Persona 5 Royal Battle Music Randomizer

Download the Reloaded II package on GameBanana!

Updated version! Glitches seem to be fixed!

Battle and victory theme randomizer, in the spirit of the RPCS3 random BGM patch for vanilla P5. The mod adds shuffled DLC tracks (and a few extra songs from P3D/P5D) to the Take Over, Last Surprise, and Triumph tracklists. Encounters with special battle music (minibosses, bosses) are unaffected.

Requires No Holdup Music mod to work properly! Go install that first!

Note: Steam only! Untested on Game Pass. I also haven't tested looping on all the custom tracks, but it should be working. Let me know if you notice any bugs and I will try to fix them ASAP!

Technical Details:

For the previous version of this mod I placed the extra tracks into new cues within the main BGM.acb. This caused lots of weird glitches. The new, totally revamped version actually hijacks the DLC costume ACB system. The costume music flag is hardcoded to always be 01 and BGM_01 has been replaced with a new ACB made from scratch in Cri Atom Craft. Besides fixing lots of glitches, doing it this way also reduces the filesize tremendously!

Adding Tracks:

For now, adding/removing/swapping tracks requires using Atom Craft (or ACE, but it seems buggy) to recompile the ACB/AWB (see the music replacement tutorial for details.) If you do this, make sure the cues remain set to Shuffle, otherwise the randomization won't work.

A future update will add some sort of menu so users can toggle individual tracks on and off.

Use the 1-click install, or download the archive manually and unzip it into your mods folder.
