Ren'Py Lab Rats 2 - Reformulate [v2025.04]

[Draakaap23]

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 was tops. It works straight out of the box under Liunux. Xcept for the Realporn mod for some reason won't trigger. And I am still too much of a Ren' Py and Linux noob to figure out why. The files are there and the webp vids do play standalone.
If anyone has any idea or similar issues I would like to hear them.

Same issue here, real porn isn't working, on mac

Known issues: Throws an exception on Mac, no solution currently

I am not getting any errors under Linux and I haven't seen anything weird (to me) in the terminal when triggering scenes with characters.
edit: I just forced it playing through Lutris and now Realporn does trigger. Must be something in the way that RP was build not working with Linux distro's. Probably just focused on windows (understandable)

Is there a way to cancel a date in-game or through the console? I set a dinner date and it never occurred, and now I can't date anyone on a Friday.

damn, I need a step by step guide with pictures to understand what i'm downloading from github. I thought I downloaded the thing with all the mods, but i downloaded a zip with some stuff and another zip in it that had the actual game.

Are you using the first method with the batch file? Once you run it, you will download game files with a folder named 'LR2R-Runtime'. Unpack the contents into the same folder where the zip file is located, then run the batch file again. It will ask if you want to download the mods. Hope this helps.

With the way everything is currently set up you need to render a stupid amount of images (one for every pose, size, and possibly color). As more poses and sizes are added it is only getting worse. If you want to do the rendering then volunteer to do so. You could also work with the team to possibly find a new more efficient method to show randomly generated characters with (that is modifiable) and rebuild that part of the game from scratch.

Not color, but it is still a ridiculous amount of images for each individual piece even without that. It's one or two separate images for every pose in every weight, and if it's a top, then also every breast size.

If you want to do the rendering then volunteer to do so.

If someone wants to dip their toe in and begin to get a sense of how much work it would be to make new clothes, here's what I would recommend. Take an existing clothing item, and modify it in some simple way (for example, take the Cropped T-Shirt and make it a V-neck that shows some tit). You won't even have to render anything, just cut a triangle out of each of the existing images. I bet most people wouldn't even be able to get through that comparatively simple task before giving up out of boredom (and I include myself in that). Making entirely new pieces would require even more time and effort.

That on top of figuring out the code that puts the body/face/hair/clothing together. My respect to authors and modders.

I mean, wasn't someone trying to redo the graphics in DAZ or something? maybe give them a hand if you want more clothes. I'd like less robotic looking models tbh, also would be nice if the unique npcs had a unique face at least, bodies can be same if it saves work

Someone in the Discord has apparently finished rendering all the body images, and says they're about 65% done with the clothes. I have no idea if they'll be integrated into the official release if the clothes get finished.

Hi everyone,
First thanks for the great game: it's the one on F95 I play most.

I have a question:
I'm trying to see if i can add an arousal serum trait as a "mod", but it doesn't seem to work. Here's what I did:
-I'm playing the developer build with mods, posted by @ibnarabi, last Friday
-I made an "spanish_fly_serum.rpy" file with the code shown below
-I added that file to a subfolder called "MyMods" in the "mods" folder

When I load the game, it loads as usual, but the serum trait does not appear in the list of serums. (note: I have already reached the tier2 level of traits, and I try to add this trait as a tier2 trait)

What am I doing wrong?
Is it even possible to add serums this way?

any help would be appreciated
Notes: I didn't add an "on remove" function since arousals dissipate anyway over time.
I also see that many serums have an "add_to_log" in the values definition, which i don't have: is this needed?

rpy python annotations
init -1 python:




    def spanish_fly_function_on_apply(person, the_serum, add_to_log):
        the_person.arousal += 10
        return

    def spanish_fly_function_on_turn(person, the_serum, add_to_log):
        the_person.arousal += 10
        return

    def add_frisky_serum():
        spanish_fly_trait = SerumTraitMod(name = "Spanish Fly",
                desc = "Uses Exotic herbs and stimulants to induce high arousal in females.",
                positive_slug = "+10 Arousal/Turn, +$20 Value",
                negative_slug = "+80 Serum Research",
                research_added = 80,
                duration_added = 10,
                base_side_effect_chance = 0,
                on_apply = spanish_fly_function_on_apply,
                on_turn = spanish_fly_function_on_turn,
                tier = 2,
                start_researched =  False,
                research_needed = 800,
                clarity_cost = 750,
                mental_aspect = 0, physical_aspect = 3, sexual_aspect = 2, medical_aspect = 0, flaws_aspect = -1, attention = 0,
                start_enabled = False
            )


label serum_mod_frisky_serum_trait(stack):
    python:
        add_frisky_serum()
        execute_hijack_call(stack)
    return

If you really want to be absolutely sure about whether a mod is working or not, you should probably start a new game.

If you do that and it's still not there, I'm guessing it means there's another script where you have to add your serum so it knows to look for spanish_fly_serum.rpy in the first place. This is why I gave up trying to mod the game myself, because there are too many "dependencies" where changing something in one place can either break something else, or just not work because the information is being handled in multiple locations. This game is way more complex than the usual Renpy VN's that are like "change one line and you're good."

Wow, I'm so looking forward to it

I never get a notification that the strip club went under what am i doing wrong?

Have you fulfilled all the prerequisites? Even then it takes a week or 2 for the event to trigger iirc.

It's pretty broken but it has specific requirements and if you have not done them all it will not pop. I have done all the requirements on previous peoples posts still never once popped so GL

Is there a way to cancel a date in-game or through the console? I set a dinner date and it never occurred, and now I can't date anyone on a Friday.

The same thing happened to me on that latest compile done 2 days ago with all the mods. Is there any fix?
