Devious Devices - Expansion

[Paragon_luvz]

not sure if this is necessarily the right place to ask this, but since i posted here before and got helped i might as well give it a try. I've been having some issues with the newest devices, specifically the yoke. Whenever i equip it to my character it works fine, but when i put it on one of my slaves they wont put their hands in the slots on either side. At first they just put their hands in the armbinder position but eventually they just walk around normally, with the yoke still attached to their neck. Again its only my npc's that dont show the proper animations, my character does them just fine. '

 

Whenever i equip or unequip one of the new devices, such as the restrictive set or the yoke, i get a message saying that Devious Devices has not been installed correctly and then something about receiving an invalid keyword for the device in question. All the older devices work fine tho.

 

Well, most of them. For some reason my slaves will talk through their gags on a regular basis. Its not all the time tho, sometimes they'll make the muffled noises but most of the time they just gab away like its not even there.

 

This probably has nothing to do with DDx itself, but i got help from here last time so i figured this was a good place to start. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated

Hey there, I'm having a strange problem with the mod. For some reason, the white ebonite corset (both with the belt and without) doesn't show on any of my characters, but all other things that go in the slot (other types of corset, harness etc) show without any problem. Anyone got any ideas about how to fix it?

Sounds like you have an outdated mod installed that is messing things up. Devices-for-him and DD-Restrained are the most common culprits of such problems (if you've got them installed, you might want to uninstall), but not the only ones.

 

That said though, follower/NPC support is generally wonky, they don't respond the same to code that works on players in various odd ways, so if you have some pressing issues there you should bring it up in the DDi thread, as that's where all the code for it comes from (DDx has no NPC specific code, and i didn't write the DDi code for it, and thus am not really in the know about all the ins and outs of it).

That should technically be impossible, unless:

 

1: You've got a third party DD mod installed that messes things up.

 

or

 

2: Your Skyrim install has exceeded the limits of what it can actually handle, and random things are breaking as a result of that.

 

 

Try to switch third-party DD mods you've got installed off and see if any specific one of them makes the issue happen (including any mesh/bodyslide conversions you might be using), and if that fails to find the culprit, try starting a new game with one of your scrip-heavy mods disabled and see if lightening your script-load might fix it (and if that's the case, you'll want to have a critical look at your mods and considder what you could do without, because your game can't run all of them at once).

Shouldn't the GrandSoulgem plug produce a filled Grand Soul Gem?

Just like the Sergious Chargable Plug makes a Greater Soul Gem (filled).

 

 

[turtoise3213]

Well this is strange. I did what you suggested, even went as far as to disable everything except the dlcs and the core devious mods (after reinstalling them all) and their dependencies, and it still wouldn't show on a new character. Oh well, I'll just use the white leather stuff instead. Fuck knows what's causing it, a fresh install of skyrim would probably fix it but I can't be bothered reinstalling everything else. Thanks anyway, I still love the work you've done.

I have some major invisibility problem with some devices.

 

When I equip RD-Restrictive devices, they are invisible on the character (except for the Boots). They work, they look ok in the inventory, unequipped ones can be thrown to the ground where they have 3d meshes and textures. In 1st person the Gloves are visible, in 3rd person, the hands disappear too. I have the same problem with the original Restrictive set and with the WT- variant too. Same with the Armbinders.

 

The only variants that are always properly visible are the Ebonite ones (colored too). I asked help in the help section, there are some more details in the thread, also my load order.

 

http://www.loverslab.com/topic/45999-invisible-devices/?p=1150729

 

 

It would be nice if someone could point me to the solution, I'm kind of out of ideas.

 

 

Update: Now I'm wondering if I should have the versions without Ebonite in their name at all. I mean, there are 2 variants (for example RD-Restrictive Corset and RD-Ebonite Restrictive Corset), but they are essentially the same, they look the same (do they?), they work the same, they only have different names.

 

That still won't explain though why the regular Restrictive Corset is invisible...

[Coopervane]

Manually install all the UNP meshes/textures of DDa and DDx (and remember the meshes/textures from the "Koffii" folders!), and then manually install the UNP-Skinny ones ontop of that (as that seems to be what you're using).

 

If that still doesen't work, then i'm really not sure why as it is bog-standard Skyrim code and functions beeing used to swap in meshes and textures. Thus, if it's still broken after the above, then it seems you Skyrim install might be wholly broken. It could be a broken mod you have installed messing things up, or it could be something corrupted in you Skyrim install itself.

 

 

To test for broken mods, i'd recommend starting a new game with only the DD mods and their requirements enabled in your loadorder, and then start enabling additional mods one by one untill the problem starts to happen.

 

 

Oh, and yes, you should have both RD-Device and RD-Ebonite-Device and so forth, that's intended. The ones named only as RD or WT are leather, with a dull finish, the ones marked with Ebonite are basically shiny latex under a different name, and have a much glossier finish. Observe:

 

 

 

Read Leather devices (note lack of gloss):

 

 

Red Ebonite devices (much glossier):

I did these things and not working, I disabled most of the mods and I have the same results. 

 

In my second attempt I went a bit too far disabling mods and even the locks didn't work, but the Gloves were still invisible (In another new game).

 

The sad thing is, I recently made a clear new install of Skyrim and all the mods, because my original install was on my computer for years and tried tons of mods with it. I thought it was time to get rid of everything unnecessary and install only what I actually use. So I completely deleted the Skyrim dir and reinstalled it, then in small packages the mods too. Unfortunately I tested the DD install with a visible armbinder so I thought it was ok, but later I realized it wasn't.

 

Now I try something else, and if that is not working again, I will try another complete reinstall.

 

Thanks for the attempt to help though.

[monsta88]

Well, now I made a complete new reinstall again, deleted Skyrim dir, redownloaded again, and reinstalled the first few mods. (SKSE, Unofficial patches, SL, SL Aroused, HDT Heels, ZaZ anims, DDaxi, SOS , UNP Petite + XPMSE Skeleton 2.51 + Physics + HDT BBP body, SkyUI, Alternate start).

 

Started a new game, waited till the mods initialized themselves. The devices in question are still invisible. I'm out of ideas.

 

 

Edit: A few more tries: Tried very differernt graphics settings. Updated video card driver. Disabled SLi. Still no cigar.

Edit2: I kept trying other stuff. I was using NMM, then I tried MO. Neither worked. It seems Wrye Bash was the answer.

[chajapa]

Figured this mod is the best place to ask this question...
 

Would it be possible to have a harness that can be worn for PLEASURE rather than only being locked on? Why? Because I'd like a harness that can hold plugs in, but that can be removed for sex. So the plugs and their effects get worn because the player LIKES how they feel but she can remove them to have sex.

 

Or maybe just plugs that stay in ... "magically".... and the plugs get removed for sex... or something. Slot them like panties or something so they get removed for sex... or something.

 

It seems all of the devious devices are used primarily as slave/punishment/torture/torment, but what if someone just LIKES them?

The plugs are a candidate for pleasure, I would think.

[lliMill]

when is the next update???

[Coopervane]

when is the next update???

 

*shrugs*

 

Don't know, but it won't be anytime soon.

 

 

I currently don't have any of the DD mods installed as i can't actually play them anyway, and thus also have no motivation to do any more work on them as things are. This might change, it might not, i don't know. Time will tell.

[HyperonicX]

Having a texture issue with the ebonite harness gag (the black one.)

When my character equips it, half of it somehow reverts to the standard non-ebonite gag. It's like one one side (left, when looking at character) is ebonite, while the other (right) side is somehow non-ebonite.

I've been looking in the CK, and Nifskope to see if I can fix it myself, but to no avail.

Can you please help?

[Coopervane]

I've had that bug happen once before whilst my game was under heavy load, but i've got no clue what causes it, since it went away on it's own when i quit the game and relaunched it with logging enabled.

 

As far as i can tell it's a Skyrim rendering bug, that basically, it can get confused and mess up TextureSet's if the game is under heavy enough load. Since i can't trigger it though, i've got no idea what exactly goes wrong or where.

 

 

What i can say is you might want to considder lightening your loadorder, as i belive heavy stress on the script engine is a major factor (and it's not really DDx causing that load, it's got very few scripts, and none that are heavy hitters, DDi does all the heavy lifting).

[DigitalP]

Two issues i'm having. 

 

1. None of the restrive assets appear in the CD store. 

 

2. The gloves and corset whilst they will appear in my inventory they don't appear on my character. 

 

I've searched and tried the suggestions offered by alas no dice. Any advice would be awesome thanks. 

 

P.S. From what I have seen the work on this has been top notch.

Dang. I've got too many good mods I wanna keep! XD!

 

But I'll see what I can come up with.

 

Thanks for answering, and sorry for taking so long to reply. I've been busy, and easily distracted by stuff.

1. The CD mod hasen't been updated to sell those items yet. They can however be crafter at any forge by completeing the "Forbidden Tome" quest provided by Devious Deviants.esp (it's part of DD-Integration), and obtaining the Devious-Smithing perk upon quest completion. All the items can be crafted this way.

 

 

2. Sounds like either an install error (the contense of the 00_core folder was isntalled, but not the contense of the 01_Body folder of choice), or you're overwriting my meshes with busted ones from somewhere else. Try doing a manual install of the files.

 

 

Manual install:

 

Drag and drop the contense of the 00_core folder into Skyrim, observing folder structure (so the "Data" folder is merged with Skyrim's "Data" folder and so forth).

 

Then choose your body, UNP or CBBE, and drag and drop the contense of the appropriate folder (01_unp, or 01_cbbe) into the Skyrim folder, again observing folder structure.

This is the problem I'm having. I've tried the uninstall, reinstall, manual, mod manager ect

 

 

 

[Veladarius]

It looks like there was an issue installing the textures, have you tried installing those manually? I am not sure why there would be a problem with them though, the collar textures should come from the same location as the arms and corset.

I think I'm due for a complete re-install of Skyrim anyway. I've got so many addons and many of them I barely use.

I tried installing v1.2.1, but the .7z file is declared broken on my PC. Has anyone else come across this?

 

Edit: Screw me sideways, my browser just failed to complete the download twice... Now it works just fine... Nothing to see here folks... move along >.>

[Josephine Loire]

I had a similiar issue on another mod, try to dowload it again. If for some reason the file is, i don't know, 35 kb instead of 36 (Random numbers) your pc will not be able to open it and mark it as broken.

 

Ok just kidding, there's actually an issue where the dowloads, not only for this, do not work. You can't do nothing about just wait to be fixed.

[Guest mrKenshi]

Is there any support for CBBE TBBP?

[Coopervane]

Is there any support for CBBE TBBP?

 

Yes. DDa supports CBBE-TBBP (the standard one you can find amongst the Bodyslide options), and DDx just uses those meshes for it's reskins.

i had that problem as well lately firefox would instantly download mods i go to open them but 7zip says its not a archive when i tryed firefox and ie im guessing it must have been lag from multi download on this site im not sure i havent had it before the other day every file i tryed downloading off here was not a archive then it started working properly
