Ren'Py Sexbot Restoration 2124 [v0.10.2] [squirrel24]

[squirrel24]

I was unsure if a mod could add a location,other than that why would it require a spin off? It would require some bots and the stories about them. Could those bots not be tied to the location as well(like high end bots at the club or low end at the flea market)? Short of generating a new location how would it be different than any bot mod(ap points would be tied to the location like neighborhood vs 13 so making it 2ap should not be difficult?). Maybe I misunderstand what mods are able to do?

You don't misunderstand what you can do with mods. Anything that can be programmed is possible since I provide the source code for everyone. The issue is that your story uses one of the characters in SR24. If you don't involve Ruthie, the store owner, the rest is fine. If you or anyone else involves Ruthie, Earl, Louis, or Simone in mods there will be problems because SR24 has a story line using the characters and your events with them will be inconsistent with what they have done and will do in SR24.
In general, I'm asking everyone making mods who want to use a character: please create your own characters, don't use the ones in SR24 (except the MC of course!).

Tried again to fix cpu consumption issue and I think this working better. Removed completely renpy.redraw call from MaxableImage because apparently it was attempt to fix problem with events not passing from parent Text displayable where "{image=}" tag was used (which is probably renpy's optimization of constant displayables and documentation says "{image=}" tag intended for small images:

You must be registered to see the links

). To prevent creation of parent Text displayable, in status screens of mc and bots images declared with 'add' statement and without "{image=}" tag (right sidebar already uses this declaration for bot avatar). For main interaction screen where all game events happening 'add' statement is not available and declaration of images still should use "{image=}" tag because now they automatically converted to properly styled frame with image inside.

Thank you very much. I will look at your changes and see if I can understand them and I will make myself a test version using them to see how it works. I believe you understand programming much better than I do!

how to get S grade Bots!?

Luck at the dump or buy them. A mod may give you better odds at finding one at the dump.

This is a game I wish had a paper doll system and better renders. It's off to a good start but part of it feels like the renders were thrown in there as an after thought, they are so small you have to squint sometimes to look at them and feel very repetitive / non customizable.

Overall though I do enjoy what's been done with the story etc.

u could be right! , i cannot find pic assest just .Json

You can find the assets in my signature, along with the (current) latest version of my .json.
Just make sure to take the JSON corresponding to the game you are playing (there is a DSCS version, and a SR24 version). The assets is the same for both version.

Technically, it is a good restart based on a game that did not have images at all by somebody learning to mod the game as they go for the fun of it. You can check the first page of this thread for more info or maybe the current dev will share his thoughts.

The game can be modded, so perhaps you or somebody else will take up the challenge to give it the paper doll system and better renders you would like.

Sorry, the framework was made in DSCS and I'm not capable of changing it very much without breaking it. Do you know you can click on an image and it fills the window? Click on it again and it goes back to the original size.

Yes the renders are not great, I'm teaching myself Renpy/Python and DAZ at the same time. Two years ago I knew nothing about either one and both have fairly long learning curves. Newer parts of the game are better than older parts. Maybe some day I'll redo older images but it's a lot of work and wouldn't make that much difference. Besides, I'm sort of attached to my original work even if it isn't that great.

Yes the images are repetitive. I spend about equal amounts of time on programming and creating images. If I tried to double or triple the number of images it would make things take much longer as well as increase the game size dramatically. Sorry, that's the way it will be because this is my hobby and I want to develop the game not manage others developing a game.

Sorry, what is a "paper doll system"?

A 2D avatar system with many options that can change dynamically based on what is happening in the game at the time. A lot Html CYOA/Text Adventures use them. They can take a long time, and a lot of resources to implement correctly. Fun fact if you want to see a example of a great Paper Doll system at work take a closer look at Lust Doll Plus.

Thanks for the information. I tried the game but it is not Renpy and it uses 2d cartoon graphics so I don't think it's worth looking at. Do you know of any examples, even bad ones, that use Renpy and 3d graphics?

Lab Rats 2 Reformulate, The Vixens Tail series, 2019 in These Good Ol' Mountains, Damsels and Dungeons, SuperPowerd.
they're probably others I have missed.

thank you! so file name is Assest ? 1.3GB ? (go link is down but mega is okay)

Thanks, I don't need a bunch of them. I only wanted to see one that's more relevant to what I'm doing. I'll take a look and see what it's all about.

Damsel&Dungeon is good... sadly dev got hit with Glaucoma (i could be wrong last read was couple year ago)

how to get S grade Bots!?

i found 1 or 2 S bot at Dump... found big male BOT with Social and combat S... wish game have Job put Bot as security.. haha

Lab rats 2 reformulate is currently working on a daz remake, though their general systems for clothing and body changes is staying the same from what I understand. Paper doll systems in general do take time to set up but once they are, can be easy to update and add to.

I think my main point was meant to be that I wish I felt like I was actually modifying or changing the bot's appearance etc by working on them.

Makes sense. In this game with all the bot mods I can't do that. Mod authors would have to create the art. For the built in bots it could be done but it's a lot of images. A large part of this project for me is learning Renpy/Python programming and DAZ studio 3D graphics. The 'paper doll' style doesn't fit my goals very well. Played Lab Rats 2 for awhile, last night. Lots of stuff in it, steep learning curve. Too busy with this project to spend enough time on it. Cheers!

My mistake...it was not Ruthie,but a woman I keep seeing outside her shop when I visit her(*wink). I just get lost in boobs sometimes and do not pay that close attention to faces,but you are right it was not Ruthie.

In short....I need to learn how to mod lol. I may take a crack at it as it gets colder I will have more time this winter,hopefully.

Don't worry about it too much, focus on making a great game to act as a foundation for the mod authors. You've done great job so far. You took a dead game and gave it new life, and you should proud of that.

sir Squirrel24 got Question on MOB protection Quest, Why mc not getting back all bot after completed the QUEST ? i manage to play quest Twice, complete it twice.. but why bot not returned maker is.. a dying mystery for me xx

Why would you think the MC should get the bots back? A car dealer would not get a car back from somebody who committed a crime with a car they got from them, which would be considered evidence.
