have it do erebus toggle

[unreal brook]

The 2nd open beta/WIP for Project Re Festival is currently live and open for feedback!

What is this?

Project Re Festival is an all-encompassing overhaul and expansion of Persona 3 Reload, combining restored elements of Persona 3, Metaphor ReFantazio combat math, and original content, with an Atlus-like design philosophy in mind. While it increases game difficulty on Hard and above, it's suitable for all types of players.

The new version completes the base content of both episodes, making The Journey and Episode Aigis -The Answer- fully supported. A GameBanana mod page will be the next step.

For a breakdown of the content included in the original version, refer to the original announcement:
<#1427260821020606638 message>

Changelog:

• Added full support for Episode Aigis.
• Fixed the Great Clock no longer spawning if all of SEES is level 99.
• Added a tutorial explaining how Tired status affects the Theurgy Gauge.
• Fixed a bug where the Protagonist could buy starter weapons for himself before their corresponding party member joined SEES.
• Fixed being able to draw Affinity Fortunes and praying at the Shrine at night.
• Fixed being able to go to the Movies on the Promised Day.
• Made small adjustments to Iwatodai Dorm's visuals.

Episode Aigis:

• You can spend 7 Twilight Fragments in the Vermillion Clock to accelerate time. This will guarantee your next locked chest will spawn the Great Clock. Unlike Journey, the original cap of 13 levels is kept for balance reasons.
• Interacting with the Protagonist's room door while holding the Twilight Butterfly will test Aigis with a new challenge.

Known Issues/Todo:

• Ken doesn't quite know how to use his healing theurgy while in Tactics mode.
• Party members may sometimes waste their Theurgy in Tactics mode.
• The cinematic portion of the Nyx arena is very buggy. Some things cannot be fixed at the moment, but the gameplay section is finished.
• Tiredness does not yet feature any UI elements. Check team status by interacting with the bulletin board at the dorm.
• Elizabeth and Masked Boy are not yet adjusted or tested.
• A custom challenge battle for Episode Aigis is planned, but not yet implemented. ||「Are you familiar with the practice of Soul Hacking?」||

InabaPatcher, Mudkip's UE4SS and Mudkip's Multiple Weapons Beta are all required!

Re Festival v.0.1.0 (Beta 2)

[noble badger]

Is this compatiable with femc?

[unreal brook]

mostly yes, but animations will probably break if you use anything other than a naginata

[noble badger]

gotcha, thx

might have to give this a try

[noble badger]

Yea the boxing gloves are a little broken

aside from the floating one tho they work pretty well

[shrewd lily]

think i'll abandon arke rebalance for now and try this out since i think it conflicts too much. i wanted to use arke for the tactics

what files control tactics? could i just use arke's ai?

[unreal brook]

the floating one can actually happen with the male mc too, it's rare but it can happen

[unreal brook]

p3r.v.refestival\UnrealEssentials\P3R\Content\Xrd777\Battle\Players\Script\BF_BtlPlayerAi.uasset

and

p3r.v.refestival\UnrealEssentials\P3R\Content\Astrea\Battle\Players\Script\BF_BtlPlayerAi.uasset

Yes, you can just replace it with Arke's, but they might still do some dumb stuff with Theurgy, since it doesn't know the effects I added to it. Should be mostly ok

[shrewd lily]

sick

do you plan on making the ai more sophisticated or are you gonna keep it as it is?

[unreal brook]

the game is really designed around direct commands so I made tactics more suitable for the regular enemies, you can probably beat the game without direct commands it'll just be way harder

arke's ai will probably have some disadvantages too but that's just how it is

[noble badger]

tried the bow and its the naginata anims as expected

also noticed the camera in the nyx fight is slightly off, I assume thats part of what you mentioned

[shrewd lily]

it's my understanding arke built it with intention of using it through a whole playthrough, but you're probably right in that it might suck in certain instances

like, i probably won't use tactics during the nyx fight lol

i've been procrastinating p3r way too long i should take this as a sign to finally finish it

sort of related is it okay to update p3r now?

[coral hornet]

No

[shrewd lily]

ok

fuck my prefix is broken how do i manage this

[unreal brook]

nah, the camera is intentional to look closer to fes

[unreal brook]

everything except bgm framework is fixed

[shrewd lily]

ah yeah bc ryo is...somewhere

i'll just use the downgraded exe if anything goes wrong

[coral hornet]

I need bgm dude

On the other hand.....

If I can't fight the jonkler, means I'm free

[shrewd lily]

i don't think i have any bgm mods

[noble badger]

ah ok

the arena looks SOOOOO much better than base reload

[shrewd lily]

i got an update for bgme though?

[unreal brook]

yeah

ryo approved it without looking

[shrewd lily]

huh

lmao

[unreal brook]

it doesnt fix anything

[hollow roost]

worth noting multi weapons wont work correctly on latest version because my edit to the bp wasnt accepted

so you need to use old exe anyway and the CF build i posted in thread

[unreal brook]

it wont? but it's working for me

[shrewd lily]

let's test it out

double rolling the dice being on linux

[unreal brook]

gloves are working here too unless i'm missing smth

[noble badger]

no i was just talking about the floating one

[unreal brook]

yea but thats visual

weapon itself worked right

[noble badger]

it uses the naginata anims too but they fit well anyway so who cares

yes

[unreal brook]

oh is the animation blueprint broken

@hollow roost

[noble badger]

the bow was the same, naginata anims and hit 4 times but it did damage

[hollow roost]

Someone didn't read the thread

[unreal brook]

what part of it did i miss lol

i knew femc was busted

[hollow roost]

check pins

[shrewd lily]

sick

[unreal brook]

can you put that in amicitia showcase lmao

[hollow roost]

huh why

[unreal brook]

because i did a release post there lmao

[hollow roost]

aint nobody checking there man

[unreal brook]

erm 🤓

i got a ping for it

[shrewd lily]

game booted fine we'll see when i equip a weapon

what is the amicita showcase

[hollow roost]

did you ever fix people being able to buy weapons early lmao

[shrewd lily]

it's in the notes lol

[hollow roost]

why bro not give me file

[shrewd lily]

why does this bot have to embed everything man

i just wanted to link the post

[unreal brook]

because i made it literally like, now

i'll send

[hollow roost]

oh LOL

you should send ye

i have like 6 joker anims left to import then i can put on gb

[unreal brook]

@hollow roost

[hollow roost]

[unreal brook]

lmk ahead of time because i might do gb page for refes then too

sync drop

[hollow roost]

im moving so i cant do shit until later this month at minimum

[unreal brook]

not a problem

[coral hornet]

Damn

[unreal brook]

@coral hornet @shrewd lily BGME is fixed, just needs manually updating it and ryo framework

[coral hornet]

Oh.

[shrewd lily]

yay

[unreal brook]

gb simply never got proper updates

you need to go to github

[coral hornet]

Alrighty

Although I wouldn't be able to play games for weeks so lmao

[glass patio]

Is there a toggle just to have the visual changes?

[unreal brook]

not yet because i want people to actually playtest the thing

you can manually go and delete every file if you really want

[glass patio]

Okie lol

[unreal brook]

ideally i'll have some configs inside the game itself, and some in R-II

not sure if absolutely everything can be configged because i dont wanna make ten trillion versions of every script

[glass patio]

Do you plan on having only the visual changes as a separate mod eventually?

[unreal brook]

ehhh maybe, it's all bundled into one package for convenience but some stuff i can maybe pull out

oh hey bgme is working with episode aigis now

i would've loved that while testing =w=

[coral hornet]

Daredevil on jonkler's the only way

[noble badger]

jonkler person 5

[digital bluff]

I don’t know if anyone asked before, but are you planning to port it to other languages? I love everything you changed—making it much closer to FES is amazing! I also really like the fatigue system and being able to break your social links, but the only issue for me is the language since I speak Spanish :c

Also, congratulations on your hard work!

[unreal brook]

localizing it would be quite difficult but i'm not against the idea

[digital bluff]

Oh, I see—I hope it can be done haha. I’d like to help if anyone else is interested too, since I don’t really know how to edit the text in p3r

https://tenor.com/view/ehe-anime-gif-anime-girl-teehee-gif-27178660

[shrewd lily]

it's pretty much the same as p5

you just need fmodel to unpack the paks

then you get the .uassets and you put them though scipt tools

then you get your .msg files

[coral hornet]

Now in terns of actually localizing, there's gonna be some research for that

[shrewd lily]

does localization framework work with p3r?

[coral hornet]

Probably going to have to research either FES spanish translation or P3P's conventions

[shrewd lily]

this mod changes the text? i thought it was just a gameplay thing

i mean i get the localization for things like skill names and such

[coral hornet]

Tutorial text like how tiredness is implemented and the other mechanics added would need localization

[shrewd lily]

ahhh you're right

i mean i imagine just using the tone of the p3r localization would be fine

[unreal brook]

it needs a ton of localization, there's new shops, new tutorials, new mechanics, it's a pseudo rerelease lol

[coral hornet]

Would need people to be willing to do it too

[shrewd lily]

yeah i don't speak spanish sooo

2d would be on their own

[coral hornet]

No one in Jp will care trust

[shrewd lily]

rip jp modders

[coral hornet]

I don't think those guys are interested in this kind of mod, also there's cases where mfs get cease and desist letters for showcasing mods there

[unreal brook]

sega eula allows it here but not there

i know jp mfs used p3hd though

they still do it they just dont talk about it anywhere

[coral hornet]

Like reasonable people

https://tenor.com/view/dog-meme-dog-meme-rage-silence-gif-8486653502855228557

[hollow roost]

Sega has officially taken actions on Japanese accounts showing off p3r mods lol

[unreal brook]

its weird tbh

why do they even allow it on west side

[hollow roost]

They nuked a Japanese channel translating update notes for femc mod into Japanese and showing them off. It was a single copyright claim on each video which ended up being like 17 strikes.

[shrewd lily]

companies in japan when someone makes a doujinshi and sells it:
companies in japan when someone makes a mod and makes no money off of it: cease and desist

[coral hornet]

Doujins are parodies I guess

And technically self made

Mods are uh, utilizing their property directly I guess?

[shrewd lily]

it 100% should be the reverse. the best way to go is "as long as they're not making money" but... companies are stupid

[coral hornet]

Clout

One up

Hey, as long as I can get ost mods, I'm happy

[civic haven]

dont think so, i think youd need to actually set up a pipeline to use it (like how persona essentials actively calls loc framework api)

[hexed acorn]

Because the west is the land of FREEDOM GRAAAHHHHHHHHH

https://tenor.com/view/sfm-soldier-tf2-meme-american-gif-24728385

[last frost]

Heyo. When deciding what skill to use, Arke's tactic logic will pick based on Arke's power values, so yeah your allies might not use their most optimal skill in ReFestival. And of course as previously stated, Arke's tactic logic assumes that theurgies pierce resistances, so you'll need to plan ahead for that.

[wise badge]

rip galf my goat

[shrewd lily]

hmmmm I see. I'll test out re festival's ai.

[crystal aspen]

doujinshi's based on existing properties are technically illegal

they're sold near exclusively at conventions and stuff like that they're not really meant to be doing it so they keep it hush hush

[coral hornet]

Yeah.

[crystal aspen]

seems to just be a cultural difference about how fanworks and mods are perceived. i've never seen a western game company get upset over mods but i've seen tons of Eastern ones take issue (sega seem to only be accepting of fanworks with sonic which has always been a more western focused franchise)

[coral hornet]

Some of them actively make it harder to do

[digital bluff]

Yeah, honestly yeah haha, and I think more than anything it would just take me a while since for now I’d be the only one doing it

https://tenor.com/view/jgmm-cat-meme-ragebait-cat-think-cat-ponder-gif-7034802297606826390

[flat current]

wasn't it always working 🤔

[flat current]

shouldn't be necessary in the first place

[coral hornet]

Before the update, yeah

[flat current]

oh yeah aside from the latest update

[coral hornet]

The balls

Got the jonkler mix fucked up

[unreal brook]

RBT was journey only for quite some time

thats what i meant

[coral hornet]

It was???

[unreal brook]

ye i wasnt able to play episode aigis with it

i was only getting the dlc tracks

[coral hornet]

That sucks

I just replaced last surprise with daredevil lol

[flat current]

ohhhh that's because BGME battle themes didn't have support for episode aigis

when I played episode aigis myself, I ended up making a PR for it bc I wanted random battle themes

do you remember when I asked you for the IDs for episode aigis encounters? it was related I'm pretty sure

[unreal brook]

ah

I'm fairly certain someone needs to reconfigure the gb page to fetch updates from github too because i had to manually catch up on a whole year of them

[flat current]

see typically it hasn't been an issue bc the updates go through GitHub not gamebanana

that's interesting

[unreal brook]

yes, but because the gb page is 2 years outdated someone who gets it from there actually gets cut off and doesnt receive updates

i only got a partial update notification and needed to manually fix like 2 of the dependencies

[flat current]

so the release on GB doesn't have GitHub as an update source?

[unreal brook]

seems not

bgme updated, but ryo didnt

and no ryo = crash

[flat current]

oof lol

[shrewd lily]

i'm guessing the 1.11.0 costume framework update fixes multiple weapons

[hollow roost]

yes

[shrewd lily]

https://tenor.com/view/kuruto-ryuki-ryuki-ai-the-somnium-files-aitsf-aini-gif-13894096093667973565

[shrewd lily]

the game crashes on load now

lemme grab my log

ok nvm it's not re:festival game crashes at load with it disabled. ignore i'll figure it out

it's costume framework

[coral hornet]

Most common culprit

[shrewd lily]

time to post a github issue

[hollow roost]

yeah this is new lmao

well at least it wasnt my pr

[shrewd lily]

someone else's pr?

[hollow roost]

ig the sig patch fix crashes?

[shrewd lily]

this is on 1.11.0

[hollow roost]

ill validate my files to make sure im on latest

[shrewd lily]

i posted the issue

[hollow roost]

look at r2 error and that github commit

[shrewd lily]

ah

[hollow roost]

@fair flicker hi im getting crashes too

oh this isnt p3r costume framework thread whoops

[shrewd lily]

yeah sorry i thought it was a re festival problem feel free to move there lol

[hollow roost]

well if you just disable costumes game should boot fine

[shrewd lily]

yep it idd

[fair flicker]

cf is fine, I just forgot to push an update for asyncassetloader

https://github.com/rirurin/p3rpc.asyncassetloader/releases/tag/1.0.1

[shrewd lily]

thanks i'll test this out

game loads

https://tenor.com/view/yes-yes-sir-yayy-kataman-gif-12260883688244422951

@fair flicker just so you know you don't have updates enabled for this

[fair flicker]

i'll add that rq

[shrewd lily]

rip the people who downloaded this before you added that

[unreal brook]

rip

[fair flicker]

i noticed that i've missed this from a couple of my dependencies

[shrewd lily]

even when reloaded gives you a warning that you don't have updates enabled...

[fair flicker]

i've never done it through reloaded's gui, i just manually edit modconfig on vscode

[shrewd lily]

i've found another person who prefers to just edit a json file

[fair flicker]

https://github.com/rirurin/p3rpc.asyncassetloader/releases/tag/1.0.2 this version includes update data

[shrewd lily]

it's subtle but the changes to the dorm are really nice

i still think it's hysterical they just took the fes dorm and upscaled it

[unreal brook]

parts of it are completely redone but yes there's copypasted stuff

[shrewd lily]

p3r never beating the rushed game allegations

[unreal brook]

i dont think 6 years is rushed but yea

[shrewd lily]

wait what

i had no idea it was 6 years

[civic haven]

ánd yet they still couldnt squeeze kotone in

[hollow roost]

They needed to take an extra 4 to make sure the dorm was as ugly as humanly possible.

[coral hornet]

True as fuck

[shrewd lily]

they needed more time because they had to learn how to fit aspects of t heir proprietary engine into a third party one instead of just using their proprietary engine

[hexed acorn]

Dev A: "Man, we've spent so much time making the dorm lighting look abysmally dogshit. But it still looks passable"

Dev B: "Fuck this shit bruh just remove the lighting altogether"

[shrewd lily]

lmaooo

i imagine that's exactly how it went

[coral hornet]

Let's be fr metaphor ran bad

I think if they stuck with it, it'd also run bad

[shrewd lily]

metaphor runs bad?

[coral hornet]

Vengeance runs awesome in comparison

[shrewd lily]

if anything p3r makes my graphics card's fans louder than metaphor

it makes my gpu almost 70 degrees 💀

[wise badge]

and not a single hand shake animation

[hexed acorn]

My fans were constantly making sounds of a jet whenever a 3d model appears on the screen

[wise badge]

riri you lurker

[coral hornet]

Yeah it did, dunno why but still do to me

[fair flicker]

not on this thread too

[shrewd lily]

your gpu is scared of ps3 graphics

[hexed acorn]

Idk maybe I just need to lower the threshold for when fans go 100% in bios

[coral hornet]

Vengeance running 165 hz 1080p and my gpu doesn't run much

Peak

[shrewd lily]

whenever i touch my fan curve i always make it worse somehow so i jsut let my system handle it

[coral hornet]

Maybe persona devs just suck ass at ports

[hexed acorn]

My GPU had no problem running MGS4 at double resolution and unlocked framerate

[wise badge]

inch resting

[shrewd lily]

metaphor has no compression whatsoever even though cripak has compression features

also everything is all in one cpk. and all of the languages are in it

[coral hornet]

The metaphor mfs are worse

Maniax team is the goat

[fair flicker]

that checks out, studio zero counts as persona devs

[coral hornet]

^

[shrewd lily]

isn't studio zero made up of old persona devs

[fair flicker]

yea

[coral hornet]

They basically reshuffle people in and out of departments tbh

[shrewd lily]

the only other studio i know that exists in atlus is the one that makes smt games

[hexed acorn]

I think this whole discussion shouldn't really be in Re:Festival mod thread

[shrewd lily]

i've said before that whenever i am somewhere i somehow manage to make everything go off topic. i'm liek a curse

[hexed acorn]

That's awesome skill

Cherish it

[shrewd lily]

at least this isn't like another server i'm in where the instant anything goes off topic the mods loom over your shoulder

[coral hornet]

All roads lead to shitting on the jonkler

[unreal brook]

Yeah i don't think this thread is the place to shit on the game, already derailed topic 3x

[toxic tiger]

hi i had a question is ReFestival compatible with the ReDub mod?

https://gamebanana.com/mods/631972

this one

[coral hornet]

This thingy doesn't change dialogue afaik

[glass patio]

Oh das me!

https://tenor.com/view/john-cena-hi-john-cena-hello-john-cena-hello-matt-cardona-john-cena-hello-nic-nemeth-john-cena-funny-gif-11780431350215484021

But yeah I think it’ll be fine

[unreal brook]

it should be ok

[toxic tiger]

Sweet

[wet jetty]

good thing I checked

do I have to update P3R
my internet has 3 gbs left or less

[coral hornet]

Technically no

[wet jetty]

alright

as I saw on steamdb its only an exe update

so probly denuvo stuff

[flat current]

I think all the broken mods have been fixed at this point no?

[coral hornet]

More or less

[toxic tiger]

dorm lighting is bright again?

prev update

original game

is there a reason it was made brighter?

[glass patio]

the Card animation in the menu is also broken

[unreal brook]

the lighting didn't change, just the texture of the wall being reverted to its original reload version

there were complaints that the walls looked extremely dirty near the ceiling which I agree with as they faded out since FES never made it visible

[unreal brook]

not caused by this mod

[glass patio]

was for me lmao

lemme reinstall and see again

[unreal brook]

it's not caused by this mod, it's literally impossible

a dependency like multiple weapons is probably doing it

[unreal brook]

i could try to see if i can do something about the wall, but this is sorta unacceptable

[glass patio]

For some reason it was, I tested it, I also don't have multiple weapons installed (just playing for the map changes)

[unreal brook]

idk thats literally not possible lol

[toxic tiger]

honestly atp i think you should change the color

[unreal brook]

i dont edit any models, animations, etc

[toxic tiger]

they really messed up the dorm lighting (by having none)

[glass patio]

I legit don't know what else could be doing it, Its the only thing making it happen lmao

it's fine with it off

[unreal brook]

idk what to tell you, refes is all tables and bf/bmd edits

it literally cannot affect menus

feel free to delete the mod's files one by one until you find a culprit but idk

[glass patio]

found it

it was UE4SS

[unreal brook]

that's a dependency

[glass patio]

for this mod

[unreal brook]

@hollow roost

[glass patio]

I removed it from the list and it worked lol

[unreal brook]

for multiple weapons

refes works without ue4ss

[hollow roost]

That'd be multiple weapons not ue4ss

As multiple weapons uses skel fix

[glass patio]

it's listed as one lol

[hollow roost]

which bugs card out

[glass patio]

I don't have multiple weapons installed lmao

[hollow roost]

Well it installed skel fix

[unreal brook]

If multiple weapons is a refes dependency and ue4ss is a multiple weapons dependency, ue4ss becomes a refes dependency by proxy

LMFAO

[glass patio]

Looks like doing this fixed it lmao, why label it like this lol

[hollow roost]

Because your menu will now be broken

[unreal brook]

femc completely shits herself in menu without that iirc

oh its all menus?

[hollow roost]

yes

including makoto

and aigis

aigis is actually broken anyway but idgaf about ea so i never fixed

[glass patio]

having it off breaks the menu lol

[hollow roost]

If its not breaking menu its not working period

[glass patio]

having it as False breaks the menu, True fixes it lmao

[hollow roost]

No it doesn't

[unreal brook]

i feel like this is good enough?

[glass patio]

I deadass saw it do it with my own eyes lmao, lemme record a vid lol

[toxic tiger]

the color still looks weird to me

but it doesnt look dirty

at least

[unreal brook]

it'll make more sense in game

second pass on the right

[glass patio]

@hollow roost

[unreal brook]

vs vanilla

[hollow roost]

The menu is broken as fuck with it off man

I see everything ever dying in that second boot

But also not the place to spam this stuff this be meovvs mod thread

[glass patio]

Sorry lmao

[unreal brook]

this is fixed to you?

bro

[glass patio]

oh lmao

[unreal brook]

open the equipment menu

shits broken as fuck

worse than the card

[glass patio]

I've made a severe lapse in my judgement

thanks for the hand anyways guys lmao

[unreal brook]

[unreal brook]

@hollow roost while you're here and i cook the asset for the wall is there any fuckery you can think of that would emulate darker lighting like the previous version of refes but without making it look like there's black mold everywhere

[hollow roost]

You'd probably need to counter-act the scuffs and marks atlus has on the wall texture and make it look basically pristine

Then you could darken it

It's not the actual brightness level of the texture making it look dirty, its the actual marks on the wall compounded by it being darker

[unreal brook]

ppl took issue with this part

since, well, yeah, the scuffs

[hollow roost]

I only really see the issue with everything under the pitch black bit

It looks like streaks of gunk coming from the pitch black

Make it squeaky clean

[unreal brook]

atp i may as well just use reload's texture with similar grading like im doing now

[wise badge]

black mold

[unreal brook]

wtf am i tripping

this is modded right

the wall

oh

the ubulk

💀

meh

what if fake darkness gradient

[coral hornet]

Mold is lore accurate actually

Some stupid ass squirrels can get in, why not mold

[shrewd lily]

oh happ birthday doors

yeah i'dtotally believe it's fucking moldy lol

[coral hornet]

it was two days ago but thank you

[shrewd lily]

LMAO

[unreal brook]

attempt 2

[coral hornet]

You know those unmaintained bathroom stalls

That's the vibes this is giving

[unreal brook]

funny how it actually looks like AO kinda

oh right lmao i turned off AO

anyway dont set the game's brightness/contrast up shit makes it crunched up as fuck

Re Festival v.0.1.1

• Improved the visuals of Iwatodai Dorm with a new wall texture.

Alternate versions of the wall texture are included:

fullbright_T_F102_102_Wall01 - A version of the new texture that doesn't darken the ceiling edge.

PS2_T_F102_102_Wall01 - The straight port of the wall texture from Persona 3 FES, which was used in Re Festival Beta 1.

To use these textures you can rename the files in p3r.v.refestival\UnrealEssentials\P3R\Content\Xrd777\Field\Resource\F102\102_Dormitory and see which one you prefer. The final version of the mod will likely only include the overall preferred version.

for reference

lmao mudkip just doesn't care

[coral hornet]

Maybe my screen just sucks but I can't see much difference

[unreal brook]

it's definitely noticeable on my monitors

[civic haven]

bottom right

[last frost]

Bottom left corresponds to (No dark edge) in the voting right?

[unreal brook]

ye

[flat current]

could always add r2 config options for things like textures

would be pretty easy to do, and I think options are nice

pretty sure there's a way to do it codeless now but I've always done it with code personally...

[unreal brook]

reason i havent done configs is because i want the full mod being playtested and that kinda requires having the full mod be used by the people that use it

[civic haven]

remix toolkit

[flat current]

this 97 yo persona modder still does code configs the old fashioned way

[civic haven]

i prefer to use code if i need code for something else anyway and remix otherwise

[unreal brook]

Well damn

[unreal brook]

Probably gonna get working on a GB page and toggle configs for mod soon

[glass patio]

nice
