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

[TheVegnar]

Ngl, I've had a lot of issues with a lot of the newer scenes. The double date turns into complete word salad if you pick the invite home option. There's also all the dare scenes which have a serious "English is not my first language" feel to them.
[rant]
However, the triggers are driving me insane, I've had to go in and set up several scenes to never trigger just because they were too consistant. Getting searched by a female cop every day, racist couples twice daily and getting kidnapped by a BDSM fanatic just beacuse it's Sunday (don't get me started on that scene which is a weekly submission generator).

The NTR scenes seem to happen every single time I go on a date and because I went poly to have multiple wives and I get cucked on every date date despite having 100 dom (-100 masochist) and the physical attributes of Kratos.
[/rant]

I do love the game but the scenes in it have become a mess. I'd welcome a return to a lot more triggers and maybe a bit more randomness as well.

Rather than actually have all the stuff work together and flow. The content is based on a Patreon vote, so unless All the patreon decide lets get this shit working together, it isn't going to happen. Pretty good game. I like it, no paywalls. I will admit there is so much triggers happening you can't get just about anything without 50 of one time in a row

Vinfamy needs it better than paywalls and mods, suggestions to content happen once every blue moon. Modders only get what Vinfamy allows them to

Probably will never happen, tbh, I'd rather the vote happen less often so that what's implemented gets implemented properly and maybe use the time in between to implement some minor stuff that doesn't happen much.

Honestly, I don't bother anymore with checks for dominance scenes.
I just edit the order of the actors when the sex scene starts to assign giver/receiver.

Hum, if that's the scene when your SO invites you on a double date (and there are options they could cheat)... jeez, that scene is a total mess.

Actually you need those checks the double date scene is a good example of what happens when the checks are missing. As just editing to change the actors around won't work for every couple.
And the double date was the one I was specifically referring to when I mentioned the lack of gender checks.

 

[Hongfire Survivor]

The Browse Rape Website that might be the one you saw the actors are all messed up in that one.

Yup, that is another one.

If there are two rapist, the first one breaks, then the second scene both are there (usually)

I'm debating sitting down and going through scenes to fix them but eehhhh.

A question...

I've spent a lot of time working on NPCs based on actual celebrities. I rather enjoy it, actually. It's fun when they turn out well.
Am I allowed to post them here? Am I allowed to even mention which celebrities I've created?

The people from Virt-a-mate usually scramble the name, use well known references, or the name of a character the actor/actress has portrayed. If you say "wonder woman" we all know who you mean. You could do the same.

I understand what you mean, but I don't know the specifics.

With zero coding skills, what I do is just edit dialogs and change actors around to better fit the scenes if the don't work well. I can do minor code editing, but is just logic of looking at other files and compare.
Gender checks is something I don't have a clue what it really means -code meaning-

Yes please.

(As mentioned above, plausible deniability could be useful.)

A little help needed here...
So, I tried to repack my Vampire scene mod so it actually behaves like one instead of just dumping the interactions and scenes in one of the existing folders (like vinNonConsensual). All fine and dandy, the mod list shows my mod, can be switched on and off, so far so good.
Unfortunately the interaction options do now no longer appear in the context menu, the way I intended them to, even though all other module requirements are met (vinBDSM is on, etc)...
I'll attach the mod anyway, if someone could take a look and point out my error to me so I can royally facepalm and fix it, that would be appreciated.

Try changing the folder name to A_Vampires_Unlife and inside the lpmod change the module name to A_Vampires_Unlife.
And use the up/down arrow buttons you see in the game Mod Menu to load below Vin_NonConsensual.

Yep. That did it. Thanks a lot!

Yeah the module folder name and the module name in the lpmod should always be the same. And loading below all the requirements usually makes sure things get read by the game right.

 

[The Grifter]

Uploaded the mod to my original release post, which can be found here, for those interested.

Anyone so inclined, feel free to use and/or rewrite as you wish, I do NOT claim in any way ownership, copyright, fathership or anything else about this.

Is it possible to generate an NPC from a preset with the textures applied?

I've created a little mod with a scene that requires loading my custom characters, all the stats load correctly, including the texture path (SKIN Face_Texture), but they appear without it. What I am doing wrong?

I tried something similar - hm, how about the following:

Export a character with the textures you want, in this example we call the exported character Template.lpcharacter .
Use something like notepad++ and open Template.lpcharacter. Remove all parameters for textures you do not wish to be applied.

In the lpscene, use

Actor.blendPreset(Template)

The game will then overwrite the parameters of Actor with the ones from Template.

Actor can be Player, Actor, Actor1, ands so on.
File type is not needed, so leave out .lpcharacter

Thanks! It turns out, I had a typo when I moved the files from vin_Base to my own Module

Now I realized the issue is that the stats are not properly set, I thought they were but it was because I heavily modified the stats files to match my preferences. Not a problem as I tweak the characters as I generate them for use, but it would be nice to have that function.

Actor = generatePerson(PresetName)

That does the trick. We really need better documentation.

I talked to RaddecK! Nice guy though!

I'm not here to protect him but I think you're mixing things up my friends...
All he wanted was to not have dozens/hundreds of similar mods. He's not wrong about that! There are a lot of similar mods!

I asked him for some mods and he gave them to me, without paying. He told me that I could use these mods to make new ones or redistribute them because he doesn't see the point of continuing.

But out of the blue, he just wanted everyone else to send their work to him so he could do things better, as if he was the sole owner,...

His Remake, if I understand correctly, he wanted people to join his project and not to steal mods from others? He made it pay because people were copying his scenes. Is it his right?

Anyway, I think we have a different view...!

This is the reason I put the unlicense on my stuff: I look forward to seeing what you've done!

I think I'll pass!

Welcome back Raddeck, I feared you left for good.

Technically it's not his right. While he does own the labour required to make his mods he can't own his mods themselves because they're based off of intellectual property that he doesn't own.
Having said that I do appreciate what he's done for this community previously and I'm glad to hear that he's adopted a much more reasonable view on this topic. I'll be more than glad to not say anything bad about him, his work or his previous conduct if that's the case.
