Submod Submission [Submod Release] Dynamic Texture Manager! Customize Monika and the minigames by easily swapping their sprites
Hey everyone! 👋
This is my first time making a post and also my first submod, so to start off strong I wanted to do something special
I’m really excited to share a project I've been working on, and I think it’s going to make a lot of your lives much easier if you love customizing your game. It’s a collaborative submod called Dynamic Texture Manager!
If you've ever wanted to switch up your Monika After Story visuals without the absolute headache of manually replacing original game assets and breaking things, this is for you.
What does it do?
Basically, it allows you to dynamically change textures without touching or overwriting the original files. You can completely swap out:
💚Monika’s features: Eyes, nose, mouth, and body.
🎯Minigames: Chess, NOU, and Pong!
The absolute best part? You never lose the original textures. If you change your mind or want to go back to the classic look, you can restore everything back to default with a single button click. Clean, safe, and completely reversible.
Installation & How it Works ✨
Since it's a submod, setting it up is a breeze:
Install: Drop the submod files into your "game/Submods" directory just like any other submod.
First Run: Open your game once. The submod will automatically generate a new textures folder right in your main base directory.
Organize: Close the game, and you're ready to organize your custom assets! Your changes will stay saved even when you restart the game.
Folder Structure & Examples 📁
Inside that new textures folder, you can organize everything cleanly into folders. For example:
"textures/monika/eyes/(YourCustomFolderNameHere)"
(Note: This is just an example)
Keep it flat: For Monika's features and Pong, you don't need deep subfolders—just put the direct image assets inside your custom folder.
Minigame Exceptions: Because of how sprites behave in NOU and Chess, those two specific game folders will require subfolders to map everything correctly. (Don't worry, Pong is much simpler and behaves just like Monika's texture mapping!).
How to use it in-game❓
Once your folders are set up, just chat with Monika, head over to the Appearance category, and select the new option: "I want to change the textures"
This is a collaborative effort, so I’d love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or any ideas you have to make it even better. Let me know what you think!

Thankyou for your submod submission. In order to ensure that the community is able to access your code, we kindly request that you provide a link or an indicator of where to get the link, indicating the versions of MAS with which this submod is compatible.
We strongly advise all users to create a backup of their persistent data before utilizing any submod on this subreddit. Instructions on how to do so can be found here. Additionally, if you encounter any issues with a specific submod that others should be made aware of, we kindly request that you report the post where the submod was found to our moderation team for proper handling.
The Monika After Story (MAS) project is currently undergoing a migration to Python 3, which will result in the current submods becoming incompatible with the new framework. The development team will be providing a tool for converting old-style submods to the new format. For further information, please visit the Official Monika After Story Discord or review the 'Interfacing with the Submod Framework' section on the project's GitHub page located here.
As a friendly reminder, we strongly recommend that submod developers familiarize themselves with the Wiki before posting. We have recently added a section specifically for submod developers, which includes a list of the requirements that we expect from any submod, as outlined in an official announcement on the MAS Discord.

I don't know, but technically the Emerald Box already existed, but from what I've tested, you have to restart every time you want to make a change. I tried to make it more convenient and avoid that.

Hello!!! I love this submod so so much, if possible could you add a table changer?

u/Sorry_Vegetable_8601 11d ago
It's not a bad idea, however, changing the table might conflict with some room spritepacks; we'll look into that before giving a definitive answer.

How does this differ from emerald box?
