QSP Evil 2 [v0.73] [community project]

[Neoptolemos]

I like your change very much but a few bugs or "time jumps" are happening.

example:
Nightclub - The time sets back when it gets 23 oclock

It appears a few other parts too but all in all it doesn´t bug ME Your change is MORE positive then NEGATIV and i got no crashes at all. Just finished Family Story on the college/boxer path

Weird. I just tried and can't seem to replicate it. At time 22:55 I did the dance action which takes 10 minutes and ended at 23:05 like it should be even after leaving the club and moving to other areas the time just ads up with the set minutes without strange behaviour. Also same when I do the dance act at 22:50, it ends at 23:00.

I also don't see any reason in the code why it should act like that.

gandalf15 did you by any chance made yourself "tester"?

 

[Gakko_dev]

I killed him in my last game... You just need a elite sniper hit-man with a sniper rifle, and 50.000$.

Back in the original game, when you killed Mabuta the nigerian band was hostile to you, but it doesn't seem to happen in the current version.

So yes, It's the best solution...

How do you find an elit sniper?

 

[Neoptolemos]

We are all tester, no?
I play with your changes since and know somewhere was the "time reset" at a few points in the game. I will write you when i found it.

I made some changes (some minor) too and test it now. But it seems to be working but not ready to put it here.

Yes and No

Yes we are all testers by playing the game. But I should have been more clear. One of the devs incorporated a piece of code to get some benefits when variable tester=1 is set.

This is important because the only places in the code I can see where time is manipulated with hour-= to get a set back in time are 2 occasions where one of the devs decided to go either -1 hour or -4 hour but only when tester=1 is true. The 3rd occasion is when you enable the cheats and can choose -1 hour to set back time 1 hour.

But if you can give me the exact situation when it happens i can look more into it.

Also sometimes when changes are made and you start a saved game then the changes only work properly at the next day after sleep. So if you can't reproduce the time jumps anymore that might be the reason.

How do you find an elit sniper?

The elite sniper is the highest level of shooting... if you train one of your gang members with army experience in shooting for a few weeks, he will end being an elite sniper.

Given time, I suppose than any gang member should be able to get this level of shooting, but with army veterans should be faster.

Is there any other story besides the family narrative? It's one of a kind good story and all, enjoyed it deeply, but I'm stuck in the daily sleep and earn loop now.
Maybe some war between crimelords? a constant battlefield for business takeover and whores, build weapon factory to arm your gang, bodyguards, and maids? f their wife/mom/sis/daughter if you invade their mansion? Some extra quest to keep going?

 

[Gizmoman]

Victor Volkogonov is the teacher which you had in your contacs since start of the game. He is an Sniper and in my Gang the Leader.

How do you get to talk with him btw? I've not managed to get any development with him as a male character (He was involved with girls and sissies in the old game)

 

[Gizmoman]

Idk. I just talked with him and got him into my gang.

Never been able to talk to him :/

 

[playa2]

Never been able to talk to him :/

you can't talk to him ,the only way to befriend him is to offer him drugs ,in my last game he accepted them and i got him in my gang ,in a new game he refuses them and shows me the middle finger ,a quick check with qgen shows that an npc with more than 70 dominance will refuse drugs .

And he got 100 dom, so it's literally impossible.

noobtrain made a mistake and added all of the tester cheats (which are hidden) to the 'dynamic $d_pimp_me' console cheat. He probably either intended for that cheat to be unpublished or he made a mistake in adding the tester cheats. So, several players out there are probably using tester cheats without knowing it. I did fix this bug (removed the tester cheats) from that console command in one of my hotfixes.

There are 5 random events in addition to the family story.

Those are all great suggestions but the last three developers have been chased off by this community.

 

[skybarbie]

I am confused. What is this "tester" cheat for?

It is for testing, developers only. Don't use it long term if at all.

Hi,
Just completed the Late game 'Family Trouble' and can I say its well worth it, Brilliant work. I really enjoyed that RPG style you have put into it. The pictures and video's of both girls help develop the story of your families corruption.
Tiny negative is the music that seems to play now, can't seem to swith it off and hear thier moans louder.
Are you thinking of other characters you could develop along the same lines?
I'd love the idea of 'Dominating the Dom' with a capture and control of Mistress Dominique. 1- for sexual gratification and 2-to have Slave breaker and 3 International slave selling market where you sell 'Targets' Age, hair colour, looks for a high amount!
Just thoughts, loving your work and excited to see where you take us next. Thank you!

To disable music: disable_music=1 (use the spectre1viper command injector)

If more players would have provided positive feedback like this, perhaps the dev wouldn't have left.

 

[playa2]

Can somebody tell me what i have to change so that i can marry more then 1? You can also pm me Thanks

probably remove (and marry[you]=0) from (if pol[you]=0 and gender[npc]=1 and pol[npc]>0 and marry[you]=0 and otn) in qgen .

The disable_music=1 did not work for me. Although thank you for the suggestion
What I found worked was to go into
Evil2/Evil/Sound and zip file all the music (don't delete) The videos with Mum and Sis play with sound but without the music.

 

[wei270]

ok so what is the stats of the npc need for them to become your courier after you talk to them in the club, i can't male npc to help me with my drug problem lol, do i need to talk to them more before they can ?is it a corruption thing or a relation thing?

If you use the QSP player which comes with the game (Quest Soft Player 5) you can simply change it in the settings/Sound volume menu or use a combination ALT-1 to ALT-5 where 1 is no sound

 

[mobiuscaine]

remove (and marry[you]=0) from (if pol[you]=0 and gender[npc]=1 and pol[npc]>0 and marry[you]=0 and otn) in qgen

call me a noob, but what does it actually mean?

Here is a fun little feature that was requested - skip day.

Copy the file to your 'Evil 2' folder (not the 'Evil' folder) - right-click on the file - 7-zip - Extract Here - Overwrite All - If you aren't asked to replace files then you didn't install it correctly.

A new icon will appear next to the time after you play for a bit. It saves a bunch of time from having to advance time manually and then refreshing the location manually and then finally clicking on Sleep.

This was built off of hotfix 3 so it includes all previous fixes.

@Aleyo - this will fix the bug that the developer fixed on release day.

My earlier posted minutes "mod" was still based on the hotfix 1 game file. I redid it now with the skip day game file from skybarbie which includes hotfix 1, 2 and 3. For installation just follow the instructions in the QUOTE.

The minute skips will be different than the last one I did simply because it takes to much time if I check everything what I did the last time before making the changes again. Without it takes already a couple of hours to do this. Also last time I used fixed time skips like 10 minutes for drinking beer or 15 minutes for talking. This time I used variable time skips. Like talking can be anithing between 5 and 10 minutes etc. For me it adds a little bit in realism

Besides the minutes I also changed how the Date, time, money and debt are shown. Like last time they all show under eachother.

Another change is a fine tune in the End of Day eurnings report. I included a few linespacings (<br> for people who have qgen experiance) in the text for camwhores and drugdealers which makes it easier to read in my opinion.

For skybarbie I would ask if you make any further changes / bugfixes to do this from the attached "Evil_2_-_0_59_skip_day + minutes mod" file. I know you sayd you are afraid the time changes are everywhere and because of that it might cause issues. But they are just time changes from hour+=xx to minut+=rand(xx,xx) which I have all double checked for typos. You can easily doublecheck it yourself as well doing a search all minut+=. If in any case there still might be a bug I'm fully prepared in solving it. That will cost me less time then doing this mod over and over again whenever there is a new version or bugfix.
I'm playing for a long time this game but from last jessicajones' version with the similar minutes changes and much more changes I made to test things for a project I'm planning and I won't say I'm an expert but because all things I did so far I can say I'm quite familiar with the coding used in Evil 2.

I still hope noobtrain continues on the great work he did so far on Evil 2 and also from him I would like to ask to use the minutes.
