That is hard to say as kidnap stuff or anything where Sveta is gone for a bit messes up a lot of other story stuff for the game and makes a LOT of work for us. By underground I take it you mean kidnapped, forced prostitution etc.

BDSM stuff if that is what you mean is being added, Kevin is working on it a lot and from time to time I work on Kendra at the Uni who does it as does a few others work on other NPC's into that stuff.

Is this about the mansion? Or something else?

Kevin Smarts said:

I do have a plan to rework the BDSM brothel on the highway. I was hoping to get someone to write the content itself but haven't found a willing victim. Might have to do some of that myself to get it done. Could mean Anna gets even further delayed.

Click to expand...

Are you thinking of adding more content or reworking the system itself? A more interactive / less random system would be really fun. In any case, if I may make a suggestion, there should be some way to get into the hotel by learning about it, instead of being raped. I feel that being raped in this way and then saying, yeah, I loved it, is comically unrealistic and there should be a better way to unlock the content. Perhaps it could be a fragmentary rumour at school, that no one dares actually check (the kind of urban horror that people tell each other. If you go there at that time and order a black russian such and such happens). This can be worked into a dare you can take up or the information could be left hanging there for the player to decide whether they want to look into it.

The hitch hiking had a number of technical issues I spent some time on resolving with the code being sorted by others because a change that was made broke it and its not unlocking the road side prostitution currently.

Click to expand...

Wait, hitchhiking used to unlock road-side prostitution? Do you mean at the highway? I thought the only prostitution options were: gas station offers, offers made to high slut reputation characters in pavlovsk, the sauna, the massage parlour, and street prostitution in petersburg for low inhibition characters with the right clothes. And the hotel, I guess, technically.

Host said:

Almost all of them. The main menu image is working fine, the character background options are working and some locations like the bus stop. But the rest isn't

Sure you are using the recommend player on the OP?

If not that then maybe you had a corrupted DL of the core image pack, because if some work then all should work.

I did try invoking the NPC code for A127, but that led me to an NPC named Gosha, who isn't someone I ever remember running into. I found Shulyov's entry in npcstatic3, with the temp variable 127, but I'm not sure how to invoke his info in a dialogue string without implicating this Gosha character. would it just be something like 'You see <<$npc_firstname['A127']>> in his room'?

Click to expand...

I mean you could do something like that, but honestly I would just do

You see Shulyov in his room.

The only time we typically use code for a NPC is if they are a random generated one, Sveta aka the MC or her mom. Everyone else we just type out there name

Gosha is a boy in the Uni, not sure why you would see his name. But I am a writer and not a coder so someone like Kevin or Myles could likely explain it better.

I was referring to some of the places where you can be kidnapped and held for awhile etc. The mansion is a BDSM club basically, Kevin is working on it, so you would have to ask him what his long term plans are for it.

could you add more diner things as well and dirty up the trucker hitch hiking. There's a bug while fapping on the balcony in the city apartment, the game goes blank.

Are you talking about the diner out on the highway that Niko takes you to?

Oh no, I'm not terribly interested in the mansion, I was just curious what you were talking about, since, as far as I know, there basically isn't much BDSM content in the game at all. There is the hotel, the two mistresses and the mansion, and other than that, nothing else comes to mind. Which abduction events did you have in mind? The only ones I can think of are the one where you are held in the sauna, and two brief chains in the petersburg residential supermarket, and the city park.

those, but there is more than one people that do BDSM. Kendra at the Uni is one the mistress in the city is one. one of the pav boys and a couple of others do it as well who's name escapes me at the moment.

Hmmm I don't think I've seen the pav boy one, If you do remember who that is, I'd like to know as well.

I don't want to spoil his story, is why I didn't say his name. Since it is a bit of a surprise.

Thanks

I don't really care very much about spoilers, personally. If anything, this gives me an incentive to check his story out. Very unlikely I would, otherwise.

halcyonpurge said:

Gosha is just who comes up when searching for "A127". "ParkKafe" is only one of two locations in the entire game where this identifier is used in a narrative setting; it only otherwise appears briefly in "sny" which looks like Dimka's new years party, and in "npc_standard_preferences" for technical reasons, and whether it's referring to Gosha or Shulyov there isn't clear either.
View attachment 4594554
with this being set up the way that it is, i wasn't sure if relying on this relation value to influence Shulyov's dialogue was a good idea, because it could very well be manipulating Gosha's relationship by accident. until or unless i find out the "right" way to track the player's relationship with Shul, i've just set up a new soniaQW variable to keep track of it. i did also use the opportunity to try implementing a refractory period for him so that the player couldn't just endlessly drain his balls, but i've yet to find a reliable way of doing that.

Click to expand...

That is a bug, not sure how it happened but Gosha is using the wrong ID number in that scene and it is increasing Shulyov's and not his. Hopefully Kevin or one of the other coders see this and can go in a fix it.

That is the OLD way of doing it. The new way is

gs 'npc_relationship', 'modify', 'A#', 'like'
'like' => moves relationship positively a small amount (1/2)
'love' => moves relationship positively a moderate amount (3/4)
'adore' => moves relationship positively a large amount (5/6)
'dislike' => moves relationship negatively a small amount (-1/2)
'hate' => moves relationship negatively a moderate amount (-3/4)
'loathe' => moves relationship negatively a large amount (-5/6)

that way you can put in different tags and it gives a slightly random amount.

Some do and some don't but even if you didn't I didn't want to name him incase someone else reads my post and doesn't want to be spoiled.

Of course, of course, it's good practice

Nutluck said:

The spell Penis Envy was made by me, to give people that asked for a trans character the closest thing I could give them a bit of what they want. without creating a massive amount of work for us, for what is honestly a niche request for a game where the MC is a suppose to be a girl.

Click to expand...

Trans girls are girls though I can see how gameplaywise it makes no real difference. I'm relatively certain a lot of, if not most, trans women would prefer to be functionally identical in that regard to cis women. I suppose still needing HRT would be the only gameplay difference at that point but half the time that can be waved away by gameworld tech and/or magic.
That said... I don't like the name of that spell but don't really have a suggestion for improvement. Magock. IDK.


Anyway, onward to ?bug? reporting.
Baseline: I used the "I have a lot of friends" Popular-Magic-One Month before School starts settings. In terms of cheat menu usage I've looked through it several times to check stats, adjusted money amount a few times when I accidentally save scummed over my own jackpot at the one-armed bandit, and one teleport from the City Center to Pavlosk. It is currently Wednesday, 28 September 2016 in game time. Relaxed Difficulty with 0% skill degradation. This save file was started on version 0.9.5.1.

First, I get an "Unknown Action"/Code 119 popup when attempting most things at Tatiana's appearance modification. Some work as long as I have enough mana (but still have a Code 119 if I don't).

Second, I seem to be unable to learn spells. It always says "You diligently study the spell for an hour, but are unable to grasp it." Is there something beyond the stat requirement for learning them? I have level 50 magic and 100 spellcasting but even when I used cheats to test max stats Stun, Berserker Rage, Cure Wounds, Cure Disease, and Makeup still always say I can't grasp it. Also studying magic books sometimes says "You come across a lead on a new spell" and there's no new spell listed to learn.
(Some quick additional testing and I was able to learn Makeup after 5 attempts so I'm guessing your chances of learning increase as you keep trying. If that's the case I suggest making that more clear in the text; something like adding a bit on the end to the effect of the player having learned a bit more about the spell/gained some sort of insight/more confidence for next time/etc.)

Third, I can't join the Nerd study group anymore and I'm not sure why. I was able to in the past and was using it to build my relationships with the Nerd group. Now though the library says they're there but there is no option to join them.
In case it's relevant I have a good relationship (80+) with all of the female nerds with the male nerds hovering around 50ish (except Feofan who I have kicked in the balls twice now but is still at 42.) I have also tried going with homework done and with it not done; no option to join either way.

Fourth is more a note than anything; I'm glad that being a lesbian is an option but it is rather irritating to declare that you're a lesbian and still have decidely non-lesbian dreams and several dialogues that assume Sveta is straight. Like I get other people assuming she is I'm talking about dialogue where all of the player's dialogue or dialogue options are still heteronormative. For instance, the strangely flirty "Hello" option at school to Mr. Tsarev still has Sveta say "I need to find a nice man for myself," (Also that dialogue can trigger regardless of if you've actually done your homework... or been to the club. Just seems weird.)

That already exist with the magic guy city start and magic school boy starts where they are like a cis woman. The spell was made for the vocal minority that wanted a trans woman that still had a dick but was otherwise fully female. That was just not feasible as ever single sex scene and many others would have to have two versions, and worse finding the media. I ended up going with the magic dick looking like a strapon dildo but Sveta able to feel through it as if it was real for that reason, as it proved impossible to find images that fit. Maybe in the future when AI photo alteration gets better we will be able to.

As for the name no one had a better one that fit and made it pretty obvious by the name what the spell does. Also keep in mind the spell was made long ago so the name fitting the mindset of long ago also plays a factor into it.

Best bet for bugs is to report them on our discord or hope someone like Kevin can see these and fix them or point one of the coders to it.

I don't know how exactly it works but your stats matter and it takes time, some spells I believe take longer than others to learn.

Nerd study night to join them is only if you are also a nerd. It is like nerd game night, something only for nerd characters to do. We have a bit of jock only content as well and eventually all the social groups will have content only they can do.

The dreams need a revamp and I know Kevin was hoping to last update or the update before to finally get a setting for straight, lesbian, or default bi. But even once that is in place it will take us a LONG time to slowly added variations to some of those scenes. I honestly don't know if the base code is done and in game yet or not.
