Aric's Expansion Rebred v1.9: Update Soon? Version Game-Breaking Bug Risk Level: Low Previous Save Compatible: v1 (If using Ralph's Tweaks - New Save Recommended)\ Check out the details in the DevLog ! IMPORTANT ( Ignore if just Updating ): If you are installing this mod fresh (without having played it before on Strive4Power version 1d), this mod now requires Ankmairdor's BugFix v6b. It is mandatory and makes the new, far easier method of installing this game work, this mod won't install correctly without it. Please leave him a like/positive comment, his fixed mod framework is what eliminated that old 10-12 step process to install this massive mod. Once you have the Ankmairdor's BugFix v6b and AricsExpansion downloaded, all of the installation details are in the info.txt file (or you can read the updated version below). Download Ankmairdor's BugFix v6b (Required!) Smart people make backups of their save files: If you are using a non-backed up save file, it might become damaged while playing with a modded game. If your 50+ hours story mode campaign is lost and your favorite virtual waifu is gone forever because you DIDN'T copy and paste your save file somewhere nice and safe, please note that THIS is your warning that could have prevented it. Pro move? Back up your Progress Data as well. Installation and Update Instructions - IMPORTANT Any time that a new version of the mod is released or on a fresh install, you absolutely must do the following: Extract Ankmairdor's BugFix v6b and this mod, AricsExpansion, into your %AppData%/Strive/mods folder Verify that the extracted folders are "Strive-1.0d-Bugfix-V6b" and "AricsExpansion" (If they aren't, the correct folders are likely within the ones you extracted.) Start the Game; Activate BugFix v6b (and ONLY this). Hit the Exit Game button. Start the Game; Activate AricsExpansion BENEATH BugFix v6b. Hit the Exit Game button. Start the Game; Make a New Game. Immediately SAVE (as soon as possible). LOAD that game you just Saved. You are ready to play! Have fun and enjoy the new features. If you have any Bugs, please use the Debug mod to give me the specific error so we can resolve it. To upgrade BugFix 5a to v6b : Walk backwards through the steps. Fully deselect/uninstall ONLY AricsExpansion, Restart, THEN uninstall the Bugfix, restart, then start back at step 1 to reinstall all the new goodies. Take it slow, don't skip steps, and you won't break things. If you are using RalphsTweaks or want to enable/disable any features, please go to %AppData%/Strive/mods/customScripts/expansionsettings.gd and enable/disable your features. Custom Settings in expansionsettings.gd currently don't preserve through mod updates (but we're working on a solution to that). Changelog and Updates Changelog for v1.8d All Changelogs (All Changelogs leading up to v1.8, the rest are on the itch.io mod page under Dev Logs) GitHub and Discord If you are interested in keeping up with the very latest work as we update the mod, check out our GitHub . You can download the latest working version there with all bugfixes and new features, but you MUST rename the folder to AricsExpansion (as GitHub adds a '-main' to the folder name). If you're interested in talking to us regarding the mod, bugs, new features, etc; swing by our Discord . Only Install This Mod IF: You backed up your saves and Progress Data. I don't want to get blamed for breaking any games. You are willing to deal with the occasional bug and report those to me in this thread. I try to stay on bug-fixes when they are reported and will do my best, but please keep in mind that I do this on the side for fun and don't get too pissed off if I don't get to one right away. •Help Installing on a Mac (from RK76Manishog)• https://itch.io/post/1082017 It have been reported that you will also need to file the hidden .import files to move the .import files from the mod into.

I couldn't do this without you guys! •Mod Compatibility• Note: It is fairly obvious, but I highly recommend releasing any patches as a separate downloadable option and not doing this process for the original mod files, as that will cause an error if the user doesn’t have Aric’s installed and active. Note 2: This mod touches a LOT of files, due to the project to make full hybrid race support. To make Aric’s Expansion compatible with another mod: 1) Compare the files that the two mods alter from the base game (generally under “scripts”). Note any that both mods touch. 2) Find the alterations Aric’s Expansion made to the script. These are always between the “#—-Added by Expansion—-#” and the end marked by #—-Expansion End—-#”. 3) Copy and paste each section from Aric’s Expansion into the mod’s files. 4) Modify any “#Changed By Expansion#” parts of the script to match Aric’s Mod (usually by placing # in front of the changed part) 5) Ensure the mod (or patch of a separate patch was created instead) loads after Aric’s Expansion (which should override Aric’s with the patched mods files). Files that could not be specifically marked (Items and Traits) have their Modified script added to the end of their relative scripts. ---------------------------------------------------General Features--------------------------------------------------- Note: I've removed several of the "Explanations" for the new systems as some were out of date or just lengthy and replaced with the general Overview below for those requesting it. I plan on starting to work on a fleshed out "ReadMe" document with the detailed look at the explanations after the new update. •Overview• What is Aric's Expansion Rebred? At this point, its pretty much a Strive 4 Power expansion. It touches, changes, and updates most things in the game and adds multiple new systems. Some examples of the new systems or changes are: NPCs Expanded - Genital/Breast/Lip Sizes, Stripping/Nudity (including new supported Image Types), Expanded Talk Functions (Consent, Fetishes, Dialogue Events, Randomized Master Nouns, etc), Lactation Overhaul + Traits, Personality Flaws/Traits (for Dialogue variance), New Movement Options (Flying, Walking, Crawling, Immobile) with Combat Support, New General Traits (Ditzy, Lisp, etc) Sex Expanded - Kinsey Scale Sexuality System (for wider options than Straight/Bi/Gay) with shifting sexualities based on actions, Attraction System, Cum Tracking, New Sexual Requests, New Sex Dialogue, Genital Wear and Tear, Incest Pregnancy Expanded - Overhaul of the Pregnancy System, Pregnancy Speed Changes, Offspring Stat Boosting, and more Character Customization - New Specializations and Starting Slave Specializations, Sizing Support World Expansion - Persistent NPCs with personal reputations and interaction tracking, Town Events, Town Reputation Changes Farm Expansion - A brand new reworked farm panel, ways of milking/breeding, new jobs, a variable Milk Economy, trait lines, snail breeding, and items! •Consent• One of the most common questions now is: "Why won't anyone join my party?" You haven't asked them to (in the new consent system). The Consent System is found under the "Talk > Lets talk about Consent" area. This will show you any topics you can ask for consent for that you haven't gotten consent for OR asked and been refused that same day. To join a party, they must agree to Travel/Fight with you (in v.07 Unique Characters can always join, even without consent). Sex consent can be obtained through this method or the standard Dating method. The rest have a chance based on their obedience, loyalty, and possibly their opinion of the fetish (ie: Incest/Pregnancy). If they refuse you, you can ask again the following day. •New Image Types: Nude & Pregnant• You know how in the main gate there are images for the characters Clothed, Naked, Etc? Do you have that favorite Slave that you wish you could have a naked or pregnant image show for without manually changing it? This mod will now look for a picture of any Slave that has a Body Image Set and either try to find, in this order: A pregnant image if Pregnant Duration > 0 Otherwise a naked image if at least 2 of out of the 3 are exposed (Chest, Genitals, Ass). If the Slave isn’t pregnant, isn’t naked, or there isn’t a valid image for either than it will try to reset the original body image if it was changed or leave it alone if it was not. You, the player, will have to go into the folder where your Portraits/Bodies/Mods are and add pictures to the following folders: bodiesnaked bodiespreg The game will then look in those folders, HOWEVER, keep in mind that all images (portrait, bodies, bodiesnaked, and bodiespreg) will have to have the exact same name and extension (ie: sexyslave.png) or the game wont find it. Let me know the inevitable series of problems this will cause, and hopefully, Enjoy! Portrait Packs for Nude/Preg (Community Created) https://itch.io/t/988503/small-portrait-pack-arics-compatible https://itch.io/t/976351/body-collection-pack-for-strive-arcis • Sex, Stretching, and Wear & Tear • Size matters during sex! Each partner's lust and sensitivity increases or decreases by 10% for each level of difference between the holes. Larger members = larger arousal gains, but also the potential to Stretch or even Tear the hole. Check Changelog for v.05 •Pregnancy• Pregnancy Consent You know what sucks? Being a Slave, getting fucked (willingly or not), then BOOM, you’re pregnant. Or it did. Because now you have a say! Consent Because Consent matters, slaves now have the option to be asked for consent to impregnate them. You still can without consent, but the pregnancy is going to be a lot more stressful for them as they carry an unwanted child. With their consent, having a baby can be a Loyalty building experience instead! But what if you aren’t the one impregnating them? What if you want one of your Breeding Studs to, or even crazier, one of their family members? They can be asked about that and give consent for that as well. Wanted Pregnancies Unwanted Pregnancy - +Stress for the duration of the pregnancy Wanted Pregnancy - +Loyalty for the duration of the pregnancy Consent Types Through interaction system: Sex (with you) - They will have sex with you Through the Dialogue System Pregnancy (Must have Sex Consent) - They will have a baby with you. Breeding Stud - They’ll breed others for you without having to have sex with you first (so no more forced M/M unless you want to) Breeder - They’ll willingly get pregnant with any Studs (Incest supersedes the above) Incest - They will willingly have sex with family members (you included) Incest Breeder - They will be willing to get pregnant with their relatives offspring Note: If the Slave has an incredible stressful pregnancy OR has reached their desired number of children, they may revoke Pregnancy Consent after birth. Consent Factors Pregnancy - Desired Number of Offspring: Slaves now have a Desired Number of Offspring randomly decided for them (Modified by their race, some races just breed more). #Note: Currently not playing nice Biological Clock - Slaves have a Biological Clock that, depending on their age, spurs them toward wanting to procreate IF their number of children is less than their Desired Number of Children Mansion Upgrades The Nursery can be upgraded to 2 different levels. The first level will unlock the ability to keep the children (as per vanilla game), as well as the Breeder and Stud Jobs. The second level will allow you to adjust the speed of Pregnancies by talking to your Head Girl. #Future Plans: A third level that will allow you to unlock specific Traits or open up multiple Baby pregnancies. •Sex• This is a harder one to define as a lot ties in together. Then again, I suppose all of it does to some extent. Sexuality (and the Kinsey Scale) Sexuality is a spectrum. Just not in this game. Well, that’s fixed. No longer are you “Bisexual”, “Homosexual”, or “Other”. Detailed in the in-game Library. •Combat Changes• Movement comes in a few different flavors. This is (hopefully) the template to build off some new, cool combat options. For now, if a unit can fly, isn't encumbered (via items, titsize, or pregnancy/inflation), and isn't exhausted, they will. If a unit is exhausted or restrained, they will crawl. Too exhausted, restrained, or overweight, they will only be able to lay there. Movement Types Flying - Speed/Attack Increased 125% Walking - Normal Crawling - Speed/Attack Decreased 50% None - Speed/Attack are 0 Combat Stress Reworked - Combat stress has been reworked from a flat amount every time to a chance to gain stress each time the unit takes damage depending on their courage and the amount of damage taken. This allows for longer expeditions as well as adding more functionality to the “Protect” action.

WolfLynd4 years ago

Hey guys I don't know if it just me or what but I encountered two things that bothers/ gets me confused. The first one is that whenever I go through 'Far Eerie Woods' 8/10 times I get the event where a bunch of spider trap a traveler in a large cocoon and the other 2/10 mostly wolf attacks. Now I don't know if that how it supposed to be but for the fairy quest I had to go to the 'Elven Grove' because of this where it supposed to be a lower chance to get one. The second one is when I started a new game as a halfkin fox (64%/36% of demon) mage with Frostford as a starting place as soon as i finished with the custom start when I went to assign my stats I noticed that I started of with 1 Agility and 2 unassigned points(which is normal) also in the description it now says I'm 100% halfkin fox. So my question is why did I start of with one Agility point?

ankmairdor4 years ago

The spider trap encounter had testing data leftover so it will appear most of the time in the current release.

There are steps in the customization process where the game regenerates the player, specifically if you change the race, sex, or age or back up from that step. When the person is regenerated you will get new genetics. That said, the bonus for 100% fox is +2 agility. Apparently there is some crude genetics work happening at the end of the customization process that always forces the player and starting slave to be purebloods and the player's racial bonuses are not updated afterwards.

rasbinf4 years ago (1 edit)

Just want to ask if i'm the only one who was abble to see (before when we was at the vers 1.4) the possible hybridation bonus from bredding with x race, and bonus from fullblooded by cliking at the race of any character in their charactersheet ?

havent been abble to found one screenshot when i was checking my folder as i was mostly saved screen of recipe for hybrid and funny moment of the game, but it was visible like that

cause it's was damn useful !

(also found in the setup file the crude information about it but yeah it was way more faster)

ralphomayo4 years ago

I've had it on my list to make (or get someone to help me make) something like that, but no I don't think it actually existed as you describe.

rasbinf4 years ago

what the helll !

it thank to that that i have discover the different hybrid posible and stuff like that, wich are exactly the same as in the file, the setup something, so godamn so yeah 100% sure it wasnt a dream, damn that strange

AricTriton4 years ago

If Ralphs is enabled in expansionsettings, it does have the list where you're referencing. I'd confirm that it wasn't left with use_expansion_tweak = false if you were playing on a Ralphs save.

rasbinf4 years ago

damn in that case it might be that my instalation is fked up, but got the new trait, the new item, specialisation, the training ground and the colorful name, so it's strange

or do that mean that it can be re enabled by change it to true ?

also have start from vers 1.6, with debug and all if that relevant to my question.

AricTriton4 years ago(+1)

The traits/items/specializations are fully separate from Ralphs, Ralphs just gives the unique hybrid races and some additional race alterations (along with the option for difficulty tweaks). If you were playing with Ralphs beforehand, it wouldn't automatically save your changes to expansionsettings.gd, so any changes (like enabling ralphs via the line above) would need to be readded. We're trying to come up with a solution to having to re-add all of your tweaks/changes/customizations in expansionsettings but haven't gotten there yet. You can enable it now by setting it to true though, yes.

rasbinf4 years ago

Nice to know, thank !

reb20094 years ago

i have no way to prove it because i cant get the debug mod to work. but my game has a moment when it crashes. when i hit the subdue button.

ankmairdor4 years ago

The Debug mod is not applied through the mod system and only works for 64 bit Windows.
I'd recommend either waiting for the next version, which should be out in a few days or so, or getting the current main branch from the Github as most of the known issues have already been addressed there (just be careful of the mod folder name).

reb20094 years ago

ok thank

Pete Peterson4 years ago

Is there a way to stop lactation? I never found one so I thought I'd ask here.

rasbinf4 years ago (1 edit)

mutation (a spell that can be acquired at winborn at the magic academy and have a vast kind of effect from add a trait,to change genetic or physic atribute of the slave) or potion (alchemy station)

AricTriton4 years ago

Go to expansionsettings.gd in the customScripts folder and change "lactationstops" to true

Pete Peterson4 years ago

Mutation might work but that's not reliable and can do like anything. There is no potion to stop lactation unless I am really missing something. I've searched through the list a few times. I enabled the lactation stops rule i assume it takes a bit to occur?

rasbinf4 years ago (1 edit)

Question about save comptability, so have try to eddit the setup file to change some of the uniq npc genetic, (cause godamn the fact that some of them was losing bonus point for few %), so so far it work only problem is that for cali it work kinda, as she got all the bonus stat from pure blooded, but the text still say that she's 30% human, so have use a text editor, notepad btw, found her, change her genetic so now she show 100% halfkin wolf, wich was the point.

But with the current vers do the new save file is good for long term ?

i have been abble to play with it no prob, and the save when from classified as "file" to classified as text document.

Thank a lot for any reply =)

AricTriton4 years ago

The next version coming out should be fully save compatible. We may have one that breaks compatibility in the near future, but not in the next version.

rasbinf4 years ago

Well that a relieve, wonder what coming in the next update also =)

iklies4 years ago

Game crash when use "subdue" at sex

ankmairdor4 years ago

VapingVaporeon4 years ago

I know the mind control stuff isn't set to be included in the game for a while, but I feel like there has to be some better system for sexuality in the meantime. The idea that a gay character can sleep with someone of the opposite gender a few times and magically become straight makes everything feel a bit too fluid... no idea if others feel similarly, since I know the current system makes gameplay easier, but this was something that stuck out to me

Deleted post4 years ago

Pete Peterson4 years ago

Maybe if they have enough orgasms only? That way unattractive people have less chance of flipping people? But it's definitely too fluid right now imo.

cyanogen4 years ago

I'm tried to use var use_ralphs_tweaks = true in AricsExpansion\customScripts\expansionsettings.gd. Sorry I just wanna ask, can I enable bonus race for my MC, in ralph tweak bonus race for MC not visible.

And I'm sorry if ask silly question, how can I make my MC wearing clothes, as you can see MC not wearing it, but not catch by town law nudity.

ankmairdor4 years ago

At the moment, there isn't an easy disable for the change to the player's racial bonus stats. The code responsible for it is in scripts/person/person.gd in the cleartraits function under globals.useRalphsTweaks. It causes them to be removed from the player during creation.

I don't think there is any way to manually toggle the cloths for the player, but there may be a way to have it happen automatically, though it will limit your description of the player. In AricsExpansion/expansionsettings.gd you can change player_treats_clothing_like_slave to true and edit the save file to make sure that the player's exhibitionism fetish opinion is low. You'll want a JSON editor, find the player, find fetish, find exhibitionism, and set it to "unacceptable". In theory this should cause the player to automatically re-dress after sex, though this was just from a quick read of the code.

cyanogen4 years ago

Thx ankmairdor for fast respond, I tried to change str_mod to str_base in \files\scripts\person\person.gd

if globals.useRalphsTweaks && self == globals.player:

for i in ['str_base','agi_base','maf_base','end_base']:

stats[i] = 0

I hope this right...

As for MC clothes I'll try it, thx for the help.

ankmairdor4 years ago

I would have used:

if globals.useRalphsTweaks && self == globals.player && false:

Your way works, but made the code redundant.

cyanogen4 years ago (3 edits)

I tried open my save file in JSON, i change exhibitionism to "unacceptable". And change Exposed value to false in result MC wearing clothes ofcouse with some small error. I tried sex, after sex the clothes not visible again hahaha

ankmairdor4 years ago

That error message means that you have an fairly old version of the mod. The redress code is fairly new.

cyanogen4 years ago (1 edit)

I'm using aric's mod v. 1.6. Sorry if I'm misunderstanding.

Sorry if I'm asking too much, but can ankmairdor make script to changeplayer.exposed value to false when I preesing button leave to town or C button at mansion. I'm novice in coding, I've tried it so many times but failed. If too many code will change the mods then don't bother to make it.

ankmairdor4 years ago

The most current version of the mod is on the GitHub, just be careful of the folder name. Adding a new button to a mod is not a trivial task. I recommend getting the GitHub version and trying the automatic approach. Also it has a lot of fixes.

cyanogen4 years ago

Thx very much for the advice ankmairdor

annarepega4 years ago (2 edits)

Mod version downloaded from github 12.2.: ctd when starting a fight if one member of the party has the sword Armor Breaker equipped. It doesn't crash when I use debug, but I do get:

SCRIPT ERROR: passive: Invalid call. Nonexistent function 'append' in base 'Dictionary'.

At: res://files/scripts/abilities.gd:871

Update: found out which equipment caused it

ankmairdor4 years ago

It appears that the addition of new items included a regression of effects for the Armor Breaker. To trigger the built in fix you will need to edit the save file with a text editor(you will want one with a Find tool) and change the "currentversion" from "1.0d" to "1.0" (any change will work, but this keeps it simple). I recommend making a backup of the save file as mistakes are hard to fix.

annarepega4 years ago

Ah, yes, that worked. Thank you very much!

technojaguar4 years ago

New update seems to be doing fine so far I havent gotten through my entire play-through yet , I did find a few grammar errors in the non combat encounters.

Oh also, I've seen this pop up quite a few times, and futanari are disabled in my game and my character is perfectly fine being male so why would my MC randomly think this? lol

AricTriton4 years ago

Great catch! We're still adding in more travel events and some potential settings checks like that weren't thought of. I also believe that one is one of the ones added by the "sillymode" setting that is on by default but can be disabled in expansionsettings, but am not 100%. Feel free to let us know about any grammar mistakes that slipped by as well!

So the links to threads where it was explained how to mod in Mac without Wine have stopped working. In one of these threads, there was a link to a stripped down version of Strive for Mac, that was a necessary part of the process, as the latest downloadable version won't work. Does anyone have that link?

ankmairdor4 years ago(+1)

The stripped down Mac version was shared in the Mac without Wine topic; however, it appears that that topic no longer exists.

https://mega.nz/file/3MJQVJ4Y#w1vLnCqyJ8v9AMdiRLz1lf5ZJHGW9dyNgFaMdp5hIb0

This is the stripped down Mac version, you need either the Windows or Linux version for its files. There is an older copy of the MacOS mod setup in Strive's Mods menu, or in the wiki's modding guide.

Pete Peterson4 years ago(+1)

When you look at a description of yourself this error occurs:

SCRIPT ERROR: showVice: Invalid get index 'vice_known' (on base: 'Dictionary').

AricTriton4 years ago(+1)

Thanks for the report. It is fixed, but for the meantime it's an easy fix on your end. Go into description.gd, find showVice(), then replace:

if person.mind.vice_known == false || globals.expansionsettings.vices_luxury_effects == false:

with

if person == globals.player || person.mind.vice_known == false || globals.expansionsettings.vices_luxury_effects == false:

Pete Peterson4 years ago

Thanks!

rasbinf4 years ago

about

The system can be disabled by toggling expansionsettings > flaw_luxury_effects to false

cant found the file where it his (i have open every file about script i think, and search for word related to it and nothing =(

thank a lot by advance !

AricTriton4 years ago(+1)

Sorry, it was renamed to vice_luxury_effects. It’s in customScripts/expansionsettings.gd

rasbinf4 years ago

found it thank a lot =)

cause my last save was full of rich or noble save and it would have be a nightmare to deal wiht even more luxuary reqcuirement =)

rasbinf4 years ago

question, if they would be a update about the labotaroy possibility, to know if it at least possible, as i assume some mechanic must be more hard to deal with than other.

For example i have search since my discovery of that game i have search for a mod who would allow you to get a secund dong and would really like to know if technically it's possible.

Thank a lot for any awser and hope the best for artic and his enchancement of the game =)

AricTriton4 years ago(+1)

Thanks for the best wishes, they are well received and returned. Regarding the second dong, unfortunately I'm not sure exactly how that would play into actually being used in Sex Scenes. It's an interesting concept, but unless the dong was almost treated like a second male/futa it would involve some serious retooling of the sex scenes to actually let it be used as more than a line of text in the inspect screen. It's an interesting concept though and I'll keep it in mind as a factor when we're looking at revamping elements of the sex system to see if there's any way to set the groundwork for it without redoing the whole system.

rasbinf4 years ago

well my first idea was how to deal with melissa cause even if i was naming the slave she kill "sacrifice" well i was quit pissed at her

and then after i was like it would be actually a interessing idea especially with the interessing feature that is the lab =)

Well that would be amazing if that was possible =)

wholly.mop4 years ago (1 edit)

Can't create a new game, can load an old game but it immediately closes the app when I try to start a new game, please advise.

Update: passing the day in an old save with the mod active also closes the app

ankmairdor4 years ago

Make sure you have the current version of the mod from itch.io (not GitHub) installed. Use the steps: un-apply Aric's mod, delete the mod folder, move the new mod folder, and apply Aric's mod.

Otherwise install the Debug mod(/t/1137280/debugmod-v1) and post the error message you get. The Debug mod will stop the crashing but that does not mean that your problem is gone, rather the game accepts corrupted states in order to keep going no matter what.

wholly.mop4 years ago(+1)

Alright figured out the issue it was user error.

When downloading the bug fix, I downloaded v5 because v6 explicitly said it does not work with Alaric's mod 1.4. I misunderstood that as meaning I should use 1.5.

Nope, this is 1.7 and works just fine with bugfix v6

Kaiet4 years ago

Since 1.7, been having some odd results with certain elements of the racial builds (specifically percentages showing what they are, e..g. 50% human). For one thing, it seems to be having some strange results with the starting slave when I try and make a new game. In previous versions I've gone back a step and re-changed her race to halfkin cat until got 100% feline (since just prefer it that way, even if you could argue a halfkin cat shouldn't be full cat), but now even when I do that her racial build seems locked at 39% human / 61 cat (or reverse, can't remember which). Since the numbers are a little odd, I don't imagine this was intentional, but maybe it is.

Also, the unique characters seem to have started having random racial builds again (e.g. Emily being about 4 different races mixed). If I'm remembering right, this was a problem during one version but was later fixed, but I'm getting same again now.

Since only way I can get a non-demon child is to breed with someone pure whatever I want them to be given that my main is pure demon (at least as I understand the system, since it only seems to pick from the ones with highest matching percentages, such as having 50/50 split and picking either), this is causing me a few problems, and just want to find out if this is intentional or a bug somewhere.

And as a seperate issue, starting slave's submissive route is playing up. When done the alchemy room scene with them, they gain the submissive trait there and then instead of during last scene, but then lose the trait next day, and the final scene that plays out is the one from love/loyal route, with same end trait results as if went that way.

In the previous version, the player and start slave would basically never display pureblood(100%) genes but would always be forced to be pureblood when the game was started, so re-rolling the displayed genes never mattered. The code for assigning genes to unique characters was cleaned up so that the displayed genes are always what you will receive when the game starts. It was also reported by a player that it didn't make sense for halfkins to be purebloods, so halfkins were added as exceptions to the pureblood rule unless Furry was disabled in the Options menu, in which case halfkin would take the place of beastkin in terms of genetics. The 69% animal and 31% human was hard coded for halfkin starting characters when Furry is enabled.

~~Unique characters will have random genes if you do not have Ralph's Tweaks enabled.~~ (Edit: apparently this was changed and unique characters no longer get random genes) Previous versions did not support Constants mod for changing settings like Ralph's Tweaks so the files had to be manually edited every time. Though if you use Constants mod you will need to restart the game for Ralph's Tweaks to go into effect.

I don't exactly understand your problem related to getting a non-demon child. In the previous version, the race chosen for a child had an un-intended bias. It is intended that the child's race will be a random selection of one of the highest percentages if there is more than one. In the case 25/25/25/25, each race will have 1 in 4 chance to be selected. If you have a reason for wanting a different result, then you will need to clarify why and what you would prefer.

Fetishes were expanded to include several vanilla traits such as "Submissive". Vanilla systems for acquiring those traits such as the start slave's quest line and the sex interact have not been corrected, thus those traits will still be added and then later removed. Currently it is not possible to acquire and keep those traits outside of the daily fetish opinion updates.

Didn't play the previous version since was too minor an update for me to bother with (since all it changed was name colour and a few bugs, as I understand), but in the last one before that used to re-roll, hence confusion. Can understand the change to halfkin too, just seemed odd to me given the rather obscure nature of the chosen numbers.

Double checked Ralph's tweaks were on, and they are, but still experiencing the same issue with unique characters. Emily, as previously mentioned, has a ludicrously long list of genetics that doesn't seem to change for me even when start a new game. Just tried it and got the exact same list (below).

ankmairdor4 years ago (1 edit)

Those numbers were chosen by Ralph, I have no idea why those were specifically chosen over a random range.

Also, those genes for Emily were chosen by Ralph, it was something about being optimized for breeding, though that may no longer apply unless the equalizer setting is changed.

There are a couple solutions to your Demon breeding problem. Edit the save file to give the player something like 80% demon and 20% human; it won't update the genetic bonuses but you'll get the children you wanted. Change "player_secondaryrace" and "player_secondaryracepercent" in expansionsettings.gd and start a new progress, though I'm not certain that it works well in every case.

The fetish system is still rather new, so I expect that it will change a bit in future versions and the other issues will eventually get addressed. If you wanted to make sure the start slave quest ends as expected, then you could influence them to have the fetish opinion high enough to get that trait.

Edit: The save file is JSON formatted, so I recommend using an online JSON editor for editing the save file. Also make a backup if you do, it's hard to fix save files.

I'm having the same issue, is there a fix for it?

ankmairdor2 years ago

Which issue?

WolfLynd2 years ago

The one where Emily (and probably the other unique characters) assigned multiple race such as human 84% then 2% of other races. Basically the same issue as Shadowsonger, above my reply.

ankmairdor2 years ago

If you don't like those genes, then open up expansionsetup.gd with any decent text editor and use a Find utility to locate 'Emily' or any other unique name. You can change the genes to whatever you want, change the condition after the "if" to false, or delete their entire section starting at the "if" or "elif" to the last line with one more leading tab than the start. Note there are two sets of code, the first is for playing without Ralph's tweaks and the second is for playing with Ralph's tweaks.

If I install improved random portraits should I do it before or after installing this mod?

ankmairdor4 years ago

All mods(probably just Portraits and Constants) besides the Bugfix mod should be applied below Aric's mod and can be applied at the same time as Aric's mod.

Yo I need help to stop lactation I already enabled lactation stops, I tried moving the timers too but it never stops, after that I tried using leak to see if it was that nope still doesn't work is there something else missing?

ankmairdor4 years ago

It seems that in the process of removing the old milking system, I failed to notice that "person.lactating.daysunmilked" was only updated in the old system. There are currently no safe and easy methods to stop lactation. The only way that exists at the moment is the mutation spell.

There is not an exact match to that old system's code format so the update of that value is somewhat complicated.

The zero-ing of that value would need to be added to extractMilk in expansionFarm.gd.

person.lactating.daysunmilked = 0 #add
var milkproduced = 0

The incrementing(+= 1) of the value would need to be added to dailyLactation in expansion.gd just after the code checking if they are lactating.

if person.lactation == false:
    return text
person.lactating.daysunmilked += 1 #add

Note that the leading tabs are turned into spaces and I have excluded one layer of tabs, so you cannot simply copy this code into your file.

Also, if you use the leak spell on them, suck on their nipples or use a milker during sex it will reset the timer.

I'm trying to disable the expanded farm options as I find them over-complicated and far too tedious in comparison with the vanilla system. The in-game Library says that it is possible in the expansionsettings.gd file, however I cannot find any options in there to simply turn off the farm expansion. In the "Farm Expanded" section of the file, there isn't any variable to toggle the new farm on/off that I've been able to find. Is there a line I would need to add to disable the farm or is the information from the Library simply giving me false hope.

ankmairdor4 years ago

It haven't read it, but it seems that the library is wrong. The vanilla farm does not exist when Aric's Expansion is installed, so no option could possibly revert it. Also, there is no simple change to the code of Mansion.gd that would revert it as the farm GUI in Mansion.tscn has been overhauled.

AricTriton4 years ago

Can you let me know which entry gave you that impression so it could be fixed? That is definitely erroneous as the UI and all elements have been completely overhauled.

Recoilsuave4 years ago

I just went back through the library and didn't see it there. I must have read it someplace else. So the Library is all good. Sorry about that. Even though the new farm is a complete overhaul, I noticed that the farm manager does still perform similarly to its old way by subbing in as a farm hand and milk maid if you don't have any. Would it also be possible to add Milk Merchant to the farm manager's duties if no one else is doing it? At least then all the original farm functionality would be back. Maybe with whatever energy the manager has left being a negative multiplier towards profits. With higher energy, the manager would be more willing to deal with getting good prices, lower energy and they'd just want to get everything sold so they could go home and sleep, lol.

AricTriton4 years ago

The Milk Merchant position is actually pending a fairly substantial overhaul itself to get it closer to where the original intention was. It should allow more direct control over milk sales, city interests, etc. However, I will keep that in mind as a strong possibility to see how easily I can tie that feature into what is planned. That's a good suggestion and I appreciate the feedback.

zmbr4 years ago

Maybe you could split Farm changes into a separate mod?

AricTriton4 years ago

Whew, that'd be a loooot of code detangling. I'm not saying it's impossible, but it's not likely in the near future as a lot of the mod's features rely heavily on components from the various areas it touches (like the Farm).

The “strip immediately” options (from Talk or the toggle in customize) are just for them to strip right then. If you want them to remain nude, you have to brand them and use the nudity rule (like in vanilla). The tooltip from hovering over the customization toggle button should explain that as well as the nudity rule toggle (if unlocked via brand).

Lip sizes do add lisps if at the extreme side of the scale, but reducing doesn’t immediately remove lisps. I believe there’s a chance every day, but the quickest way is to just the lab to remove it (as it is a physical trait).

If you mouse over the left side of the character names, it shows the character’s body image.

Something may be broken on your save if you can’t open your self-inspect menu. I haven’t heard of or seen a bug around that in this version. It may be fixable though. If you aren’t already, download and start the game with the debug exe. See if you’re getting an error when trying to open self-inspect in that. We may be able to talk you through fixing the save, though if it’s just a mid installation it may also work if you just reinstall it fresh and reattempt the save.

That’s the order, that may be part of what messed it up. Technically you have to go in exact reverse order of installation. It would have to be uninstall Aric’s to uninstall the bugfix and reinstall the bugfix before reinstalling Aric’s. If you uninstalled the bugfix while Aric’s was active, that did likely Bork things up.

I’d recommend to uninstall both, download/extract a new game and reinstall to be safe. If it still happens from there, try going to in your AppData/Strive/mods/AricsExpansion/customScripts/expansionsettings and changing the version number to something higher like 17a or something. It’ll force the game to rerun backwards compatibility and hopefully fix the issue if it’s related to the save game.

Awesome! I hope you keep having fun and enjoying the mod as it continues to grow! If you ever want to hop in and chit-chat with the team that actively works on the mod, feel free to swing by the Discord. Most of us don't bite.
