[Mod][XCL] [0.23.6] InstaGirl Laboratory

[kamidju13]

Same problem only one Mod in load order this one.

[xarvenius]

did encounter a gamebreaking problem with this mod:
after i was in a trial i get a call as if i have a boyfriend calling but as there is none its just showing broken variables and whenever i land at the end of day it just says it can shot a boy cause there is none.

running the 0.3.9 modversion with the 0.23.6 xcl version and modloader 2.5.4.
i already did try if it might be a mod conflict but as it happens with just this mod and no other loaded i am pretty sure its not a mod conflict.
besides that i already tried folder cleaning but that also didnt help.

This problem is related to the Spike Fun mod. Insta Girl Laboratory and Spike Fun are incompatible. I need to modify some metadata and change the mod description.

as already stated i have made a mod conflict check and tried with just this mod present which would in turn rule out that its solely due to another mod.

You should put this incompatibility in the mod description. Spike Fun is a very popular and widely used mod. If possible it would be nice if you would make them compatible.

I need more information to know where the problem is coming from. Screenshots would be perfect so I can see and fix the problem.

You can't get any data values, let alone the string "tags", from the number 0
I tried to access a value in a string/array/datamap, but I couldn't find it.
The number 0 cannot contain any values, let alone the string "current gender"
I tried to perform an operation on some data, but the data's type was incorrect.
You can't get any data values, let alone the string "alternate names", from the number 0
I tried to access a value in a string/array/datamap, but I couldn't find it.
You can't get any data values, let alone the string "unfamiliar name", from the number 0
I tried to access a value in a string/array/datamap, but I couldn't find it.
There's nothing before this to do (else:) with.
I tried to use a macro, but its call wasn't written correctly.

that is all i get endlessly repeatet over the whole page and nothing else to be seen besides the backgroundcolor.

reproduction:
step one:

go one day into the lab to do the first contact but leave after talking to the doctor without choosing to do any treatment, and directly enter the laboratory again and do the pill trial while fully obeying. make sure to not go elsewhere in the morning or evening and that stepsis is not with you in the mall.
step two:

the next day you go there and take a pill before so that you are female and go in again to do the trial while fully obeying. make sure to not go elsewhere in the morning or evening and that stepsis is not with you in the mall.
step three:

repeat step two till you have the errormessage shown after leaving it, it freezes shortly before it shows.

That's an interesting bug. Have you played version 3.8 of InstaGirls Laboratory? It seems like Java is trying to retrieve old macros. I think starting with a fresh save and deleting the history should fix the bug. I don't have my PC with me right now to reproduce the bug; I'll test it when I get back from vacation.

i already did clear out all files of xcl and the labmod and did redownload everything, which i also mentioned as folderclearing in the original post for the problem.
so there shouldnt be any old data left over that gets pulled into it.
besides that 0.3.9 is the first version of it i did try.

i did test a bit more and found i could also trigger it if i had at any point taken a pill from the pharmacy and then took the pill trial even if i had already changed back.
i also switched over to the 2.6.1 modloader now and it still happens, so i think it isnt related to the modloader but that is only a guess as besides switching a true or false inside of a cfg or so is all i have in the direction of programming.
i also like to note down that i always start a fresh save whenever i alter the modlist.

I'll see what I can do about this bug, but it seems beyond my capabilities.

Spike Fun is not compatible with this one? So that's where the bug mentioned above is coming from. What a bummer. I like Instagirl Laboratory - but Spike Fun is the most important mod ever for me. The only time I played without it, was for checking whether I am getting a vanilla bug or not.

Anyway, thank you for the nice mod. It's an interesting addition to the harsh setup I run for my reluctant character to be slowly, but helplessly destroyed.

Spike Fun is currently experiencing several issues, which the creator has discussed on X-Change Life Discord server. Spike Fun encounters minor bugs when used without other mods, but adding more mods makes the problem worse.

I prefer to mention it directly on my mod's page to prevent other players from installing both mods at the same time.

And I think that is the right thing to do.

The problem is that the npcs in the Laboratory are missing the tags field. If you add the tags field the issue seem to go away.
The evening call code checks the content of the tags field and if it's missing then it falls apart. When I added it to the npcs the issue went away for me and had no further issues.
I don't know about the other bugs, but the evening call problem went away.

 

   (set:$relationships's "nurse_chiara" to (dm:
    "id", "nurse_chiara",
    "name", "Nurse Chiara",
    "gender", "female",
    "respect", 1,
    "dom", 1,
    "friendship", 1,
    "attraction", 1,
    "events", (a:),
    "flags", (a:),  <------ here is the issue
    "tags", (a:)    <--- add the "tags" field and the boyfriend call seems to disappear.    
  ))

I'm looking into it. I've noticed that the NPC's "tags" variable is checked many times in the code. I'll make the change and run some tests to see if it introduces any other bugs. Thanks for your help and feedback.
