Hi,

Having some issues with Ivy.

Using Random Shenanigans II, when Ivy get's "drafted" into the action, her audio cuts out and I no longer hear it. Has this happens to anyone ?

Please check in the related mod's thread. I don't support other mods. (Or rather, I don't use Anim framework mods at this point and I have no idea where to look).

Random question of the day:

 

Reginald, do you have a brother/cousin/frienemy named Dewey and does he fib... a lot?

 

 

Keep up the great work. 

[Miyuki Takara]

Good mod. keep it up.

Thank you.

It’s just one of things Ivy says when picking up a magazine.  Maybe I’m not hearing her right.  “Anal fibbers Dewey”.

I may be the dumb one. ?

Yes I remember now. Haha.. I don't even get my own references..

I'm often surprised myself by some lines (still) like the Bauble/Beeple line.. I still don't really get that one.

Development Update

Initiated working through the buglist. Working on Red Rocket Basement integration for Ivy. I'm also playing through Nuka World to figure out what I need to add/change to Ivy's integration there, looks like this is 95% finished as well.

 

Created a full BA2 packaged version of Ivy, which works well, this was a good test for me on shipping 'the release' version.

5.0 is going to be far cleaner than the previous version.

I dont know if its been asked before but can you do something about XDI? I remember last time i used Ivy with XDI some of the options were the same on the list.

[PapaDookie]

This may have been coveredsorry i did a search and tried reading through some pages but is a lot in the thread so if answered already sorry.

is it possible to give Ivy a custom body and skin ? would love to give her one of the more "porn star" looking sex kitten body shapes that are out there to go along with the whole giant sex addict thing she has going

Top post on XDI's nexus page, at the bottom. Wolfmark's kept the *.dll updated after adding an option to it, and the readme.txt he has in the google drive file link has everything you'll need to add/change in the XDI.ini for it to work [it's one to two lines].

Run it myself, works flawlessly.

You can make your own custom body for Ivy in Bodyslide. This is my Ivy.I'm constantly tweaking her to get exactly what I want.

Just pick the outfit(s) you want to use in bodyslide. Adjust them the way you want it to look on Ivy.  Then build it. When you put them on Ivy (or any1 else) in the game, it will be the shape you built in bodyslide.

Here's a simple tutorial you can check out. Or you can go to Youtube and look at the numerous Bodyslide tutorials available there.

Development Update

Finished Red Rocket, started full integration with Ivy. Oh she will have things to say about her Sauna..

 

Much more info and screens in the Red Rocket Basement Topic, including a video of the entire basement in it's current state (minus Sauna).

 

 

 

[Reginald_001]

Many of Ivy's lines were created in such a way as to be relevant to many different types of situations. I really LOVE it when she comes up with lines that are just 100% appropriate and well placed. She just seems to adore the Sauna and keeps visiting it out of her own volition. It's nice to join her and listen to her babbling on..

 

But when she said this, about to get out of the Sauna, you could pick me up from the floor.

 

 

The Sauna bed has room for TWO persons. NPC-NPC or Player-NPC.

It uses the lying down animation and players/NPC's keep their eyes open while lying down.

@Bardonan Posted this back on page 50, (cant get multiquotes to work for me... This is what I get for being a lurker

 

Yes, this file will do that for you 

 

Sorry for the lag.

I used the Radio Patch 2 version .esp and kept the script included.

 

This file will allow you to use custom body meshes and textures.

I included a set of CBBE body meshes and 4K textures for a default fill.

BodySlide support is also included for her nude body. 

It will be listed in the drop-down as Ivy Body.

If you want physics I'm sure you know what to do.

 

Sorry but Ivy cannot use a unique skeleton without changing her race.

I have yet to find a way to give her unique facegen textures.

It seems you can create a dependency, but that texture isn't actually used.

So no unique face textures or skeleton.

 

Thanks Reg, everyone enjoy

 

I've played with it here and there to give Ivy Custom textures.... But alas I am a N00b in modding.

on the the description page (Very first) @Reginald_001 has instructions using Looksmenu for Ivy customization (this also works with ALL NPCs. I have tweaked Heather, Ellen, Curie, Cait AND Piper this way before)

The Dunning Kruger Effect and how it shaped Ivy's Development Update

This is a long one, folks.. got some things to say.. I finished up RR, adding Ivy integration, think I found a way to integrate Ivy without having RR to slave Ivy's mod as a separate branch, looking into that now. That would be pretty exciting (for me). Went through everything I did for Nuka World so far; to prepare for the final lap of development for that. I finished the book (not sure if I wrote that before). And had a small brainstorm on Far Harbor content.

 

This was a major breakthrough for me. I always had problems with filling aliases, never really grasping the underlying mechanisms with keywords and how to dynamically fill aliases. I'm still struggling with a lot of that. But now that I figured out I can use keywords to fill certain aliases, integration should be much easier to create and I should be able to create less dependencies as well for Ivy's base mod. I'm not suffering from the DK effect, I know I still need to learn a lot, but with persistence.. I'm getting there.

 

Created detailed testing instructions and am thinking about the best way to distribute the test build for Ivy.

I will need only a few testers and each will get a specific build, tailored to them, differing from the base build in slight manners hard to find if you don't have the base release. In this way if it ever leaks, I'll know exactly who has leaked it and they will face some (legal) hell EU style..

 

Important Development Update

I am working on a set of security measures that Ivy will employ to actively block certain mods or race-changes through scripting, these include some well known multi-follower mods such as AFT and MF. If these mods are enabled, Ivy will inform you that she will unrecruit automatically after 5 loads, giving you time to clear out these conflicting mods. She will remain ingame but you will not be able to recruit her. Override the recruitment through the console or another mod and she will not like that at all. These scripts are fully embedded into her base code and the source will not be made available. If you remove the scripts, Ivy will not function (at all). Basically put, the security measures have been put inside her heart and you'll need to rip it out in order to remove them, killing her in the process...

 

The reason I did all this is that for every 9 out of 10 support requests, at one point or another these mods were at the source of the problems... But also to make users aware of what exactly works and what does not. I think that in-game feedback from Ivy herself is a far superior way to inform players of incompatibilities than forcing them to read some long FAQ. The help should be there, when players need it, not before.

 

Race Mods

Other mods that Ivy will never (ever) allow are mods that turn her into Hentai races (nonanku or whatever the F# it's called), or anything like that, don't even bother to ask me to make her compatible with such race altering mods, it will never happen and Ivy will not function with such mods active (she will not work, her quests will not run, you will not find her in the basement). Ivy is very much aware of her base code and if you tamper with it, this will reflect in game. Some alterations to her base code are punishable by in-game death by Ivy.. (good luck to you if you ever make her that mad).

 

Other race mods will be allowed (e.g. the Servitron or mods that turn her into a robot/synth body).

Each mod must be added as exclusion to Ivy's base mod, forcing a new release to the public, so a myriad of race mods that are allowed will already be in her first release. New ones can be added at request.

 

Ivy will allow a lot of modding and customization.

Having said all that, Ivy will allow 99.9% of all normal changes, such as hair mods, skin mods, changing her looks, clothing, base stats etc..etc.. almost everything except for her race can be modded. A special mod-kit and instructions on how to mod Ivy will be made available for modders, so they can add her to anim frameworks, implement custom keywords, etc..etc..etc.. all by using her 'API' esp file. So do not worry about being able to customize Ivy to your liking this will mostly be possible, except for modding her to a custom race.

 

How to bypass the AFT / MF block

I will allow you to bypass Ivy's blocking of multi-follower mods, you will need to add the companionivy_multifollower_override.esp file into your load order. It will embed itself into Ivy thereby voiding her warrantee (I will know that it's active through logging and Load Orders). This will make it so that unsuspecting users (those that don't know what they're doing and are suffering from the Dunning Kruger effect) will become aware that they are actively seeking out to use a mod that breaks their warrantee. If you take this out of your load order before asking for support, Ivy will break and support will not be given (at least, by me, I'm sure there are always helpful people around)..

 

Ivy's Size

Ivy's size is fixed in her base scripts (the ones I put into her heart) this cannot be overridden. Change her size through 'setscale' in the console and Ivy will tell you to fuck off (basically) and grow back to normal size in the blink of an eye. Do it to her many times and you will fuck up her mood, causing her affinity to drop. Do it too much and she might get so pissed off that she'll turn her HyperCombat on you..

(For those that didn't get the hint by now, most of these security measures are put in place to prevent modders from turning Ivy into a child)

 

How to bypass the Race lock

You can't, never will be able to.

 

Last Thing To Say About That

- I am keeping an eye on the multi follower mods and their development.

- Should specific patches come out that fix the underlying issues then I will always be open re-examine my stance on them.

- Should specific bugs or incompatibilities pop up in Ivy's security systems then exceptions can be made for certain mods (e.g. False Positives will be dealt with). But I think I did this right and I don't think there will be any issues there. Testing will/should reveal them before release.

 

Very last thing to say about Multi Follower mods.

I am working on a proof of concept for my own multi follower mod (It's just a little sperm cell right now so don't get your panties in a twist yet ), one without the issues that the others come with, by creating a whole new implementation of the follower scripts from scratch, making it so that for each integration part; the right follower is automatically chosen, or can be overridden by users through MCM. The mod should allow Ivy to function properly (and as designed) without the interference of other scripts. Under such circumstances Ivy would be fully supported (and aware) of multiple followers.

Thank you. As much as I like and appreciate the other multi follower mods out there, they either have way too many features and/or too buggy. If you can make a new multi follower mod that works in tandem with Ivy then I'm sure many people will find it a godsend lol

The weirdest bug I ever had with one of those mods while I was testing compatibility with Ivy was that Ivy would suddenly just start walking towards Covenant.. then she would circle around it, then she would warp back to her basement (I knew because I had her tracker on). I warped to the basement, she was gone, went out to Sanctuary.. and there she was on her merry way back to Covenant.. So I was curious and followed her.. again all the way to covenant.. she circles around it... then warps back to her basement, exits and sets her merry way back to Covenant.. It completely borked my save (luckily I had a manual save ready). I still have no idea how they managed that.

That..... is insane. I mean not to say Ivy is insane, but for a moment she kinda lived up to her name right there lol 

 

EDIT: In all seriousness though, I know that the follower mod is lower in your priority list but I'm sure many of us will be looking forward to it!

 @Reginald_001 I can not say that is phenomenal the quality of his work with Ivy, the depth and detail in detail is to impress, I find really inspiring, each update in the development process of the new version is a show

Security deployments and custom test versions are a refinement I never imagined, I loved it,
and very interesting DK effect. how is this very common...

Big hug!
