3.1 beta
Added 2023-01-21 02:04:59 +0000 UTC
This version changes kPlug in a BepInEx mod
All kPlug UIs are seriously improved, visually and in terms of behavior, when the cursor is over it, it blocks the camera and interactions with girls. * it doesn't concern the VR version.
I fixed various bugs I found.
Warning! It's a BepInEx mod now, you must remove or disable previous kPlug versions for IPA

Usually, kPlug IPA versions are in the GameRoot/Plugins/ directory, delete or change the extension of kPlug and kPlugVR
I'm not planning to release an installer for upcoming public version and so I changed how I organize the .rar archive, rather than packing a folder, I pack a bunch of files.
Here's the idea;

Copy kPlugUpdate(3.1beta).rar in the game root folder, right click on it and select extract here.
This is not the case for the first install but answer yes if it asks for overwrite!
If you're using Koikatsu Party!
After the extraction another .rar appeared

Same as previous, right click on it, extract here, answer yes when it asks for overwrite
Now kPlug dll, kPlugVR dll, preferences and language files are in
Game/BepInEx/plugins/kPlug/
If you want to keep your previous pref, you have to move it in this folder but if you had the problem exposed in the previous post, it might be better to start from fresh ones, the bug is solved.
Here's kPlug 3.1!
*This is just dlls, it suppose you have abdata from 3.09 installed
Dll names are the same it was with IPA however there's a little difference, when you point the cursor over the dll in explorer, the name displayed in the popup will be "kPlug(B)", "kPlugVR(B)" and "kPlug(B)Party", "kPlugVR(B)Party" for party versions
Thanks for your patience, my target is a release on Monday, I want to fix some animation on which I noticed some issue like half animated anal pre-cum loop and other things at few positions.
It's super late where I am, for those like me, have a good night!

I plan to develop a little more the message system, but turning it into a chat bot seems far from my skills

2023-01-25 00:56:26 +0000 UTCSo, the good news is it works for me. The question is why it doesn't for you... First, are you sure you have unzipped kPlugForParty.rar, if I use kPlug for the JP version of the game on Koikatsu Party, it gives me an empty invitation menu. Go in the folder Koikatsu/BepInEx/plugins/kPlug and point the mouse cursor over kPlug.dll, after 2-3 seconds a popup that give you info about the pointed file should appear. The file description should be kPlug(B)Party. If it doesn't help another tips which probably won't help too, but can you verify in your BepInEx plugins settings, search the mod "Maker/Studio Browser folder", it has an option to prevent kPlug to load cards at H start. In case this option is enabled, disable it and test please.

2023-01-25 00:18:50 +0000 UTCNo, you won't be able to use the old UI, I'll add a dark theme to the new one and give the possibility to have biiger button in the pose selector

2023-01-25 00:00:12 +0000 UTCWhat is your version of the game JP or the Steam version?
Katarsys
2023-01-24 23:58:50 +0000 UTCYou're running kPlug 3.09 and 3.1 at the same time, it's not good. You should remove previous kPlug version for IPA

2023-01-24 10:06:06 +0000 UTCHey Katarsys, thanks for replying. When I do the instructions what happens is I look for the KPlug prefs in the BepInEx folder and I don’t see it there. But initially when I try to play with the 3.1 patch the game completely resets and the mods don’t work anymore. Could it be that I looked in the wrong folder and the bug happens?

2023-01-23 17:58:27 +0000 UTCIndeed, I messed up with the copy past from Sunshine name. It's fixed
Katarsys
2023-01-23 16:54:38 +0000 UTCIt opens when girls send you message at the end of a day, it can't be opened when there is no message
Katarsys
2023-01-23 16:49:39 +0000 UTCWhat preferences are you talking about? kPlug prefs? kPlug prefs has been moved in BepInEx/plugins/kPlug/kPlugPrefs.txt If kPlug didn't find its preferences when launching the game, it creates a new one, so I don't know how this pref file can be gone. Do you see kPlug preferences file in the BepInEx/plugins/kPlug/ folder?

2023-01-23 16:43:25 +0000 UTCOkay I've to re-install Party, I will test that and keep you in touch
Katarsys
2023-01-23 16:42:24 +0000 UTCThe problem you experienced makes no sense for me... There's no changes on how kPlug calls the translation, and in the screenshots I've seen, your diary can be opened but is empty and it's not logic at all, if there is an issue with a translation file, the code encounter an error and can't reach its next line, the UI draw crashes and spawns error messages in console, nothing appears on screen. In your peculiar case, for kPlug everything seems to works fine, i don't know why or how but it catches empty translation and reaches the end of the UI draw without problem... Perfectly meaningless for me. Happy to know this version solves your problem but I don't know why
Katarsys
2023-01-23 16:39:00 +0000 UTCYes. BepInEx.IPA Loader is useless but removing it won't change anything
Katarsys
2023-01-23 16:29:22 +0000 UTCOkay I'll try to add an option to choose the color, however it can't be ready for the public version
Katarsys
2023-01-23 16:26:38 +0000 UTCVery nice to see it as a BepInEx now

2023-01-22 05:49:05 +0000 UTCI followed the instructions but all of my prefs are gone and I can't even change them. I tried uninstalling and doing a fresh reinstall but still doesn't work. Please help

2023-01-21 20:59:14 +0000 UTCOne is real happy with this version of KPlug as I can access my own English text again. Lets just say my daily journal has different lines of text and makes the interactions more interesting.

2023-01-21 15:42:28 +0000 UTCIs it a success if the menu becomes light blue like sunshine? Is it okay to remove BepInEx.IPALoader?

2023-01-21 13:01:35 +0000 UTCinvitation menu during free H seems to be broken, doesn't show anyone. Works fine in normal play, only free H where it's blank

2023-01-21 12:58:45 +0000 UTCIt looks much better! But the invitation menu shows as empty for me

2023-01-21 07:14:02 +0000 UTCcan i use old UI or change blueUI to black? it quite hard to read especially pose selecter / please add option to use old UI or something
zeetong333
2023-01-21 06:54:10 +0000 UTCThe UI updates are nice, and I hope there'll be options to reply to your girls' messages since there's a button there now. One feature I'd like to see if being able to change the order of the girls in in the Personal Diary menu. Presently, they're in the order as you add them to the game, but it'd be nice to customize the order they are in.
