sexbound SxB - Relayer

[red3dred]

        Sexbound Relayer:

 

• Sexbound Relayer, Relayerer, or Layer Reorganizer is a simple mod that aims to improve the depth of Sexbound animations by reorganizing the animation layers.

 

 

Sexbound Relayer is aiming to reorganize the animation layers during Sexbound animations to permit better use of layers, to allow for better distribution of layers during animation, permitting the images of the two characters to "intermingle" and also permitting new tricks for animation, such as for example, semi-transparent characters/ translucent penetration, or the wrapping of one character around the other. For reference, a few images are attached in the spoiler.
 

Spoiler

Oculob Example:

Slime creature, allows the other actor to be visible through them.

Trick used: Oculob's Body is transparent (65% opacity) and the back-arm layer has a fully opaque body texture.

 

Lamia Support:

Lamia character coils around partner.

Trick used: The snake's length is distributed among the several animation layers (arm front, body, arm back)

 

Also attached, is a reference of the layers, and their new depth;

Spoiler

Left side: z-layer of the animation part.
Left column: Actor 1's parts.

Middle column: Actor 2's parts.

Right column: Actor 3's parts.

Parts whose' Z-layer is lower will be displayed under other parts above it.
Actor 1 is normally, behind actor 2, which is behind actor 3, etc, but changes per position.

SxB - Relayer 0.9.pak

 

 

 

Compatibility:

This mod is a patch, thus, it shouldn't normally conflict with other mods or cause issues with animations.
This mod, is however, not fully tested, and some layers maybe misaligned.
Please report any such issues and feel free to suggest other changes that you think may help with the animation's depth!

 

I would like to finish off, thanking the community, for still keeping the API going strong, i still get messages of people wanting into the Sexbound official modding Discord, and i see new content left and right, new names, and the best part, people are enjoying themselves. Thank you all for supporting not just me, but this game, and the Sexbound API. Merry modding!

Reserving the second post for a quick QA;

Why is this mod available like this, and not as a file in the LoversLabs file system?

• I've tried uploading the file to their website's file system around 4~5 times, wrote the topic several times, uploaded all the files, aaaaaand... time out. Nope, failed several times, deleted all my text i had written, removed all my uploads, and just vanished! I got tired of trying and rewriting the same stuff over and over, and decided "Screw it, i'll have to upload it this way". I'm sorry if this inconveniences some users, but it's the only way i've managed to upload the file and write a topic, since i've tried uploading it several times, with weeks in-between attempts.

I need more coffee and i'll take a look at that...

Looking at the error, it's definitely not this mod. Relayer does not change the title-screen/character creator.

This means the mod is not being loaded properly, and maybe the cause of the problem. Do make sure that the _metadata file is visible when opening the mod's folder, when using the folder method, otherwise the game will break. For example, this is how the same mod is installed in my testing branch;

... Yeah the Shoggoth Race Mod, i thought the above would be clear but i'll reiterate:

It's not installed correctly, do fix that and see if the problem persists.

aww i see now sorry mate ! thx you !

Looks like you did not install a race menu extender mod.  When the game is loaded, it will choose a playable race at random for the character creation screen, even if you never go into it for that session.  Without any extender mod, there is a ((n-7)/n)% chance (where n = the number of loaded playable races) that the race selected does not have a slot available for it to be displayed, and this causes that particular CharCreationPane  crash.  Now to see if submitting the reply results in the post being duplicated again...

That's very good information to know, didn't realize the game would literally crash without a race extender installed!

Would it be possible for this to be uploaded in 7z?

Yes, albeit i'd recommend not trying to poke around in the relayer, it is merely a ton of patches to the animation file. Not kidding, this mod only has 3 files inside of it, two patching into the animations, and it's required _metadata.

If you really want to know what is in those files, i could provide the ZIP i guess. Can't provide a 7z because i don't have 7-zip. And i really, really hope you don't want a zip because you're trying to unpack a PAK file. Because that's not how you use PAK files...

Is this compatible with Mollopod edit? Since they are a slug-people with long bodies, could it be possible to apply the same change as you did to Lamias?

Would require remaking the support, but in essence, yes. Spreading their length through the layers to allow them to wrap their partners is completely plausible.

I'm writing through time, I have a problem. I downloaded a full package of sex mods for my favorite game, also putting this patch on layers in order to enjoy cute evil creatures. But they disappear! During the animation, they are simply not there, and my hero is enjoying the air. As such, I have few mods from steam and those for translating and improving the game. Are you sure this patch doesn't conflict with any others? Maybe I installed it wrong somehow? Need consistency?

Despite the poor translation from likely Google, i grasp someone is having Sexbound issues and blaming mods at random! Classic, really.

This patch consists entirely of two patches, and that's it. If installed incorrectly, it likely just wouldn't do anything. If you can see your character in the animation, then this mod is likely working perfectly fine.

As usual though, a report and a finger pointed don't help much when we only know 1% of the story. To properly ask for help, and even more so in this unrelated mod, please provide a log.

Quote

So, to better report issues, try providing a description of the issue and recreating the issue in-game, then providing a log file.

To find the log file, it should be within your Starbound installation directory, then the storage folder. You should see a text file named starbound.log (Or simply starbound, a plain text file). Paste it into your response as a attached file, or use PasteBin, whichever you prefer. Then users can look into your issues with the necessary information at hand.

I know this mod is a requirement for the Lamia support, but this mod does not include the Lamia support.
If you do not have the Lamia support, then i can't really help you there, races default to human.

For better support, i also need a log file provided by your game, and it tells me everything i need to know to help.

I would prefer if you've sent the log file in the Lamia Support Thread, and i can provide proper help.

yo, quick question: this would not affect sxb reborn, right?

I do believe it does, yes. Same animation file, same series of values altered. Last i remember i asked Erina the same!

Was a while back, but i haven't heard anything of that yet, otherwise i'd have to fix/update Lamia to not need it anymore. But anyhow, should be needed/affect Reborn still.

"I did my best and put the files in the mod, but when I launched the game, nothing happened. I want you to help me by explaining in detail what I need to do."

 

If you'd like, I can also help you write a clearer or more formal version in English depending on who you're sending it to.
