[ILLUSION] Koikatu! - Questions & General Discussion Thread

Okay, I really don't use the Koikatsu main game, but I'll help you to the best of my knowledge. First, you need this plugin which is the BGMLoader plugin. It allows you to replace the audio of the game by changing the already existing music.

1. Convert your audio/music files to .OGG​

Koikatsu Party’s BGMLoader does not support MP3 files. You must convert them to OGG format. Use any free audio converter like this one:

Online Audio Converter - Сonvert audio files to MP3, WAV, MP4, M4A, OGG or iPhone Ringtones

online-audio-converter.com

Convert all your desired MP3 tracks to .ogg format as simple, single-track files.
TIP: Don't do it all at once, just convert one track to test if it works.

2. Add a folder in your BepInEx called BGM and follow the directory below

Basically follow the file path below:

3. Rename your files properly​

The BGMLoader works by replacing the vanilla game tracks based on file names. You must rename your new .ogg files to match the game's internal BGM IDs. The naming format must be strictly BGMxx.ogg, where xx is a two-digit number corresponding to the game's original tracks. That is the BGM that will replace the original audio.

Example: Name your file BGM00.ogg, BGM01.ogg, BGM02.ogg, etc

FOR TESTING PURPOSES: Just try replacing the title screen audio. For example, you use Sunshine by OneRepublic the change the filename to "BGM00.ogg" ​

4. Place the Files in the Correct Folder​

Once your files are converted and renamed, you need to place them in the BepInEx directory.

• Open the BepInEx folder.
• Look for a folder named BGM. Again, If it doesn't exist, create a new folder and name it exactly BGM.
• Move your renamed .ogg files (BGM00.ogg) into this BepInEx\BGM folder.

5. Test in Game​

Launch Koikatsu Party. The BGMLoader "should" automatically adjust the game's audio calls on startup and replace the stock background music with your custom tracks during runtime or that specific event in game.

If you're running into problems, let me know.

Thanks for the help
