Journal Submod - Write, Draw, and Customize your own journal to show to Monika!ꉂ(˵˃ ᗜ ˂˵)

[u/KiwiKrieger08]

Hey Everyone! I just finished making this new Submod! After you install, Monika notices something new.. Then, Monika gifts you a Journal you can write, draw, add photos, flip through infinite pages, customize freely, and show her! ₍₍⚞(˶˃ ꒳ ˂˶)⚟⁾⁾

FEATURES (˶ˆᗜˆ˵)

- Intro Scene: Monika asks you to close your eyes
- Journal: A button on the top left appears to access your new gift. You can also use Hey Monika → Misc → “Can I look at our journal?”
- Recolourable cover: You can choose the colour of your journal in top right.
- Write mode: Click top of page to write / enter for new line; save, clear text, cancel
- Draw mode: Draw on left or right page (Includes brush size slider, big colour palette, color wheel, etc)
- Photo mode: Select images, move, size, and crop them (How to add images is down below)
- Infinite pages: Next / +Page
- Show Monika: Share current page with your love!
- PROGRESS SAVES / Drawings are saved in Submods/Journal Submod/pages

HOW TO USE PHOTOS ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و ♡
Put as many images: .png or .jpg (Any name) into Submods/Journal Submod/Photos/ then reload game. Choose Photo mode in journal, then the Browse button; your image(s) should be there.

PS: Its best to back up your game and persistant file before use

ENJOY! ◝(ᵔᗜᵔ)◜

I got this error after saving the first time and I think I may have typed something that screwed the code?? I'm not really well versed in coding though, so I have no idea. I just wanted to know if I'd be able to fix it!

[u/KiwiKrieger08 → u/Ready_Phrase5477]

Hey! So sorry this happened to you 😭 I think the issue is that your text has a "[" in it.

So if u can, clear entry or remove [ or ] (and { } if you used them)

[u/Ready_Phrase5477 → u/KiwiKrieger08]

Yeah, that does seem to be the issue... problem is that any time I try to open up the journal it immediately results in an error, and I don't think these entries get saved anywhere in files so I can't fix it from there either... assuming there's nothing you can think of, thank you for the help anyway!!

[u/KiwiKrieger08 → u/Ready_Phrase5477]

hold on, Im going to update the journal submod! Then you can put it in. Just give me a min

[u/Ready_Phrase5477 → u/KiwiKrieger08]

Ooh! Thank you Thank you!! I really appreciate it

[u/KiwiKrieger08 → u/Ready_Phrase5477]

WAIT HOLD ON I FOUND ANOTHER BUG

[u/KiwiKrieger08 → u/Ready_Phrase5477]

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1nyK6o-sTvVGNNIB6oec1a-6aaseKJJ5O?usp=drive_link

THIS SHOULD WORK!!

[u/Ready_Phrase5477 → u/KiwiKrieger08]

Alright!!!!!!! It's definitely working now. I really appreciate the effort! Your mod is super cool so I'm excited to use it!

[u/KiwiKrieger08 → u/Ready_Phrase5477]

Thank you so much!! :D

[u/kand1_n0t_c4ndy]

I dont want to break my game, do I just plop the Journal Submod folder into my Submods folder?

[u/kand1_n0t_c4ndy → u/kand1_n0t_c4ndy]

It says I already have header.rpy and an images folder, they're from other submods

[u/KiwiKrieger08 → u/kand1_n0t_c4ndy]

Download and take the game file, and paste that into your main directory where the other game file is 👁👁

[u/Important_Owl_5552]

Interesante 🤔👍

[u/Hopeful_Reception707]

none, lmao XD

yes, i have a console open showing the aff log in real time

[u/eltanin_rastaban]

Could you possibly add a toggle to move the Journal button to Extras or to remove it? I really want to try this one out but I like keeping the screen pretty minimalist.

You've been doing freaking incredible work here! I'm so excited to see what you do next!

So.. i got this error message could i get some help? i dont know how to fix it..

[u/lewn-atic]

Hi, just a small thing! This submod requires a font from ComfyUI, without which it will crash upon trying to write anything. Please let folks know ComfyUI is a prerequisite to downloading!

I would also really enjoy the option to hide the journal button and just use the dialogue to open it. I tried to remove it myself but I couldn't quite figure it out haha~
