Others Completed Artificial Academy 2 [MiniPPX v8] [Illusion]

[SleepW4lker]

SleepW4lker If Add/Remove Programs section of your OS does not contain the game - yep, just delete the game folder. Current version is definitely portable and does not install anything; back in 2020 - I cannot say, I started playing the game in 2022 and am unaware of how things worked prior to that.

Small experiment you could try: if you are sure that your old version of the game is the PPX version and feel adventurous, you could try keeping that folder and simply updating

as per their instructions. That might actually be enough to get you up and running. Chances are, AAU is going to work just fine. The catch is, if you have any mods attached to that old version - they are extremely likely to be outdated (clothing ones - guaranteed). In other words, if you add no more custom content to the old version - it will probably work, but if you do start adding stuff - probably going to hiccup eventually.

Still, bear in mind that the above is more "try if you feel like it" than anything - at the end of the day, I would go with "start from scratch" either way, since I would be adding user-created character cards for sure.

Thanks for the help. I decided to install the new version from scratch. but I'm having trouble downloading The Harderlinker file. Because it is in mega and I can't download it, I tried using VNP but the limit still stops my download. Is there any other way to download it through another mediafire server, etc.?

Rather than trying to download the entire harderlinker folder all at once, you could try doing it in smaller batches as download limits permit

this is the mod i was talking about:

its on bottom made by futaboy

why using a mod so old if you have overrides AND A NEW UNCENSOR? thats why most of the builds used by f95 dudes tend to break, just follow the guides, the community made those for a reason you know?

Would you happen to know where this Faiz person "made/updated" their pack? "It exists" is of little help without knowing who/what/where it is.

Zadke Thanks a bunch.

Completely unrelated and a separate topic: is there a way to deal with the following problem?

What I have is

You must be registered to see the links

as a teacher, and a male student as PC with several modules and a few vanilla tweaks (e.g., different personality). When the teacher gets enough love points with PC, one of her lines reads "I love you. Does that not make you happy?". Here is the issue: regardless of which answer I pick (yes/no) the low-poly models play rejection animation (pushing away with their hand) and her JP dialogue goes along the lines of "your problem if you regret this later" (even though the text reads "....I am glad", so the subs for this are clearly borked); in other words, as far as the LLDH points are concerned the result is always a negative.

Is there any way to fix this problem, or at least pinpoint the source? For example: is it a game mechanics thing (e.g., "no teacher/student relationship" or "no lovers because high virtue and no date yet") or one of the cards is broken? If the latter - what IS broken, exactly? I am going to try pairing her with a 100% vanilla card, but if the issue reoccurs - where can I go from there? Aside from the "suck it up" and "delete the card" last resorts, naturally. Assuming my knowledge of modding AA2 is non-existent.

I've seen that dialogue before with the Empress personality. If I remember correctly, they ask you that when they're asking if you want to be a couple, and the "...I am glad" response is supposed to be when you reject them. I can test with one in my game and see if that interaction works correctly

Sounds like its the Empress personality. This one is fucked in terms of responses. As for this specific one ("I love you. Does that not make you happy?") is simply her asking to be lovers. Gotta spend some time to "read past" what is actually said with those new personalities to know them. Ive placed a bunch of new personalities and i have NO idea what theyre talking about most of the time.

Im afraid there are no fixes to these. Ive looked for something as simple as subs, but found none of the HEXA batch (that has a few without overworld subs). So yeah... "suck it up" sounds about right...


EDIT: Grim beat me to it lol

So I tested with

in my game, and for the no response to that question I got the "... I'm glad" with the pushing animation, but for the yes response where I agreed to be a couple I did not get that animation. The dialogue was also different. The way I interpret the "... I'm glad" is it's basically them try to act like your rejection doesn't bother them

 

[Tsugumi]

Grim Monosomething Thank you for chiming in.

As I mentioned, I did pair her with the vanilla Nihei Ryousuke card and found out exactly that: that it is actually an "Ask to be lovers" interaction, and the damn thing worked on the first try, so...is it really the Empress personality at fault here? Because, had I not seen your responses, I would have 100% assumed that my tweaked male PC card was at fault (since the Empress card worked fine with the vanilla male). I am going to go through the modules attached to the male to see if I missed something. By the way, said tweaked card:

Mate, you havent seen the worst of it yet, if you think Empress is bugged. Imagine... a chick coming up to you and going:

"I cannot agree to that"

YES NO

So? Whats your answer?

So I think your problem is actually with the Banchou module on that card. Interactions between members and non-members are less effective, and I'm not even sure that Banchou members will hook up with non-members

 

[Tsugumi]

Yeah, seems like I forgot to do my reading assignment: as I went through the modules on the male, I did spot the "Members of gangs will not enter relationships, or consent to sex with anyone who is not a member of their gang" part on the Banchou module. Removed the module on the card via Edit, imported AAU data via QtEdit back into the tweaked card, waited to get the interaction - voila, works fine. So it was indeed Banchou.

You are safe, Empress personality. This time.

 

[Monosomething]

You are safe, Empress personality. This time.

You know, this actually annoys me. These personalities have been ported from AA1 (according to some info ive read). If thats the case... then how are these personalities so utterly borked? Had AA1 not have the same interactions as this one does? Like, Rough works completely fine, and that was a AA1 personality, but Empress, which is also ported from AA1, doesnt? Someone somewhere dropped the ball on these ports. Thats the only explanation i can come up with. To make matters worse - people using modules that twist and turn responses makes the whole thing even more complicated, given that personalities are ported poorly. At times, you can just forget what is being said, since nothing makes sense.

Some of the C4 personalities ive downloaded? I simply praise some chick, and she churns out a fucking essay long monologue as a response. Im like "yeah, okay" *skips*
Then, some random chick comes up and goes "*something something* lets jet". Yeah, i get the last part, but the lead up might mean shes got the Wild trait, so i say no. I go into QtEdit after the day ends to see what she actually said, and she just asked me to follow her *facepalms*

That, though, was part of C4 personalities, and i have no idea where these were lifted from. Hell, some guy with a modded personality comes up and hurls the most elaborate insult ive seen in my life. Given how we both had "Dont know" status towards each other, it got me confused, but the actual meaning of his interaction was something about getting along with another NPC. Huuh?!

Me dumb, okay? Keep things simple!

Now that's a blast from the past. Judging by the file names, these packs look like they're meant to be used with the illusion Wizzard. Alas, at the end of the day they are still just compressed archives, so that shouldn't be an issue.

I tried downloading the assets from the webpage you linked but was unsuccessful (clicking on the files results in a failed file retrieval; has the file host deleted them?), so I can only guess here. But knowing Futaboy, the mod is probably a set of hard model replacements, similar to their Fleshy Dildo mod (which I still have, and have posted about in this thread before). If you're somehow able to retrieve the files, you should be able to deploy them by adding them as part of a sets folder that mimics the original game's relevant file structure.

Even if you manage to get this set up, though, you may want to temper your expectations. Old mods like this are often prone to bugs and demand very strict conditions to work correctly.

i did get the mod but i also try converting it into a pp2 file but i dont know what to do with?

 

[Khami514]

faiz made a mediafire zip with all the textures... iirc he update it last month (or at leats before maker may i think)

1. The dildo from Yuri h gameplay seems to be bugging between censored and uncensored depending which girl I play so I want to fix that
2. I want more sex positions from the straight sex positions so that's why I wanted some of males to be futa at least.

You're not using jmcp and the civ uncensor right?

I kinda have the same sex positions as a male in a FF scene the only i lack are the futa overrides but those dont affect the actual sex, they're just a mesh

Me dumb, okay? Keep things simple!

Walks up to you and asks "What do you think about <character>?" - Yes/No. Simple as can be.

Until you try being nice and helping foster a new friendship between the two just to get a jealous lover because it was not an "are those amazing/awful rumours about the person true?" or an "I want to get to know this person - could you help me out?", but rather an "are you cheating on me?".

Blessed be the Deaf trait. All hail "Huh?".

Not sure how effective the "Deaf" trait is. Would need to test it... lots. Regular "no" vs "what the fuck did you just say to m... oh, no, i dont like them, sorry".

Somebody got info on that? Rejections cost a fair bit of LLDH, but if Deaf actually lowers the penalty, then... might be yet another good trait! Heh.
