Guest Posted April 17, 2018 Posted April 17, 2018 Shizzle! That was a great mini roundup of Ivy, for sure! And Reg, happy to hear the OnItemAdded is working the charm for you. Now, to look into the 30 minute video I would need to overview RSE... LOL!

But with all these bad sides to prostitution I'm thinking it's going to need to have more positive sides as well, more caps, perhaps a perk... 'Pimp'.. CH +1 STR +1 for male players 'Madame'.. +25% Damage to males, CH +1 for female players Effects count as long as Ivy's prostitution is enabled. Never thought there were any positive sides to it. As for perks for pimping her, I feel bad enough for her already for what that science guy forced on her. I'd kinda feel a bit worse being rewarded for it haha. 1

If you lot wanna have an exclusive-to-Ivy's thread sneak peek: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8tQelIir7E tell me if you think it will/will not be helpful to first-timers. Please? Gonna have a kip. Whew! That last shot of Jet really took it outta me. Just watched your video. Definitely enjoyed it. The part about 2:03 in was funny as hell. 1

I'm going to try to implement this, then players can finish these quests both through dialogue, or the trade menu, whatever they prefer. (edit) So I added a ref alias to the Jet quest (pointing to the reference alias in Ivy's companion quest), then attached this script to the alias, am about to test it out. (edit 2) Never mind! Got it to work! So cool when Ivy thanks you when you give her some Stimpaks! I'll extend this to what the player adds to his/her inventory, so Ivy can make specific remarks on certain objects the player picks up. And in the next release you'll be able to finish the mini-fetch quests by either trading or talking to Ivy. Another thing you might want to think about (given that you can now check Ivy's inventory for increasing item counts, you ought to be able to check decreasing as well), is to add in comments when you remove things from Ivy as well. Like removing Caps or a Stimpack.

Were the sound files all unpacked into the right directory, can you check? steamapps\common\Fallout 4\data\Sound\FX\mus\radio\ivyradio There should be sound files in there. Does this file exist? steamapps\common\Fallout 4\data\Scripts\Fragments\Quests\QF__ivy_activate_Quest_0101A6A1.pex If not then your installation went wrong. If you've tried your load order already (properly) then I don't know what to say. It must be an incompatibility with one of your mods. The radio is the simplest form of a quest that could run, so some other mod must be overriding the priority or stopping it (e.g. Fast Start mods). By using quest commands you should be able to set the radio quest stage for Ivy to the proper stage, kick starting the radio to work. Another possibility is that one of your other radio mods is using the exact same radio frequency as Ivy is. I tried MY BEST to get a 'main' radio frequencies list going (or find it on the web) but no one was interested, I guess modders like the chaos of knowing that any other radio mod can make their mods useless by one simple frequency... FYI. Ivy's radio station is on frequence 99.69.
Tr_veller Posted April 18, 2018 Posted April 18, 2018 Please. For the Love of GOD turn off the sodding music in the video! Please, please, please. I bet of you. Turn the Freaking music off..... 1
landess Posted April 18, 2018 Posted April 18, 2018 Just started trying this out myself - works great! Using all the options I was pleased to see Lazman's vanilla replacer integrated with this mod flawlessly. Since I use an older version of 'everything', having loose files available to drop into existing folders would be nice as you expand this project. For example: I've noticed a lot of users seem concerned with having a live voice actress, while I myself, really dig the computer voice. It adds something different and I'd hate to lose this in future builds. Anyways - fantastic job! I'm really happy I decided to check out yet 'another' companion mod. Thanks! 4
Reginald_001 Posted April 18, 2018 Author Posted April 18, 2018 I don't think a voice actress will be doing over 3500 lines of dialogue.. it'll be a project of weeks, not to mention I'm not really in the mood to go over all that audio, normalize it, master it, then replace each and every one by hand. So no worries, the robotic voice is staying. And it will also make translations easier as people can just download a french speech synth and translate her audio as well. Ok. I just added another 250 idles for 'your thoughts', sitting and in some other areas/events where I figured it was needed. Ideally I would like Ivy to store information on what's been visited, then she can remark on your return to that location... but I am going to put a stop to myself and will be calling the current build on my harddisk 3.2. Hopefully I'll release it this weekend as sort of a 'Final' version for Ivy in the wasteland. For that final release this weekend I'll pull all of Ivy's speech through an intelligent volume filter, instead of the brute force one that was used till now, including some very light dynamic compression for better in game speech clarity. I will then begin on the DLC addons for Nukaworld and Far Harbor. If my creative juices have not bled dry by then, and my skills take me far enough, then I'll dive into the origin quest for Ivy after the DLC is done. (I've set up some test maps, but creating quests and new map content is a whole different ballgame). 4
DominusKaine Posted April 18, 2018 Posted April 18, 2018 Random thought... Have you or will you add any Ivy interjections to any of the unique random encounters? I am specifically referring to the random merchants that you can eventually recruit into your settlements (Ron Staples, The Scribe, et al.) and one-off vendors like Gene (sells dogs) and Kelly (sells brahmin). Ran into The Scribe during my last session and was wondering what Ivy would say. I imagined there may have been some brief history between the two possibly involving some power armor. Could be a neat (or dark) little anecdote considering her brother's demise. Anyways, like I said—just a random thought. 1

Yeah, I got that feeling when watching the vid again, didn't really like it that much. So back to the drawing board. I'm still learning. Thanks for bearing with me.

There may be something you can use from the vanilla affinity system seeing as they always complain about you picking up junk all the time. Also, I think Wastelander Barb has a modified version of this as well. Lovely mod. Still a fav of mine, but she's broken for me now only working until you have to reload unfortunately. Flashy's probably got the right (more reliable/less intrusive) way of implementing it though. Since I have to start anew with his 3.7.1 update, I'll go through the normal startup to see if it is my fast start mod that's breaking the radio. 1

I'm cashing in on the onitemadded event, trying to add it to the player like I added it to Ivy, nearly there. Also learned a thing or two more about dialogue while I was at it, and moved some dialogue from 'misc' into the proper 'player dialogue' tab, now I can reference these topics and say them from script. It's all pretty nifty and very clean now thanks to Flashy's help. 13 minutes ago, figarodlc said: It's all good, my friend.

BGM was a bit on the annoying side, IMO, but nothing that would make me want to berate you for it. I appreciated it, and you showcased Ivy very well. I was more concerned about spoilers in the video, but that was part of the reason for the vid to begin with. The fact that you got it uploaded so quickly is a marvel. BTW, your game looks great. I can't get it to look that smooth on my rig (laptop+2nd monitor). I think the UWS monitor is just overtaxing my 980m via an hdmi bottleneck. Ah well, c'est la vie. 2

Yer, feel the same way you do about that. Not sure how far to go sometimes, 'cos there's just too much good stuff to reveal! I want any video I create about Ivy to reflect well on Ivy and all the hard work Reginald has put into her. Rather tall order to fill, yeah? You have plans to upgrade your system? I know I do. It's pretty well taxed to the limit. RAM is not that great. I really want an SSD and a couple of hard drives to store video footage. But it will all have to wait. %$#!!*& income taxes to pay. 1

I definitely feel you on the video should reflect the monumental work Reginald put in. I agree with others in this thread. It should be about support and encouragement rather than how big a troll's balls are. This is why I hang my hat on LL instead of the Nexus. Great stuff over there too, but I end up feeling more "dirty" over there than over here. Ironic, yea? Anyways, rant over. I've no plans to upgrade this year. I just got this laptop beginning of last year or so. It's an Alienware 17R3: 32gb ram, 16gb vram on a 980m, a 1 TB hybrid drive (256gb on the SSD side + 990ish gb on the traditional platter), and a 17in screen @ 3840x2160 res. It's not bad in any sense, and I've yet to overclock it. In all fairness though, I am driving my curved Samsung 34in @ 3440x1440 via HDMI and no graphics amp with it. I'm kind of waiting to see what's slated for next year and gift this one to my stepson. He's been beggin and is at the point that he wants to run an affiliate webstore just so he can make some money to buy his own gaming laptop. He's 12! LOL Keep plugging away at your videos, bro. Visually, they look great, but we all know that half of video is the audio. It's difficult to find that balance. Previous music totally fit in with the shirt though. I thought that was pretty funny. Did you record on the same machine? If so, what did you use? If not, did you use OBS studio or w/e it's called to record? @Reginald_001 I've restarted several times with no xxx mods, no companion mods, no survival mode mods, even with no CBBE/Looksmenu mods and I cannot, for the life of me, get that intro radio advertisement to play fresh out of the vault. I even ran through a barebones restart with just the official DLCs and Ivy running on Very Hard instead of Survival and still no success for me. I mention the survival mode mods because most of those don't even have an ESP/ESL. Everything (game, mods, f4se, etc.) is up to date as of FO4 v1.10.82. I know it's not a game-breaking issue, but damn if it's not ear-worm class irritation for me now. Regular radio after redemption works great as usual. 1
Ghostman7nz Posted April 19, 2018 Posted April 19, 2018 Hey all, I've run into an issue with Ivy and want to hear if anyone else is noticing it or if it's just for me. I am playing a stealth play through with ivy as my only companion. The problem is that she will randomly stand up while moving in stealth mode. she doesn't say anything most of the time, just stands up and wanders around for just long enough to alert everything in the area then goes back to sneaking. She will still randomly make comments while crouched as expected. I noticed it most when going through the turnpike tunnel with all the feral ghouls.

Have not had a problem with Ivy breaking stealth for me (yet), but so far my stealth ops with her as companion have been ranged - i.e. sniping. It's a common issue with many, if not most, companions. https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/164592-fallout-4/73461651 Not sure if you are using any other mods that might mess with companion AI, but you might want to have a look there first, then placing Ivy below the mod(s) in load order. Being that Ivy is now factioned with the generic followers faction, this mod might work. Definitely worth a trial: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/5612 If you do try this, would you be so kind as to let us all know if it works? 1

I know it's not a game-breaking issue, but damn if it's not ear-worm class irritation for me now. Regular radio after redemption works great as usual. It's a pretty basic quest setup, holding two stages, non-recruited (default) and recruited (after recruiting). I will create a specific patch for you to see if we can figure this out together. I'd be interested in knowing why the radio just isn't playing. But we need to go through all the basics first. Can you check if the sound files exist? There should be 26 XWM files here: steamapps\common\Fallout 4\data\Sound\FX\mus\radio\ivyradio - I am *not* using the latest version of Fallout 4, because it breaks F4SE. I can try to update my Fallout 4 and see if that would create the bug? (e.g. one of the Fo4 updates would be the cause then). - If regular radio works, then the quest is working (as recruited/uncrecruited radio are the same quest). This is the quest setup, pretty standard. The first phase of this quest has 2 conditionals, the player radio must be on and it's frequency must be set to 99.69, this means the first radio signal only kicks off when the player is listening to their radio. Then the regular phase kicks off, no conditionals. This means that theoretically only TWO conditionals could be causing it not to play: - Either you're not using the player radio - The player radio is not set to the right frequency. Now if I'd be doing anything exotic with scripting.. sure.. this could be an issue. But right now? Shit I just don't see cause for this, other than some kind of mod that does something to the player radio..
