About empty invite menu... EDIT 11/17 (Patreon)
Content
EDIT : My diagnostic was a bit wrong, it's not a bug from KK_BrowserFolders.dll. Version 2.5.1 and probably following ones have an option in the BepInEx setting,
(Maker/Studio Browser Folder) Avoiding kPlug invitation scan
This option is probably enabled by default, that's why the invitation menu is empty, if you disable it, it works.
Next kPlug version will add an option to define how many cards can be loaded in the invitation menu, it should help people who have a lot of cards to save memory and load H scene quickly.
I have received various feedback regarding an issue with the invite menu in Free H mode, for some users the girls tab menu is empty.
I did some test with a BepInEx folder that a user with this problem sent to me and the super great mod that create this problem is
KK_BrowserFolders.dll
here the version of this mod is 2.5.1.0, the version I have in my own BepInEx is 2.2.0.0 and this one is working fine, if you want to test, here it is.
I should have guess the problem was with a recent version of this mod because the same kind of issue happened with hs2Plug, at some point of its history, the KK_BrowserFolders decided to completely handle the UserData/chara/female( and male ) directories, it prevents kPlug to load and list cards from those folders... when it comes to another folder, kWhore or kBuddy it works fine, the used methods are identical, it's just the target folder that change. Conclusion KK_BrowserFolders.dll 2.5.1.0 is shit, I don't know if the problem is the same with version that came after that.
I don't really now what is the BepInEx folder I've used to identify this problem, I've got a zodgame popup window on first launch, but anyway, I was quite surprised by the tons of dlls contained, I don't know what half of them do and I'm quite sure many of them are in best case useless, in worst problematic.
I saw how eager people can be to get new things for their favorite H games, so I can understand why some can't resist to get the latest Repack, the latest HFpatch.... But jeez, open your eyes, 2 or 3 updates of kPlug brings a lot more new content than a new repack or patch. Since the patch or repack projects have started to be on Patreon, the author needs to do frequent updates just to satisfy the fan base, for just minor changes it makes people download and re-downloading Giga Bytes of the exact same datas, it's a big waste of energy.
I'm sorry but I don't have time to make test with every new repack or patch that came out, I'm not making money with a package of other people works but with new content I build myself, and it takes time.
