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

[ararrant]

By ingame names I know these:
list_of_traits.append(nora_reward_mother_trait)
list_of_traits.append(nora_reward_sister_trait)
list_of_traits.append(nora_reward_aunt_trait)
list_of_traits.append(nora_reward_cousin_trait)
list_of_traits.append(nora_reward_nora_trait)
list_of_traits.append(nora_reward_high_love_trait)
list_of_traits.append(nora_reward_low_love_trait)
list_of_traits.append(nora_reward_genius_trait)
list_of_traits.append(nora_reward_high_obedience_trait)
list_of_traits.append(nora_reward_high_slut_trait)
list_of_traits.append(nora_reward_hucow_trait)

There is also another trait in conjunction with a high suggestion value.

I would be thankful for a complete list, too ^.^

I am not sure my list below is totally up-to-date, but it should be close enough for you. (I don't recall where I copied it from, or I would give them their original credit they deserve.)

list_of_traits.append(nora_reward_hucow_trait
Is the enlargement of the breast caused by this serum permanent or only during the effective period of the serum

It's permanent, all bodily changes are permanent except lactation IIRC

It's been a month, figured I'd update this again....
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.

I feel like, in my previous game, I made a choice here and then later found out that it blocked me off of a story path because of it. If I choose "I'll take care of it," am I remembering correctly that there's more story than the other options, and I can still tell her to get bigger tits later?

Yes, choosing "I'll take care of it" is the best option here, and the bigger tits option becomes available again after talking to the boss.

1st: Thx to DarkLordNova for recommending and linking both the Extended Variable Viewer and the Universal Ren'Py Mod. Haven’t worked with the Extended Variable Viewer, so can’t say much about it, but the Universal Ren’Py Mod is a well-written program, for hacking in a running game. Though it lacks documentation, it has a lot of built-in help, and is superior to playing with the Ren’Py console. A minor caveat: A few days after installing v2.4.2, it wanted to update. The new version immediately tossed an error about ‘Ashley’ being an ‘undefined name’. I chose not to deal with it and reverted versions. That may have been reported and fixed since.

2nd: While I appreciate the advice of those pushing for moving to GIT, and Discord, latest mods, etc., I sought info pertinent and relevant to the rabbit hole I was going down, that is, working with the generally released, compiled 2024.8 version. So …

IF you wish to decompile the 2024.8 version, to hack, or just look around, here’s what worked for me: (I make no promises. If your hard drive runs away with your significant other, well … Sorry!)

You’ll need to download two files ‘un.rpyc’: [

] and ‘pylru.py’: [

‘un.rpyc’ – [

]

‘pylru.py’ – [

]

Download this package:


A zip manager like 7Zip can open the file (If using an older version of 7Zip, you should update, due to a recently discovered security vulnerability). You only need the single source code file ‘pylru.py’ in the package [

]

Steps:

Start with a clean installation of LabRats2-Reformulate-2024.08.
Place ‘un.rpyc’ inside the “GAME” folder of LR2.

Run the game ONCE, exiting immediately. It will take slightly longer (but not much) as it is decompiled.

Look at the LR2 installation. All the Ren’Py modules will have been decompiled into ‘*.rpy’ and ‘*.rpyc’ files, including new subdirectories. The ‘.rpy’ files are text source code, viewable in a standard text editor, and their respective ‘.rpyc’ compiled (binary) modules. (Notepad++ is excellent, I use it a lot. Easily found on the Net.)


If you try to run the game now, Ren’py will attempt to re-compile the source files, and report errors, almost all “Indentation mismatch”. This might be because of version differences between ‘un.rpyc’ and the Ren’py version used to compile the game.





If you know Ren’Py source coding, you can try fixing them yourself, but I’ve attached the fixed files to this post. Just overwrite the originals with these, making sure they wind up in the correct subdirectories.

If you try to run the game after these files are fixed, you’ll get one more error:

"from pylru import LRUCache
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pylru'"

This one had me scratching my head for awhile, with no sign of it in the LR2 installation, and no help from F95 members. Searching the net, found the link above, for ‘pylru.py’. It needs to be placed inside the LR2 “GAME” folder, but FIRST:

Ren’Py is apparently case-sensitive. There are 5 instances of “lrucache” in the original ‘pylru.py’ file. They MUST be changed to “LRUCache” in order to work.

Once this housework is done, the decompiled game should run normally. It might be wise to rename ‘scripts.rpa’ to ‘scripts_rpa.ORG’ or similar to avoid possible conflicts. Altering any ‘.rpy’ source file to mod the game, is totally at your risk. Any altered ‘.rpy’ source file SHOULD recompile on game run, but I make no guarantees. And yes, it is a complex game with lots of inter-related moving parts.

There are two attachments to this post; ‘Fixed_Files.zip’ (the ‘.rpy’ files fixed) and ‘Needed_ Files.zip’ (the decompiler and LRUCache file). If I missed anything in the needed files, let me know, I’ll supply them. If the authors of those GIT files object to me supplying them, let me know, I’ll delete them.

Good luck. Have fun!

P.S. Modifications may/may not show up in a saved game. I believe a LOT of original startup game stats are saved in saved games. For instance, altering a serum trait will show in a new game, but not a saved game.

Jup, as far as i remember "Take care of it" is the best choice, you can then during work hours visit her Boss (Downtown-->Vandenberg Ltd. Lobby; approach the secretary and aks for the boss), this is your second chance to meet Iris Vandenberg, the other daughter of the Vandenberg family (she has no story until now, but possibly in the future). Your mom will nevertheless ask you for boob sera later on, still fearing her boss will replace her.

Addendum to my post, above:

I am using an average 15 year old PC, with Win 7. (Don’t bother. I’ve heard it all before. I still use DOS programs.)

LR2 initially took seconds to start. My preferences are set to cache images, so the game takes about 10 seconds to load. Using ‘un.rpyc’ the FIRST time added a few seconds. I immediately removed it from the “GAME” folder, before running the decompiled game, as I didn’t want it to do any decompiling on subsequent starts. I notice no real difference in starting the decompiled vs. compiled game, and the game runs smoothly. If your startup seems sluggish, remove ‘un.rpyc’ from the “GAME” folder.

i cant load my save from the 2024.08 ver in the modded ver 2024.09

No doubt, if the game wasn't started with the mods, the save will not work as a number of variables the mods need to function don't exist in it...

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.

A while ago I downloaded a fully modded game with the latest updates. Does anyone have something more recent to link to? Also, any idea when they will release their next update here?

 

[Draakaap23]

Would be nice. Kinda annoying having Users required to set up GIT et al for wanting to try the Beta with all bells and whistles

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.

guys, do girls in semi-realistic pregnancy model still have "recharge period" like in realistic pregnancy? i am lost - i cannot knock mom and sis when they gives birth but still have lactation. or maybe i am overlooked something, been unattentive to some moment?

Yeah as long as they still are lactating and have bigger breasts from giving birth last time they can not get pregnant. As soon as you had the event where they tell their breasts became smaller again after giving birth they are fertile again.

Candi. the redhead bimbo from the restaurant on the Ophelia dating event.
she mentioned what she used to have good memory. does it means what we can un-bimboficy'ed her with right serum? who successed in that point? can she be debimbocyfyed at all?
