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

[exidon_paradox]

No need per se, all files are downloadable separately from the git. Just might seem a bit more work, advantage is though you play exactly as you wish and even can add mods that are not part of auto download like grow-up mod. Even if do last beware there might be some conflicts.

exidon_paradox there was one uploaded to the main game thread on F95 earlier today by the guy who makes an all in one update of current deev branch and main supported mods. Might be worth waiting a bit though, Starbuck is working on new Nora and dates line and is being uploaded and play tested atm and some parts that did not work as she wished updated. When fully ready and merged with dev branch there will likely be a new AIO soonish after when all bugs squashed. Could be a few weeks from now or bit over month depending on time that Starbuck has for game, but should be soonish.

For anyone going into the Discord or git be aware there are three releases or states of game atm:
-AIO that is last stable release and will not work with latest updates of most mods;
-Dev branch that has all bug fixes and permanent changes since release AIO and will work with all Mods that are currently being worked on and updated by their creators like Elkrose;
-Nora branch that is the new content Starbuck is testing and has been working on that is not yet ready for the dev branch at this time.

What is the Grow Up Mod... Is there a link?

What is the Grow Up Mod... Is there a link?

It a great way to break the game at the moment. It makes your daughters start at age 18, so you can legally rape them without feeling like a pedo.


If there are mods that don't break the game I would include them in that All in One dev version I post.

dude, you are always running the game compiled. Renpy recompiles at runtime any files that have changed from the last time it was executed. All you are doing is moving files out of the renpy archive paks. I'm not really sure why, as you can just download the loose files from the gitlab.
The current code.

the buggier code from August you hold so dear

In my first post, in discussing the errors Ren'py tossed while recompiling the '.pry' files into '.rpyc' files, it is implicit Ren'Py seeks to run the compiled code, not the source code. Despite your opinion, we're not all idiots. The second post was to assure players that breaking out the individual compiled modules from the totally compiled game, would not impede game play.

What bugs from the August version do you refer to?

I fail to understand the tone of your posts. You seem to imply that those who do not follow your example are somehow 'lessor'. Not everyone wishes to do as you do, and they are entitled to their reasoning. They need not answer or explain that reasoning to you. Judging by recent posts, not everyone is overjoyed with the recent mods. I have offered those who wish to do so, a way to open up for inspection or modification, a version they may wish to stick with, without interacting extensively with GIT. What is your problem with that?

Is there a way to influence which personalities spawn in the sandbox? Some of the 'added' personalities from mods are way over the top (especially for the start of the game)

Is the only alternative for the sex scenes's visuals the real porn mod, or are there any other mods?

Seriously? You are wasting a lot of time when you could just clone the develop git repository, not pull the mods, then compile. These bugs;

Though it's your time to waste, have fun.

You can turn enable/disable most of them from the mod settings menus in your bedroom.

You really are snide. Learning is not a waste of time.

Honestly, nobody ever asked for Linux support. I just compiled a new build, here you go.

The latest developer build, as of 10 minutes ago, compiled with the current mods -> Virgin Tracker, Kaden, Kina, moresomes, Zenpak, and the RealPornMod; already integrated within, with Linux support.

This one has a weird bug where if you go on a dinner date, it locks you out of those altogether. Always says you have one planned and can't plan a new one for the next Friday

That's it.

Doing it the very hard way isn't learning efficaciously

I only see Alpha and Cougar in there, neither of those are a problem . I am talking about all the Characters that are overly thirsty: Pornstar, Tsundere, Kuudere, whatever-dere's. These throw themselves at MC from the time you click on start. I think its a rather poor fit and those personalities should be a re searchable option (like bimbo-mind-alteration) and not ' naturally' occuring.

There isn't a toggle option for the VT mod stuff,yet. It's being worked on.

 

[themagiman]

When is there going to be a mod that allows us to distribute serum through the city like the game center? I don't like having to manually secretly give the serum to each NPC one by one.

Or maybe a brainwashing mod that allows you to take in certain NPCs and you can brainwash them in your lab/dungeon until they have a new "drone" personality?

New content that helps move the game forward instead of making it go slower sounds exciting to me.

 

[DrLizardman]

I assume you cannot delete parts of VT right? its either the entire mod or none of it? Im trying to remove anything blatanlty OP while keeping the extra events and things.

 

[Elkrose]

Is there any way to turn off the "cheat serums" the VT mod puts in the game, the "ROS3..." ones? Is there a toggle to disable them? Failing that is there a command I can enter in the console to take them out of the game? Failing that, is there a way to remove the mod from the precompiled pack[*]?

They're disruptive to the early game. In particular, they really mess up the challenge of designing drugs for contracts, which is one of the core parts of the game loop.

[*] Huge Thanks for doing this by the way. Greatly appreciated.

that will be fixed in the next update VT 4.0

yups, give me a few days and I'll be releasing VT 4.0... It will bring quite a few things to the game. Including the ability to turn off the VT Hud, icons, etc and the OP Serums dialed down so they don't affect normal game play, however the serums themselves are still OP

thanks for reminding me to remove those from the next update. Those were originally set in to make sure the personalities got debugged faster.

I noticed a bug where once you go on a romantic dinner date, the option is then locked forever.

I have accumulated unspent points in some section. Is it possible to somehow transfer them to another section where I can successfully spend them on my own development, even with losses. I agree to get only 1 for 3 points - so be it. But at least somehow, instead of nothing.
