I see the go-to render option most people use is DHH, but what about SEGI?

These images are rendered in 8K, so direct link will allow you to open them up in it's actual size.

so whats in the modpack?
As the name implies, it is a pack of mods, more specifically for the studio.

Pro tip: The '[ScrewThisNoise] Illusion Uploader RIP/AI Shoujo Cards/female/' folder has 15,582 cards in it when you download and unpack it.
Warning, the rip file is a massive 103GB unpacked.

SEGI seems to be a bit dark to me.

Any news on VR?
Nope, at least not on the official channels.

Hi. How do you make a girl Depende or is there a mod to do that?

Thanks.
It occasionally fills the bar if you talk actively or go into a conversation and leave without saying anything. Other than that, you'll have to look it up.

Yikes. I used the file selection options in my torrent client to only download the AIS stuff. The 15,582 female cards are in one zipfile that's only 1.92GB packed, and 2.24GB unpacked. There's also about 1000 AIS housing (01,02, and 03) maps which are around only ~100MB total.

Yeah, I play pretty much every game included in the pack, so I downloaded the whole thing

On another note, not necessarily directed at anyone, I just got my first girl coming to my room event, just the one where she pops in for a second to sate her loneliness, and it was just too freaking adorable. Obviously, it will be different for different girls, but it was the cutest thing I've seen in a while in an Illusion game in my case. EDIT: It seems there are multiple variations in dialogue for this particular event and the frequency seems to be pretty high. There also seems to be a bug with the indicator of the event type. Occasionally, it will indicate an H scene in your room and then she will just pop in as she did the first time. It may be that it is actually trying, but her arousal isn't high enough.

Thanks but I'll rather use the online card editor. Strange that broken a girl is far more easier than make her depende.

Thanks for the demo, dude. Liking your shots btw!

Unsure if it's your contrast or ambient occlusion settings, but the SEGI screens don't seem like much of an improvement to me - each image looks a bit dark and washed-out.

The Repacks come with both DHH AND GraphicsMod, I tend to recommend DHH to new players as it's a little more user-friendly and a lot of people just want improved graphics as quick as they can get them.
But for me, as a massive dork for lighting scenes(!), I'll probably be sticking with GraphicsMod, I think. Not only for the amount of customisation you can apply with the post-processing, but the amount of control it gives you over your light sources.

I've never heard of the SEGI mod before, but DHH alone is more than enough more me to handle at the moment hahah. From what I can see, the preset for the DHH fits the characters in the shots better. I think the SEGI preset would look better with more realistic looking characters though.

which map is that btw if you dont mind me asking?

Is it possible to play it on mac??? Wine???
Finally got the R3 HS2 repack working on PopOS so thought I would share, I used Lutris but steps should be transferable to cli wine with winetricks.

Base game will run fine without problems (using lutris-5.7-x86_64), but there will be no translation or mods (including uncensor).

Not sure exactly which steps are absolutely necessary as I'm not a wine guru but this is what I did.

To get the mods working I had to first enable both DXVK and Esync in runner options, then add two DLL overrides 'winhttp=n,p' and 'UnityPlayer=n,p'

That will let you run HoneySelect2.exe but to run initSettings.exe you have to install a few things with winetricks.

open winetricks and install d3dcompilier_47, dotnet45, dotnetcore2

I also installed allfonts but not sure if that's necessary (and have mono installed locally).

Thats it then InitSettings.exe should run, I got a black screen but rolling over where the buttons should be makes then visible and they all work, once the actual game starts everything works flawlessly.

Happy Linux gaming :)

IIRC there should be dependency slider in the cheat menu. F12 is the hot key I think.
He's trying to raise it normally from what I can tell.

Good, so it wasn't just me that thought the SEGI screenshots were a bit on the dark side.

can somebody explain to me exactly what is the sideload mod? but, i mean, exactly exactly
Addon-mods that do not replace the original files. However, i cannot tell you what's inside them because i don't have the energy for that.

is there a reliable source to download the original game?
Just download the repack and hit the .bat in the main folder that says "vanillify the game", if that's what you meant.

Does the most recent version have uncensored futa main characters yet?
I think so. I do remember seeing a post that said that the futa dick was fixed.

Need help, there's no sound. Turned all the sound settings and reinstalled it still nothing. Ty in advance
See if it isn't muted from the volume mixer for whatever reason.

multiple variations in dialogue
shutupandtakemymoney.jpg

Why not have short and simple interactive VNs that run in HS2 using just cards, associated dialogue files, and the pre-existing generic locations? Expand the pre- and post- sex conversations (either one girl monologues or two girls talk in front of silent protagonist perhaps), and to progress the story increase the characters H-levels.

So the MTL was passable? I've generally been waiting and avoiding these events, but that sounds promising.

Care to elaborate for a non-lighting dork? I’ve stuck with DHH since AIS simply because 1) I thought/assumed it was the superior option, 2) it tamed the glaring sun and allowed for quick changes in constantly changing day and night conditions. One preset for dawn/twilight, one for midday, and so on. I assume Graphicsmod has presets as well, but I picked DHH first and never went back. Then I stuck with what I knew when jumping from the island to the harem hotel.

But now that HS2 is mostly indoor, artificially lit locations with no innate lighting changes during a scene, I feel like it is time to take more control, even if simply to add more individuality and options to each location. Dim romantic lighting in the bedrooms, red light district style for the lobby, harsh fluorescents for the toilets, lightning in the rainy backyard, etc. Plus it adds some spice and variety to your usual girls seeing them in unusual lighting conditions and varying levels of, uh, slickness.

If I’m going to invest a couple hours bringing myself up to speed in the lighting department you would suggest Graphicsmod over DHH? I don’t really use studio (yet) if that makes a difference.


(...and +1 to DHH looks better than SEGI, sorry, but for this type of game I prefer the warmer palette and fewer shadows even at the expense of realism. If this was a non-porn game, then SEGI hands down.)
