Mod Abandoned LL Game mods for Lifeplay

[Lostlegends]

one thing... Are their plans to include the Tennants into the contact list?

It's already in there due to requests, but the menu is buggy. Go into 'PC/Landlord:Options' then 'Options'
The second option in the menu will appear as '0' because I fucked up, press it and you will get more options from there.
Will be fixed in next update.

 

[Lostlegends]

Landlord V1_03 should be out tonight around midnight (MyTime) or about 8 hours after this post.
Assuming there are no massive bugs that is!
It's now a complete mess at around 5000 lines long.
Not so much spaghetti code, more like trying to read genetic code
But hey it's working lol.

 

[Lostlegends]

Ok Sorry it may not be tonight, had to deal with someone trying to hack my phone account.
Not in a great mood for scene writing atm, but will try and see how it goes.

Anyway here is what we have comming in the 1_03 release.
You can now choose between building single and twin apartments(Two tenants in a room)
Obviously this has required a LOT of changed code.
The building portion and generation of tenant pairs is all done.
The only parts left are the viewing apartment scene ,spy camera viewing and visiting twin apartments.
Looks about 50/50 for release tonight, if not then this time tomorrow.

 

[The Grifter]

Lostlegends, will 1.03 be usable for saves with 1.02b active? Or would you recommend a clean new game anyway?

 

[Lostlegends]

I would allways recommend a clean restart at the moment, however I have coded it so hopefully it will work in 1_02b
Uploading now!

 

[Lostlegends]

Landlord 1_03 ready for download
PLEASE READ:
This is not quite complete and WILL contain bugs, I will leave 1_02b for download as well.
I havent been in the mood for writing for the past 2 days, so the 'Show tenants around apartment' is a placeholder until I can be botherd.
During the build phase you can now choose to build single or double apartments. Most features are in place, but this has got so complex now I will need help finding bugs! when Advertising an apartment, you now choose which apartment you want to advertise. Gas and spycam currently works for twin apartments, but visiting does not.
But everything is playable (I think).
Whats next:
Bug fixing as they are reported.
Currently working on setting individual rents levels for each apartment, as well as default rent levels.(about half way through atm)
Contract signing. This will track how long each tenant has lived in the apartment. Untill they have been there for 6 months, you cannot change the rent or evict the tenant(Without cause), although I will implament a non legel way of eviction.
The twin apartment will be the last Big feature to be put in, after all this is stable and working as I want, I will move to random scripts, and stat changing.

Bug report
1. choosing double bed, single, or Exit result in double room.
2. installing gas, says install cameras, just a typo
3. set to easy build does a negative value then returns max time to complete.
4. exiting the building quality results in "500 days till complete!"

 

[Lostlegends]

Will look at 1.
2. I had actual seen this and thought I had changed them all, cut and paste error lol
3. It's a menu and update bug, will fix. If you exit scene and check it will have the right time
4. will look at this.
Thanks

Something I observed the past two days, but I'm not really sure if it is at all related to your mod mechanics.
It appears that my tenants never sleep at all, and that they are always in the same room when I observe them with the cameras.

 

[Lostlegends]

Sleeping isnt something I can control I have asked and was told around Lifepllay 3.1 that the function to control npc's was going to be added. At present all I can do is spawn an npc in a room and make sex scenes, as appose to pre 3 where I could pose, make shower, make sleep etc.
This is why I have stated Lifeplay 3+ is a massive negative for mods currently.
If however the ability to pose, animate and control npc's properly does come, modding will be great again.
I will ask here and on discord again, but I'm not getting any answers currently.
As for always in the same room, I did have code in for single rooms, however I think I may have forgot to update it for twins, will look into this and update.

 

[Lostlegends]

Just a quick update.
Unfortunatly I no longer see any point in modding Lifeplay.
Although I enjoyed both playing and modding the game, it has now become very stale for me. I havent played it in over 4 months, and to be honest since V3+ I no longer feel that modding is supported.
Therefore I have decided to go back to working on my own project which is two thirds finnished anyway, pluss modding the other games that are more flexible.
I have enjoyed the majority of the modding of Lifeplay, and the people. But I feel like im banging my head against a brick wall trying to get something remotely fun now.
I will leave this stuff up, and I will still be around.
But unless something drastic changes, I cant see me wanting to mod this again.

I'm sorry to see you take this step, but I can understand your reason for doing so.
Thank you for all the effort you placed into your mods for the game up to now! And all the best to you regarding your other projects!

I'm sorry to hear this too , But, I understand your frustrations, trying to Mod this game in it's current state , (maybe at a later date)
I've also have noticed a lot of the other mod-creators, haven't returned to 'fix' their mods either, which are broken partly, or completely, so your not alone in your frustrations.

* " go back to working on my own project which is two thirds finished anyway " * May I ask which project this is ?

(was wondering, if it might be the "Zombie-survival" one, you were working on previously ?, if so, where might one(including me), be able to keep abreast of your progress of the project, ?)

If, it's not that project, I'd still like to know what the project is.
Either way, I'd be interested in your works/projects progress, and when you need play-testers, to check how things are working, I'm sure I'm not the only one available to help.(if , no-pressure intended)

 

[Lostlegends]

May I ask which project this is ?

Unfortunatly I cant go into details, but it isnt Lifeplay related and isnt even porn. I have been making games for some 40 years now. Some more successful than others but it payed for my house and kept us going. I gave up this last project just over a year ago, when the stress literaly almosy killed me. But I am in a better place now, and far more relaxed.
The game should go public around Feb next year, after that I can say more.
I will say that I think it's the best project I ever worked on. In gameplay terms It's mostly similar to Dungeon keeper, well it isnt but if you like that you would probabily like this, same sort of style.
On another note, I have always enjoyed working on porn style stuff. So will probabily look again mid next year, If Lifeplay is any good by then I may try some more, but to be honest there is way too much of the basic gameplay I feel has been pushed to the side, Clothing, basic stat managment, town and building stuff, etc.
If not, then I will probabily just show these people how to make a real porn game lol.

Hmmmm... you aren't by chance one of the last members from the Golden Age Team from Bi0ware...?
Just kidding, some of what you wrote fit those requirements, won't go into details what gave me the thought...
Just take care, stay relaxed, and do your thing the way you want to do it.
(whiny voice) Even if I won't be able to sleep-gas my tenants. (/whiny voice)
Shut up whiny me.
All the best, hope to see you around here in other threas!

 

[Lostlegends]

Bi0ware...?

Lol, no pre bioware and wrong country, Did have a few friends a long time ago, one of which had the stupid idea about starting a software house based around yak's aparently (Stupid idea). Think he ended up working as a dropout hippie farmer

Hi. First, thanks for the good job even if you did stop it.

2 questions :
- After getting the book, will we get new spells in the library or only more mana?
- I don't see the chemistry mod, how can we use chemistry?

I agree with you that the gameplay is terrible but for now I have not other game with NPC diversity so I re-test Lifeplay ^^

Both the chemistry and magic mod where stopped so they could be combined into one larger mod. Unfortunatly mostly due to Lifeplay changing direction, it became obvious that there was no longer time for the Dev to develop mod support. I will post details of something that may interest you and and anyone else who finds it, in a moment.

 

[Lostlegends]

So for those who care, I have a small bit of news.
Lifeplay was a brilliant idea, and to be fair it is well made, and well supported in some directions. However I personaly don't see it as a game anymore, but rather a random scene generator.
For that reason, I have started to develop my own game engine. However it will not be any sort of competition for Lifeplay, it will be going in a VERY different direction.
A few base details:
Player
Detailed RPG survival style stat system,Fully tracked and developed 'Needs' system.Eat/Sleep/Health/Money will be essential.
NPC'S
Npc's will not just have sex with someone because they drop there pants! They will be quite complex individuals with there own personalities(Sort of!)
Basicily each npc will belong to a subculture (Think hipster/goth etc) dependant on age etc, and they will have a level of interest in this subculture 1-100. This level of interest will reflect in there dress,conversation and what they like to talk about.
Interaction with NPC's will be based around a basic 'AIML' system that reflects the npc's tastes. To put it simply, you will be able to actualy talk(Type) to them and get responses.

You: Hi what's your name?
NPC: you can call me Sarah.
You: So Sarah, what music do you like?
Sarah:Oh I just love the Cure, what about you?

ETC,ETC. There will however be configurable and catagorized short cut buttons, because sometimes typing can be boring lol.
Location
The play area, is currently the part I am working on. The town will be random generated and based on a weighted block system, this means areas will be seperated to a degree by class/money. Some area's will be more run down and sort will be more well off.
Example below:

Spoiler

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

There will be special blocks for things like shopping areas, workplaces etc. Architecture will be based around english buildings to start with, because its what i know!.
Sex System
This will be based similar to 'Evil 2' plus 'strive4power' but with graphics.
Graphics
This will be the biggist issue to start with, I already have a custom made 3D body system, fully morphable. However this is going to require something special and that will require time to make. So to start with whilst getting the game to a point of release, I will be using a 'paper doll' system similar to 'HH+' or 'FreeCities', But with posed models.
Anyway the most important part is getting the gameplay and basic systems in place, sex will not be added untill that is done, and there will be no public release untill I get there. However I will be opening it to testers soon, if anyone is interested just PM me.
Thats enough for now as this is a Lifeplay mod page lol. Will post elsewhere when it's more developed.

Lostlegends :

I liked what I read, and what I saw, the "housing units" looked very nice, with sharp graphics/details.

I will be looking for your next posting, and you can/could, put the link to it here, cause this is your thread, after-all .

I can't, (but will try to), wait for more information . It's just so exciting, the anticipation is high .

I'm not familiar with "Evil 2", but I remember vaguely "Strive 4 Power", played it for a bit, a while ago.
