As for checking for DLCs, easy.  Get the Mod ID from the Form ID:  (ActorID.GetFormID() / 16777216) As Int, will return 0-255 for the ModID.  You could then use Game.GetModName(that ID from the equation) to obtain the name as a string to test against.  Only test from 0-254, 255 are temps.

Thanks for the tip.

I like the talking back and forth between Katarina and Laura during the quests.

 

How about Laura will give you the option to wear more than just the belt an plug after the first time you complete Locked Away?  She will pay you extra for each device you wear.

Glad you like it.

 

I don't want to add more devices to Locked Away. That would make it incompatible with other quests.

I must say, this is one of my favorite mods on this site. I recently came back to Skyrim after a long hiatus, and was pleasantly surprised to see so many updates to this mod. DCL has always been a staple of my Loverslab mod collection, but I think this mod will have to become a must-install as well. It has all the charm and fun of the old Captured Dreams shop, but it's modern and polished to boot.

Thank you so much.

Phenomenal mod! Everything's really well polished and I especially loved the quests. Honestly, I really hope there's more in the future because they're the best part of the mod by far. Definitely a must-install from me because of how much it offers

That means a lot. Thanks.

How tight is the timer for 'On The Clock'? I just did a delivery to Riften, I went straight there, no fast travel, run as much as I could but I did take the road and get into a fight with a bear and I failed the timer. The dialog with Laura makes it clear she's not happy

Also is Laura getting more like Master? She asked about my chastity belt, I said it was making me touch myself and she put me in an armbinder!

The timer for a regular delivery is 9 ingame hours and a fast delivery is 6 ingame hours. That should be enough for a delivery to riften.

 

She's not really like Master, but she does kinda step into her shoes in Locked Away.

just did a play through (not finished yet) and I have to say, you have authored a very creative and well done mod.  thank you for sharing your work.  It is absolutely fabulous!  Kudos!

That's really kind. Thank you.

I'm having an issue. I was sent to go collect some restraints from someone, but before I could talk to them a fight broke out (vampires) and the quest target was downed. She got back up (I'm assuming quest targets are essential), but now when I try to talk to her, she says hi, I ask about restraints, and then she quickly says ~3 things in a row, all on top of each other, and the conversation ends.

 

Any ideas on how to fix this?

I don't know how it would break the dialogue there. What were the 3 things she said in a row?

When rescuing the first slave, the trap went off, but nothing happened after that. I went into free-camera and found that the guy who was walking towards the cells got caught on some items that had blocked the way by accident (a couple of dropped enemy weapons and a kettle) and couldn't pathfind. After trying to pathfind, he stepped on the wrong item and got splatted against a wall and died.

 

So, now I am stuck, and unable to progress. Is there a console command I can use to fix this?

 

Resurrecting her probably won't fix it. You'll have to go back to a save from before it went wrong.

The physics randomly damaging or killing someone is just something Skyrim does. I can't do anything about it. It can be kinda funny though.

V3.13 now also has a Russian translation for the SSE version.

Thanks to tznvlw for the conversion and to stas2503 for the translation.

For the first, I couldn't tell what she said because Fus Ro D'oh didn't slow it down, unlike all of the other dialogue in this mod. It just flashed by 3 messages in less than a second and the conversation ended.

 

For the second, I did have to reload an old save. I think, since that particular one has the player only able to see in a certain area, you could move the NPC's spawn point closer to the target location (probably just at the top of the stairs) to reduce the chance of this happening, but it's not that important since it is obviously an edge-case.

[Xuvish]

For a future update, how about a short follow up quest to a strange rock?

 

Here is my suggestion for such a quest, but feel free to use what you want if you want to do anything at all.

 

It could be something like that Laura figures out how to make restraints from it, but needs a test subject.

 

Laura would allow you to wear them for a certain amount of time and you would have to get out before the time expires.

 

The quests could be going to different blacksmiths and fences to see if they and unlock it.  You can configure the number of times in the MCM.

 

You can go to a number of blacksmiths/fences to unlock you.  Depending on their level they may be able to unlock one or more of the devices.  If you get out, there would be a reward.  If you don't get out in time you can ask Laura to release you, or to extend the time, but you wouldn't get any rewards.

 

If you want to make it more hard core, you could always make a bet with Laura instead, where if you lost there would be certain consequences, like being locked in longer, or having to make some deliveries.

Having some issues with the "Blending In " quest. I saved after agreeing to have sex with Holden, then got off.

I came back on this morning, loaded up the save and the animations broke. I think it ended before it should of, because I can move around but Holden just says "This person is busy" whenever I interact with him. The "Follow Holden" step says completed, "Wait for Katarina" is not completed, and it seems no matter how long I wait, nothing happens.

The cage I'm supposed to be in is also still locked by a key with me outside of it.

It would seem unlocking the cage with console than opening it fixed everything. Quest is completed.

Then maybe something went wrong with Fus Ro D'oh. Not sure though.

 

I don't think moving them will make much of a difference. The physics killing someone is so rare and random that there's not really something I can do about it.

I actually have something kinda like that in my notes, but I don't know if it'll be part of a side quest, repeatable quest or story quest.

The cage door could actually have something to do with why it sometimes breaks. But there isn't a consistent way to reproduce it, so it's really hard to test.

Got the 3 location finding of restraints, Mzulft is one of them (locked, can't enter without anther quest).  Not sure about the other locations (Ansilvund and Geirmund's Hall).  Downside of using dungeons that are quest locked, means having to do quests (and possible prerequisite quests just to get to the restraints does diminish the "quest" you're on.

Wow, that is handy, didn't think anyone would have added that, a locked out dungeon list is more for modders than anything.  Also, not sure, but in Geirmund's Hall the chest was way under water, meaning swimming and as soon as I opened the chest and took it out, frozen under water as the equips happened, meaning if it was a regular person, they'd have drowned, guess there is no way for it to only equip on ground (as in not swimming), to avoid this, or perhaps "delay" the equip until you're not swimming?  Makes more sense if you open it while not under water.

Creating a formlist from these location and set the condition to exclude all of the list ? ?

That would be the smart way, I guess. Though I don't know if it's technically possible?

I was really surpised it exists. I didn't think I'd find anything, but it's perfect for modders.

 

Don't know if there's anything to do about the chest underwater though. I don't know of a way to check if chests are underwater and making a looping timer that waits till you're on ground isn't a good idea.

it might come in handy to be used more than once. And sounds to me much easier to maintain and detect a mistake or add/remove a location.

 

Now, that makes me wonder if Bethesda dind't do it already ?

(Nevermind. If it's smart, it's 110% granted they didn't )

Yes, that is good, you know which areas to drag into the formlist in the CK.  As for the underwater, here is a good idea:   

 

1.  Make an ability spell, call it "Happy Happy Joy Joy" (or something), have "Waterbreathing" on it and add a scripted effect, that scripted effect will have the function call to "equip the items necessary" in the Effect start.

2.  Make a (gasp) Perk, this perk will have a few requirements:

   1.  Player isn't swimming.

   2.  Player isn't sitting.

   3.  VMQuestVariable (your quest that does the equipping), "HappyBoxFunTime" = True

 

   The perk will only active the "Happy Happy Joy Joy" if the requirements are met.

 

3.  In the Effect start for the scripted part, set "HappyBoxFunTime" = False, then make sure the player ISN'T DEAD and then call the function to do the equipping.

4.  Change the picking up of the item to set the "HappyBoxFunTime" to True. 

5.  OnPlayerLoadGame, make sure the player has the "Happy Happy Joy Joy" perk, if not, add it quietly.

 

That should fix the issues.  You could also add a reduction to damage to the "Happy Happy Joy Joy" ability to reduce damage from enemies who may find you during the equip and typically murder you before you're released (which really causes grief when the UI is off).

 

EDIT: 

 

Depending on how your equip function goes, you may need to put the "HappyBoxFunTime" to False in the Effect Finish section instead of the Start, though it probably is a good idea to do this anyways and check for it being set in the Start, to avoid people calling the spell manually.

 

EDIT 2:  After playing to get to Mzulft, I had to see a blacksmith first (for the first 2, catsuit and arm brace), got the "Bag of Restraints", got to the third in Mzulft (was the gag), got back, she only unlocked the gag, the "Bag of Restraints" is still in the inventory after I completed it.  A blacksmith removed the items.

[neosuduno]

I understand the need for a time limit, but the limit does not take into account if they will be available all the time or not. It also takes an average of 12 in game hours to reach Markarth and Riften, and a bit longer to reach Winterhold. The time limits are just too strict. Would be nice if we could control them.

[CanoLathra]

When you add in the list of quest-locked places, please remember to make it also apply to the delivery radiant quest. I just got a delivery for the Nightingale Sanctuary, which is only unlocked at the end of ~3-4 (real-time) hours of quests. Kinda impossible to make the delivery unless you are already done with that quest line.

[CanoLathra]

Also, as neosuduno pointed out, if you get a delivery to Markarth or Windhelm, you're almost better off just instantly failing it and getting another, because unless you have some way to make yourself crazy fast you won't be able to complete it in time.

Thanks for the tip, but I'm not going to add it. I don't want to add all that for something that happens so rarely, it adds more things that could go wrong and it could be bad for performance.

 

About the bag. I'll make sure it's removed at the end.

I recently made it shorter to make it more challenging, but I think it's too challenging.

I'll change it.

That list is only for clearable locations and the delivery quest already excludes those so I can't use that list.

But I'll make sure it won't select it again.

By the way, I know that the timer is a bit tight right now. But I don't think that it's actually impossible. Did you change the timescale in your game?

I saw neosuduno's post before I got a delivery to Windhelm, so I made a save so I could do some tests. I have not made any changes to timescale in my game.

 

First I tried fast travel. That was way too slow, as was to be expected. Then I gave myself infinite stamina and sprinted the whole way. Also too slow. I then tried riding a horse with infinite stamina and discovered that sprinting with no armor and riding a horse are similar in terms of speed, and it was still too slow. I then used console commands to triple my movement speed, and that was enough to get there with time to spare.

 

With the sprinting and the horse, I was typically in Windhelm, sprinting towards the palace (which was the destination) when the time ran out, so it is indeed quite close (running on foot I ran out of time just after entering the city, on horse I ran out just before the palace entrance), but that was Windhelm, which has a more direct path between it and Whiterun. If the delivery had been to the College, or to Markarth, then it would be an even longer journey. And while there may have been a more optimal route than the one I took, the fact remains that I was using infinite stamina, which means that without that cheat there is no way I could have done it.

 

So yeah, the timer is definitely impossible for Windhelm and farther without 'cheating'.

[Sheliss]

I started the Quest "Seeking the Curse" and the Questmarker points to a non-interactive barrel in Greenspring Hollow.

 

Is there any way to reallocate the Questtarget, skip this Step or something else to solve this?

I'm working on adjusting the timer based on the hold.

You can go back to the shop to cancel the quest.

 

Can you post a screenshot of what it's pointing at? I want to take a look at it.

Thanks.

Someone else had the same issue with the same barrel and I still can't figure out why it would select that one. It's supposed to pick stuff in the containers category. This barrel is a static object, that's a different category. It's strange that this happened to someone else with the same barrel. If the selecting is bugged, you'd think I'd have gotten more reports about different static barrels.

Do you maybe have a mod that changes it somehow?
