Others Completed Strive for Power [v1.0d] [Maverik]

[Deleted member 227835]

I have used the search engine to browse posts throughout the thread, but have been unable to find what I'm looking for.

I'm wondering if there is perhaps a list which explains what each and every variable does in the variables file for the purposes of editing. I know some of them are pretty self explanatory, but there's some I'm unsure of. Just wondering if anyone has ever posted a guide explaining each of the different editable variables for the game and what each of them do.

Dis game don't know about *.jpeg, lol.

Which portrait pack is the best one? Which one would you guys recommend?

Bumping this question as I read through several pages and didn't find an answer. Any related information about portraits would be most welcome. Should male and female portraits go in the same folder? How do portraits reference the bodies?

 

[Pdoan]

LeLurker bodies and portraits.

Referenced by file name. Body must have the same file name as it's portrait. Name must be unique for each set. If you use "Customization - Full Body Image", body without a proper portrait will not display. You can assign portrait only by using "Customization - Portrait" and uncheck the "Assign Both" box.

Male and female portraits can go into the same folder. However, without any modification, version 5.19 will assign random portrait regardless of gender. In version 5.19, extra portraits (without the bodies) are more useful.

Most of them are self explanatory. May be you can just ask for the specific one.

These two I was unsure of:

var basesexactions = 1
var basenonsexactions = 1

The player character can initiate interactions with NPCs who reside in the mansion. These interactions are generally beneficial, since they typically make the NPC more valuable (e.g. increase obedience) - or generate resources (mana, essences). If the player was able to interact infinitely with NPCs then they could print infinite resources. Therefore the total number of interactions per day is capped. The player will quickly run out of opportunities, and therefore they'll need to engage in riskier behavior (e.g. exploration and combat) in order to acquire more resources.

The number of opportunities is calculated on the basis of the player character's Stamina value, and so this limit will gradually increase as the player progresses through the game and gains levels. However, you can edit the baseline number of interactions. Instead of 1, you could set it to 100. Doing so would allow you to interact with each of your NPCs on each day, instead of carefully choosing which NPCs need the most attention. This would involve a tedious amount of clicking (hold hands, pat head, drink wine, then repeat the procedure for dozens of NPCs) ... but if you want to remove the numeric limit then you're free to do so.

Alternatively, you could just increase the limit a bit (e.g. because you prefer to run harems which are larger than those for which the game was balanced). Perhaps you might choose a baseline value of 4 instead of 1. Or you might reduce it to 0, so that your PC cannot do any 1-on-1 slave training until you've gained a few levels.

Also, the value in variables.gd is for starting character at level 1 before the effect of endurance. Every 2 endurance level will add another action point. If you add one endurance during character creation (human with 5 endurance), the number of action will be updated on second day to 3. If you change the variable to 3 for example, you will have 5 actions with 5 endurance.

Thanks! Always love a strive update! and thanks @xoxo1001, youre a hero with that code.

Is it still the same cheat code? I can't get fkfynroh to work.

Yeller, the same code still works. It's still on the OP.

For the portrait+body pack, you want the bodies and portraits folders inside the rar to end up in %APPDATA%\Strive\ and not the top folder in the pack. For the mod, you need to create %APPDATA%\Strive\Mods\ if it doesn't exist, and then extract the mod to that folder.

If you're having trouble getting to/finding this folder, make a new shortcut in windows, right click on desktop or a folder and choose New->Shortcut, and enter this as the location: %APPDATA%\Strive

May be a stupid question, but... When I want to open "Full Body Image" game crashes. Any way to fix it? Trying to make that mod above work and my current attempts can be summarized in two words: epic fail.

The game loads every image in the folder, if you're using the pack I recommended... that's a lot of stuff it's loading, and it can run out of memory and crash. Basically, once you have a good collection of images, the portraits and body selectors are practically useless as they take forever to load, if they don't crash on your computer. I started work on a mod that'd only load those images on-demand. It's got a few issues though, but maybe better than it just outright crashing for some people.

To get the mod working, what do you need? You shouldn't need to open that image selector. If this is an existing game and you just want to apply a new portrait to an existing slave, the mod adds a "Random portrait" button to the slave's customization panel which should set a new random portrait.

1. A mod that would automatically add full body image would be great, especially if it matched current portrait. Its a pain when you can't access some in-game stuff.

2. It works now. I just needed to stop being stupid. But sometimes it does not add any image. For example, after a quick start the game rolled for me male fox (forgot if that was halfkin or beastkin) and got blank. Random portrait button did not worked, needed to add manually.

Thanks for sharing this. Should I delete the previous portrait and body pics after downloading your link? Have no idea if the old pics will mess with the mod. The portraits and body I use is from the original post.

You mean for an existing portrait? That's something I could probably add. It does automatically set the body image when a new random portrait is selected though (if there is a matching file).]

2. It works now. I just needed to stop being stupid. But sometimes it does not add any image. For example, after a quick start the game rolled for me male fox (forgot if that was halfkin or beastkin) and got blank. Random portrait button did not worked, needed to add manually.

in settings.gd is a minCount, it wants at least that many images to match for race+sex+age, with some leniency for age, where if it can't match then it'll check "adjacent" ages too. If it's not picking anything, then it likely isn't matching something. Portrait packs i've used don't have a lot of male portraits so often it's not matching anything there. If you have stuff, then the tags on it maybe don't match. Can tell me path+filename for a portrait you think should have matched and I can tell you why it didn't.

There's a

for setting the tags which can also help to identify what tags it is detecting.[/QUOTE]

They won't interfere but maybe won't work optimally. If no sex in the path/name then it assumes female. If no age, it assumes adult. Doesn't have to have tags for hair, skin, tits, or ass. Just an image that does match those will much more likely be selected (it's fuzzy when it comes to those last 4). Might want to leave it in if you have an existing game and characters already set to those portraits that you don't want to change? Otherwise, the pack I linked above includes all of LeLurker's , Butler's, Scars Unseen, and AK|Phantom's packs, plus a ton more, so only keep the old if you want existing slaves to keep using their current portrait.

There's also a tool I linked in previous post which can let you rename existing portraits with tags (displays the portrait, and matching body if it exists, and shows detected tags, lets you add/change/remove tags and then "apply" to rename). Could use that with basically any portrait pack to make it work better with the mod.
