May 2024 2.6 RC3

Notice

This is an RC, a pre-release, a beta. It's not considered tried and true, but I've yet to find an issue. However, 2.6 features massive changes to the way files are handled, so I'd be remiss if I didn't warn you that there's a distant chance of an unforeseen bug. Enjoy!

Changes

2.6 was an extensive upgrade, and this should even allow Linux users to use CMI with wine in a normal fashion. Apart from that, the component select bug breaking 2.5 is fixed, a few more bugs are fixed, and CMI's overall file size was even reduced!

Hopefully this will be the definitive update for CMI, I think it's reached a very good state now.

• Removed update downloader.
• Translated the remaining code in the C# dll to inno script (using two(2) win apis invoke), CMI no longer uses any extra dll as a result, which means Linux users should no longer have an issue and it should be more stable and performant.
• Refactored a bunch of code that relied on CMD calls. Now using win api's file operation stuff to move and copy files around (you may see a familiar window pop up during installs) and some native inno functions for other stuff.
• Minor code fixes, removal of leftovers, and cleaning and stability stuff.
• Fixed an issue where Eng CR registry fixing did nothing and Jap CR Registry fixing created (harmless) junk in the registry.
• Fixed annoying component install bug that could lead to components that should be off being on and locked.
• Now includes a proper uninstaller. No longer do you uninstall through the installer.
• Compressed the included images and textures to reduce the file size of CMI, losslessly (it means the images look exactly the same).
• Removed some old UI translation textures that seemed to do absolutely nothing.
• Republished the DLC checker using some new net 8.0 features to reduce it's file size.
• No longer are you able to get nothing. You always get the core essentials which are bepinex and some other stuff like UnityInjectorLoader.
• Reorganized component selection as a result of changes to component options.
• Edits to the readme to bring it up to date.
• Some other stuff I probably forgor 💀
• Updated: SSL, EEH, EditLoadBodyFix, MemoriesModeUnlock
• Added: LimitBreak2

This is based on RC3 & RC4
This means it contains a bunch of unlisted changes if you're coming from the latest release (AKA, not a pre-release).

February 2024 Update 1

Now requires 2.34+

A bunch of things were updated, we went on a bug hunt this week and found a few very pesky and illusive ones that I had disregarded as user error. Hopefully I got them all. But this means the build is full of changes which aren't tried and true.

Updated

• ShapekeyMaster
• ModRefresh
• ShortStartLoader
• ShortMenuVanillaDatabase
• ShortMenuLoader
• ScriptLoader
  • Updated all scripts to match too.
• i18nEx
• UnityInjectorLoader
• DistortCorrect

  • Use ShaderServant
• CustomNyou
  • Weird and kinda useless

  • Tired of errors.

  • Reported to cause issues by a modder.

Added

• Edited the file moving process so it properly works with some folders that were missed.

January 2024 Update 1

WARNING

2.34 has caused issues with a number of plugins. Updating is not recommended as of this time.

Changes

• Added: LoadEditedNPCs, NoMoanSubs, InvertLearntScript, QuickWorkSchedule, EditModeHighlights, EventCharacterListFix
• Updated: MaidLoader

August 2023 Update 1

Changes

• Updated: AMM, CornerMessage, ExtendedErrorHandling, ForceScheduleEvents, ConfigManager, MaidLoader
• Removed: MaidFiddler, SmoothAnim, PropMyItem
• Added: CheatMenu, TimeDependentPhysics, ColorPresetNum
• Disallowing most of everything in 2.5. 2.5 is for the KC Editor where 90% of the plugins are useless. Get used to it.

June 2023 Update 1

Changes

• Fixed an issue where the uncensors prevented the new restraint vibrator machine from working properly. Go crazy.

Warning

The only fix mentioned above is fundamentally an issue with mod bodies that now need to have their armature updated. If you use a mod body that isn't the CMI included LoMob, expect this issue. Either fix it yourself, use LoMob or wait for someone to do it.

Possible Issues

• In 2.5, NPR may have been broken in the latest versions of both versions of the game. Remove it if you get errors to check.
• In 2.5, the latest versions have updated male bodies and rendered the ones in CMI non-functional. Don't install them, or don't select them.

May 2023 Update 1

Minor update to fix a serious potential issue. Nothing else was done. If you're already installed with no issues, don't bother updating.

Changes

• AdvancedMaterialModifier now cannot be installed to 2.5

April 2023 Update 1

Hey folks, back again this month with another minor maintenance update!

The CMI survey is going away. It's been running for a few years and it's accrued nearly 1,500 responses. Thanks to all participants but as CMI is entering it's LTS stage of life (and the only replies now are from people who want me to somehow dumb down CMI further, add features I can't, or claim that CMI broke their games/computer/life), I figure it's time to retire it.

If you have any questions, comments, problems or concerns though, feel free to drop an issue here or stop by the Custom Maid Discord server and ask in the COM3d2 support channels or any other appropriate channels.

Changes

• Updated Toolkit
• Updated MaidLoader
• Updated ACCex and opened it for 2.5
• Replaced survey links with links to CM discord.
