Ren'Py Lab Rats 2 - Reformulate [v2025 4.0.37]

[slick97]

You can just download and modify the one file without getting the whole project from Git?

I'm quoting you but this applies to anyone who wants to download the source code from the git page. Every file mentioned can be found following this link:

You must be registered to see the links

1. Go to the Git page. You should see the source code for the "develop" branch
2. Click the dropdown tab and select "master"
3. Click on the "Code" tab
4. Select "zip" for the file format
5. Extract the file into the folder and open it
6. Look for the "LR2-Runtime.zip" file and "extract here"
   • Note: This zip file contains the executables and libraries for the game so you don't need to redownload or modify older versions
7. Repeat the above steps for downloading the "develop" branch except making sure you're looking at the "develop" branch instead of the "master"

You can technically edit any .py or .rpy file with Notepad, but Notepad++ contains the format for the Python language which will make editing way easier. Also keep in mind that you cannot use tab characters in .rpy files (i.e. pressing "tab" on your keyboard) as it will always result in an error on load.


Happy modding!

Thank you. Clear step-by-step instructions like that are very helpful.

Always happy to pass some knowledge on! This game alone took about a year for me to grasp somewhat competently to make personal edits, but I'm by no means versed enough to write mods like Elkrose or zenupstart.

Spoiler: bug code after Ellie (IT girl) comes into your office and you choose whether Squirting is hot or not

That also triggered another event, where she just walks into the office and starts sucking MC cock while still completely virgin and innocent.
I think the order of story-events (and triggers) got borked.

Do you have an HR director? That could be what's causing this specific error.

I can't recall if I had one at that time. I have made some random my HR director after letting Sarah go (this fucks with certain dialog on the screen btw) But i am not sure if I had already done that when Ellie's events triggered.

Sluttiness is handled a bit differently in the code compared to love and obedience (idk why). It can be referenced two ways, but only one of them can actually be changed in .rpy scripts (see spoiler 1).

The location that the error log points to is in the second spoiler, but the only reference is to the current HR director (which could be where the error comes from). According to PyTom regarding this specific error, it occurs when passing one thing when whatever the target is meant to be something else (i.e. you're expecting to get a banana but instead you get an apple).

As to how this can happen, I honestly have no idea. Someone way smarter than me could figure it out, but this might be worth posting to the bug report section on the discord for Tristim to fix.

The thing is, sluttiness is a computed attribute, or property of an object. If a class doesn't have a special setter that sets a value affecting sluttiness (I think it's the _sluttiness attribute), it's impossible to set it with the assign (attr=value) operator. As far as I remember, sluttiness is the sum of this variable (_sluttiness) and situational sluttiness, which is also calculated.

Is that gonna be a new serum design?

This is because Pyhton has no restriction of visibility for properties/fields of an object. All properties are "public" like in Javascript for example.
As a workaround, devs use a commonly accepted syntax to describe a property that should only be used inside of an object ("private"). Those "private" properties are beginning with one or two underscore. For those two reasons you can see the internal value using ._sluttiness

In our case, when you want to show a calculated value based on the inner value, you define a method to show what you want. This is why you also have access to this value using .sluttiness syntax. But you cannot modify it because it's a "getter" method and not a real property.

    @property
    def sluttiness(self) -> int:
        return max(min(self._sluttiness + sum(amount for (amount, _) in self.situational_sluttiness.values()), 100), 0)

This last one is taking account of situational sluttiness (like "I don't like cheating on my husbnad!" or "I'm so happy") and is minmaxed to 0-100

Is there a plan to add any rape/forced stuff, cause for a game that has drugs and police it's a bit tame.

 

[Silentheart42]

Lol, I wasn't talking about personal drama, I was talking about a transcript that gives a blow-by-blow of how complicated it actually is to mod this game. Apparently you don't even pass your own test on the "a bit of curiosity" criterion. Whatever you gotta do to feel superior to other people, I guess.

Clearly ibnarabi doesn't have a Functional Brain.

It happens when mom re-dresses. I think the robe is the culprit.

 

[chancebew]

how hard would it be to make a mod witha better version of high capacity?

 

[ZarakiZ]

How to disable the obedience bleed? I can't go 5 minutes without it dropping below 200, how do I keep it at 300.

You mean the high capacity serum?

If you're on the mod version of the game, pretty easy. Otherwise, no idea.

- don't use serums which decrease it
- have an HR employee the work duty that increases it
- when interacting sexually use those options that increase it for that girl/woman, this differs from personality.
- cheat
- make serums that increase it and spread it around (possible through Serum Policies)
- make em submissive, dominant ones bleed obedience fast(er)

do you mean the reformulated version or the mods from the discord?

you need to make them slaves in your dungeon, otherwise they will drop 1 obedience each day until 200, girl that likes or loves taking control even lower (not confirmed, but i think theres not a limit)
