Lab Rats Modding Policy
Added 2020-03-20 09:45:00 +0000 UTCI've talked about the modding policy for Lab Rats (both 1 and 2) before, but I noticed a few comments about it and figured I'd bring it up again for anyone who is new. My general attitude towards mods is pretty straight forward: I love them! This community is pretty amazing about supporting me in doing what I do, so in return I make sure everything I do is available to the community with as few limitations as is reasonable. That's why I make Lab Rats free (minus the bug testing release, but that's only a week and is mostly to limit the game to people who understand that it is likely to be a buggy mess). There are only three (and a half) restrictions I have for making use of the code or assets in Lab Rats 1 or 2:
1) Anything you make should be made available for free. I'm making this content available to you to make cool things, interesting, and fun things, and I want to see you pay it forward. This is also to protect my work from blatant plagiarism and reselling if I ever need to.
2) Appropriate credit for the assets/code must be provided. If you're tinkering around with Lab Rats content all you have to do is keep the Patreon link on the main page intact. If you're using the assets/code in some other way I ask you to provide a similar link to this Patreon somewhere prominent, like on your main menu page.
3) No complete rehosting of the game. If you're making modded content people should be downloading the base game from here and adding in your content. This ensures people are still passing through this Patreon and seeing/supporting the main project.
and a half) If you're making cool stuff, I want to see it! This isn't an actual rule, but it's something I really appreciate! If you're making something neat and sharing it with other people, send me a message and let me know, or drop a comment in one of my posts (I read through all of the comments even if I don't have the time to respond!). Knowing that people are making stuff with the stuff I make inspires me to make more. It also gives me a reason to keep it all a little more organised and well commented!
While I'm on the topic, I also want to note that this invitation to use the LR1 and LR2 assets extends beyond just modded content! You're welcome to strip off whatever you want and use it to make your own game/whatever, as long as you follow the rules above!
I'm able to share what I create so freely because you, my Patreon community, have given me such consistent, generous, and open support. So thank you to all of you, I'm going to get back to work!
Comments
For those not in the know, I'm working with the owner of the HHS+ Development forum to get us a Forum to save and discuss mods (since he supports several other games the same way).

2020-04-03 22:59:47 +0000 UTCI suppose I should mention that a couple of us have a Git repository for mods that can be found here: https://gitgud.io/lab-rats-2-mods/lr2mods/-/tree/develop Also got a fairly lax Discord server for discussing Lab Rats 2 mod related things: https://discord.gg/RGpUAUp
2020-03-27 07:23:22 +0000 UTCI've been modding your game for a couple years (mostly cheats and crisis add ons) it would be great if you had a discord or subreddit to share these on.

2020-03-26 08:18:58 +0000 UTCI've just read this post and want to follow your point 3½ by mentioning that I've put a mod together that adds some pregnancy elements to the game! Anyone can check it out at: Pregnancy Mod for Lab Rats 2 www.f95zone.to/threads/lab-rats-2-pregnancy-mod.46903/ I made sure to give you credit and include links to your Patreon, however if there's anything you'd like me to change regarding your rules or otherwise just say the word. Spending some time diving into the development of 'something' makes me appreciate the real dev work you do even more. So thanks, especially for making your games so very mod-friendly!
2020-03-24 23:54:21 +0000 UTCThe most likely source is the size of the rollback queue. If you open up game/script.rpy and change line 37 from 64 to something smaller like 32 or 16 you should have fewer issues. If you don't mind losing rollback entirely you could instead change line 36 from True to False.

2020-03-24 08:46:45 +0000 UTC1. Is pregnancy implemented or WIP? 2. This error happens quite a lot I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

2020-03-23 22:40:59 +0000 UTCI removed a girl as the spokesman/model and I can't seem to offer the role to anyone now. Is it lock out from giving to another person?

2020-03-23 06:57:40 +0000 UTCOK, there are two sluttiness scores, one is yellow, which is base sluttiness. The other is red and is temporary sluttiness. If you make a girl cum or do certain other things (catching sis masturbating, walking in on mom naked, etc), they get temporary sluttiness. If they have a suggestion value, that is the percentage chance of a given point of temporary sluttiness becoming core sluttiness. So the trick to the game is doing things that boost temporary sluttiness, then give them a suggestion potion to turn that into permanent. Soon all your workers, family, and friends will have 80 base sluttiness and not understand why you would wear clothing for any other reason than to support and display their boobs and frame their pussy. Oh, and as for giving potions before or after boosting temporary sluttiness, it doesn't matter in my experience. Also I forgot that flirting can give a gal up to 20 temporary sluttiness.

2020-03-21 17:16:31 +0000 UTCOk maybe im stupid af but can someone explain the Sluttiness/Crupption system for me? The tutorial didnt make it for me :/ I dont get it at all... 1. Do i give Potions of suggestion BEFORE or AFTER i talk to them to get the red parts of their hearts? 2. How does the red-heart-part even work? I mean how to i make it to switch to yellow for sure or is it random? Sometimes it switches and other times it didnt... also even if i fill the whole heart, it switches only a part of it. Is there some kind of in-depth guide or something about how this works really works? Thx in advance! Ah and is there some kind place to ask questions like this or do i just use the comments like now? :) Regards
2020-03-21 13:42:50 +0000 UTCHey vren I'm still getting huge slowdown issues whenever i have too many image changes any hotfixes offhand?

2020-03-20 23:07:20 +0000 UTCit'd be great if we can customize the in-game models to our liking though...

2020-03-20 21:08:55 +0000 UTCDear Vren, thanks for keeping your game as a real game, even though it's much easier to make a VN ^^

2020-03-20 18:09:08 +0000 UTCNot sure if you know a game called Wife trainer, but it's up on a site for mind control games. They did what your asking about. They just created a thread on that site for all the different mods for their Ren'Py release of wife trainer. Should be pretty easy to setup. (Not sure how Vren feels about sharing links outside his work, or how Patreon will flip out about links to that site so I won't post anything here. But you can search for the game I mentioned and find it pretty easily.).

2020-03-20 15:40:45 +0000 UTCI'm sorry I keep mis-communicating. What I would like for LR2, is a site where we can host mods, and comment on them. Something like this: https://www.henthighschool.com/index.php In fact, they would probably be willing to host LR2 (for free) if you or I asked about it. I just want a place I can put my mods so other folks can see them, including you. One of the cool things with most of the games HHS hosts is that the maker can even incorporate mods into the main game.

2020-03-20 15:30:14 +0000 UTCI do have a question for you Vren not so much about modding, but about changing some of the models looks. I really liked the way the girls looked in LR1, their translation to LR2 I don't enjoy as much, if someone was able to design models that looked closer to their LR1 version is that something that you would consider using? Or do you plan on adjusting the models later on once you get the majority of things in the game finished?
