Yeah I know, I personally use the Commander, though it seems the save feature defaults the damping to 5 for some reason.

 

I was talking about the balls setting, I simply would like to know if it works for everyone who has them, or simply males, since I don't seem to see it work for female sims.

Sp I've been playing around and I've finally decided to download the Commander. Are we supposed to be able to change the settings while in game ? Because I can't for some reason.

how do you install the command file

I installed this mod and now everytime I enter CAS the game CTD. Here's what my logfile says:

If the installer isn't working, the Readme.html file will tell you where all the files go. Also, why is the installer failing? Is it saying that it can't install RTBP or is it not starting at all? Thanks.

 

 

 

That's odd. I'd suggest doing a full reinstall of RTBP. Let me know what error messages you get and post your log file if it exists.

 

 

 

Hmmm, that's a new one. Anyway could you post your log file? Thanks. Also, screen shots and/or video would be helpful if you're able to capture the error happening.

 

 

Sorry I can't be more helpful. I'll be packaging up the latest DLL into an official preview release soon, after I do some more testing.

Aw, well.. Nevermind. The reason of bug was DD Milking farm + workshop clothes.
I'll send log and vid asap.

Ok I have this at the bottom of the log file where it's in red: "Installer failed!: filesystem error: cannot rename: No such file or directory [C:\Users\19783\AppData\Local\Temp\d3d9.dll] [C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 4\Game\Bin\d3d9.dll]". I did uninstall the rest but i still get that at the bottom.

 

Hmmm... It could be a permission error. You could try running the executable as an administrator. That might fix it.

Hey there, been downlading the mod recently and played around with it, I absolutely love it, it's so nice to be able to change the settings on the fly too, so thank you for your hard work!

 

I only had a little question, the setting "balls" is only for male sims? Or does it also apply to female sims that have a little extra? After testing a little I don't think it applies to them, if not, it could be a welcomed addition  

 

Thank you!

 

The balls detection algorithm (I have to laugh every time I write something like this) works by examining the mesh and does not discriminate based on gender. If the vertices are there, a balls simulator will be created. However, my balls vertex detection method (laughing again) is based on the meshes found here: https://turbodriver.itch.io/wickedwhims/devlog/139574/creating-basic-animations-in-blender-1

 

If you're using a custom mesh, please link me to the mod and I'll see what I can do. Thank you!

Any changes made to "Settings.ini" will not be read until the next time the game is started. The only way to modify the variables on the fly is through the command server. If you'd like the changes to persist, you'll need to execute the "saveSettings" command or select the "Save Settings" option in RTBP Commander (which does the same thing, basically).

 

Fun fact: RTBP Commander doesn't do anything directly. All it does is send commands to RTBP's Command Server. Every time you drag and release a slider, all RTBP Commander does is send a command to RTBP.

It depends on the setting. Some changes may require you to save your settings file and restart your game. The current RTBP Commander release is fairly out of date. The next version will warn you if you need to save and restart your game when changing a setting. I'll be releasing the latest preview version very soon.

Oh, ok ! Thanks for the info. I'll be waiting. 

Again, thanks for all your work.

Thanks for your hard worck, I only have a question.

 

When I enter in CAS abd try to increase or decrease the boobs size the game lag a lot, this happen after the most recent update of the RTBP, any idea?

Thank you for your answers! For the mesh, I basically use either the Noir penises (thick/futanari pornstars ones - https://noiranddarksims-adultworld.blogspot.com/2018/05/ts4-futanari-penis-v11.html?zx=9196fc68f3a3889c) or the SimpleGens ones from Simdulgence (it's on their Patreon).

 

I'll test things a little more and see if I really see a difference when I change the settings even more.

 

I had another question, Simdulgence also have a mod called SimMotion, that adds penis / balls movement to "normal" animations such as walk, stairs etc. Do you think it would conflict with your mod? So far, I didn't really see it conflict but at the same time, I don't think I see the differences on idle animations when I change the balls setting, so could be a thing.

 

I'll keep testing though.

Hi. Im use Real-Time Body Physics 0.4-p2  Settings.ini stopped working, changes are not applied. In general, the physics of the chest has improved a lot, I think it became noticeable in the animations.

Whoops! Should be fixed now. Please redownload and reinstall. Sorry about that. Just had to change a couple lines to fix it. Thanks for reporting the error so quick!

 

 

Everyone Else: A new preview release of RTBP has been released, v0.4-p2. Please try it out and let me know if I've messed anything else up.

 

Change Log:

 

* Breast physics enabled for elder females.

 

* Fixed the lower back issue by adding a vertex selection flag that excludes boundary vertices. At this point, the algorithm is unoptimized and may cause performance issues for those of you with older computers.

 

* Reshade compatibility implemented.

 

* Improved male butt detection.

 

* Other internal fixes not worth mentioning.

 

* Added new settings "(min|max)(X|Y|Z)" to each spring section, that defines how far a simulator can deviate from it's target position on the specified axis. For example "maxX = 0.1" tells RTBP not to let the specified spring go further than 0.1 on the 'X' axis.

 

* Added commands "set(Min|Max)(X|Y|Z) [TARGET] [VALUE]".

 

* Other changes to make RTBP work better with RTBP Commander v0.2 (yet to be released).

[millionserved]

Thanks CPVC, I like the new release of RTBP.  I like having the min and max settings on the spring section, it seems to be working pretty well.  I haven't tried the new Reshade option or the male butt detection yet.  I think the problem with breasts and butts jiggling after you pause the game is back, I'll check again to make sure.

[Ghuraok]

@CPVC Hi ! I'm loving your work and I must say it's quite ambitious and really adds another layer of love to the game. The mod works great with boxers and trousers.

My only issue so far is the lack of physics around the lower part of the butt and no physics at all for the penis/balls (I don't know if they were supported already), I only use the mod for males and I have this mod for bottom/penis :

Is there a way for me to fix it manually ? or is it something hard coded ? If I can, I'd like to help!  I've attached a video so you may better see the problem.

 

Oh, and the RTBP commander works great x I would recommend to add it in the list of files, I had to go through the entire thread to find it haha
 

[alexlll]

@CPVC  I'm really looking forward to the RTBP Commander v0.2 I hope there will be settings for the left and right chest and the ability to save the settings. I have disabled the settings for the male penis and buttocks, but sometimes the finger hangs down for men, (it's good that it's not middle) :-))

At this time, it's hard coded, and the algorithm is very primitive. I'm working on a better way of creating new bones on the fly. In the future, modders may be able to release custom weight maps with their meshes (I'm working on a Blender plugin), but I'd like to figure out a way to do it automatically based on the positions of the body parts. I'd like to automate this as much as possible.

Split settings will be an (optional) feature of RTBP Commander v0.2. You'll be able to right click on a slider and select the "Split/Join Sliders" option from the context menu to toggle it.

 

As you can see from this screenshot, the "Mass" setting has already been split, and I've right clicked on the "Gravity" setting, showing the context menu.

 

As for the finger issue, this is a known problem. I think it has something to do with accessories like rings or something.

[CPVC]

Alright! Would some of you mind trying out RTBP Commander v0.2? If you're up for it, please test it out and let me know if there's anything wrong with it. This build is statically linked, so there are no external DLLs required.

 

Let me know if something isn't functioning properly and I'll fix it as soon as I can. Thank you all so much!

RTBP Commander v0.2 2021-09-15.zip

[cableguy7uk]

Looks nice, just a quick question where does RTBP Commander install???

 

[alexlll]

Spoiler

 

Version 2.0 works fine. The division of the breast into left and right helps a lot, save also works. The only thing I would like to fix is the settings of the sliders, the default maximum values are too high, the Tick Interval parameter does not work yet, if I set it to 1, it still works like 0.1.

P.S. Could you make the breasts swing indefinitely when testing the x y z axes ? (The button is pressed - the chest swings, pressed again - stops). This function is very convenient to use when using animations in which the chest is motionless.

RTBP Commander doesn't need to be installed anywhere. You can execute it from any location. Just make sure RTBP is installed and the Sims 4 is running.

 

RTBP Commander will (should) connect to port 8008 (BOOB) and allow you to communicate to RTBP, via RTBP Commander.

If you set a simulators "damping" value to 0 and execute the test command, the body parts should swing back and forth indefinitely.

 

Everyone else: I'm making progress implementing 3D weight maps that can be applied to meshes at runtime. These are made and fine-tuned in Blender, then exported as files that can be loaded by RTBP. 

 

This will most likely be the default way of adding physics to body parts that don't exist yet in the future, like the butt and dick. It's much more accurate and customizable compared to the current method and will make it much easier to add new body parts.

Thanks it works. But I would like to be able to fine-tune this moment, so that it would be placed in a separate category with its own settings. It seems to me that this will be a demanded function, and if you turn on the random switching of the xyz axes, it will be generally ideal.
I would also like you to add a button for loading settings in RTBP Commander.

Hmmm... So maybe a command where you can put RTBP into a sort of "range testing mode", where the body parts will bounce back and forth continuously on a certain axis and every couple seconds or so, the axis changes? Is that what you're thinking? I'm not sure I understand completely.

 

As for loading settings, you want RTBP to be able to load custom setting files that aren't located at "RTBP/Settings.ini" at runtime? Is that correct?

Your mod works great for in-game interactions but when sims have sex it is not so noticeable, a lot of animations have bad chest physics, enabling the "range testing mode" command greatly improves the situation. If you could learn to recognize ww animations and automatically add breast swaying to them (you can do without physics) that would be great.

 

When i load RTBP it doesn't separate the settings for left and right chest and I have to enter the value manually. Load custom setting files that aren't located at "RTBP/Settings.ini" this is a great idea.
