Animations not changing

Open GentlemanPugeon opened this issue 1 year ago • 7 comments

I’ve had this persona 5 boot animation sequence for a while and I wanted to switch it for something else but every time I select a new animation, the same persona 5 animation runs. The suspend and throbber animations works perfectly but I can’t get new animations to run for the boot up sequence. I’ve attempted uninstalling and reinstalling the animation changer but it doesn’t work. Any ideas on what I can do to troubleshoot?

Hey, based on the source code, you need to modify your config.json in desktop mode.

So:

  1. Switch to desktop mode
  2. Open dolphin (the file explorer)
  3. Navigate to Home > homebrew > settings > SDH-AnimationChanger Or /home/deck/homebrew/settings/SDH-AnimationChanger/
  4. Double click the config.json to open in a text editor
  5. Scroll to the top and find the randomize variable (The value should be set to "")
  6. Change the value of randomize to "all", so "randomize": "all"
  7. Save and go back to gaming mode, double check the Shuffle on Boot option is enabled (just to be sure)
  8. Reboot.

Good luck

I followed your instructions and, unfortunately, the same boot up played

I verified I changed the code properly. I also verified the correct id’s are selected for boot thru randomize. I think maybe I just glitched the program or something. Is there a hard reset for animation changer that won’t affect my other plugins?

The mechanism for the plugin setting the actual boot animation is just creating a symbolic link from the downloaded animation into the official animation override directory based on the file names in the python script. To verify that the plugin is working, just visit that directory in desktop mode and ensure that the animations are in proper location and the boot animation is selected in Steam customization settings. See the Python script for file names and paths.

Make sure you have the steam deck boot up animation off in your SD settings. Like the ones you can purchase from the coin shop
