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

[sincity3000]

I'm playing an older version (Mod-v0.51.1.2), and I just noticed that if I've cut an employee's pay to 0 and then move them to a new division, they get their full salary back. Is that how it's supposed to work, and if not, has it been fixed in a newer version?

base game function. move_employee calls change_job function from Person.rpy which has line 3335

           self.salary = self.calculate_job_salary()

which resets the salary. "moving" in this context is like hiring a new employee

I've got March 8 update (I think) and I have an odd issue where my daily stats (energy, progress to my goals, things like current supply) aren't updating. I can talk to a woman when I have 0 energy, and again and again until I don't have enough energy to keep talking--but my energy was 0 the whole time. Things like that.
Any help?

You need to follow the instructions for updating they version of renpy. Those features won't work on the old version that the vanilla game comes on.

 

[gomesa]

There are instructions under the "installation" spoiler tag

Also don't be sorry
This question is so frequent there is an illustrated guide to it on the discord

THANK YOU .

If I commented out that line, do you think it would affect anything else?

So something i've kind of wondered. Are you the only one able to get girls pregnant in the game? Or can those with partners potentially get pregnant on their own?

Yes, they may be carrying other people's children

You need the renp'y update

if you just comment out, it will break all salary calculations. here's what I did, marked with > signs. basically added local variable that gets set right after first breakpoint to track if "self" is already employee. if so, then we don't calculate new salary. if not, we do, so it keeps the normal salary calculation for hiring brand new employee

        def change_job(self, new_job, job_known = True): #Start a new job, quitting your old one if nessesary
            if self.job and new_job == self.job: #Don't do anything if we already have this job.
                return
>            old_salary = False
>            if self.has_role(employee_role):
>                old_salary = True
            
            if self.job: # If we had a job before we should quit it. Should only come up on init (after that we're always Unemployed, which is still a Job)
                if self.job.quit_function:
                    self.job.quit_function(self)

                for a_role in self.job.job_roles: #Remove any job roles that aren't shared with the new job (we do this to maintain linkd roles which are still valid)
                    if not a_role in new_job.job_roles:
                        self.remove_role(a_role)

                for old_duty in self.duties:
                    if not old_duty in new_job.mandatory_duties + new_job.available_duties: #
                        self.remove_duty(old_duty) #Remove duties that aren't available in the new job


            if new_job.hire_function:
                new_job.hire_function(self)

            for a_role in new_job.job_roles:
                if not self.has_exact_role(a_role):
                    self.add_role(a_role)

            for new_duty in new_job.mandatory_duties:
                if new_duty not in self.duties:
                    self.add_duty(new_duty)

            self.limit_duties() # Make sure we don't have too many duties after changing our job.

                
            self.job = new_job
>            if not old_salary:
>                self.salary = self.calculate_job_salary()
            self.event_triggers_dict["job_known"] = job_known

Wasn't there charisma or inteligence check? You need to either train her (persuade or trance), give her an appropriate serum or outright cheat her stats.

is there any word on this mod continuing to expand the game since apparently vren is mia?

 

[Porrvald]

Yes, but from what I have previously read in the thread, the main modder(s) prefer to wait until Vren has been silent for 6 months, before they consider the game really abandoned and open for more extensive changes.

In the meantime you can see an insane amount of fixes (and some story content) ongoing here:

Okay, so here is what you need to do.:

doggy_anal.transitions.remove([doggy,"transition_doggy_dogy_anal"])
That is wrong.

Go into the "game\Mods\Position\Enhanced". There look for a file called enhance_position_tutorial.rpy
Open it with a texteditor. Notepad for example. I use Notepad++.

Almost at the very top in it there will be this exact line.
doggy_anal.transitions.remove([doggy,"transition_doggy_dogy_anal"])
You need to edit it into this:
doggy_anal.transitions.remove([doggy,"transition_doggy_anal_doggy"])

Save it. Done. Game works after that. And now that i've told you the instructions i may as well share the corrected file now can't i

I have tried that, and deleted .rpyc file, but still get same error, sadly

Share your enhance_position_tutorial.rpy please and the first part of the traceback.txt right after the game crashes.

OK, attached, chhers

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

Your file works with my version BUT there is a line that your file lacks, which to me tell we aren't using the same version of the mod. If you are using a different version there is a very likely possibility that these variables ran / or started running under a different name. My fix only work with March 8th variant (and probably older but not too much older.) So there is a range you have to stay within with the commits you are using.

Otherwise you will have to look up your version's correct variable names from the original files.
Edit: Has been fixed, my ignorance over the updated bugfix strikes back once again here.

i gave her a dose of natural talent, and she loves taking control. still no option to promote her..

Was the option given to look for a manager? You know, just because you know this will be the case the plot might not be there yet where this becomes possible Just asking.

Thanks for checking. I was trying development mods, I think that will be the issue. I revert back and things work fine.
