The Sexoutng Api (How-To For Modders)

[prideslayer]

OK, I've got a dumb question. Where is the mesh for the er... "strap on" business for a few girl/girl anims located? I had assumed it was an animated object but maybe I'm missing it somewhere. It's only used for a few animations but I'm putting together a TypeN for Sexout package and it clips rather badly on the TypeN body.

There are different versions in different mods. Legion tryout has one, and I believe there are some in SCR as well. They're just normal clothing/armor items. An enchantment on them tells sexout that the wearer should be treated as male instead of female when picking animations and such.

TypeN for Sexout package and it clips rather badly on the TypeN body

Could be the Spectums Toy Pack part of the SCR requirement. There were a few there that clipped with certain bodies if memory serves me correctly.

[Nessa]

Ack, I didn't think to try SCR! I'll rummage around in there and locate it. Thanks!

 

Edit: It was Spectrum's Pack! Thanks again.

Dialogue scripts are problematic and this is a common consequence- Most likely, GetSelf is not returning quick enough so myRef == 0, hence there is no actorB so sex is masturbation. Sometimes it does.. thats just the wonderful game engine. Take a look in the GECK scripting 101 thread for more info on this, start at the beginning.

 

In Soliciting (take a look in GECK if you like, the code is quite clear from V4.2), I only do additem, startquest, or setting quest variables within dialogue scripts, everything else is in other scripts. I would suggest you move that code to an effect, object or quest script and call that from dialogue instead.

 

Object OnAdd blocks will run during dialogue, GameMode and Effect spells will not, but running before or afterwards is usually fine if you aren't changing current dialogue responses.

 

Also, I'd suggest using the new NX sexout calling method rather than the old one. The variable names are the same.

 

Thanks for the tip. I moved the bulk of the code to an effect, reading the ref from a quest variable. In the dialogue, I now just set that quest variable and "cast" the effect, and now it appears to work every time.

 

I'm not using the NX calling method because I can't make it compile (it should work with 2.6.82, shouldn't it?), anyway the old method appears to work fine, and seeing as it uses the same sintax as the scripts in the base game it's easier to read as well.

 

Thanks again (also to the other posters).

 

[DoctaSax]

If you can't compile with the nx calling method, chances are you borked up your nvse or nx install.

I'm having some trouble getting Start values for SO Erotica, and I'm worried that SO Char Resize is only working purely by luck at this point since (unless I'm missing something) since I'm grabbing the values the same way more or less.  Both spells are added to the global start FL in their respective mods.

 

I know that Odessa was trying to get a way to determine the anim near the end of sex.

I know that the Start vars are cleared, and that Spunk will be storing those.  I imagine that I should probably switch to that in both mods, but I don't know how close it is to being integrated to SCR, and unless other mods are already requiring it, I would feel bad requiring it

Sexout Character Resize (works)

 

scn SexoutResizeInitScript

int DoOnce
ref rActorRef
ref rActorA
ref rActorB
ref rActorC

begin ScriptEffectStart
  if (0 == DoOnce)
    set rActorRef to NX_GetEVFo "Sexout:Start::spellTarget"

    if (0 != rActorRef)
      set rActorA to rActorRef.NX_GetEVFo "Sexout:Start::actorA"
      set rActorB to rActorRef.NX_GetEVFo "Sexout:Start::actorB"
      set rActorC to rActorRef.NX_GetEVFo "Sexout:Start::actorC"


etc..........

Sexout Erotica (Missing values for AnimB, ActorA, and ActorB (0, <no name> x 2, bActor#Male gets the value just fine)

 

Note:  I put it in Update instead of Start so that it would have another chance to get the animation.  Initially, I did have everything in the Start block.

 

scn SexoutEroInit2pSCRIPT

        if ((5001 <= iAnim) && (5600 >= iAnim))
            Set iStartOrStop to -1

Help is greatly appreciated. 

[DoctaSax]

looks like you're trying to get some nx vars from the spell's implied ref that isn't the spelltarget ref, and some of those vars are only on the spelltarget ref.

 

 

(Conversely, I have a situation where a var that's supposed to be on the spelltarget ref isn't but is on the other actor.)

[nyaalich]

The spell is being triggered from the SexoutNGFLGlobalCBStartS formlist which, if I understand, would be cast on Actor B.  It doesn't have anything to do with the char that the begin sex spell is cast on, does it?

 

Is the solution to check AnimA and AnimB for a non-zero value for a two person anim?

[DoctaSax]

ActorB isn't always the spelltarget ref. You get that one from the "sexout:start::spelltarget" EVFO, check your vars from that.

 

[nyaalich]

So then, get the spell target, figure out if the target is A B or C, and then get the value for the corresponding anim?

[DoctaSax]

That should do it (just a should be fine, a is always there), or you can count the tokens, but then that often takes a few script runs.

[nyaalich]

I thought that B was always present?  That B was usually used even when the anim was just a single actor masturbating.  nyaallich_making_more_shit_up++?

[DoctaSax]

Iirc, B is what the notification spells will default to in 2/3p but masturbation is A.

 

[prideslayer]

There is only one 'special' thing about actorB.

 

If the player is not involved in the scene, and the anim is 2p or 3p, the 'actorB' is the one that is not moved or rotated. That's it. When the player is involved, they are not rotated or moved regardless of which actor they are.

 

Player involved or not, the spells follow whoever the script cast them on initially.

[prideslayer]

Oh, as for callbacks & notifications Callbacks are (obviously?) cast on whoever the scene author said to cast them on. CBSpellA is cast on A, B on B, etc.

 

Notifications are cast on B if present, otherwise A, otherwise C. I honestly don't remember why this is.

[DoctaSax]

Sexout was always rather oriented toward a game where the player is female/passive/B. I suppose that's why.

Now you got me doubting the masturbator = A bit, maybe that's just because I ended up setting it that way.

[prideslayer]

The masturbator can be any of them in the initial call. The sanitizer will check to see if actor B==C or A==C and if so, delete/clear C. Then it checks if A==B and if so, deletes/clears B, so after the sanitizer the only actor should be A.

[prideslayer]

Oh I should note that if only A/B/C is set, the sanitizer doesn't actually do anything. If B is set and A and C aren't, it'll blindly clear C, then do nothing to B because B != A. Same with C if it's set and A/B aren't. There is a little method to that madness, so you can cause any solo actor to play any part of a multiplayer act, e.g. just the B or C side of a 3some or the B side of a 2some, without another actor involved.

[astymma]

Just wanted to point out that SexoutPositioning functions as both a guide to using NX Vars AND as a guide to utilizing the callback system... specifically to obtain information you're discussing.

[nyaalich]

Sorry.  I'm an idiot.  The problem with my script was that I wasn't using reference.NX_GetEVF# when trying to set my script's vars. 

 

I was probably getting the ActorB thing for masturbation since no matter the act, someone is always "getting it" + reading more in to previous responses in various threads than there was.  The other information that you guys gave me was useful, so thank you for that.

 

EDIT:  I think I was missing the reference because I was looking at NG's "set actorA    to NX_GetEVFo "Sexout:Start::actorA"" statements inside of the BaseF script.  That's my excuse.

[prideslayer]

SexoutNGEffectBaseScriptF is always in the right context and doesn't need explicit refs.

[nyaalich]

Yeah, well, you WOULD say that.  It's like you coded it or something.  Pfft!

[SylverLL]

I've run into an issue while trying to run a few commands from the console.

 

Here's my batch file:

set "14000dc0".anim to 10005
set "14019333".bDontUndressA to 1
set "14019333".bDontUndressB to 1
set "14019333".actora to Player
set "14019333".actorb to getself
player.cios 140027a8

 

(where "14000dc0" is Sexout, "14019333" is SexoutNG and 140027a8 is SexoutBegin)

 

My character and the NPC (getself) simply look at each other without anything happening. I also lose control of my character: all I can do is look up or down.

 

I've done a few tests.

1) If I set both "undress" commands to 0, the animation works fine. Same thing if "undressA" (my character) is 0 and "undressB" is 1, even though both of them will get naked anyway.

2) If I try those commands on two NPCs instead ("getself" x2 instead of Player), everything works as intended.

[jaam]

With the released version or the debug version of SexoutNG ? Undressing should be sorted out in the debug version.

 

[SylverLL]

With the released version or the debug version of SexoutNG ? Undressing should be sorted out in the debug version.

 

I use what is on the download page, so "SexoutNG - Core 2.6.82r2.fomod" and "SexoutNG - Data 2.6.80.fomod"

 

Is there another version?
