HTML The Outlaw: Empyrean War [v0.6a] [Flutewind]

The slave cult only ever sold me the basic items and 2 other things that were stat boosters, there was never a slave in there even though the text mentioned her.

Sure, I can give you the save, but I did cheat some things to check what was working or not. So not sure how helpful it will be.

I see, I'll work on it. Thanks for your help.

Ah okay, the slave is only available once the brothel quest is finished.

Regarding the brothel quest, I have been unable to reproduce the error with another save. I'll continue to pursue the possible issue, but I'll release 0.5c soon.

I was offered to start the brothel via the NPC before the "relationship" quest of hers where she then suggest a brothel, I then was told I needed to get goblins which is weird you can only do them from the ship battles and not from the previous city with goblin caves. However I got them, then a succubus showed up and was told needed a sword which I already had, and now I have that succubus. Not sure what else would be left to it. Especially since you only get a scene with the stage 2 of the brothel goblins and never the humans or the succubus.

When I show up at the Succubus harem mistress to talk to her she will randomly want me to buy the brothel again.

For me, the brothel quest resets when visiting the Mayor in Selvil and asking him about the town's condition.

I was unable to sign up Selene and Jharina for the competition because $KlatschRep was NaN. It changes to NaN when you "Hand over all woodcore stones". It seems the same action also clears the $Stonesold because "$woodcore" is used instead of "$earthcore". Players can partially mitigate this by running the console command "SugarCube.State.variables.KlatschRep = SugarCube.State.variables.RedeemedCoupons * 2".

"Hand over a darkcore stone" is also bugged in that it does not deduct a darkcore stone, allowing for infinite coupons and rep.

How can we win legitimately against Thalia's ship? Fortunately you can't lose because of a bug and can keep attacking until she losses. And how Thalia went from her encounter with you to become the ship's captain would be an interesting story. It is at least worth respecting.

The Mahogany House arc is good, but it seemingly ignores that Selene is also an eager and depraved sex slave. Maybe it could be improved if Mallory attacked Selene on her brothel gangbangs. Or assuming Mallory can hear of it, participating in the Klatsch sex slave competition.

Can you provide a save of when the brothel bug happens?

Fixed the NaN issue and the infinite darkcore issue, as well as the bug in ship combat. Will release bugfix as soon as the brothel quest bug is cracked (or tomorrow, if the brothel quest bug still persists).

Do you think Thalia's ship is too strong? I intended her to be a challenging battle, but I'm very open to feedback regarding balance.

The idea on the Mahogany House arc is fantastic, I'd incorporate it. Mallory did attack her on that in the final round, but I agree the depravity aspect could be played up more. Mallory likely can't hear about the Klatsch competition though; the Domain guards its borders very carefully, with magic far outstripping whatever the Church can field. And the only ones who know are Yvette, Jharina, and the MC (and his companions), none of whom are likely to give her any info.

Thanks for all the feedback and bug reports.

Is your case the same as husofpgy's, where Yvette asks for payment again when meeting the mayor?

 

[Flutewind]

Alright, I finally cracked the brothel quest issue. Bugfix dropping soon.

Flutewind, that brothel thing... maybe just burn it to the ground and start again?

But seriously, I noticed that you can't recruit most of the optional brothel whores after you've acquired Seira, which sets BrothelQuest to 5. Popped 5d open in twine and discovered that the triggers are all set to "is 4" instead of "gte 4" (or 5 depending on what you desire, I note that's what Juna's set to), which means they'll only trigger if you do not acquire Seira.

Arachne Exclusive Shop
<<if $BrothelQuest is 4 and $GangbangWhore isnot true>>

Visit Marketplace
<<if $ProstitutionLegal is true and $BrothelQuest is 4 and $NellieWhore isnot true>>

Undead Dungeon Dwarf Bot
<<if $BrothelQuest is 4>>

Also, under on the goblin slaves, it looks like the wrong variable is defined in Selvil
Selvil
<<if ndef $GoblinSlave>>
<<set $GoblinSlave to 0>>
<<endif>>

as the methods of acquiring them both use GoblinSlaves
Arachne Cult
[[Buy slave|Arachne Cult][$ArachneToken to $ArachneToken - 5;$GoblinSlaves to $GoblinSlaves + 1]]

Victory Ship
You also manage to capture _j goblin women. <<set $GoblinSlaves to $GoblinSlaves + _j>>

And a fix in the Telwor Forest 5 segment,
under the <<if $AnnualFairPoint gte 20>>
it has <<set $LustTome to true>>
but under <<elseif $AnnualFairPoint gte 8>> it uses $LustboltTome, and that is what's called later in that script to either power up or learn the spell.

Hello, and thanks for the feedback!

Will consider burning the brothel to the ground and blaming the Church of the Light-King for that.

Seriously though, I'll whip up a round of fixes when 0.6 rolls around. Thanks again.

PROGRESS REPORT

Those who have finished Selene's questline will soon face an old opponent: Senior Priestess Mallory, in her bid to be the new High Priestess. Depending on your choices, she could be a politically hostile force, a personally hostile force, or a surprisingly reasonable pseudo-ally.

The Church's summit is part of the main quest progression and is the focus of 0.6. Despite being busy with real life stuff and twine deciding to produce errors when saving which took a few days to solve, work on 0.6 has gone relatively smooth. There are also new content everywhere: Thalia receives a new quest, the Arachne Cult has a new quest, and there'll be more harem quests.

Expect 0.6 to drop in a week or so. Thank you for playing The Outlaw!
EDIT: unfortunately, even though the content is finished, I've not had time to playtest it. Depending on whether any major bugs appear, I should be able to release 0.6 on 12 January-14 January.

NEW VERSION RELEASE

Hello all! Version 0.6a just dropped. For changelog, please refer to the changelog part of the post. I recommend keeping saves before playing 0.6a, to anticipate possible bugs. As usual, if there are bugs or suggestions, feel free to comment. Thanks for your support!

I cannot go past the archweaver quest it just shows this

 

[BingoDingo123]

Is there a fix yet for the darkcore NaN bug? Can't do the Arcane Guild quest because of it.

Noted. Will release hotfix soon.

Is there a fix yet for the darkcore NaN bug? Can't do the Arcane Guild quest because of it.

Can you elaborate? There was a NaN bug related to the woodcores (which has been fixed), but I'm not aware of the darkcore NaN bug.

P.S. if you can attach a save where this bug happens, that'd be great.
