This only and Online Party Plus are just neat to use, thanks for the mod!
Scott Memelord 27 Sep, 2021 @ 9:34pm 
Yeah same. I loved that mod and now it's just gone.

i wonder what happened to the Ralsei hat
Kramsies 10 Nov, 2020 @ 4:04pm 
not sure if anyone else has this issue but with this mod installed after about 30 minutes into playing in online the game will abruptly crash. i do play with max graphics but im not sure if this is an issue. also when im playing a new character after about the same 30 minutes the game freezes and then gives me all seal the deal and metro accesories and mixes up my equiped accesories with the wireframe suit and equips fox hat. no idea whats going on but i cant play with this installed. :/

Allright, thanks for responding.

The mod is still being used by many players in online party if it brings any motivation.
But i respect that you have other things to see to.

As a partially retired modder, I regretfully have to say that I am unsure if I can find the motivation to look into why this mod no longer functions for Bow Kid. I do acknowledge the issue though and will keep it in mind. Thank you for reporting!

Similia issue to the fomer comment.

Bow kid seems not to sync expressions online anymore, i've been playing with my friend and we couldn't get bow kid to share the expressions. i don't have other mods installed that should interfere with bow kid. (i don't know if it's due to the latest update to the official game or if it's online party plus)

The shadow puppet for bow kid also only shows "the two eyes no mouth face", and not the new full face anymore.

Seems like the latest game update broke expression sync for bow kid in its entirety

What it takes to enjoy a good party. Nice Work.
Altiami  [author] 29 Jan, 2020 @ 2:17am 
It's been a while since I've works on this mod, but to my recollection, Bow Kid with Shadow Puppet should have more than just two eyes. Other characters should have this as well. If this isn't the case, then I probably removed it due to it causing problems.
Astra 23 Jan, 2020 @ 11:26pm 
it says bow gets a full shadow puppet face but i haven't ever actually seen anything like that?

I know this isn't the right place to ask, however I don't really know where else to ask but on other mod pages. I have seen some players being able to do animations such as crawling backwards or the death animation, and I was wondering if anyone knew the name of the mod that allows you to play animations whenever you want? any response that could help me find the mod would be greatly appreciated. also while I am here, just gonna say this mod is amazing

The current expression is represented as its own "component" attached to the character. It updates the visual expression on the character depending on the "expression value" it's set to be by other parts of the game's code. If you have the modding tools installed (which also installs the game's scripts), you can see the code responsible for this in Hat_ExpressionComponent .

What do you mean that it is tracked in a property, like in a specific area?
Altiami  [author] 1 Oct, 2019 @ 9:45pm 
As you play the game, your character's expression is tracked in a property (not through the mod; this is already in the game). This mod looks at that property to tell other players that you are using that expression.
BetaBuck 1 Oct, 2019 @ 1:22pm 
How does this mod detect an expression?
Blitz 4 Aug, 2019 @ 11:28pm 
Ahh I see!
Thanks for letting me know!
Altiami  [author] 4 Aug, 2019 @ 8:41pm 
The way my systems work is that other mods support my mod. That way I don't have to go back in constantly and add support for every mod that releases over time; it's future-proofing. I've been trying to talk to Argle about adding the support, but it seems he's prioritizing work on other things, like optimizing Online Party Plus. He could also be wrapped up in work for Gears for breakfast, which is why I haven't been too assertive.

Tl;dr, I'm not going to add support myself; that's on Argle. He'll do it when he's ready!
Blitz 4 Aug, 2019 @ 12:11pm 
Any plans to support Playable Mu Girl?
cooler than u 29 Jul, 2019 @ 1:18am 
low-end user here, I haven't had any crashes with online party plus or this mod, so if you're crashing at loading screens then it might be another mod.
Altiami  [author] 23 Jul, 2019 @ 1:21am 
@ImmenseShoutmon Updated!

@Beaniehoki98 My mod does demand quite a bit, so with a low-end computer, it might be too much. However, I haven't been able to confirm if it causes a similar screen freeze since most people who have this mod also have Online Party Plus.
Local Dunce 22 Jul, 2019 @ 7:22pm 
Does this cause as many loading screen freezes as Online Party Plus?
ImmenseShoutmon 22 Jul, 2019 @ 7:01pm 
Playable Witch Lady is compatible with this now. Could you update the compatible mods list if possible?
BlackJack 21 Jul, 2019 @ 12:12am 
Awesome, good luck with that fix and thanks you!
Maria Joy 20 Jul, 2019 @ 4:29pm 
ok
Altiami  [author] 20 Jul, 2019 @ 4:04pm 
@BlackJack I identified an issue with my detection of OPP's "three-part" condition which is used for skin syncing. I'm testing a fix right now.

@MJVP There's a variable in the game that keeps track of your character's current expression. I use that to know what expression to send to everyone else. No menus, no camera, "it just works!"
Maria Joy 20 Jul, 2019 @ 3:35pm 
how does this detect expressions im guessing camera is needed
BlackJack 20 Jul, 2019 @ 3:01pm 
I off all my mods and it starts to work again and then I activated the "Online Party Plus" mod and everyone's faces were in default again. My friend try to do the same and had the same result.
BlackJack 20 Jul, 2019 @ 2:16pm 
Hello, I realy love this mod but I think it is conflict with something, because for me and my friends it doesn't work. We all see the default faces.
Denchick 17 Jul, 2019 @ 6:46am 
holy crap the community is literally fixing the online party for GFB

shame on you GFB
KIIROCORE 16 Jul, 2019 @ 1:50pm 
oh

sorry to bother you then
Altiami  [author] 15 Jul, 2019 @ 11:53pm 
To quote myself, "It might be possible to sync hats someday, but it'd require a lot of work replacing the model." I'd appreciate you not accusing me of saying things I didn't.

Yes, I am aware Online Party Plus added hat sync, as well as skin sync. In the Discord, we talk about these things a lot, and I've talked with Argle, too. It's all good.
KIIROCORE 15 Jul, 2019 @ 8:55pm 
so remember when you said online hat sync isn't possible?

yeah, about that...
CosmA 1 Jul, 2019 @ 3:36am 
why
Altiami  [author] 24 Jun, 2019 @ 7:14pm 
Ugh, it's trying to add a template to the Roulette. I'll push an update soon to fix this... Can't right at the moment.
Cirom 24 Jun, 2019 @ 4:01pm 
Noticed this mod added a blank dye to the roulette wheel, was this intentional? ;o It seems to have a glitched name... "?INT?collectibles.skins?"
Altiami  [author] 22 Jun, 2019 @ 9:12pm 
Fixed. I fixed them before, but once again, it got overwritten in an update. Feels good to specifically backup my descriptions for this reason, only for the backup to be incorrect anyway.
JDWMGB 22 Jun, 2019 @ 1:49pm 
the dyeable sweater and playable neptune links are incorrect
Saphomet 22 Jun, 2019 @ 3:06am 
oh my gosh !
Altiami  [author] 21 Jun, 2019 @ 3:16pm 
I added it before and it got overwritten in an update. Thanks for pointing out that I should add it again.
KIIROCORE 21 Jun, 2019 @ 1:26pm 
you should really put "note: this is NOT a facial expression swap mod" or something like in the description tbh
Altiami  [author] 21 Jun, 2019 @ 12:48pm 
A secret about Hat (or Bow) Kid is that normally they're made up of four separate models, the hat, the head, the upper body, and the legs. However, online players only use one model. This is why their hats don't change; the hat isn't its own separate model. It might be possible to sync hats someday, but it'd require a lot of work replacing the model.
SB15SKG 21 Jun, 2019 @ 8:35am 
Do you think hat sync will be possible one day?
Altiami  [author] 20 Jun, 2019 @ 11:54pm 
@thomasogzakk Again, this is not an expression selection mod. The mod automatically detects your expression and sends it. If another player has the mod, they'll receive it, and if my mod supports the expressions, their face will change!
mrfartboy 20 Jun, 2019 @ 11:41pm 
can someone tell WHERE IT IS?!

Filthma 20 Jun, 2019 @ 11:29pm 
YOU DID IT!
BUZZ 20 Jun, 2019 @ 5:15pm 
YOU DID IT!
Hath 20 Jun, 2019 @ 1:53pm 
Finally the shadow puppets have faces
Altiami  [author] 20 Jun, 2019 @ 8:55am 
Should have! I've seen one instance that's worrisome, but I think it was someone using an expression/animation selection mod, which both do and don't play nicely with my mod, and create a great deal of confusion for me.
