Hey guys I am new to this whole honey select business, so I am a little confused. Please do help me out.
On page 350 or so of this discussion screwthisnoise posted links for version dx R5 but the links on page 1 have not been updated. Any particular reason for that?

Also while looking around I just realised that instead of downloading the latest version available from scratch it's better if I just download the first one and then use the updaters to go from version to version. Atleast from what I understood of how updating works this seems to require a lot less data and space. Cause these updating files are all under 1 gb, meanwhile the whole game versions are pushing 40 gb

If a new update doesn't get reported to somebody with the power to update the thread links, the links don't get updated. Updating the way you mention still requires that 40GB, it just doesn't download it all at once. You would be getting it little by little through each update.

I see, thanks for clearing that up about the links. And yeah I guess the size is more or less same, the difference is of 3-4 gb at best.

HS2_2021-09-05-20-03-16-392.png

I just downloaded HS2 today (the base version only, it is big enough already without the optional stuff.) And this is the first scene I created in it, but how do I fix this weird scattering effect on the hairs?

Does anyone know how to change FOV in H scenes? The default value is far from optimal and unlike previous Illusion games, HS2 does not offer a simple option in the settings. I've looked everywhere (on the internet), checked all the configurable game files and I still can't find the solution. There's an option to adjust FOV in POV plugin, but that only works for POV mode. Any Unity experts here? I'm on DX R3.1.
I posted that msg about 8 months ago, also asked on Github/requested for the feature to be added - no response. Has anything changed lately? Any new plugins maybe, which offer Field of View adjustments?

Unlimited is a version of Honey Select 1, this is Honey Select 2. It is a sequel, not a new version of the same game. As far as whether it is the Japanese version, yes, since that's the only one that exists right now, but it has everything necessary for a non-Japanese speaker to play.

Is downloading the optional sideloader necessary? Its freakin 59.6 GB!!!
The key word there is OPTIONAL ;)

If you're looking to play with StudioNeo the sideloader is mostly assets and maps for that, if you're just planning on playing the base game, you can avoid this.

Should I have "Enable GraphicsMod" checked? Or "DHH?"
You can only have one or the other active.

DHH is the "fast and dirty" way of improving the look of your game, fairly simple to use

GraphicsMod is a bit more advanced and has a ton of features, but is more in-depth.

NOTE: If you intend to use Hanmen's NextGen skins (or load cards that use that texture) you will need to use GraphicsMod and have SSS enabled. The texture does not work with DHH.

Better ;)

Firstly, you'll want to check what AA settings you're using. By default the RePack will use AA settings based on what graphics mode you're using (DHH OR GraphicsMod), but will also have a Plugin called Better AA running as well. Disabling Better AA is usually your best bet for improving the look of hairs and textures like the fur on her coat and the weave on pantyhose.

You might also want to check which Hair Rendering type is active on the card itself - Find this at the bottom of the Hair tab in the character creator - save to update the card. Personally I tend to find that Type 02 is better-looking and less diffused than Type 01.

Bear in mind some of the hairs don't render all that great at the best of times, but disabling Better AA, then adjusting the overall AA settings for whichever graphics mode you're running will get the best results. Or at the very least improve the overall look for you.

Hey thanks for replying I will try this out but I don't see this effect in real time, only when I tried to render a screenshot using F11 did this show up. Hope it still helps with that. Also how do I go about doing what you said? Can't find any setting regarding these things in studio neo

Pressing F1 either in the main game or Studio brings up the Plugin menu.

You can enable/disable Better AA from there. A lot of your settings will come down to personal preference and adjusting your individual settings.

As I mentioned, hairs can sometimes just look bad regardless. You can lower the quality or adjust the type of AA you want to improve the overall look of the hairs, but you will likely lose definition elsewhere.

Ran a little test to see for myself (Using GraphicsMod - Better AA OFF)

Overall, and without playing with any other settings, I right away found that FXAA works better for hairstyles than SMAA or TAA. You'll have to open the screenshots and view them fullscreen to see what I mean - particularly with this hair around the scalp/hairline:

TAA
StudioNEOV2 2021-09-06 13-09-14.png

SMAA
StudioNEOV2 2021-09-06 13-09-34.png

FXAA
StudioNEOV2 2021-09-06 13-09-37.png

You might have different results if you're using DHH, but half of this game (including finding the right graphical settings) is a bit of a struggle to find what works for you :)
