Ren'Py Lab Rats 2 - Reformulate [v2024.08] [Tristim/LZ_Starbuck/Trollden]

[slick97]

Right, but what's the point of that? Just longer duration?
Or I guess potential synergy with effects that give singular permanent increases (even though there's not many)

It's especially useful for traits which modify cosmetics (i.e. breast enhancement, weight loss, etc.), or fertility related traits in case you need extra time to impregnate someone. The way I primarily use it is for serums which modify traits, happiness, and other stats related to personality - especially since it becomes rather tedious to improve love/sluttiness once "small talk" and "flirt" stop increasing their values.

I'm experiencing two bugs currently. I fired Sarah as the HR manager in my playthrough and now I get an error when I try to promote someone to HR manager. I also get an error when I try to use the "modify a person" option in R&D to change a girl's breast size.

You should be getting an error log pointing to a specific file where this is occurring. My best bet as to which file it might be without the error log is "HR_supervisor_progress_scene_definition_ren.py" as this specific file has checks for sarah only instead of a generic "the_person" or "person".

I also get an error when I try to use the "modify a person" option in R&D to change a girl's breast size.

This one I'm struggling to reproduce since I haven't been able to trigger an error in my current save, nor was I able to find any errors in the code. This is another one that you'll need to post the error log for.

... especially since it becomes rather tedious to improve love/sluttiness once "small talk" and "flirt" stop increasing their values.

If you want to improve sluttiness fast, I suggest doing the earlier stages of sex in the same space as people with high sluttiness. the reverse is also true.

If you get it just right you can get two or more people to at least 3 1/2 hearts by doing nothing more than eating out one of them

I honestly hate grinding these stats with a passion, so I just added in my own serum which permanently maxes out love and lust stats in one dose. If it wasn't for people having different versions when they download from the GitGud page I'd upload my modified .py files for those who also enjoy cheesy tactics (like me lol).

 

[Natsu7Drag]

Hey, I noticed when checking these changes from yesterday what you introduce that in the clothing set jenifer with Leo, Leo cloth is above skirt and not the other way around

 

[Natsu7Drag]

And with bra I have such a problem with the creator that when I create it is white, it is white and then when I dress it for girls it is no longer white and in addition two-color even though it was supposed to be white

Here's a link to a post I made 2 pages back discussing how you can add your own traits. Alternatively, if you don't feel like coding on your own you can copy the code in the spoiler to your "_serum_traits_ren.py" file located here: ...\LabRats2-Reformulate-2023.07.11-pc\game\major_game_classes\serum_related\_serum_traits_ren.py.

Keep in mind that you'll need the extracted files by downloading the code from the "master" branch on the GitGud page (found

You can of course use any name you'd like for the trait, but make sure that you type the name of your trait in place of what I used (I thought I was funny). You may also wish to change the "research_needed" to something more appropriate (i.e. 200 instead of 1500) and decrease the "clarity_cost" from 1000 to anything less than 500.

Since these are unofficial/custom traits you don't need to worry about balancing too much

*Edit: Formatting

Adding onto the above, you can also create your own serum file if you dont want to edit the base files
Add a *.rpy file to ...\game\major_game_classes\serum_related\serums which contains your custom serum trait.

This is my cheaty daily dosage

Yes, she is... unless you give her the breeding fetish. She is not technically infertile,


erica.fertility_percent = -1000.0 #Erica refuses to get pregnant for MC, getting pregnant would cause her to be kicked from track team. Enabled with breeding fetish.

This guy has a good approach, and it gives me a chance to talk about the 3 methods in which serum traits are applied.

on_apply: The effects of the serum are only applied on the same turn the serum is given and only once.

on_turn: The effects are applied at the end of every turn. Keep in mind that this can cause issues if you don't use logic statements to prevent infinite stat growth.

on_day: The effects are only applied once at the end of the day. It seems the serum needs to last for at least 3 turns for this to work properly.

If you want a more balanced game approach then use the "on_turn" approach. Otherwise, use higher values for "on_apply" to avoid wasting serums.

So this is a product of poor information from Vren. Characters with the "infertile" tag have -1000 for their fertility score, which is essentially to prevent players from stacking serums with "human breeding hormones" and making the fertility score positive.

Erica is NOT actually infertile, but her inability to be impregnated is related to her storyline. Once you progress past the point of dating her you can start feeding her "reproductivity nanobots" in order to trigger the "breeding" fetish. This is the only way (outside of cheating) to restore her fertility score to a positive value (20).

Hi, I have coped and pasted this script, but get an error when trying to run the game.

"game/major_game_classes/serum_related/serums/Daily_booster_Therapy.rpy", line 8: is not terminated with a newline. (Check strings and parenthesis.)
cheat_daily = SerumTraitMod(name = "Daily booster Therapy",

Help please

You're forgetting a closed parentheses at the end of the second block of code.

Thanks, It has been many years since I have done any coding, brain is older now, lol, but now I get this:

The first error I believe happens because you fired Sarah instead of moving her from the role. Because you had "n" employees while Sarah was there, firing her means you have "n-1" wherein the game still thinks you have "n" and checks an index that doesn't exist anymore.

In short: the total list of employees doesn't seem to update if you're firing Sarah (this is my best guess).



The second error doesn't make any sense if you're able to modify other traits without issue. This could honestly just be an edge case type of situation, but this one has me completely stumped.



Out of curiosity, which version of the game do you have? Is it actually the June release? Or is it a beta beta version (i.e. an in-development release)?

I probably should've mentioned this as well, but make sure you indent the "def" argument by 4 spaces, and indent each of the arguments inside the function by another 4 spaces (do not use tab, Ren'Py throws a fit...).

You also need to indent the variable "cheat_daily" by 4 spaces, indent the list arguments by 12 spaces, and indent the closed parentheses by 8 spaces.


If you prefer (and have the patience), I can write an rpy script containing a few cheat serums that you can just drop into your folder rather than mucking around with Ren'Py. I'll include both the cheat serum and a couple of mine that should make grinding less tedious.
