Unreal Engine Abandoned LifePlay [v2023.04 Stable] [Vinfamy]

[feelotraveller]

First, make sure there's no empty space character after "SCENE_ALWAYS: Matchmaker"
Then, it shouldn't matter but maybe try MOVE_FIRST: true ?
If that doesn't work, post your lpscene on here

No there was no empty space after. Tried removing the space before, and setting MOVE_FIRST: true as well (it was originally that way but tried again to make sure). Here's the lpscene, not pretty but it works... at least from the console...

I have tried WHAT: none and WHAT: Matchmaker without any change of behaviour.

WHAT: all
WHERE: home
WHEN: 0 - 24
WHO: none
OTHER: !isWithCompanion

        Actor1.show(2)
        "<Actor1.name> could do with a partner."
        0:: "I think I know who to match them with"
        1:: "On second thoughts they can stay single"

[Vinfamy]

You're missing endWhile and the lines from setBackgroundCustom(Hallway) onwards needs to be indented further too for the While to work

 

[sdibolcrif]

i can add an esc > settings option to turn this off

That'd be great. Just seems odd to be using family nicknames in a relationship that goes way beyond simple family ties - especially since they're never used during "normal" family interactions, heh

 

[sdibolcrif]

Vinfamy Okay so I've identified (I think) all the scenes that should account for incest relationships but don't. Not as many as I thought the other day.
Tagging sexybastardo as well since they wanted to know too.

Shouldn't happen if related (!Dating.isExRelative):
dating_and_family
dating_family_dinner
introduce_dating_to_family
dating_past (you've known them most - maybe all - of your and/or their lives, their dating history probably isn't too mysterious)
family_possessive (the jealousy is still reasonable, but the wording doesn't make much sense in this context)

Should still be able to happen if related (def. not quite as straightforward to implement):
family_dinner (your family clearly hasn't cut ties with you, why is your new SO excluded?)
? (I could swear there was one other that fit here but I can't seem to find it)

Other family-related things:
1. It'd be nice if the marriage_proposal line

"Registering this marriage with the government is a no-goer - incest is illegal in this country so that would just send us straight to jail ... Still, we wanted to have a proper wedding, so we only invited guests who met us after we became a couple and had no idea we were related. The vow master also had no idea ..."

were changed to

"only invited a few particularly open-minded family and friends, as well as guests who met us after we became a couple and had no idea we were related"

because let's be real here, if you're doing an incestuous playthrough, odds are you're building tension with more than one (probably all, heh) of your family members. And everyone has at least a few characters in their contacts that're down with literally anything.
Like, hell, my other sister appears to be in a committed relationship with my dog, I don't think she'd be the type to judge

2. Holy shit are the odds of some of the incest module scenes absurdly low. For instance, going through the files I was wondering why I've literally never seen family_movie_sex_scene - turns out because it's a 1% chance. And that's even assuming it isn't superceded by another event.

3. I may not be super familiar with LP's methods, but I'm pretty sure religious_discussion_family shouldn't include Actor = generatePerson(). I get the feeling that's the line that's causing the scene to only ever include characters who are very much not my family nor even anyone I've ever met before

4. Should refer_a_relative include Actor.addColleague() like refer_a_friend does? Pretty sure I've recruited my mom 4 or 5 times now.

5. Speaking of refer_a_friend... is Actor = getPerson(true) correct? I don't think I've seen "true" as an argument in that method anywhere else

6. On the same theme: it'd be nice if there were a refer_dating equivalent to the above

 

[feelotraveller]

I made the identation change, not sure if it made any difference but certainly you are correct there. However adding Endwhile immediately above the final SceneEnd() practically loops the mod from that point back to the start, so even though I agree it should be there I can't understand why it works without it but goes wrong with it. No doubt it is something else I got tangled up. Perhaps you or someone else could take a look?

Neither of the changes allowed Matchmaker.lpaction to trigger Matchmaker.lpscene though and to me that is the big issue.

Find attached the rough mod as it is - no Endwhile but all outcomes as desired (haven't tested what happens without 2 available single contacts though...) It can be run from the console with "Matchmaker" but clicking the action in the menu just passes the 1-2 hour period at home.

I'd like to tidy it up a bit if the lpaction can be made to work but I'm out of ideas on that.

 

[xXx_Rae_xXx]

Did you take all NPC's with you when you moved. He listed as your uncle now or husband or BF. Go back and try listing him as your BF. This should restart the move in process all over. I did and it worked.

When GF didn't want an open relation ship I broke up with her. Then put her back as GF, try again and she accepted the relationship. Did you have a wedding with your uncle.

This much easier to do than going back and trying to find and earlier save sometimes.

Yes I took all NPCs with me (even though the hovertext over the check box claimed that all family would move with me by default?) We did have a wedding as well. But I did follow your suggestion; I reverted him back to BF and almost immediately he proposed again so we married for a second time. I wasn't certain it worked that time so for good measure I broke up with him in game then went on another date and again we married. This time it worked and he's back in the household (and enjoying that shower frequently *lol*) Thank you so much!

"Registering this marriage with the government is a no-goer - incest is illegal in this country so that would just send us straight to jail ... Still, we wanted to have a proper wedding, so we only invited guests who met us after we became a couple and had no idea we were related. The vow master also had no idea ..."

What I found more odd was despite the fact the wording suggested the incest wedding was illegal and hush-hush the vow master still referred to my uncle as Uncle and not by his name.

@feelotraveller
Will fix it in around 12 hours if its not sorted by then, currently busy. However a quick look and edit reformatted some choices there was no need to keep calling endscene. EndIf changed to Endif, ElseIf to Elseif. Added a space in lpaction.Checked and updated EOL. May work cant run it at the moment and have limited time.

No idea why your lpaction file didnt work. Just as a basic help I have rewritten your scene as I would do it. This isnt ment as an insult or put down, just to help! The more people modding this the better for us all. My fiile is based around yours, it still need tidying etc, but is fully working(including the lpaction file). I would sugest you restart it, basing it off a combination of mine and yours. And please do continue, this is an excallent scene idea, that I for one would want in my game. BTW just remove the V2 from my lpaction file(internal and external) and it will fire your scene.

@sexybastardo
Slaves now have a Var so:

slave = Actor.getActorVar(Slave)
if slave == 1 //Actor is a slave
if slave ==2 //Actor is a harem girl

anything else and it isnt a slave. Hope this helps, Obviously slaves shouldnt be accessing the midwife etc options, but no reason harem girls cant.

Thank you very much. For now I excluded both from doing random calls or requesting anything in Better Pregnancy.
I also included a fix for another problem in this update:

I noticed that also, but not only with incest scenes. Some scene have conditions that are ridiculous low.

You have to remember how often the scenes could be getting checked a 1% chance isnt low if the scene is potentialy getting checked every second. I made this mistake when dealing with nonconcentual stuff thinking the odds were very low I increased them, and the town turned into a total rape fest with stuff happening daily, the balance can be quite trickey.

Shawna Pumpme is a porn Start with a 30 rating. Porn movie I put 5. The Mod for porn movies came out later after she was made.

A real one? I added her in game, but if not I meant actual porn stars made as game characters.

 

[fast_freddy]

This isnt ment as an insult or put down, just to help!

I am also struggling a lot with my basic 'exhibisionism' mod Thus being able to compare the 2 versions of the lpscene file is very very helpful! Thanks to the both of you for sharing
So far I managed to write (well... mostly copy/paste large parts of others' works and write new dialogs...) a basic scene that seems to work. But when it comes to slightly more complex scenes, that's a complete different song...
I used to find vinfamy's and the modders' work very cool, but now I'm in complete admiration about how you guys did it

 

[Lostlegends]

Vinfamy and anyone else interested!
I have started a page in the mod section.
https://f95zone.to/threads/ll-game-mods-for-lifeplay.43387/
So that anyone who wants to can stay up to date easier. I will store all my mods there now, but will post updates within these pages as well. This will save vinfamy keep having to edit his posts every time I update, and as I am currently working on 3 mods at once this is becoming a little difficult to keep track of.

 

[Lostlegends]

@fast_freddy
If you need help on what anything does just yell, no guarantee I will help, but normaly I will try. (I'm a lazy, drunken old git, or so my mrs keeps telling me!)

 

[meh65]

More indepth NPC creation/relationship creation when?
Creating NPC families/social circles. Similar to how Sims works?

 

[Lostlegends]

Ok now for something a little different!
The Lifeplay Magic Mod.
The spellbook and start of the mod is under crime, because magic is a crime against nature. Well this magic will be.
Find the spellbook, level up your mana, learn new spells.
Ok currently there is only 2 spells, and this is little more than a cheat mod you have to work at. But by tomorrow there should be quite a few new and usefull spells.
Install: Unpack into the main Lifeplay folder, were the .exe is
Activate in the mods menu
As with all my mods now: get it here:

Thanks for your help! I'll take a look later today - other stuff to do, then a dentist appointment. I certainly won't be offended as part of the goal here for me is to learn to code a bit. I fully intend to finish this one but the credit for the idea should go to BeholdTheWizzard https://f95zone.to/threads/lifeplay-v2-15-vinfamy.11321/post-2839508

I'm thinking that the (non-coding) problems are due to unreal engine not properly supporting linux? But of course then I get mixed up if I have done anything wrong or not (good example is the lpaction file). When the scene doesn't run I start hacking away at potentially good code/syntax assuming that I have stuffed up rather than spending the time/energy dealing with the shortcomings of the code that are most definitely there.

More later when I have had a chance to go through things again.

 

[Lostlegends]

Vinfamy
Just something for your consideration.
Personaly I hate the way the whole sex system is timed, and the lack of any real control other than what and how fast an animation plays. I would think a much better system would be to scrap timing all together. Put in 2 excitement bars male/female and have an orgasm button, and a quit scene button. Letting plays choose between a quick shag and an all night romp!
Also wouldnt it be better for the bondage gear and clothing to have its own menu, rather than having to scroll through it too find an animation. Maybe left/right mouse button. Like I said just something to consider, as I know you have a lot to consider lol.
Also forgot to ask, Do you mind if I steal your background image for my mod page?

 

[MattShizzle]

Agreed. I was wondering if there was a way to disable the bondage stuff as it takes so much space.
