Strive for Power

fixed: can now capture slaves in the wild (was broken in v1.5)
fixed: options now works correctly (they were broken in v1.5)
added: settings options for easymode, long-preg, and feral-preg
fixed: ponykin now have a default picture (rather than borrowing Taurus' default pic)
fixed: tails now get described
fixed: sometimes person will not have their 'global.rules' properly assigned, resulting is several kinds of breakages.
fixed: non-pony slaves will have horse dicks

FYI, I think the mod system is broken right now if 2 mod's modify the same file. I've been too lazy to test and report it, but I found that regardless of order, the last mod doesn't modify the result of the prior mod, but instead starts from the backup copy of the file all over, thus wiping out the prior mod's changes entirely.

Thus why right now it has to be end of the loading order, as my random portrait mod also modifies mainmenu.gd, but then this means your mod being at the end of the order is almost definitely wiping out my mod's changes to the file.

The bit I modify in mainmenu.gd is tiny though and not critical to the random portraits mod working. It was primarily a fix to have it re-choose portrait for starting slave after you customize them.

Any other mods though that modify any of the similar files will likely not play nice, even though you coded it to try and play nice as much as possible :(

Tweaked it a bit.

https://www.mediafire.com/file/dvb6wr61nrbqbvv/Pony.zip/file

Uploaded the .gd files.

Removed the unused bits so it won't overwrite code that it doesn't need.

This is the first successful race mod to my knowledge. I'm excited.

d.stu6 years ago

Glad to hear it.

Besides 'Removed the unused bits so it won't overwrite code that it doesn't need,' what all did you change? (I skimmed your upload, and nothing jumped out at me. I suppose I could use a compare app, but maybe you'd be able to let me know really easily.

I've been working hard on it this weekend; I Have:

- added pony 'shades' (default pictures)

- added tail descriptions

- fixed bug with corrupted girls being generated

- fixed a bug where sex interactions got totally broken

- gave names to dogs and horses, besides dog1 and horse1 (not pony related, I just liked it better this way)

- started working on a change in impregnation logic, where beastking wolf and beaskin pony girls can get preg from dogs and horses (also not strictly pony related, but it makes sense to me)

I actually used a compare app, then cut whatever wasn't changed from the default ;p

cut parts of assets.gd

cut parts of variables.gd

removed the file outside.gd

Nothing big. I did also remove the "easymode" stuff. Extra gold, modified pregnancy length, etc. That seemed more of a separate deal.

The bestial pregnancy sound interesting. We've already got parthenogenesis/ pregnancy as a side effect of magic toxicity.

d.stu6 years ago (1 edit)

Ok. I'll also take out more (dead) and unused code as I finalize my mod.

What's the name of the compare app? I'm presuming you'd recommend it?

The easy mode stuff is for easier testing. Sandbox mode doesn't give enough free stuff, and also doesn't have tainted essence anywhere atm. I'll add a config file for turning on and off features in a soon-ish patch.

The feral preg mode is currently working in my testing (fingers crossed). Certain beast girls now can get preg from dogs and horses. Added a line in the sex scenes when feral preg is possible:

var feral_text = " [names2] eyes widen as the {^feral dick:wild cock:animal penis:animalistic tool} ejaculates[s/1]. As a {^Beastkin:Beast girl:nearly feral girl:Beastkin}, [names2] womb is vulnerable to dangerous animal semen. "

That said, This probably should be a separate mod. Or an opt-in feature of the mod, at the very least. I'll work on separating them at some point. Maybe.

There's a compare plugin for notepad++

https://sourceforge.net/projects/npp-compare/

https://notepad-plus-plus.org/

Useful for plaintext. Has a handful of options.

v1.5 update:
Added options (ponysettings.gd). Edit with notepad to toggle optional content

Easymode: makes starting resources higher
Longpreg: increases pregnancy time and decreases growup time.
debug: makes the console very chatty
feralpreg: enable feral male on beastkin female impregnation

To do:
Clean up dead code
bug test more
fix corrupted saves bug (rare)
make adding more races or otherwise changing this mod easier for other users

v1.6 update: Fixed options (ponysettings.gd). Options was broken in the last release. Alas, I eventually fixed the bug.

Had to make some ugly code to ensure functionality. If anyone has any ideas of how to implement my ideas with better code, I'm all ears.

To do:
Clean up dead code
bug test more

Sign me up dude =3 I think myself about adding new race but never start the work for it. I keep waiting until there is a good mod support and i know a lot more about programming(which was almost never(but keep hoping xD)) Gonna test u mod when i have another holidays or little more free time. Thanks for you work!

v1.8 update:

Added two more races:
Beastkin Pegasus:
- wings
- high agility, avg other

Beastkin Unicorn:
- custom unicorn horn
- high magic, lower other

Added more feral stuff:

- Increased warnings for feral impreg danger during sex scenes.

- Children of feral parents get uncivilized, pliable, and or ascetic traits semi-randomly.

- Family tree will now list feral parents as feral (previously looked like normal person). The race of the feral parent will always be beastkin (previously random race).

Added two more options:

Current version (21b) doesn't work with ponymod. I'm out of town atm, but I'll update eventually. I'll also re-upload the version of strive ponymod does work with (20a) at some point as well.

Edit: uploaded strive 5.20a to Mega

AlexnChaos5 years ago

Really hate that it does not say when a post was last edited, anyways @d.stu are you still working on this, and if so any idea when/if you will be able to get it running with the latest update? figured I may as well ask here

d.stu5 years ago

No. I started a new job and don't have time for modding.

Besides, the new updates for strive break 60% of my old mod code. If you want to use my mod, DL strive 5.20a (linked above) and use that.

AK|Phantom5 years ago

Since i`m finally have enough free time i can do some playtest and more =3

Also, questions: in my pack i`m adding some mlp related pic, so i can tag them with new races for rpm(random portrait mod) to work with your races, they not too many but i love most of them =3

Oh and aside of playtesting i can upgrade your mod version for work with game latest(and mb with my own mod which i`m gonna soon upload).

And i can try to improve, if you dont mind of course.

d.stu5 years ago

knock yourself out. im pretty much done with it

ive been marking ponies as taurus in random port mod
