description.gd, line 714

gaping = '$his massive, [color=yellow]gaping[/color] [color=yellow]' + nameAsshole() + '[/color] that is so wide it looks like the side walls of his asshole make a red flower. ',

side walls of his asshole make a red flower

Should be $his

Also strange bugs with hairstyles

First, $his doesn't work in description


Second, hairstyle change is half-broken. When you click on hairstyle option it chooses previous one. So choosing straight hair makes character bald and it's impossible to choose bun.

Tried reinstalling everything and enabling only bugfix and this mod, nothing changes. In vanilla game everything is fine.

The hairstyle issues with Bald are a known issue. It was a feature added in by another teammate so I tried fixing it to the point of functionality so it’s not CTDing or throwing up errors but haven’t hammered out a better fix for what it was intended to do yet.

Also, why hairstyle descriptions is not in func features() like in vanilla, but in hairlength descriptions as [hairstyle] ?

And there is no hairstyle for shoulder lenght

And maybe I'm just unlucky, but it seems too many characters are generated with bald hair length

One more thing, when I use Deadly Blow battle hangs, no options for next party member and can't end turn


It appears that Deadly Blow is missing the effect field: "effect = null,". While I'm not entirely certain this is the cause, I am certain that if you were playing with the debug mod and used this ability then it would cause battle to soft-lock as the debug response to the missing field would be to abort the function and skip the part that manages the battle states.

I'm not sure how that would have happened either, but the fix has been added for the next version. Thanks for the catch and the fix respectively!

I don't know if it can be useful, but with the debug mod this is the error the appear in the debug console if I use Deadly Blow.

This definitely would have been helpful if it was the first report of the problem as it pinpoints the exact cause. However, this issue has been solved as I was able to figure it out by comparing the ability's data with other abilities.

Oh okay, sorry for begin late. I just returned on this game 2 days ago. I'll just wait for the fix. And thanks for your hard work.

Just some feedback what I seen so far.

Lizardman armor racial trait doesn't work, doesn't seem to be any data was it meant to be augment scale or new armor bonus altogether?

Beastkin squirrel racial trait doesn't work on the player, works fine with other party members - granted you can change base carry to 20 with constants time being.

Beastkin Bird is unable to have tattoos on their arms or legs not sure if intentionally or not - Arachna can't have tattoos on their legs as example.

-EDIT- Trait: Vigorous doesn't work and from what I seen the energy_mod stat doesn't seem to work at all.  Scratch that actual problem lies with character creation generator not properly running code effect half time, pretty noticeable when it doesn't apply any mental stats from strength or traits also may not register starting flying movement race correctly end up no attack and speed increase, still shows up that tool tip that unit is flying.

Will Mass Heal be properly design to work as attendant or am I missing something? so far you can only use it at mansion and only effects currant party members not any of captive in jails may have, not in open fields or in battle quite the let down and in abilities script its literary stuck in placeholder state - masshealcouncil I believe it was.


Ralphs tweaks .

The tentacle hybrid has - Error at getting description for skin:pink

Anomaly  I seen so far:
Its possible while rare for starting player character and slave after creation menu to gain additional +4 in any one random stat, like orc having +4 magic affinity for no reason, seen strength and endurance - only seen endurance on player so far.

Sometimes newly generated slave/npc for whatever reason, trait that normally give negativity stat may end up give positivity instead, been mention from previous post worth mention it happens in  Ralphs tweaks and both cases might actually be same cause.


Other thoughts and balancing matters...

Is there going be warrior based specialist for player character? Deadly blow can't be learn by the player and would give player edge with damage and speed boost matching their assassin and warrior slave counterparts - the closest thing player can choose is their starting race to be strength based beast/halfkin bird for dat 40% damage and speed mod.

Now that magic scaling weapon are thing, mind blast spell should have a 0 turn cool down - spells are strong as mage specialist player that is correct, aren't as non mage -  some weapon skills with hit not to far from non mage mind blast damage and a lot closer with cursed blade I don't mind spell-blade being thing but dedicated mage should always be casting.

That being said of mages are we getting fireball spell or at least mage slave will as it part of their profile description to burn things or any other offense spell in general currently only ever had two offense spells for longest time:  mind blast and acid spit.

Would it possible add variety of +7 damage weapons like bow, axe, lance etc like you see some race profile picture in gear section, the illusion of free choice they all do same thing and update Umbra's gacha trade system include new items.


Lastly how do get slime breeding/morphing to work was there something I need turn on? Can't seem find the selection for body morphing the , splitting part or do slime conversion with unborn child.

I don't know how it happened, but during the combat I can't select the target enemy, and the "end turn" button broke. I was spamming "1" to use the basic attack while selecting the enemy, so maybe this is the cause.

The debug console keep writing the same line again ad again.


On a side note, sometime when I minimize the game window the buttons broke in the same way. This happen in several zones, not only in combat.

Sorry if those are already know issues. I tried to search for them but I may have missed them.

Just to re clarify problem occur in both normal and debug mode, you will most likely run into the issue in large group of bandits where using 1 button ends up soft locking game, smaller number of enemies don't run risk of it occurring or significant less to happen and same script error code as the poster.

never happend to me even with 14+ bandit camp, are you using sure hit, or some skill like that btw wich can be obtain in the debug mod if i'm not mistaken ?

Nope, I use only aric's expansion mod, random portraits and the constants mod.  I just used the constants mod to change the stats. The problem trigger sometimes (not always) when I keep spamming "1" while also spamming left click to select the enemy. 

strange indeed

(2 edits)

Just the attack skill, only used constants mod and what it has to offer and the error code points to damage effect scales calculation, doesn't really say where or what group is.

Honestly could be something simple like loading problem with custom images that maybe bit too large size for what its use for,  just creating stress on game engine having to resize image and use said image in attack animation causing it to stagger when force to speed up which can end up skipping something leading back to problem.  Give that wild theory try later.

You may want to verify that you are looking at the correct file or lines of code. The error message points to this line:

if scene.targetskill.targetgroup == 'enemy' && scene.selectedcharacter.group == self.group:

This line has nothing to do with damage at all. It checks that you haven't selected one of your own party members as the target for a skill that targets the enemy. "group" shows up twice in this line, both being the string member variable of combatants that indicates which group they are apart of.

 I have not yet ruled out the possibility of a race condition due to rapid inputs, but it should not be the case that something was skipped due to poor performance.

(1 edit)

Oh yeah, thanks for pointing that out I pretty much went with first thing I saw on top the page with 'go to' line function search, still getting hang of coding  and it was literally in next code func below.

Anyways think you might be correct with rapid inputs, did some stress test with large images all that was achieved creating lag spikes no change in script flow, only when mashing button inputs you get the problem and a lot sooner in frenzy manner.

(1 edit)

Not certain that this is the only gap, but neither the key press event for skills nor the skill button press function checks the battle state before doing stuff. Adding the following couple of lines to the start of pressskill(), should cover this gap.

func pressskill(skill):
    if period != 'base' && period != 'skilltarget':
        return

Note that this site converts leading tabs to spaces, so you will need to convert them back to tabs.
This should mean that the window for pressing the 1 key after a mouse click was only about 1/30 of a second.

The code line worked, wasn't able to deliberately create any soft lock or seen any odd effects.

So yes it suitable to stop odd chance of the problem occurring.

I haven't been able to track this bug down yet, but all signs currently point to this bug not being the result of AricsExpansion as it does not alter the relevant code.

It's compatible with Improved random portraits?

Sorry if it's already asked/answered, but did a general search and besides a comment by aric asking for permission I found nothing

I believe that was explained in a prior version of the setup instructions, but is no longer included. There are very few mods capable of conflicting with the Improved Random Portraits mod, and those that do conflict will quickly correct themselves as it is considered an essential mod. Thus this mod does not conflict with the Improved Random Portraits mod. I recommend using this version(https://itch.io/t/984434/randomportraits-and-portrait-pack-editor-for-the-10-ver...) as it is more up to date.

When I sell a slave who is obedient in story mode I don't get any upgrade points. Did the system for getting them change? I haven't played for a bit.

No, it has not changed. Note, you will not get upgrade points for a slave that was bought from a slave guild. The guild will tell you in advance if you will get some and a rough reason why you will not.

There actually is a change/bug here - the text saying you will get upgrade points requires >= 80 obedience, but it requires >= 90 to actually give the upgrade points when selling.

Thanks that was it, the blue text said I'd get the upgrade points but it didn't happen so I didn't know what was up.

(1 edit)

Good catch, the value was 90 in older versions of Strive but was reduced for consistency with other parts of the game. Seems that it was partially reverted in the mod at some point.

Hello, guys!
I believe 'Milk Flow #' trait is added by this mod, is it?
Is there a way to remove this trait from a slave?
I thought it would only be present some time before/after pregnency and not forever.

The Milk Flow trait is added by this mod to alter the amount of milk produced by someone who is lactating, but the trait does not cause them to lactate so removing it will not change their lactation status. The vanilla game has forever lactation after pregnancy and this mod continues that by default, but there is an option in this mod to have it end eventually. You can change the option "lactationstops" using the Constants mods, or you can edit the mod file ".../customScripts/expansionsettings.gd" and change it from "false" to "true". In ".../customScripts/expansion.gd" the value "chancelactationstops" is set to 5, which means that there is initially a 5% chance per day and that increases by 1% for each day since they have last been milked.

Thank you, sir.
That is what I wanted.

Amazed this game has some good mods and that it is still being upgraded, just wanted to say thanks and good job!

Thanks mate!

Every time I try to finish the current day the game freezes and I got this from the debug

At least one of your slaves is missing the 'is_preg' field in the "preg" dictionary. This is a value is not present in vanilla and should be added by the mod to all slaves. The most likely causes are that you either started the progress or gained a slave in vanilla(compatibility with vanilla is lacking) or added another mod that is causing a conflict. The save file is plain text can be edited using an online JSON editor, though the data problems may extend to many slaves or other areas of the game.

The mods I have are the bugfix v6b, Aric's Expansion, Slave Spreadsheet, and Marriage and more Aric Version. I have them loaded in that order. I also just recently acquired Cali and Emily Hale from the base game.

None of those mods are likely to be a problem. Unique slaves are created on the base of a normal slave, so they are not anything of note. It's possible that your save file may have data that indicates if playing in vanilla was the problem, but otherwise it may not help in determining the cause.

I've been looking through the Json save editor like you said. I have two slaves showing they're pregnant in game, yet in the save file it does not say they are after "is_preg." It says false not true. I don't know if that has anything to do with it.

(1 edit)

Slaves impregnated in vanilla gameplay will have a baby ID in the "baby" field but will have "is_preg" still set to false. Slaves impregnated in this mod will have at least one baby ID in the "unborn_baby" field and the "is_preg" entry set to true. However, if the slave was added during vanilla gameplay but not expanded to have the addition data for the mod, then the "is_preg" entry will be missing, which is your primary problem.

I switched the false to true for "is_preg" and that fixed the problem thanks for the advice!

I've extracted the mods to the "mods" folder in %appdata%, but when I launch the game, I don't see an option to load the mods in

I'm assuming you found the Mods menu from the main menu and that you were not met with a long list of errors when the Mods menu was accessed. But if that were the case then you most likely have a permissions issue that prevents the program folder from creating new folders and files. This is solved by extracting the game to a location with open permissions, like the desktop, documents, or %appdata%.

The most likely user error is that you changed the path to the mods folder in game. In bottom right corner of the mods menu is a button for "Open Mod Folder" and to the right of it is a button that has your path to the mod folder. By default the path should be "user://mods/" (equivalent to "%appdata%/Strive/mods"), and while any folder will work it can confuse users that change it by accident. There is an arrow to ascend folders in the top left of the folder selection dialogue, and there is a difference in the selected path depending on if a folder is selected. If this is the case, then you will have a duplicate instance of the Constants mod at the current assigned location. The Constants mod should be visible in the list from the second start of the game and onwards, regardless of the path.

Another possibility is that you extracted the internal files of the mods into the "mods" folder directly rather than extracting them into a new folder with the same name as the archive. Mods are identified by the mod system using a combination of the location of the info.txt file, which indicates the root folder of a mod and the mod's root folder name. Though the mod system should have given you a bunch of junk mod names if this is the case.

The last possibility that comes to mind is that somehow the mods were placed inside another mod, as the mod system will probably only see the highest level mod.

If none of these are the case, then I will need more detailed information about the files and folders. Perhaps even a few screenshots(you may erase any personal information) using the Snipping Tool, which generally comes with Windows.

i remember a case of a bug i wanted to talk about from a long time

so before (can't remember when but at least several month, i was abble to give my mc magical tattoo, and his stat would increase according to those tattoo like my slave, but well since some build it doesnt work for my mc, it's still shown that my tatoo are here but not the sweet magical bonus, it work for all the slave i have try with also, if someone have an idea,

 i use constant also if it's revelant, and installed and have access to every new feature of this build 1.8 so i don't think i have messed up the instalation.

v1.8d is Released!

I'm having genealogy issues.

I have three girls from the same parents, but it lists them as half-siblings. Not only are they all full blood siblings, but two of them are twins. They have one half-sister, who doesn't live with them anymore.

Granted, the parents are siblings (shush), and impregnated eachother. So I guess you could make an ass-backwards argument that one of the three is a half-sister, since technically the mother and father are different, but that doesn't explain the twins.

I'm more than a little disheartened. I opened the relatives box and expected to see "twin sister," thinking "aww, we get to have Christmas with twins." Then I got sad. I'm not code-goblin enough to find out for sure if it's a base game issue, but reporting it to Maverik is almost certainly a waste of time anyway.

You don't need to have experience with the code to figure this out. I know it takes time but if you simply played the game without mods, then you would find that Strive 1.0d does not differentiate siblings from half-siblings; there is only one category for all siblings. Also vanilla Strive does not have multiple babies per birth so twins never happen. If it was a problem in vanilla Strive, then the Bugfix mod or the Strive Discord would be the proper places to report it (mostly to me).

The relation of the parents to each other is not relevant. Note that it is possible for twins to have different fathers if the mother has ever had sex with more than one person with a penis. There have been several bugs related to semen lasting potentially infinite amounts of time within the womb. Additionally, if the father left the mansion, never existed, or ceased to exist before the children were conceived, then the game would generate random temporary stand-ins to provide the necessary data to create the babies. Therefore I recommend verifying that the characters indeed list the same father in their relatives data. You may provide the save file for review/fixing either here(through a file download service) or on Discord.

I'm not aware of any attempt to track twins in the relatives data, which is most likely due to the significant increase in complexity required simply to attach a different name for sibling.

I also upgraded from 1.7 to 1.8d, in case that effects anything.

The reworked action in 1.8d was discovered to cause errors when there are no givers/takers due to an oversight in the design.

I believe there are individual images on the discords but I don’t believe there’s a compiled pack for them as of yet. 

After using the "Sexual Conversion Tonic" one of my characters now gives this error.

Sorry for the late reply, the game expects vagina to be "none", but the item sets it to be "". The same is true for penis and balls. The code for the item is found in items.gd.

Is it normal for npc to have virgin birth in the wild?

After I captured an npc from the wilds, I returned to the mansion and check her relatives. Apparently, she have a daughter but is still a virgin for some reason. Is this intended?

I'm using version is 1.8c and had some minor fixes that I wrote but does not affect npc spawning.

Thanks

The virgin birth portion is rather odd. NPCs are designed to have offspring in the wild, especially if they are fucked by the player or their allies and released from the mansion or let go post combat. However the remaining a virgin portion is interesting as I’m not aware of a way for npc pregnancy to trigger without having sex first.

I’ll look into the code, but you may want to start working on some solid doctrine for that virgin birthed daughter wandering the wild. Either it’s a bug or a miracle, better safe than sorry!

I think it has something to do with adding relation after group npc generation in the wilds. I'm pretty sure I have never met(fuck) them before, and I have never released anyone or let them escape. It wasn't a single occurance either, there is at least 2 npc in my mansion who has given virgin birth to multiple children (in the wilds).

Thanks for the reply. For now I will just edit my save to remove the mother-children relation.

Hey Hey I just wanted to ask if there are any watersports sex actions added via this mod and if so how to unlock them. I'm pretty new to this game and the mod in general so I got confused when I saw the pee related things in the fetish list when talking to slaves but having no options for it in the sex scenes but only on the farm a little bit

(+1)

There aren’t any watersports sex actions added, it was the actions via the farm and within a dialogue event. But that is a good idea to look into adding another sex action!

oh okay! yea I was just confused cuz you could ask the slaves how they feel about peeing on someone or being peed on but within the farm its just the extraction as far as I know. So yea having more sex actions with watersports would be cool to have I think and would make sense with the fetish questions. Maybe something like: "name" pee's on "name" or somehow in combination with face sitting "name" sits on "name" and forces them to drink their pee or something like that just a couple ideas :3
