Yea, this. Now for npc use mod author would need to decide how such device would be distributed in game world lore (not that there is fun or even logical lore in game in the first place but thats beside the point) wise and figure out reason why using conventional suit would be preferable instead such devices in your usual everyday spacefaring.

Wondering the same, to be honest I would honestly expected BGS to have done that. The moment you learn Personal Atmosphere it should have been a toggle skill which consumes energy over time and with the proper skill to replenish that energy, it should have been permanently up. It would have add so much more lore and make the character feel like a God. Imagine, a character walking on Mars, without any costumes due to his personal atmosphere.

In game lore, who besides the player character would have access to the personal atmosphere power?

 

Hmm...

 

Perhaps we need a scenario where the player is somehow coerced into something which reveals how to make it work?

The Personal Atmosphere power acts like a dome, if an NPC is within that Dome it should be applicable for them to be able to breath in it. Unless the power is specifically made for the caster only and doesn't affect NPCs within its range/dome. If that is the case then most likely the effect of the power could be changed to an AOE self-centered type or enemy centered.

I didn't specify most important thing. I think there should be widelly used device that acts like personal atmosphere power. The effect is already ready to use and i could be attached to item ingame. Reason for existing ingame - technological advancement (or introduced by some starborn along the course of history), need to figure out why limitations of such device would be for lewd purpouses and such.

That should be fine in scenes where the player character was initiating sex.

 

But I prefer scenes with some struggle or conflict or whatever (some kind of gameplay), so... I guess I like figuring out how that could be possible.

 

But I guess simply making the power not be player-exclusive (like unwashed biomass was suggesting) would work.

May I weigh in an idea for a Work around for sex/space, inhospitable worlds? copy AAF in this regard, when the character "strips" why not have an auto equip transparent spacesuit? i dont know if this would work or not but maybe it could help

Someone will figure out how to make a translucent suit.

 

Or, failing that, maybe a suit with invisible textures which get swapped with visible textures during combat.

Thank you, I had not realized until just now that you had provided so many options.

The material files are all JSON format, so iff you want greater translucency,  it should he a fairly easy edit.

Huh.. so alpha channel is "z"  (...Color.Data.Value.Data.z)?

Anyone else got the bug about Andreja's dark blue hands when she's naked?

 

The hands she has now appear to be from some Va'ruun outfit from Shatered Space.

Yeah, sounds right. There's a few color quads in the file so it'll take a bit of trial and error. I don't understand it well myself, I just copied a texture from another object. (The red balls in the ball toy for one).

 

Also, because of the way t he blending works,  there's two sorts of textures. Dark ones and light ones. One of them uses additive blending, the other mutiplicative. You need the blending if the underlying skin texture is going to show through.

 

The normal maps supply the nipple crinkles though - that's the same in both cases. You just need the blends for the colours.

The mod is now working again without any problems! There was a problem in the morning and now at night it is working like a charm.

 

And I don't know how I solved the problem...
