HOW can i accept the rules if im not allowed to type? am i missing something? Thanks for any help

 

You can't type, but you can click the icon (reaction) of the explosion right below the instructions. If you can't see a little image of an atomic mushroom cloud then it's possible you've disabled emoji reactions in your Discord preferences for some reason, so turn them back on temporarily if so.

Does anyone have any experience using the Midnight Rides backported downgrader with AAF?

Has the discord invite expired? Any time I try to join it, it says it's invalid.

I've had that happen to me at random with other Discord invites (not the AAF one), and if I follow the same invite from another computer the server gets added to my account just fine. Not sure what causes that.

So I have an issue with AAF (currently using 161.1 from Nexus as i can't get the newer version yet) and when i open the admin page, it shows an error about an attribute missing:

raceList attribute missing from actorType Creature in actorType XML

I am using Vortex and here is my current mods and plugins:

 

 

 

 

I am wondering if there is something interfering with the file and checking the actorType_all.ini, the raceList attribute is present.
Any ideas?

This most likely means you have something overwriting the Data\AAF\AAF_actorTypeData_all.xml file. The one that came with AAF 161.1 has an entry like this:

 

	<group id="Creature">
		<actorType form="13795" id="ActorTypeCreature" raceList="RaiderDog,FeralGhoulGlowing,MirelurkQueen,Gorilla,Cat, Mirelurk King,YaoGuai,FEVHound,MirelurkHunter,Radstag,FeralGhoul,RadScorpion,Stingwing,Bloatfly,Brahmin,RadRoach,Molerat,Dogmeat,Deathclaw,Bloodbug,Mirelurk,ViciousDog"/>
	</group>

 

Does yours contain that? Your Vortex screenshot shows you have one or more resolved file conflicts for AAF, what are those and are any of them set to deploy "after" AAF instead of "before"?

So I'm confused (happens all the time). According to the post on Discord, an NG compatible version of AAF has just been released. But I can't for the life of me figure out where to download it. On Discord all I see are the terms rules and announcements, and I've clicked on just about everything I can find and searched every term I can find, and nothing. Is there just not a link yet? Or where am I supposed to be looking, since I don't see older versions, either. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

For whatever reason, some users have disabled "emoji reactions" in their Discord settings. If you have, you won't see the mushroom cloud/atomic explosion icon below the last post in the #rules channel. If you do see it, click it and the little count next to it should increase by one, indicating you've "reacted" with it. If the number decreases, you removed your reaction which is not what you want.

 

Once you've reacted to the last post in #rules, a "bot" should notice that action and open up access to additional channels for you pretty much instantly. If that didn't happen, then the bot may be having problems and so you might have to wait for a bit until it's fixed/working. Ideally, you should now have access to a channel called #aaf_public_release, and in there you'll find a post with AAF_V172-0_NG.7z attached and you can click the filename to download it.

Holy hell. I didn't have emoji reactions turned off, but I didn't know about the rules clicking thread opening thingie. Feels like I've been trying to solve some poorly explained quest puzzle for the last hour. If thanks were a dinosaur, I'd be giving you a brontosaurus sized one for saving my sanity. What's left of it, anyway.

The Discord server currently has no access to the current or in use AAF so I will have to wait until they give an update.

and yes, the xml file does have that. But I will try and disable a few mods and see if it lies with any of them.

Thanks again.

Except it does. Did you not read and follow the instructions in the #rules channel?

It's assumed that people will notice there's only a #rules channel and read the rules, then follow instructions. I understand that for many in the community, the English language is a struggle, and so these assumptions may not be obvious. Perhaps clearer indicators are needed.

[Brenold]

All is great, but I get "no access" to download the file.

[dagobaking]

You likely need to follow the instructions at the end of the rules page. That, or turn emojis back on in the settings.

Maybe you have javascript turned off in browser? Or don't have discord app installed?

Version 1.0 is here! No more beta!

 

After a short testing phase and a few small updates, the latest version is now public. Big thanks to EgoBallistic, CG!, the entire moderation team and everyone else who has pitched in with support, testing and feedback.

 

Some of the new features are fairly complicated, big changes and are not explained well in the changelog above. Please keep an eye on the wiki over the next few weeks. I will update that and include more complete details about these new structures and features there.

 

Download is available as usual on the AAF discord server (link in my signature).

 

Enjoy!

[JB.]

Oh, gotta say I'm afraid. 

I have a lot of scenes for the doppelganger (gesturing, even having dialogues during sex). With my luck everything is broken. 😭

 

 

Edit: But thanks for continuing to support and develop the framework, if we must go forward, we must go forward. 

 

Edit 2: I have requested the source code via the form on the AAF Wiki.

Just wanted to add: AAF version 1.0 works with both the NG (1.10.984) and non-NG (1.10.163) versions of Fallout 4.

[deathmorph]

Unfortunately, the version has been a total failure for me so far. I use the OldGen. During the current run, the game freezes immediately, and I can't start a new game. Extreme slideshow with additional pauses. Unplayable. After downgrading to 171, everything is back to normal.
What could be wrong? Unfortunately, I can't load the plugin list, the forum doesn't allow me to upload a text file and when I go to the spoiler, my message is completely empty.

That generally means you have NAF or parts of it installed.  Make sure there is no Data\NAF folder and that none of its scripts or plugin are installed.

Windows Defender reports this 7z archive as a malware ( https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wdsi/threats/malware-encyclopedia-description?name=Trojan%3AWin32%2FSuspExecRep.A!cl&threatid=2147900216 )

 

I guess it is false positive detection, but dagoba's rules doesn't allow publishing of a link to scan results. You can scan it by yourself, if you want at https://www.virustotal.com/

Use at your own risk.

It is a false positive.  Several people reported the same thing on Discord and all of them reported that testing with another virus scanner showed it was clean.

You were absolutely right. Thanks very much.
I had installed NAF previously. but then uninstalled it. However, Vortex left a NAF folder in which there was a bin. I deleted the folder and the game is now running smoothly again.
