How do I add text/message/speech boxes in studio mode?

[DemonchanSama (Lilyia)]

I couldn't imagine a powerful studio mode like this doesn't have any way to add speech boxes Especially when the main game is basically a huge visual novel dating sim.

I used to make scenes using 3d maid and upload them like a comic strip, I love how more diverse Koikatsu's studio mode is but if I can't add text without having to manually do it with placing literal pictures of speech bubbles into the frame would be rather disappointing.

If that is the case perhaps there is a mod?

Not sure if you only need the newest Bepinex or other things, too.

But it is included in the newest HF Patch: https://www.patreon.com/posts/hf-patch-for-v3-42189263

Thank you so much! *Bows*

Hmm I seem to already have 3.4. Perhaps I just don't know how to add them yet? I searched for this but I don't see any results on how to add them. eh.. I guess I can just manually add that plugin in case it was somehow excluded.

Make sure you have the "KK_StudioTextPlugin.dll" in \Koikatsu Party\BepInEx\plugins\jim60105.

You find the text thing in Studio: add -> Items -> 2D Effects -> Character Text

I found it thank you! Now to just figure out how to modify the text the way I want. hmm.

Okay played around with it, pretty easy to understand! Thanks so much!

If you add a text, it appears on the right side in the Workspace window. Click on it to select it (the text is a group, so you can click on the arrow to expand it and see more details), after you select the text in Workspace (if you selected it, it's highlighted in green), click on the left side on "anim". You should see a new window with text settings.

btw, speech bubbles are in the same menu. add -> Items -> 2D Effects -> Speech Ballons. Just in case you missed it. :-)

You're a Saint brother!

Would you by chance know how to hide the top right UI buttons Menu,work,move,,color ect? I really want those to disappear from my screenshots without having to manually crop them.

Edit, Seems its not needed, when I screenshot they are automatically removed. well that makes things so much easier!
