Lab Rats 2 v0.14.1 Public Release!

Wanted to mention there's a small group of modders that have tackled a number of bugs and spelling and grammar mistakes, as well as extended content. They just released an updated 0.14.1 earlier today. <a href="https://f95zone.com/threads/lab-rats-2-v0-14-vren.7260/post-1678722" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://f95zone.com/threads/lab-rats-2-v0-14-vren.7260/post-1678722</a>

No problem, that's probably going to be a change that net saves me time with all the test games I start!

Vren

Yeah, the render for that ended up being slightly narrower and higher than other faces, so you're seeing the bottom of the default body neck behind them. That'll take some time to fix up on my rendering side and then actually rerender all of that face type, but it's a problem that is 100% fixable.

Vren

I'll look into that and get that all fixed up.

Vren

I think I know what's causing that issue, I'll get that fixed up.

Vren

Agreed, that whole inventory system needs to be reworked and is very clunky. I'm hoping to deal with it in one fell swoop in v0.15 when I update how serums are designed and displayed.

That looks to be a bug in the Cat Fight crisis. The list.remove() function also makes them unemployed but still come into work everyday. I noticed it when I made a mod that uses it.

What uniform bug are you getting? I've done a couple playthroughs and it appears to be stable in 14.1

VirtaArtieMitchell

your game is so goood :D

Are you ever going to fix the game-breaking bugs with uniforms? That's pretty important to the theme, but it's absolute shit. The more advanced you get a girl, the more your control her attire, the more likely she is to wear stupid generic crap. And after that, even crash the game once you implement a uniform policy. Maybe I'm just crazy, but it seems to me that the features you've already added should work without crashing the game before you go adding new shit. What good is a dozen new outfit options if you're going to lose your whole saved game progress when you try to put them on the chicks? As it stands right now, adding a uniform policy is almost a guarantee that you'll crash your game. That's fucked. Take it out or fix it. S&gt;=40 means no panties, means you have to discard all their underwear sets and give them new ones. Which means the code to set uniforms freaks out... A LOT. Vren, I respect you a lot, and this is, despite the bugs, one of the best games of its type I've ever played, but you gotta fix your bugs, bro. Get your priorities straight. Visually, you've got a real double-chin problem going on, too. I think that came up in 13 when you worked the art. Nobody wants that.

Got this shortly after letting an unhappy employee quit. Not sure, but it looks like the indention is off on that talk_person() call. I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred. While running game code: File "game/script.rpy", line 7341, in script call call talk_person(person_choice) from _call_talk_person File "game/script.rpy", line 7419, in script call call advance_time from _call_advance_time_15 File "game/script.rpy", line 8539, in script call $ crisis.call_action() File "game/crises.rpy", line 1242, in script $ mc.business.remove_employee(the_person) File "game/crises.rpy", line 1242, in &lt;module&gt; $ mc.business.remove_employee(the_person) File "game/script.rpy", line 761, in remove_employee the_person.special_role.remove(employee_role) ValueError: list.remove(x): x not in list &lt;/module&gt;

A Girls arousal does not reset after date sex. Also, it seams you can ask a girl on a date more than once during a week, resulting in multiple dates on Friday, and the girl retains her arousal and (lack of) clothing on the subsequent date (Naked dinner in public restaurants, Jaaay!! ) And as noted above, the love bonus to sluttiness is totally broken at the moment. Perhaps Love and other temporary buffs/debuffs (choice of location, seduction method, family etc) should be separated from core sluttiness and thus not affecting corruption or fucking up the corruption goal.

Funker

Some of my employees get a mysterious buff to core slutiness.. Whenever I have sex with them their stat would go from like 1 golden heart to a full 5, and after sex the buff disappears. And it seems to get higher and higher each time. As of now my head researcher's slutiness goes from 15 to 155 every single time and it's impossible to increase her core slutiness.

The problem of moving a girl to another department and losing all special interactions is new. You can fix it by adding new_person.special_role.append(employee_role) in every "add_employee" method in script.rpy (def add_employee_research, def add_employee_production and so on).

Additional sluttiness bleeds at the rate of 3 per time segment and gets converted into +3 core sluttiness with probability of suggestion/100.

Misc comments: - various references to "convservative outfits" in both dialogue and buttons. "conservative outfits" also appears, which suggests that there's a bug resulting in it appearing twice. - During trial of level 3 (2nd increase) serum, my head researcher said: "I'm Stephanie, head research at ." Bad var? The "Goal Info"/character sheet screen also has the same problem (blank where company name should be) - People wearing blue outfits going on about how they hate the color blue. Maybe their color and outfit preferences should impact their wardrobe choices? - People buzz the intercom and quit on the weekends. it'd be nice if their discontent did not change on the weekends, as you are forced to search the map for that person in order to raise their happiness if you want to avoid this. - I drew a goal of selling some stuff, which required me to move my (one) marketing girl to another department for a while so there would be something left for me to sell. After I was ready to move her back, I found that the "Special Role Actions" not longer existed for her. This is a pretty big problem for a shop small enough to only have on person in a position (e.g. HR or Marketing). If this is a deliberate Feature, perhaps the change-departments dialogue ought to warn the player that they can't easily move the person back. - If I complete a new serum design while working solo on the weekend, the Head Researcher mysteriously appears anyway to handle the testing. - In the "Manage Employee Uniforms" and "Outfit Designer" screens, it would be helpful if it told me what the sluttiness parameters were. Currently I have to back out (which is hard, cuz no back button) and then pretend I want to buy a business policy to get to a screen where I can find out what my uniforms need to cover. - What's with the MC's severe premature ejaculation problem? If a girl shows a bit of hesitation in taking off her clothes chances are he's going to shoot in his pants. Aside from being a buzzkill for the player (I mean, ewww), it's not very realistic. Suggestion: When arousal is over 50% (for either party), increase in arousal is reduced by 75% for "kissing" or for being on the performing side of oral sex. - Another thing that would help a lot is if you gave a "change position" button from the "strip her down" menu; as it is, you have to go another round of kissing before you can take advantage of any newly-revealed orifices, even if the girl is bored with the position or MC is near his limit. - It's counterintuitive that sex takes zero time but paying a compliment takes several hours. I'd expect a seduction to burn the whole turn but a compliment/flirt/chat to take negligible time... - Numerous instances of text overflowing the main box. I took some screencaps, if you want them let me know and I'll send them to you (or post on imageurl or whatever). - It's very puzzling when a girl is mid-coitus and already had two orgasms but still refuses to ditch her bra because she needs to be "warmed up". Maybe once they've actually had penetration start, they should be less picky about this?

v0.14.1 Mac: I like it so far, but I noticed that post-date sex doesn't zero out their arousal afterwards like regular sex interactions do. The arousal carries over into the next interaction.

Please take a longer day

mahdiyar

Thank you for fixing the Name/Company Name fields so they clear when you click on them!

I like the date mechanic! Although you should make exceptions for Jennifer and Lily. It was nice of Lily to take me back to "her place" and give me a tour, but it seemed a bit odd :)

Dubsington

I mentioned this already, but there is something wrong with the faces for Lily and anyone sharing that face type. Namely, you can almost see two chins, as if there was another face hidden behind the actual face.

If I hit "Check Inventory", I never actually see any serums. I almost went out of business before I figured out that I have to go to Main Office -&gt; Mark Serums in order to see that I have some in the sales stockpile. Two suggestions that would make this much nicer: 1) A way for the player to feel like something happened when you work the prioduction line, such as a status bar in the production room that shows how far along each of the various lines is. ("Line 1 (Serum X): 50%"), along with the number produced thus far today. If you've ever worked in an assembly line job you see a lot of that sort of thing. 2) "Check Inventory" should show a table with all the different places a serum might be found -- peronal stash, production stockpile, sales stockpile. I should be able to click on it and immediately see all my serum assets. Edit: I see now, I should "check stock", not "inventory". Maybe rename the button "Personal Inventory" so others don't get confused the way I did? (Or better yet, make it one merged inventory screen where you can see everything and transfer stuff around?)

Haven't played since 11, and so far so good. I am glad to see Jennifer and Lily in the game, but disappointed that you picked your two least attractive models (IMO) for them. Jennifer in particular is terrifying; her figure is great but from the neck up she looks like a drag queen. The Honey Select versions of them were much more attractive.

Dubsington

Something seems odd with sluttiness gains while under serum influence. Steps to reproduce: 1. Give Lily serum with Level 1 Suggest. Sluttiness is 11 2. Flirt. Sluttiness is now 3 higher than before (14) 3. Timetick. Lily is now in a different location, serum effect is 1 round shorter, sluttiness is 11 again. Either I missed a change in how flirting and sluttiness work, or the values are not stored in the character properly.

I have a new mod and have updated it for this release that adds 6 new crisis. Is there a place where I can post the upload link. (I don't want to go sharing your code without your consent.)
