Hucow Simulator Demo [VaM]

[Housekeeping Preamble]
Sorry for the radio silence the past month. I try to make a point not to post "empty promise updates" of just, saying content is on the way, or delayed, or xyz: that's just a waste of a notification and everyone's time. However, on the rare case that circumstance conspires to nuke X projects in a row (as it has), it'll look like I've died and stopped posting. Dear patron, please know this will never be the case because I will never die. I will either always be working on, or delivering thicc booty or thicc something content, until the heat death of the universe and beyond

Thank you for your patience

...

I've finally combined all of the miscellaneous features I've been hashing out and got them cooperating under one roof, if only as just a brief demo proof of concept. This really is a shadow of what my Full Vision for this project will be.. but I figure there's enough here to have fun messing around with at this current state.

Please follow the
installation instructions outlined here before diving in for the first time- This scene has a feature that will not work unless launched with all plugins installed and given permission to run ahead of time*.

Take care of your very own HuCow! Keep your hucow happy by remembering your milking duties, and buying new clothes! 

Remember, milking your HuCow will stimulate breast growth, make sure to give *both* breasts the same amount of love!

You can feed your HuCow, just be careful not to go overboard.. it might affect her figure!

...

Please let me know via email or Discord if there's any bugs, or if you have any feedback or ideas!


---- V 0.0.1 (this version) ----

- Milking, lactation mechanic

- Showcase basic breast expansion progression

- Showcase basic weight gain progression

- Date, time, currency, item inventory system

- Clothes store

(Currently, the "Feed" / "Work" options are particularly barebones, just for the sake of demonstrating the functionality)

Sadly, previously teased feature of drinking different beverages with different effects had to be temporarily removed as part of the rewrite. It'll return in the next version when I add that back, and more items


---- Features WIP ----

- Finish advanced lactation, milking, WG mechanics 

- Settings menu (Force Symmetry, optional performance options, etc)

- Item store

- Items, food, drinks with various effects

- Item related 'minigames' 

- Save, load feature (individual progress can be kept and transferred loaded between different versions as updates add features)

- Affect mechanic (current mood, relationship strength, etc) 

- Dialogue mechanic, dialogue lines

- Relationship progression mechanic

- Misc scripted events

- Misc polish on menus, feature navigation

- Morph Optimization

- Option to load alternate/custom characters (without breaking things)

- Option to load and buy custom outfits


---- Known Bugs ----

- Saving the scene outside of the Primary Menu will desync the time indicator, and may softlock you in a bugged gamestate

- Sometimes you'll have an extra opportunity to milk before going to sleep. This won't break anything, but it is unintentional 

- Double-click any button at your own risk; nothing extra should happen, but it will probably break something

- The horns may misbehave on transitioning to and from Store; optimizing this is WIP

- The time indicator may desync and display the wrong time, this corrects itself at the end of the day

- Colliders at the largest size of WG are unoptimized, and may produce some physics jitter, and affect performance on less powerful machines

- The menu animation of fading in and out is unoptimized, and may produce lag on less powerful machines

Big kudos to Acidbubbles' Scripter plugin. While tedious to rewrite *all* of the logic from scratch in code; migrating from Literally 20 Instances of Actiongrouper/VUML has dramatically improved performance/FPS, and is a great foundation to continue to add features from.


*for any of you curious, the plugin in question is
MacGrubers EventSceneLoad, which I'm only utilizing for this version as a quick fix for a bug I caught late, and intend to fix next time I'm under the hood

Comments

Thanks to some of the insane plugins that Stopper has been recently authoring, this is a very real possibility, we'll see

I love it, but you HAVE to add futa to this. 100/10

Verified that I wasn't missing any dependencies. I redownloaded and installed a new .var and depend.txt and put them in my addonpackages folder and it didn't work again. I tried copying the contents of the specified folder over to the addonpackages folder and it still had the errors. I remember having other errors pop up as I played but I assumed it was because of the WIP status. Any other advise you could send my way would be appreciated.

It also may be that you don't have the dependencies (that the clothing presets are supposed to load) installed, make sure you Scan Hub for missing dependencies, download them, and relaunch if not already done so

Bury She

Very strange. VaM should unpack the all the custom .vaps from \Custom\Atom\Person\Clothing\ to the right place on first try, it doesnt rely on or interact with any dependencies or plugins in any way so its one of the few things that should work out of the box even if installed incorrectly I'd first try to delete the existing .var you downloaded, and then replace it into the correct folder again If that doesn't work and only the presets are misbehaving, I'd unzip the .var file, drag and drop the contents of \Custom\Atom\Person\Clothing into your directory manually

It isnt loading the outfits for me. !> Could not load json Custom/Atom/Person/Clothing/Preset_Basic1.vap !> Could not load json Custom/Atom/Person/Clothing/Preset_Basic2.vap !> Could not load json Custom/Atom/Person/Clothing/Preset_Basic3.vap !> Could not load json Custom/Atom/Person/Clothing/Preset_Basic4.vap !> Could not load json Custom/Atom/Person/Clothing/Preset_Basic5.vap

Milk will only squirt out when tugging away from the body; I specifically set it up so that the most efficient tug is directly along the axis of the breast, and to decay in strength as you deviate from that to other axis, to where pushing, pulling straight up, etc *should* do nothing/very little If you're pulling away from the body in Play mode, and still not getting any indication of successful milking (change in br size, stream strength) let me know, it could be a bug

Bury She

is ther every good visual indication that I'm milking? Im using mouse & key right now but when I'm *tuggin on them milkers* it doesnt look like anythings changing. no bigger milk streams or anything obvious

It may be that the hub had a hiccup around me using an older version, and you having a newer one currently installed, I'll make a note to replace that with the latest one for next release, sorry for the hassle!

Bury She

Sorry for the laundry list of comments haha, but in my tinkering I think I figured it out. I had fluideditor version 7 but it seemed to be corrupted, downloading version 7 from the hub and replacing the .var I had seems to have resolved the issue!

Sam

After some tinkering I noticed that the reference to the fluid editor on rMilk and lMilk was throwing an error. After manually updating to point to the correct object I started getting a different error: !> Scripter: Exception in rVolumeTrigger callback: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

Sam

Thanks for getting back to me! I've scanned hub for missing vars a few times and the issue still persists. I also tried downloading Fluids 101 directly from hub and it still hasn't resolved the issue.

Sam

It doesn't look like you have the plugin Hazmhox Fluids 101 installed correctly Try and run through the steps outlined in the linked post to Scan Hub for Missing Packages, if that doesn't work: let me know because it means I've packaged something wrong and need to fix it. Make sure to scan the hub, download everything, and then close the scene. When you relaunch, they should all load in properly the 'rMilk' and 'lMilk' atoms are hidden, to view them you need to select "Show Hidden" within the Select menu, while in edit mode

Hello! I'm getting this error when trying to milk HuCow: !> Scripter: Exception in rVolumeTrigger callback: Could not find an storable named 'plugin#0_FluidEditorFemalePlugin.FluidEditorFemale' in atom 'rMilk' There doesn't seem to be a "milk" atom I'm also getting the following errors: !> Plugin file hazmhox.fluids101.7:/Custom/Scripts/Fluids101/fluid_female_editor.cs does not exist !> Error during attempt to load assetbundle hazmhox.fluids101.7:/Custom/Assets/hazmhox/particles/fluids101/fluids_101.assetbundle. Not valid !> Error during attempt to load assetbundle hazmhox.fluids101.7:/Custom/Assets/hazmhox/particles/fluids101/fluids_101.assetbundle. Not valid !> Scripter: Exception in milkMode callback: Could not find an storable named 'plugin#0_FluidEditorFemalePlugin.FluidEditorFemale' in atom 'rMilk

Sam

Yes, a couple plugins and a custom morph. Going forward a handful of the plugins will be shaved off as I reimplement things the right way with the Scripter plugin

Bury She

any new dependencies if we have played with your previous scenes?
