[mod] [CK2] Dark World: Reborn - Updated 02DEC2024

[davemg]

So I think I found a werewolf event bug. The event where you can meet and bang the bunny girl turns out the AI is a man and you become pregnant instead which I found hilarious.

Could you be a little more specific about the "more events" part of the update notes? It's a little vague...

I've no desire to break things down like - one more random Spirit Quest option for werewolves, one more random pole dancing option for those who've completed the Bordello Overhaul event, one more random quest for those who've got Raven, etc.

 

More events are more events. The past two updates alone have included over 10,000 words of localization. If you read my postings between updates, you can usually get an idea on at least what a portion of the additions are related to - such as the most recent being heavy on werewolf or therianthrope events in general.

oooh ok thanks.  i wanted to start as a bull man/miotaur in Crete lol. do you think can i quicksave before drinking the potion and then just reload until I get bull?

Probably be better to use the command console and then enter add_trait therianthrope and add_trait bull_kin

Bah. I used is_female = yes instead of just female = yes in the create_character text block. I'll fix it in the next release (likely to be later this weekend).

 

Edit: Looks like I did the same thing on the randomly generated Red Riding Sisterhood member too. Thanks for catching this.

[AlexWyrmin]

Say, does the "Vampirella becomes my lover" event only fire for male rulers?

[aMemorandum]

Hi boss, long time lurker here. Thanks for the mod.

I just wanted to point out 2 bugs (presumably) that I've found:
1. For the routing event in dw_visits it's missing checks to see if the visit target is female for the oil play and snuggle events. It says FF in the comments and the localization would lead me to believe it's supposed to be female on female only.

2. The Astrid doll artifact is missing its interface entries.. Though I swear it used to be in there somewhere..

Other than that, I have a couple questions regarding intended functionality:

1. Are you supposed to be able to buy the werewolf potion from the alchemist while being full human? I remember it used to be for turning half werewolves into full ones, but I'm not sure how it's supposed to function now with the beastkin revamp. (dw_scripted_effects)
2. Vampires seem to still be able to feed (targetted decision, not hunt) from prisons. Not sure if this is intended. (dw_night_decisions)

3. Artifacts received from wizard society gathering of great minds event require 20+ learning or being part of the hermetic society (e.g. hermetic_handgun). I understand this is because you're spawning the M&M artifacts, but is there any intention to modify the artifacts so wizards without 20 learning have access to them too?

 

And finally, static portraits seem to disappear when the characters are imprisoned, then reappear when they are released. I don't remember this being a thing in older versions of this mod, but I'm also not sure what could be causing it. The issue persists even when I load DWR as my only mod. Most LF static portraits seem to not have this problem, but I can't figure out what the problem is even after comparing the interface files. I had originally thought it may have been a layers issue, but even after trying out some Frankenstein code I couldn't get the issue resolved.

Hey i've found a bug regarding bordello overhaul event.

 

So whenever i start doing that event chain, after the whore variety part or entertainment part, i get two instances of this event running. Like event pops up, i choose my pick and after it closes down, i realize an exact copy of the part that popped up behind it. Sometimes when doing this event, i move the event window to a side and can see the other window -which is the same window- behind it. I can choose multiple parts but after these events only one bordello exists with one of the window/chains decisions. The same bug always happens to the Jus Primae Noctis events too. I marry my courtiers, i get jus primae noctis event regarding sleeping with the bride or not, and after climax or if i choose not sleeping, i find the same window just behind it. For example if i sleep with the bride both times, i get -100 opinion penalty because i slept with her two times, or i get +50 opinion because i spared her two times. Or, i can be a bit cheeky and both sleep and spare her so i only get -25 opinion penalty while sleeping (and probably impregnating) the bride .I don't know if anyone else gets these events because no one has reported this and i have been getting these bugs for like 2 months now.

 

Anyway thanks for the mod mate, it really is great fun. Just wanted to give my feedback.

Hey I have a random question (if this isn't the right place for my type of question, feel free to point me elsewhere)

My ruler is a vampire female and I keep trying to get her to seduce someone on her council, who things great of her (80 to a 100 opinion). I must have done the event over four dozen times and it never works, I can't even hypnotize him. He always respectfully declines. What am I doing wrong?

[KhorneFury]

Great update! But I have a question. Im playing rise of the pack scenario and I have problem with finding new bitches for my werewolf ruler, I have done spirit quest around 20 times and in most of events he was just hunting or chilling. I dont know if Im just blind  but I would be grateful for any information where I can find old (I think it was called) "sate my lust" decison. Btw my ruler is lustful so it shouldnt be trait problem. Thanks for any informations.

The update planned for this weekend will address this. If you're not seeing it, then I likely blocked off that portion of the old hunting events with the last release. I've been updating them this week, so they'll definitely reappear if I did nix them by accident. Looking like Sunday for the next update.

If you're using the mind control that is in this mod, then it's likely that the person you're trying to hypnotize is simply too mentally strong. In that case, your best bet would be the Seduction events that are part of the Way of Life DLC that you can do when you select a Seduction focus.

Whenever there is an instance where someone is getting duplicate events, but I cannot and others aren't reporting it - it's usually because of one of two things. The most frequent cause is someone running the mod on an older version of Crusader Kings 2. The second one, although rarer is when  something got borked up with the mod installation. Whenever an individual brought their CK2 version current, or delete and then reinstalled the mod - it's taken care of the issue.

I believe it's the Vampire Seduction chain that Vampirella is using, rather than anything unique to her. If I'm correct in my recollection, then it's possible for a woman to seduce and take another woman as their lover.

Bugs:

1 - You're right, and it looks like it's in at least one other spot as well. I must have been lucky as it never seemed to fire at an odd time when I tested things.

 

2 - If you take Astrid as a doll, you get one shot at making her real - which is in the event that appears immediately after purchase. If you keep the doll (where it gets added as an artifact), then you've passed on having Astrid as a character. There is no interaction to undo it later. So this isn't a bug.

 

Other questions:

1 - Yeah, it's like that for now. At some point I'm going to kill the alchemist shop entirely, as the potions that can be bought in the Wizards Tower are more 'current' with what my intended direction and plans are.

2 - Vampires shouldn't be doing anything if imprisoned. Someone brought this up recently as well, and I've a fix for the next update, although it may not catch it every where.

3 - Not presently. The Wizard Society is pretty much a reskin of the Hermetic Society, and while I plan on looking a societies in the future (to make kill or create decisions), I'm not there yet.

 

The static portraits bit does sound like a layering issue, as the bars are a layer. I've not noticed it myself yet, but I'll keep an eye out for it on my next play test.

Hello dewguru, Im nothing but a humble fan of your work.
I like the idea of playing immersively in the medieval time that include rape/slavery etc, and thats all. Everytime I start a new game I make sure that I only check/enable the rape/slavery settings and the rest is turned off. But somehow in everygame theres appear to be wolfkin, In my current game most of the europe now is a wolkin its spreads like crazy because theres no way to stopping it. I have a guess that its caused by some random ai buy the pure blood which you can buy at the mythic shop. So my request is, can you fix it? maybe make another setting to prevent the wolf potion exist or something.

Thx.

The only mod im using from LL is DWR and DWRextra, i also have luxuria fantasia etc but i have them unchecked (not using).

You're indeed correct. I was asking because usually the event fires rather shortly after her arrival at court for my male rulers, but I've yet to see it happen for my female ones. Must be down to RNG.

What I had meant was that the artifact doesn't seem to have an interface entry in its .gfx file so the doll itself doesn't have a picture.

Also, it seems the tooltips for the wizard society is missing some localization lines for the description 2 of the wizard society's powers:

 

Rank 2 power to gain mage trait  - dw_the_wizards_mage_trait_choice_power_desc (dw_decisions.csv)

Rank 4 power to write an arcane discovery - dw_the_wizards_write_arcane_theory_power_desc (dw_societies.csv)

 

Both entries already have a _desc already in place for the decision itself, but are missing the _power_desc entry for when looking at the powers from the society interface.

[aMemorandum]

Ah, one more thing. The vampire seduction chain may be missing an age check on the side of the vampire. Age 0 vampires are currently able to gain lovers.

But, please, don't kill the lady Alchemist events in the process... we had some good times in the past...!!!! ?????

It sounds like I've got something that isn't checking to see if the Classic Monsters game rule is on or not. I'll double-check a couple points I can think of to see if it's not being checked.

Doh! I'll double-check, but I think I caught that in the fix I just did for the update.

Alright, so Saturday and Sunday went not at all like planned.

 

My apologies as I was really expecting to be able to iron out the last parts I had for posting.

 

I didn't touch it at all this weekend due to some events, although if there aren't any surprises, I should be able to work on it after work today. I'm estimating I just need a few hours of time to wrap things up.

mod so good comments like this have me checking back every other hour!  

[lhyena]

Hi. There's been some time since I played this mod and I want to know if the additional content for different races (elves, succubus, etc) has been integrated into the DWR or if I still need some extra mod with the extended specific content. I ask this because I can't find most of those themed mods for DWR anymore, and the DWR description no longer talks about them. Only about some Monk and Mystics expansion that I can't find.

On the other side, is there any way to go back to the therianthropes being always in their animal form? The "hidden" therianthropism changes the whole thing too much, it should be an option in my opinion.

I got things wrapped up just before bed last night. Will be error checking it after work today, if it looks good, it'll be tonight that it gets posted.

Dark World had content split out. Dark World Reborn consolidated it, but made it where options could be toggled with Game Rules. Dark World Fantasy split things out. Dark World Reborn (mine) resumed, with things consolidated again. Dark World Fantasy changed to a mod called Luxuria Fantasia, and likely has some of the content you may be looking for. DWR and LF can be played together. DWF and LF are done by lockeslylcrit, with DWF having formed while I took a year long hiatus.

 

Monk and Mystics is an expansion to CK2, or what is known as a DLC. It's not a mod. Searching for it on Steam would show you it.

 

I can see your opinion. My opinion is it's better the way it is now, and fits better since so many events, vanilla included or other mods show non-werewolves in the images. It stresses that therianthropes are master's of their form, shapeshifting at will, as opposed to something that's stuck in it. That said, I've an idea I'll be looking to add where a ruler can basically 'Call out the Pack' to have therianthropes in their lands show their true selves. It's not in the mod yet, but I'll be testing it in the next update (er, the one that will be after tonight's).

Thanks for explaining. I see a lot happened here the last year.

 

It actually makes more "sense" overall the way that it is now (also more true to what a "werewolf" is supposed to be and all that), but I really like the idea of therianthropes not being human at all, and in old versions of this mod it was just served. I'm sure I'm not the only one with this viewpoint. Too bad there's not an option to keep it like it was.

 

I think it's a pretty cool idea the "calling out the pack" anyway.

 

BTW, is the Fenris the invasion still made by animal-looking therianthropes?. If that is so, then the most important for me is still there. Can you imagine Fenris with fair skin and a moustache? Goddammit!
