Aric's Expansion Rebred v1.9: Update Soon? Version Game-Breaking Bug Risk Level: Low Previous Save Compatible: v1 (If using Ralph's Tweaks - New Save Recommended)\ Check out the details in the DevLog ! IMPORTANT ( Ignore if just Updating ): If you are installing this mod fresh (without having played it before on Strive4Power version 1d), this mod now requires Ankmairdor's BugFix v6b. It is mandatory and makes the new, far easier method of installing this game work, this mod won't install correctly without it. Please leave him a like/positive comment, his fixed mod framework is what eliminated that old 10-12 step process to install this massive mod. Once you have the Ankmairdor's BugFix v6b and AricsExpansion downloaded, all of the installation details are in the info.txt file (or you can read the updated version below). Download Ankmairdor's BugFix v6b (Required!) Smart people make backups of their save files: If you are using a non-backed up save file, it might become damaged while playing with a modded game. If your 50+ hours story mode campaign is lost and your favorite virtual waifu is gone forever because you DIDN'T copy and paste your save file somewhere nice and safe, please note that THIS is your warning that could have prevented it. Pro move? Back up your Progress Data as well. Installation and Update Instructions - IMPORTANT Any time that a new version of the mod is released or on a fresh install, you absolutely must do the following: Extract Ankmairdor's BugFix v6b and this mod, AricsExpansion, into your %AppData%/Strive/mods folder Verify that the extracted folders are "Strive-1.0d-Bugfix-V6b" and "AricsExpansion" (If they aren't, the correct folders are likely within the ones you extracted.) Start the Game; Activate BugFix v6b (and ONLY this). Hit the Exit Game button. Start the Game; Activate AricsExpansion BENEATH BugFix v6b. Hit the Exit Game button. Start the Game; Make a New Game. Immediately SAVE (as soon as possible). LOAD that game you just Saved. You are ready to play! Have fun and enjoy the new features. If you have any Bugs, please use the Debug mod to give me the specific error so we can resolve it. To upgrade BugFix 5a to v6b : Walk backwards through the steps. Fully deselect/uninstall ONLY AricsExpansion, Restart, THEN uninstall the Bugfix, restart, then start back at step 1 to reinstall all the new goodies. Take it slow, don't skip steps, and you won't break things. If you are using RalphsTweaks or want to enable/disable any features, please go to %AppData%/Strive/mods/customScripts/expansionsettings.gd and enable/disable your features. Custom Settings in expansionsettings.gd currently don't preserve through mod updates (but we're working on a solution to that). Changelog and Updates Changelog for v1.8d All Changelogs (All Changelogs leading up to v1.8, the rest are on the itch.io mod page under Dev Logs) GitHub and Discord If you are interested in keeping up with the very latest work as we update the mod, check out our GitHub . You can download the latest working version there with all bugfixes and new features, but you MUST rename the folder to AricsExpansion (as GitHub adds a '-main' to the folder name). If you're interested in talking to us regarding the mod, bugs, new features, etc; swing by our Discord . Only Install This Mod IF: You backed up your saves and Progress Data. I don't want to get blamed for breaking any games. You are willing to deal with the occasional bug and report those to me in this thread. I try to stay on bug-fixes when they are reported and will do my best, but please keep in mind that I do this on the side for fun and don't get too pissed off if I don't get to one right away. •Help Installing on a Mac (from RK76Manishog)• https://itch.io/post/1082017 It have been reported that you will also need to file the hidden .import files to move the .import files from the mod into.

I couldn't do this without you guys! •Mod Compatibility• Note: It is fairly obvious, but I highly recommend releasing any patches as a separate downloadable option and not doing this process for the original mod files, as that will cause an error if the user doesn’t have Aric’s installed and active. Note 2: This mod touches a LOT of files, due to the project to make full hybrid race support. To make Aric’s Expansion compatible with another mod: 1) Compare the files that the two mods alter from the base game (generally under “scripts”). Note any that both mods touch. 2) Find the alterations Aric’s Expansion made to the script. These are always between the “#—-Added by Expansion—-#” and the end marked by #—-Expansion End—-#”. 3) Copy and paste each section from Aric’s Expansion into the mod’s files. 4) Modify any “#Changed By Expansion#” parts of the script to match Aric’s Mod (usually by placing # in front of the changed part) 5) Ensure the mod (or patch of a separate patch was created instead) loads after Aric’s Expansion (which should override Aric’s with the patched mods files). Files that could not be specifically marked (Items and Traits) have their Modified script added to the end of their relative scripts. ---------------------------------------------------General Features--------------------------------------------------- Note: I've removed several of the "Explanations" for the new systems as some were out of date or just lengthy and replaced with the general Overview below for those requesting it. I plan on starting to work on a fleshed out "ReadMe" document with the detailed look at the explanations after the new update. •Overview• What is Aric's Expansion Rebred? At this point, its pretty much a Strive 4 Power expansion. It touches, changes, and updates most things in the game and adds multiple new systems. Some examples of the new systems or changes are: NPCs Expanded - Genital/Breast/Lip Sizes, Stripping/Nudity (including new supported Image Types), Expanded Talk Functions (Consent, Fetishes, Dialogue Events, Randomized Master Nouns, etc), Lactation Overhaul + Traits, Personality Flaws/Traits (for Dialogue variance), New Movement Options (Flying, Walking, Crawling, Immobile) with Combat Support, New General Traits (Ditzy, Lisp, etc) Sex Expanded - Kinsey Scale Sexuality System (for wider options than Straight/Bi/Gay) with shifting sexualities based on actions, Attraction System, Cum Tracking, New Sexual Requests, New Sex Dialogue, Genital Wear and Tear, Incest Pregnancy Expanded - Overhaul of the Pregnancy System, Pregnancy Speed Changes, Offspring Stat Boosting, and more Character Customization - New Specializations and Starting Slave Specializations, Sizing Support World Expansion - Persistent NPCs with personal reputations and interaction tracking, Town Events, Town Reputation Changes Farm Expansion - A brand new reworked farm panel, ways of milking/breeding, new jobs, a variable Milk Economy, trait lines, snail breeding, and items! •Consent• One of the most common questions now is: "Why won't anyone join my party?" You haven't asked them to (in the new consent system). The Consent System is found under the "Talk > Lets talk about Consent" area. This will show you any topics you can ask for consent for that you haven't gotten consent for OR asked and been refused that same day. To join a party, they must agree to Travel/Fight with you (in v.07 Unique Characters can always join, even without consent). Sex consent can be obtained through this method or the standard Dating method. The rest have a chance based on their obedience, loyalty, and possibly their opinion of the fetish (ie: Incest/Pregnancy). If they refuse you, you can ask again the following day. •New Image Types: Nude & Pregnant• You know how in the main gate there are images for the characters Clothed, Naked, Etc? Do you have that favorite Slave that you wish you could have a naked or pregnant image show for without manually changing it? This mod will now look for a picture of any Slave that has a Body Image Set and either try to find, in this order: A pregnant image if Pregnant Duration > 0 Otherwise a naked image if at least 2 of out of the 3 are exposed (Chest, Genitals, Ass). If the Slave isn’t pregnant, isn’t naked, or there isn’t a valid image for either than it will try to reset the original body image if it was changed or leave it alone if it was not. You, the player, will have to go into the folder where your Portraits/Bodies/Mods are and add pictures to the following folders: bodiesnaked bodiespreg The game will then look in those folders, HOWEVER, keep in mind that all images (portrait, bodies, bodiesnaked, and bodiespreg) will have to have the exact same name and extension (ie: sexyslave.png) or the game wont find it. Let me know the inevitable series of problems this will cause, and hopefully, Enjoy! Portrait Packs for Nude/Preg (Community Created) https://itch.io/t/988503/small-portrait-pack-arics-compatible https://itch.io/t/976351/body-collection-pack-for-strive-arcis • Sex, Stretching, and Wear & Tear • Size matters during sex! Each partner's lust and sensitivity increases or decreases by 10% for each level of difference between the holes. Larger members = larger arousal gains, but also the potential to Stretch or even Tear the hole. Check Changelog for v.05 •Pregnancy• Pregnancy Consent You know what sucks? Being a Slave, getting fucked (willingly or not), then BOOM, you’re pregnant. Or it did. Because now you have a say! Consent Because Consent matters, slaves now have the option to be asked for consent to impregnate them. You still can without consent, but the pregnancy is going to be a lot more stressful for them as they carry an unwanted child. With their consent, having a baby can be a Loyalty building experience instead! But what if you aren’t the one impregnating them? What if you want one of your Breeding Studs to, or even crazier, one of their family members? They can be asked about that and give consent for that as well. Wanted Pregnancies Unwanted Pregnancy - +Stress for the duration of the pregnancy Wanted Pregnancy - +Loyalty for the duration of the pregnancy Consent Types Through interaction system: Sex (with you) - They will have sex with you Through the Dialogue System Pregnancy (Must have Sex Consent) - They will have a baby with you. Breeding Stud - They’ll breed others for you without having to have sex with you first (so no more forced M/M unless you want to) Breeder - They’ll willingly get pregnant with any Studs (Incest supersedes the above) Incest - They will willingly have sex with family members (you included) Incest Breeder - They will be willing to get pregnant with their relatives offspring Note: If the Slave has an incredible stressful pregnancy OR has reached their desired number of children, they may revoke Pregnancy Consent after birth. Consent Factors Pregnancy - Desired Number of Offspring: Slaves now have a Desired Number of Offspring randomly decided for them (Modified by their race, some races just breed more). #Note: Currently not playing nice Biological Clock - Slaves have a Biological Clock that, depending on their age, spurs them toward wanting to procreate IF their number of children is less than their Desired Number of Children Mansion Upgrades The Nursery can be upgraded to 2 different levels. The first level will unlock the ability to keep the children (as per vanilla game), as well as the Breeder and Stud Jobs. The second level will allow you to adjust the speed of Pregnancies by talking to your Head Girl. #Future Plans: A third level that will allow you to unlock specific Traits or open up multiple Baby pregnancies. •Sex• This is a harder one to define as a lot ties in together. Then again, I suppose all of it does to some extent. Sexuality (and the Kinsey Scale) Sexuality is a spectrum. Just not in this game. Well, that’s fixed. No longer are you “Bisexual”, “Homosexual”, or “Other”. Detailed in the in-game Library. •Combat Changes• Movement comes in a few different flavors. This is (hopefully) the template to build off some new, cool combat options. For now, if a unit can fly, isn't encumbered (via items, titsize, or pregnancy/inflation), and isn't exhausted, they will. If a unit is exhausted or restrained, they will crawl. Too exhausted, restrained, or overweight, they will only be able to lay there. Movement Types Flying - Speed/Attack Increased 125% Walking - Normal Crawling - Speed/Attack Decreased 50% None - Speed/Attack are 0 Combat Stress Reworked - Combat stress has been reworked from a flat amount every time to a chance to gain stress each time the unit takes damage depending on their courage and the amount of damage taken. This allows for longer expeditions as well as adding more functionality to the “Protect” action.

ElPresidente6 years ago

I re-installed everything and started a new game, but I will try re-installing again.

On another note, is it just me or do the races feel.. .lacking? In stats and specials. For example, slimes are gooey, so they should have very high endurance (difficult to hurt) and good agility, but poor strength (gooey). Dryads are plan/wood spirits, so they should be slow and durable, but also strong. Elves could use re-balancing, drow are way OP as are dragonkin. Possibly giving elves nature essence (IIRC; only dryads give nature essence, but you can get other essences from 2 sources ). Some different specials. Dragonkin maybe having natural +1 armor? Succubi/demons healing/reganing stamina from sex?

I'll add what I can into my tweaks, see how that goes.

Waveshaper6 years ago

Regarding stat values I would be careful - from my own experience of testing over the last days character stats are one of the more delicate things to tweak. They range over a relatively short span in general, and the calculation in which they are used are typically relatively simple and make use of multipliers without using much decimals. So even raising stats by 1-2 points can make a huge difference - especially if applied to base stats.

Another problem I see with special stats I see is the way the code is structured - unfortunately the game makes only little use of databases when it comes to variables - instead it often applies calculation-modifying values directly in the functions - so tweaking and changing perc & Co. often includes changing a value in multiple files and lines in the code. This might be not so much a problem for sole mod-content, but modifying the core files with mod-code that is highly different in its logic and data structure could create a huge mess in the long run. But maybe that's just my layman look at this part that makes it more complicated as it actually is. ^^

ElPresidente6 years ago (1 edit)

AS for my direct steps - DELETE EVERYTHING Install SFP in a new folder. Add my items and the 3 lines that go in exploration.gd, outside.gd and combat.gd (just treasure/loot/shop stuff)

Add Arcis. Apply arcis. Restart.

and now the atypical bug. As if certain parts and files refuse to apply!

Waveshaper6 years ago (1 edit)

Wouldn't it be safer the other way around? To first let Aric's apply its changes (what are quite a lot) and afterwards adding your lines in the already modified gamefiles?

ElPresidente6 years ago (1 edit)

Tried that too. Third re-install. Again atypical error....

Yeah, some files are deifinitely not properly applied.. Both globals.gd and person.gd have some things missing.

AricTriton6 years ago

If you start from a fresh install and just do my mod (no code changes, other mods, or alterations), does it still not seem to be installing the mod incorrectly? If that works, I can look at the items and changes that you've made and see what I can do to fix the compatibility with them.

If it still doesn't, there may be something weird going on in the mod installer. It seems to be applying the mod correctly for me and others I've checked with, but it's Strive modding. Doesn't always play by logical rules. However, I got permission from Ank to include his bugfixes in my mod and I believe he's fixed some quirks in the mod loader, so that may resolve this if its a mod loader quirk.

ElPresidente6 years ago

Nothing from my mod interferes with your code. I just add a few items, that's it. You can easily see it for yourself.

And yes, I did start a 100% fresh install (again), after deleting EVERYTHING, the app data Strive and normal strive folder and re-downlaoding ARCIS0.8. And for some reason the mod isn't fully applied. Most of what is in arcis globals.gd and person.gd gets copied to the globals.gd and person.gd in the main game folder, but not all. The originsarray for example wasn't there, nor was the atypical icon path. Naturally, this breaks the end turn if you have an atypical slave, during luxury calculations.

But what's even stranger is that even after I manually put those in, the game still can't find them. The only explanation I can think off is that if globals aren't properly initialized, the save game is ruined, as adding them after does nothing.

What I can try is a compeltly new game.

Oh, one more question - your globals and person are ADDED to the stock ones, they do not overwrite them as far as I can see (looking at the line numbers, at least it seems that way for globals), right?

If all else fails, maybe someone can forward their scripts folder after succesfull install?

alexsis9876 years ago

Kinda just seems like the atypical position just isn't being included properly in the globals. Just encountered my first atypical slave as a demon girl in the marsh and I get this just from trying to hover over her in the post-battle menu.

alexsis9876 years ago

Just accidentally captured an atypical as well and it broke my ability to return to the mansion with slaves because in exploration.gd you don't account for atypical in the func captureeffect(person): multipliers.

AricTriton6 years ago

The atypical issue should be (key on should be, of course) fixed in v.08.1

CaptainMajestic6 years ago

It's been a little bit since I've been here, but I'm back, I'm certain this is preventing my "cows" from being milked, it may have something to do with the fact that "autopump" is a boolean in the save files

ankmairdor6 years ago

Here's a simple fix, change line 2673 of expansion.gd from:

if result == "default":

to:

if typeof(result) == TYPE_STRING && result == "default":

AricTriton6 years ago

Fixed in v.08.1 (though the whole Farm System is pending an update soon anyways)

ElPresidente6 years ago

Yeah, I'm definitely asking for someone to give me their script folder

ElPresidente6 years ago

Yay. Finally managed to get it to work again (some things were missing invariables.gd). Would still like someone elses scripts folder since there's a high chance some line was missed.

AricTriton6 years ago

I can after the next Hotfix, but mine is currently mid-mod update. Anyone else who would be willing to help out would be appreciated though!

WolfLynd6 years ago

Hey, I don't know if this is because of the mod or not (or it was updated in the original game) but when I went to Gorn to buy 'a pair of handcuffs' which supposedly be 150 (going by the wiki and my memory), it was 250 when I went to buy it.

PS: If it is not a bug or anything sorry for the bother.

ankmairdor6 years ago(+1)

The wiki is quite outdated in many parts. Not sure when it was changed in the game, but 250 is the vanilla price.

ElPresidente6 years ago

Is it normal to get 1700 food from a single miking slave? Not a Taurus b.t.w. and only 1 farm upgrade.

AricTriton6 years ago

That's gonna be a no from me, dog. That is definitely not supposed to happen. What are the size of the tits? Any traits, milk factors, etc? Also, what does the Statistic's page say their Regen is?

ElPresidente6 years ago

Seraph, tiny tits, Milk Flow 1. Statpage has no regen I can see (stopped lactating atm). Food earned is over 80912.5.

AricTriton6 years ago

Yeaaaah, that’s definitely not operating right. I’ll look into it

L33tfr0g6 years ago

I only got 2 kind of errors so far. The first error sometimes pops up on ending the day.

The second one only happened one time, don't know exactly when.

AricTriton6 years ago

Do you remember any events leading up to the first Error? Did you get any reports from the town’s in your end of day?

The second does pop up on occasion for me and seems to be part of the script that checks and adds attached relatives to the NPC that is “joining” the family. Unfortunately if there’s not a mother/father/sibling already set, that seems to occur but not hurt anything.

L33tfr0g6 years ago

I have one save, there ending the day always throw both these errors. Things I did this day was: Interacting with slaves, grinding the Marsh location for chests and rare spawns. Sometimes , after the battle, a slave seems buggy and fires the "atypical error". These slaves I ignore.

The first error is sometimes thrown from line 2155, 2153 or 2151 .

Then I advanced the day several times to look, if there errors are persistent without doing anything else:

- The first error only get thrown one time, but sometimes get thrown again some days later, if the second error has a long run.

- The second one appeared, after I fought some bandits in Winborn outskirts and gets thrown between 2 and 6 times, one time each day.

- While one or both errors show up, the town report for the catched slaves doesn't show up.

- The errors seems to disappear after skipping 3 up to 7 days without doing anything.

L33tfr0g6 years ago (2 edits)

Also the amount of stress gain, a pregnancy or the milk production during the pregnancy seems to add up every day, resulting in some high numbers on the report. But the stress factor in the interaction menu only rises up to 55-60% of the bar, despite having a mental breakdown every day.

Edit: The slave agreed to impregnition and the nursery was build during the pregnancy.

The slave is also the starter servant as foster sister, but doesn't want to talk about incest in the fetish section.

alexsis9876 years ago

Seems like the sex system involving multiple partners has some issues. Its running a full loop for every partner and its also providing both the text for penis too big and too small

AricTriton6 years ago

Gotcha, thanks for the report! I had to disable the text on the incest actions for multiples, I’ll likely have to do that for this as well. It looks like it is running the check for each individually but tagging all Taker names for it, though the switch from enjoying to undersized is peculiar.

Apocalypse26 years ago (1 edit)

Hello,

I still have the issue with the farm. As soon as i add any cows, and click next day, i don't get an end of day report and my game doesn't autosave. This is with a completely fresh install of version 0.5.25 (including Appdata/Roaming/Stive).

AricTriton6 years ago

This should be resolved in v.08.1 (both errors shown here, the plains and milking)

AricTriton6 years ago

v.08.1 has released, hopefully curing what ails ya. Farm seems to work now and not give ridiculous milk, so that's good. It'll likely be fully revamped soon anyways, but working for now is better than not working at all!

alexsis9876 years ago

I actually just had one of my cows still give 1493 food from milk and she's only got huge boobs and milk flow 2 with no other farm upgrades. All my other cows are reasonable numbers although none of them do have any milk flow modifiers.

Also looking at your code i saw this which doesn't seem to make sense.

var chefhelped = false

if chefmod > 0:
chefhelped = true
else:
chefhelped = true

At that point why bother with the if? Just set it to true

AricTriton6 years ago (1 edit)

Because it’s supposed to toggle to false. It’s a bug, I appreciate it you finding it!

Edit: Decimal issue on the milk flow trait, I’ll get that fixed. Thanks for the heads up!

Apocalypse26 years ago

Sorry Aric, new bug with the farm. I no longer get the error message, so the old bug is fixed, but now my cows produce negative food. In the end of day report it shows a negative value, and it forced the rest of my residents to eat in town.

AricTriton6 years ago

Well fuck. Mind shooting a savegame that it happened on? That is a new one for me

alexsis9876 years ago

When a slave is crawling and you attempt to change their current job.

Need to change

if globals.currentslave.movement == 'crawl' && !i.location.has('mansion'):

if globals.currentslave.movement == 'crawl' && i.location != 'mansion':

AricTriton6 years ago

It sounds like that didn’t override the file right. Jobs should now have their location as an array instead of a string as framework for the upcoming job revamp which will allow one job to be chosen then sent to one of multiple valid locations. I’ll check the code and see but that is as intended.

Do you remember the initial job and the newly chosen job? One may have been missed

alexsis9876 years ago (1 edit)

She was a newly obtained slave who was resting and i couldn't select a job. With that bug in play the list of jobs won't appear.

AricTriton6 years ago

Did you have any other mods or bugfixes installed at the time? There doesn't appear to be any jobs not converted to arrays.

alexsis9876 years ago (1 edit)

Ah yep, my fault. I merged your mod with the information organizer. Since you do such a nice job of commenting where you do code changes i dropped your changes on top of its base files, but missed the change of locations to array form since someone failed to comment them ;P

AricTriton6 years ago

Well, I couldn’t comment those inside of the dictionary. 😋 No worries, is it working well after that? If we can get permission, I’d love to see that available as a patch for those who are interested in IO as well

alexsis9876 years ago (3 edits)

Its fully working but i didn't really do it as a mod applied on top of yours. Since both of you basically just overwrite the entire files I pretty much just ended up combining the two together into a single file. i also threw in preginfo and this morning got into a bit of a binge and turned Farm label into a fully functional tab with the ability to add slaves to the farm through the sleep options like the jail.

alexsis9876 years ago

Still getting the plains error.

Think the problem with this is that you're getting 'plains' as your zonecode and then trying to plug it into the database. globals.areas.database in explorationregions.gd lists the zonecode as being called 'prairie' instead.

so as a quick fix could just slap this under your zonecode at line 2210

if zonecode == 'plains':
zonecode = 'prairie'

AricTriton6 years ago

That’s what was boggling me. Where is plains pulling from to begin with? It’s supposed to be only pulling zonecodes but I haven’t seen one called plains anywhere in the exploration regions. I have no clue where the “plains” are supposed to be originating from. I’ll try that fix, but any idea where prairie is showing it’s code as plains?

alexsis9876 years ago (1 edit)

Doing a quick findall in the files the only place i see 'plains' listed is your outskirtsarray in expansion.gd where you define it as

Line 77: var outskirtsarray = ['wimbornoutskirts','forest','plains','gornoutskirts','amberguardforest','frostfordoutskirts','shaliq','umbra']

otherwise it exists nowhere else in your code or in the main game code. So must be migrating from there to globals.state.offscreennpcs somehow.

AricTriton6 years ago

And that's what I appreciates about ya! I definitely missed that and think I figured out how it was traveling to NPC codes now. Thanks!

They are born with those primarily to be able to pass those traits down or increase the traitlines of their progeny. I thought about hiding them on males but that’s defeat the purpose as well. I may implement a “hide on males” option so they can still pass them on.

ElPresidente6 years ago

Speaking of traits, the MC could use a trait. Otherwise it's better to breed slaves.

AricTriton6 years ago (1 edit)

It’s likely a few updates away, but the Crystal will eventually have an option to sacrifice a Slave to the Crystal to transfer one of their traits to another Slave/Player, which should allow that

Any other mods, bugfixes, etc installed?

NanoMalefico966 years ago

The only other mods are "Constants" and "randomportraits", no bugfix. The strange thing is that I was able to play for a few days and had saved a few times with no problem.

AricTriton6 years ago

Gotcha. Unless something has changed in Constants, I'm pretty sure that my mod isn't compatible with Constants at all. RandomPortraits is fully compatible.

NanoMalefico966 years ago

Ah, ok, thanks, I had no idea Constants wasn't compatible...

AricTriton6 years ago

Both mods override the same functions, unfortunately

ankmairdor6 years ago

No, you are fine. So long as Aric's Expansion is loaded first (lower number in mod list) there should be no problems.

The constants mod has no conflicts as Aric's Exp does not change _ready() in mainmenu.gd.

The random portrait mod adds to _on_slaveconfirm_pressed() in mainmenu.gd, which Aric's Exp overwrites. No conflicts in slave_tab.gd or constructor.gd.

It was showing as stoning but shifted to burning on “Observe”? That definitely is a bug then, that only should show on “_ is too good for them”

WolfLynd6 years ago

So I don't know what happened but I noticed while I was checking my slaves description, that for most (but not the first 2 ) slaves the description for the privates says 'Omitted' here is the screenshot:

WolfLynd6 years ago(+2)

Found the problem I accidently clicked on the 'Privates' and it closed. (I didn't know I can do that).

ElPresidente6 years ago (1 edit) (+1)

A few things I noticed:

- two incestuos slaves (Sis1, Sis2 )and a non-related slave (Jane). Selecting one of the siblings and the other slave (Sis1, Jane), you can't have them do anything to the other sibling (Sis2), since the game checks the non-related slave for incestuous actions. It treats BOTH of them as related to Sis2. (or to be more precise, it checks if Jane has incestuous consent)

- also, incest always seems to cause stress, regardless of consent.

On a semi-related note, I have been dabbling with Godot and found match x to be so much better than switch on other languages. ATM, I'm expanding the after-battle sex scenes with far more choices. Here's something you can do with match:

var batte_rape_arr = [player.globals.sex,baddie.person.sex]

match battle_rape_arr

['Futanari', 'Female']:

text = 'code for futa on female'

['Futanari', 'Futanari']:

text = 'code for futa on futa'

['Female', 'Futanari']:

text = 'code for female on futa'

etc....

I'll make the code available once I finish it

AricTriton6 years ago

Thanks for bringing that to my attention, that'll require some major finagling. It seemed as though it would check each giver individually for blocking/unblocking the actions, but it is likely either the case of one overriding the other or checking both per stage then moving to the next. Does it do the same thing if you select them in the reverse order (non-related then related)?

That's a bit peculiar, as Incest should very rarely cause stress.

That code change sounds awesome, and I am very excited to have some modding help on dialogue and fleshing out areas like that. I'll look forward to it!

ElPresidente6 years ago (1 edit)

Just saying, if this match code works as advertised, it will make a lot of things a lot easier, as it can actually do comparisons. It even has dictionary pattern matching!

http://docs.godotengine.org/en/latest/getting_started/scripting/gdscript/gdscrip...

On another note, some more weirdness. Handcuffs seem to set my angel slave to PERMANENT crawling. Removing them leaves them stuck like that and nothing I tried works. I even tried making a potion that will change that. I tried resting, tit reduction, anything that could possibly cause this...

EDIT; I added the code in a txt file inside my mod

https://www.mediafire.com/file/null/T_Strive.7z/file

feel free to take a look. For a companions only a slight adjustment is made that allows companions to suck/ride. Note that it's still WIP (placeholder text in a few places) and needs testing, but it SHOULD work.

WolfLynd6 years ago

Hello I don't know if this is because of the mod or just a general bug but when I ended the 9th day after completing Cali's questline from which after there should have been a sex scene but I think the Emily coming back dialog overwrited that scene or at least seemed like something was coming up but then Emily's dialog took it over or something also the only thing happened in the end of the day is that Cali's Pliable trait changed to Devoted. (Cali's intimacy have been unlocked by consent but I didnt have sex with her and the scene wouldnt triger neither after ther 25th day or if I actually have sex with her).

AricTriton6 years ago

That sounds like a game bug. Does anyone who remembers the scenes remember the number to reset the ending so he can set it back to trigger that? I can look when I’m around my PC next

ankmairdor6 years ago

This may be a new bug since, the quest overlap bug should have been resolved in v0.5.25. Adding {"code":"caliproposal","duration":1} to upcoming events in the save file will restart the Cali scene.

WolfLynd6 years ago

It didn't work I don't know what could be the problem. I checked the save I made before I ended the day and there was the {"code":"caliproposal","duration":1} . I tried to added back in my next day save file but still didnt work (I had to add some extra to the starting maid sex event so it doesnt overlap but it did delay that event but the cali event didnt come up) and I even tried to delay emily's event but evn though it delayed it the Cali event still didn't trigger. On a side note I noticed that there was the caliparentsdie event still there even though I completed the quest, though when I deleted it didnt make a difference.

PS: So I was wondering does Cali's event really matter or it just for the CG which will be stored in the gallery?

WolfLynd6 years ago

Okay I think I found the problem for some reason it seems to think that I had sex with Cali, so now I have to change it in the code. also on a side-note at Cali's 'dailyevents' section it writes "incestconsentchecked" over 25 times (I didnt count it all) is that normally?

PS: Before anyone says anyhting about that I just forget that I had sex Cali, I am 100% sure I didnt since I knew about the evnt plus I woulkd never ask her consent about fucking family yet it says that I asked her about it so I am sure that something must have happened.

AricTriton6 years ago (1 edit)

Yeah, the multiple checks is something I've been meaning to patch. It should hurt anything and clears automatically each night, but its checking each person update (when talked, selected, combat, etc) and I forgot to add the block to only have it add one. I might suggest removing it, hopping in, saving, then manually readding the event? Maybe that'll trigger it?

Edit: Fixed the IncestConsentChecked in v.9

ankmairdor6 years ago

The event is not functionally important to the game and can be considered mostly a storyline end-cap. The caliparentsdie event is never cleaned up, thus always occurs regardless of the quest. However, this only matters if the quest is not completed before that event occurs.

If you have the save before the end of the day where the problem occurred, then the simplest fix is to change the durations for events. Though durations do not update the way one may expect, so events that appear like they would execute on separate days can occur on the same day.

If it did nothing when the event was triggered, then one of the conditions was not met. The conditions are that you must have a slave with a unique identifier of 'Cali', that slave must be a virgin("vagvirgin") with loyalty greater than 50, and this event cannot trigger more than once per progress(no idea why that is there). If the event already triggered the first screen but not the second, then you will need to delete "caliproposalseen" from the "decisions" array. If Cali is away the day of the event, then it is rescheduled for 2 days later.

So far, I have not been able to reproduce this problem on my computer.

cogius6 years ago

not sure if i'm missing something but all pregnancy's are unwanted despite consent and the girls are having near constant mental breaks from absurdly high pregnancy related stress

AricTriton6 years ago

Any errors popping up? Do they have sex consent, pregnancy consent, or both? Finally, what is the event triggering stress, Tit Growth or Morning Sickness?

cogius6 years ago

no errors are being thrown and they have given consent for everything. its the breast growth giving 300+ stress per day

AricTriton6 years ago

Cobbly6 years ago

Hey Aric... wtf is this crystal thing.

Also, is the stretchiness trait maxed at 2? If not, how can it be raised?

AricTriton6 years ago

It is an interdimensional Crystal with magical properties that you may be able to learn to harness and control for your own nefarious means. The realtor didn’t tell you when you bought the Mansion?

It should be able to be raised (for now) by breeding two slaves with that trait together, which should increase the trait level of their offspring. New Slaves should Max at 2, beyond that has to be bred (to level 5). There may be other ways to do that coming up in future versions.

Cobbly6 years ago

I thought the story was that we inhereited the mansion?

Do slime girls come naturally with that maxed out? Cause they should.

AricTriton6 years ago

Yeah, the realtor was a joke. But why do you think Slimes should be maxed?

tommiboy5956 years ago

...because they're stretchy?

AricTriton6 years ago (1 edit)

I always pictured them as more slimey. Lol, sure thing, that can be added

Edit: Set Slime Pliability/Elasticity to natural max (5), though they can be enhanced further via the traits. Fixed in v.9

ElPresidente6 years ago

How exactly can one induce a fetish?

It seem totally random and simply talking about it every day doesn't seem to do anything.

AricTriton6 years ago

Fetishes have a chance to increase each time they are triggered/called and that increases per the number of times they are called a day. For example, if you want to increase the incest fetish, taking a series of incestuous actions prior to discussing it with the Slave will increase the chance of it increasing their fetish level.

Hi, sorry new to the game and trying to install this mod,

thought I got it working but when the character creation options are there but the are no selections available.

seems like nothing else is working either

have I done something wrong with the install?

AricTriton6 years ago

It looks like you haven’t selected the mod in the Mod Panel. On the start screen, there is a button named Mods. You will need to activate the mod named AricsExpansion in that. It will reboot then be good to go

AricTriton6 years ago (1 edit)

That’s because you have the mainmenu.tscn in correctly (which presents the physical Locations for those buttons and is what you’re seeing) but the mod itself isn’t installed (which is how the game knows what to use those buttons for).

Make sure the mod is in your appdata/strive/mods folder, activated in the Mod Manager Panel, and then you’ll see options show up in those buttons

I have pressed mods, selected your mod and applied, which shutdown the game. When I go back into the game that mod is highlighted but the same thing happens. no options appear

the mansion.tscn file included in the mod is labelled 'nope, dont use it yet - Mansion' so it doesn't replace the original mansion file. should I delete the original or should I rename your mansion file?

I have also copied and pasted both files in the important please read folder. so they are still in my appdata as well as in the game file. should I remove from appdata?

don't know if this is causing the problem or not.

The mainmenu, not mansion file. Sorry about that confusion. Having that file in appdata as well won’t hurt anything, it just won’t read it.

Do you have any other mods installed or bugfixes installed?

Genwolf6 years ago (1 edit)

Sorry, got it working. I am new to this and put the mod a folder too deep. Anyone experiencing the same problem make sure the first folder is AricsExpansion not AricsExpansionRebredv.08.1

AricTriton6 years ago

Ah, gotcha. Yeah, it looks for a very specific mod path

alexsis9876 years ago

Using the mansion file isn't required at all, just gives a few more options when creating your initial character (those 4 in the 2nd column that are blank in the above screenshot being those options). If you want those options you must rename his mansion.tscn file but i would recommend saving yours elsewhere first. Can also leave the duplicates in the folder they're in, they won't hurt anything. If you don't use his mansion file it will just automatically generate those stats for you.

I'm having trouble getting it to work, I followed the instructions but it still doesn't appear in the mods panel.

The mod will have to be placed into your strive folder in the app data/strive folder. You can get to it easily by clicking the open folder button in the mod panel to put it there

ElPresidente6 years ago

Hmm....it may be something on my end again, but the consent for "breeding with relatives" options keep appearing every day, even though it was accepted. I'm going to test this a bit more...

Also, I see penile virginity in the code. I suppose that's not implemented?

AricTriton6 years ago (1 edit)

Nah, I believe that was actually there in Vanilla but just never used.

That one gave issues with repeating a version back but should have been fixed. I’ll check it again

Edit: The Incest Consent was broken, fixed in v.9

ElPresidente6 years ago (2 edits)

I did some checking. The issue is definitely there. The names are red and the toolpit tates the consent is not given, tough they willhappily do it and gain stress.

And there are more. Handcuffs applying permanent CRAWLING condition. And futa without balls still not working.

The best way to handle that is to simply give them balls, but only alter the description (either hide it or say internal balls). Balless futa pretty much means scrotumless futa anyway.

EDIT: Interestingly enough, milked slaves still get stress for full breasts, despite being milked

alexsis9876 years ago

The handcuffs aren't permanent crawling. Its just for that day. Take them off and progress the day and they'll be back to normal

ElPresidente6 years ago(+1)

Nope. Permanent crawling for me. I've equiped a travel bag in that slot. Days passed. Even sent the slave for training.

alexsis9876 years ago

low strength and big assets? Frail slaves are often crawlers until you get their strength above 2-3

ElPresidente6 years ago

nope. Not frail. average boobs. It is weird. But not a big problem.

AricTriton6 years ago (2 edits) (+1)

I've heard this from a couple of different sources, it seems to be an issue with the Restrained not toggling correctly. If you are comfortable editting save files, I'd recommend changing the "restrained" value from "cuffed" to "none" until the next update resolves it

Edit: Fixed crawling in v.9

AricTriton6 years ago

What part of the balless futa aren't working? Are they not producing semen in sex (checked via impregnating others or the statistics after sex) or just the description not showing production?

ElPresidente6 years ago

For one, they do not seem to trigger cum related desires (cum on face, etc), like they aren't producing at all.

Umery6 years ago (1 edit)

Hi, sorry if this is a redundant question.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong, but after following the steps to the to install the mod I couldn't see any information. There were no new day reports showing up, whenever I clicked on a slave's name their information would not show up. There was also nothing visible on the main mansion tab - where you can see how many rooms you have, and if you've appointed a jailer, head girl, etc.

Could really use some help. Thank you.

Edited: Wanted to say that I'm kinda new to modding so you know...

alexsis9876 years ago (1 edit)

Im assuming you have several mods active and they're conflicting. The mods on this game are incredibly basic in terms of working together. Pretty much if 2 of them try and edit the same thing, unless 1 intentionally accounts for the others it won't work. Because this is such a large mod that's probably your problem. I would recommend removing all your mods, then loading this mod FIRST. From there check if its working properly. If it is, then its a conflict with your other mods. Keep adding them on until you find which one is breaking your game. Then either don't use it or see if you can find a compatible version

Hint: There's nothing in this mod that will break your game when its by itself and applied to the base game (not yet compatible with bugfixes).

Umery6 years ago

Alright, thank you very much for the advice.

ElPresidente6 years ago (1 edit) (+1)

This ain't right...

Milked slaves get full breasts stress. Also, breast growth chance should be scaled based on pregnancy duration. Seems everyone ends up with max size boobs even with default values. (Leslie has small here because I lowered the chances myslef)

centerflag9826 years ago(+1)

Yeah, current pregnancy breast growth is... excessive, to say the least. Characters will go from flat-chested to ridiculously huge in a single pregnancy

Tyrgalon6 years ago

For some reason the spell isn´t showing up after I added it to "spells.dg" in arics mod.

ankmairdor6 years ago

There should be 2 windows that open when the game starts: the game and a terminal that shows error messages. Is there any messages on the second window? If so, I'll need to know what they are to fix it.

If not, then I'm guessing you added it to the mod before or after applying it. If you added it to the mod after applying it, then you need to re-apply the mod.

If you added it to the mod before applying the mod, then the problem is probably the formatting of the text added. The text provided in his post is not the literal code. The first part is to be included in "spelllist" and the second part is a function that goes in any black space towards the bottom of the file. Both parts will have spaces at the beginning of the lines where the game will expect tabs. The vanilla mod system is very literal and will ignore changes that do not exactly match its expectations.

Hadn´t reactivated the mod so thats why.
But now when I disabled the mod (or try to enable it again) the game broke for some weird reason:

RustyRoost6 years ago

I think that the dialogue for setting the crystal to prevent/allow death might be backwards. In `statstab.gd` the following block occurs. I believe the first block should probably be for `preventsdeath == false` and the second block should be `preventsdeath == true` I switched them for the crystal visit section and it seems to have worked.

if globals.state.mansionupgrades.dimensionalcrystal >= 4 && globals.state.thecrystal.preventsdeath == true:
buttons.append({text = person.dictionary("Use the Crystal to Prevent Death."), function = 'crystalimmortalitytoggle', args = 'enable', tooltip = "Use the Crystal's power to prevent death in your Mansion."})
elif globals.state.mansionupgrades.dimensionalcrystal >= 4 && globals.state.thecrystal.preventsdeath == false:
buttons.append({text = person.dictionary("Remove the Crystal's hold on Death."), function = 'crystalimmortalitytoggle', args = 'disable', tooltip = "Re-enable death inside of your Mansion."})

PS: Don't forget this code occurs in two spots, one for headgirl and one for crystal visit. I'll save my DRY rant for another time though.

RustyRoost6 years ago

PPS: There are some events in the game which bypass the normal death mechanism through the health setter, the main one that comes to mind being death by umbra experimentation. I don't know if this is something that can/should be "fixed", but it is something to keep aware of.

AricTriton6 years ago

Nah, as far as I'm aware those events all happen outside of the mansion. The Crystal's power only goes so far...

...for now...

RustyRoost6 years ago (1 edit)

PPPS: ~~Is it expected for their to be a way to trigger the "sacrifice" knowledge reveal at this point? I don't see any way for the crystal's hunger to decrease, so I'm not sure if it could ever go "dark"~~

Never mind, I see now that I just need to be a bit extra excessive with wielding the crystal's power...

RustyRoost6 years ago

Ok, final PS:

After making the change I mentioned and triggering the "sacrifice" reveal I've tried feeding a couple of my slaves to the crystal. Each time their text box displays "....", no choices are presented, and I have to restart the game. I don't see any messages in the console, and I have no idea on the cause in code.

If I were to take a wild guess... I'm wondering if what I believe are recursive calls in `crystalconsequences` are causing the character to be killed then trying to set up more dialog with the character when it goes back up the tree? Purely a guess, and I'm afraid I don't have the time to experiment with it right now.

AricTriton6 years ago (1 edit)

So the Sacrifice is failing to remove them and put you back on the main mansion screen? Good to know, I’ll dig into that.

Good catch on the trigger dialogue, btw. You were correct on that.

The system hasn’t been fleshed out fully but was intended to be able to sacrifice to the Crystal merely to sate its hunger if you went the dark crystal path, so this is definitely a bug. More features are coming for the Dark Crystal path, which is what Alexsis is referencing.

Edit: Fixed in v.9

alexsis9876 years ago

I don't believe this feature is actually intended to currently be functional. Sacrificing a slave to give you traits to pass on to your kids is in the plans but it hasn't been implemented yet as far as i know

The incest stress chance "compare" var calculation on line 611 in newsexsystem.gd really needs to be looked at.
I don't know exactly what about it is problematic (maybe globals.fetishopinion.find() isn't returning the right value?), but I do know that until I commented it out, and just set compare to a flat 500, even slaves with maxed incest fetishes would end up with 70+ stress after a single session with a relative (and that's after the reductions from orgasms). I didn't change anything else in the file, so clearly that was the culprit.

AricTriton6 years ago (1 edit) (+1)

I'll check it out, thanks for letting me know!

Edit: The previous value was incapable of reaching the 500 value. I re-evaluated the formula and it should be far more possible to reach that now. Mindblowing will guarantee no Stress on its own, but it is now calculating the Fetish, Beauty, and Lust more accurately. Thanks for bringing that to my attention! Issue resolved in v.9

I asked to see if it may be an issue in another mod but they said they haven't messed with the coding for the mansion, I do see some changes to the scripts in that file. Please help

AricTriton6 years ago

Aric's Expansion is very finicky with compatibility with most other mods. What other mods/bugfixes do you have applied?

MidnightZephyr6 years ago (2 edits)

Elpresidentes tweaks

And improved random portraits

Those 2 are the only other mods I don't figure the portraits would do anything.

ignore original version i was going off of memory for the mods its just those and the constant file that comes with the game

Edit 2-

yep, its incompatibility with ElPresidentes Tweaks. alright

AricTriton6 years ago

You’re doing those and the constants file or do you mean just those two are active? I believe he’s made it fairly compatible, but a few files have to be edited. The constants mod that comes with the game is not compatible, however, as I believe it modifies the some of the same functions.

acetheeevee6 years ago

The constants mod is somewhat compatible, if you arrange the load order correctly and don't edit specific things with it like pregnancy duration, editing things like carry weight and PC beauty work fine.

MidnightZephyr6 years ago

All were active at once, I'll see if getting rid of constant fixes it

Smartqueen6 years ago

I know. I told you I'm dumb.

Smartqueen6 years ago

Is there anyway you could help me out?

AricTriton6 years ago

The basics are this:

1) Make sure that you have a backup of the Strive game files somewhere (doesn't matter where, even the original zip is fine)

2) Put the AricsExpansion mod in the AppData/Mod folder (where all mods go)

3) Copy and Paste the folder that says App Data into the App Data/Roaming/Strive folder (ie: the folder right before the mod folder you just used)

4) Copy and Paste the other folder into the Strive folder with the actual game files. Override anything it asks you to.

5) Go into the game and activate Aric's mod from the mod panel. Restart the game when it asks you too. I'd recommend JUST activating Aric's first and make sure that everything seems to be working fine before trying to add anything else (though there are details on other compatible mods or how to make some compatible all throughout this thread).

Well, I opened it up before you said that and it seems to be working fine, now. I'll follow your instructions if it messes up again. Thanks!

Smartqueen6 years ago

Sorry to spam or bother you, but it still didn't work. I placed the folders in the right place (I think), but the sexuality options and whatnot are not showing up.

May I suggest that fetish "decay" be reduced or removed? It gets old to have to talk to every single one of your slaves every day just to keep them from losing interest in the fetishes you want them to have

acetheeevee6 years ago

I second this

PotatoSnake6 years ago

Yes ! Please !

AricTriton6 years ago(+1)

I serve the will of my peoples. Request approved

centerflag9826 years ago (2 edits)

Thankya. The low odds of success on increase (from levels not already high, anyway) already serve as enough of an immersive approach to initial aversions to different fetishes - in other words, if you've gotten to "mindblowing" in the first place, the slave's already made up their mind that they're super into it.
"Y'know, I was obsessed with incest, but my mom hasn't eaten me out since Tuesday so I'm not sure I really care that much anymore" on the other hand is just silly :P

AricTriton6 years ago (1 edit) (+1)

It was more of a hold-over idea from other similar game systems. Now that you point it out, there’s not a lot of value added beyond micromanaging.

Beyond that phrase, of course. That made me laugh enough for the entropy system to be worth it.

Edit: Fixed in v.9. in a Setting if anyone wants to re-enable it.

PotatoSnake6 years ago (1 edit)

For some reason, one of my slaves (Emily) is constantly crawling even though her energy is at max and she doesn't seem to be restrained. I don't know if this is a bug or if I'm just missing something :/

AricTriton6 years ago

What is her endurance/strength? Pregnancy, Inflation, or oversized breasts can cause slaves to crawl depending on their strength/endurance to carry the extra weight.

Also, have you ever used handcuffs on her? There is a glitch with that atm

PotatoSnake6 years ago (2 edits)

Her strength is at 7 and endurance at 4 so I doubt it's that. She isn't pregnant or anything either. I have used handcuffs on her though, might be it, is there a way to fix it ?

AricTriton6 years ago

For now, the most straightforward method is editing the save file (using something like notepad+) and looking up “restrained”: “cuffed” and replacing with “restrained”: “none”

PotatoSnake6 years ago

Thanks !

AricTriton6 years ago

Awesome! It is fixed in v.9

Is there a way to deal with Weak Milk Flow trait? Or specifically how to deal with the stress from lactating? The ones without traits(relating to lactating) go back to normal but the others don’t and take a lot of stress.

AricTriton6 years ago(+1)

Currently, it’s just by sending them to a farm to be milked. More options coming next update.

If you’re annoyed by the continuous Lactation, you can set the stoplactating setting in Expansion.gd under settings to true and modify the chance they’ll stop (stops on end of day)

DeathnDekay6 years ago(+1)

AircTriton,
From playtesting, I noticed that the only way to effectively lactate oversized tits was to use farms. I have seen many people complain about this issue. I believe that I have a solution and would like your input.

EmpireBuilder126 years ago

Whenever I try to load with the mod active I get this error

alexsis9876 years ago

I would check to make sure you have the mod's folders/files in the right spot. It can't find the expansion.gd which needs to be located at the path specified on the 6th line in that report (3rd error message)

AricTriton6 years ago

Did you get it figured out, EmpireBuilder12?

shawn996 years ago (5 edits)

So, a new bug is stopping me from playing almost at all. I uninstalled the previous update I had (6.3.7) from the in-game mod menu, deleted it from the mod folder in %appdata, replaced it with 8.1, and installed that via the mod menu in-game. I now get this error every time I load.

And when I go out of the town and travel almost/look for a fight, the text never changes and I can't see what I've encountered, and this error comes up.

And when I try to fight, if the enemy is "Lone Stranger" then I get this error repeating infinitely along with no combat options or even the ability to end my turn.

EDIT: So apparently, the problem with fights only happens around Wimborn. Tested in Frostford and it worked just fine. Might be because I fought so much around Wimborn, I'll test out passing a few days to see if this changes anything.

EDIT 2: Turns out passing 7 days does nothing for changing up the people around the city.

EDIT 3: When I start a new game, everything seems to work correctly. Must be something with the area around Wimborn and the amount of people I've fought there. I recovered by reverting to a save game I had backed up from a few days before the saves I was using, so not a ton of progress lost, but I hope my report helps iron those out.

alexsis9876 years ago

The first error isn't a bug. You just failed to look at the folder inside of the Aric's mod folder called IMPORTANT - READ THIS BEFORE INSTALLING and following the instructions contained within there. Part of which includes dropping in that specific file because it doesn't exist in the base game.

Not entirely sure how the other one would be coming about though because Aric's Expansion doesn't change that line or anything relating to what is stored in the variable. Would recommend following the instructions on the install and then seeing if it goes away.

shawn996 years ago

I did drop those files where they were supposed to though. Both initially and when I updated. As for the other errors, they went away after rolling back to an earlier save. Thanks for the suggestions though.

squeakysea1236 years ago (1 edit)

Hey, Aric, found your mods after playing with Strive for a while and wanted to try them out. I had a quick question, what exactly is involved with a wanted pregnancy? From what I can tell it's consent, fetish, and desired children, but my starting slave never has a wanted pregnancy despite having the fetish, all consent, and no children.

Also, I saw ElPresidente mention the consent for "breeding with relatives" was not working and I was having this issue too, so I went on a bit of a scavenger hunt. That was over a week ago, so you may have already gotten this solved anyway! But if not, I think it's because in statstab.gd, for "incestbreeder", person.consentexp.incestpregnancy is set to true when consent is given, but in the actual character data, this consent is stored as "incestbreeder". The mode is right, but the variable is wrong so it's never set and therefore repeats every day. I grabbed some screenshots as well!

AricTriton6 years ago

I appreciate the details and the screenshot! That particular bug is primarily what’s messing with the WantedPregnancy, but the overall process would be:

Consent (Sex) > Consent (Pregnancy) + Consent (IncestBreeder), if family = WantedPregnancy

The Pregnancy fetish will increase the chances of their giving pregnancy consent as well as having a number of desired offspring higher than their current offspring. Pregnancy consent does have a chance to reset each birth (as the desired offspring number may have been reached).

If the pregnancy isn’t wanted from the start, there’s a chance of her gaining the WantedPregnancy each day. Incredibly short pregnancies are unlikely to see this change, but if you see a dialogue option relating to her wanting to tell you something, it may be that discussion.

squeakysea1236 years ago (1 edit)

Huh so new weird thing is that even after that change the pregnancy is still unwanted. I checked the data and all the consents are there, the text even shows up in the statistics. Is there a random chance for them to not want the pregnancy, or is this weird? I can keep poking around a bit, see if I can find anything. This is the starting slave, the father is my player character. I even increased the number of children wanted to see if that would change anything but nope. I thought that maybe something could have reset pregnancy consent and not the ask option, but she hasn't given birth before, and in the save data all the consents are still 'true'.

EDIT: Tried with some other slaves and it seems kind of up in the air whether a pregnancy registers as wanted or not even with the proper consent. Thinking now that it might be something more on my end, the bug with the repeating incest option caused some funky stuff in the save data. Might try again with a fresh save file.

centerflag9826 years ago (2 edits)

"If the pregnancy isn’t wanted from the start, there’s a chance of her gaining the WantedPregnancy each day."
It doesn't seem this is the case though? setWantedPregnancy() looks like it's only designed to fire once. And the talk event it can trigger doesn't make any changes to the .wantedpregnancy var.

In any case, it that function doesn't seem to be working properly regardless, even with non-incest pregnancies:

if mother.consentexp.pregnancy == true:
            mother.pregexp.wantedpregnancy = true

Should mean that preg consent should automatically mean wanted baby, no? Yet despite having consent from every slave I've knocked up, I've still had to edit it to true in the save.

EDIT: Welp, I think I see the problem:
setWantedPregnancy() doesn't appear to ever actually get called in the first place - there's no reference to it outside its declaration in expansion.gd

AricTriton6 years ago (2 edits) (+1)

Thanks for bringing this up! I’ll look into it!

Edit: You're 100% right! The functions were made but not added to where they were supposed to be called. That explains waaaay too much. Thanks for your help identifying this bug! This is fixed in the next update (v.9)

AricTriton6 years ago

Issue resolved in v.9. Thanks for the help with identifying the bug!

squeakysea1236 years ago

Sweet! Thanks for your work, it's a great mod so far!

AricTriton6 years ago(+2)

Update: It’s been a crazy week with the holidays and a loss in my family (my phone...it died too young) but progress is still being made toward the next update. The next update should be an interesting one as it aims to rework the entire Farm, add several new screens and processes, and fix a lot of the milking related issues.

I’d like to thank Alexsis987 for being an awesome help with this update and working with me on the mod! Especially with the holiday madness, this update would take 2-3x longer to release without her help.

Bahamuht6 years ago

Going through story mode, I can’t give merlina the youth elixir. It keeps telling me that I shouldn’t bother her as if I didn’t make the potion.

squeakysea1236 years ago

Make sure the elixir is in the supplies you take with you adventuring. If it's just in the mansion storage, you can't use it for the quest.

Bahamuht6 years ago

Got it, thanks.

Smartqueen6 years ago (1 edit)

1) So whenever I ask my first slave to research the crystal, it goes to 100, but I never learn anything past the "re-enable death" thing. Did I do something wrong again?

2) Someone probably already asked this, but can there be marriage or like actual romance/love in the mod? I sometimes like to imagine that my character and her first slave (a male demon) are husband and wife and decided have kids or start a cult.

centerflag9826 years ago

Second the request for some sort of marriage function. Doesn't need to change anything really, just flavor text - it'd just be nice to have something.

AricTriton6 years ago (1 edit) (+1)

That’s actually a new one for me. I like the idea and will add it to the slated future updates!

Smartqueen6 years ago

But what do I do about the crystal ball?

AricTriton6 years ago

The Crystal Ball isn't fully implemented yet and was mostly put in as a teaser, however the research options should be (with a fully upgraded ball): Pregnancy Speed, Immortality (the Reenable Death, which has a bugged name), and Sacrifice (for the Dark path). More options are coming, but that's an update or two away.
Do you have the option to discuss pregnancy speeds with your Headgirl or a slave over 4 Magical Affinity? It sound like you've got the immortality option unlocked, so that may be the end of that path for now (Sacrifice is currently buggy)

Smartqueen6 years ago

I do, and thank you. I thought I didn't do something right. :)

Kahuld6 years ago

Are you open to new jobs? The marriage system could be expanded a lot.

A concubine job: For those who want their waifu to have a sex job withought fucking strangers. With marriage and loyalty, charm etc. boosting the effects of the job?

Possible bonuses:

1. Reputaion increase. Possibly that race effects this. Example a Human concubine would boost rep in whimborn more than Gorn

2. A leadership role similar to Headgirl. Possibly help remove negative traits, or get new ones?

This is just one possibility. with the marriage system, a lot of new possibilities open up. which in the eyes of a management and lewd game lover who happens to be ntrphobic is desperately needed in more adult games, mod or no mod.

AricTriton6 years ago

I’m always open to more ideas. I feel like the second option is very similar to headgirl /tamer but would be interested to see it flushed out in a unique system. The first option fits very well with the new reputation uses the mod is bringing. Feel free to keep them coming and I’ll see what I can work into a future version!

LewdVoid426 years ago

So, mild clarification.

Is there a difference between a version Vx and a V0x, like is v08 the same as v8 or is it like v08 vs v80?

AricTriton6 years ago

At the moment, no. v9 is essentially v.09, but the mod is getting fleshed out to where I don’t see it staying in hundredths for nearly as long and will start going to 1.0, 1.1, etc

khovel6 years ago (1 edit)

I've a suggestion to make.

Id like to see more passive interactions between the slaves. I've seen the events where you intervene, but i'd like to have just random day to day of slave interaction. Like one day 2 slaves have sex on their own and get pregnant without you ever having to interact with them. Or if a slave is lactating, another slave could come and relieve them of the pressure without you having to either send them to the farm, or sucking them yourself. Job like fucktoy, but just for your own slaves to get relief. Would generate mana daily, and be less stressful than the fucktoy job itself due to being with your own slaves only.

So i guess what i'm asking is for a In Mansion job, same requirements as Headmaster, but it provides sexual release for all slaves in the mansion ( scales like cleaning does ) Bottom Bitch or something on those lines could be a name for it.

Also could make it that your slaves have free use of anyone in Jail on a daily basis too with the same outcome, but just builds fear and their preferences/permission doesn't matter because they are in jail.

AricTriton6 years ago

Great suggestion, content along those lines is coming in a future version! :)

Rwbybomb216 years ago

Hey, so I'm a new mod user - for pretty much anything in general - so i was wondering if you could give me a step-by-step on how to do - what is most likely - the most basic stuff when it comes to adding mods to this game. As in, i know next to nothing about modding anything, let alone on PC, and even less when it comes to script and stuff.

so, in short; could you give me a 'beginner's guide to Modding SFP with Aric's Expansion Rebred' please? Word it as though you're trying to show a four year old how to do it.

a very slow four year old.

AricTriton6 years ago

FuturPlanet made a very easy to follow YouTube video that will guide you step by step through the process. They have steps to install RandomPortraits and an Image Pack as well (which you may or may not need, but they are nice additions). Please toss them a like/subscribe if the video helps!

Lifecore6 years ago(+1)

Translated by Google translator:

Hello, I liked this mod and I saw a few problems.
It takes too much time to get the slave a new fetish or to strengthen it. Besides the fact that it is necessary to click a lot of menus every in-game day, it also takes a huge amount of time with a large number of slaves. And considering that slaves grow and develop too quickly, it’s difficult in principle to manage to introduce more than 3 fetishes.
For example:
"Slave number 1" => "talk" => "Let's talk" => "Let's talk about fetishes" => "some kind of fetish number 1"
"Slave number 2" => "talk" => "Let's talk" => "Let's talk about fetishes" => "some kind of fetish number 13"
....
etc.

When there are 10 or more, it becomes a monotonous pain in the ass every in-game day.

I propose to transfer the introduction of fetishes to slaves from the conversation into a new “interaction mode”, if this is of course possible. Now there are only 2 modes of interaction: “Meet” and “Sex”, is it possible to add a third: “fetishes” where you can introduce/strengthen or weaken them, as in the "Meet" mode.

AricTriton6 years ago

That's not a bad idea, it will just involve coding a new interaction menu. The Fetish Overhaul update is several updates away, but I will definitely look into that idea when that comes around. It may be a moot point as the proposed Hypnosis spell/update will provide a passive way of setting a fetish/trigger in their mind that will passively increase it without daily interaction that may resolve that convenience issue.

AricTriton6 years ago(+2)

Update:

Still working on the new update. It's coming along nicely and should be a lot of fun. I editted the main post with proper credits, the video guide that was created, and a general overview.

Cross-Post from another thread, but here's a preview from a part of the new Update that I'm pretty excited about:

Combat Stress Reworked
Combatants (on the player side) no longer suffer a base 3/6 Stress each turn. Now Combatants only receive combat stress if they are damaged and their health lost is greater than their Courage.

How It Works
Please note that all incoming damage is weighted 20% more than previously taken HP damage (Effectively giving a Courage penalty to a massive strike).
If the person loses health, it first checks if they are currently below 25% health OR if their health lost is greater than their total Courage. If so, if the Random 0-100 is greater than their Courage + Confidence/4 (for a max of 50 with 100 in each), they take 2-4 stress (twice if Cowardly).
Otherwise, if their health lost is greater than their Courage/2, it checks if the Random 0-100 is greater than their Courage + Confidence/2 (for a max of 100 with 100 in each). If so, they take 2-4 stress (twice if Cowardly).
If their lost health is less than half of their Courage, they shrug it off and no Stress is gained.

Stress is still gained upon losing allies, however. That just seems fitting.

Benefits of the New Stress System
Beyond making stress management in combat slightly more intuitive and less of a chore, this also provides a lot more functionality to the Protect action. As the only ones who will be making Stress checks are those who take damage, having a Bodyguard with high Courage and Confidence will mean that they are not only soaking up the damage for weaker allies, they are also preventing stress.

centerflag9826 years ago

While the elimination of passive stress gain is awesome, I feel like this is more than a little unbalanced (in the player's favor). Generally speaking, you're going to build your combat party out of slaves with high Courage (like, 60+) in the first place, and then it's going to steadily increase as they fight. Meanwhile, even cheap armor goes a long way toward reducing damage. I don't know if I've ever seen one of my party take more than 20 damage in a single hit, other than against the golem in the ruins.

You might want to consider making Courage/3 the cutoff rather than Courage/2... hell, maybe even /4

AricTriton6 years ago (1 edit) (+1)

I may make it with varying difficulties for player preference. However, that sounds like a party built for end-game content. By that point there are a myriad of ways to handle stress effectively and the stress in combat system starts (for most) becoming more of an annoyance than added difficulty value.

This should balance it out a bit and give a reason for Courageous slaves to be built to fight in early game content.

Marauder7076 years ago

so i'm having trouble with this mod it says I need the appdata file but I don't have it is it named something else or am I missing it

AricTriton6 years ago

Have you watched the video on the main page? That should walk you through the process

Rwbybomb216 years ago

Very help. Big happy.

Rwbybomb216 years ago

ok, so, I watched the video and from the beginning i was confused - the guy obviously knew what he was doing, but the video acts like I know what i'm doing (I don't) and after about 30 seconds i had no idea what was even going on anymore.

yes, I AM that much of a noob to modding.

ankmairdor6 years ago

It would probably help if we knew which parts specifically that you are having trouble with. Otherwise, the Discord(https://itch.io/t/284398/discord) is a great place for fast help.

Rwbybomb216 years ago

I'm literally having issues even attempting to wrap my head around installing the mod; i followed your 'READ ME' instructions to the letter, but i feel like there were steps missing or i'm just a dumb-dumb because im not seeing any changes to the game - like, at all - and its not showing up correctly in the 'mod' list in the main menu.

I would join the discord but discord and i are taking a break - purely mutual, i assure you. so i'm just kinda hoping to glean any and every little bit of information about how to correctly download this thing without turning my computer into a schnitzel.

ankmairdor6 years ago

If the mod is not showing up in the mod list, then that means that the mod folder(the one you get after extracting it from the mod's ZIP archive) is not properly located in Strive's folder for mods.

If you have not extracted the mod, try right-clicking it and looking for an extract option. I generally use the WinRar utility for extracting, but other methods can work.

To locate Strive's mods folder, go to the Mods menu (the screen with the mod list) and press "Open Mod Folder". If a folder window pops up, then you simply copy the mod's folder into that folder window.

Restart Strive so that it will check again for mods. If you successfully completed this step, then "AricsExpansion" should be in the mod list.

Rwbybomb216 years ago

so im gonna flat out say that im an idiot; i think i did something wrong with the initial extraction of Aric's and i may have been screwed from the beginning; that is to say, i didnt extract the mod and place it into App/data/roaming/strive/mods, but only placed the folder that says something like 'put this in app/data/roaming/strive/mods' in there, and thus may have cocked up any chance i had of the mod working from the start; so im gonna uninstall it, reinstall it, hit myself with a hammer for obvious reasons - it may knock common sense into me, who knows? - and erase strive as well. i barely had any save data anyway, so im not too bothered. ill get rid of both the mod AND the game, reinstall strive, reinstall aric's and actually follow the instructions to the letter instead of going 'i dont know what that means and why its worded like that so blah blah its ignored'.

am vurry big dumb.

Rwbybomb216 years ago

hey, so, just want to make sure i've finally done it right - should the mod main menu screen look like this?

ankmairdor6 years ago

Obviously not, as I stated before: "If you successfully completed this step, then "AricsExpansion" should be in the mod list."
Most likely your mod folder path has been changed during your journey, so you will need to fix it. Click the bottom right button with the folder path in it. You will be able to see a "mods" folder listed. Select the "mods" folder once (twice will enter that folder) and press "Select this folder".

L33tfr0g6 years ago

No, that is not right. This screen should display the content of the mod folder (number 3 in your list). You have to reset the path one step further into you mod folder. Then it should display "AricsExpansion" and "Constants" for you like this :

Rwbybomb216 years ago

do i just press 'apply' and restart the game? or do i need to do anything else?

Rwbybomb216 years ago(+1)

I GOT THE MOD WORKING!!! Hallelujah! praise be!

thanks guys. really, thanks for the help.

Rwbybomb216 years ago(+1)

so, been playing with the mod and i noticed some things that i thought felt off, and i'm not sure anyone else has mentioned them yet so i'm just gonna list some things i noticed.

1. despite there being an incest scene with Emily and Tisha, and Emily expressing enjoyment over the act, when I 'Talk' to her and ask her how she feels about incest she expresses disgust.

2. Less of an issue and more of an idea; with the option to 'erase' people's personality's and in-game memories (Using amnesia potion on Chloe, getting the bad end of Cali's sidequest and turning her into a pet, etc) i was thinking that you should add a whole new trait to them. For example, you get 'Gratitude' from any NPC you help out in their sidequests, but you can also get it by erasing their memories and turning them into sex-pets; which bothered me for some reason. So maybe you could make a new trait; call it, i dunno, something like 'Ingrained' or 'indebted' or something, for if you take that kind of route when finishing up a character's sidequest.

3. some grammar errors with the 'sex-text' and some issues where instead of flavour text i just get 'error/colour/sample/text_yellow' or something like that.

4. this could just be a base-game issue and i'm being dumb but hey, figured I'd mentioned it. I got a pop-up letting me know about an 'abuse' feature, something about being able to 'abuse' prisoners, and i think its supposed to act as an extra option in the interaction menu but im not sure. Anyway, if this is an option i'm not seeing it show up anywhere, and searching the game's guide and wiki dont bring up anything so i'm leaning toward it being a mod thing. I'd just like tyo know what that actually is, because i can't do it. Whatever 'it' even is.

5. I noticed that if i stuff a character's vagina with nut-butter, she inflates. not an issue. when i nut exclusively in her vagina and the text says "she has started drooling and coughing up cum working its way up from her ass" I'm like 'bruh, bodies don't be like that doe'. pliz explain.

6. I gave my character a massively massive long-schlong, okay? his name is big-dick silver-prick and he aint no small boi in the nut compartment either. I adore Maple. Maple is tiny. I fucked Maple. "Maple's pussy has been stretched, it is now 'tiny'." My long-john-big-schlong should have left that tiny fairy girl gaping like a bystander of 9/11, yet she just struts about all happy and stuff while the text torments me with " Maple's pussy has been stretched. It is now tiny". C e a s e this torment

that's about it. apart from that though, this mod is great!

AricTriton6 years ago

1) That is a scripted vanilla event and not tied in to the fetish system at all. Unfortunately, altering that to tie into the system would be a huge chore and probably break a lot of things. Maaaaybe one day.

2) I'll keep that idea in mind

3) If you get a screenshot of the issue I'll definitely take a look at it.

4) There used to be a system (in vanilla) to abuse via the Talk system, but all of that was replaced by the Interaction menu. That is where you can torment/torture to your hearts delight, I think the other is just a description from before that change.

5) That description was just a quick "Lets get this thing released" and works off swollen level and not location. It will be fixed in a future version.

6) This one is a weird back and forth issue. I had the system set to stretch fairly quickly and (possibly) accurately, but the primary complaint was that every character was ending up stretched and torn. I drastically lowered the amount that someone will stretch per encounter for popular request, however left the setting as an option in expansion.gd (near the top, under settings) for you to be able to manually select your chance of stretching. The values are: stretchchancevagina = 50, stretchchanceanus = 50.

centerflag9826 years ago

With regard to stretching: the amount and chance of possible stretching in a single session is currently alright, but tightening is kind of an issue.

1. It happens way too fast. I spent a week trying to stretch Cali enough that I could fuck her without risking tearing, but gave up because she was tightening at least as fast as I was building up stretch.

2. Minimum tightness is a bit too low, particularly on vaginas. Seems like 90% of characters have a minimum (which due to the above problem they're nearly always at) of "tiny," no matter their age. Adults shouldn't naturally tighten below average once stretched past it, and teens should only have a chance of doing so

Vandyl6 years ago

Is there a plan to add gendered animals to the kennels? Like a choice to choose between male or female horses and dogs?

AricTriton6 years ago

There aren't at this point. That isn't really something I'm interested in as I feel the prevalence of beastkin/halfkins fills that fetish fairly well. Considering the animals don't persist after the scene and are just there as a temporary "here, have another penis" method, I'm not sure what the benefit would be. I could see it more if the animals were persistent, trainable, had traits, etc...but then that's a whoooole new system.

Rwbybomb216 years ago(+1)

you could make it so that animals can get people pregnant, and the spawn from that pregnancy turn into halfkin/beastkin of that animal type?

so horse would be Taurus/rare chance of centaur

dog would be wolfkin/foxkin

unsure about felines but...eh, you could think on that one.

DeathnDekay6 years ago

if I'm not mistaken, animals stats aren't saved like a slave's is. The update function doesnt keep them in mind. It would be easy to add new "dummy" races to the pool rather than relying on kennel animals

centerflag9826 years ago

Yeah if nothing else I'd love if they could knock your slaves up

DeathnDekay6 years ago(+1)

Maybe it could work if a boolean (isImpregByHorse) was made to the Mansion.gd and/or person.gd.

DeathnDekay6 years ago

I'm looking through your modifications to the Mansion.gd. If it is not too much to ask, what problems did you run into when modding it?

AricTriton6 years ago

About what specifically? Mansion is probably the largest file in the game and covers a lot of different functions

DeathnDekay6 years ago

specifically changing the cost of raising offspring.

I tried to mess around with that portion and ended up with a parse error

Wait..... Did you rewrite the entire thing?!

AricTriton6 years ago

I didn’t rewrite that entire portion but did heavily modify it. There are two separate locations that have to be changed to alter the cost. What are you trying to make that cost?

DeathnDekay6 years ago

I'm trying to implement that alternative birth cost. I liked how you handled that (especially as a breeder class). I want to add more classes which affect birth cost, but everytime I touch the file it causes weird errors

AricTriton6 years ago

What're your ideas for the alternative classes? It shouldn't be hard to put a check in their for specific costs for different player specialties.

DeathnDekay6 years ago

Breeder - of course, plays as normal
Commander - extra xp and learning points for slaves; however slaves cost more
Lab Master - Free Lab; more modification = higher selling price; slaves faster disobedience
Cultist - can create slaves (cost a lot of mana)

As well as modifications to existing classes

It just seems the vanilla Mansion.gd is a house of glass.

WolfLynd6 years ago

I think I found a bug basicly whenever I have a threesome and fuck them in turns it say that I have undersized penis when my character have a big one but if i fuck them the ass it doesnt say anything.

AricTriton6 years ago

There is currently an issue with the way the game reads multiple partners. It displaying that twice is because it reads and displays all members of the giver/taker groups together. What that would actually mean is that Maple's vagina would be 2 sizes larger than your penis and Chloe's would be 3. Asses are sized differently than vaginas, so that would explain the difference with that. I'm assuming one has a Huge vagina and one has Loose. Is that accurate?

It may be misreading and calculating both together, though I haven't seen that happen in my experience.

WolfLynd6 years ago

If I have sex with them differently there is no problem and as of the actual sizes chloe's was tight and maple's was tiny. (and when i still kept going it said that their vagina started to bleed)

AricTriton6 years ago

That’s good to know. Yeah, I’ll have to look into that after this update

My laboratory appears to be broken:

Normally I'd try to figure out the issue myself but this one has me stumped

ankmairdor6 years ago

Someone else had the same problem, either an installation problem or mod compatibility issue. https://itch.io/post/1058930

centerflag9826 years ago (3 edits)

Ah, yeah, it's ElPresidente's that's the issue then. Can't figure out where exactly the incompatibility is though

EDIT: Alright what the fuck, on_lab_pressed() is identical between vanilla and EPT, and Aric's doesn't even touch it... how is there even an issue here?!

Another EDIT: Welp, just got rid of laboratory.gd from EPT and somehow it works now. Whatever

AricTriton6 years ago

At least you figured out a solution. Maybe there was a function in there that miscalled something else? Who knows

Leonais6 years ago (1 edit)

I've loaded this up for the first time and my first impression is that it is a little cluttered with information, particularly with the new traits. I think the movement trait can be hidden for walkers so only flyers and crawlers are shown. The genital traits could be in the character description, alongside the genital description, instead of in the trait summary.

AricTriton6 years ago

I'll consider moving those traits, that's a good idea.

Regarding Movement, the placement in traits is temporary. It will be moving to somewhere else (I'm currently liking next to Specializations) as an icon.

SinnamonBunAnnon6 years ago

Alright, so I have been adoring this mod so far. It gets a little clunky here and there, but not any major complaints about that here. One thing that is really bugging me though is that a few of my girls (particularly the ones with good milk flow traits) lactate so much in a single day that it gives them 800+ stress, even after I've done everything in my power to alleviate it from the previous day. You can imagine how frustrating it is to have your favorites have a mental breakdown each damn day. While I am rolling in cash from a couple of them, the ones I actually want to keep around the mansion are fucked. And not in the good way. Is there any way to help with this (since I'm an absolute dumbass and might not have seen an obvious solution) or should I just wait for updates? I know a few people have asked similar things, but I didn't want to get rid of the mod in the meantime since I'm enjoying it. sincerely, a horny on main lesbian who hopes this comment isn't too unbearably annoying.

LewdVoid426 years ago

I think there was an error with variable names in regards to lactation, so that it wasn't turning off or slowing down when it was supposed to, Aric's fixing that in the v09 if i remember correctly. In the mean while, he posted a mini spell/mod someone made to help drain your overfilled girls.

AricTriton6 years ago(+1)

It is part of the huge farm update (v.9) but that's still squarely in progress. For now, try putting this in Spells.gd and casting it on your girls. That will completely drain them (supposedly, I haven't had my game playable while working on the update to try it yet).

https://itch.io/post/1068458

SinnamonBunAnnon6 years ago

Oh! Thank you both so much. I'll start using that immediately, and be waiting excitedly for the update too.

SinnamonBunAnnon6 years ago

Tried it. Worked like a charm on buildup. I've still gotta deal with the daily stuff, but this is so much easier, haha. Thanks again!

Swogor6 years ago (1 edit)

Came here to report the same issue. While we're at it, there should probably be a point where slaves stop producing milk if they aren't pregnant or being milked regularly. I have one slave that had a baby once, and now is constantly producing milk (luckily without this bug, so an enchanted sundress is enough to keep her at low stress, but still). It's also just a lot of busywork to have to milk them through sex or rotating them through the farm, adding an option to allow them to milk themselves (which wastes it but keeps them lactating) would be nice.

AricTriton6 years ago

There is/was that feature, Swgor. If you go to the expansion.gd file in the mod and go to the option in settings (at the very top) named “lactationstops”, just turn that from false to true (lower case). That will trigger the system that will have a chance to stop lactating daily (increasing in chance every day they aren’t milked).

It’s annoying to have to edit the game files, I know, but after the farm overhaul I’ll work on making settings editable in game

tommiboy5956 years ago

i love your profile pic. i just caught up on i love yoo after letting a few chapters build up.

Rwbybomb216 years ago

just a thought i figured would be nice to throw out there.

SFP is like, the only game of this kind. with enslavement and impregnation and noncon and all sorts of other fetishes; i haven't come across a single other game even remotely similar to this yet and trust me, i've been looking.

just thought i'd throw that out there. makes you appreciate Strive a little bit more.

AricTriton6 years ago(+1)

It definitely exists in a very specific niche, but I think it is the best game out there for those fetishes by far.

centerflag9826 years ago

Free Cities (more specifically, FC Pregmod) is also great for this - though it lacks the RPG elements and involved sex system Strive has. Fantastic in other ways though.

AricTriton6 years ago

The way I look at it, Free Cities is like the Civilization series where this is like X-Com. Still strategy and some similarities, but that is more overview where this gets more detailed into the units.

centerflag9826 years ago

Pretty good comparison! Personally I'd say it's more Mount & Blade vs Dragon Age: a ton of units distinguished only by type, with a handful you actually care (very much if you play FC like me) about - versus a small number of characters who all mean something to you

AricTriton6 years ago

That’s a good comparison, if for no other reason than you are naming some solid games!

Kahuld6 years ago(+1)

Free Cities, Pytfall(although focuses more on rpg elements over slavery atm), whoremaster (use crazys mod) to name a few. IMO though, free cities and strive will be your best bet. Pytfall feels the most similar to strive. Yet entirely different. Whoremaster is very old, and I havent played it in a very long time, but crazys mod just got updated not long ago, maybe worth a shot. Personally I enjoy them all to some extent.

Leonais6 years ago (1 edit) (+1)

One thing that really annoyed me in the base game was the amount of time the slaves spent outside the mansion after level up requests. You could easily find half your slaves away on rotation all game long with grade increases and holidays. I fixed this in my own mod and it would be quite easy to put into other mods too.

In jobs&specs.gd, var leveluprequests, add a vacation requirement of 'person.metrics.ownership >= 7' and a slave won't ask for a holiday until they've been with you seven days. Add improvegrade requirement of person.level >= 4 and only the experienced slaves will be asking for a grade increase.

AricTriton6 years ago

That’s a fantastic idea. If you’re cool with it I’ll tag that into this next update with credit

Leonais6 years ago (1 edit) (+1)

Go ahead.

Adding automatic enchantment naming should be straightforward too. In enchantments.gd there's a line

enchant.descript = "[color=green]" + tempenchant.name.replace('&100v', str(enchant.effectvalue*100)).replace("&v", str(enchant.effectvalue)) + "[/color]"

I made more complex changes in my mod but something like this should work fine.

var desc = tempenchant.name.replace('&100v', str(enchant.effectvalue*100)).replace("&v", str(enchant.effectvalue))

enchant.descript = "[color=green]" + desc + "[/color]"
item.name += ", " + desc

Swogor6 years ago(+1)

Since you mentioned you're doing a combat overhaul, a nice QoL feature would be if we could set a "standard inventory" the game would try to fill at the start of each day. So, something like automatically put 2 ropes, 5 bandages and 3 supplies in our inventory and put everything else in the mansion at the start of the day.

AricTriton6 years ago(+1)

That is a fantastic idea!

Rwbybomb216 years ago(+3)

so, a friend of mine who plays strive almost religiously - he has 14,000 in game days worth of gameplay - told me he was making a mod for it; i didnt catch it all, because he's weird and talks like his mouth is attached to an F1 racing car, but apparently he's making a mod that makes the game more...wholesome?

like, proper wholesome stuff - holding hands and skipping through daisy fields, marriage, monogamy with the person you married, etcetera.

just thought i'd let you all know in case it ever does get done and it shows up here.

centerflag9826 years ago

Please tell your friend I said he is both fucking insane and also I wholeheartedly support his idea

Rwbybomb216 years ago (1 edit) (+2)

its both stupidly insane and insanely stupid and i want him to finish it just to see what that would be like.

Edit: I got more details on what he's adding.

- Consensual romance system (Marriage, friends-to-lovers, captive-to-lovers, etcetera)

- Dating/marriage/mourning (If your partner dies you can mourn them, only enabled when permadeath is enabled)

- Emotions system; adding spells so you can see the emotional state of people, not just their stress levels.

- (Ties in with emotions system) A way for your character to do more than just rape/kill/leave anyone they capture after a battle. Will be adding the ability to 'woo' bandits and enemies, sometimes even bandit capture victims.

- More random first names/surnames, some characters will come with their own nickname.

- This bit confused me but i'll see if anyone here can parse out what he means. "A way for your kids to act independently from their creator, sometimes acting as mercenaries without it being a setting." the only thing i can guess this is, is that the kids your character has can...set their own jobs? idk

- Patricide/Matricide; Setting it so that, if you don't treat your kids well enough, they'll express a desire to leave, kill you, or become disobedient. This one sounds sweet tbh.

So yeah, I'm not seeing how he's gonna do this to be honest, but he's done a lot of modding for different games before so...im just gonna trust him and go 'do it or don't'.

DeathnDekay6 years ago

I like the idea. I think it would be a good idea for bonus for treating your slaves/spouse/etc well.

AricTriton6 years ago(+1)

I love seeing new modders hit the scene and add more content! If there's anything that I can do to help your friend, just let me know! I think that'd be a fun addition. The marriage concept has been mentioned and I had something similar slated for a future version but if he makes it and we work out some compatibility, I'd be happy to see it!

The Independent Actors idea (regarding the kids idea) with "squads" that can be sent out is something that is very likely going to be happening in the Town Expanded update building off of the persistent NPCs format. Its tricky to get to play nicely, but very doable. Good luck to him and I look forward to seeing it!

PornPleb6 years ago(+2)

Ah yes, gimme dat cute sh*t

Leonais6 years ago (2 edits) (+2)

I found a bug months ago where the farm panel was opened in background behind the character detail in the mansion, but only when a character was selected in the character list. I think Ankh fixed this in the main code but this mod still carries the original bug (presumably as it copied an older version of the file).

At the start of on_farm_pressed in mansion.gd you can add the lines

_on_mansion_pressed()
yield(self, 'animfinished')

and this seems to act as a general reset for the UI, fixing this problem.

AricTriton6 years ago

I appreciate that! I'm integrating Ank's changes so it will be up to date on the latest Bug Fix for the next version for all of those other little quirks too. Its a pain to go line by line for the bug fixes in the files, but it keeps me from having to reinvent the wheel at least.

PornPleb6 years ago(+1)

I have a request, I really like Darin's Chastity mod but its not compatible with the newest version of rebirth. and given his last activity was over 2 months ago I was wondering if you were think of creating something similar, or maybe you could ask if he wants to just have is mod be picked up by you? I really like the idea of orgasm blockers and it kinda sucks that I have to choose between the 2.

AricTriton6 years ago

I intend to merge parts of his mod (with permissions, of course) into this one in a future update. It'll be a little bit, but that is intended and coming. :)

tommiboy5956 years ago(+1)

honestly, im looking forward to the growth of this mod, or rather expansion, than i was the the original completed game. I'm super hyped.

AricTriton6 years ago(+1)

Thanks! I appreciate that!

Crow6 years ago

@AricTriton I don't suppose there is a MacOS version of this modding guide, if not it's still good for me to run on my PC, but would like to use mac track pad. Just let me know soon as ya can, thanks mate

ankmairdor6 years ago(+1)

Until a recent find, the game has not supported modding on MacOS. This post(https://itch.io/t/628179/how-to-make-mods-work-on-mac-osx-without-wine) details a new method found for enabling mods on MacOS. He even wrote a guide for Aric's mod. If it works, please let us know.

Crow6 years ago (1 edit)

oh wow that was very fast response, much obliged ankmairdor, i"ll be working on that shortly, let ya know how it goes

Crow6 years ago (3 edits)

@ankmairdor I followed this guide, and i indeed got the male & female portraits working but when checking the "talk" selection i still have the default 3 options, as well as checking the customization on new game after enabling the Aric mod along with portraits tho im very unexperienced with enabling modes other than hitting apply and opening the game, I'm unaware if something i did not do didn't register or what tho. I may just have to attempt tomorrow on my desktop. any further insight would be appreciated, tho you did already provide tons of assistance.

ankmairdor6 years ago

Sorry, but there's not much additional assistance I can offer as I don't have a MacOS and don't have much experience with it. Asking in the other thread for help as you've already done is all that I could recommend.

Crow6 years ago

no problem, i just wanted again to thank you for all you have already shown me. I will add a small bit, idk if you were made aware, the newest version seems to have no daily log, so im using the version right before this newest one, minor hiccups, but thanks none-the-less mate

ankmairdor6 years ago

There were reports of the daily log not appearing, mainly there was an incompatibility with save files from prior versions of the game. https://itch.io/t/542925/bug You'll probably want to edit the save file to fix the problem as my bugfix on Discord is not compatible with Arics Mod. There are some significant differences between 0.5.24 and 0.5.25, so I would not expect Arics Mod to work on it.

As a side note, I am curious if MacOS boots the game with 2 windows: the game and a terminal for error messages.

Crow6 years ago

Gotcha, well i did have the 0.5.25 for all the modding attempts i was doing, seeing it not function i have switched over to .24 as of right now, will attempt running it on my pc tomorrow with the edits after i've completed them. i'll try looking into that fix for log if i can get the mod to work. onto your side note, it does not boot with multiple windows, the terminal is able to be opened in the file(i think, i actually have no clue how to use those) but the game .app is the only thing that boots up on Mac

AricTriton6 years ago

Wish I could help, but same thing here. No Mac to test it on. The next version will have Ank's bugfixes integrated though, so maybe it'll fix that daily log issue?

Raikon456 years ago

Hi. Im new to mod of this game and i wanna try it. But i saw you hv 2mod of this expansion. Whats the different between both? Which one you recommend me to try first? Thanks

PornPleb6 years ago

the other one is no longer being worked on, to my knowledge rebred is a reworked version of the other one plus a handful of updates.

AricTriton6 years ago

The old one was a concept but it got really convoluted as I kept having to patch it as the game was updated. This one is far more stable. If you'd like to try the old one, you'll need to use the 5.22b game version that is linked on the front page of that thread.

Raikon456 years ago

I see. I think ill try this one first. Thanks for the reply.

Rwbybomb216 years ago (1 edit) (+1)

So, a complaint; a big one.

I have 1000 in game days logged with this character and her starting slave, right? so, i have held off the urge to sex her up because i've been too busy managing the other slaves and playing through the campaign. so, i finish the campaign, i have every upgrade possible and the mansion basically runs itself at this point, so i go 'why not'.

i knock her up.

she accrues 597 stress over the course of ONE NIGHT, and dies after four days because she accrued 1,000 stress after a single day of lactation. she was my favourite slave, broken to all hell with max stats and she could one shot near everything. she was INVALUABLE. she was tough as shit, shrugging off eight bandits wailing on her for five minutes straight with barely a dent to her health.

she died to a single night of lactation.

discuss.

EDIT: no screenshots because i accidentally forgot to, but the point stands.

AricTriton6 years ago

That is the most extreme version of this bug that I've heard (and I am sorry to hear that about your slave, I really hope you had saves and/or working autosaves to reload) but that general bug is part of what escalated the Farm Expansion update to the one that I've been working on now. That is the active issue that I'm working on and will be fixed.

My files are all over the place with the new update so I haven't tested this specific code yet but this should limit the stress that slaves can get from Lactation (dramatically limit it). If you're comfortable with editing files, open up expansion.gd in Notepad++ or something and search (Ctrl+F) for dailyLactation. Copy/Paste over everything from #Pressure Stress and Swelling to #Keep the Secret with the following. Hopefully that'll let you keep playing on that save (ideally from a day or two before it went haywire) without that issue.

    #Pressure Stress and Swelling
    pressure = person.lactating.milkstorage - person.lactating.milkmax
    pressure = clamp(pressure, -10, 10)
    if pressure > 0:
        #Chance at Swelling
        if globals.titssizearray.find(person.titssize)*3 < pressure && rand_range(0,100) <= globals.expansion.chancelactationincreasetits + pressure:
            if globals.titssizearray.back() != person.titssize:
                text += "$name's "+ str(person.titssize) +" "+str(nameTits())+ " were so filled and full of pressure that $his body could only handle it by "+str(nameStretching())
                person.titssize = globals.titssizearray[globals.titssizearray.find(person.titssize)+1]
                var hpdamage = round(rand_range(pressure,pressure*2.5))
                text += " to "+ str(person.titssize) +".\nThis caused damage to $his health. [color=red]" +str(hpdamage)+ " Health Lost[color]"
                #Inflict Damage. They won't die from it though.
                if person.health - hpdamage <= 0:
                    person.health = 1
                    if person.energy - hpdamage >= 0:
                        person.energy -= hpdamage*2
                    else:
                        person.energy = 0
                    text += "Due to $his extremely poor health condition, $his energy has been drastically reduced as well by the incident.\n[color=red]" +str(hpdamage*2)+ "Energy Lost[color]\n"
                else:
                    text += "\n"
                    person.health -= hpdamage
        #Apply Pressure Stress
        if globals.fetishopinion.find(person.fetish.lactation) >= 3 || person.traits.has('Masochist'):
            person.lust += pressure
            text += "$name's " +str(nameTits())+ " are so "+str(nameStretched())+"that $he would normally feel incredibly stressed by it. Instead, $he is simply [color=green]turned on[/color] by the pain of $his swollen " +str(nameTits())+ ".\n$He gained [color=red]"+str(pressure)+ " Lust[/color]\n"
        elif globals.expansion.settings.lactationstressenabled == true:
            person.stress += pressure
            text += "$name's " +str(nameTits())+ " are so "+str(nameStretched())+" that $he constantly feels the pain from $his achy " +str(nameTits())+ ".\n$He gained [color=red]"+str(pressure)+ " Stress[/color]\n"
        person.lactating.pressure = pressure
    #Keep the Secret (if Possible)

Rwbybomb216 years ago

unfortunately all of the autosaves are quite literally just after she gets pregnant and accrues stress, so she is essentially an 'dead' character either way. But, i did pull my collective three brain cells together and i added this script in, tested it with a different character, and noticed that the most stress they ever gained was between two and 50.

in short; the script works, my brain doesn't.

AricTriton6 years ago(+1)

As long as she is still alive, any of those saves should work as she’s never going to gain that 1k again. I’m glad that got you going for now!

Swogor6 years ago

You could open up your save file in a JSON editor and find the slave, and try to set all their lactation/stress-related variables back to 0.

centerflag9826 years ago

As someone else said, you can still open up the save file (don't need a specific JSON editor, even just np++ or VSC will work) and manually reset her stress

Nyegnav6 years ago

Fix seems to bork my game.

Any thoughts?

ankmairdor6 years ago (1 edit)

"Parse Error: Unexpected indent."
"expansion.gd: 2525"
Edit: 2525 is the line number of the error(though any lines you changed will have the same error, only the first one is listed)

The text in the browser has spaces instead of tabs, which will likely upset the Godot engine when copying the text from the browser to the text editor. It believes you are missing tabs/indent cause there are spaces instead. Replace groups of 4 spaces with a tab. Some text editors have this functionality built in, otherwise use the "Find and Replace"/"Replace...".

LokiOathbreaker6 years ago

I applied the fix and it worked to quell the problem, for the most part, but now I'm getting these and the day end doesn't work properly anymore (no report window opening, tasks/jobs probably aren't working though some seem to, so not entirely sure there).

Seems that some new code slipped into the hotfix, and the old code doesn't recognized it. Try replacing:

"elif globals.expansion.settings.lactationstressenabled == true:"

with:

"else:"

LokiOathbreaker6 years ago

Worked like a charm, thank you!

AricTriton6 years ago

That's the problem with trying to bugfix mid update. Thanks Ank!

Tyrgalon6 years ago

Replacing "true" with "else" at that place causes this to happen for me:
It now wont open the slaves personal pages when you click them.

ankmairdor6 years ago

You made a mistake on that line, based on your comment you replaced part of the line with "else". But the intended fix requires you to replace the entire text on that line with "else:".

Tyrgalon6 years ago

Ohhh...ok my bad.

Rwbybomb216 years ago

Hey, so I'm a big dumbdumb and did...something...i'm not even sure what, but it erased the script below, and when i tried to put it back in I couldn't find expansion.gd again, and I've forgotten where it's located. Could you give me a file reference of where it should be? I don't wanna load it up in case my computer fucking explodes or something without it.

thanks for that

Genwolf5 years ago

I am getting the below error can anyone tell me where I am going wrong.

Thanks

ankmairdor5 years ago

Hard to know exactly, but based on the errors, you probably put the fix code in the wrong function. When he says find "dailyLactation" there are 2 cases, it looks like you put it after the first rather than the second.

It's not the simplest instructions for those who don't know how to code. You were supposed to find the code that starts with "#Pressure Stress and Swelling" and ends with "#Keep the Secret (if Possible)" and put the fix there. The code you are replacing should be very similar to the fix.

Hey Terminusz, what portrait pack are you using? Out of curiosity.

squeakysea1236 years ago

Hey Aric, little thing I noticed. It seems that when someone covers up their chest automatically at the end of the day, the text is displayed in the daily log, but they don't actually put clothes back on so it just repeats every day until they are told to cover up again. Seems pretty minor, hopefully an easy fix!

AricTriton6 years ago

Good notice! That is an easy fix, thanks!

Lamia: +1 Agility, +1 Endurance. -20% toxicity gain.

Classes:

Mercenary: To you, the only thing that matters is getting paid, not getting laid. Sex jobs earn 30% less gold, but all non-sex jobs earn 30% more.

Centurion: All you've known is combat and leadership, so stick with what you're good at. Strength +2, Endurance +1. Starts off with extra Communal Rooms unlocked.

Scientist: They called you mad, you called yourself a visionary. Starts with the laboratory unlocked. Laboratory experiments cost less to use. +1 Magic Affinity

Magician: A genius in the magical arts...but nowhere else, unfortunately. Spells cost 40% less gold to purchase and 50% less mana to cast. -2 Endurance, -3 Strength, +3 Magic Affinity.

Thief: You've trained your whole life picking pockets, it's practically second nature. +2 Agility, -1 strength. +15 Gold at the end of every day.

obviously some of these suggestions are unbalanced, but...i figured i'd spitball, you know?

AricTriton6 years ago

I like them! Very doable. If you think of any more, let me know and I’ll test and work them into a future version.

reinyn6 years ago (1 edit)

I really like those ideas as well. But you are right that some of them are a bit unbalanced. For example with the slime class, not being able to experiment on them in the laboratory will pretty much make sure that they cannot gain those 2 bonus points that any other race can get for both strength and agility by using said laboratory. Would that not be a little bit harsh? Maybe instead give them a -2 to magic instead.

As for the thief class that you mentioned, while it is a great idea it also is extra money without a penalty for it. If we would expand upon it a bit then a good thief would not get caught but after a while people would still realise that they are starting to miss money, and eventually would connect the dots, with you being close every time some of their money goes missing.

Would a small loss of reputation at the end of every week in the city where your mansion is located be a sufficient counter penalty for your thief class?

EDIT: Also another small idea, but i truly do not know if this is possible. But maybe set the players stats by race, instead of giving the player the ability to pick their own stats. (What i mean by that is normally after the player picks race they can decide how to divide their stats, with my suggestion your stats would be dependant on what race you pick. For example, the player picks a demon as race instead of getting to decide yous status after that have it literally have the status of an ingame demon.) Namely at the max without improvements 5 to 4 to 4 to 3 in strength, agility, magic and endurance respectively.

With high regards,

Reinyn

Rwbybomb216 years ago

I like the idea, actually, but it's all up to Aric whether it's even implemented or not.

ElPresidente6 years ago

I wouldn't give slime strength. Slimes are basically all endurance, because they are so hard to harm. But being very liquid-like means no real strength.

For Dragonkin, I'd say +1 natural armor

Arachna +3 agility is way too much. Arachnas are big, no way they'll be agile. You could give them (and lamias) the poison ability (chance to reduce random enemy stat by 1 per hit or something similar) or webbing (basically natural slow ability, no mana required)

Drayad - since they are plant/tree like, I'd probably give them good STR and END, but low AGI. Slow and steady. Bonus on farm jobs, lumberjacking

Elves - I'd balance them better, give regular elves nature essence, with elves being mostly agi and magic based (drow might be more STR but less MAG)

Angels and Fairies get Flying, which is a great thing, but with proper weight penalties would be better balanced. The STR penalty of fairies would come into play, making them evasive, magic support, since they can't carry as much as angels, nor can they hit as hard in melee.

Angels... heal bonus or bonus on nurturing jobs (Nurse)?

AricTriton6 years ago

These are great suggestions and I’ll dig more into them after the update, however:

Arachna’s won’t need the Agility updates. They have (as of the v.9 update) a race-specific Mass Web ability. It is similar to a weaker Debilitate with a longer cool down, but should add some fun racial quirks to fights. I needed a distraction from the farm upgrade one night and played with it.

I like the idea of a poison for Lamias. Eventually any race (or person, if added via laboratory) with wings will have the Fly ability. Beyond that, if you think of any others that could be appropriate to various races (vaguely based on existing abilities just for simplicity and sanity), chime in!

ElPresidente6 years ago

Barkskin for drayads? Vine manipulation?

Demons/succubi might have seduction or drain kiss? I guess bonus on sexual jobs?

Wolfgirls - pack bonus (+1 damage or +1 defense for every worlfgirl in party?)

Kitsunes/fox girls - bonus on spell efficiency/mana reduction?

shawn996 years ago

So, I've noticed a bug during sex. Not sure if its caused by the mod or not though. When one partner is lactating, and the option of suck/fondle breasts is selected, it states that the person DOING the sucking/fondling is the one that enjoys being milked instead of the receiver (who is lactating) being milked.

AricTriton6 years ago(+1)

That is the mod, the bug is fixed in the halfway done (ish) v.9.

Rwbybomb216 years ago (1 edit) (+1)

quick question; anyone tell me how to delete save files? i got some i used for testing stuff but i don't know how to delete them without going through the files. ideas?

EDIT: Nevermind, i just went into the App Data/ Roaming/ Strive/ Saves and manually deleted them form there.

Alarkusitch6 years ago

Hey there, made an account just to write this. Started playing Strive a couple of days ago with this mod.

I have a problem where a slave that has been impregnated has the "she does not want the child" tag (mind reading), even though she gave consent and also replied positively when asked the first time, stat screen also says she gave consent. Adding to that is the lactation bug which results that the slave accumulates so much stress at the end of the day that her mental stats decrease.

I've seen in some post before that the issue "is resolved in v.9" for the impregnation consent bug. Up for download I can only see v.81 so I'm assuming it still has to be released, or I'm just blind. When will the fix for this be available? As it stands now it makes the game quite unplayable for me.

Is there anything I can do to fix this myself?

I tried already editing the save file just to fix the mental stats but i'm too dumb to do it. I've read it is possible to edit with notepad++ and a plugin called JSToolNPP but when I try to use it it says that it's not compatible with the current version of notepad++. The thread where I read this i also a year old now.

Anyway I could live with the fact that the bug is fixed and that I'll just have to teach the slave her mental stats back in game.

Thanks in advance for the reply and keep up the good work!

AricTriton6 years ago

Hey hey! Still smack in the middle of it but here’s how to fix it for now:

https://itch.io/post/1090470

Rwbybomb216 years ago

just had one of the worst cases of that milking glitch i've ever had

AricTriton6 years ago

Is that with the new code snippet from a few posts prior to this copied into it?

Rwbybomb216 years ago

oh shit i knew i forgot to add something. no, it's just base game without the code added. im gonna add the code; or should i just wait until the newest mod update first?

AricTriton6 years ago

I’d go ahead and add that snippet in. The update is still a little bit away. It’s one of the most involved so far, so is taking longer than I hoped

Rwbybomb216 years ago

so, strive for power fans, i found a game that's...somewhat similar to this; text-based, based around slave management, etcetera...it's not as 'in depth' as strive is, but it's similar to it - at least in concept and sometimes in execution. the game's called 'slavemaker'. ask, and i'll give you the link to download the most up-to-date version of it. i'm not gonna post random links on here if no one's interested. that'd just be weird.

SmaugTD6 years ago(+2)

Kinda wrong thread to post this, also I am pretty sure most people know about it.

centerflag9826 years ago

Like Smaug mentioned, most people have probably heard of it - however, you yourself are proof that not everyone has :P
They're right this thread isn't really the place for it though. Maybe make a new thread in General Discussion? (Technically it should be in Off Topic but that's a wasteland, heh)

Rwbybomb216 years ago

Yeah, good point; To be honest I only recently got into these kinds of games, so I didn't really know about SM until about two weeks ago. I got burned out of SFP and was looking for a game similar to it and found SM...I know, interesting story right?

I would post about it but like you said I'm pretty sure people already know about it, and if they don't they can message and i'll give them the link. I can't be arsed making a whole new thread dedicated to the founding of slave games XD

Cobbly6 years ago

Do you by chance have a release date (Or ballpark figure) for the next update?

AricTriton6 years ago

Unfortunately not atm. This update may have been too ambitious to try to bite off in one chunk. I had a couple people who mentioned assisting but haven't heard back from them in a while and my job has been non-stop since mid-December so I haven't had time for modding on the side. I am still working on this during the weekends, but I don't have an ETA at the moment.

I'm still around and working on this, however. Worse case, I may just strip the farm upgrades section that pushes everything to a new panel (which is the holdup atm) to get something released out with the bugfixes, tweaks, and Ank's BugFix integration. I hate to do that as I think the new farm upgrades will be pretty awesome, but I may end up biting the bullet if I can't get this resolved soon.

wtree6 years ago

I recently downloaded and tried to install this mod but couldn't get it to work. When I opened up the "Put in Strive game files" folder I saw there was no mansion file, but instead a "nope, don't use it yet - mansion" file. Can someone please confirm if this is the problem, or if I just need to go back and read the instructions yet again?

ankmairdor6 years ago (1 edit)

The "nope, don't use it yet - mansion" file can be ignored, it is not relevant. Knowing how it does not work would enable us to make a more specific determination of what went wrong. If nothing changes when applied, chances are it's a folder name/placement issue. Re-reading the instructions is not a bad idea.

(edit fixed misstatement)This mod is not necessarily compatible with all other mods (some smaller mods are compatible depending on order); the specifics have been discussed in this thread, but if you list any you may be using an analysis can be made. Also, my bugfix patch is not compatible with this mod as both change too much.

wtree6 years ago

Even though there's no normal Mansions.tscn file? Thanks. I'll give it another go through.

AricTriton6 years ago

As Ank said, that Mansions file is safe to ignore. Are you using any other mods and have you followed the video installation instructions linked on the front page?

K4056 years ago(+1)

Hello. I've installed this mod, seems mostly to be working ok at the moment. Not sure if this is related to some of the issues mentioned above around lactating, but I've found an issue in a sex encounter, when I was the Actor for Nipple sucking, the text displayed as if I was receiving (main character is currently a pregnant female):

AricTriton6 years ago

That is a known issue that is under review. Thanks for the report!

bninja6 years ago

Just thought you might want to know about a slight hiccup in your sex select in the mansion. It kept reporting all realted individuals as not allowing incest so I took a look and it looks like it just checks if they are related. I changed the if statement to this:

if globals.expansion.relatedCheck(i, r) != 'unrelated':

                       if r.consentexp.incest == false || i.consentexp.incest == false:
                           newbutton.set('custom_colors/font_color', Color(1,0.2,0.2))
                           newbutton.hint_tooltip = i.dictionary(str(r.name)+ ' and ' +str(i.name)+ ' are related have not given consent for incestuous actions.')

Sorry if this has been said before, and I know it's a little thing, and I don't have a screenshot of it. After sex it'll sometimes say "so and so manages to get on her names and knees"

I'm not expert on your intentions but I'm guessing it's meant to be "hands and knees"? A little bit of playing around found this in the scripts\newsexsystem.gd file on line 2182 (Using Notepad++)

RiseKnight6 years ago (1 edit)

Handcuff made anyone who wear it has permanent crawling. I got this from my main dragonkin and I have to restart a game cuz i dont have backup lol

tried to edit savegame but it useless

deathknightwolf6 years ago

I had the same issue. You could open the save game in notepad++ and Ctlr F then search for the "crawling". Just change it to "walking" for every instance it shows up and it should fix your problem. As long as they are no longer wearing the handcuffs that is.

Myiai6 years ago (2 edits)

If you change every crawling to walking you just temp force fix it , and possibly let even cuffed slaves to walk thus they can escape and wings+flying etc are changed to walking to. The problem seems to be that the cuffed status is permament and slaves keep it even after removing cuffs/equipping different equipment to the same slot and advancing a day . With only a few slaves and small save you possibly can change restrained to none restraints to free , but i can only hardly see wich part of the code goes to wich slave /i have 10+/ so there are possibly some other things that force keep the cuffed status , thus crawling.

edit : needs a bit of testing , but it looks like it changes the movement trait too so even after editing restrains and restrained it still keeps the crawl, i let my eyes rest a bit and try to dig a bit more in the save

edit 2 : Yepp it seems that cuffs set both movement and movement trait to crawling and the 2nd makes it permament . Code seems to show in mod effect settings that the change in both is intended , but maybe there is somethings that should check and change it back if cuffs are removed , but me to find that its a bit too deep.

Kozik45576 years ago

Will this mod work with a 32-bit version of the game? If so, where do I download that version? It's gotta be v 5.22b, right? I don't know how to find older versions of the game.....

Kozik45576 years ago

Also, I'm running Mac OSX. I've got Wine, (which is why I asked about a 32-bit version) but if your mod is compatible with a 64-bit Mac version of 5.22b, that'd be even better.

ankmairdor6 years ago

This is the new Aric's mod which uses 0.5.25, not 0.5.22b. The game uses the same files for 32-bit and 64-bit, so it won't effect mods at all. Not sure if or how mods work with Wine. If you can't get the mod to work with Wine, then I recommend checking this thread https://itch.io/t/628179/how-to-make-mods-work-on-mac-osx-without-wine

How can I make expansion compatible with Rede's UI mod?

AricTriton6 years ago

That is a great question! I am all for looking into compatibility or integration in the next version if Redle is alright with it, but that would be after I’ve finished the next release (with its new integrations).

Short answer, hopefully soon unless Redle makes a compatibility in the meantime.

BigSlow6 years ago (1 edit)

The Public execution might need some work, and yes I know that sounds bad even for a sex slave management game.

If you try to change the execution method, it sometimes defaults to drowning instead of say, burning or throat-slit. The text also implies its a easier death, but there no precedent or order to which death is more "easier".

Never tried the killing feature, as it seems pointless in the face of getting a free slave for a minuscule amount of bad reputation. It might be a good idea to make the consequences of saving or purchasing the condemned more harsh.

Love the Mod so far, this version seems a bit more stable.

AricTriton6 years ago

Thanks! The Public Execution is really just a way that I’d made to purge the random NPC lists with a little scene (ie: mostly mechanical) but I evolved into a little feature on its own. The ability to save a slave from it was mostly for those moments you fought someone you really wanted but didn’t have a rope and wanted to keep them from getting purged, but I agree that it could use some balance as it makes gathering slaves very easy. If you have any recommendations for what may help it balance the cost/reward of saving a prisoner better, I’d be happy to hear them.

Regarding the Death List, it is weighed by an Array of which sounded worst to me personally, but I will try to add those into a Document in the Library so it is easier to understand the weight value of each death. Definitely taking suggestions on it, like I said it was fairly tacked on to make the purge immersive.

At this moment expanding this feature further (beyond the Reputation aspect for towns) is pretty low on my action list though, as guro isn’t really my fetish. It just kind of made sense for what the feature was, but I’d likely need more feedback on it and/or a writer who gets that fetish a bit more to really know what the community would want expanded with it.

Regarding Stability, I would make sure you have the fix applied for this version (a post or two below has the link). The overproduction was the biggest issue in this version. Thanks for the feedback!

centerflag9826 years ago

I don't really have anything to add to the mechanical discussion here, but as far as writing I could try my hand at a few scene variants.
I'm not really into guro in the sense of outright killing either though, I'm more of a "lethal peril" sort. Bonus points if the victim has at least a slim chance of escape. This sort of thing (non-guro, don't worry). Could be a whole public spectacle, a "trial by perversion" kinda deal, heh. If you're interested I'll see what I can come up with - got at least one idea already ;)

AricTriton6 years ago

I’m definitely open to it if you’re willing to write some scenes for it

For some reason, combat is completely broken for me. When I enter combat, none of the icons appear (Block, Escape, Mind read, etc.) except for the basic attack, and when I click the attack icon, my cursor changes like I've selected it, but I can't actually attack anything. I am using 2 other mods, but I removed them and tried again in a sandbox playthrough and got the same issue.

ankmairdor6 years ago(+1)

Please double check which version of the mod you have installed. It should be v.08.1, if not, then please update.

Have you installed any prior versions of this mod before? I ask because there have been data corruption issues in prior versions.

There should be 2 windows that open when you start the game; one is the game and one is a terminal that reports error messages. If there are any, please either type them or screenshot(on Windows, Alt + PrtSc) them.

Please include a list of all mods used during the save. Even though they don't seem to be related, I don't want to rule that out yet.

Nommerz16 years ago

Fixed it! As it turns out, I was using the wrong version of the Bandit Tooltip mod. I had the version designed for vanilla Strive, because I installed it before deciding to use Aric's Expansion. Although, I'm not sure why the sandbox save I used to troubleshoot had the same issue, even though I had uninstalled the tooltip mod beforehand.

Rwbybomb216 years ago

pretty sure Aric posted a spell for it that fixes the issue completely, but i can't be bothered looking for it - i'm useful, what can i say?

unfortunately for you this means that you'll have to search through some of the posts here, but it shouldn't be too far back. about 30 posts or so?

Ahh ty, will take a look. At least without any fixes being a breeder/farmer seems to be a bit unfeasable due to the issues/bugs.
Does this fix do anything to the crazy breast growth?

AricTriton6 years ago

That limits it some, but the next version (which is coming but a series of sicknesses, deaths, job craziness, and breaking the game attempting to build a whole new area has delayed) will address that far better.

Without too much detail, it’ll break down growth into Temporary for pregnant slaves vs Permanent/hyper growth & hyper-lactation for trained cattle. Should provide a happy medium to both sides of the “expanding slaves” and “usable slaves” aisle.

Tyrgalon6 years ago (1 edit)

Sounds good :D

centerflag9826 years ago

Damn, didn't realize how much you had going on in your life right now (I just figured you were generally busy)... hope you're doing alright, especially given "deaths" being included :|

As far as pregnant slaves' boobs, I hope it'll also be a little less extreme? Most women just gain a few sizes while pregnant IRL. Though (regarding it being temporary) they don't always lose all of them afterward, either - you could make them have a maybe 30% chance of ending the decrease a single size bigger than they were to begin with.

I do! I use even some of my custom art and gimp edited images to match colours. But even then, this game is too promising. Actually I am discussing with my gf (we are both artist) to start a project to complete this game with art and more events/scenes/custom npc. Would be so great. But its just an idea, for now XD

Winterxxx6 years ago

I can't have children with any of my slaves without them hating it. No matter which of them I impregnate, it always comes out that they don't want the baby and that the pregnancy will be more stressful. I always make sure I have their consent both for sex and to impregnate them. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if it's a mistake.

Dartanis6 years ago

Its a bug. There is currently no reliable way for them to be ok with it if you have their consent (except sometimes randomly), and I think the "sometimes randomly" happens specificaly when you DONT have consent. You can easily edit them to be ok with the baby by editing save files. Open the save file (go to your saves ingame and choose "Open Folder" to easily find their location) in Notepad++ or something similar, then find the slave by searching their first name and from their name find the next instance of "wantedpregnancy" . Change "wantedpregnancy":false to "wantedpregnancy":true AFTER they become pregnant. If you try to do it before, the bug will overwrite it back to false. A bit tedious, but it works as a workaround untill Aric gets us the next version that hopefuly fixes this and the balloonlike expansion of breasts.

Winterxxx6 years ago

thanks for the help dude. i was getting anoyed. but whit this i can keep whit my depravation in game. :D

PaarlSombrebete6 years ago

First of all, thanks for this great mod, I've just discovered it and I find it exceptional! <3 <3 <3

However, I had a little question about the movement. I just captured a fairy to be a nurse and a dryad for forage. When I captured them, in the "wild" state, one could fly and one could walk. Now both are crawling.

Example for Dryad:

I saw that it could be the size of the breasts (impossible for my dryad), a rules or a "restraints".

Where do you find these last two options? I wish she could go forage but I can't pick the option because she's crawling.
I'm sorry if the question has already been asked, I couldn't find anything in this long topic.

Thanks in advance !

WolfLynd6 years ago

Did you use handcuffs at anytime on her because if you use a handcuff even if you take it off the restrains still stays.

Dartanis6 years ago

If you used handcuffs on her as I recall there is a bug that makes the handcuff effect permanent, even if you remove the cuffs. I dont usually use them so I havent ran into this bug myself. I can tell from the picture that its not her brest size, nor anything else obvious like no energy or negative str. The only other thing I can think of is if she has the pet harness? If not then its the handcuff bug. Ill see if I can do some save editing magic to remove the effect if/when I can replicate it myself, but from what I remember there was no fix for this when it was being discussed here. Restoring an earlier save without handcuffs may be the only option. If you havent used handcuffs on them and this is some other random bug, a bit of save editing should do the trick to return them to normal.

PaarlSombrebete6 years ago

I used the handcuffs when they were in jail. I must have the bug. I'd know for the future now. Thanks for your answers terminusz and Dartanis ! :)

Dartanis6 years ago(+1)

Well, I managed to find a save editing solution to this problem after all.

Permanent crawling because of handcuffs fix with save editing:

Remove handcuffs ingame from the slave if they still have them, then save. Open the save in notepad++ or some other text editing software. Find the first name of the slave that has permanent crawling, search the next instance of "restrained": and replace "restrained":"cuffed" with "restrained":"none".

When I loaded the save, the game automaticaly detected that this slave should not be crawling and changed back to normal.

PaarlSombrebete6 years ago

I just tried your solution. It works perfectly. They can move, change occupations and the movement is switched to "Walking". I'm sincerely grateful to you, Dartanis :)

Rexdark6 years ago

You are a lifesaver! I tried to edit this bug before but I ended breaking the savegame. I was just trying to edit the movement type, never thought about the restrained thing. Than you so much!

Rexdark6 years ago (1 edit)

I think I found a bug in the farm. Not game breaking but a code mistake. While trying to fix a parse error (One that I did while playing with fire on the scripts trying to make a compatibility patch) I found something quite interesting. At mansion.gd:

At the else, I presume that chefhelped should be false (since chefmod should be 0). Idk if you have noticed it yet. Also, at gold generation (at the end) I added a 1/10 modifier since I think wining 1000 gold per milking slave was a bit too much. I dont know if it was intended or it was another bug but anyway I posted it here in case it helps you. Keep your great work!

Edit: Ignore the obvious parse error on milkproduced, that was the one I was looking for :D

Good catch/suggestion. I mean, it's nice of the chef to help even when they haven't helped.

The ChefHelped is really the framework for the eventual Dietary Update version (and a little fetish tie-in) but shouldn't matter too much atm.

The mod is really good and improves on the game's general experience, i was excited about the incest thing, but when i tested it (with both sister and daughter) i felt it still needs work around it.

Btw, for some reason, the default name that any of your daughters calls you is "Son", sure you can change that with no problems, just wanted to point it out.

Also, something that people already adressed here and i'd like to adress too, is the issue with breast increase and lactation post-pregnancy

As you can see in the image, its clearly broken, Lol

And also, no matter how long u wait, lactation simply wont stop, and i couldnt find a way to, and breasts sometimes wont reduce at all, i used potions to reduce them but they grew back on the next day, and i tried again and they stayed small.

Still didnt test the dark crystal yet tho...

In the end... Amazing mod! I'd really hope if you keep working on it and fix the bugs! Really excited to see the Jail interaction on possible later patches :)
