Apropos

[chajapa]

hmmmmm.... not seeing the stage change descriptions.... I'll add a few more for testing

 

[gooser]

The ones I added are completely empty.

[chajapa]

Did you upload the right file? My Beta_2014_06_13 has no extra stages in it. I copied everything but the DB files into my current install (scripts, interface, the esp file, etc) and then took, for example, FemaleActor_Male_Vaginal and saved it as FemaleActor_Male_Vaginal_Stage2 after removing a bunch of lines to make it smaller. 

Validated JSON

and.... nada

 

wait.... I take that back... I see one stage2 file in femaleActor_Male for vaginal

 

 

[gooser]

I only uploaded Draugr. Sorry. I think I mentioned this yesterday talking to Susanoo27 but you probably didn't see it. I added the draugr files specifically to test with.

 

FemaleActor_Draugr_GangBang_Stage2.txt

FemaleActor_Draugr_GangBang_Stage3.txt

FemaleActor_Draugr_GangBang_Stage4.txt

FemaleActor_Draugr_GangBang_Stage5.txt

 

FemaleActor_Draugr_Vaginal_Stage2.txt

FemaleActor_Draugr_Vaginal_Stage3.txt

FemaleActor_Draugr_Vaginal_Stage4.txt

FemaleActor_Draugr_Vaginal_Stage5.txt

 

That's it. And they are empty.

 

 

[chajapa]

ok, but my addition of files should be working, right? It should be looking for stage2 and beyond files. I have nothing in the logs that it's looking for those. Or is the stage progression ONLY for draugers right now?

 

[gooser]

Damn it. I found a one-liner escape hatch that I forgot to remove that is quitting the stage processing. Let me rebuild and reupload...

[chajapa]

hehehe.... shit happens. That's why you have pain-in-the-ass retired people with nothing better to do than bother you about stuff when you're probably already working your ass off on this

That appears to have been the culprit. It's funny because I can't even find that other apostrophe on my keyboard!

 

I have the one on the tilde key:  `

and one on the key with the quotation marks:  '

 

So I'm not even sure where that one came from, but now I should probably go hunting for it and the only way I can reproduce it is to copy and paste it from here! heheheh

 

On french Azerty layout keyboards, we have this one : ' (under the "4" directly accessible without using the caps key). We don't have the other.

I've attached an archive containing the fixed .pex file, rather than an entire archive. Use to overwrite the one from the last update. Let me know how it goes.... thanks!

Had to look that one up. Call me an ignorant American.

ok that fixed it. FYI, it DOES now look for a Stage1 text file. I thought several pages back you had decided that a stage1 wasn't necessary, but this is fine. Gives me something to work with.

Another tweak... I'm going to remove stage 1. For reasons it being superfluous. So, don't bother authoring it... Thanks.

 

 

Which makes me wonder, are people going to want to control which stages get messages? New MCM panel?

 

Select Stage Progression Messages:

 

[X] Stage 2

[  ] Stage 3

[  ] Stage 4

[X] Stage 5

 

Etc.

[gooser]

Just uploaded a new release that fixes the issue Chajapa found, plus puts in a filter so only stages > 2 are shown.

[chajapa]

As far as I'm concerned, you should leave Stage1 in there. Why? Because it's not uncommon for the very first message to be skipped. So.... if you were going to add the MCM panel to configure which messages get shown, leave Stage1 in there and people can uncheck it if they reliably see the message when sex starts. The other thing is, I often switch animations when one starts so I can see a particular one or one I like better than the one that started. In THAT case right now I wouldn't see the initial message for anything but the first (original) animation because it doesn't seem to pick up animation changes.

 

ALSO.... having the MCM panel to select messages would be REALLY handy for when you go into a town and fire up Random Sex and all the townsfolk start going at it. Apropos might become a bit "chatty" with 3 or 4 scenes going on at the same time

 

It's all about options. Does it have a detrimental effect leaving stage1 in there? I mean other than a note in the log if it can't find the file?

I'd leave it in. But that's me.... and you're driving this bus so.....

Not sure if this was intentional but shouldn't the chaurus have vaginal and oral, not anal?

There's only two Chaurus animations - Forward and Reverse. This is how they are tagged in SexLab:

function ChaurusForward(int id)
	sslBaseAnimation Base = Create(id)

	Base.Name = "(Chaurus) Forward"

        <snip>

	Base.AddTag("Gone")
	Base.AddTag("Creature")
	Base.AddTag("Bestiality")
	Base.AddTag("Dirty")
	Base.AddTag("Holding")
	Base.AddTag("Chaurus")
	Base.AddTag("Vaginal")

	Base.Save(id)
endFunction

function ChaurusReverse(int id)
	sslBaseAnimation Base = Create(id)

	Base.Name = "(Chaurus) Reverse"

	<snip>

	Base.AddTag("Gone")
	Base.AddTag("Creature")
	Base.AddTag("Bestiality")
	Base.AddTag("Dirty")
	Base.AddTag("Holding")
	Base.AddTag("Chaurus")
	Base.AddTag("Anal")

	Base.Save(id)
endFunction

Neither has the Oral tag. If you think its appropriate, I can add/remove tags to the animations, vis-a-vis my Patchups script.

- Added MCM options for selecting individual stage progression messages.

[chajapa]

Regarding stages:

For Boobjob, I have NO stage2, stage3, etc. Just the main text file FemaleActor_Male_Boobjob

 

I'm getting messages at each stage regardless. It appears to be simply reading the main file each time and choosing a random line to display.

In the Apropos log there is no notification about not finding stage2 or beyond.

 

For reference, femaleActor_Male_Oral also has no stage2, 3, etc and that one tells me in the log that it can't find or read the stage2, 3 etc files.

 

Anal appears to be working correctly with stage files as does vaginal.

 

AND... with only 2 scenes happening simultaneously in the Whiterun market square, the output from all of the stage changes quickly begins to lag behind the action. Ysolda was done getting fucked and had already gone into the Bannered Mare before messages about her were done scrolling.

 

This was with an anal scene and a vaginal scene happening at the same time and with both of those having all of the stage files available and working.

 

So your idea about being able to turn them off or select which ones to display would seem prudent.

File just finished downloading.... let you know in a sec

 

[chajapa]

YUP... they show up just fine. No hiccups. I have to take a short break here to feed wife, dogs and kitten. 

 

You figure out the boobjob thing?
