the path is:

Add/Item/Base/Environmet/Cave

Or you may type the "cave" in the Find box (shown in red circle)

Thanks a lot. Turns out it is because of the untranslated items in hs2 studio neov2. If I type cave in hs2, I can not find that cave. Must type the japanese kanji/chinese letter for it to show up. Just now I just installed Aishoujo out of curiosity of the gameplay and dang I can find it easily in the studio neov2. I really did not expect the Aihoujo's studio neov2 will be so different from hs2's.

Glad to hear (read) you've succeeded!!
The search box not only search for the exact item name but the category or the author's name. most of time I don't even know who made some item, so my first thougt is to type the name, in this case, cave, if not find, next type the category, in this case, envyronment and so. but how to know which and how many categories are in the game? only experience can tell.

Hit me up if you have another question. ;)

Hi!
Not the EXACT Ino you want, but you can play along with the sliders to get your desirable honey. Take a look:

NOTE! DO NOT DOWNLOAD THESE CARDS FROM HERE! DOWNLOAD FROM THE BELOW ATTACHED WINRAR FILE INSTEAD

My humble advice:
If you are unhappy about the cards you found on the web, maybe you need to start to make your own cards, Pick one and try to improve it untill you build a skill. not allways gonna be the EXACT card taylored to your own tastes.

I couldn’t find the help I was looking for on Discord, so I’m trying my luck here. I'm using the presets in Advanced Mode for more realistic facial expressions, but most characters' eyelashes get messed up. Is there a way to fix this issue?

Uncheck "link eye components" And adjust the eyelashes from the eyelashes section. Some eyelashes are not linked correctly for some reason, or maybe the presets are doing something weird with them.

Anyone know if there's a way to have the scene selector menu sort alphabetically/by name rather than by newest?

Replying to/Quoting myself here, but I decided that enough was enough and created my own plugin to solve this minor annoyance. I've tested it out (myself) a bunch and it seems to work exactly as I need it, and it doesn't seem to conflict with anything. This is my very first plugin, so if anyone else can test this out and let me know if it works well for them, I'd be quite pleased. I've attached the zip.

1754653290775.png

Here's what the readme.txt says:


HS2_SceneSortSelector is a simple plugin with 5 settings. I've tried my best to visually match it to other popular plugins loaded at the scene selection menu. The GUI shouldn't corrupt or conflict with other plugins (I hope) as it's fairly isolated.

This plugin doesn't require anything outside of the standard install for HS2, except maybe HS2API.dll. (Which you probably already have)


To install HS2_SceneSortSelector, simply drop the included BepInEx folder into your Honey Select 2 game directory. The final path should look something like "...\Honey Select 2\BepInEx\Plugins\HS2_SceneSortSelector.dll"


--------------------------------------------------------

Order Scenes by Name - Orders the scenes in the selector by alphabetical order.
Order Scenes by Date Modified - Orders the scenes in the selector by the most recent edit. (This is the default setting without the plugin)

Refresh Scenes After Changing Sort Order - Enabling this forces a refresh when you pick one of the two above options. This is necessary if you want the arrangement to immediately update. You should probably have this on unless you're somehow experiencing lag.
Enable Verbose Logging - Enabling this turns on a bunch of log messages tied to the use/functionality of this plugin. Only really necessary for troubleshooting, and disabling it otherwise can help with performance somewhat.
Lock Window Position - Enabling this prevents you from dragging the window. The window can be positioned freely when this is disabled.

--------------------------------------------------------






Configurations (including position) are stored in the BepInEx\Config\com.neunpli.hsscenesortselector.cfg file. These settings persist between sessions.


This plugin (HS2_SceneSortSelector) was created by Neunpli. It was created with no intent to restrict distribution and with no intention of receiving payment. You may freely use this plugin however you wish, post it anywhere you like, and include it in any bundles or installation packages that you desire.

This plugin version is 1.0.0.






EDIT: THIS PLUGIN HAS BEEN UPDATED! Get the updated version here:

Godsend plugin.
You might want to share it in the discord server too.

Is there a universal skirt bone that I can use to move skirts in a certain way? I'm trying to make a scene involving a skirt but I can't find anything skirt related in the advanced bone mod?

Is it possible to mix 2 maps together? I was hoping the "import" button in the scene load menu fulfilled that function but when I click that I get an instant beep sound effect and nothing actually happens. do I need to mod for this? and If so can someone point me to some resources for this.

You can't mix two maps.
Importing scene doesn't import the map. It only import the stuff in the workspace.
It doesn't even import the character selection in the item+ menu.

They're made or imported to Blender (most likely) and then ported to the studio with hoo's modding tool.

Hi!
As AmaNo04 said, it is not possible, however you can add some item from other maps, example you can load a Hooh school map, right?, then search for the maps "stuff" in items menu, you will find out school items like chairs, desks, and so. the same for AiLegend maps, some items are from other maps.
I can imagine you need some stuffs from others maps, right?

I was hoping to add a shop map into a city map, mostly for background deco and a feeling of continuity. it's ok I'll think of something else

before you give up I've a few suggestions to try as I've come across this while trying to answer this very question.
1) A lot of the maps are available as scenes. Example is ailegend's stuff. You can actually get some of his maps from like kemono. Some maps also found in bepis. Basically you open up the map you want then import the map "scene" and it can be moved around at will.
2) There are actually maps in the items folder. Like full maps and buildings. I've not got access to my game files right now so can't give you exact names but there's a whole bunch of stuff in there. Building, street scenes, even an entire city I've come across.
3) This one I've not personally been able to work, mostly through lack of trying, but it is possible to use essentially pull the whole map out of the zipmod. I'm not sure how aside that it uses the hooh tools mentioned above.

I updated a bunch of mods and plugins, and some new features overwrote "i" as a hotkey, which fluid mod uses. I cleared the ones using i in the f1 settings, but i no longer functions for fluid mod. How can I restore it? I deleted com.dxkdlxc.plugin.fluid.cfg but I still can't open fluid config anymore.

Have you checked the shortcut in F1 menu?
