v3.1.7

Four quality of life fixes to the item selector, in both the Studio window and the main game character maker.

Selected item is now actually visible. The selected grid cell was only tinted green behind the thumbnail, which was nearly invisible against the current theme. It now gets a thick green frame around the whole cell.

Picking an item no longer scrolls the list back to the top, so you can keep browsing from where you were instead of pressing "Scroll to selected" every time.

The folder menu no longer follows the mouse. The "+" / right-click menu used to move depending on which cell you clicked and sat near the bottom of the window. It is now pinned to the top right of the grid, next to the folder column, so it always appears in the same place.

The folder menu is no longer squashed. It used to crush the folder list down to two visible rows. It now fits about ten folders at once and only scrolls if you have more than that.

Install: drop HS2StudioCharaEditor.dll into BepInEx\plugins\, replacing the old one.

v3.0.0

Changelog

This major update introduces a new optional interface inspired by the original Honey Select 2 character creator, while keeping the old UI fully available. It also greatly expands preview caching, adds native access to several plugin features, and improves performance, window management, and overall usability. The goal is to never have to go back into the game to edit characters again. I plan to continue updating the plugin, and I hope for your support.

New UI

• Added separate navigation, editor, Status, and Plugin Settings panels.
• Reorganized Body, Face, Hair, Outfit, Accessories, and Character Settings to closely match the original game. Recreated the original-style sliders, numeric fields, reset controls, checkboxes, separators, and color settings.
• Added responsive preview grids that display all available items (no lags and faster!).
• You can resize windows now!
• Preview size and column count automatically adapt when resizing a window.
• Added preview search and scroll-to-current-item controls.
• Added UI scaling and persistent window positions, sizes, and collapsed states.
• Added proper support for ABMX XYZ scale splitting.
• Added a functional Uncensor Selector list.
• Added Material Editor access for:
  • Body, head, and the complete character;
  • Individual clothing slots;
  • Individual hair parts;
  • Eyes, eyelashes, and mouth materials.
• Added a dedicated Status panel.
• Added a Plugin Settings panel.

Integrated Plugin Controls

When the corresponding plugins are installed, their controls can now be used directly inside the new UI:

• Push Up, including Bra/Top settings and all breast adjustment parameters. Now you don't have to use my old PushUp for Studio plugin. It's now built into Character Editor.
• Collider Editor, including collider selection, dimensions, position, visibility, reset controls, and collider color.
• Pregnancy+.
• Skin and Clothes Overlays.
• Hair Shader Swapper.
• Hair Shader Properties.
• Material Editor.

Costume Card Browser

• Added a complete Studio coordinate browser for male and female clothing cards.
• Added recursive folder navigation, search, refresh, and sorting by name or modification date.
• Added large coordinate previews with optimized loading for large collections.
• Added separate actions for loading clothing, accessories, or the complete coordinate.
• Added coordinate deletion with confirmation and saving new coordinates.
• Significantly reduced OnGUI load when browsing large coordinate collections.

• Mesh types for every hair part.

Outfit and Accessories:

Old UI Improvements

Technical detail

updateClothCustomTexture falls back to vanilla ChaControl.InitBaseCustomTextureClothes whenever ChangeCustomClothes returns false. That vanilla method overwrites ctCreateClothes / ctCreateClothesGloss with = null without calling Release() first, so every invocation orphans up to 6 CustomTextureCreate instances — each owning a full-resolution mipmapped RenderTexture and a cloned Material, plus a readable ReadPixels Texture2D for the gloss variant.

ChangeCustomClothes can keep returning false for reasons unrelated to ctCreateClothes (a missing CmpClothes component, for example), in which case the fallback re-fired on every colour-drag tick — roughly 16 times a second at the current ColorDragApplyInterval of 0.06s.

Fixed by releasing the existing custom-texture stack before re-initialising it (mirroring what vanilla ChangeClothesAsync already does), plus a per-character/per-slot guard so the fallback runs at most once per clothes change and cannot loop. The guard is cleared in updateClothTypeAsync when the slot actually changes.
