Sexlab Approach Redux

Hello there, first and foremost, great mod. I had an earlier version and it worked fine on its own, Baka knows how to create beautiful mods ❤️. Now I got an issue the moment I decided to install baboDialogue 5.71 version AND to update approach to the latest 3.61 version. First, i was forced into a new playthrough cause I had issues with babo, but ok,, then I found out that Approach's mcm wouldn't "listen" to the slider changes I made in Babo or vice versa i think,, before I updated approach I had noticed to my amazement that whatever changes I made in the  "beauty" sliders in one applied to the other,, no such thin in the updated version. But ok,, didn't bother me all that much,, I am only saying this cause it  might be related to the fact that Approach isn't working for me at all. After a lot of research and effort I found out that papyrus was complaining that it couldn't find certain keywords. Keywords that definately do not exist in SexLab Aroused eXtended 29.0  but most likely in Baka's version of it. Now I am seriously notentirely sure that a few  missing keywords is the main reason behind Approach not firing any type of event,, despite me tuning its MCM exactly as I had always had it back in its earliest version, or even more intense. I have tried toggling on and off the nakedarmor option, no luck,, of course I have the toggle unique npcs on, etc. I keep getting some notifications in game when a Slapp event occurs  but that's mostly due to Babo's events. Based on some previous experience those two don't play well with  each other even with the compatibility option toggled on. I also have SHH by Baka. I am not sure what to do? risk installing Baka's version of SLAX mid-playthrough?  Even reset quest doesn't work. Having to make more changes in  armor  keywords and the plugins I made in Edit?  and Potentially risking other mods going haywire? Or is it something else entirely?  Any ideas or input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! 

ok after nearly a week's worth of troubleshooting, I found out something interesting. Just to make it clear, I am still on Oldrim, so that might be an important factor, so Sexlab Approach for whatever reason DOESn't play well with babodialogue, I checked papyrus, tested all sorts of different angles with sexlab aroused, keywords, dependencies what have you.... no luck. Untill I got the inspiration to mess around with the load order and boom, voila, if you load Sexlab Approach before baboDialogue, Approach works like a charm, BUT Babo goes brain-dead. I tried a few tricks, a clean save and re-activating the babo plugin, NADA. Resetting quest, nope. So, unless there is something else that could potentially get in between their "relationship" like Sexlab Horrible harassment, or I dunno, survival? I have not the slightest idea why two mods that are built to be compatible simply....aren't. Perhaps it's  different for Special Edition, I wouldn't know. Anyway, still it's an amazing mod, well worth having in the load order, BUT keep in mind, if you are on legendary and want both babo and approach, it might not go as well you would like. Ahhh also, Baka's version of aroused is based on 28b, not the latest 29 version of Slax, something to keep in mind if you want to give your aroused a once over.

Small question, does this have a function for npc's to approach each other? And if not, will it play well with the regular (up14569_Approach_JPPlus_English_Trans_(Custom2)_SSE) Version?

[nopse0]

Fixed a couple of bugs in 3.62 with help of Claude (timeout for BackHug mini-game + consequences afterwards). This patch is for original 3.62 version, not for the one posted here, you have to merge them, if you want both. Btw., if you are using "Shattered" with Schlitzohr's settlements, you only have "unique npc's" in the game, so you have to enable them in Baka's MCM, in order that anything happens at all.

 

Next fix: FrontHug, SweetKiss had the same problem.

 

MyChanges-SLApproach-02.7z

 

Note: The timeout for the struggle mini-game still sometimes doesn't trigger. Seems to happen, when the scan interval for new events is shorter than the mini-game timeout, so maybe a racing condition. At least I didn't have this problem, when I made the scan interval longer then the timeout, but maybe this was just coincidence.

3.62

Made the thing so females approach instead of males, let this overwrite the normal 3.62 but be aware that my approach blocks meles from approaching and the pc stills needs to be female.

 

3.70/3.71

For 3.70 i did a esl flagged patch, works the same, should load after sl approach.

 

No update needed, 3.70 works fine for 3.71

Hello there. If I wanted to enable females to approach without disabling males approaching, do you think that is possible? I assume I would have to remove the (male) = 1 condition in the dialogues entirely but I am not sure what to do in quest aliases

subject.samesex(askref) You probably need to delete this, they are at:

SSLAppAsk2Helper > alias 2/3 > condition 18

SLAppPCRapeHelper > alias 2 > condition 19

 

subject.getissex(male) Same thing.

SLApproachScanningVisitor > alias 2 > condition 3

SLApproachScanQuest > all alias > condition 0

SLApproachScanLovers > all alias > condition 0

 

This is the hard one, you probable will need to edit this multiple times until it works.

SLApproachScanBypasserQuest > alias 0 > condition 1 > subject.getissex(male)

SLApproachScanBypasserQuest > alias 1 > condition 1 > subject.getissex(female)

I don't know how to make this work for everyone, if nothing work you have to edit the scrip, something i couldn't do so i did the patch how i did, good luck.

Gave it a go and it seems to have worked. Thanks for the precise instructions, it made the edits very easy to do. I didn't mess with the scanbypasserquest aliases as I couldn't figure out it's purpose, might be a leftover from the original approach mod. Any advice for quickly removing the getissex(male) condition from the dialogue? There's way too much dialogue to go through it all one by one.

Ideally you would make a script but since you probably can't like me, do what's in the spoilers (both) or download my patch and do what is on the second spoiler, remember you have to patch the quest again if you do.

Also if you haven't make it into a overwrite patch, it will be super easy to update.

Spoiler

Copy "dialogue topic" into an overwrite esp

On the new esp hold alt and double click "dialogue topic"

With shift + click select multiple records and them right click "compare selected" based on you pc how many records you can select at once may vary (ram based limit) with 16gb and a i5 my limit is at 3k, but try to work sets of 2k.

At the top of the screen is a search box called "by value" type in it male) = 1

Here you can directly right click and delete from select records, but you don't want to do that because there are dialogues that have both female and male conditions so they don't show up in dialogue. most of them are debug other are wips or discarded dialogues but you don't want to edit them so...

Change their value to 0 so they are mark so you can deleted everything but the marked dialogues.

Once you have gone through everything you'll need to check the dialogues one by one and also delete the dialogue that have the female condition.

Spoiler

If you are jumping here directly read the following other wise ignore: You can hold alt and double click "dialogue topic" to open everything and with shift click you can select multiple records and them right click "compare selected records".

 

Since there are so few dialogues now (Should be around 1k) you can select everything and look again for male) = 0

Now all the lines here are Subject.GetIsSex(Male) = 0, look for it, right click and "Remove from selected records" repeat for every line.

You should be done.

That's an scripted outcome, can't be edited with xedit as far as i know.

how about reduce the chance of getting backhugged and increase the chance of getting spanked? like 20% backhugged, 80% spanked.

There is a no hug faction, you can try to give that faction to everyone or yourself with spid and no one should hug you, i can't think of anything else.

 

name: slapp_NoBackHugFaction

id xx6048AB

 

I don't know how to use spid, so can't help you there.

Has someone ever got the prostitution feature of this mod working ? According to the AI, there seems to be a circular path with slapp_ProstitutionFaction

Is BaboDialogue required to break this circle, or how do you get prostitution working ? AI is saying this:

 

Yes, NPCs can be in slapp_ProstitutionFaction, but SL Approach does not appear to initialize ordinary NPCs into it.

What I found:

• The faction is defined by SL Approach: SexLabApproach-decompressed.xml:1314-1317.
• It is wired as a property on SL Approach scripts, not assigned to NPC records: SexLabApproach-decompressed.xml:244100-244106.
• The only source-code mutation is slapproachbasequestscript.psc:884-891.
• That function is called by ProstitutionPlus() only after successful prostitution sex: SLAppPCSexQuestScript.psc:1002-1010.

The first successful prostitution adds the NPC to the faction, presumably at rank 0. Later successful prostitution raises the rank by one. However, the dialogue condition requires prostitution faction rank >= 1, so the first-time path is circular:

1. Must already have prostitution rank 1.
2. To complete prostitution and raise the rank, the prostitution dialogue must first be available.

GetFactionRank() returning -2 means the actor is not a member, which matches your Poventus log.

There is no evidence in this repository that BaboDialogue adds actors to this faction. BaboDialogue is only used for reputation/event integration. An NPC could still be placed in the faction externally through:

• an ESP/ESL patch
• SPID distribution
• console command or a scripted mod
• an existing saved-game state

But that assignment is not present in the SL Approach plugin/source itself. The most likely explanation is a design bug in the first-prostitution dialogue conditions.

Anyone come across this bug in their game?  Whenever an event happens (like spanking or asking for sex), the npc that did the event is no longer interactable.  You can't even see their name when you hover over them.  No talking, no nothing.

It could be related to Horrible Harassment but I think it's this mod.  I'm running AE on 1170.

[LynErso666]

Some people may not mind the possibility of the game-breaking incident where someone spanks or backhugs you during an actor event like mounting a horse, or working at an enchanting table, but I don't. It pretty breaks player animations with no hope of recovery without loading your game when that occurs.

This mod has an unstable lack of safety checks in its scripting (pretty immaculate scripting for Babo, I can tell they've been practicing, I've known Babo's work since they first started years ago) and that's kinda sad. I'm using. 3.62, but it should work for 361 to 370; the DISTR file here will never again allow the backhugging or spanking so you don't have to go into your MCM and disable approaches every time you ride a horse or mix a potion.

on the latest patch it's missing alias's on ask for sex 2 quest and not sure what the quest alias's is missing XD but the other 2 can be found on the first quest and was looking to see if there's a fix/patch for it XD and not all text is translated
