Dark Arena - Fixes and OStim

[ccgraumann]

I've encountered a problem.

 

I'm able to get the connection between simple slavery plus plus and Dark Arena to work.  I'm sold and sent to the arena.  I have my first pit girl fight, everything goes as expected.  I have a few sexy dancer encounters, after I figured out you have to talk to the clients first before trying to dance ( I tried to just dance first).  After that though, every other task was the whoring out task, during which the clients will respond positively, but fail to follow me to a more private area.  I end up having to console a quest completion in the hopes that I'll get one of the other tasks.  Whether there is a bug in a script or just a laggy script that never catches up, I can't tell.  Also, when I did end up being freed, I could never get my stuff back from the argonian.

Further info - Neither PC initiated sexy dancers or whoring sessions seem to work for me when not a slave either.

whenever I try to load into the dark arena my game just crashes. Crash logger shows that "Margret", and "Alarvyne" might be the ones crashing it. Anyone know how to fix this?

I'm having the same issue, FYI. 

 

prid YsoldaREF + moveto player = works fine, ysolda pops up where I am

but doing that for either Margret or Alarvyne crashes.

I opened up zDarkArena.esp in XEdit and did a check for errors, and I'm seeing a bunch of references to unresolvable objects from the ZAZ animation pack (e.g. "[REFR:B3002A63] places [1E05D261] < Error: Could not be resolved > in GRUP Cell Temporary Children of aDA_Arena "Dark Arena" etc etc)—B3****** is Dark Arena; 1E****** is ZAZ animation. The work packages for the dancers all reference those placed references, which is I think what's causing the problem. I'm guessing there's some kind of a mismatch between the version of the ZAZ animation pack and the version of Dark Arena...? I downloaded both of them today, FWIW: ZAZ v. 1.7 with the patch from 2020, and I'm using your OStim version of Dark Arena.

 

EDIT: A-ha. The file download links from the sidebar on the ZAZ animation packs for SE don't link to the most up-to-date version. Scroll down and download the v8.0 version from the link in the body of the mod description and it will work fine.

I'm having issues with the pit fight. I'm told i'm supposed to lose, so I do, Ostim starts, but the navigation is gone and I just get trapped in a scene that won't start. I have the Acheron patch, and Ostim standalone runs fine if I start a scene any other way. 

[gustavolmg]

my female PC are always dancing, like i start an conversation  and she start to shake it up. my biggest problem are when i start an ostim Scene and my camera start to bug. i use improved camera by the way.

Hi I get killed when I lose a fight in the pit, idk why is that happening.

[yatixac872]

Is there a way to get rid of ZaZ Animation Packs? Both of them CTD my game on startup when they are installed.

[starchaser92]

what is your next conversion project? Can you do Radiant Prostitution and public whore next?

[Corvo269]

Thanks for all these conversions. Do you have any plans to convert Dovahkiin's infamy, Troubles or Heroines or Hydragorgon's slave girls in the future?

Do you have any combat mods installed? Might be one of those causing you to die due to too high damage etc.

No, the base mod requires ZaZ. Try reinstalling the latest version of ZaZ (the mega link in the description).

I've been busy recently, but Public Whore is a mod I am interested in looking into.

I have considered some subquests in Troubles of Heroine, but I honestly do not know how to rip out specific quests - lots of them are based on creatures etc.

 

 

The original mod, Dark Arena, has been updated with a lot of bug fixes. This conversion should still work fine.

I have Acheron and Simple Defeat. I also use nemesis for animations and OAR, but I don't have any combat overhauls.

 

Edit: I also have Yamete Kudasai.

How many times have you tested it? Could just be an inconsistency/ script lag issue.

 

I just tried it now, works fine for me with the latest version of the original mod and the patches here (although I may update the patch to have a little wait time for more consistency).

Do I need a defeat mod to make losing in the arena work?

No, it has it's own one built in. On the contrary, having a defeat mod is technically an incompatibility without a patch.

Then I've unsurprisingly horribly broken something (yet again) b/c it does not start scenes. I haven't touched the mod in a few days, but it was trying to load a save when I lost in the arena, and when I won the game broke if I declined, and did nothing if I accepted the offered prompt (which said "The slave girl I bet on lost, should I teach her a lesson? Or something like that.)

I keep dying during the first fight. Is there a way, thorugh a console or something, that would allow to skip a fight? I am using Requiem For A Balance as a base for my Skyrim.

 

[shikimaru123]

is there a sexlab defeat banemaster patch for dark arena ?  

[Johan_at_lovers_lab]

How do I start/finish the Pit girl fights? My opponent doesn´t do anything.

So, how does one work around that? Any patches for Defeat?

It happens everytime. If it's script lag, I gues I'll have to reduce the number of mods I have installed, even though most of them are armors, and visuals.

I use Acheron and OSimpleDefeat, after I get defeat in a pit fight game just reloads latest save

From a quick search, Lorerim has another death alternative mod (Respawn - Soulslike Edition), which stops Acheron from running. You would need to remove it and test it again.

The Text Fixes 1.01 patch is dated June 24, 2024. Dark Arena SSE 1.43fix is dated after that, on November 12, 2024.  Is the 1.01 patch still appropriate since the main mod is now newer? I do not have a version of Dark Arena SSE pre-1.43fix to compare against to see how substantial the updates were.

Is there an NPC replacer for this mod? Half of them have vanilla hair and faces.
