There is now a website you can use to share your custom content with other users! But you're still welcome to use this page to share and discuss content.

Below is a list of finished custom (user-made) content. To add these characters, in most cases you can extract the downloaded file to the game's main directory and you're set. Depending on how the author has organized them, it may be necessary to move files to the appropriate directories. (Custom content has not been tested by me)
Note: After new content has been added, old saves won't be compatible.

If you have posted custom content in this thread, I will (eventually) add your link to the list above, along with a small screenshot if you have included one. Be sure to test your content in-game before posting.


Helpful things:

--> Medium build girl, the .psd that was used to create the built-in characters, is available with layer names in English.

--> Not feeling artistic? You can use any of these images for making custom characters.

--> Notepad++ with syntax highlighting for Heartache 101 can be a big help with story creation.

--> If you are writing story content that includes the appearance of existing characters (built-in or custom), the following list may be of reference:
ID 0 = The Player
ID 1 = Nakajima Miki
ID 2 = Ikeda Keika
ID 3 = Onishi Tsubasa
ID 4 = Kaneshiro Shihoko
ID 5 = Kaneshiro Riho
ID 6 = Sato Akari
ID 7 = Hiraoka Hinami
ID 8 = (Secret character)
ID 9 = Watanabe Junko
ID 10 = Mitsuya Masako
ID 11 = Monotami Ruri
ID 12 = Nemoto Mayu
ID 13 = Terakado Shoko
ID 14 = Shirazu Izumi
ID 15 = Watanabe Aoi, Lambaria Yuu
ID 16 = Ran Fujioka
ID 17 = Torako Koizumi
ID 18 = Yumemi Tanno
ID 19 = Umehara Joruri
ID 21 = 21 Ways
ID 22 = Kirinashi Kyouki
ID 23 = Reserved for Nekochi
ID 24 = Reserved for Nekochi
ID 25 = Kuwabara Emiko
ID 26 = Reserved for triad2
ID 27 = Katanashi Seira
...
ID 30 = Vacant
ID 31 = Maeda Eriko
ID 32 = ? Genji
ID 33 = Vacant
...
ID 39 = Vacant
ID 40 = Konohana Midori
ID 41 = Natsume Rika
ID 42 = Vacant
ID 43 = Vacant
ID 44 = Hasegawa Kanon
ID 45 = Vacant
...

(Note: You don't need to care about this list if your story events will not include existing characters, as ID numbers for characters in separate files don't have to be unique)

--> Finally, I've listed the game cheats here. You can use these during story events to test your content:
SHIFT + F5 -- Adds 10 to Looks
SHIFT + F6 -- Adds 10 to Athletics
SHIFT + F7 -- Adds 10 to Personality
SHIFT + F8 -- Adds 10 to Mind
SHIFT + F9 -- Adds 10 to Soul
ALT + F5 -- Adds 1000 to yen
ALT + F6 -- Active speaker's affection decreases by 100
ALT + F7 -- Active speaker's affection increases by 100
ALT + F8 -- Advances the calendar by 1 day
ALT + F9 -- Advances the calendar by 7 days

This is megami tamaya

This is asaya koba (yay for shrine maiden)

This is sarah welden an american exchange student

I've made 4 more chars and will post them later
Edit: The image didnt show up >.<
Hello flowerthief, I noticed you made all your characters from the same templates, and you just added a head for each of them, so could you simply give me the templates for the bodies, and then I can make my own heads, thank youse!

Close, but not quite! As they stand, your "links" are referring to your hard drive when it's expecting an "http" reference. Try uploading those pics into your locker. After they finish uploading, click on an image link that the locker has. Right-click on the image, choose "Copy Image location". Edit your post, replacing the text of the character you copied, currently surrounded by the "img" tags, by pasting the text that's in your buffer. Repeat as necessary. Volia!

As for my group shot, I'm using both "hide" and "img". Animator, you might want to hit "quote" on this post (but not necessarily respond to it) to see how this works!



*Edit: Why did I not think of using GIMP originally? Thanks for the tip, dude797!


*Edit 2: Animetor, it might help the process if you had multiple tabs/windows open!
Okay here are my characters

Asaya Koba- a shrine maiden who has lost all hope of love


Chiru Goro- a young genius who is very friendly but has no friends


Masai Taka- A loudmouthed popular girl who defeats all the competition with dirty tricks


Miyo Fukuya- A tough as nails fighter who laughs in the face of danger


Sarah Welden- A shy exchange student who just wants to fit in


Shi Oni- Her first name means death and her surname means demon... very fitting indeed


And finally
Megami Tamaya-An angel who has lost all her power and has became human but still kept her wings


Thats all my custom characters
every time i try to load the game it says Error:state invalid for character ID 8 in file 'Shi Oni Profile.txt'
Do i need to make a story for this character before giving them an ID and trying to start the game
i tried giving them a test story but the game still says the error thing

So close! The link I wanted you to use was:
http://rpgmaker.net/media/content/users/14201/locker/Asaya_Koba_Neutral.png

You get there by following the the link embedded in the "Asaya_Koba_Neutral.png" that's in your locker. When you see the image, that's the page where I wanted you to "Copy Image Location"! Probably should have been more specific...

Speaking of locker files, I must admit to have "peeked" at a few of those pictures. I mean, as long as I was there to get the "correct" reference, and all...


*Edit: Oh, yeah, the error message. Does it literally say, in the profile's text, "ID 8"? Because there should be an "=" between "ID" and "8" for the game to recognize it.
there definetaly is an = between ID and 8

Invalid state... well, if you put her into an emotive stance that is not covered by one of her graphic files, that might do it. I've not tried to show a graphic outside of the ones I know a girl has, but I presumed that if one of those fields didn't have an associated graphic, it would go to the "closest" emotive state to the one that was caused via story conditions. Not sure about how the "OTHER"s work, though.

Information: The known states, from the top of my head, are DISLIKE, UNFRIENDLY, NEUTRAL, FRIENDLY, LIKE, LOVE, LOVESICK, OTHER1, OTHER2, and OTHER3.

Side note: It would probably help lots to see the offending section of file. For beta-testing purposes, of course!


*Edit: Abuse the hide tag, Animetor!
this the offending part of the file (I included a bit extra just in case)

ID = 8

DISLIKE = Shi Oni Dislike

UNFRIENDLY = Shi Oni Dislike

NEUTRAL = Shi Oni Neutral

FRIENDLY = Shi Oni Like

LIKE = Shi Oni Like

LOVE = Shi Oni Love

LOVESICK = Shi Oni Lovesick

OTHER1 =

OTHER2 =

OTHER3 =

FACE X =

FACE Y =

THEME = Eiko Shimamiya - Higurashi no Naku Koro ni - copy

FIRST NAME = Shi

LAST NAME = Oni

NAME KNOWN = no

YEAR = 2

YEAR KNOWN = no

SIGN = Cancer


The names of images aren't wrong cause they're in the tachie and I copied then pasted the names

I could be wrong, but the system doesn't recognize white space. It's looking in the "Tachie" directory for "Shi.png", not "Shi Oni Dislike.png", or whatever.

Try altering the file names to have underscores where the spaces are, fix the file to reflect the changes, then see what happens! Yes, the music file too just in case!


*Edit: Should that somehow fail (I hope not), remove the capitalization from the file names too.
ive done exactly as you have said and it still displays the error message

So not only did you rename to something like "shi_oni_dislike" (or like convention), but copy-pasted that naming convention into the profile for accuracy. Damn, I don't think I've got any more suggestions!

*Head hurts*
am i meant to write ".png" after the name cause i didn't write ".png" after the name of the picture (treied that didnt work)

or maybe it could be that after the "=" i put a space then the picture name ( didnt work)

i will experiment with these ideas (they never worked)

>.<

Maybe if i put a picture for OTHER1 OTHER2 and OTHER3 it would work (nope)
ill put a different picture for all things that need one(it didnt work)

One doesn't need to put anything in the OTHER fields, as they are optional. Looking at the built-in profiles, they don't have the "PNG" extensions either, so that's not the problem. Is it because the graphics themselves are not built from the same graphics that we've been throwing around in this thread thus far? Could the program be looking for a value for FACE X and FACE Y? I doubt getting the those values in will fix anything, but it's the only thing I've got with what you're showing.

Anyway, I've hit something of a sang myself with one of my characters. I'll hide-tag what I'm currently working on, but I think you will see what I want to do with this girl:

CUSTOM 1 = *Stares disapprovingly*
CUSTOM 2 = *Stares uncomfortably*
CUSTOM 3 = *Tilts her head in cordial recognition*
CUSTOM 4 = *Slightly smiles*
CUSTOM 5 = *Nods in your general direction*
CUSTOM 6 = *Embarrassed smile*
CUSTOM 7 = *Hides her face in panic*
CUSTOM 8 = *Turns her head disapprovingly upward*
CUSTOM 9 = *Shakes her head*
CUSTOM 10 = *Nods goodbye*
CUSTOM 11 = *Waves goodbye*
CUSTOM 12 = *Smiles sadly*
CUSTOM 13 = *Breathes deep*
CUSTOM 14 = *Clasps her hands over her heart*
CUSTOM 15 = *Blank stare*
CUSTOM 16 = *Quickly scribbles on a small sheet of paper, and shyly hands it to you*
CUSTOM 17 = *Blank stare*
CUSTOM 18 = *Quickly scribbles on a small sheet of paper, and shyly hands it to you*
# Actually, getting her phone number at all would be a chore and a half! It would also cause potential trouble in the future.
CUSTOM 19 = *Blank stare*
CUSTOM 20 =
# ...Like now!
ill just remove all states apart from neutral then see how that goes(didnt work)
shorten the file names
i know what i done wrong!!
and i have corrected it !!!!
yyyyyyyyyyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
I've started making my story with shi oni and I'm gonna make the other characters profiles too ^^
Higurashi! Cool.
Glad you were able to fix the problem. From the error message, it would have been something wrong with the "STATE =" field.

Hello flowerthief, I noticed you made all your characters from the same templates, and you just added a head for each of them, so could you simply give me the templates for the bodies, and then I can make my own heads, thank youse!

What you want is the "medium build girl" template, which has been linked to a couple times in this thread as well as in the help file.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the situation (I probably am!), but it seems to me that if he has a custom file that has the same name as a built-in module's file, the built-in module would, and should, have priority.

It was actually a discrepancy between the order in which the game read stories for a master hash and the order in which it read the actual content of stories (one was alphabetical, the other wasn't). But now that you mention it, giving a file the same name as another file would cause errors. I'm not sure what the chances are that two separate users might name their files the same name, but I had better do something to preempt such a conflict.

Anyway, I've hit something of a sang myself with one of my characters. I'll hide-tag what I'm currently working on, but I think you will see what I want to do with this girl:

Maybe...
CUSTOM 20 = *Muffled breathing*

For actual phone stories, I dunno, maybe she sends you messages while you talk to her on the phone? Are there cellphones that allow you to read email or messages while you've got someone on the line?

Btw, I like that 4-girl image you put up. If having only 3 girls appear on screen at a time in the game is too limiting, it's not impossible that I might be talked into allowing more. But if someone only need such a shot for one scene, I think they could work around the limitation by putting multiple girls into one image and assigning it as the tachie for an OTHER slot.
