ALPHA 0.8.8: Devil in the Details


I've gotten some criticism in the past for expending effort on recoding, and this update is likely to receive more. The majority of my time on this one went to reworks of existing code, mostly to do with the UI. I understand the arguments, and in some cases I agree and leave bad code as it is because improving it wouldn't be worth the time. However, my gradually improving skills do mean that it's sometimes worthwhile to make another pass over old code, especially where some of the worst UI elements are concerned. Since the FC code is, without exaggeration, 99% of my coding experience, recoding something I added in 0.2.x means that I'm looking at it again with many times the coding experience I had when I wrote it.

This is also a good time to repeat what I've said in the past about requests, since this update includes some really niche stuff. The coding difficulty of fulfilling a request plays a dominant role in how soon or even whether I fulfill it. I'm reasonably certain the requests for foreskin restoration came from a single player, and the option will be used by a few players at most, but it was actually quite an easy add. Coding difficulty isn't necessarily obvious without looking at the code, especially where I have similar, preexisting code to draw on.

  1. Ooh, what are the new outfits? The synergies between outfits and hairstyles and fetishes and stuff is one of my favorite aspects of this game and I almost wish there was a chart for all the reactions out there

  2. I don't see why anyone would criticize effort spent towards recoding the game. I mean, bugs need to be squashed, and in this case, these UI improvements were LONG overdue.

    In fact, the only real criticism I've ever had of this game was related to the UI and I've seen it get steadily better over the last couple of months. So to me, updates that have "UI improvement" in them are probably more exciting than a new game mechanic.

    Also, would you mind including this fix for the SF mod prosperity bug on the next patch/version? I just noticed it wasn't even though an anon suggested it on the comments of the previous version so for those that want to use the mod, they have to manually fix it by themselves at the moment.

    1. Are you using an older save than v0.8.7.0, and not using New Game Plus? Text right beside the download links 'Saves from previous versions are incompatible, but 0.8+ saves are eligible for New Game Plus.'

      You could also try going to Options and scroll to the bottom and clicking on 'Enable backwards compatibility' as that variable has been included into the comparability section, but I have no clue if other new variables have been or not.

      Enable backwards compatibility
      Select this option to make saves older than 0.8.7 compatible. If you see a lot of red error messages after loading a save file, using this option may make it possible to continue. Untested for saves earlier than 0.6.

    2. The policyCost bug mentioned by logincrash (as far as I can tell at least) happened to me, too. New game, no old save. It also managed to reset my cash each and every round, most likely since it affected my upkeep number, too, right from day one.

  7. Error: <>: bad evaluation: slaves is not defined Error: <>: bad evaluation: slaves is not defined $subSlave.slaveName has been a very good girl this week, so when her tight anus catches your eye near the start of a long inspection, you decide to be kind to her as you conduct the rest of your inspection with your cock. Aanya is next on the inspection schedule, and when she comes into your office, it's to the sight of $subSlave.slaveName's back and rear as she lazily rides her Master. You've been sitting on the couch, making out with the compliant girl as she rides you, for a good half hour. Poor $subSlave.slaveName was pent up when you started, and she's climaxed already; she's feeling very devoted and relaxed at the moment, and is doing her best to get you off, too. When you finally come, she moans her thanks into your mouth nonverbally, breaks your lip lock, gives you a peck on the nose, and climbs off you. As she does, she lifts her ass off your cock, her still-tight backdoor sliding quickly off you, visibly slick with cum. You didn't fuck her too hard, but you're not small, and she walks a little gingerly as she heads for the bathroom. Aanya, standing there nude for inspection, stares openmouthed at $subSlave.slaveName as she goes. She's obviously unfamiliar with anal sex.

    Aanya coughs and looks doubtful, like she's mulling over a question. You let the poor repressed girl chew on it for a while, and eventually she bursts out, "Master, what were you doing with $subSlave.slaveName?" The absurdity gives you a moment's pause, but you answer gamely that you were fucking her ass. Aanya blushes furiously but plunges on, "I'm s-sorry, Master, but I still don't understand. I thought sex happened in a v-vagina. I d-didn't think b-butts were - were for, you know, that."

      for the dna damage glitch you can always send your slaves back to the clinic and even though they might get kicked out it after 1 turn, their dna damage levels will be lowered by a small amount each time they get out of the clinic (only seen this happen with slaves that have 4 or less dna damage)

  10. Special order needs to be updated. Slaves ordered from there has fixed amount of height. For example a slave with average height ordered from there will be always 165cm. It lacks options of very beautiful and very ugly faces. It also doesn't have face shapes to chose like cute and sensual.

  11. You call out to stop her, and she turns obediently to listen; you tell her to take the day off and meet you that evening for a trip to Haven's most fashionable nightclub. You emphasize slightly that it's a place you prefer to enjoy with a young slave, and her eyes widen a little at the implied compliment and challenge. Right at the proper time, she arrives in your office wearing neon black makeup to match her hair, and a tiny iridescent clubgirl outfit of the same color. The hem of the skirt is barely low enough to conceal her pussy, and it's backless. The front is held up by a halter around her pretty neck, and is strained by her big tits. She makes a gaudy and very fashionable spectacle, and in response to your look she raises both arms over her head and twirls, shimmying her body deliciously. "I hope they let me into the club without checking my I.D., Master," she jokes, for which she receives a swat on her rear as you head out. With the full day of rest, she is full of vigor and ready to dance. She eagerly heads out onto the floor with you, masterfully moving her body to the heavy beat, grabbing the attention of all the men and most of the women in the Club. It doesn't take long for her to back herself into you so she can grind; she cranes her neck back to plant an earnest kiss on your chin.

    Neon black makeup? That is a new one to me!

  18. Request: Could there be a Cheat option at the start to allow for more money when rolling initial slaves but NOT the current setting that also turns debug mode on, saddles you with that big set of pregen'd slaves and also sets the RA to a bunch of non-default settings? I enjoy trying out the early game every once in a while but the busywork of having to cleanup the standard cheatmode's options (sell slaves, reset RA settings, turn debug off) is a chore, when all I want is essentially a bit more starting cash cheated in.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. You could do what I do.

      Open the game with a Texteditor like "Notepad++". Either go to line 23689 or use the search function and search for "Cheat Start". There you have the "[$cash += 1000000,$girls to 3,$rep += 10000,$dojo..........." line. Just take the cash option and put in the line above. And tadaa you have now alot of starting money.

      So the line above cheat should like this:
      [[Continue|init Nationalities][$cash += 6000000,$girls to 2]]

      Enjoy.

      You can also use that to change any other value you want. Just be careful, but it is rather easy.

  21. Unable to purchase any slaves from other arcologies even when we have the same policies. We both have Chattel Religionism along with Pastoralist, Paternalist, and Body Purist but still says I have a social misalignment.

    You visit the slave markets off the arcology plaza. It's always preferable to examine merchandise in person. You're in the area of the slave market that specializes in slaves from within the Free City, viewing slaves from Glory. Some were trained there, specifically for sale, while others are simply being sold. They're often gratifyingly devoted and trusting. They're quite pristine, free of any genomic damage or addictions regardless of any transformations they've had. They're usually on the younger side. Lactation is nearly universal among them, sometimes in ludicrous quantities. They tend to have huge udders, as well. Your arcology's very different culture from Glory's makes its slaves unhappy with the prospect of life in your arcology, and afraid of what will happen to them there.

    Your social misalignment with Glory drives up the price. The offered price is ¤.
    You lack the necessary funds to buy this slave.

    6. due to the new changes of not updating after every change, you have to click the update button for it to show up or just click confirm, this is due to the fact taht there is lacking code that rewrites the current page, and just keep using the old refresh way of showing the changes.

    This means that on the few occasions where the slave.boobs is exactly at 9000+(slave.muscles*1000), the game thinks that she can walk but the description will say that she's immobilized. Fix? Change < to <=.

    3. If I'm not mistaken things get calculated during the end of week, for leaders in facilities, actually probably for every slave in facilities.
      Also of note Leaders cost of living goes up as in living in luxury, so your upkeep might even rise on the left hand bar. But if the slave is well trained and meets the requirements she'll lower in the upkeep after you end the week. My upkeep with a Stewardress and one slave in the The Servants' Quarters had an upkeep of 9250 after a week it dropped to 8050.

    1. this basically is already like this, you just cant see the "checkbox", the current problem is just the way the game handles the changes, rather then having code that alter the current page it refreshes the page to reload the data with the new change

  41. Ordering a petite slave from the custom slave ordering place will still give you a 0cm slave.

    Also it would be nice if you could just order for the ethnicity not a country since I don't really care where they are from, but that they are the race that I want.

  42. I'm getting an error when trying to build prosthetic limbs, and when trying to talk to my slaves

  43. Ne, FCdev. Could you add support for mixed-race supremecist/degredationalist societies? I have a very specific fetish, and given the weird interaction between mixed-race and race-changing surgery I think I can make it work even given the low numbers of mixed race slaves in the game.

  44. I cannot manage to have the RA work in facilities, whatever parameters I use.
    It doesn't even work if I apply the relevant ruleset to the specific slaves in the facility.

    I'm using v0.8.8.1, and I'm running the game through Firefox.

    Is it just me, or is this a know issue?

    1. Uh, yes. I thought someone else took care of it, but the bug is due to missing a closing /if tag. To fix it you need to insert it manually at the right location. How comfortable are you with editing the game yourself? If you aren't it's probably better to wait for the next hotfix and live with the bug for a few more days.

  46. Menu bug: when I put someone on female hormones, I can't increase the dosage (only shows male and female). I need to go back to the home page then come back, and it doesn't confirm that she is on heavy hormones (even though it does in the home page). Also, the third option disappear for the living standard, speech rules, and relationship rules when I select one of them.

    Also, my rival and hostage keep starting a lover relationship, even though both relationship rules are set to restrictive. Is this intended?

  48. atm you cant change anything about yourself other then during the prologue, where you can only change spoken sex, boobs or not, dick or vag.

    but this would be a nice feature which could add to the slave interaction, like a big dick makes you more terrifying for inexperienced slaves or something like that.
    the player could have a similar menu to the slaves, so you can change your own appearance which could have effects on your interaction with slaves and the freecity. but we are probably a long way away from that. but could slowly be implemented.

  49. I wanted to give the Cheat Enabled game a try to see what could be altered and I've come across a bug during the End Week detailed report pages. In my one game I had just over 21 million in cash but after continuing past the facility report and slave stat change I suddenly had less than 11000 cash. According to the economics report I should have made money but instead lost almost all my money. Here is the report:

    FC Markets Report: ...law would legalize enslavement, driving high prices for associated...

    Personal Business
    You have significant assets. This week, your business endeavors made you ¤465549. This week, you gave up business opportunities worth ¤1094 to help deserving citizens, burnishing your reputation.
    This week, routine upkeep of your demesne costs ¤167045.
    The price of slaves has naturally fallen slightly.

    The Corporation
    Your corporation made a profit of ¤67156 last week. It was a great week for enslavement; in total, the corporation has enslaved 1384 people. The corporation has only enough training and medical assets to maintain the value of its human holdings. Since it is now highly profitable, a large dividend of ¤1/share was paid out to stockholders; you received ¤17500. The market consensus is that your corporation is undervalued, driving share prices sharply up. Shares in your corporation are trading at ¤162.29: up 12.28 since last week. You hold 17500 shares personally while 13000 are publicly held. The corporation issued 500 new shares, driving the share price down slightly.
    Corporate assets
    ¤36656 in cash on hand. You directed the corporation to sell conflict zone enslavement assets.

    Arcology Management
    Your welcome program for new citizens helps encourage wealthy people from the old world to immigrate, but annoys some longstanding citizens. The rent promotion for new immigrants brings new citizens to the arcology. Your propoganda in the old world encourages desperate refugees to come here and become menial slaves. Poor citizens can rely on their better-off peers in Eden. Chattel Religionism helps some poor citizens see slavery as a spiritually pure fate. The pastoralization of Eden helps concentrate wealth in the hands of a few. 7133 citizens, 1334 sex slaves, and 179879 menial slaves live in your arcology. The slave population as a whole is unusually accepting of its station. The slaves are well cared for, and it can sometimes be difficult to tell slaves from citizens. The average slave is quite healthy. Since most citizens cannot afford their own sex slaves, demand for sexual services is intense.
    Slaveowners who can prove that they abstain from certain practices are given a reduction to their rent. This week, rents from Eden came to ¤53693. The degenerating world economy makes supplying and maintaining Eden extremely difficult. This week, bribes and other costs to keep it running came to ¤2370764. You own 177611 menial slaves, earning you ¤3623264. Some refugees and other desperate people filtered towards the arcology during the week: as owner, you were able to enslave 2 of them. Your arcology is nearly at its maximum prosperity, and your rents will not increase further once it is at maximum capacity.

    This is off a fresh game using 0.8.8.1 and I'm not sure where my money is going. I should have a few million creds left, not under 11000.

  51. The Master Suite will randomly reset the # of rooms back to 1 after ending the week. It's not consistent as I tried to replicate it after leaving then re-entering the suite or ending multiple weeks but it does happen. Using 0.8.8.1.

  53. Bug.

    <<elseif ($arcologies[0].FSDegradationist isnot "unset") && ($arcologies[$i].FSPaternalist isnot "unset")>>
    <<set $activeSlave.devotion to random(12,18)>>
    <<set $activeSlave.trust to 20>>
    ''$arcologies[$i].name'' is Degradationist, and your arcology is Paternalist. To its slaves, other niceties of social alignment are trivial. They view your arcology as a promised land.

    FSDegradationist and FSPaternalist should be swapped.
    By the way, I don't think trust should be raised here, at least not this much. The slaves should still be traumatized from their time in their old arcology and they don't know if you will tolerate anything but complete obedience.

  58. Not sure if bug or feature. On very rare occasions, it is possible to get skills higher than 3. I had a masterful sex slave that I carried into new game plus. Later, she recruited her mother as a slave. Relatives are created based on the recruiter, but the code randomly adds +1 to the mother's skills, presumably to make the mother slightly better than the daughter (MILF > teen, amirite). So in my particular case, the mother ended up with oral, whore, and entertain of 4. This didn't seem to break anything as I played for 10 more weeks without noticing, but then I made her Head Girl and I started noticing that slaves that are already masterful is somehow still getting taught skills. I checked the numerical stats and noticed some slaves have 4 in a few skills.

    Since slaves that are masters in certain skills can be acquired at a price in the slave market, I believe this can happen even without using New Game+. I'm not sure if this is worth fixing, but I thought I'll let you know. (and for those who tries to create the perfect waifu, ha, now you can have a new goal to obsess over)

    1. Ah, turns out skill descriptions can't handle skill of 4 and treats it like 0. Just the description though. Sexual score works fine because it uses a formula rather a series of if-then and money/rep are calculated correctly.

  62. Two notes:

    One - In the event where a slave may ask to replace the current Head Girl, I just had an odd moment where the replacing slave was complaining that my current HG was inadequate because she lacked a vagina. My current HG is also pregnant. There should probably be a check there.

    Two - Occasionally, when I get a LOT of money (usually a few million) it knocks me back down to only 30k money. Little annoying.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Relating to two, do you have the market assistant active, and is their minimum set to 30k?

      Delete
    2. Yup. Could that be causing the issue?

      Delete
    3. How many menial slaves do you have? About 3000? That will cost 2.4 million, assuming a low price of 800. If the amount of menial slaves you have is around there, what happened is that your market assistant program kicks in because slave prices are low enough and spent everything but 30k on menials. The money doesn't go away. You can always sell the slaves back or you can just hold them and get the money and sell them later.

      Delete
    4. The Market Assistant will buy and sell menial slaves based on that value.

      If your money is higher than that and slave prices are low your market assistant will buy menial slaves until it hits that point. Say you have 1 million money, and prices go really low, it'll buy slaves until it goes to around 30k.

      If your money is below that point and slave prices are high, it will sell slaves until your about the point you set.

      Delete
    5. Forgot to add, chances are if one of your future society options is Roman Revivalism and your market assistant is on, your money will stay practically frozen at whatever minimum you set as the society option will keep slave prices very low and your market assistant will keep buying ever week.

    Replies
    1. Currently the game caps your arcology's prosperity at 30.0. You may notice that other arcologies aren't capped. I think that means that eventually the cap will be expanded later once more late-game/end-game stuff is added. But for now 30 is the cap.

  64. Um, I don't know if this constitutes a bug, but I noticed I wasn't getting the "loving concubine" random event anymore and can't access it through debug either. Also, my "tired milkmaid" RE posits my milkmaid having a penis and testicles as well as 0 cows in the dairy, both of which are false.

  65. There's are rather nasty bug when running a supremacist arcology and having the "Universal Enslavement" policy employed (FSSupremacistLawME == 1): Whenever a slave of the chosen race is created, it will lead to a black screen! This might happen in several situations where slaves are auto-generated (market, surviving the invasion with crushing success...). The reason seems to be the last if-clause in the "Generate XY Slave" section (line 11213):

    <<if $arcologies[0].FSSupremacistLawME == 1>>
    <<if $activeSlave.race is $arcologies[0].FSSupremacistRace>>
    <<goto "Generate XX Slave">>
    <</if>>
    <</if>>

    Changing the "goto" instruction to "display" seems to fix the issue, but I simply do not know enough of twine or the FC code base to tell if this might have unforeseen side effects.
    By the way, I do not understand this clause on a logical level: It seems to prevent the generation of new slaves of the supremacist race on several occasions once the "Universal Enslavement" policy is active. However, that seems not to be consistent with what the ingame description says: Universal Enslavement only states that there may be no citizens of an inferior race, but it does not say anything about the slave population.

  66. The health damage from corsetting seems to be applied twice?

    She occasionally comes to you to beg for sexual release, hating herself for it. The spare living conditions get her used to the routine of slavery. Since she's low in the slave hierarchy, she knows that the rule that slaves must get consent before having sex with her are all that protect her from abuse. The corset she's wearing is so tight that it's unhealthy. The corset she's wearing is so tight that she barely has breath to think, though she has enough to fear. It's also unhealthy. The corseting narrows her waist; she can now comfortably bear her corsetage. Her occasional presence in arcology pornography slightly increases her impact on society. Her blurred vision reduces her distaste for her life slightly, since her fuzzy vision allows her to ignore the details of everyone she's expected to fuck. Her mouth full of orthodontia is quite uncomfortable, and she's stupid enough to blame you for the discomfort. Her skinny body burns some fat off her big butt. She receives direct injections of advanced growth hormones, right into her buttocks; her health supports growth reasonably well, and her massive butt tend to grow slowly.

  67. BUG in Coursing Association

    The Lurching Event has three section, one for the first, second, and third hare. Each section is supposed to have a series of if-then statement for Lurcher with huge dick, normal dick, huge clit, dildo, and none of the above (e.g., a herm that can't get it hard). However, only the section for the first hare has the complete set of if-then. The second and third hare sections are missing the if-then for huge clit. Thus, a Lurcher with a huge clit can only get the correct result when catchingthe first hare. If she catches the second or third hare she will get the "can't get it hard" result. Copy-pasting the right sections should fix the event.

  68. Newer player, two quick questions about future features -

    1. Does bestiality fall under the "extreme fetish that will never be included" header? It's not an uncommon feature in settings like this (particularly given the "Degradationist" FS) and doesn't strike me as particularly more grotesque than quadruple amputation.

    2. Female characters cannot, as far as I can tell, make use of their shemale slaves' full feature set. (Neither can male characters, for that matter.) Does this fall too far outside the scope of "Author Interest?"
