Ren'Py Abandoned Lab Rats 2 [v0.51.1] [Vren]

[ParadigmShift]

I basically cheat because fuck the grind. I didn't mind the grind of 1 but if I'm gonna play a sim game, I'd like to play one that is a little better flushed out.

Just looked at the Dev's post on another forum and he said that this update will be the last to work on the mechanics of the game and future updates will start working more on character development with more unique NPC's and story. Obvious tweaks will occur but at least it's not the main focus of the game anymore. I did say that as long as what we've gotten was paving a foundation then I wouldn't mind as much and it's looking like that just what it is.

There's also storyboard from Vren that provides a rough idea of what content we can expect coming in the future (

), and he goes on to say improvements to visuals is a high priority.

from the v16.1 release:

...
Lastly, the release of the v0.16 update will mark the start of phase 2 of Lab Rats 2 development. Previous updates have been focused on the internal mechanical support for a number of different game mechanics: dynamic outfits, character personalities, goals, etc. Future updates will now focus on introducing new, unique characters and producing a detailed storyline to make use of all of these mechanics and tie the game together. Rendering improvements will also be taking top priority. Facial styles and emotions in particular are going to be reworked completely to achieve better results. New body types/models will also be worked on to widen the variety of base bodies in the game. Lab Rats 2 characters may have a different style than they did in Lab Rats 1, but I want to achieve the same level of quality with them.

Took a second look at the pathing.
It should be /game/Mods/Room/images/ (as defined in paths.rpy) and it should no longer be looking for a /mods/ folder as stated in the error message you got earlier since we changed the folder structure.
Try deleting your current Mods collection and download again from the git developer branch.
Hopefully that should solve it.
For the Crisis events go into the player's bedroom and check the MOD Actions in the "Do something..." menu. Check if for example the "Business" category is present and then disable / enable whatever you like.
If categories are missing ( due to whatever could be causing it, we got to look into that... ) you can:
A) Try saving the game and then load that save, save again and load.
If that doesn't solve it then the only sure way* (*at least always works for me) to make it work at the moment would be to
B) Restart the game and go directly into "New Game" and start a new save. For reasons unknown to me, even looking at the "Load Game" screen can (sometimes) cause it to not initialize properly.

Interesting...

So here's what i just did. I downloaded the developer branch and installed as-is into the game folder... got a missing image error right away when going to the gym at the mall. The developer branch appears to have all the folders on the root directory (instead of in a 'Mods' folder for which all the references would seem to work). So I created a Mods folder in the game folder and threw all the folders from the dev branch download into it (leaving the LR2_CheatMod_Trollden(v.3.4).rpy and PS_MOD_CORE.rpy in the game folder). Loaded up my save and going to the gym did not throw the missing image error anymore.

So with the shower problems I experienced before, I was using the master branch, as was recommended. But the bedroom "do something" menu didn't really offer me any options other than to initialize once the PC was present. Now with the dev branch, the "do something" menu has a bunch more options and I was able to verify the crisis events are set to True. I think the dev branch may be in good shape with the exception of the sub folders may need to go into a Mods folder instead of all being directly in the lr2-mods-develop or the root. The master branch at this point still has a lower case mods folder and a reference to Mods/mods/... in the rpy files for the custom images so it's probably unstable without code updates.

I'll play some more throughout the day and see if any other errors come up using the dev branch and having moved all the sub folders into a Mods folder under game.

I did a couple searches and didnt find anything. I seem to be stuck in the outfits manager screen. I cannot leave the three options of create, load and save. I can use any of the buttons on the ui along the left of the screen, but always just come back to outfit manage options. Am i missing something obvious, or am i bugged?

EDIT: fixed it by forcing an error, and ignoring it....

How do you do this or how do you stop this screen?

 

[boblicticious]

Haven't seen any errors related to missing background images, so that's good. Haven't run into a shower crisis event yet though.

I love the feature that lets you influence an opinion, is there going to be any plans to add a 'influence sexy opinions' option there as well?

Only difference between a sexy and non- sexy opinion is what list they are contained in and the theme you as player is supposed to associate it with. So it does in a sense already allow you to do that ( at least the support for it is already made ).

We are not quite sure how the design around it should be, but yes. There probably will be some sort of serum dedicated to each of the two lists ( and other thing related to opinions and personality ).
Easiest is to just make an action available that you can click, but since the game is pretty focused around "having fun with chemicals" it makes sense to try and incorporate features via serums one way or another.


Regarding the Shower Crisis, the time frame is very short so you only have a 10%~ ( either bit higher or lower ) chance each morning for it to trigger.
You can trigger it through the console by typing: call shower_crisis_action
If that throws an error, then it will give you the answer as of why it hasn't triggered.

Nice, call shower_crisis_action worked and I saw the scene, no errors either.

Yeah it took me a little while to notice that using the 'influence an opinion' to add/modify an existing sexy opinion wasn't working right. It would add that sexy opinion to the_person.opinions, and not do anything to its entry in the_person.sexy_opinions. And the character display screen will show anything that exists in the opinions array whether it actually has an corresponding effect or not (and none of the opinions that go in 'sexy_opinions' will actually do anything if they are on the 'opinions' array). So I had to do some manual work in the console to fix all the 'opinions' arrays for the ladies I tried to use the 'influence an opinion' feature to change/add a sexy opinion.

Had an error talking to the sister for the third time.

 

[Araren13]

Was interested in knowing that myself, to answer your question in detail:

Interact with a person and then open up the console ( I assume you know how ) and type the_person.sexy_opinions to see what their current opinions are.
You will get a response from the console looking something like this

the_person.sexy_opinions
{u'being fingered': [-2, False]}

This means that she has a hate for "being fingered" and that you currently haven't discovered it.
You want to set False to True to have the opinion be discovered and -2 to 2 for turning the hate into love.

False = Opinion Undiscovered
True = Opinion Discovered

-2 = Hate
-1 = Dislike
0 = Nothing so don't use this
1 = like
2 = love

With this information we can now change the sexy_opinions and opinions of a person however we like following this format:

Change a persons sexy_opinions:

the_person.sexy_opinions = {"opinion name":[-2 to 2, True / False],"opinion name":[-2 to 2, True / False]}

e.g make the person love getting covered in cum but also secretly hates risking getting pregnant:

the_person.sexy_opinions = {"being covered in cum":[2, True], "risking getting pregnant:[-2, False]"}

If you want to change someones general opinions you do the same thing but use the_person.opinions instead of sexy_opinions

Thanks for the info, wanted to know if there's a way to simply add or remove certain opinions without having to rewrite the whole list?

@ParadigmShift Basically from what I get out of the flowchart is that the events of 1 never happened and therefore are irrelevant.

 

[RedHairedBombshell]

Does anyone have any cute outfits? I am struggling with creating them!

 

[JuanSinTierra]

I'm sorry but isn't sex act supposed to be some kind of mini-game? I mean, why it's sounding like something bad?

On the first game it wasn´t, there were scenes that you unlocked by playing the game and taking the correct choice regarding the corruption of the character at the time, and using the serum on different situations. On this one it´s a minigame where you have to pick a sex position or stripping the character, to try and get the girl to orgasm faster than MC in order to increase corruption. I have nothing against interactivity during sex, by itself that´s a positive, but it should just change the scene, turning it into a minigame that you have to grind through to increase characters corruption ruins it in my opinion.

Here's my crunched version.

Image/audio/video quality is reduced to make shit smaller. This is not a perfect process and sometimes can break a game. You've been warned so no bitching.

I am not sure where i can report bugs but here is a screenshot of a bug




Bug :
- Under dislikes, there are 2 similar dislikes: "convservative outfits" and "conservative outfits".
Obviously one is a spelling error. Making it a duplicate.


I would upload a fix for it but dont have an editing tool installed yet.
The screen capture is from the original game. Not the crunched version.

Yes there is, I wasn't aware of it back then but you can simply do this as well:

the_person.opinions["insert opinion name here"] = [2, True]

# shortest way to "remove" opinions you can do would be to put the value to [0, False]

go into game/random_lists.rpy and then to line 437 change "list_of_titles.appnd("Cock Slave")" to list_of_titles.append("Cock Slave") to fix it

I did some research on your error since this is a new one for me, and this is the best I could find.

You must be registered to see the links

Long story short: this doesnt appear to be a bug with the game, per say. Appears to be more a deeper problem with your system/computer. Can you give us more info? How much available space is there on your HD? Memory? Try clearing the system temp files/clearing up some space.

If you google your specific error "Errno 28 no space left on disk" there seems to be a number of different situations with this particular error.

Side note: very suprised to see someone still running windows XP at this point. Not that im complaining, everything after XP just has been...disappointing. Then again, I still prefer a good old fashioned win3.1/dos interface. I remember learning basic on an old Commadore 64...(god I'm old!...)
...I think that commadore still runs...I should fire it up...miss me some Zac McKracken
