WOW thank you VERY VERY MUCH! "Random" stuff really really sucks when it doesn't make sense. In reality, most things/people R very biased----pure "Random" anything is quite rare.
Even true in Chemistry, physics, gravity....

Games aren't fun unless the path forward (2 progress) is fairly obvious.

Vren clearly prefers the work of moders over improving his work and reputation.

So it seems like so far, this mod is only doing code cleanup. Not to be ungrateful, that's a super important thing and I'm very thankful for it! Just curious though, are there plans to implement any other things such as cheats and event frequency controls?

Have you contacted Twistty to add a link to this mod in LR2 Main thread?

If you mean things like raising clarity and energy up. Not really.
If I do add more cheats it will be through game mechanics
It will be after I clean up a good bit more code.
The way the code is currently written in a lot of areas makes it hard to expand and make use of to a full extent.
Take serums for example. You have to do a good bit of work to add simply a new trait.
Also it is poorly tied to the character class. So adding a trait in that has a new effect can be even a good bit more work.

Say for example if I wanted to create a serum that made the player feel hot mentally so that they would strip their clothing.
Or what if I wanted want to give her the urge to scratch an itch uncontrollably that itch causing her to masturbate.
Or maybe she has the urge to suddenly milk herself were ever she is.

The character class isn't that well designed to deal with it even if you fixed the serum class.
Maybe, you want her have effects like feeling embarrassed, humiliated after doing it in public.

To be honest Renpy isn't something I'm good with. I learned python not that long ago. My forte is C/C++.
I can tell you how I would do it with C/C++ game engine or even the one I ported to python using SDL2.
So I have a bit of a learning curve. I spent about 20 minutes trying the renpy development system by itself. In that time it frustrated me so much I went and ported c++ game engine to pygame found that was still to slow so then ported it using SDL.

I also have my own projects I am working on to earn a living.

Totally get you, man. Thanks for what you've done already, and anything more you happen to do in the future!

Sure did sent him a message yesterday.

Got an error when attempting to hire new employee. Report is in spoiler. When I turned OFF "Recruitment Sex Skill Improvement", the error stopped popping up. I'm not sure if that's your mod or base, but I thought I'd report it here first.

You can download that file and install it separately or you can download the mod and just install over it.
You should be able to just restart and keep playing.

Does it go in the game folder? If so, I got this:

Hey, Just installed and tried to run the mod, and I seem to be having an error with generating all of the prebuilt characters. Here is the Traceback:

I was unable to identify where the missing 'NoneType' definition is located or compare the modded file to the original. Not sure if I am doing something incorrectly, but I tried reinstalling several times, and it works prior to overwrite of your files, and doesn't after overwrite.

I still have some more bugs to resolve but I did find that problem there are others though.

Thanks for feed back.
Sorry, about that. Should be fixed now.
The issue was that the list for sex skills wasn't being updated. Because he put the stuff in 3 files. So when I removed it from the original files it wasn't being passed along. He also changed the name 3 times.
Yesterday, I placed the generation in the create_random_person() function. But I forgot to remove the array name change at the end. So it just passed the old array through without the change.No idea why he didn't just use sex_array through the entire thing or why he duplicated code so much. Its a process cleaning that crap up.

Is this compatible with the other Lab Rats 2 mod?

No.

 

[Edwarf]

I'm trying this mod with no errors for now.

Managed to adjust main NPCs to my likings via console, but base game UI sucks as its difficult to read sometimes.

Very good job Diconica.

Does this mod remove/change anything about the long-lost friend story arc? the one that begins with the friend being a door-to-door solar panel salesperson? I've already had alexia join the staff, and the aunt/cousin come and go through the house, and it hasn't triggered yet.

What you are talking about is part of the other mod.
You can find it here. https://f95zone.to/threads/lab-rats-2-mods.32881/
The two mods are not compatible with one another.
They also don't serve the same purpose. That mod is more based around cheat systems.
This mod is more based around quality of life improvements and fixing bad choices on the programmers part.

 

[dnulho]

Thanks for the fix/update Diconica.
I will absolutely agree with you on the "bad code sucks to interact with", at a user, a coder/writer, and a modder level.
