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

[Ravenger6660]

I think i figured out why i wasnt getting scenes and that was from me having the game run to fast. However the family npc still is deleted from my game afer purposing incest relationship and I dont know why that is.

How Vinfamy has it setup is that when your charater starts a relationship with a relative. The game creates an new npc as a clone of the relative and marks them as ex-relative. Then deletes the original one.

I forget the reason but it has something to do with how npc are pulled for scenes.
I might look back into later.

It was because he never intended incest in the game and that was the only way he could add it as a relationship.

The no word in nearly a year could mean he's no longer alive. He was very regular with updates, then there was a family thing - he thought the next would be out late last July, then nothing.

So in my testing today I have found that when it deleted in my game they were gone for good and there was no clone. However!... Interesting discovery is that only happens when you have added more than one family member. If you only have one family member and then proceed to ask for the insest relationship it works, they do not disapear and they now are labeled as girlfriend/mom for example. The couple stuff seems to work fine too. only when there are multipule family members added do the npcs vanish of the face of the earth.

Very odd... I looked at my incest_relationship.lpscene thing and I don't see anything that would cause an issue.

Maybe some hidden setting I'm missing.

A family matter!?! And we haven't heard from him for a year?
I don't know how old you dreamers are and what terrible things you've had to endure in your lives??? But if I read the speculations here, I've probably heard nothing yet!!!! Don't take offense, but anyone who doesn't know the word empathy should just shut up about this and for all those who have just been lucky in life so far:
There are simply moments in life when everything you've done or maybe even loved so far suddenly becomes completely unimportant and completely irrelevant. These are moments that you can't control or plan. I've personally already been through such a "family matter" and from one day to the next I behaved the same way as him in all my projects. MY moment was this: I picked up my mother from the hospital after an examination and she told me that the doctors only gave her one year to life. I'm grateful that she was wrong and it turned out to be 4 years. But at that time I didn't care about anything else.
I hope and wish that it's a harmless family matter for him. These are things that just take time. Please just give him the time.

And to appreciate this project of his and not let it die down, we could all work together to fix the errors in the game and develop it further in his interest. And there is definitely someone here who has a little more to do with him than just regularly asking what's wrong with him. If that person could keep him up to date with a PM at regular intervals, then he'd probably be more likely to find the strength, time or desire to devote himself to this project again.

Ahmen...

His account is logging to to look at red string fan art porn... so its not that bad of a family issue.

1. you don't know that, we all have to jack off from time to time hence why we're here.
2. you literally want Vinfamy to dedicate his life to your jacking off, which is a bit wierd.
3. the project is open source, and IMO could use some improvements or forks that make it more thrilling.
IMO, Vinfamy built a very nice foundation, but this thing needs some polishing and some vision.
I'd love to see GPT type AI worked into it, so that NPCs could have history, goals and desires that would run counter, could make this thing way more thrilling, as a Netorare fan, I'd train it on Literotica content, or ASSTR content to get some idea of all the scenarios, then boil that down into something fun.
Imagine being able to translate half the renpy content from any fetish here into the game, and having full on interactive visual stimuli.

Might be fun to fork it, and see what some new minds could add.

Dedicate his life? Hes not said so much as a peep in about a year, doesn't take much to say "Hey I'm going through some stuff not going to work on this anymore"
What I care about is logging in and not updating people, not closing patron, even on his discord mods have messaged as they are worried to no reply.

Tested a bit more, played through a new save again only using your mods and a few base mods.
Started with only one family member played a few hours, established incest relationship which worked. Showed correctly as mom/girlfriend. Was able to add addional family members to the world after relationship was established and all worked fine.
Loaded save right before asking for realtionship from mom. Added a sister and an aunt. Asked mom for relationship she gets deleted right there. Specfically once she says yes and the slide transitions to contine date or sex right there the game blinks and they disapear from the room typically all other npcs disapear too from the room if your at the bar or something. However only the one relitive npc you asked for that relationship with gets deleted. I can still hit the continue date or sex right there but the continue date leaves you just standing there as if the date finished with no say goodbye. The sex option leaves you in a scene with yourself and a blank tab over where the arousal data is where the second person widget is displayed during the scene.

Like I said it could be something is braking on my end but I have set this up three diffrent installs using no other mods and this result always happends. Hope this info can be helpful.

 

[PhazeUFO]

Apart from game breaking bugs sure.

Never stopped me from being able to play it.

Instances or not the game using exclusively the \\AppData\Local\LifePlay\Saved\ folder to store game state. So it is a shared folder for data (like character variables, stats, dependencies, map data, etc), and your instance's folders are for save your characters (as presets). I think there is a big chance to you can make a situation by this way (using 1 save for all) where the characters ids or they stored variables are not identical on the different playthrough and the datas being corrupted.
Regardless, the error could also be in the scripts.

What if he got murdered, the cops are going through his data, and one of the cops just uses his account to jack off to content?
The mods aren't aware and are worried, and there is a criminal investigation going on, however, his development of this game was a secret that he kept from everyone outside of the internet?

You can bet something is not good. He was making $500 a month and counting. How much would he be making now if he was till around. Why leave when you do that? No man, something is wrong. The reason people quit making games, not making money, he was.

Ok I deleted that entire folder. Reinstalled lifeplay again. Totally fresh no saves and no presets. Checked the modules off again, played the game, asked for incest relationship same result. they disapear from the game right there but only when there are more than one members in the family. Something in the game or mod is doing that.

I fixed the issue. I re-uploaded mod. There was some issue with the other relative thing I tried to add.

Yep i just tested you fixed it! Thank you.
Unrelated question and it has been happening randomy, my character strips naked when I save the game. I thought it was something in the settings for re dressing but its not. Is that normal?

 

[PuToUtO]

I'm still playing it too, but you can't really said it is a complete game when the preg system and relationship system are so mess up.

I have no clue if it is mod related or not....
It is a very small issue that sometimes come up.
