This mod is a set of simple tweaks
Tested for public build 0.5.24c + random_portraits
- if any bugs with later releases, let me know, im not playing atm but i still check the forums and will update
How To Install
- uses the official modding system, just place in your mods directory and enable in main menu.
- if any errors, try loading it last, and see notes below
Compatible with "Magic Mirror" mod v0.3
- and prob some others too, see change notes for mentions of mods i test integration with
- the main limit for this is simply that the mod merging doesnt accept same file from different mods, you always lose one or both. If this bug is fixed, then opens allot more options.
Partial compatibility with AricsExpansion v0.5.22b
First few versions (till v0.5) did target full compatibility with AricsExpansion and its bundled 0.5.22b, and downloads for those below.
I do really love aspects of AricsExpansion, as he adds a lot more than just the breeder functions, however i realised not worth trying to add more to that version atm, instead wait for next stable release maybe. And since i wanted to try out latest public build i just updated my mod to work with that too, and thought it would be great share as a full release here.
The earlier versions are still a great add-on for AricsExpansion, i imagine the later versions would not work as is.
Current Version v1.3:

CHANGELOG
v0.1 - 26/5/19 - initial, works with AricsExpansion 0.5.22b, added next/prev slave, item sorting, slave stats in gear view, slave-stats-export
v0.2 - 26/5/19 - noticed merge bug with random_portraits, so disabled-slave-stats export till fixed
v0.3 - 26/5/19 - still having merge issue, so removed slave_tab.gd entirely for now

v1.0 - 5/6/19 - now compatible with 0.5.24c (not AricsExpansion, use older versions for that), re-enabled slave-stats-export
v1.1 - 6/6/19 - disabled outside.gd (and custom-request-export) to keep Mirror (v0.3) mod compatibility
v1.2 - 6/6/19 - noticed item sort call disabled for main mansion inventory, so used AddTo to re-enable
v1.3 - 7/6/19 - added Mass Heal spell, only affects combat party, to keep compatible with Mirror didn't add it to travel interface (outside.gd)
List of tweaks may change, last edit: 6/6/19
1. Next/Prev slave in inventory screen
- use down/up arrow keys (when in inventory/gear view) to change your selected slave
- how: just a few lines of code in top of files/inventory.gd (easy to make into mod)
2. Next/Prev slave in mansion view
- use page_up and page_down to navigate through slaves whenever in mansion
- how: same as for inventory, except now binding to those buttons in mansion.gd
3. Item Sorting!!!
- this one was Big for me, and so simple to do. Now ALL items/gear, including enchanted, sort properly by category->name
- Might still shuffle inside each name type, but nothing compared to before
- how: improved inventory.gd->sortgear(), which in 0.5.24c was very basic and only called in some cases, so re-enabled the trigger
4. Slave stats in gear/equip view
- early version, added obedience, lust, stress, fear and whether they are lactating in text window when equipping gear (below health and energy text)
- added some colors to highlight when needed, for example when maxed out stress or lactating
- how: just a few extra lines in inventory.md->slavegear(), avoided overwriting by using the <AddTo X> syntax
- easy enough to expand if desired, just pick anything from globals.gd->person object/class
5. Slave stats export
- exports all useful kinds of info for ALL slaves (even those away from mansion). Massive help to knowing which custom orders you can fill
- current format is to export as csv to your clipboard. This works GREAT with google sheets as you can show/hide and sort columns easily
- to export/copy, click your profile pic and use the new button right above "spell book"
- how: a new function and button in mansion.gd. Very easy to modify and extend if desired, just look at `person` class for all posible column values
6. 'Mass Sedate' and 'Mass Heal' spells
- Spell variations that act exactly the same, except affecting ALL viable slaves, using the exact same mana cost per slave affected as the single spell
- Depending on version, you may need to unlock them at mage guild
- To cast, have at least enough mana to affect one slave, then pick ANY slave to cast on (doesn't even matter if that slave would be affected)
- All mass spells check every slave, including those away from mansion, and affect only those needing it, and will stop if you run out of mana.
- 'Mass Sedate' will cast 'Sedate' on all stressed slaves, until none left unaffected or no more mana.
- 'Mass Heal' will cast 'Heal' on everyone not already full health in your combat party, until none left unaffected or no more mana. Also gives the same loyalty boost to any <20 loyalty slaves that regular heal does.
- Clear feedback given as to who was and wasnt affected.
- how: <AddTo> wasnt working, maybe due to commented lines inside `var spelllist`, so overrode that entire var/array/dict to add new spell entries, mirroring basic spells, but with an iterator that targets intelligently and stops if out of mana
- These might be tweaked, for example 'Mass Sedation' checks stress level (no fear check) for ALL slaves, avoids any already with 'sedated' tag, and any with stress below a certain point. Idea of maybe making 'mild' and 'extreme' version of this to target yellow (>32) and red (>65) stress levels specifically. Use it for a while, then let me know if you want it rebalanced like that.
- For 'Mass Heal' i didnt add it to travel list of spells (_on_details_pressed() in outside.gd) since if i affected that file the merge bug would break compatibility with Mirror mod.
- other mass spells might be 'mass fear', with fear checks on all prisoners or rebellious slaves. Started it, still tossing up best implementation for which slaves to target, ie just those in prison with less < max fear (actual fear changes are affected by courage, and capped by wit). Anyone got a good idea or real desire for this spell, hit me up.
- Also, fun idea - ive very little experience modifying ui (kinda limited with editing just .gd) but if is possible to have a "repeat spell" button right beside "close" after casting, that would make mutations way more fun i think, especially if you just saving mana up for a few days.
- And most importantly, if anyone can help make <AddTo> work here (when adding to `var spelllist`), that would be awesome
7. `Nickname + Name` instead of just `Nickname`
- allows generic nicknames as should always add firstname where previously was just nickname
- how: overrided name_short(), with 0.5.24c this became possible without overriding entire person class
8. Export all custom-requests to clipboard (disabled, code in download though)
- early version of how to even better handle custom requests in later game, when so many slaves
- see my notes at bottom about how this might be better implemented, for now just left disabled to keep easier mod compatibility with Mirror mod
- how: added iterator and function to convert them to object inside outside.gd
9. Clearer bed use
- the top of slave list in mansion now shows "[total] ([communal]/[personal]/[masterbed]/[jail])" numbers, for example: "13 (6/2/1/4)"
- this plus colors plus the totals still shown in mansion summary mean that you can see Exactly how many beds are actually in use at any time, including those slaves not in the list but who still count
- how: use AddTo on `rebuild_slave_list()` in Mansion.gd, adding more detail and using bbcode for colors
Other tweaks not included in mod (but can be added with some help):
Of the many other tweaks i made or am playing with, if any of interest then please say why, that will give reason to polish them up. Some of these are:
Mansion view to accept and complete custom request, for a fee
- current versions might have my early version of this, either in outside.gd or in renamed file for history. That version just exports all quests by copying as json to clipboard
- works, but left pretty basic, realised it was less fun if everything on spreadsheet, love having slave list in copy+paste spreadsheet but still found it fun having to travel round a bunch
- maybe there is nice middle ground, like a high level mansion upgrade that lets you open custom requests from all locations and accept and fulfill them while still inside mansion, with same cost as portal there
More Mass Spells
- also see comments for mass sedation spell, mass fear is best bet, id just need a better idea the bounds of which slaves to affect
Refresh slavelist after item use
- untested since upgraded to 0.5.24c
- since i discovered the magic of pots of milk (totally OP if you stack your roster a little) ive noticed that it doesnt refresh the slave list, so stress icons dont change.
- had a quick look, might be something upstream to affect, or call a global from there, prob do it soon and play around so merges well. Let me know if its annoying you too and itll get done quicker.
Im also open to any other ideas, though might need help with the UI and a fix for that <AddTo> bug to do certain types changes/tweaks
