DIM REMOVAL MOD v1.2 - MADE COMPATIBLE WITH MITSUMERU LIST v1.5C
Current version: v1.2 (with ML v1.5C)

UPDATES FOR THIS PASTE (AS OF 09 JUN 2016)

Experimental versions are coming soon.
One of them is discussed in this post:

CREDITS

The latest version of the original "dim removal" mod is upillu2836. It is available here:
http://uppervolta-3d.net/
(What you will get there are only the modified dialogue files and the audio file splitting tool.)

Mitsumeru list is produced by the author of the JS3Fictions blog. For more information, refer to this paste.

The English translation is produced by /aa2g/, and it is available here:

WHAT IS THIS MOD?

"Talk about X" lines are originally said during a fade-to-black sequence.

Anten kaihi (暗転回避, translated as "dim avoidance") is a mod which makes characters display poses/facial expressions when they use their "Talk about X" lines.

Sample:

Take note:
  * The original anten kaihi (AK) is not compatible with the original Mitsumeru List (ML). That is why I combined their features together.
  * It is possible to make an AK mod without ML integrated, but it's inconvenient. The closest you will get is the CLEAN version, which sole ML feature is the "hand holding" line.
  * The poses/facial expressions used by the personalities are taken straight from upillu2836. That is, I didn't decide on them.


DOWNLOAD LINKS

Wizzard and AA2Install ready. Using AA2Install is advised because it deletes leftover files.

DIM REMOVAL AUDIO FILES - Install this once
This may be labeled for AK v1.1 but it works for AK v1.2.

Refer to this paste for their differences. http://pastebin.com/BDBTVQXa

Installation instructions:
  1. Get the AUDIO component of dim removal mod.
  2. Get one of the listed items for the DIALOGUE component. (The difference of each is how the characters look like during conversations).
  3. Install the AUDIO and the DIALOGUE component in any order using Wizzard or AA2Install. You may also install them manually.

Technical notes:
  1. Install the all-in-one translation pack first before installing this mod; never do the other way around.
  2. If you have the disk space, back up your voice files before installing this mod.
    - Wizzard isn't capable of deleting the added voice files which may cause problems after uninstallation.
    - There's also a chance that voice files get corrupt when things go wrong during mod installation.
    - If you lost your original "Talk about X" files, you may get them here (http://pan.baidu.com/s/1qW0UOzy PW: apni).
      However, you will have to manually replace and remove AK-related files.
  3. Installing the audio component may take a while because the voice files are large.
     If possible, avoid interrupting the installation.
  4. This will not work for custom/modded personalities.
     What happens is that you get a 0% success rate if you use the "Talk about X" interaction to them.
     For that case, refer to the "Compatibility Patches" section.

Terms of use:
  * Redistribution, making derivatives, and similar stuff are allowed.
  * When redistributing, take responsibility when people have problems using the mod.


DOWNLOAD LINKS -- COMPATIBILITY PATCHES

This section is abandoned because I normally leave it up to the personality's author to make his work compatible with AK. This is in order for him to get the control to the personality's poses and facial expressions.

Please get the compatibility patch of HEXAPP if you are using it. (Below is not my link)
https://mega.nz/#F!jt8C2bhb!gxmBLpGko-oLtcOte8jlqA

Otherwise, here are some of the compatibility patches that I made.

     (The compatibility patch for /aa2g/ Empress doesn't work with Snooley's Empress.)
  3. Install the compatibility patch using your preferred method.


AFFECTED FILES AND TECHNICAL DETAILS

This mod affects jg2_02_###_00.lst and jg2_03_###_00.lst, from the following PP files:
  - jg2p00_00_00.pp (base personalities)
  - jg2p00_00_01.pp (pre-order personality, Cadet)
  - jg2p00_00_02.pp (append personalities, Caring and Schemer)
  - jg2p00_00_04.pp (append personalities, Carefree and Warm)

The modded jg2_02_###_00.lst is responsible for the changes in facial expression, pose and camera angle.
It is also at the same file where the poses and facial expressions of the "Talk about X" lines are added.

The "Talk about X" lines are blanked out in jg2_03_###_00.lst to avoid redundancy.
This produces an output where you get to a fade-to-black sequence displaying only the character's name for a split second before seeing the conversation results.

---

This mod also affects the following LST files from jg2p00_00_00.pp:
  - TalkCondition.lst
  - ReactReact.lst
  - LowTalk.lst

-- In-depth explanation --
http://i.imgur.com/JKDQpqE.png

Effect of modified TalkCondition.lst:
  [Without mod]
  PC: "Let's talk" -> NPC: "Yes" -> (enter fade to black) -> NPC: "So I told the guy..." -> conversation result -> (exit FTB)
  [With mod]
  PC: "Let's talk" -> NPC: "So I told the guy..." -> (enter fade to black) -> conversation result -> (exit FTB)
  * The outcome past "Let's talk" when NPC says "no" is the same whether or not you installed the mod.

Effect of modified ReactReact.lst:
  [Without mod]
  NPC: "Let's talk" -> Choose "yes" -> (enter fade to black) -> NPC: "So I told the guy..." -> convo result -> (exit FTB)
  [With mod]
  NPC: "Let's talk" -> Choose "yes" -> NPC: "So I told the guy..." -> (enter fade to black) -> convo result -> (exit FTB)
  * The outcome past "Let's talk" when choosing "no" is the same whether or not you installed the mod.

During eavesdropping, NPCs always follow the same sequence of "Talk about X" when interacting with each other, regardless of whether or not the mod is installed.

---

Starting Mitsumeru v1.5, the mod affects the following files from jg2e01_00_00.pp:
  - A00_10_##_00.eyes (## = 00-06, corresponding to default female face types 1-7)
  - S00_10_##_00.eyes (## = 00-03, corresponding to default male face types 1-4)

Since jg2e01_00_00.pp is a Maker file, expect the changes to be global i.e. observable even outside conversation.
I'm talking about H-scenes and the general appearance of characters during creation.

Take note: The modifications to the EYES files affect only the default faces.
