Sorry for this patch being so late in the month. Had a little too much fun working on environment, torso leg animation split and directional swings and block system for "HRT2."
This is a somewhat small HR2 that adds post Newbie Tournament story content. It includes 6 new fights: against Claire, Anna, Diana, a randomly generated opponent, Wolfie and then finally Nya-Chan.
A new feature in this patch is the ability to directly refer to the exported character cards as opponent. So for the 5 new non-rng generated opponents, you can find the character cards in the versus mode /random_char_folder/ folder.
Speaking of /random_char_cards/ folder, there has been a change on how those work. In previous versions, cards placed there will sometimes influence the randomly generated outfits of randomly generated character. That feature still exists, but the folder is located in versus_mode/random_outfit_cards/ folder.
Cards placed in the /random_char_cards/ folder may be selected for exhibition opponents. However, no randomization is done*. Whats include in the character card will be used exactly.
There are two things to note. First, exhibition missions have a level cap, so a low level mission will not select any of the characters with level that is too high. Secondly, if the level of the mission is above the level of the character, the character may get assigned randomly generate level ups.
There are a couple of quality of life features as well.
The first is the ability to quick save to currently used save slot:
Game will now ask for confirmation when saving to a different save slot:
These 2 features together should reduce the amount of "I overwrote my save" complaints.
The game now tracks which (mod) folder Grabs and Outfits are from, to make it easier to manage for players with lots of mods.
Changelog:
Added "Quick Save" option to Data for quickly save to currently used save slot
Added a confirmation popout when saving to a different save slot than currently used
Changed how "random_char_folder" works: instead of using char cards placed there to help with random outfit generation, placed cards there can appear as exhibition opponent exactly as in the card
Added "random_outfit_folder": same behavior as "random_char_folder" previously
Made the story matches until the end the Newbie Tournament easier
Added 6 new fights post the Newbie Tournament: against Claire, Anna, Diana, a random opponent, Wolfie and then Nya-Chan
Story mission now gives credits (a fairly large sum in total)
Moved the random_outfit_card folder from base" folder to "versus_mode"
Added a few more cards to random_outfit_card folder
Added mod folder source tracking for Outfits and Grabs. In Dresser/H-Lab, you can hover over the options to see which mod folder they are loaded from.
Removed Block + Dir key to initiate a dash because moving while blocking is now a possibility
Fixed expr_ko_face tongue problems
Fixed some bugs that caused low level AIs, level 1 and level 2 in particular, to be way better than intended
Fixed only 1 opponent is recruitable after winning a 2v2 exhibition match
Fixed loading save that has story dialogue at start could softlock the game
Emissive color is no longer randomized as it is more likely to generate very poor (although somewhat funny) result than good ones
