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

[Rob_GoodKnight]

searched for pipe in my own installation and my own logfile says the same, but my game works. did you also run the stuff in the extra folder? followed the installation guide? I wonder if ppx needs those, while pp2 doesnt. also you probably can't just copy old mods over if you've tried that.

Thanks for the reply.
The weird part is that I always keep the dependency programs (like legacy directx, all visual c++ redist, dotnet runtime / sdk and so on) on my computers and pretty much all games from this site have always been "plug n' play" after extraction. So the installation guides for AA2 are redundant. AA2 with pp2 mods included.
I didn't try anything odd either, like adding in additional mod files, just extracted the PPeX v8 version and hit run, as it have worked with the pp2 version so far.

Just to be sure, I installed the exact versions in the extra folder, but still didn't yield better results. The launcher windows still hangs, freezes and must be force closed.
Granted I'm on my laptop now which is somewhat outdated, but not enough so that it couldn't run the pp2 AA2 version without significant problems (and without the need to install the exact versions from the extra folder I might add).
To test things out, I tried to move some ppx mods to a copy of my working AA2 directory, and as soon as I use even a single ppx mod file (being careful that there are no two same mods in pp2 and ppx), the launcher hangs as described.

Unfortunately I can't do tests on a different device for a while, so it's possible that the problem lies with my current machine somehow. When I can (which won't be for a long while), I'll give an update.
Until then, I guess I'll continue using the pp2 version unless someone has some good ideas.

Edit: typo

Messing around with the chara-editor and found that some original male characters have femdom sexual preference selected. Does this mean the guy is into femdom or the guy is a dominant person? In case if the translation is misleading, it is below penile play and above creampies preference in the traits tab.

In this game, "femdom" is just the cowgirl position set. You receive more compatibility when using this position, and even more if your partner favors it too.

Theres no pissing or farting on your face, stepping on your balls or any of that maso shit in this game.

so I dunno how quick pp2 boots, but ppx for me boots in 20 seconds and my desktop is fairly new. if you've given it like a full minute after clicking launch and still nothing then I don't know how to help, especially if you aren't running any mods yet and followed the installation guide. maybe go into the AAUnlimited folder and run the repatch.bat to set up where AA2 unlimited looks to find the AA2make/play?

i don't really use these sites so sorry if i'm breaking any rules here

but does anyone know why the editor refuses to zoom in on the character fully? like i try to zoom in on the face and it just stops at a thigh level view of the character.

any help would be appreciated! thank you!

I dont think mixing pp2 with ppx works dude.... did you already tried the long troubleshooting part in the guide? even the faq in the aau github?

Okay, seems like I was a bit too impatient with the game and my laptop.
On my laptop, AA2 (with only pp2) takes 13 seconds to get from clicking launch to the main menu.
The PPeX version takes roughly 40-41 seconds for the same and the overwhelming majority of the time is while the launcher seemingly hangs. Which is likely why I thought it froze completely in comparison as the window seemed to hang without feedback.
But I'm willing to put up with the extended launch. It is a ~9 year old laptop after all.
Thanks for the replies and the helpfulness.

The wiki definitely has been improved.

I noticed one of my card with a module that prevent following/sex until you beat them in a fight or in a sport exam. When exactly can I expect an exam? I'm at 20 days ig and nothing of the sort happened.

Exam happens

You must be registered to see the links

on Saturdays and second one is about sports.
You have to wait 8 more days.

Youre wading into module territory. Only a handful of people know what the fuck is up with them, and even fewer know how to help you.

So its been a lot of time since I last played this and I found a mega with mods and some say scenes, its a picture in png then again but with .scene, so what are those?? are they additional scenes for h and if so where do I put them, ok I think I found where they go but how do they work? I added a bunch of scenes but how do I trigger them or what am I supposed to do with them?

Just beat her ass.
It will take much less time and effort.

He need to talk to BudgetPro about that kind of shit, but he's nowhere to be found

There's no need to delve too deeply into that... in reality you only need to fucking read the.... oh yeah read, not something that is often done in these lands...

To be honest, I don't even see anything regarding beating someone at sports exam in "Get on my level" module.
There is a STR check on day 28 after exam, which must be higher than target's, and successful fights check.
In my case, even one successful fight was enough, and it can be done anytime.
Why would someone in their right mind wait 28 days...
Characters/cards with a module "Get on my level" must know their place immediately!
