So far, I still keep this mod in an experimental state, I couldn't decide for a long time whether this was needed, but I decided to try what would happen. 

Also I think I implement enough for the first version - for play and test - and for make decision what to do with it next... and feedback / criticism / regrets / ideas (Preferably not very complicated ) is welcome (better in DD discord  for avoid offtop in this topic... or pm)

At the current stage, I can say that in general I satisfied - I really liked the dependence of chance on the value of the item, but there are drawbacks that I wanted to think about, but I don't have any special ideas yet:

- some disbalance of chances for some items

- ability bypass the risks by simply opening the container (bypass quickloot UI)

- weak integration with DEC, especially in terms of settings (technical difficulties, and the desire to avoid modification of DEC)

- visualization

I got beaten to the link by 3 hours. And by the author.

 

You are correct about being offtopic, this is my last post. may I suggest you open a thread on LL, everyone is fond of Discord and it has many drawbacks, among others unifying accounts (I don't want anything I use professionally to be linked to LL) and requiring more and more accounts. If anything, if you keep it on github, maybe that should host discussions (with the obvious caveat that github accounts tend to be professional accounts).

 

Anyway

 

About balance: I did the INI dirty, and basically made picking anything up 1.0 multiplied. I think the point of a roll is to never know when your life is about to become difficult, and it makes you think twice. Knowing the change of a trigger on keys is 0.001 makes me not think about it and game changing is about rethinking gameplay. Do you REALLY need those arrows? Do you really need 8 gold? Is that weapon worth it? A good thing about that is I am playing late game and I don't need most things. This way, when something is worth looting, like bone arrows, I like the chances for things to go wrong high, like 10% or more. Cause i could clear a dungeon and wish for nothing. Once you get smithing, you can make your own things just fine. Also, late game damage dwarfs any enchanting unless it's soul theft. You just enchant your bow or sword, press some arrows and that's it.

 

Bypassing the chance isn't a big issue at all, not for me, you see, I am lazy and if I see the hover menu I am not opening anything. The downside is locked chests, they auto-open on unlock. Other than that, it's fine. It is, after all, roleplay. I can use MCM to remove restraints. That being said, have you seen DDEquip? Man that needs more love. I ramble again.

 

You can keep integration with DEC or just call your own equipment, but DEC has the advantage of already having an MCM and settings, allowing your mod to be light.

 

If you want to keep this light, then DEC is the way to go. You should look into DDEquip if you want to expand. It's a bit older, but it does that other think I liked, which is do away with escape systems altogether. Once heavy bondage is equipped, use, fight, interact are all disabled and it features a timed system for it. It threw more wrenches in my plans than anyone else, giving me a reason to equip and boost follower. You could moderate the probability of light (restraints) vs heavy (timed) events.

 

I wish I had the time and willpower to pick up modding, it looks fun. My biggest development project is 100K lines, these scripts look fun sized for me.

 

I'll keep an eye on the project. On discord if I must

Alas, this mods seem to be dead now. CTD on every thing despite it showing up.

Since you are the only user currently reporting a CTD (with more than 300k downloads) I suspect the issue is with your setup not the mod.

 

If you post a log of the crash then we may be able to work out what your issue is.

[cyberloader]

Everything else works, including Cursed Loot, but this mod makes me CTD on everything I open. Tried to install it several times and while it installs just fine in the MCM, it still crashes. Probably and AE thing who knows.

If you are experiencing a CTD then either you do not PowerofThree's Papyrus Extender installed, or the wrong version is installed, or something is overwriting it.

 

Check your install, PO3 version and check for unintended overwrites - this is an issue with your setup.

is there an option to force a recheck for things like Estrus Char+

Not sure if its an issue with Estrus Chaurus+ or this mod not picking up each other

I'm trying to install an old modpack,  and i was wondering if there was a way to get an older version of this mod. I'm looking for version 3.20 if its still avalible anywhere

Hello.

 

This mod is already very fun, but I think it would be even funnier if it integrated the mimic chests from BakaFactory's "TNTR" mod (https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/107836?tab=files)

 

Is it technically feasible, whether it replaces existing chests or adds new trapped ones ? And if so, would you be interested in including them in your mod ?

[Sleethe]

Is there a way to reset all chests that have been loted, and make them "lootable" again? Or completily turn the remember chest feature off?

For those that want to know 🙂

Spoiler

DEC only remembers the last 20 containers - once you have activated 20 (trappable) containers, each time you activate a new container the oldest container is removed from the list and becomes trappable again.

 

There is no option to turn this feature off.

Tysm for the quick respond ! I didnt expect that!

How can we make it so that devious traps in containers spawn from top to bottom rather than completely randomized? The main issue I'm seeing with the current setup is that your character may get bound in all restraints *except* wrist bindings that lock your arms. It happened to me on my very first try that my character got a strict hobble set, a gag, some piercings but her arms were still free.

 

Additionally, I noticed an option that forces full set but the description says that it wil always make you lose your keys. So does this take precedence over the 0% chance to lose your keys?

As things stand I'm afraid you can't

It's been an age since I looked at that part of the code but yes - I think it overrides the % set

I installed the mod but the MCM is not showing up, is that normal ?

 

I'm using Devious Devices 5.2 with Devious Devices NG+ on top, and I'm also using OSL Aroused instead of the outdated Sexlab Aroused. All of these are supposed to be backward compatible but maybe that's what causing the issue ? I don't know if the mod has any failsafe to prevent execution if the required mods are not recognized properly.

No - nothing like that. The MCM should show up regardless have you to tried force  an MCM update by typing:

 

setstage ski_configmanagerinstance 1

 

In  the console?

I'm having the same issue. This command didn't work for me.

I created a new character and the mod loaded just fine, MCM showed up and I even got to test the functionality (everything woked flawlessly).

 

No idea what was the issue on my main save, probably a badly unintalled mod

Hey I was wondering how to add new devices to the pool whenever a trap is triggered. Been trying to fidget with SSEEdit to try and add the Giant Anal Beads anal plugs into the FormList so they can be equipped, but I'm still learning how to do that kind of stuff.

Will it work if I convert the esp to espfe? There's a script folder and I'm afraid that it might not work properly

Probably not. I use Vortex as my mod manager and it flags .esp's that could be light. It does not have that flag for this mod.

I'm using DEC with DD NG with no issues and have had no other reports of this issue - check that you have installed the correct versions all the required mods for both DDNG and DEC

Hey there!

So today I adjusted the chances to trigger enchanted chests. I set dungeon and wilderness to 0 and only kept the city chances up.

But I still get trapped in dungeons, caves, wilderness, etc.

Is there any other setting I have to adjust to deactivate trapped dungeon chests? I have no clue why they still trigger.

 

 

EDIT: Ok, found it. Seems quickloot menues have a built in chance to trigger traps, regardless of the MCM settings. So I have to loot chests the old fashioned way ^^

Was having an issue when using this with the QuickLootIE-DD mod where followers would never get restrained. Did some debugging and found that the dtraps_evaluateTrap.psc script scans for NPCs using this command:

 

        ObjectReference[] kScannedNPCs = PO3_SKSEFunctions.FindAllReferencesOfFormType(objRef, 43, fAOE)

 

The variable objRef is never set directly in this script, so I assume it must get set as part of the way this mod normally triggers from opening a chest. QuickLootIE-DD triggers it differently by invoking the `dtraps_TriggerTrap` ModEvent and this variable never gets set or is set to the wrong reference, causing the scan to return no results every time.

 

I changed this call to center the scan on the player's reference and it seems to fix this issue:

 

$ diff v3.215/dtraps_evaluateTrap.psc fix/dtraps_evaluateTrap.psc
116c116
<       ObjectReference[] kScannedNPCs = PO3_SKSEFunctions.FindAllReferencesOfFormType(objRef, 43, fAOE)
---
>       ObjectReference[] kScannedNPCs = PO3_SKSEFunctions.FindAllReferencesOfFormType(libs.playerref, 43, fAOE)

 

I've attached this fix for anyone else who is having this issue.
