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.

So I'm loving the mod, it kind of breathes new life into everything like the Revamp and Xianxia mods did for Corruption of Champions! I have noticed one problem so far, and it might just be my file? I started as a breeder and racked up a lot of coins early game to get a training facility, but for some reason when I use even my highest level veteran as a trainer, the trainees get no experience. Not even the level 1 newbies get anything and the daily report just shows up as blank for both. Am I missing something?

Hi, im new here and im kinda running into some minor problem. Sometimes when selecting an option in a dialogue, the dialogue is still in place and the options (sometimes scenes) will appear behind the dialogue instead of appearing in front to access it. Btw, I love the mod! kinda addicted to this game fr.

I guess I did the same thing and I got confused since i also downloaded the two versions. Thank you for the reply!

fiyota4 years ago

I'm having trouble getting the strip features to work correctly. I'm not sure if it's a bug or if I'm missing something.

I can talk to the slaves and tell them to strip, but as soon as I hit cancel it reverts back to clothed and I can't go see the stripped state in the inspect screen. It sometimes stays if I tell them to only strip top or bottom. But even then it seems random if it will still show when I close the talk window.

I also don't see how I can set the rules for them to stay stripped? I can see the strip immediately checkbox in customize, but that resets at day end or after sex.

Nothing I do seems to trigger them to stay exposed after sex, it always says they weren't told to stay naked. I'm not quite sure how to enable that rule?

Thanks for the help!

ankmairdor4 years ago

The clothing feature is probably more complex and buggy than it really needs to be. If you assign a new image to a slave while their image state is either pregnant or naked, then their image will not change until their image state returns to normal. A slave will have a naked image type if they have been stripped of at least 2/3 of their clothes. If the image is changing, but reverting then they are probably choosing to not be naked.

The intent of a slave to chose to be clothed is primarily determined by their exhibitionism fetish opinion. If their opinion of being naked is high, then they will remain naked. If their opinion of being naked is moderate, then they can be forced to remain naked using the nudity rule associated with the advanced brand (acquired by progressing the story quests or always available in sandbox mode). If their opinion of being naked is low, then they may choose to re-cloth even though you attempted to force them to be naked.

fiyota4 years ago

That makes some sense why I can't find the option to tell them to stay stripped. I've just started a new save and was testing the new features and haven't progressed to the advanced brand yet.

It doesn't really explain the strange behavior of only having the ability to have 1 item stripped when asked through dialogue. If I ask to have one body part shown it will stay when I exit from talking to the girl and it shows the state in the inspection text. But if I ask to show 2 or fully naked it immediately flips back and I can't read it in the inspection area. I have to use the immediately strip check box to read the details.

ankmairdor4 years ago

The mod doesn't consider removing 1 piece of clothing to be naked, so no action is taken. This may need to be reconsidered.

The immediate re-clothing is probably unintended behavior as the update for Clothing is triggered anytime the slave list in the mansion is updated, which is triggered by almost every part of the Talk menu.

fiyota4 years ago (1 edit)

That makes sense. It would be nice if it didn't, at least until you picked another slave to inspect. That way you can ask them to strip, close out of talk, then see what they look like under the clothes, then when you leave them to inspect the next slave they have an opportunity to dress again.

A work around might be to have it display the flavor text that is obscured by the talk window within the talk window. That should be a fairly simple thing to implement? That way when you ask to see what's underneath you get a print out of what the inspect window shows in the chat window. Maybe a chance to include some flavor text along the lines of "You inspect their blah blah", or if the results are a negative sight you could have the flavor text say you are disappointed with blah blah..

Simply having the inspect details of whatever you asked to strip print in the talk window would be a big improvement!

LAG88674 years ago

so um it seems that the text for how much semen is in the cunt and womb is bugged and only showing at times is there a reason for that and has this been pointed out yet. I liked that feature

ankmairdor4 years ago

You need someone assigned as a Nurse to get that information.

LAG88674 years ago

is that in a newer update it used to not be like that interesting

ankmairdor4 years ago

The code that checked for a Nurse did not work, so I fixed it. Not sure how long that check was in place.

aaaah that makes sense welp thanks for letting me know

slobama4 years ago (1 edit)

i noticed unique traits (such as study and small eater) dont get inherited anymore. is there a way to revert that change?

rasbinf4 years ago

go back before the impregnation and make sure to check the % chance of give away trait from parent to child, also in my memory of the base game child don't get all trait like adult do.

dont forget that you can use constant to try it fast

slobama4 years ago

i had constant on. i had it at 100% to make sure.

but i think i figured it out in origins.gd i found this and removed it

#ralph

elif tag == 'unique':

for i in traits:

if traits[i]['tags'].has('unique') == true && traits[i]['tags'].has('expansiontrait') != true:

###---Expansion End---###

rval.append(traits[i])

#/ralph

so i think it was ralph who changed it

rasbinf4 years ago

good to know will write it down to remember =)

after there the unique trait tweak in constant maybe it could help too

BigSlow3 years ago

Potential problem. Does this mod remove Dark Elves as a race? If so I'm stuck on the main quest when you need to get a Elf and Dark Elf for the hag in the hut. Is there a workaround, or am I missing something?

ankmairdor3 years ago

Why would you think that this mod removes any races? It currently does not change the number of races, though there are plans to add several more. Dark Elves are hard to find, you are probably better off buying one.

I'm not sure if this has been asked before, but is there a way to still be able to talk to livestock after they get sent to the farm? I wanted to check on their fetishes and give them potions, but the only way I could talk to them was to release them first and to give them potions I had to hunt them down in the inventory menu.

rasbinf3 years ago

no you have to have them in the mansion but in alll honesty it's not exactly a problem especially cause most of your slave are usually not home either because of modification or getting higher grade after for then inventory menu you can select to check only potion there some other page in it dedicaced for each category of item, plus if you click on the slave they are an option to use item on them wich are limited to potion.

Tawna3 years ago

I see... Would have been easier if I can just talk to them without releasing them and putting them back, but oh well. My attempt at finding and modifying the right bit of code went poorly anyway...

rasbinf3 years ago

can't help on that sadly

i'm agree on the fact it's anoying when you have a lot of slave and you need to juugle with the place just to talk or calm down the slave at the farm =(

NginxPro3 years ago (1 edit) (+1)

Heya! Just tried this mod and it absolutely game changing (literally and metaphorically as well), but, the logic of random portraits kinda annoys me. Seems like the portrait selection doesn't honor gender setting. II didn't use any random portrait mod, so I'm suspecting either this mod or Ankmairdor's bugfix mod might have something to do with this behaviour. Are there any setting to make sure the random portrait abide the NPC gender setting? Thanks in advance!

ankmairdor3 years ago

Only the Random Portraits mod(/t/984434/randomportraits-and-portrait-pack-editor-for-the-10-ver...) cares about the sex of a person. Neither AricsExpansion nor the Bugfix mod change the portrait assignment behavior from vanilla, which ignores everything but race, so there are no settings to control it. The order of mods should be Bugfix, AricsExpansion, and then Random Portraits.

NginxPro3 years ago

Aah, thanks a lot for the link! Been a while since playing this, so I mostly just skimmed on the mod list. Trying it right now.

AricTriton3 years ago(+1)

Version 1.8 released (finally). Enjoy!

BladeHGallade3 years ago

So I tried updating the mod, I just followed the instructions but when I enable the updated mod and restart, the game keeps crashing when I try to boot it up. I even uninstalled all of strive (kept my saves of course) and tried to just install the mod as if it was my first time. Idk if I messed up along the way, but I'm grateful for any help. Thanks!

Tawna3 years ago

Same here, game doesn't even make it to the main menu.

named user3 years ago(+1)

I tried installing the mod as per instructions, on a fresh install of Strive v1.0d. The game runs fine on its own as well as with the bugfix, but after applying Aric's I'm unable to start a game. Is anybody else having this issue, or is it just me being too dumb somehow?

Da7kness3 years ago

Afraid I'm also experiencing this. I initially just updated the mod with my existing game and it launched fine, but there were a couple of errors so I did a fresh install. With a fresh install it just crashes once Arics is activated and restarted.

Da7kness3 years ago

I've restored my files. When updating the mod from 1.7 to 1.8a it produces this error.

kkaiy3 years ago (4 edits) (+1)

I'm encountering the same. Clean install of public win64 1.0d, user data likewise cleaned, start game to repopulate user data, exit game, unpack the bugfix and expansion mods to the proper directory, start game, activate just the bugfix mod, exit game, start game, activate just the expansion mod (after bugfix mod in list), exit game, start game, CTD.

hello, I want to ask, is there any source of images for the new races?

AricTriton3 years ago

Sorry guys, I tried to run a quick hotfix before work. Unfortunately I didn't have the time to playtest it first, so I missed the obvious CTD error. Fixed up now with all intended bugfixes. This version should be fully stable (at least through the quick 3 day run I just tested).

ChaoticSquish3 years ago

ok suuuuuper dumb question i'm sure but will old games work or need to start new?

AricTriton3 years ago

Vanilla save or modded with Arics? Vanilla has some compatibility issues but old AricsExpansion games are kept (to the best of my ability) backwards compatible

ChaoticSquish3 years ago

oh cool, thanks!

Tawna3 years ago (1 edit)

Found a bug, I think? Cattle kept producing no milk and going unmilked after the update, so I took a look through the code. I think the problem is that in the expansionfarm.gd, for some reason the cattle.lactating.milkstorage is always 0 so milking is never done, and in expansion.gd, the daysunmilked has no way of returning to 0

I'm just an amateur coder though, and I'm not familiar with Godot Engine to boot, so take what I say with a grain of salt. Maybe a pinch. Or a bag.

ankmairdor3 years ago

You are close enough. There was an old system for milk prior to the current expanded farm and not all the necessary parts(such as daysunmilked) have moved over to the new system. There is a lot of messing code and math, and some of that is likely related to milkstorage sometimes having unexpected values. I haven't taken the time to read through the code and clean up milking yet.

Tawna3 years ago

I see, glad I didn't mess up reading the code then. Also glad I didn't simply screw something up installing the mod lol.

AricTriton3 years ago

I believe I've patched a fix for this that'll be in the next update but will need some testing to confirm. Thanks for the report!
