@HereBeTentacles I avoid using YPS because it seemed like a pretty dense mod that does a lot but looked like a compatibility patch spiderweb. I wouldn't worry about adding a whole mod just for hair styling. Like you said showracemenu or a variety of lightweight mods cover that well enough.

 

I haven't looked at the api for it much but if I added any interaction with YPS it would be a soft requirement. Not sure if possible though since I haven't had the chance to look into it.

I got stuck during the "First Step" quest. When Renna commands you to beg and asks Roselle to come closer, player controls become locked and Roselle simply wanders around

That's an issue a couple people have had that I haven't been able to reproduce or solve yet. Some people have said that disabling camera mods fixed it, although I am not sure if that is a coincidence or not. You can that and see if fixes anything.

• For that quest (and almost every other time) when you are asked to pose you need to do it quickly and you need to hold it until you are dismissed or told otherwise. Are you doing that? I can add some dialogue to one of the intro quests to make it a bit more clear.
• For the quickest route variant you still need to follow the other rules, but have to make sure you never take the long way around to get to a gate. It doesn't actually change all that much right now since the gate setup is pretty simple but in the future when I add more variants or start combining them it will come up more. Can make that more clear in the explanation.
• People have mentioned YPS before and I am planning on looking at that at some point. If it actually has a way to pick a hair based on tags or something that is pretty cool.
• Not sure I understand what you mean by this one. What dialogue has the problem? Might have just forgotten to set a goodbye flag on the dialogue there.
• The highstepping works by encumbering the player (to disable the ability to run or sprint) and then upping the players speedmult. If you have something that changes how encumbering works that might be the problem.

Only covering the ones above, because other responses are almost perfect (if everything is perfect, there's no improvement, yes?)

• Pretty much posing as I stop moving (and if I remember right, most of the time the momentum of movement isn't even finished when I hit the button to pose), and holding the pose until the trainer speaks. It seems like "quickly," is "instantly," with no leeway (from observation and inability to get it right). I'll see if I can figure it out, but the feeling I get is "it's impossible for you to please me" from the trainer.
• That makes sense, but the way I was understanding it was different, so it could possibly do with a tweak in wording. My normal way of doing things (assuming this is correct) has been going the short way around (so for 4 and 5, going around the end of 5, and 1 and 2 go around the end of 1, with 3 being dependant on what's next), or what I believe is the short way around, but I'll keep that in mind for next time.
• My comment with YPS is definitely "support for," not "replace with," or as you said, soft requirement. I appreciate you looking into it, even if it goes nowhere.
• Off the top of my head, Roselle's greeting in the morning will bring up the normal conversation topics when finished, and closing out manually (tab) will then respond with "And no tugging" (I think that's her comment). Not the end of the world, but if a goodbye flag would help, then awesome! I know there are others, but I don't remember right now. I'll let you know when I come across them.
• Yeah, I think I have some tweaks that modify encumbrance (either changing weights, or fucking with encumbrance directly; not sure off the top of my head) for personal preference. It's not a big deal (because when I need to high-step, I'll usually manually switch to walking), but I just found it funny.

Once I have a moment to sit down and do stuff (life has a habit of getting in the way) I'll see what I can do.

 

Edit: (Not adding a new post when mine is the last one): Are there plans for breeding with the orcs? I know it's hinted at by Renna, and I've only done a few day sets (I think a maximum of 3 in a given save) so I'm not sure how much content I'm missing at the moment, compared to what's available, so figured I'd ask. Or I could go hunting through the plugin!

If you have done three stays then you have definitely seen all the tasks right now. There's five. 

 

There are plans with the orc stronghold like what is mentioned in the quests (when I first started this mod I couldn't decide between doing an orc-based slavery mod or a ponyplay mod) but there is nothing currently implemented. That will probably be a ways off. You can walk over there an look around but that side of the map isn't finished yet. Still WIP.

For a little status update, I made a bunch of script changes to make the mod a bit more easy to work with and more updateable. Next update should be the last one that 100% needs a new save. (Still might need one when major changes happen though.) I also made some custom-scripted penalty/trainign device, as well as added a couple minor punishent-style events.

Then I took a bit of time away from the CK to try my hand at making a custom device for the mod, think it turned out pretty well:

[blahity]

@HereBeTentaclesThat looks great! Is it going to be just for punishments? My PCs tend to be good girls and they want to earn as many rewards from the orcs as they can

 

Any idea when the next update may be coming?
Not trying to be rude, but I'm itching to start a new playthrough and am just curious.
Even if the answer is "it'll happen when it happens."

The yoke and the custom devices will get used in a couple places so no worries there. Spent too much time learning how to make them to have them no get used a lot.

 

Not set in stone on the punishment system yet but even if the player is 100% perfect you can still see punishments and things like that, they just are a lot less common and get re-themed as extra training or preventative measures instead of punishments. I also want to make the tasks have some sort of scaling difficulty so that eventually it is not possible to always complete them.

 

Next update is probably going to be sometime next month. Wanted to have it out this month but blender and then slay the spire 2 coming out have destroyed that plan.

What a beauty, I want to see that hitched to a carriage so bad, ❤️

Is there a mod that overrides the high leg walking animation? or helps override any other walking animation to be the high leg animation?

my pc sometimes starts walking with the high leg and then stops after a second or 2. it's not a game breaker and i reinstalled any mods that i thought conflicted with it

but it still does it. just wondering if there are any animation replacers.

I know OAR has a dev console or event viewer or something of that sort that shows when an animation overwrites another. You may be able to turn it on and see what animation/mod is overriding the highstep animation, assuming that is what is going on. Anything with a higher priority could do it but I am not sure why it would only do it sometimes.

 

I suppose there is also a chance you are just running out of stamina? It does require stamina to highstep, if you run out it will stop you and if you don't have at least 25% or something like that you can't even start.

[Miclbero]

 

I'm having trouble when I'm forced to run in circles with my legs raised high the first time. 
I'm being weighted with 10,000, which prevents me from running, and I'm constantly getting electrocuted for being slow. 
I only progressed the quest further because I sped up my character through the console.

I also have a question! Why isn't my stamina regenerating? Is this intended?

I'm not so sure about the stamina thing since that's what i first thought. But i can see the highstep start for a few seconds before goind to a default armbinder walk. I also haven't taken the time to figure out how to use OAR so i'll do that for a bit. If i can't find a solution, i'll hope there's some kind of patch somewhere. I should mention that I have SLUTS Resume in my modlist and the highstep for that mod works. Maybe they're conflicting but I doubt that too.

Do you have any mods that affect how being over-encumbered works? The 10000 weight is on purpose because I don't want the player sprinting or running for that part. If you have a mod or something like that that makes the player extra slow or prevents stamina regen that could be the cause of the problem.

Afraid not. Mod is for a submissive player only. Sorry.

The animations for highstepping for my mod are the exact same ones that SLUTS uses, I just have a different mechanism (via OAR) to trigger them. If you can find out if its an OAR problem then you should be able to adjust the priority in the OAR menu and fix it that way without needing a patch.

I believe that Survival Mode also depletes stamina if you're over-encumbered as well.

While wearing a corset, DD slows the character by 25%. This effect is visible in the character's magical effects section. 
I have a lot of mods, but I have no idea what exactly is reducing stamina speed and regeneration. 
But I want to say that stamina doesn't regenerate only while completing quests from your mod.

Hey a quick question. During the, Reverie?, quest when we get the enchant so that NPCs won't attack us - are we added into some faction? Because bandits are still friendly even when released from slavery.

I looked and it seems I forgot to disable the truce effect between the player and enemies when that quest ends. Will be fixed for next version.

I just wanted to come back and shill for the most epic and thoughtful ponygirl story I've ever read.  I've always been fond of the genre but have only seen it in art form.  This is the first time I've seen it in written word and I found it to be absolutely marvelous.  Posting it here for the author of this mod and fans of this genre in the rare chance that folks have not experienced this masterpiece for themselves yet.

Sometime in April is the goal, probably towards the end of the month. STS 2 and Blender ate up a lot of my free time in march.

 

I should be finished with Blender for now though, I got what I wanted done and working, physics and all:

If you are interested in ponyplay stories the one that got me to really start making this mod is called Stables of Cyn: https://iconoclast.neocities.org/

 

It's made in one of those choose your own adventure frameworks and it's set in the Mass Effect universe which is kind of weird when you first start it but it's pretty good.
