PSA: RX9 Released (Important Update!)
🕑 Added 2021-03-08 00:55:19 +0000 UTCHey everyone, I wanted to alert all of you to the newest RX9 release from last week. Some of you may have already updated, but I tend to delay on the updates to ensure compatibility with my releases. When I make these update posts, it's basically to announce that I'm finally updating and in order to make sure everything works correctly, you should update too, though often times it doesn't matter TOO much.. better to be safe than sorry!
The latest release can be found here.
That being said, this is a pretty neat update with lots of new plugins added, and I wanted to go over some of the new stuff that will personally help me in development or may be of interest to some of you. I'll go over some of them from the patch notes here. I'll also go into a bit of the development process I use. Before any of that, you will notice that the KK Studio actually has a better UI on the side-bar thingy, but I'm not sure which mod that is (I can't remember, it's Studio Assistant or something).
Anyways, onto a few plugins.
NOTE: THESE MODS ARE NOT INSTALLED BY DEFAULT BECAUSE THEY MAY NOT WORK PROPERLY, MAY CONFLICT WITH OTHER MODS, OR EVEN BREAK STUFF. BACK UP YOUR BEPINX JUST IN CASE. IF YOU WISH TO TURN THEM ON, LOCATE "[OPTIONAL] Mods" IN YOUR KOIKATSU FOLDER, FIND THE MOD, AND DRAG THEM INTO THE APPROPRIATE FOLDERS (BEPINX/MODS/ETC).
New Plugins:
Deathweasel's KK_AccessoryQuickRemove v1.0
This mod adds a simple function to remove an accessory by simply pressing the Delete key. While it doesn't seem like much, whenever I create a new card, I tend to use a "base" model, particularly for the evolutionary line. For example, I'll use a recently released card, let's say Hoppip, who has the general base dimensions for body/face in my own style. First, I undress her, then I start to remove all her accessories one by one. This means clicking on the accessory itself, clicking on the tab, and selecting none, for each accessory.
That's quick enough by itself, but it has been made even faster with this plugin. Now it's just click, delete, click, delete, click, delete. Literally saves 2 clicks per accessory deleted! That's 66% faster or something I don't know I failed math!
KK_PNGCaptureSizeModifier to v1.5.5
I should have mentioned this awhile ago but this is the mod I use to create the large character cards. In the options menu (pressing F1 in Studio), be sure to turn off all the watermarks.
Boop 1.0
This lets you jiggle butts/boobs when you mouse over them, in Character Creator or Studio. Look, it's just fun, okay?
Madevil's KK_AccStateSync v3.1.2
This plugin is pretty neat, but I don't actually use it yet. It syncs accessories to clothing states. Let's say for example I attach a Ribbon to a character's hip, which is clearly supposed to be part of her skirt (think of the recently released Eevee). With this plugin, when you click on undress, not only will it hide the skirt, but also hide the Ribbon automatically. While this sounds like a cool feature, I don't know if it currently functions for people who DON'T use the mod. I think I could use the mod and Sync them up when necessary, and if you do use the mod it would simply work for you and if you didn't it wouldn't, but because it's off by default and most people don't know about it, I don't know if I should even bother with it or not. Perhaps in the future, since you're now all aware of it!
------------
There's a couple of other Plugins of note, but they are risky and known to be incompatible. The above ones work fine for me, and should for you as well, but I thought of putting that warning out there anyways.
Also, I SHOULD have an Update post out soon before the next release, or I might wait until after.. Either way, that's all for now, see you soon!
