[RGON] Repentance Plus!

[RP] Custom Health API animation files failed to load. Restart your game!
TL;DR: UNINSTALL ALL THE MODS THAT CHANGE HOW YOUR HEALTHBAR LOOKS. OR ONES THAT SEEM LIKE THEY DON'T, BUT FOR GOD KNOWS WHAT REASON THEY DO. LOOK, IT'S COMPLICATED.

Long version and explanation:

CHAPI stands for Custom Health API. It is a library that was initially created for Fiend Folio to support any kind of custom health one could wish for. This library is also embeddable into any mod that might want to use it, one of which is Repentance Plus.
CHAPI is now fully released, polished and open-sourced. Go thank FF devs (especially TaigaTreant) for the amazing work they did and ask them any questions directly related to it, if you have any!

Unfortunately, CHAPI requires a sole access to the HP graphic files located in the game. This means that a mod that uses CHAPI can not co-exist with any mod that attempts visual tweaks of player's healthbar (some of the mods don't change anything at all, they just have unnecessary files in their folders that cannot be overridden by CHAPI). Here's the list of mods that conflict with CHAPI (it may not be complete, so if you found any other mod that causes the issue, let me know):

If you have a mod conflict of that kind, there is no way to resolve it but to uninstall that mod or Repentance Plus. You can attempt to change the contents of those mods locally on your computer, but I wouldn't recommend doing that as 1) you may not understand whether these files are necessary for the mod, and 2) if that mod updates, your local deletions will be overridden from the workshop, forcing you to repeat the procedure.

Thanks for your understanding! This thread can and will only contain questions and answers, if there are any; other comments will be removed.

Consistent Question Marks causes the message as well because it modifies the ? that covers your Health when you are cursed. That one took me awhile to fine.

Thanks! I'll add that to the list.

EDIT: after re-reading the mod's comments and testing the mod on my own, I can confidently say that this mod no longer causes incompatibilities with CHAPI. The issue is on the user's end.

Yes, it is confirmed. However, this has nothing to do with Custom Health API. It's just that a bunch of mods (mainly those that depend on MCM Continued) broke after 1.7.9b, and now the rendering is sometimes kinda wacky

Just want to report some incompatibilities with these mods (error is : custom load data wasn't loaded correctly) :
- Auri (v. nov.20 8h28)
- [Rep] Jukebox (v. dec.14 3h19)
- Pudding And Wakaba [REP] (v. dec.9 1h54)

I hope I didn't misread the title, it's about custom load data of CHAPI isn't it ? anyway, those 3 mods causes the issue, so if it's the correct thread, you can add it with the other ones :)

Unfortunately this isn't about chapi, it's a generic incompatibility. Probably needed to create a different thread for those, but oh well, might be a bit too late now.

Hello, I'm having this error with Fiend Folio on my Repentance, and even following the instructions shown in the error, and even playing with only the Stage API and Fiend Folio turned on after restarting the game, the error continues. Do you think it could be a conflict between Fiend Folio and the Stage API itself? (Another factor is that I'm on Windows 7, but I don't know if that influences the mod).

No, I'm quite positive neither Stage API nor you playing on Win 7 should cause this issue. Provided you really don't enable any other mod, and you restart the game after disabling all the other mods, I'd recommend you verify the cache integrity of the game and/or reinstall the game or the mod.

Thanks, I remember getting a similar report recently, so with the second confirmation I feel like I could add this to the post.

Imagine my surprise when i subscribe to this mod, see the error message, get frustated trying to discover how to fix it only to then find that there a topic all about that lol.
But anyways, is there no way for you or any other dev to further develop compatibility with the CHAPI, even if it mean having a resprited red heart next to a custom Repentance+ heart with a completely different art style?
( i just love E1mo's "UI health resprite" too much :( )

I'm not the one responsible for CHAPI development, it's created by TaigaTreant, one of FF devs. However I must say that there is a 99% possibility this can't happen. The overwrite of base game files is required here, so much as in any other resprite mod.
I guess one thing that can happen is creators of resprite mods make their mod compatible with CHAPI by introducing a little bit of an elaborate code, but I've no certainty that'd work.

Thanks for clarifying it, also i think the creator of that mod IS thinking about making it compatible with FF according to some of his comments on his mod page. Thanks very much.
