I'm confused how this mod is for v 0.13.0 despite the newest version on the site being 0.12.1...? Is this for the Patreon backer version?

It's been tested on version 0.13.0 (patreon backer version), but uses the same basis as the cheat menu made by someone during 0.12.1 so should be compatible with all current and future versions as long as the variable naming doesn't change, and if it does then that is a quick fix that I can do or can be done yourselves.

On a side note, version 0.13.1 is out to the public now on Vren's patreon. (fixes the mismatched faces and overall new rendering system for the characters)

 

[zalamander]

Since i don't really know my way with renpy, but i know python and reverse eng:

To fix the faces, the cheat code has to modify the image database. The faces database is built in script.rpy lines 2334-2360.

the_person.expression_images.position_dict is an array that have the location of the images.
the_person.expression_images.positions_set have the set of positions of the character
the_person.expression_images.emotion_set have the set of emotions of the character
the_person.expression_images.special_modifiers have a set of special cases (kiss and BJ) for some reason the author handles them specifically.

the_person.expression_images.position_dict[position][emotion] has the location and image file corresponding to the face, and this is what has to be regenerated to change the face.

Hopefully somebody who knows its way with renpy can do it.

I was just about to say that I am finally giving up on this after two days, but after cross checking your information with what I got from Vren I finally got it to work.

To make the changes:

the_person.expression_images = Expression("name","skin","face_type")

e.g change to face type 1, orgasm expression and white skin:

the_person.expression_images = Expression("orgasm","white","Face_1")

followed up with:

the_person.draw_person(the_person)

and it works as intended.
Going to start implementing it right now and update soon, hopefully. Unless I get stuck somehow.

----------------------

Edit: Done. Note that faces will match the color of the character's skin tone, but the skin tone does not check for the color of the face. This is a feature and not me being too lazy to implement that.

Mod doesn't work for me. Won't bring up the cheat menu. Playing V0.13.1.

I got to confirm some questions I have before I can possibly fix that for you.

Are you playing on Windows / Mac or Linux?
What is your keyboard layout and language? e.g QWERTY - English
Have you pressed the correct hotkey? "z" case sensitive, caps-lock and shift will make it a "Z".
Are you using any other modifications to the game?
Have you tried starting a new game to see if that works?

I downloaded both version 0.13.1 of the game and version 2.1 of my mod and it works fine, so the issue is most likely on your end, but in what regards I do not know yet.

Windows, QWERTY, No other mods, started a new game to begin with, and I think the problem was caps-lock. Because I'm an idiot. Thank you for the response.

How do I download it?

Can you add name and fetishes editing options ?

 

[Trollden]

Can you add name and fetishes editing options ?

Working on it right now, trying to figure out how to update the names when on the map screen. In version 0.14.0 you can visit the character's home and although I have renamed their home location and name it remains the same on the map screen e.g rename character "Sarah" to "Hannah" and "Sarah's home" to "Hannah's home" it will still say that the home is "Sarah's" on the map.

This is also an issue for when you rename the business. (mc.business.name and b_name)

I'm also still redesigning the whole cheat menu into using actions and screens instead so it will be an overlay that can be used while doing other interactions.
(Reason for this is that the standard menu system gets way too cluttered when adding these additional options)


Edit: In unmodded version of the game "fetish" = sexy opinions, but in Starbucks mod Fetish correlates to a sex_skill of 5+ that adds a trait / characteristic in the form of a fetish e.g "Vaginal Fetish"
Question: For the fetish options I will most likely have a button for each fetish that you can cycle through Hate / Dislike / No Opinion / Like / Love and have it just be revealed automatically. Does that sound fine or should there be an option to have it be discovered / undiscovered?
Optionally I can also have it so you can input your own "custom" sexy_opinions e.g "spanking", but that wont have any gameplay effect unless the sexy_opinion you input is from a mod that provides changes.

Edit: Here is a preview of the space and layout of the cheat screen. You increase / decrease values with left click right click and toggle the overlay with Z. It doesn't look the best, but the functionality in my opinion is better.
Will be adding a "World" tab to change day, time of day etc.
Bottom bar will be filled with menus for character appearance, personality etc.


Edit: Will also be updating the current cheat menu system too so you can choose if you want overlay or to click through "dialogues" / menus

 

[Rozzenberg]

About your question, I would not particularly use the discovered / undiscovered option, but I find it interesting to be able to and other players might use it.
The mod is turning out great, nice job.

I have updated the thread with the progress I made towards it today.
Didn't get to spend too much time on figuring out a good way to change name and add / remove opinions that is consistent with how I have set up the rest of the code. Today's focus was mainly to structure the code and layout so I know how much space I have to work with etc.

Will get back on it tomorrow.

In case you want to manually edit the opinions of a character:

Talk with a character and then open the console with Shift+O and type: the_person.sexy_opinions["opinion name"] = [number between -2 and 2, True or False]

e.g

the_person.sexy_opinions["praising the sun"] = [2, True]

# or for normal opinions

the_person.opinions["eating vegetables that look like sonic"] = [-2, True]

Here are the list of opinions that are in the game

I like the new mod layout,however clicking to increase or decrease stats, not so much. If I'm gonna cheat, I will give myself an insane amount of money( like 1billion dollars) or 9999 stamina. Clicking that many times, well I'm not a fan. Could you include an option for manual number input?

 

[Thatguy]

Tried to use the experimental build with newest version and just errors everywhere when trying to access the cheat menu. I know that doesn't help with fixing them but when I hit ignore 20+ times before deciding to close the game I can tell it's probably a ways off. I suppose I can upload the log but was slightly modifying the txt to remove some info (user name and such) but that's gonna take time and I wish I knew a command to just replace specific text with something else as I was just using ctrl+f to and ctrl+v to replace the text that is there but that's gonna take awhile considering the amount of lines ( I don't know how to look see how many there are but it's a lot). on a side note you could jsut do the same. and receive a log yourself so me doing it seems irrelevant.

Try using notepad++, click search then find from the top menu, then use the replace tab. You can replace 1 thing or all items found in the document or all documents.

Noted.
I thought I had fixed it so it would only run into the error once.
I know exactly what is wrong, but unsure of a reliable fix.

What is currently happening is that whenever the "Other Characters" cheat menu is being called it attempts to set "the_person" to be "the_person" you are in an interaction with. When there is no person present it will throw the error that "the_person is not defined", which makes sense, but this also gets thrown when you exit a conversation and have the "Other Characters" screen open.

The behavior I believed it had before posting last night was that it would "save" who the last person you spoke to was and then refresh "the_person" whenever a new interaction happened.
I tested through multiple dialogues and only got the error upon the first time I opened the menu, so I'm not sure why it is no longer working that way, but I have been meaning to put up better fail safes anyway, so I'll get on that now as it's way more of a critical issue than what I thought it was.

I've been looking into manual inputs as with the previous version of the mod had, but I need some time to think when it comes to implementing it in a way that is consistent with the rest of the code.
It's a rather low priority as it is not a huge issue and I also don't necessarily know exactly how to do it.
I can't say I have much knowledge when it comes to coding.

Meanwhile, I acknowledge that there may be a lot of clicking so I have attempted to balance it for the sake of not completely ruining game play ( Still, people should be allowed to cheat however they like without too much hazzle ).

I will be re-balancing the amount of clicks necessary to achieve high numbers when it comes to money, the player's stats ( all of them ) and other character's non-sex skills (having high sex skills on other characters would be pointless as it makes the main character cum from being looked at and ends the sex scene).

You can easily change these values yourself (only two numbers need to be changed per button)

Here is what I suggest would be a decent improvement, although not ridiculous.

Money: $1 000 000 per click instead of $ 10 000
Stamina: 100 per click instead of 1
Arousal: Will stay at 10 per click as 100 is the maximum and it's nice to have control of it.

Player's main stats: 10 per click instead of 1. (You have like 100000 IQ with 10 Intelligence)
Player's work skills: 1000 per click (these stats don't break the gameplay)
Sex Skills: 5 per click instead of 1. (High numbers will make a character cum in one turn, but you can use the arousal control for that)


That being said, I will look into manual inputs as well, but rather for the purpose of changing names. Once I figure that out it is pretty much copy paste of the code.

 

[Thatguy]

There's another cheat mod that does manual inputs for stats and money and such that I normally use or someone modded your mod to allow them. Yours this time around was the first to be updated so tested it first and yeah, the errors were when I was alone. basically fresh save (as I do with every new version) and was aiming to boost my own stats at the start when the errors occurred.
