In file [v07X Stories - Pill Packages] I think you have the continue effect added in the wrong passage between sf package breederbunny sideffects / sf package clone breederbunny sideffects

 

I will have to look into that the next time I work on updating the code.

So, how do I actually open the XCL files to mod them? I've gotten the ones listed in the mod guide and that just opens them as a bunch of gibberish characters.

 

The .XCL files are really just renamed .ZIP files. (In fact, I believe the Mod Loader will still work, even if they have the zip extension.)

 

Rename them to ZIP, and you can open them. The files to edit are the .TWEE files.

[silly-go-round]

oh! I don't know if I ever would have found that. thank you!

Found a bug with the latest version

 

When I try to go clubbing the buttons for "Enter the club", "Leave" and "Watch Mariselle arrive" do not display and makes progression impossible. I can use the sidebar buttons to change in the car, access my inventory and change from portrait to outfit being displayed but that's it

[TamamoKitsune]

+1, all progression buttons at club entrance are removed and game softlocks while using latest version

[emes]

Yup, it's been reported on Discord. I'm thinking that, when I tried to enclose sections of code in passages to suppress excess empty space to the screen, I might've gotten overzealous and accidentally got the club options in there, making it so they don't show up. I'm going to see about getting a fix done when my day job is finished for the day.

Using the console is it possible to force any of the encounters? RNG hasn't been kind to me and I'd like to try some of the stories.

[mijhy]

in 0.9.4, I'm getting

 

$mbg_placeholders's length caused an error: You can't get any data values, let alone the string "length", from the number 0

 

 

Not sure if maybe it doesn't work with the new 2.0 version of the mod loader

I'm not really sure, as I haven't used to console for much. I assume you can change the event chances via console, using the variables mentioned in the main post.

I believe that was a Mod Loader issue, as both the Spike Fun bar patrons and Minor Bar Girls were trying to use [around] on the same passage. I still haven't moved on from Mod Loader 1.2.6, and haven't had any problems. Future versions of Mod Loader should address the situation, too.

temp patch has an undefined macro "inc" inside :: location event location intro passage. Is inc a new macro introduced in the next base game update?

You need the 0.0.2 version of the patch. I didn't realize even that passage had a new macro in it; they're coming out fast and furious! 😅

[mijhy]

For now, I have renamed the passage in Minor Bar Girls, and then I got the [around] passage in Bar Patron Management to call it. So there is no duplicate passages that maybe the new mod loader gets confused by. 0.0.2 didn't solve the issue. This produces working functionality for me in 0.9.5

 

If anyone wants, I attach my modifications below

I'm downloading XCL for the first time!

 

It sounds like I'd be better off using the prior version of your mod?   If so, are prior versions available anywhere?

I would use the current version along with the temporary patch I provided, as there have been various bug fixes in the latest version. You do have to be careful about the mod loader version that you use. 1.2.6 has worked for me, and the latest version is also supposed to have a fix for the "two [around] tags in the same mod" issue, until I get a chance to address that. (To my knowledge, there's pretty much just one version of Mod Loader that had that problem.)

I thought you made the 0.0.2 patch because of my report LOL. Only 0.0.1 was released at the time.

So with 0.9.6, do we still need the temp patch to work with XCL 0.20.7?

From the bug reports I'm getting, it's probably best not to use 0.9.6 for now. It looks like there were so many changes to things in the upcoming version of the game that, even with my patch, there are still new macros being called that don't exist in the currently released version of the game. Sorry. My bad.

So which version/files should we use for a stable experience? I'm kind of confused because of the extra patch file and small incremental updates

 

0.9.5 with patch

Or

0.9.4 with patch

Or

0.9.4 without patch

Or

0.9.2 without patch

 

I had an issue about club entrence with 0.9.3.

Unfortunately, I don't have an answer on the "best" experience, as I don't recall the issues with each version. 0.9.5 with the patch is probably the most up-to-date you can get with the current version of XCL. (I hadn't realized just how much of the base-game code was changed when I tried to make 0.9.6 with the updated "on-orgasm" effects, so it just won't work without the playtest build.)

The "Work as secretary" option is missing in the office.

I don't know which mod did it. Could it be this one, as it touched the area and made working as secretary a punishment for spiking if I read that right.

No, this mod allows you get a drug in your coffee during your break as a secretary, but that's about it. Probably a different mod.

[bigheaded561]

Wouldn't mind doing some testing as this mod is by far my favourite, adds so much more depth to the game at the bar.

 

However having some mod issues:

 

Conflicts:
U666 Spike Fun: Requires another mod named U666 Spike Fun Media, which could not be found
BR Pill Mod: Conflicts with U666 Spike Fun on [sex transactional oral interrupt, sex transactional persuade oral, sex transactional check his action, start sexual encounter, npc cock effects, bonus pleasure SE, bonus SE, sex transactional orgasm text, sex transactional orgasm aftershock text, sex orgasm, masturbate orgasm, check spike, workplace spike occurs, NPC invites himself]. - Presuming this is normal

Warning: Failed to read mod metadata for XCL Spike Fun v0.9.6 - MEDIA.xcl: com.charleskorn.kaml.MissingRequiredPropertyException at <root> on line 1, column 1: Property 'baseGameVersion' is required but it is missing.

 

Unfortunately i know how how to modify the html document but i'm a bit inexperienced dealing with that sort of change

 

Fixed them both by fixing the second part, just added

baseGameVersion:
  atLeast: "0.20"

To the meta file in the media

 

Does seem a lot buggier, a few of the images seem to not be there that were there before. for example:

 

Quote

The dizziness and lack of focus become the least of your worries, as you feel your whole body heating up and starting to change...


“Ooh, very sexy!” the man says. “Trust me, this is a better look for you. A better body for having fun, too, as you'll soon see.”

This usually has an image in between, this is missing for some reason

 

The "additional bar girls" all say "she has no interest talking with you" not sure if this is intentional, i'm guessing it is to try and force you to have a drink and use the new wait around option which gives spikers additional chances.

These girls dont appear at all if you're a girl which is probably also intentional

 

 

Mina is still working correctly. I always find this is dead easy to get to happen

 

 

Oh and please can we have an option to disable the police showing up at the bar, they're endlessly showing up for me and basically slowing down progress.  An option in the game options: Chances 100% or whatever the current is, 50% or 0%

You can ignore this error. I believe it's due to the version of the Mod Loader, as the suggestion that media files be added to the meta was made for the newer versions.

I've been seeing this, too, with no changes on my end. I believe this are base-game issues that still need to be worked out. Something in the code changes regarding displaying images like bar girls.

Right now, they only serve to block you from being able to approach one of the real bar girls as a guy. I've got a bunch of different rejection messages written up, but it'll be a bit of a project to have the right lines display for the related images.

 

I play to eventually do more with them: allow for some sex events with some; have pill-related events; some spiking scenarios. For now, though, they're just there to make it harder for a guy to hook up with a porn star.

That's not a bad idea. They disappear after you've reported the perpetrator, but I didn't really consider how long they'd stick around if you just ignored it. I'll have to look into what I can do with it.

awesome thanks for the responses.

 

Did some further testing

On my save file, sex as a girl at home is completely broken. Tried 2 of the girls. Also worth noting as a girl at home at wake up, clicking the skills button is utterly broken as well.

so it appears to just be to do with video loading for sex positions at home.

Guessing how this is loaded has also changed. Thinking about it, every single time a video/animated gif plays it's broken in some way (like i said in previous message, getting drugged in some instances isn't loading the video)

 

This is 0.9.6 including the temp patch.

Removed all un-necessary mods to help narrow down where the issue is. This is what i've got and still repeating the error, i did do basically a fresh reinstall and downloaded all of the latest of everything

BR Pill Mod
U666 Drug Framework
Pharm Inc
Wonka.media.xcl
Wonka Shop Mod
U666 Spike Fun
U666 Spike Fun Media
Spike Fun 0.20.7 Temp Patch

 

I did have everything working previously on .20, apart from the base game apparently i'm still on 0.20.5, game is now at 0.20.7

i'll try updating that also soon and edit to update if you havent confirmed it's an issue

As I mention earlier in the thread, 0.9.6 looks like it NEEDS the XCL version from the Git (the playtester build) in order to work. Seems the game got some new macros that I wasn't aware of, and the temp patch doesn't include those (not even sure if I could if I wanted to).

 

0.9.5 with the patch is probably the best you can do until the new XCL update drops.

 

[menchi8877]

Works awful for me. Can go to the bar for weeks and maybe talk to 2 real people the rest are the no content npcs. The police are worthless so they only bloat it up worse.
