FPS Counter v2.1

An FPS Counter plugin for BepInEx 5.0 or later. It can accurately measures true ms spent per frame and time spent in each of the installed BepInEx plugins.

What's new?

Fairly large performance improvement. The plugin no longer slows down the game when the counter is turned off, and when the counter is visible it runs much faster.

How to use

1. Install BepInEx 5.0 or newer.
2. Extract the release into your game root, the .dll should end up in BepInEx\plugins directory.
3. Start the game and press U + LeftShift.

The on/off hotkey and looks can be configured in the config file in bepinex\config (have to run the game at least once to generate it), or by using BepInEx.ConfigurationManager.

KK_QuickAccessBox v2.1

Plugin for CharaStudio (part of Koikatu / Koikatsu Party) that adds a quick access list for searching through all of the items, both stock and modded. The plugin comes with thumbnails for the items, unlike the original studio interface. It's also instant and has low resource footprint, no need to wait for menus to open. 

What's new?

This release is now a BepInEx 5.0 plugin (thanks to Keelhauled). It also brings fixes and optimizations, including a fairly big speedup of Studio startup (around 2 seconds). Missing thumbnails have been added for the latest Studio sideloader modpack.

How to use

1. Make sure your game is updated and has at least BepInEx v5.0, BepisPlugins r11.2.1 and KKAPI v1.4 installed.  (If you installed HF Patch v2.10 you already have everything necessary) 
2. To get proper translations for the items, get the latest English translations and install latest XUnity.AutoTranslator. (If you installed HF Patch v2.10 you already have everything necessary)
3. Extract contents of the archive into your game's directory (the .dll file should end up inside your BepInEx/plugins folder).
4. Start CharaStudio.exe. Once fully loaded in try pressing Ctrl+Space combination and the box should appear. There also should be a "Search" button at the middle left edge of the screen.

HF Patch for Koikatsu v2.10 / コイカツ！自動更新

A patch for Koikatu! and Koikatsu Party with all free updates, fan-made English translations and essential mods. It will allow you to load all character cards and scenes and give you countless gameplay improvements while still keeping the original, uncluttered feel of the game.

HF Patch does not contain the full game, paid expansions or any other pirated content. You have to buy the game and expansions separately.

「コイカツ」のための無料アップデートと必要な改造すべてを含むパッチ。それはほとんどあらゆる取付けを更新し、修理できる。ゲームや有料の拡張は含まれていません。あなたはゲームと拡張を別々に購入しなければなりません。

Downloads / ダウンロード

• This version is outdated, look for a new version here
• Direct download: https://mega.nz/#F!UNcBFCxb!Mv34WxOQzexpQ0fi3Y0WiA 

Downloading via torrent is recommended. The patch is larger than the standard mega download limit, so you will have to wait to finish downloading (unless you have an account). Torrent is also much less likely to become corrupted and can be easily restarted.

WARNING: This release has some known issues. After installing HF Patch, follow these instructions:

• Update to BepisPlugins r13 and the latest Resource Redirector or AutoTranslator (download either XUnity.AutoTranslator-BepIn-5x-4.7.0 or XUnity.ResourceRedirector-BepIn-5x-1.1.0).
• Update MoreAccessories (replace the old version inside the BepInEx\plugins folder). 
• Remove KKUS.dll if you have Koikatu Party.

Before installing check this installation guide and FAQ. It was made for the Steam release (Koikatsu Party) but most of it applies to the Japanese release as well.

If you need any help, check the wiki, visit the Koikatsu Discord server and ask in the #help channel, or ask in comments under this post.

Patcher changes / 変更  

• Consolidated game patches and translations into single options.

• Remove KoikatuVR if it's installed in KK Party (install the KK Party VR addon instead).

AI-Shoujo Reverse Trap v1.0

This is a completely new plugin for AI-Shoujo / AI-Girl / AI-Syoujyo that makes it possible to change animations of a female character to those of a male. This makes it look like some girls are actually guys when walking around (check the second preview picture to see a changed running animation).

The animations are changed in main game and in maker, not in studio. Animations are changed per-character, you can configure this in character maker in the Body > Overall tab.

How to use

• To install copy the .dll to BepInEx\plugins.
• Needs at least BepInEx 5.0 and the newly released AIAPI v1.9.4. The latest game patch is also recommended.
• Start character maker and go to the Body > Overall tab. You should see a new "Male walking animations" toggle, like in the preview picture.
• To change this feature in a character that you already added to your save, you have to find a character change terminal and edit the character there.

Big thanks to the members of the RoR2 modding community that helped with this release!

Plugin updates for AI-Shoujo / AI-Girl (mostly)

These updates mainly fix existing issues and new issues introduced by the latest AI-Shoujo update. There are also some minor, non-critical fixes for other games.

This is the last update before HF Patch for AI-Shoujo. Sorry it took so long, but I wanted everything to be reasonably stable before moving on from fixing things.

The plugin fix updates will most likely slow down quite a bit now, at least until Illusion releases a patch that breaks things again. With that out of the way, there should be some completely new plugin releases coming.

Download links (and full changelogs)

• BepisPlugins r12.4
• Illusion Modding API (AIAPI) v1.9.2
• IllusionFixes v1.6.1

BepInEx.ConfigurationManager v15.0

This release brings performance and usability improvements. The manager window no longer slows down the game if you have a lot of plugins installed, and it's easier to browse the settings thanks to changes of the setting list.

Works with any game running on BepInEx 5 #161 or newer. For installation and plugin development instructions check the readme.

IllusionOverlayMods v5.1 and ABMX v3.5 for AIS, EC and KK

Updates of overlay and bone mods for AI-Shoujo, EmotionCreators and Koikatsu. Everything is now compatible with latest BepInEx and game patch versions.

All variants are now on the same source code versions, which means that all versions have the latest fixes and improvements. This is most noticeable with the EmotionCreators which fell behind quite a bit on updates.

I also renamed repositories to Illusion-Overlay-Mods and ABMX because these plugins are no longer only for Koikatsu. I also renamed the KKAPI repository to IllusionModdingAPI. These changes have no practical effect since all old links will still work properly.

AIAPI / KKAPI / ECAPI v1.9

This update fixes issues with plugins losing their data in some places in AI-Shoujo. For example overlays and bonemod data were lost when adding new girls in main game, or when changing clothes in maker and studio.

The upcoming AIABMX update will be required to fully fix the data being loaded from clothes cards in AIS (it's a unique ABMX bug).

The update also adds new APIs to studio, they will be used by upcoming UncensorSelector update to add ability to change uncensors per-character in KK and AI studio.

Download and view full changelog 

IllusionFixes v1.6 - major fixes for AI-Shoujo

This time it's a chunky update. I added three new plugins for AIS and one new studio plugin for KK. This time EC also gets a minor update to CultureFix.

New plugins

• InvalidSceneFileProtection (for KK and AIS studio)
  Adds error handling to scene loading and importing. If a scene is invalid or from the wrong game version then a message is shown and the studio doesn't crash (extra fun when it crashed when importing and you didn't save in hours).

• AI_Fix_LoadingFixes
  Fixes some studio scenes failing to load (sometimes you can't load the scene you've just saved with the stock game, many scenes on uploader are like this). Also fixes color picker breaking in maker because of a similar issue.
• AI_Fix_NewGameShowAllCards
  Fixes downloaded character cards not appearing in the New Game character selection (so you don't have to go to maker and re-save them).

Other changes

• Converted culture fix to a preloader patch - Improves compatibility, fixes some plugins potentially breaking if the culture is not fixed in time (e.g. Sideloader).
• Keelhauled made some major changes to how references are handled in the repository. If you want to compile the code it should be much easier to do now (check readme for instructions).

Download 

How to install

1. Install the latest build of BepInEx and latest release of BepisPlugins.
2. Grab the latest release for your game (Koikatu and Koikatsu Party share the same release).
3. Extract the BepInEx folder from the release into your game directory, overwrite when asked.

BepisPlugins and KKAPI updates for AI-Shoujo studio update

BepisPlugins r12.2 

This update adds scene support to extended save in AI-Shoujo studio. Because this feature is likely to be used by many plugins, this update is released early. Koikatsu with BepInEx5 also gets a minor bugfix. 

AIAPI v1.8  

This update adds  StudioAPI support for AI-Shoujo studio. Upcoming mods will likely need this update. Needs BepisPlugins r12.2.

What's next

I'll work on the translation next sometime after that I'll port QuickAccessBox to AIS studio (and possibly other plugins).

It looks like both of these can be considered stable in AI-Shoujo now, same with many other plugins. Because of this I'll most likely get started on the first version of AI-Shoujo HF Patch soon.

Mod updates for AI-Shoujo full game

The full version of AI-Shoujo (or AI-Syoujyo if you prefer the Illusion-speak version) has finally been released!

Here are updates to two plugins that didn't work quite right. Most of the other plugins and mods still work fine with no changes, especially if they were built on top of AIAPI (you can see overlays and bonemod working in the horrifying preview pic). All mod data saved to trial cards is correctly persisted to the main game.

You should be able to use your BepInEx install from trial in the main game as long as you install all updates released for the main game. So far it looks like GrabRave and Heelz cause issues and need to be removed until they get updated.

To install, copy the dlls to your BepInEx\plugins folder as usual.

KK_BrowserFolders v1.4.2

v1.4.2 -  Fixed breaking coordinate list in KK Party maker.

v1.4.1 - Fixed failing to open some directories in explorer (the "My Documents" folder was opened instead).

This release brings support for Koikatsu Party along with some fixes and improvements.

Warning: BepInEx 5.0 is required for this version to work. Check previous posts or the latest HF Patch to get it.

View full changelog  

KKAPI / ECAPI / AIAPI v1.7

Modding API for Illusion games.

Warning: This release for Koikatsu and EmotionCreators targets the build #161 of BepInEx5. This is a newer version of BepInEx than what was used up to this point. If you still have not updated to the new build, stay on the previous KKAPI/ECAPI version.

• Only install this version of KKAPI if you have at least the bleeding edge build #161 of BepInEx5 that I posted in the previous post. 
• ECAPI shouldn't be used by end-users until the BepInEx5 build is released for EC and other EC plugins get updated for it.
• AI-Shoujo has always used the new BepInEx5 builds so it's safe to update.

Download and view changelog 

BepInEx 5 build 161 for KK

This is a long-awaited (mostly by modders) update to BepInEx that brings many improvements and new plugin APIs. Most new plugins will be released for this version (or newer).

From a user's perspective there won't be much difference from currently used BepInEx 4 setup. The majority of the upgrades only directly affect plugin makers.

Plugins made for BepInEx 5 are not compatible with BepInEx 4 and vice-versa. That being said, this package contains an automatic converter that will let old plugins made for BepInEx 4 work with this build. You don't have to do anything special, it's done automatically.

How to update an old BepInEx 4 install to BepInEx 5

It's recommended to do a fresh install. Remove your old BepInEx folder and start fresh with the new BepInEx 5 release and install latest versions of plugins.

If you don't want to update plugins manually and potentially deal with issues you can wait for the upcoming HF Patch. It will automatically update your install to BepInEx 5 and all compatible plugins.

If you don't want to do a fresh install and can deal with some potential issues, you can update your old install as follows:

• You have to remove ResourceRedirector.dll, MessageCenter.dll, DynamicTranslationLoader.dll and KK_GUIDMigration.dll from your BepInEx folder (this will prevent conflicts with updated plugins from next steps).
• Download the new BepInEx 5 release pack for KK below. It includes the latest nightly build of BepInEx5 (#161),  BepInEx4Upgrader, BepInEx.ConfigurationManager v14.1 and  BepInEx.MessageCenter v1.1.
• Extract it over your old install, replace files when asked.
• Update all mods to their BepInEx 5 compatible versions, if any are available (most importantly update BepisPlugins). You can remove the old versions of the plugins as you update them.

Koikatu Cheat Tools v2.6

Trainer for Koikatu! and Koikatsu Party. It allows control over player, girls, and most other aspects of the game.

This update adds:

• Ability to choose which heroine to edit - buttons for each girl in H scene, can choose from list of all heroines.
• Compatibility with BepInEx5 version of Runtime Unity Editor (still works with BepInEx4).
• New UI style and input blocking (from Runtime Unity Editor v1.9) - H scene no longer pauses, can interact with the game with the cheat window opened.
• View full changelog.

How to install:

• Download and place the dll inside your BepInEx folder. You need BepInEx4 or BepInEx5 with BepInEx4 patcher.
• Install Runtime Unity Editor v1.9 for your version of BepInEx.
• To turn on press the Pause key (you can change it in plugin settings, search for "cheat").
• It's recommeded to turn on the system console to see if there are any issues with your game. This can be done from plugin settings, search for "system console". Also turn on "Unity message logging", then restart the game.

Warning: This update needs Runtime Unity Editor v1.9 to work. Unlike before, it's not included in this release and has to be downloaded separately. 

KK_QuickAccessBox v2.0

Plugin for CharaStudio (part of Koikatu / Koikatsu Party) that adds a quick access list for searching through all of the items, both stock and modded. The plugin comes with thumbnails for the items, unlike the original studio interface. It's also instant and has low resource footprint, no need to wait for menus to open.

The v2.0 is a big update that adds and improves many features while improving performance and fixing bugs. Here's some of the most notable changes:

• There are now shortcuts for launching the search box in the UI (lower left and inside "add" menu, can still press Ctrl + Space).
• Thumbnails can now be loaded from zipmod files, so mod authors can include them with their studio mods. You can read more about this here.
• The included thumbnails are now in a separate zipmod file instead of the dll itself. Thumbs were also updated to include everything up until this post's release date.
• DynamicTranslator is no longer necessary for the plugin to work.
• Added compatibility with BepInEx5 (needs BepInEx4 emulator) and upcoming plugin updates for it.
• Check the release page on GitHub for a full list of changes.

How to install and FAQ 

Spooktober Koikatu! mod v1.2

Makes the main game menu spooky. I recommend using this during Spooktober for increased spookiness and immersion. No preview image to avoid spoilers, just start the game to see :)

Tested in the Japanese version of Koikatu. It might not work fully in Koikatsu Party but it shouldn't break anything.

How to install

• If you disabled BGM in your game, go to config and enable it, then close the game.
• Install a non-ancient version of BepisPlugins.
• Remove your \BepInEx\IntroClips folder if you have it.
• Extract contents of this archive to your game folder, overwrite if asked.

Instructions on how to uninstall the mod are included in the Readme.txt file inside the archive.

Doot doot

HeightBar v3.1

v3.1 - Fixed measurement bar not working with some KKAPI versions; Added hiding both bars when pressing space and taking screenshots (needs an upcoming release of screencap to work).

Character height measure tool for Koikatu and Koikatsu Party character maker.

This update adds a ground level indicator at the feet of the character. It makes it easy to see if your character is floating above or sinking below the ground. In these cases the character needs to be tweaked if you want to it in the main game.

To make the plugin easier to use the indicators are now partially transparent and the text has a black outline around it. The ground indicator and transparency effects can be controlled in plugin settings. 

Big thanks to 2155X for implementing the ground indicator and transparency! Consider checking out his Patreon page to say thanks.

Readme 

(Turns out this is my 100th Koikatu post!)

Modpack for [ShinyaSoft] Contract with a Lust Demon

This modpack contains an uncensor and a full English translation, both made by me. The uncensor/demozaic uncovers an animated vagina. I hand translated most of the interface, the rest is a cleaned up machine translation. Runtime editor is included as usual if you want to mess around.

The game is a fairly straight-forward SLG. There's no story, only the ero scene with touching and multiple positions and some minor mechanics. All things considered, I think it's pretty nice, definitely stands out from other recent releases.

This modpack needs the full game to run. You can buy the game on DLsite. It's named the following:

•  Contract with a Lust Demon ~Lovey Dovey Sex with Older Girl Succubus~ 
•  貴方は淫魔と契約しました ～優しいお姉さんサキュバスといちゃラブエッチ～ 

How to install

To install, extract the archive into the game's root directory (where Succubus.exe is located). If you want to use the 32bit version of the game you have to extract the included "For 32bit.zip" archive and replace the existing winhttp.dll file.

Warning: Make sure that there are no Japanese characters in the game's path or mods might fail to load.

Runtime Unity Editor v1.9

This release adds some quality-of-life improvements and fixes a bunch of bugs on different unity versions. 

Modders might find the new "Clear AssetBundle Cache" button useful. If the game supports  AssetBundleManager, this button will appear on the right. This unloads all loaded bundles and forces Unity to reload them next time they are needed. With this you can edit the game's bundle files (by using SB3U for example) and have Unity load the changes without restarting the game.

You can now type multi-line code in the REPL window. Press shift+enter in the text box or paste multiple lines of code. By doing this you can run whole snipplets of code as a single unit (i.e. you can use { } and spread code over multiple lines). The box also accepts the numpad enter now (along all search boxes).

Check previous update notes for more information.

Back in action

I was on a short break this past couple of weeks, but I'm back now, rested and ready to pump out some plugins.

The plan is to push out a couple of quick updates to the universal plugins (ConfigManager, RuntimeEditor, FPSCounter) with fixes to issues people found over this time.

After that, I will go back to Koikatsu until AI-Shoujo is released. The plan for Koi is to release some fixes (BrowserFolders for Party, Bepin5 compatibility) and make at least one completely new (and non-trivial) plugin before AI-S drops.

ConfigurationManager v14.1

v14.1 -  Added an "open log file" button in the top right corner, great for finding causes of issues.

This update brings fixes and improvements for both plugin authors and end users. 

A few of the more important changes:

• Manager is now more compatible with games that lock the cursor.
• If config files can't be saved because of bad file permissions, a warning will now be shown.
• Improved how plugins interact with config manager, check github readme for more info.
• Fixed a bug that prevented changing keyboard shortcuts.

Check full changelog 

Warning: Needs a recent BepInEx5 nightly build, this is not yet available for Koikatsu, only AI-S (coming soon to KK). Press F1 to show the manager in-game. Check the  readme for more info.

AI-Shoujo Overlay Mods v5.0.3

v5.0.3 - Fixed bug with transparent skin overlays being black (thanks to essu for the fix).

Port of Overlay Mods to AI-Shoujo. Needs BepInEx5_Almost-RC2 and AIAPI v1.6.2 to work.

• Skin and clothes overlays were ported and are fully functional.
• Iris overlays could not be ported (they are coded in a much different way from KK and EC).
• Body masks don't exist in AIS and therefore were not ported.

What are overlays and how to use them?

Overlays are simple png images that are applied over the stock textures. With them you don't have to know any modelling or programming to make custom clothes and skin types. All you need is an image editor.

You can have transparency in your overlays. By using transparency in your textures you can remove parts of clothes (turn on hide base texture toggle).

To start off, export a template texture and try editing it. Then load your modified texture and see what changed. If you have trouble figuring out what part of the texture corresponds to what part of the model, you can use the attached grid_template overlay.

If you want a wireframe template for clothes you can use MaterialEditor and the export UVs option.

Here's a skin overlay guide for Koikatsu - the model files for 3D Coat are different from AIS, but the text mostly applies here.

BepInEx and plugin updates for AI-Shoujo

Update: Added MagicCarrot patcher - fixes the game freezing on startup. Download in attachments.

This is a collection of plugin updates for AI-Shoujo trial. All of the updates should be installed at the same time because of compatibility issues mentioned below.

If you have issues with getting mods to work, check the Illusion Soft discord server for mod updates. If you can't solve the issue, either ask in the #ai-help channel on the server or send me a message. When asking for help with a bug/crash have your output_log.txt file or console text dump (select all text and save to a text file) ready.

BepInEx 5 Pre-RC2

Update of the new config APIs, this should be the same as the upcoming official release. Some plugins will have to be updated to work with this release. New plugins should all target this release or newer, and not any of the old releases.

Download below.

IMPORTANT: Make sure to get the MagicCarrot as well - it fixes the game freezing on startup. 

IMPORTANT: When updating previous BepInEx versions, remove your old bepinex\config folder and the version.dll file.

AI_BepisPlugins 29/09/2019

This update adds compatibility with the new BepInEx release above. It also brings some fixes and improvements all over the place, including improved shadow quality of screenshots. Thanks to essu, Anon11 and others on the discord server for work on this!

XUnity.AutoTranslator 4.4.0

BepInEx.ConfigurationManager v13.0

This is the first stable release after the project was split from BepisPlugins. I kept the version number from BepisPlugins, that's why it's so high. Press F1 to show the manager in-game.

IMPORTANT: Remove BepInEx\plugins\AI_BepisPlugins\ConfigurationManager.dll if you have it.

FPS Counter v2.0 RC1 - Version for BepInEx5 nightlies

This is a major update to the plugin that adds new features and ports the plugin to latest builds of BepInEx 5. The plugin will be released as stable when a new official release of BepInEx comes out.

Note about compatibility:

Because the latest unreleased changes are necessary, this plugin will not work with the  BepInEx 5.0 RC1 release. You can download the latest build below. This build is already distributed with all AI-Shoujo mod packs so you DO NOT need to download it if you already installed any AI-S modpacks.

DO NOT download this release if you are currently using BepInEx 4.x! You will break your install and have to reinstall BepInEx 4.x to fix it.

New features:

• Measure FPS timings more accurately
• Measure time spent in each of the steps Unity takes in order to render a frame (e.g. how long all Update methods took to run collectively)
• Measure time spent in each of the installed BepInEx plugins (easy to see performance hogs

How to use:

• Install the test build of BepInEx5 if necessary (already included in AI-Shoujo mod packs, skip this step if you have any of them)
• Place the .dll inside your bepinex\plugins folder.
• By default, press U + LeftShift to enable. To change settings either use a nightly build of ConfigurationManager (also included in AI-S packs), or edit the config file in bepinex\config (have to run the game at least once to generate it).
