Cum Dreaming

it's initially cool, and can be sexy, but... OK it's too constant, and without delays or pauses... it gets old fast, then annoying, then disabled. these are supposed to be thoughts in your head, your desires, fantasies, so could you perhaps make a way to constrain it, especially when busy doing something, hell even just moving, an option to make it only appear when you're idle would be useful so it wouldn't "wear out" too fast. or maybe lock it to a small part of the screen, or make them smaller and not tied to character zoom, though as a spell shader that will be difficult

 

Well you know I don't actually play the game but I get your point that it could become boring quite quickly.

 

I kinda like the idea you suggest of it only happening on idle maybe with a small delay before triggering. It could even be taken further for it to happen mid movement and block the player controll for a small amount of time to simulate the PC daydreaming.

I'm sure you can make a NIFSkope template for this to make finding video clips you want and exporting tagged sections frame-by-frame at whatever fps you're going for for the smoothest effect to emulate video but long enough to show what you want, then ffmpeg building tiled individual textures; they probably already exist, like for the Fallout 4's Videos of The Wasteland project that really abuses this texture animating concept. (you can make like 10m15s 15fps texture videos, they're huge multi-gigabyte of course) would just need tweaking for your variant. if you make it easy enough an end user can fire off a .bat or .sh and ends up with a texture and a default template .esp they can rename to their liking, I'm sure they'll make their own sets and put em up, as well! I could see this mod end up expanding to categorical arousal thoughts, not just cumshots and bukkake... assuming large amounts of dev time is truly available.

 

I'm not sure you understand how the effect is achieved, its not done through nifscope, it is a single texture .dds that has equally spaced divisions relating to each frame of the animation and as such is limited to XxX numbers, I.E. 8x8 or 9x9 giving 64 or 81 frames. Its the effect shader that selects which portion of the image it displays at a given time. Its that effect you see when a dragon dies, its reading parts of the image to create a moving image.

 

As such I have a Gimp template that allows me to "snap each frame to its corresponding location on the 4k texture file, If anyone wants to have a go then I'm more than happy to share my template.

re: community shaders, I see what that person is talking about, with particle lights these 'emit' so the auto-iris effect darkens everything close while they display and brighten as they fade, it really messes with the light levels in some places and closer zoom levels, and causes a "wormhole" kind of ripple distortion of things behind the particles, especially with overlaying on complex textures; thankfully it's not constant but it is a thing; kinda trippy which is the dreamy effect intent anyway, not sure you should do anything about it, really. I think it just takes people by surprise, and looks a bit weird.

 

 

Yeah I'm currently making some outfits and have the latest CS beta from their discord and I did try the effects to see how it looked and there is zero definition, at some point I may come back to it  and revisit how they are displayed but I got a lot of things to make before that.

was there any issue with doing it via imagespace modifier anims, or you opted for spell shaders just because? wouldn't IMs give you a more resolution-independent absolute control over size and positioning (independent of your 1st/3rd camera or zoom, too); when you have your camera right behind your character like first walking through a door, they're bigger than your screen can show and pixelated due to how much scaling & antialiasing is going on. they'd be independently triggerable, layerable, easy to add a timer check for frequency, amount, duration, etc. seems a more modular way of doing it, but it's your mod, just curious if you thought of that way? even shader particle geometry the same way snow/rain/etc is done... again, just spitballing, not negg'ing your mod! I love the concept.

 

 

I'm not sure that it would be possible using ISM as we are dealing with particle effects, I have seen examples of animated files being projected onto a static .nif  but then you dont have either the outline or the movement and repetition that I can achieve with using effect shaders, It's maybe something I could look at as there might be possibilities I haven't seen however like I said I have a lot to do and the next thing I want to learn is using NiStringExtraData Prn to animate a .nif as my fellow discord owner just gave me a little guide on how it all works.

LOL you had my attention from the first 2 words you coulda been as rude as you wanted after that, Lord help me I can't change. You make valid points and have given me something to think about that might make it worth my time to revisit this project in the futire.

Is there some special installation instruction or a certain version of the hosting mod it works with? It hasn't produced either sound or any imagery (with any of the posted versions) coupled with CSNA

 

 

thanks

Shouldn't need anythng special but it won't work on an existing save, If your character is already addicted it won't work.

[anjenthedog]

I think I installed both "at the same time", so there shouldn't have been an issue, (no addiction recorded at time of installation) but I'll give it a try on a new player game to be sure

[agelmar]

Thank you for the mod. My current sex addict playthrough approves

 

Not sure if it's possible but is there anyway for this to continue playing when a Sxlab animation starts?

Sure if you know how to use Xedit then just remove every instance of this condition.

I'm no expert on Xedit but have used it at times for minor edits to mods.

 

Will give it a try and thank you the info and speedy response.

Let me know if you struggle and I'll make a different version with thoose conditions removed.

 

You take great screenshots, any chance I could get you to make some for me the next time I make an outfit?

Thank you for the kind words about my screenshots. I don't do many screenshots nowadays but always happy to help.

 

Appreciate the offer to make and editted version of the mod. As I've been working long hours this week and havent taken a look yet at in Xedit yet.

 

I also got to thinking is there a way to make it only play during Sexlab animations rather then when working around? I'm guessing that would be alot more then just editting the above for it play in Sexlab aniamtions as well.

Nope it's all in the conditions, instead of if being a negative condition its a positive.

 

 

CumDreamer.esp

 

put this in the data folder and let it overwrite the current one.

 

Visions will only play during a sexlab event.

 

 

[audhol]

Or this one where they will play all the time including during a sexlab scene.

 

 

CumDreamer.esp

Thank you so much for taking the time to make those edits.

 

Let me know if you require help with screenshots in the future.  Really appreciate your doing both those files.

can't get it up and running  

Waited till my SLS hunger and addiction dropped till 0.0000, enable the mod and it still don't want to show me anything? 

Any way to get it running by console command or anything?

Did you start a new game after installing?

 

To check, start a brand new game then after everything has loaded in type                                           set _CSN_CumAddictionPool to 200

 

Then wait 1 hour ingame and it should trigger.

Just tried it on my current save and a new game save. In both cases: unknown variable

[Emmixert]

Sorry if it's unrelated but what are the idle and walking animation you're using in these videos for your character? Thanks in advance.

[Fraying9981]

hi

this mod worked for an earlier save with SLS

 

Now on a new save with CumSwallowNeedsAddon 1.5.3.6 and no SLS, it doesn't trigger.

• I did download Cum Dreamer.7z, not the SLS version
• Cum Swallow Needs Addon works fine, I used a lot of vials to get to addicted, no dreaming animation or sound

 

thanks in advance for your tips!

Just to confirm, you said you got addicted but did you wait to become hungry aftrewards?

thanks, yes I did. 24 hours -> hungry got triggered. then starving later.

Hmmm could you check the active magic effects, there should be 2 examples of hungry or whatever level you are at, 1 from the needs addon mod and 1 from this one.

thanks, yeah i remember this is the correct way its supposed to work. it was like this in SLS

 

unfortunately i only see 1 effect for addiction level (addicted etc.) and 1 for hunger (peckish etc.)

I've waited, upgraded status to test, its the same. only 1 effect for each

I really don't know what to suggest sorry.

 

You got the right version, you started a new game so I got no clue why it wouldn't work.

 

If I think of something else to try  I'll post it here.

[Kat8086]

sorry if this has been asked, if I'm using the SLS version how do i get it to turn on? I'm ravenous at the moment
