Java Lilith's Throne [v0.4.11.3 Hotfix] [Innoxia]

[throbzombie]

I can fill the entire map with their progeny ... But I can't make them quit their jobs

What the actual fuck are you talking about? That is simply not true.

Third is just not being able to tell companions to quit their jobs and come fuck and pillage poor passersby with you. I can invite them to my character's house, I can fill the entire map with their progeny, I can transform them into whatever the fuck without any resistance... But I can't make them quit their jobs? "Whoops, it's eight o'clock! I gotta go to work!" I know she quit the companion system halfway through because her Discord choir were hounding her for more Nyan and centaur lady bullshit, but this was a problem even before 3.8.

Can't you tell them to quite their job already? Once they're employed, talk to them at home when they're not following you and not at work, there will be a button with red text that tells them to quit their current job. You can then set them to seek for 'none' job, which makes them become unemployed indefinitely.

I recently formatted my PC and I'm still getting a few things prepped. I do plan on playing Lilith's Throne again, some time in the future... eventually. I know it requires an outdated version of Java but I was just wondering if it's ok to stick with the newest, most stable version or if that's going to cause too many issues down the road. Or should I should just stick the .exe version?

I just installed the latest version and turned on auto-updates. This game isn't worth the security hole just because the developer isn't competent enough to keep up with Java patches. Yes, I am aware that they made the entire game dependent on outdated and replaced tech, and that would take *updating the game* to deal with. Can't have that.

I try both the jar and exe versions when I play (which I might do again, if v0.40 every comes out)

Generally, even with the wrong version of Java installed the jar is more stable and runs faster. By a significant amount at that.

I'm thinking about the future of the game if Inno keeps working at this rate. Which version will Inno start working only on the barebones of the canon story events, and let other modders flesh out the rest of the game for her? And when will she drop the game entirely, leaving its fate to others' hands, like what happened to Free Cities?

This game makes money, for some damn reason. So it'll never get dropped. The whole 'milk it forever while releasing barely anything' strategy is working perfectly, why change it?

I just installed the latest version and turned on auto-updates. This game isn't worth the security hole just because the developer isn't competent enough to keep up with Java patches.

Java 8 is still a supported release that receives security updates so there's no danger in using it. It's still the version that Oracle pushes on their front page, despite JRE 11 also being an LTS release (likely due to Oracle chopping the JRE into tiny fucking ribbons…). It's only really an issue for non-Windows users. On macOS Oracle only distributes it as a Safari plugin, and many Linux distros don't even offer the Oracle JRE 8 anymore.

The bigger issue in LT's case is that JRE 15+ drops support for Nashorn JS and that's impossible to easily work around. LT can easily be retargeted to JRE 14 without incident, but the loss of Nashorn is a bigger hurdle that requires some pretty significant refactoring to overcome as this affects the way the game parses all of its XMLs. This is what my SpEL branch hopes to address, though my implementation thus far is far from perfect (variable scope being the biggest issue at this time) and there's no way to really avoid having to rewrite the XMLs that use embedded JS.

Honestly, I can't really blame Inno for this issue at all. Compared to muh boi .NET, Java seems to be a pretty difficult target to keep up with. A lot of Oracle's changes are likely to trim the fat from the JRE, but they're doing it with the elegance and grace of a beached manatee. They went from Nashorn being the shiny, new, first-party supported JS target to it being deprecated in 4 years (which, I should point out, is over a year after LT started development) and completely gone in 6. That's insane.

Is there a way to ensure your child doesn't end up in the streets? Feels really dissapointing to find out that I can't raise my child to be a progeny party member. Also why is it that my child ends up on the streets instead of staying with me?

Nope.

Didn't realize there were mods outside of the loli/shota one. How many are there and can you by chance link them?

Link to loli mods?

You children leave because apparently in this world when children are born they grow up really fast and they have the instinctual desire to grow up and be independent so they leave the moment they're fully mature so there's no raising children.

You must be registered to see the links

. Honestly they don't add too much outside removing height and age limits.

Edit: I somehow didn't notice the huge list of options Keldon's mod added.

I was able to replicate this on my Mac. Turns out the Oracle JRE 8 installer only installs the browser plugin, so it will never be used when you try to launch it via Finder (or even through the command line without some finagling). Instead, it would try to use the OpenJDK 14 install that comes with macOS, which doesn't have JavaFX support built in (neither does your installed copy of JDK 12—Oracle removed JavaFX from JDK 11 in favor of OpenJFX, which is a separate SDK).

One approach I was able to use to get working was to use the Terminal to force it to launch using the JRE embedded in the browser plugin:

/Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home/bin/java -jar LilithsThrone_0_4.jar

It's definitely a bit unwieldy. :/ If you aren't comfortable with using a shell, I attached a script that will do this for you. Just unzip it and move it into the same directory as the JAR file. Running the script (you should be able to just run it from Finder) will launch the game using Oracle JRE 8.

Script works great so far, you're a godsend!

What the actual fuck are you talking about? That is simply not true.

As of 3.9, as far as I had been able to figure out, once they were living with you, if you keep straightening out their life, eventually they get a job. I don't remember if you could ask them to stop searching before they actually found employment. I do remember that if you added them into your party while they have a job, at eight every morning they disappear to go to work. The only way to stop this was to kick them out of the house after they came back from work and then invite them back again, or enslave them. You couldn't get them to quit their job otherwise. This might've been a bug I encountered, but it persisted through multiple playthroughs I had.

where to go in the "Bomb Break" quest?

 

[throbzombie]

...This might've been a bug I encountered, but it persisted through multiple playthroughs I had.

Well it must be a bug because you can tell them to quit their job and tell them to quit looking for one.

Аnyone know where to find a mod to increase the maximum level of character?

 

[tehlemon]

Аnyone know where to find a mod to increase the maximum level of character?

Nope. But you can basically do everything that being a higher level would do by just editing your save file.

Levels are pretty meaningless anyways, and its not like the game is balanced in any way. Just say fuck it and do what you want.

It feels quite off that they grow up really fast and away from your but when you meet them and offer them to live with you they act as if they've never seen you before and are freaked out by Lilayla's Mansion.

Like does the mother/Lilayla just chuck the baby out the window immediately after birth lmao . Really wished we could at least have them grow up in an empty guest room :/

Extra dumb because you know they were in the mansion with you as adults. You're literally shown a picture of your adult children in the mansion.

 

[throbzombie]

And that's just glossing over the mental/psychological implications of coming into the world almost fully developed. Apparently they have eighteen years' worth of empirical knowledge despite only having less than a day's worth of memories. And experiencing literally everything for the first time with a fully-developed brain has no adverse effects on their psyche whatsoever.

All the kids you personally carried do have slightly different dialogue indicating they remember the place. However, that doesn't extend to tracking whether a different mother lived with you at the time of birth.

 

[e-disfunction]

A few builds ago, when the game replaced clothing it replaced the 'state' of of the clothing as well. (i.e.: if jackets were unzipped before removal, they were unzipped after replacement; etc.)

Will this be reintroduced into the game or has it been removed permanently?
