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

[davethewizard]

I am with others. Sometimes doing too much in terms of sophistication does nothing for gameplay but just adds to performance issues.

What does the zoom in and zoom out function add?

I mean, I understand the idea, as in you get to see the different actions taking place - as well as NPCs doing their idle stuff - and then scenes happen within that, compared to how at the moment actions are just a loading bar that you see filling up (regardless of what the action IS) unless a scene is triggered.

I'm just worried that it's going to be a h u g e jump in terms of work, both for Vinfamy to put together (there's everything from shopping, eating, studying, gambling...) and for peoples PCs to be able to handle - especially for those on weaker systems who can only just run lifeplay as it is.

if your PC can run a gangbang scene currently in the 3d bedroom, nothing coming in v3.0 will be much more performance intensive than that.
Animations have virtually no performance cost. AI calculations will be fine with multi-threading. The only thing that's performance taxing is rendering multiple characters (being Daz Genesis 8, they're quite high poly) on the screen at once, but the game is already doing that sometimes with gangbang scenes anyway.
Besides, there's Post Process Quality and Shadow Quality in Esc > Settings in tune down if you want to optimize performance.

Well, I was speaking from the perspective of it performance already being touch-and-go even with PP, shadows, internal res, etc all pushed down to the minimum (plus a few other tweaks I'm familiar with in UE4 games). That being said, if it's not likely to be any tougher than gangbang scenes, then it shouldn't be toooo much of a slideshow. Thanks for the quick reply though! I swear, most devs on this site aren't even as responsive even to their patrons as you are in this thread.

Why does this continue to trigger even after the variable is over 0? I created the .lpstat and the counter goes up after the event but then it happens again. Is there something I'm missing?

The game's editing language doesn't recognize tabs, < if > < end if > these must be preceded by spaces

Oh, they are. Its just how it copied to the post here.

I mostly mean the Other: trigger. How do I get it to only happen if a stat is 0 but not higher than 0.

What is wardenbitch?
If wardenbitch is just a local variable in your script, it's not going to get remembered after SceneEnd()
only stats, global variables and actor variables get saved after scenes finish
Maybe it's a stat? Then it needs a wardenbitch.lpstat file (i.e. when you Esc > Edit Stats, you should see it on the list). Also it should be OTHER: wardenbitch == 0
a single = is used to set, not to compare

Yep, it's a .lpstat i made!

And == was probably what I needed. Thanks! I am making a whole mod for the Prison I hope people enjoy.

Warden.setBoss() ? I suggest you refer to sugardaddy.lpscene be analogue to
WardenBoss = WardenBoss.getGlobal()
if WardenBoss > 0
WardenBoss = getSpecific(WardenBoss)
Else
Actor = generatePerson()
WardenBoss = Actor.getID()
WardenBoss.setGlobal(WardenBoss)

or check test.lpscene with Actor.setActorVar(tag_WardenBoss) or something like that and then use getPerson(tag_WardenBoss)
It's a newer and better method

Does anyone know which activities raise stats (attractiveness/int/etc) the fastest to unlock perks?

From my experience, grooming is the best way that uses 0 money. Else buying beauty treatments, but they can be expensive.

Your version check is rejecting anything greater than version 2.
I was able to use PornEmpire in saves where it was initiated before updating LifePlay, but not in new games.

Erm, what do you mean exactly? The version check of PE only fires when you select the option "Open porn busines".

 

[Tavern]

Right. That's why older save files that have already initiated an empire work fine.
Go ahead and start a new game and open a porn business and you will see.
I did a sloppy edit on this line: "If version_main >= 2 && version_sub < 18" and was able to get things started.

I'm sorry if this has been discussed, but it's telling me I need a password to unzip the file. What is/how do I get said password.

 

[darkangelswrath]

when making a new stat how do you make it 0 even on random characters created in-game? i have tried DEFAULT_VALUE: 0

I have had this problem myself, Mostly it does start at the 'DEFAULT_VALUE:' but for some reason it doesnt seem reliable so I always now set it when I generate characters.
