When I learned that they were going to use the AI Girl engine, I had hopped that they would at least give us the option to free roam around the hotel, still kind of disappointed about that.
and do what exactly.
lurk!
So I'm updating my game with HS2 graphics but having a little trouble with 2 things:
1. Does anybody know if it's possible to record videos in studio with a transparent background?
2. Any fix for fairy wings disappearing when taking screenshots in studio or character creator with transparent background?
Thanks in advance!
i was looking for something similar earlier but i couldn't find video/image sequence capture with transparent bg. it is simply because the "videoexport" plugin and all other tools that captures screenshots/or video image sequences are doing it externally, it is similar to pressing the "print screen" button on your keyboard, everything appears on screen will be captured in that screenshot. in the other hand, "screenshot manager" plugin which is part of the "BepisPlugins" actually works within the the engine (the studio in this case) and render the objects, shaders, light ..etc in to an image. now the problem is that it only render 1 image and not a sequence which is not what you are looking for. hopefully it will be added in the future, not sure if anybody has requested this feature from
DeathWeasel yet.
if you wish to view the screenshot manager's settings and menu, press (F1) then search for it, you will notice while hovering over the "alpha" section that it requires you to use an image BG, so it will capture the characters, items and objects but not the map (unless the map used in scene is actually a studio item?)
so, i thought of a workaround but it requires allot more than a click of a button and you have to be skilled in video editing/compositing:
use a high contrast and solid color as the BG space color like those in chromas and record the video using whatever tool u like in multiple phases (at least two, one for the character's alone and the second for the map), use the chroma technique while recording the first video and record the second one normally. then you have to take those two videos to a video editing program like "after effect or final cut pro" and deal with the as a transparent negative space (i am sure that there are tons of plugins and tutorials on how to empty a chroma space for video editing applications if you google it). then put and edit those two videos on top of each other in the same project and render the final video as pleased.
now i know that this process can be a drag but it is the only way i can think of. i dont recommend it unless what you are doing is worth it
.
you also have to keep a couple of things in mind when it comes to working with chromas:
-both videos used has to be precise and compatible, they should have the same duration and camera/angle movement if there is any.
-when you capture the video with chroma, you should disable any DOF, bloom, blure, the vintage screen effect or anything that will give you HELL while removing that chroma color on video editing.
-chroma color used should be unique and the characters do not have a similar color in them. (ex. don't use a pink chroma if your character has the exact same pink or close in hue, brightness and contrast).
i downloaded the 25 gig version as i had a bug in my previous honey select game after an update. now i am even more confused than before as i have to realize that the link for R5 is not honey select 2 game. its a free roam around a school game with anime graphics. unpacked its 70 gigs !
i simply want the newest repack of hs2. i noticed that a lot of people playing hs2 r5. it just seems a bit difficult to find it on the internet... 4.1 update broke my game with ugly skin bugs... so i need that hotfix from r5. i am correct in my assessment that links for repack 5 as hs2 are not available on this website at this point ?
sorry to hear that you are experiencing allot of troubles, even downloaded another game ^^' i will try to explain and clear this whole confusion:
ILLUSION studio released HONEY SELECT2. the modding community created allot of plugins, mods translations and tools so everybody can have a better time and experience playing it. these modders released their mods like..literally all over the internet. ScrewThisNoise took the trouble to gather these mods, organized them, optimized them and tested them, then repacked them in to one package called "HS2 BetterRepack" so people like me and you can grab it and install more easily. now the ILLUSION released multiple updates to the game, and the modderes kept on modding even more mods, and we demand to have these additions right? so ScrewThisNoise released multiple versions to include all those updtes and new mods in form of R1, R1.1, R2 al the way to R5 ("R" stands for "repack"). typically, you need to have the older version of something in order to update in to a new one right?
now this is exactly what it is <-----------
but if you just got in to the game, lost your game folder, or just wish to have the latest "Better Repack" that includes everything been released by him, he provided an "all-in-one" download link for an up to date repack version (R5 Full pack currently)
use this link to his mega that will take you exactly to the (HS2 better repack R5 FINAL):
You must be registered to see the links
then, download and install the (R5.0.1) hot fix posted here in this post:
https://f95zone.to/threads/honey-select-2-libido-r4-1-illusion.53457/post-4434597
and you are done
.
PS: the update button you find in InitSetting.exe
does not update a "Repack" version, it only update those mods and plugins that are included in, a repack version will require a manual installation (ex. R4 to R5).
