Unity Abandoned Some Modeling Agency [v0.10.4e] [T Valle]

[Onolan]

Please find attached the latest experimental Monkey v1.10.

It was designed and tested to work with SMA 10.4e or later ONLY.

The release contains several new requested features, bug fixes and changes required to support new content.

As usual, I made a lot more changes than anticipated and it is possible bugs slipped through testing. If you notice anything, PM me on Discord or F95.

If no major issues are found, I'll link this message directly from the main page and remove the previous version.

Important note

Microsoft defender is sometimes generating false positives. The only solution to prevent this worldwide is to pay for an EV code signing certificate, which I won't do.

Never trust anything that triggers including Monkey. ALWAYS double check on VirusTotal and make sure the attached SHA-256 signature matches.


What's new

• Keyboard inputs are disabled when in a modal popup (ex: save).
  A message will show in the title bar when this occurs
• Better cloth editor UI to help with larger amount of custom content
• Light probe volume API for better custom scene lighting
• Scene management API for selecting the active Unity scene
• You can now load clothing from a model save file
• Strip a model from the cloth editor menu
• New 'Mode' refresh JSON event type
• New API accessor for manipulating emotions
• New property API to allow JSON object access via their GUID

Bug fixes

• Async code will now recover when the game crashes
• Player shadow disabling will now work with the new clothing
• User font size will be properly applied on mode entry

Other changes

• Material and mesh swapping code now uses the main game editor handlers
• Switched to the newer Studio 2022 toolchain
• Scene assets are now unloaded asynchronously
• Monkey custom cloth support was removed as the game supports this directly

See Monkey_readme.txt in the archive for install instructions.

as soon as I did the update unfortunately I can't stop falling through the floor whenever I start an interview using the button or on a single interview, it happends the second I walk past the start of the desk. Not even using Monkey to move my Y-axis seems to fix this, my character keeps falling down. At maximum fall depth, there is nothing visible on the Y-slider in the monkey menu.

Monkey isn't messing with the Y axis of the male player. There is a lot of game code that requires the player feet to touch the 'ground'.

I would reinstall the game in a new directory then test that standalone first. If this works, install monkey and test again. If you can replicate this issue, PM me and I will investigate.

Amazing work, my hats off to you. This feels like an actual update to the game with how feature packed it is.
Really nice to see the models walking and moving between poses naturally, the photoshooting is really nice.
One minor gripe I have is that you need to look up in a certain way to move the "tasks" window out of the way to be able to move the rating sliders when you rate a girl.
Perhaps it could be moved to a different spot so it's not blocking that window?

HE IS WORKING ON MY DREAM FEATURES DONT SAY THINGS LIKE THAT!

MR TVALLE DONT LISTEN TO WHAT HE SAID PLS ADD POOP COCKTAIL MINIGAMES WHERE YOU FEED THE MODEL TACOS UNTIL SHE GETS EXPLOSIVE DIARRHEA AND A TUBE TAKES HER POOP RIGHT INTO MY MOUTH PLS PLS PLS

Yea. He's/She's trying to make sense and wrap his/her head around your request after catching a fever right after reading your request

 

[TheCombatFox]

I think you did all what's needed to be done if you want to play with Monkey... Just open the game and start interview and you'll see some new keybinds at the top of your screen

BetterExperience Update 5.2a

Many thx for the mod (also to Thora for the super monkey mod as always!).
I like the demo very much and it's working like a charm.
But I do miss the settings possibilties (I did assaign f2 and f3 as hotkeys for auto thrust and auto seeker for example to have more control in free camera mode) for the normal better experience stuff in the main game which was available when u hit esc in the first place.
Any chance to bring the function back?

As far as I can tell, it's still possible.. Just hit Esc, click 'BetterExperience' and then under the 'player' tab, you've got the option to change the keybinds for both 'auto-thrust' and 'auto-seeker'..

I'm just happy that the loving people seems to have retreated back into their daddys basement after Monkey and BE dropped.. I guess they are busy sucking off their fingers. "Long may it last!"

The Mod is Amazing! I wish I could reproduce the script of the Doctor's Story with undressing and health check!

Really enjoy your update, but for some reason it randomly reboots my computer (Windows 11) while playing the agency demo. I only have installed the mods from your list into SMA 10.4e (latest update). Not sure if anyone else have this issue or if it's just me.

Interesting. I made a new installment of SMA and installed all the mods as described. But the "Better Experince" does not show when I hit ESC...
So I figured maybe it has been removed to ensure the new features do work

 

[Ju5t_Truman]

I can't download Monkey. Swears it's a virus.

Sounds reasonable, but no fix for now

but for some reason it randomly reboots my computer

Weird, maybe its some driver issue that triggered by unity's shaders + new office scene?

But the "Better Experince" does not show when I hit ESC

It's strange, some settings may be visible in-game only, but the settings button itself definitely should be there

But it's safe, no need to worry.

seeing the poop emoji made me hard.

After trying the homework story and getting game crash instantly after loading the scene and model, I just deleted all the SMA folders (game folder, settings in appdata folder, saves in documents folder) and installed new from scratch.
Good news is the homework does work now, but Better experience still not showing after hitting ESC.
Any hints? Is there a console to bring up and show what's not working?
I also have the problem that the custom story screen is missing some info (like the red and green buttons)



Any help much appreciated!

View attachment 3430149 I can't download Monkey. Swears it's a virus.

Like I said in the download instructions, certain regions will triggers a virus alert. There is nothing I can do except pay yearly for a 'certificate' to pay the bit toll. If this is a recurring problem, you may be able to adjust your AV 'reputation' or 'ai' based detection. It's becoming a popular sideline for A/V companies as they can sell subscriptions.

DO NOT install anything that is flagged as a virus. This includes Monkey.

If you do want to proceed make absolutely sure that the CRC signature matches, and check with sites like virustotal to confirm this is a false positive. I also recommend playing anything downloaded from here in a sandbox.

I also have the problem that the custom story screen is missing some info (like the red and green buttons)

Its ultrawide resolution. Settings button is drawn somewhere below screen. Looks like Unity is not very good at scaling 16:9=>21:9. For now, no idea how to fix it(or at least reproduce)

As for settings button to change hotkeys, you can try temporarily run game as windowed in 3:4 or 16:9
