Try going up against Grooves / Conductor in main game again, since this chapter relies on a variable related to that. If I'm understanding correctly, that's probably the issue.

Do i need to finish my main game first to play this?
But i already finished chapter 5 time's end the finale!

Nevermind I sorted out the technical difficulties faster than I expected. It's just been released.

The finale should be out within the next few days.

so is the last chapter still being made, cancelled, or is that another episode mod the continuation? Cause i'm really enjoying this and i want to see how it all ends.

Hello. I casually looked into the map and I noticed that you tend to use Materials where you should have used MaterialInstances, resulting an bloated upk and long initial loading of the map.

Additionnaly as you said this is one map. One giant map.


The monitors in map 3 should be an excellent example.


As for character cutouts.. those are modified via kismet. And Kismet lacks functions to change parameters of MaterialInstances. So I made custom class as detailed in this pastebin: https://pastebin.pl/view/dd987b93 .

I'm planning to program custom camera class for ease of use during trial.

As for one giant level... one can use StreamingLevel, but since this thing is Kismet heavy I don't know how this will work.

If you have any questions just ask.

Hello! The game don't load the mod. I entered the comments searching help, I tried unsubbing and then subbing ingame, but the mod still don't load. I want to play, I'm really enjoying the series :c

Ah, that makes a lot more sense now. I really kinda forgot to listen to the commentary on the account that my PC can hardly handle A Hat In Time in general. When you put it like that, it makes a lot more sense. also side note, I just gotta say for some characters I think were written fantastically (the purple one I forgot how to spell, Nomad, C.A.W) and I just wanna say I'm hyped for the 6th. Keep up the great work!

Trial 6 is intended to follow up with the ability to pick the survivor at the start since it assumes you went through both routes of trial 5, and maybe you wouldn't prefer your default route. Also it'd be easier to implement. As for which one I consider canon, I state my feelings on the matter in the SAL3000 cheat code's director's commentary.

Though... I kinda considered this trial to be the strongest due to just how much stuff I put in it. Those cheat codes were meant to be used.

The Deadbird winner thing was the main gimmick to the trial, and was planned after trial 1 was completed. The logic was 'whoever won the award tries to kill you, thus having no issue with it', so the loser would likely have a some resistence to it, long enough for there to be a gap that gets them to survive. There's not really a great way to incorporate that though... The reason I waited until trial 5 despite it being the 2nd trial concept made was because I'd feel like changing most future trials accordingly with who lived and died would result in a lot more work than I'd want to deal with. So it's the 2nd to last trial to mitigate that.

The killer being obvious because it's not who you play as was kinda something I foresaw, and I treated it more as a battle between both birds because of it. Though, I did kinda hope concealing who died first would cause a speck of doubt to form.

This was a good trial like all the others but in my opinion I feel like this is the weakest. mainly because [redacted] was too obvious as the killer. especially because you mainly play as [redacted] in the trial. And if I know one thing about DR fangames, it's that they typically don't pull the same tricks twice. Luckily tho you gave the option for [redacted] to survive instead of [redacted]. Sorry that I keep doing redacted, I'm not used to steam comments and don't know how to spoiler tag but you know exactly who is who. I also think the victims were kinda obvious too. but I do like the idea of what's being set up. though I also have a question...Is trial 6 gonna have things changed for who dies or is the one thing the canonical one and the other is more a what if? Overall though, this is still amazing and probably the best fanganronpa I've ever seen. keep up the good work :D

unsubbing and resubbing worked, thank you! i recently discovered this series and it's really fun, can't wait to play the next trial whenever it comes out :D

I don't have issues with it on my end aside from very long loading times, though I didn't stop and check exactly how long it took. My best guess is to wait a long while, but I'm not 100% sure if that's the solution.

A trick I was told that might fix it is unsub, launch the game, and resub. I'm not sure if that applies though, but maybe it'll work?

i can't get the mod to load unfortunately, it keeps getting stuck at the loading screen and trying to interact with it past that point just makes the game crash. is it something i'm doing wrong? should i just wait longer? the longest i've waited so far is 20 minutes... any help with this would be appreciated

Trial 5 has updated. The modding tools can be finicky, though. If something broke, let me know.

I'm not sure what you mean.

i broke the mod, by seeing segment 3 massing i was able to return the the main menu with the text still active, pressed cheat codes, the text contuned pressed my cheat code , it starte dsence two and i swap to the mystery segment of krops with the teext and option to pick a diffrent segment

Probably a few months from now. Trial 5 just came out about 10 days ago and it usually takes a few months to make each trial. I'd make a more exact estimate, but it's usually off by a month or so.

is there going to be another one if so when is it coming out? I really liked this series

I'm excited for trial 6! The twists and turns in this trial are well planned and thought out, the voice acting is amazing, and the characters are presented in such a good way! Great job Ryuka!

These mods are honestly my favorite mods.
Also who else think snatcher will die next trial?

awesome

I can't wait to continue playing this series of levels! They're so well thought out, and you could always improve! Keep on going on, because I love all of this, and please take care of yourselves.

Also one last thing this is just me letting you know another good sound track for this is from a small ps1 game reel fishing there's a youtube playlist for it reel fishing relaxation its nice and i feel would suit one of the well.

try replaying Battle of the Birds as for some reason you don't have a winner

i cant get in because it says im not done with the game but i have all 56 time pieces help?

Very nice

Oh yeah. I should update those.

Nah just joking about how all the screenshots are in editor and you can see the "Lighting needs to be rebuilt"

The lighting being rebuilt killed the level. There's too much data usage without it, but with it, it's a lot worse.

Lightning needs to be rebuilt :)
