Devious Curses NG 0.8.5

Going forward I'm looking for people that will be able to write translations for the mod before each major update. If you are willing to do that, please reach out!

There are 3 files that need to be localized (X is the target language):

translations/Devious Curses_X.json  which contains all strings that are sent out through the DLL

interface/translations/Devious Curses_X.txt  which contains all strings for the MCM

Devious Curses.esp

for the two main translation files, all missing translations will be reported in the log file on game load to help on mod update.

For the ESP, I am using Dynamic String Distributor, so any translations you make that work with DSD can be sent over.

This is the list of all Lewd Marks:

Allure: Will increase the arousal of all nearby actors.

Heat: Will increase your arousal.

Nudity: Will require you to be nude. (duh)

Bondage: Will equip devices on you from your inventory.

Branding: Will brand you with random tattoos (Requires Rape Tattoos)

Healslut: Will require you to heal your allies and prevent you from dealing damage!

This is the list of all Oppressive Devices:

Summoner Collar: a collar that needs you to have sex with summoned creatures. If you don't have a summon, it will just summon one for you!

Living Latex: a catsuit that tries to cover you in ebonite devices over time. You need to awaken it in combat, and then shock it to get it off! Mages can also rarely drop a volatile gem that will shock it for you.

Dwarven Cuirass: a full bodysuit that takes control of your actions! To remove it you need to feed it dwemer parts like gears, gyros, and cogs.

Madness Plug: (designed for Unforgiving devices, but will work without) a plug that will do random things when you orgasm! It can equip restraints, add tattoos / marks, restrain your followers, and with true madness change player stats, loose gold, and some other things.

Nocturnal Piercing: A clitoral piercing that will make you invisible while your arousal is low. The catch is that while you are wearing it invisible hands will tease you relentlessly!

Either edit the Data/SKSE/Plugins/DeviousCurses.json file, or start a new game and change the settings there. They will be carried over between saves unless you have disabled this.

These are the currently modified quests:

Under Saarthal: the player will be equipped with a Summoner Collar when picking up the Saarthal amulet. (requires creatures to be enabled for sex in the MCM)

The Break of Dawn: the player will get a branding mark after killing malkoran.

A Night to Remember: The player will be equipped with a nudity mark and chain devices after waking up. When talking to Sanguine at the end of the quest the mark is removed and the player is given a magic key.

Hard Answers: When the player interacts with the falmer translation stone tablet they will be equipped with a dwarven cuirass and a heat mark.

The Black Star: When you tough the black star for the first time you are locked in some restraints.

Diplomatic Immunity: While riding the cart your party clothes are magically transformed into restraints.

Proving Honor: When you touch the lever in the barrow you are equipped with silver restraints.

Mind of Madness: Will equip the Madness Plug when starting the quest.

Laid to Rest: You will get tied up when inspecting Alva's journal.

The Man Who Cried Wolf: When Potema is released the binding spell will lock you in restraints instead.

Brelyna's Practice: Both of her spells have additional effects, first putting a random lewd mark on you and second locking you in a pet suit.

Trinity Restored: Nocturnal will give you the Nocturnal Piercing after completing the oath.

Ringmaker: After helping Madesi he "gives" you some additional jewelry including the Lucky Piercings.

Each file is a list of strings that define what themes or exclusions exist. If the file does not exist it will be created while starting the game. Both files can be edited during gameplay, you just need to open and close the MCM to update the device exclusions.

Each entry checks that the device name or the editor id of the Inventory device matches.  It also includes a basic set of logic operators. Here are some examples:

All red devices:

"red"

All red or white devices:

"red | white"

All black leather devices:

"black & leather"

All iron or rusty devices without pears:

"(iron | rust) & !pear"

You can also filter for specific devices by putting the editor id for the inventory device:

"zadx_HR_MaskOfShameInventory"

For themes all devices that match the filter are included, and for exclusions all devices that match the filter are excluded.

For more information or clarity feel free to leave a post or send a DM.

Here is an exact explanation of how Devious Curses works with SlaveTatsNG:

First it checks to see if it can grab the SlaveTatsNG interface. If this fails then there will be no tattoo functionality at all.

This has been tested to work on SlaveTatsNG version 0.8.1

This also requires JContainers to be installed, even though it is not marked as a requirement on the SlaveTatsNG LL page.

Then it checks to see if the Lewd Marks exist within the SlaveTatsNG interface. If you are able to put the lewd mark tattoo on your character by any other means, either using the old SlaveTatsSE MCM page (Follow the instructions on the SlaveTatsNG LL page to do this) or by using the new SlaveTatsNG GUI thing, they will be enabled in the DC MCM.

For the Tattoo Curse to work, you also need Rape Tattoos Continued (And all of its requirements) to be installed.

Common things that cause it to not work correctly:
The SlaveTatsNG cache is not updating. Try installing a newer version of SlaveTatsNG, as the cache is automatically updated now.

You didn't intstall SlaveTatsNG. Devious Curses will not work with any version of SlaveTats except SlaveTatsNG. Go install SlaveTats NG

You accidentally installed Lewd Marks with the glow patch. Reinstall Lewd Marks for Slave Tats and make sure that you don't select glow patch.

Spoiler: Papyrus sucks. If anything is removed from a papyrus script mid-save there is a chance that the script will break. The only thing in this mod that is affected is the MCM. Often there won't be any issue updating. Sometimes there is. The main way to fix this is by running this command in the console:

setstage SKI_ConfigManagerInstance 1

This tells SkyUI to reload all of the instances of mod pages and will often fix the problem on it's own.

In the rare case that this doesn't fix it, you can reset the script using resaver. To do this you need to search for dcurses in the search box and find the script DCurses_MCM under Script Instances. Delete this script. This is the only thing you need to do in resaver. When you save the file in resaver you should make a new version of the save just in case it doesn't work. Load the save you just made in game and enter the command from above. Wait until the game says "MCM: registered _ new menu(s). After that the MCM should work again.

Doing this will not revert any settings because of how the mod stores them between saves.
