Custom Whatever Loader

Description


Allows the game to automatically load modders' custom resources from the mod directory, simplifying the process for modders to utilize various game functionalities without any additional steps, and with extended localization support.

Ideal for mods that introduce new items, characters, or audio elements, the Custom Whatever Loader eliminates the need for creating script DLLs to import Excel sheets.

CWL is made with community effort and feedback, new features are added upon request.

Generally, you only need to prepare EN folder, as in JP entries are bundled within the same sheet. (Unless you are using god_talk.xlsx or other localized Data)

Config file can be edited using Mod Config GUI or in file at Elin/BepInEx/config/dk.elinplugins.customdialogloader.cfg
Check out the configuration details here[elin-modding-resources.github.io]

Do you know that source element 105 is gun?!

@Sooner535{UFIP} Glad you sorted it out!

Ok got it working, to anyone who is having this issue:

I am uncertain if this is a base game thing or this mod but.
Skins will load while the game is running and can be edited, added and removed from:
Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Elin\Custom\Skin
without having to exit the game at all

However, this is not the case for portraits, the portrait needs to be added, the right shape, and have a transparent background. And be added to:
Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Elin\Custom\Portrait
And the game restarted for it to show up, also MAKE SURE that the portrait does not copy another portraits name already in use as that will cause it to not show up.

Sorry DK for the hijacking of the comment section here looking for something I don't think this mod caused. Appreciate you and your mod.

I am not sure it would create any logs tbh. Basically when I put a portrait in:
Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Elin\Custom\Portrait

It was not loading to where I could set them in edit appearance for companions. The steps to reproduce are as follows:
Create a portrait
Place it in the aforementioned path
Log into the game
Use the resident board to edit appearance of a resident
That portrait will not show up.

As far as I am aware it’s this mod doing it, because as soon as I removed it the portrait showed up. I can try and do another test of it today, and double check, maybe it was some sort of random thing?

@Sooner535{UFIP} I have not encountered this problem yet, would you mind giving me some steps to reproduce this bug? And ideally with Player.Log

This mod seems to break the ability to load custom portraits from what I have found. I could not load custom portraits until I removed this mod, any ideas?

@★『Magia Böse』it does, but volume doesn't work the way you are expecting, dpm't confuse sound clip volume with in game BGM channel volume.

@DK
in bgm.json, is "volume" working properly? whether i set it to 0.1, 0.001, 1.0 or 100.0, bgm's volume has not changed at all.

@DK
oh, that's alright. but you're right, there really aren't many people making BGM mods, likely because the files are so large that few people want to use them.
DK  [author] Jun 9 @ 7:08am 
@★『Magia Böse』 For a BGM to appear in the recorder, it must be known by the player. CWL used to auto add all custom BGMs to the known BGM list, but no one uses it so I've removed that feature.

hey, me again. how can i add custom BGMs to gramophone's song list?
