**OBSOLETE** playerslave ALPHA troubleshooting guide

[Reigor]

****THIS GUIDE IS OBSOLETE!!****

((There is a NEW playerslave being worked on, check it out in the download section of the oblivion/lovers forum. Please do not use this guide unless for reference to the old playerslave.))

 

Hiya folks, Here is my troubleshooting guide for thomthom's playerslave. For those not familiar with it, playerslave is a lover's mod IN DEVELOPMENT that is currently in an alpha/teaser stage. In it your player is captured by slavers. She is bound gagged and marched naked halfway across the world. She is then sold to a slave auctioneer trainer who will loop through training the slave and chaining her to a wall. The beta release, hopefully soon, will expand on this concept into actual playability with the character being sold as a slave and eventually either escaping or accepting her lot, but still be playable. In the future it is planned to enable other modders to easily insert their own slave owners and activities as separate esp.

 

You can find the latest release here to get an idea of what the mod will be like.

I still need to add all the legal download links.

 

1. Shivering Isles installed with latest Official Patch from Bethesda.

2. OBSE 20 (the latest one) found here http://obse.silverlock.org/

2a. I highly recommend using Oblivion Mod Manager OR Wyrebash, besides both are excellent for installing mods they both come with a launch function that launches the game with OBSE. If your not sure which, use OMM, its easier to use. This will ensure that OBSE is used when the game starts.

3. Install BOTH Oblivion and Shivering Isles Unofficial Patches.

4. You need both Modular Beautiful People 1.4.1 AND Modular Beautiful People Plus Plus version 92 or higher. They are two separate files. The latest MBP++ is located here http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=37368 and it has instructions on how to get the base MBP files. Just to be safe I would use the latest version of MBP++. Here is a link to a guide on where to find and install MBP and MBP++. http://www.loverslab.com/showthread.php?tid=1602

5. Enable boarder regions in the oblivion.ini

6. You need Lovers Resource and LoversPK(89 or higher) with Lovers with PK.esm activated. Its not a stated requirement but I would also have the other base lovers files, Lovers with PK.esp, the two animation priority esps, and LoversFSE activated as well. All other lovers mods may or may not work. So you'll have to experiment. See Hentaignome's post below. Remember its still Alpha, once Thomthom puts out a Beta version I suspect we'll start seeing patches appearing for popular Lovers mods.

7. Use BOSS to arrange your load order (which both OOM and Wyrebash have functionality with). Place ZMCPlayerSlave.esp before LoversPK.esp in your load order. If you are using a merged or bashed patch, uncheck the lovers mods first, build the patch and then reactivate the mods (per Ashal's lovers guide)

8. If your problem still persists I would recommend using TES4Edit which can be found on Nexus. Run it and then right click on ZMCPlayerSlave, select check for errors. If you get a whole bunch then there is likely a missing dependency. Also, for NPC issues check their entries and see if the file path for their faces, bodies, skin, equipment, etc...actually exist in your data folder. Take a look also to see if any other mods might be overwriting ZMCPlayerSlave's entries, especially regarding NPCs.

9. Still have problems? Might not be related to playerslave but your Oblivion setup. Check out this FAQ for help. http://forums.bethsoft.com/index.php?/topic/561101-unofficial-technical-faq/page__p__8103714#entry8103714

10. When all else fails check out this wiki. It has detailed and easily understandable instructions and advice when it comes to modding Oblivion. http://tescosi.com/wiki/Main_Page

Good guide, Thanks Reigor.

 

I have also run this mod with LoversPK90 and it works well.

[HentaiGnome]

Would just like to add from personal experience with PlayerSlave in that LoversJoburg and any special idle animation mods should be disabled prior.

 

- LoversJoburg (unless configured properly ingame) will cause random NPCs you encounter along the way to rape your PC. It breaks immersion and (worse case scenario) could break the actual script of PlayerSlave.

 

- Regarding special idle animations, during the scene where your PC is tortured, your PC will try to perform an idle causing the character to "fall" to the floor halfway from where she's bound. I don't have a screenshot since I've already removed PlayerSlave a long time ago (as I'm waiting for an update) but trust me when I say it looks weird lol.

 

Maybe these problems were just on my end but I tried a couple of different installations of Oblivion and played around with PlayerSlave in various ways, but always ended up experiencing these problems so long as I had LoversJoburg and some special idle animation installed. I hope in a future update these issues are addressed, or at least be mindful about these things the next time we play PlayerSlave.

This plugin has great potential, but boy does it need work. That walk to Chorrol is a bitch.

This plugin has great potential' date=' but boy does it need work. That walk to Chorrol is a bitch.

[/quote']

 

I've heard if you wait/sleep for 12 hours in a place (probably chorrol) the slaver comes to you and enslaves you, making the walk MUCH shorter (although It might cause CTDs).

But still, much more needs to be added.

[Reigor]

Its Chorrol, since that's where the slave auction house is located. When I tried this method I only had to wait one hour, though when the slaver attacked me a nearby guard protested and started shooting him. Was amusing.

[lolicatgirls9]

I think the one thing I want most is an option to fast-forward the walk to Chorrol. Like, I still want to walk, but I would like to be able to skip some of the walk with a function similar to Wait, and maybe end up near Chorrol so I can watch a bit of the walk.

[Reigor]

This subject came up in the PlayerSlave thread over in the Downloads section, first dozen or so pages if I remember right. The solution that Thomthom decided on was a camping system to break up the gameplay of the "Long Walk". Further discussion is probably best done on that thread and keep this one just for troubleshooting technical problems.

[windu190]

I've done everything, but no matter how long or where I wait. No one shows up! D:

Help!

[windu190]

anyone?

[thomthom]

anyone?

 

The form ids might be different in the version I published here last.. my notes say "slaver 76f9". Which means, find the load order ID of my mod. In my case its "8B". Wyre Bash shows this in the second column.

 

Start a new game, be sure you are through the tutorial and actually playing the game.

 

Open the console, type:

"8B0076f9".moveto player

 

You will need the quotes, otherwise it will complain.

 

This should teleport the slaver directly to the player and he should begin attacking.

 

The alternative console command after a new game is:

"coc borderwatchinn"

 

If neither of these produce results, then I am not sure what the problem could be. You may want to check that you have the mod selected? Maybe you have some non-normal overhauls installed?

 

[bigteo]

I tried everything, and every time I get hit by the Slaver, the game just crashes. Is there anything solution or is it because I don't have mod that makes him rape you?

[Reigor]

bigteo - You don't need a rape mod as the slaver doesn't normally rape the character. What is supposed to happen is that the slaver's club knocks you unconscious for a moment and then the character is stripped, bound and, gagged. From what you describe I can think of two things. The first is a script error of some sort, do you have Oblivion Script Extender (OBSE) installed? The second is maybe the CTD is caused by the 2nd slaver who is a Tolkein Elf from Modular Beautiful People plus plus. I would check out the install guide for MBP in its troubleshooting thread. You might be fine with just reinstalling it.

[WitchGirl]

I am having some problem and for the life of me I can't understand why or what is causing it; I'm attempting to sleep and as soon as, I presume the slaver tries to talk to me or engage me or appear on screen (generally I'm at the loading screen) the game crashes at a black screen and I can't figure out what's causing it.

My sparse bare bones trying to figure out what is causing the problem (still crashes) load order is;

Oblivion.esm
Lovers with PK.esm
Beautiful People 2ch-Ed.esm
DLCShivering Isles.esp
Lovers With PK.esp
ZMCPlayerSlave.esp
Beautiful People 2ch-ED Vanilla Race.esp
Beautiful People 2ch-ED Merged Hair Modules.esp
Beautiful People 2ch-ED Merged Eye Modules.esp
Beautiful People 2ch-ED Disable BandBlindMask.esp
Beautiful People 2ch-ED Sheogorath Eye.esp 
HGEC_Special_Armor_Repl.esp
LoversAnimObjectsPriority.esp
LoversFES.esp
LoversIdleAnimsPriority.esp

 

Help?

[Reigor]

Witchgirl - Some assumptions, the game crashes when playerslave is installed? Your character is at the Inn (name escapes me, its in the readme)? You need 1.4.1 and .94 or better respectively. Your load order, while short seems a bit off. I would order it with BOSS (Better Oblivion Sorting Software) and then consult with the Lovers FAQ to get the proper load order for the lovers mods specifically.

[WitchGirl]

Alright I got BOSS and adjusted my load order, as well as just re installing virtually every mod I had. My new load order is:

Oblivion.esm
Beautiful People 2ch-Ed.esm
Lovers with PK.esm
LoversCreature.esm
DLCShiveringIsles.esp
HGEC_Special_Armor_Repl.esp
LoversFSE.esp
LoversRaperS.esp
ZMCPlayerSlave.esp
Lovers with PK.esp
LoversCreature.esp
LoversTrueCrimeEx.esp
UchainBeast.esp
Beautiful People 2ch-Ed Disable Bandblindmask.esp
Beautiful People 2ch-Ed Sheogorath Eye.esp
Beautiful People 2ch-Ed Vanila Race.esp
Beautiful People 2ch-Ed Merged Hair Modules.esp
Beautiful People 2ch-Ed Merged Eye Modules.esp
LoversIdleAnimsPriority.esp
LoversAnimObjectPriority.esp

I sleep at Boarder Watch Inn, the guy shows up (This is where the game used to crash) he clubs me, sex 'fails to start', he gags me (there's a big pink square where the gag&such icon is for ___ is added) he tries to leave, I can walk around a little and then the game crashes.

 

Now for whatever reason; it just seems to crash as soon as he shows up, I can see him standing there he reaches for his club, crash.

[Reigor]

The sex fails to start is likely from loversrapers, try turning that off with its in game configuration. For clarification is the pink square in your inventory or on your character's mouth? My memory is failing weather the ball gag item was included in the playerslave download. The club problem sounds like an OBSE issue. Make sure you have it installed and done so properly according to its readme.

 

Finally a reminder. ZMCPlayerSlave in its current form is an alpha teaser. All it does is have the slaver capture the character, march her naked across Tameriel, and then sell her to an auction house owner. Then the character is put in a gamebreaking loop of parking and brief training. The mod is a demonstration of what is possible, but is not playable at this time. So this is a warning that maybe not too much effort should be made to get it to work if it proves frustrating. Eventually, hopefully, maybe soon, maybe later the author will put out a playable version, but in the meantime this demo is all thats available. Also, you might want to concider checking out LoversCrowningIsle which has some slavery elements deep in its quest line, however it has a lot of bestiality which might not be one's cup of tea.

[lostsheeple]

This mod definitely has potential, are you ever going to release another version? I mean just implementing the changes you list as finished in the change log here would make a world of difference.

 

So I happen to be running Galgat Blackmail, which adds as one feature a system of teleports to every city in Tamriel routed through one headquarters. Your character can't use them, usually, unless she's currently enslaved by characters of that mod.

 

So when the slaver woke me up and hit me over the head in my shack in the IC, he led me to the nearest portal and over into Chorrol, thus skipping the whole long walk altogether. So that was funny, and also convenient, though maybe you wouldn't want that to happen if there were some hijynx to be had while on the road.

[Guest]

Um where do i start? I mean i instalted the mod and I don't now what to do :|

[Guest]

Lol I just found it

[Guest]

Can anyone help me? My PC just glides back when she is captured by the slaver. Plz Help!

[Reigor]

This guide only applies to the old Playerslave alpha that TomTom posted, the new mod has different requirements as listed in its first post in the download section. I haven't played with the new one yet so I would ask for help in the playerslave thread.
