Using newer SLP+ APIs while still supporting OG SexLab?

[dkatryl]

Currently, my mod only uses APIs included in the OG SexLab, and as a result it works with SLP+ just fine.  However, there is something I have noticed, which is that when I use the standard sslBaseAnimation to determine which animations to draw from, it seems to overlook valid ones.

 

For instance, I had a test case where I had the following two setups:

sslBaseAnimation[] anims = SexLab.GetAnimationsByTag(3,"", TagSuppress = "Forced")

vs

sslBaseAnimation[] anims = SexLab.GetAnimationsByTag(3,"Forced")

The first one should use any threesome that doesn't have the Forced tag, and the second should require it.  In my test pool of 6 threesome, half had the tag, so I would expect 3 in the first, and 3 in the second.  Yet I was only getting 2 in the first and 2 in the second.

 

Yet if I have *NO* check, other than #actors = 3:

sslBaseAnimation[] anims = SexLab.GetAnimationsByTag(3,"")

All 6 will be available to rotate through.

 

This seemed to the case in other places as well, so I went to look on the forums, and I saw this for SLP+:

• Quote

   

  • Overhauled API to simplify integration into SexLab:
    • Animations are now started through StartScene() functions, which operate only on Actors & Tags, interaction with sslBaseAnimation is no longer required
    • Isolated API into new exclusive API scripts, properly splitting internal and external code:
      • SexLabRegistry.psc, main API script to access animation related information
      • SexLabThread.psc, a new interface script to interact with running SexLab threads
      • SexLabThreadHook.psc, a blocking Hook interface to hook (synchronous) into SexLab threads 
      • SexLabStatistics.psc, an interface script to access actor statistics
  • Improved Animation Selection: SLP+ is more strict with actor placement, you will no longer get animations with male actors in female positions, or a femdom animation with a dominant male

   

   

[TL;DR]

Sounds promising, except I don't want to break support for OG SexLab, so my question is there a way to check in the script if SLP+ is installed to use *that* method for setting up a scene, and if it isn't, retain the OG sslBaseAnimation method that currently exists?
