There I fixed it

It might be cleaner to introduce some mod options settings so preferences could be fine-tuned ahead of time and outside the gameplay to suit everyone. There IS an MCM-like mod floating on the Nexus here. I have not needed it to know its potential application here but it might be worth investigating.

The issue is the way the engine currently works is it wants to know about all the assets, resources, etc, ahead of time - BEFORE the game is run. The way OK works is it creates a <bunch of dummy empty asset names / paths> and a bunch of files that act as a middleman:
<game references pal> -> <Ok blueprint for that pal (with whatever passives)> -> <Game files here>
It works kind of like a switchboard. When the Modder compiles the mod into a .pak, it comes with a REPLACEMENT for the specific <OK pal+passive> blueprint file in the middle that redirects it to the new model. The mod isn't ever remapping itself, it's the replacing of the standard "pal -> base model" asset that does it. All resources and the blueprints that redirects/links pal to model are still static when the game loads. There is currently no way to change these while the game is running. The way the assets are loaded is so core to the game engine that I don't think modding in a user-configurable menu is even possible without official modding support. I went over this and the issues it causes more on my previous comment here https://www.loverslab.com/topic/226315-recruitment-nsfw-palworld-mod/page/7/#comment-4316217 that I think might have been missed.

The best I can think of is instead of shipping a finished .pak file, shipping a whole bunch of raw models, assets, and an installer that like asks the user how to map the files to which OK slots, and then like compiling the models into a single .pak, and starting the game with that <custom bundle of OK models.pak> loaded. The downside is AFAIK the only way to do this is having the entire unreal engine install, all modding tools and prerequisites installed, and it'd take a long time for the file to be compiled together before the user could actually play.

UPDATE ON ANUBIS

Zetter is busy with other projects so please give them a bit of time, what has been made looks great so far~


High five! er... high four?

EASTER PRESENT!

Since Easter is around the corner we decided to work on Lunaris and went the "Rabbit on the Moon" route, rounding out some of their features, giving them a muzzle and even a cute bunny nose~

Zenta is our amazing 3D modeler who pumped this model out so quickly, we're still working on the male model and then we need to rig, this model was made PURELY from scratch and has no bones or weights yet.

I'm hype AF for this lunaris to come out

The dildo needs to be ribbed for her pleasure

Pure brilliance, I hope I can use these without having to disable anti aliasing.

Any chance the piercings would be optional?

I'll keep my eye on it. And if I can, I can help where a few donations can be thrown. Won't be a while though. I am liking where this is going.

Appreciate it! But don't feel pressured to donate anytime soon, we're working to release the mod with Anubis to everyone soon regardless

Loving the work so far! Is there a discord to join in to keep up to date on the mod? or are you guys gonna play it safe and not create one until drama dies down?

We have one, but it's only through Patreon and Subscribestar, this isn't to be greedy, even the lowest tier gets you in, but this is to help as a way to age verify (yes a kid can steal their parents card, but it helps a bit), and also to help deter trolls from entering, people who cause drama are less likely to enter if they have to pay, that gives us protection.

This is for those interested, I do not advise joining now as there isn't much to get from it at the moment and we are currently posting all our information freely so there is no point in subscribing yet unless all you're looking to do is donate.

That being said, we do have a twitter where people can follow for free. All the same content posted on our Discord is currently posted here until we're fully up and running.

Are there plans to release some of these modified models as SFW replacements? I'm all for the NSFW ones don't get me wrong, but take the anubis designs for example. Myself, and many others unsurprisingly, find them more aesthetically pleasing than the original even without the naughty bits. No offense to the designers/modelers of the original of course. Would be a shame if models like that were limited only to the lewd versions.

We could add SFW variants to our polls later possibly~

That would be nice, cause I know a couple people who would like redesigns like that one, but prefer to keep their games free from naughty mods like this.

 

Also, I didn't say it, but, you guys have done a nice job so far. Look forward to anubis being completed, and whatever else comes down the road. Keep up the good work.

topic will continue over here~

when / how can I get this in game. Looks AMAZING

[LaughingGun]

The reworked Lunaris is cute and props to the hard work of the modle maker but I personally prefer the more alien look of the original model. Anyway we could still keep that version and still get the fun bits?

I would prefer it without the nose myself too, but if it's required to get access to that beautiful model, it's a sacrifice I am willing to make.

That's a fair point. It's not hard for things like that to grow on my after a while, though I'd at least like glowing nipples. That's one of my favorite things from the old dead mod.
