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

[slick97]

Nope. Updating it here means we don't have to go to Discord for it. Not everyone is on every website, you know?

That's your prerogative as to whether you put the effort into reading their commit history or checking their discord. Perhaps some kind soul here will provide a changelog for you to read, or you can try tagging Starbuck/Tristim to voice your displeasure.

MY DUDE F THANK YOU


the info was just NOWHERE
not on discord or whatever
i did it by trial and error and posted what i found was working (not that far off btw)


still although the flags are there somehow it still blocks her later if not done in a certain timeframe
witch is why i think a lot of people get stuck

I believe there's an ongoing effort by Starbuck to improve the hints and "Story Progress" screen to better direct players in what they should do next for any given plotline. In the meantime I'll try to provide answers as accurately as possible when I have the time.

So I got event with one random employee, something about her dad being a chemist and meeting him. I ignored it for a week or two and now I can't find any info how to meet him.

I don't suppose you know the triggers for ratting out your cousin to your aunt and also taking over the strip club? I've never been able to get those to trigger. Other events I've been able to get at least sometimes.

I think you have to go to the hub that leads to places like the barber and the arcade but I don't remember the exact conditions.

Tried a few times at different time of day but can't find event trigger.

...I want to say it's during the weekend afternoon period, but I've only had that quest trigger once.

I'll have to edit this post later with the code snippets...

This is one of the few events that doesn't have an explicit fail condition due to an oversight. If I remember correctly, all mall actions are reset at the end of each day, so any action that isn't re-added at the start of the next day are permanently gone unless you re-add it. The meeting with the dad is only set once, and there is no failsafe to allow you to go to the meeting the next day.

I'll have to test this, but you might be able to use the console to add the action back without any issues (once tested I'll provide the command here).

Thanks for the work on this. The mods are great, especially RPM. Given the challenges in updating the primary images, have y’all considered using RPM to tie story characters to specific models (ie, set of vids with Ava Addams or someone for Jennifer, Alexis Fawx for Becky, etc)?

I asked about it some time ago... I don't know if it can be done manually. Of course you must discover the strip club and the sex shop first. You must have 60k in the bank, apparently, and then there's a countdown (10-15 days) for the event to trigger. If it doesn't, you probably have to invest more in the sex shop and/or complete more Cara's events.

Note that I did all of the above and the event still doesn't trigger for me.

Thank you for taking time to relay your experience. Same with me in all regards!

How do you remove the prostitute job from a character? For example, for a character that was hired when she was a prostitute?

The easiest is to hire them, if possible. This was much easier when the sex shop ownership quest was working--it seems to be broken at the moment (at least for me a few others using the latest betas).

 

[Orieni01]

Yes, completed everything I see doable with Cara, Strip Club still not closing. This has always been buggy, as best I can tell, in half of the runs I've tried it hasn't happened at all.

Also, some of the characters will refuse to join the harem on the grounds that they need to like polyamory, despite liking polyamory already. That addition apparently also needs a little debugging.

I was going to play through until I figured I'd found whatever new content might be there, but I'm just going to give up for a while, until the next public beta.

 

[pinktoiletpaper]

In order to join your harem I think they must like polyamory and threesomes, and must not be in a relationship (I mean, they must be MC's girlfriends, not paramour).

Oh. Apparently the beta linked before has porn clips added in to match your actions. Can't say I approve. Need to figure out how to disable those.

Ah, it came with a real porn mod. Bye bye mod.

If you want to play Vanilla, download it only on the first page of this thread.
If you want to select the mods, just pick them up from discord or from the f95 mod section

 

[Urruah]

That was the only mod I minded. And isn't that an unreleased beta and therefore not on page one? I don't feel like getting on discord, so I just downloaded that version.
