Oh you mean the console command. Just to be clear I was talking about intimacy acts themselves and bodypart alignment tweaks to prevent clipping and prevent odd angles/aesthetics DURING intimacy.Is there any chance that this might change the way that >bodypart [npc] butt/chest works?
Because the way the game currently handles it, means that if you increase it past a certain point, the bodies look horribly disfigured, and it actually only enlarges the body parts along 1 axis.
As for the console command, well...that's mostly been a "for fun" tool and a proofing tool testing situations like Rachael's breast size increase during the Lety-Rachael easter egg or the increasing of the size of Pat's ejaculate in some of his Patty's Striking Resemblance content. It isn't an intelligent system; I did indeed program it to only retain believable "proportions" up to about 1.4-3x scaling (depending on the body part), and then just left in a max scaler of 10 for shits and giggles. 'Cause, I mean...Frank head x 10? You just gotta dood.
I would love to add an intelligent, full-body customization tool, but that would take a not-insignificant amount of time away from core content development and possibly create a need for even MORE work to be done, as intimacy events/anims impart their own alignment and scaling behaviors. These behaviors are simply not designed to handle varying body part or character sizes. That's actually the reason that we don't have a more varied range of "character sizes and shapes"; a technical limitation and timesink that's turned into deliberately forgoing a feature(s). It'd be very different if we weren't making a game where we HAD to ensure characters could move together...closely and intimately in varying positions for extended durations of time. ...Maybe we should've made a MOBA
All that being said, if I get some down time I can look into at least a quick bandaid fix to prevent certain..."key" body parts from scaling horribly at higher scaling values.
Hm, user created stories should not break from version-to-version if they are literally using only radial menu interactions, dialogues, and intimacy game events. Custom stories that relied only on those mechanics should not have broken since our last major revamp of the event system multiple updates ago. Can you provide an example of one that's recently broken?Also, would you consider a kind of "Harem mode" where you can get all the girls in 1 room and be able to easily select any sexual position you want and end it whenever you want?
I know you can do this with console commands, I've done it countless times. I also know of user-created stories that do things like that, but those usually break when new HP versions come out.
We are working on Custom Story Creator improvements and a custom story downloader + installer tool which will greatly improve QOL for those interested in making or using custom stories. Once we've made more progress in that initiative, it might be time for another round of CSC tutorials from me, and I'll probly do an extended "hands on" series that shows exactly how to make a simple story like this. And then, I might as well share it with everyone It would likely just remain a custom story, however. We like to keep our official stories at least somewhat narratively-focused.
