How to see Octolings and play as them if you are a Japanese or European player! Check the comments!
Post
1. Go to gamebanana.com and find the mods "Rival Unpatch" and "Splatoon +". Download both of them
2. Unzip and install Rival Unpatch according to instructions. CHANGE the game folder name to 0005000010176A00 (EUR) or 0005000010162B00 (JP)
3. Unzip "Splatoon+" and go to "content/Pack" and select ONLY "Player.pack". Go back to "RivalEyes/content/Pack" and REPLACE "Player.pack" with the one from Splatoon+!
4. Put the sdcafiine folder back on the SD card or the Cemu graphic pack where it belongs and then start the console/emulator and game. Enjoy!!!
PS. If you want to play as an octoling yourself, you need to use the save editor "SplatHex" and change your gender to "2" which corresponds to octoling.
I would appreciate if someone could translate this for our Japanese friends!
soooo do we appear as octolings in online matches?
Yes! You will appear as an octoling in online matches, but only to other players that have the plugin. If you play in the evening, there's a bunch of Americans and half of them are octolings, which is 100% proof they can see you and you can see them.
Keep in mind you never fully know who has it, though. I, for example, am an Inkling but can see them
Sadly, it seems EUR and JP players haven't managed to figure this out yet, so when I play in the afternoon no one is an octoling. I want to get the word around as much as I can.
