Unity Strip Club Wars [v2.06] [Total Fluke Studios]

[left1000]

In the options the "younger" probability option, is this the setting to make npc's spawn younger than the MC? Or just younger than average? I'd think younger than average would be better than younger than MC? But given how the sisters work I think "younger" might always mean in relation to the MC?

 

[monfane]

Is there something I'm missing to get someone to run for commissioner? I've gone through 2 elections where I've gotten someone to agree to run and they'll vote for what I want because I sponsor them. On the third election, there's no option to ask someone to run anymore. The people I talk to are 21 and live in the appropriate district. I've gone through the entire contact list of people that live in that district, and the option wasn't there

 

[pinktoiletpaper]

Is there a way to add an npc to the game forcing them to use a specific image set? Like let's say I just added a new set of images to my game, but loaded an old save, is there any type of npc creation I can use to point to said specific image set and have it just work?

Maybe as some sort of job hiring event or something?


EDIT: Another idea. Alternatively is there a way to permanently removed an npc from the game without ruining everything in my save file? (I could combine this with the option to add 3 new random characters until I get the new content I wanted into my save file?)

You can edit the save file, or use the King_Tut mod. The second option is more risk-free and, AFAIK, it changes not only the image file, but also the corresponding physical features (hair color, eyes color...)

Open the console and put : cheat set_image #id_char #id_image (don't put "-" in #id_image)

And as says pinktoiletpaper, it accepts only the corresponding physical features. You will see the error invalide if you put a wrong image.

 

[left1000]

Just paste in console whenever Energy gets low:

cheat set_attr 3 stam 99

Money: cheat add_cash 3 750000

Is there any reason why this isn't working for me? My energy remains 0, do I have to move to another location to improve it after the cheat? Or does it only refill if it's above zero to start with?

I have the king tut mod, is that what adds the ability to change an npc's imageset? Because it does not allow changing corresponding physical features overly much, it restricts your choice to similar imagesets, which is likely to avoid breaking the save file. That's why I was wondering about new npcs. A new npc wouldn't break the save file with custom physical features since they didn't exist prior

Yes, it updates at next move/action you take, changeing locale or clicking the next option in threesomes ect.

 

[TotalFluke]

Is anyone else also experiencing a bug in which the go home/go home and sleep options take you back to the office every time instead? Even the notifications about the rent being due/being seduced by the landlady has the office picture in the background. The only time I'm able to return home is suggesting to my sexual partner to change locations back to my place.

Yes, it's happening to a lot of people. The bug is triggered by you breaking up with a GF. I have a fix on the next version. In the meantime there's a way to fix it by editing the save file. If you are comfortable with it, you can do so by finding your entry (labeled MainChar) and then in the second line or so (field 15) there's a string that would look like "...club;-1;-1;SW|scw00...". Change the first -1 to a 3. Only do this if you already have the apartment. Doing so otherwise will make a mess of things.

While I understand the reasoning behind this, I would prefer a more organic solution, rather than just giving them a skill penalty. For instance, adjusting their opinions so that they like skilled/professional work more than food prep/manual/service work, or some event where they complain about their job, or the owner sees them distracted, doing a half-assed job and asks them what's going on...

We already have many factors to work with (wage, experience, attributes & traits, likes...), adding "job preference/hieararcy" to the equation is a bit redundant, IMO.

Finally, the game itself is designed for, and focused on, certain kind of jobs: there are five clubs, one restaurant, one bar and one diner, but no (visible) bank, Police Station or clothes shop, just to name a few.

Them being distracted/doing a half assed job/etc is what's happening that affects their skill. The exact effects were kind of poorly done so that will be improved on the next version. The big issue it being that a cook with a college degree in Food Prep was getting a negative skill penalty is a problem and that will be fixed.

I have no idea what you mean by the last sentence. Yes, not every possible location in the town is represented. Are you suggesting that there should be a bank, stores (which sort of exist although you can't interact in them), etc. If you can think of reasons to add sexy content into a bank I may do it.

There's ways to do but they are too involved and risky to try an explain. Easier just to find an NPC that matches the image you want. You can remove someone for good for the most part by editing the save file and on their Person record where it says avail, half_done or done change it to away. That will make them essentially leave town. They may come back if they have a reason too, like they were scheduled for some event in the future but otherwise they will stop being able to be interacted with.

Is there a console command to do something like list all valid image folders? I feel like some of my image folders might be getting ignored, I went from having 15 options to assign my sister to 7 options to assign my sister somehow after ADDING folders to my list of image packs...


edit: Oh it seems getting an older sister or younger sister is random. so I guess that explains it.

Look at the debug log file. All the image folders being read will be listed at the beginning of the debug log file. But your sister is of random age +/- 4 years yours.

In the options the "younger" probability option, is this the setting to make npc's spawn younger than the MC? Or just younger than average? I'd think younger than average would be better than younger than MC? But given how the sisters work I think "younger" might always mean in relation to the MC?

It's to make them be younger than average. So when a character is being created, the game selects an average age. Depending on that settting, the average age will be lower or higher. For example, when creating a commissioner, the average age may be 40, but the younger setting may bring the average age to 37. That may still generate a 53 year old character but the odds are lower than before.

The sisters and most story characters follow a different process to pick their ages are not tied to that other setting which is meant for random characters.

Is there something I'm missing to get someone to run for commissioner? I've gone through 2 elections where I've gotten someone to agree to run and they'll vote for what I want because I sponsor them. On the third election, there's no option to ask someone to run anymore. The people I talk to are 21 and live in the appropriate district. I've gone through the entire contact list of people that live in that district, and the option wasn't there

There are a couple of other restrictions, like they can't be slaves and they can't unique or story characters. You also need to wait at least 60 days between such offers. So it is possible that if you sponsor a person in one period and the next election comes up pretty fast after you may still be blocked from doing so. Elections are usually spaced out more than 60 days so that would be rare but it can happen.

Is there any reason why this isn't working for me? My energy remains 0, do I have to move to another location to improve it after the cheat? Or does it only refill if it's above zero to start with?

Stamina is your current energy level (that's an internal name and it's the wrong one, it should have been energy). Which goes up and down based on what you do each day. So if you set it to 99, it will soon be used up and be something else. When you sleep it gets reset to your default level that's based on your endurance. That's the one you want to change if you want a permanent energy boost. Set your endurance to 99 and when you sleep you will wake up with the maximum possible energy.

I would like an image pack that's exclusively rendered or AI please. Having real porn stars in my game completely ruins the immersion.

All of the official scw image packs are AI generated. So are several of the community packs, although some of those are based on existing fictional characters. There's a PDF in the Megapack that says which are AI.

Yes, and wouldn't it more interesting if there was an event/interaction/message indicating what's going on, rather than just a number that suddenly goes down with no apparent reason?

Are you suggesting that there should be a bank, stores (which sort of exist although you can't interact in them), etc. If you can think of reasons to add sexy content into a bank I may do it.

Again, that's exactly my point. The way the game is designed, it's clear that cooks, bartenders and waitresses are more in demand than bank clerks.
If I'm playing Venus' Club, I'm supposed to deal with strippers, it would be quite frustrating if one of my strippers left because she wants to study Astrophysics.

Funny perhaps, but weird...

Ah, I ended up setting the election cycle to 30 days, so the time restriction has to be it. It did let me do it 2 elections in a row with the 30 day cycle, so that may be a bug.

if someone is stuck at 51 atrr how do i gte past that ??

Thanks this is all very helpful. Strangely though the .exe now no longer launches for me! wow I'm not sure how that is possible, I didn't manually edit a single file, only using the in game options menu.

I'm going to I guess redownload reinstall and recopy all my imagesets and save files and see if that launches.


EDIT: I am writing here though to ask where the debug log for launching the game is? the ai_log.txt file is purely about in game after loading a save file, not about launch time errors. Running exe nothing happens no log file is changed, making it hard to track down the bug.

EDIT2: Fresh download fresh folder didn't do anything on .exe time to reboot.

EDIT3: reboot did it, gpu drivers musta crashed unrelated to strip club wars

There's an interaction when an employee graduates from college. It may make sense to modify it so that they can voice their concern about their job now and demand a better job and more money.

Employees can't leave to go work at a bank or become doctors or whatever. They can only leave to work at another club. So I'm still not sure of what your point is. There's also no process for an existing character to start going to college. Either they are college students when they appear or they aren't.

Okay now I just need to edit the king tut mod to turn the cheating image replacer from max 20 to max 40 or something. The MC can have up to 40 alternate images but it looks like npcs stop at 20, hmm.

 

[left1000]

While I am asking. A LOT of my image sets are for average white females and most other types of NPCs have only 2-8 possible image sets risking running out.

I know there are asian,black,white,and the R race whatever race that is. There is also fit/average/curvy I think? There is also young and old, and there are big tits and not big tits? maybe? I think?

Are there other categories? Are there two age brackets for image sets? 3? 4? more? are there three body types for female npcs? Or are there 6? Sorry if this is written anywhere but if it's not in the OP I can't find it....

In the docs folder there is SCW character image system pdf that explains these things.

okay thanks, so 5 ages, 5 races and gender these are MUST HAVES

the other physical requirements are optional and best matches will be made these are


height, body shape, hips/butt size, breast/penis size and
skin tone

3 heights, 4 body shapes slim normal curvy fit, hips are 3 small medium or large, breast or penis comes in small medium large and ridiculously large, skin color has light medium and dark. But skin colors typically align entirely by one of the five races that were nonoptional in the imageset code. Okay this makes sense to me now then.

the one that is tricky and I might be running into some confusion with with the king tut mod is hair and eye color which are in the base game always inherited, but I bet the king tut image replacer has to respect these otherwise the character sheet would get wonky, that's I think why some npcs have so many less choices than other npcs? it's hair or eye color that is rare?

I don't know if this helps, or even if it works long term as I only played for about a month (in game time) after doing it).
I wanted a specific image set for me and my daughter. I restarted the game a few times and was never given the options, together, I wanted so I saved the game after char creation and went into the save file. As each image set I wanted had appeared, just not both, I noted down the characteristics, height, sex, etc or the two I wanted - along with finding their ID in the character sub folders.
I created save files so I could see the values for characteristics like penis size etc and note them for the chars I wanted to change. I deliberately chose images that were close in these regards. Sex, ethnicity, etc are all written out and not given numerical values so they were easy to just change.
I then changed everything in the set the game had generated to fit them and restarted the gave from the save. It changed them to the char set I wanted.
Intrigued, I then changed men into women, Asians into Blacks, etc and the game seemed to be ok with it.I even changed an owner and a city official.
Like I say, I have no idea if there would be long term problems, but there was nothing short term! It was not a short process as I am useless at such things, but I enjoyed it.

 

[Jeepster]

Does anyone know what Time frame these come unlocked - BDSM Dungeon, back room, Massage room, Private dance room, Sex room and Vip Lounge come open? or a way to unlock faster.
