What's new

Here's an overview of the new stuff, check the next paragraphs for insights and instructions on some of them.

The new behaviours and the girl-UI options are accessible from the wanderer mode.

behaviours

• mix@floor behaviour - part 3
  - expands the behaviour with new actions (cunnilingus, sixty-nine cunnilingus, titjob)
  - everything dynamically calculated and not preset
  - you can manually grab her head to drive her behaviour
• the girl now can recognize a seat and reach it
  - she recognizes even quite irregular surfaces or not perfectly horizontal
• new omni-behaviour: mix@seat
  - girl now searches for a seat and sits there
  - ordinary and sex actions selectable from menu
  - she behaves in regard to seat's shape, backrest and your position (standing in front of her, seated near her...)
  - she could hug you, kiss you, masturbate herself, do an handjob, do a blowjob, read a book or just seat there idling
  - you can force her reaction by position using a menu option
• new actions in idle
  - she gives OK with hands
  - she yawns
  - she gives high five and awaits for you to slap her hand

new features

• now in wanderer it's possible to set the behaviours min and max duration in auto and semiauto mode (3rd girl-ui level)
• now in wanderer it's possible to set mix's actions min and max duration during the related behaviours (3rd girl-ui level)
• now it's possible to use custom probability and waiting time for speeches (general ui). You have to flag the "Edit speeching parameters" option to have the plugin to use your custom values
• new options "editSpeechingProperties", "editSpeechPropability", "editSpeechWaitingMin" and "editSpeechWaitingMax" in config file to alter the above settings before start

misc

• tweaked animations, now plugin optimizes most of the hands transitions automatically (1.15 idle hands movements have been optimized with this, all of the 1.16 ones use it)
• high five uses a new collision method that improves precision, also past slapping/spanking actions should be better after it
• now the walking is less tight and avoid furnitures's edges while optimizing the path (issue after last patch's walk optimization system)
• differentiated colors for normal options and mix@ behavours flags for clarity
• moving toward the furniture has faster movements in mix@seat respect older behaviours doing the same (this could affect positively latest behaviours, not tested yet)

fixes

• major issue: when starting the engine with boy standing, penis orientation and position could be very off during mix@floor and doggy@support
• mix@floor selector options weren't reset when changing behaviours
• fixed issues with collisions on spanking for doggy @support, now it works better
• guy control speed increased too much after mix@floor too
• some issues on decision algorithm because of the complexities of last behaviours, now fixed
• better approach at furniture used for latest behaviours - sometime girl tried to avoid them instead coming near
• girl walking after latest behaviours gave problem to decision algorithm (hopefully fixed now)
• now during doggy@support and mix@floor girl uses tongue when bringing her hand to mouth, this didn't work well before

known bugs

• during mix@seat petting if she tries to hold your hand and you are not possessing the boy the hand will start to go crazy in every direction
• sometimes the walking seems to go back and forth at beginning and this causes twsting, I'm investigating on it
• mix@floor standard cunnilingus sometimes doesn't trigger well if the girl deviates to the side instead than going straight. You can grab head and place it over your head high enough to trigger it manually in case.

As always, if you notice something that is not working fine please let me know and I will try to fix it asap. This release really pushed a lot and brought up a lot of complex stuff, perhaps too much. The engine changed a lot and kept on been modified these last days, so I expect a lot of issues  I could have not noticed. Thanks in advance!

Where's my seat?

That's for real guys, the girl now knows how a chair is shaped. And by a seta I mean everything that can sustain the girl's butt :D .
Obviously it has some constraints: it can't be too high and it can't be too narrow, so for example furniture like OldStyleChair or DecoDowntimeChair are not an option at the moment.
On the other hand It can have the seat slightly sloping and it can more spacious than a single seat.
With these preconditions there are a lot of thing that can be considerer a chair, even the more unexpected (see the video :P ).

New horizons unveil for the girl to use the environment. 

Mix@Seat

Guys this was tough. A lot of variability for the most complex beahviour so far.

She moves feet a lot, she could raise them, cross them, depending on what she's doing.
She adapts to the seat, if there's space for you she will invite you respecting the space on the seat, if there's a backrest she will lean against it in case taking advantage of it as it should be.

She could masturbates with dildo and you can steal it and use it on her. While on it she basically can do all the stuff she also does during the masturbate@leaning againts the wall.
So if you drop the dildo near enough she will try to capture it. Otherwise you can use it on her tits or in her vagina, she will react differently with the whole body.
You can also try to put it on her mouth, and she will suck it.
If she is not using the dildo she masturbate with her hand, and if you're using the dildo on the pussy she will get her hand off to give you space.

Instead, if you go in front of her and come near with you cock she will suck you off while seated. While doing this you can change you position, she will try to follow.

She can do also mundane actions while seating. For now she is able to spawn a book and read it, or just idle on the seat, lean against the backrest and relax. Actually the book one is the only one comprised in the "Ordinary" action set, but it will be expanded next release.

If she understands that there's a seat free near her she will invite you to seat. If you do so she will interact with you while seated (lean, kiss and handjob so far).
During these special actions you can move and also change your hips speed using the "v" key as during doggy style, so you can adjust your position with more ease using faster movements in case.
You can also lock the hips with "l" key, so that they don't follow for example your head while your seated. I used this feature in the video. Please note that if you lock the hip while you seat then it will follow your inclination to ease the girl on kissing and do the handjob.

As I already stated, You can choose the action set you prefer via the girl ui, as for the other mix behaviours. Some of them (blowjob, petting handjob) work only if you are in a specific position. If you want blowjob and handob have priority over other actions every time you are in such positions  you can use the option in the girl ui ("Force by position"). The action you want to trigger by position has to be flagged though.

I'm surely forgetting something but by now there are so many features in these behaviours that I can't remember all the features inherited by past ones. For examaple audio is often linked to intensity (like the depth of the penetration), and sentences are crafted to be never out of context. expressions and morphs are also always linked with criterion.

Please note that there's no head grabbing still in this beahviour, so do't try to force her since she will not react well lol.

Also, remember that now you can choose the actions' min and max duration using the 3rd girl ui level.

I think this is, along mix@floor, the most complex behaviour created so far for the engine and I am very proud of it.
This also made me think a lot. Behaviours are becoming a nightmare and in my head there's already nasty ideas about the future course of this. All this experience I'm doing probably can be used in a more flexible way. I'm starting to ask me if all this complexity makes sense in a rigid structure like this one. This thing doesn't want to stop its evolution :D .

Anyway, this can improved a lot still, so expect a second part next month with amazing upgrades. It definitively deserves it.

Back to the floor - part 3

Here we are at credit roll for mix@floor. It was really an incredible challenge and gave a lot of ideas for the future.

So now we have cunnilingus, sixty-nine cunnilingus and titjob.
They are selectable in girl ui but also triggered using the girl head (just imagine where it should be and place it there).

During the two cunnilngus behaviours the girl will adapt her stance to your head (till a certain height), like shown in the video.

I fixed straight to 69 timings and reverse, now every transition should use a good speed depending on the stance.

Remember that now you can choose the actions' min and max duration using the 3rd girl ui level.

I feel mix@floor is basically complete. A lot of variations and good stability for now. Probably it would need some more tweaks since it's still not perfect (legs movements in particular) but for now I would pass beyond with the tremendous amount of knowledge it gave to me and use it for something else.

How to use it

Regolo Engine 1.16 has been built and tested on VaM 1.20.1.5.

• download your version
• put the zip file in the VaM folder and extract it there:
  - dll and config file will be placed under <VaM>/Custom/Scripts/RegoloVR
  - room files will be placed under <VaM>/Saves/scene/RegoloVR
  - Audio and Dance folders will be placed under <VaM>/Custom/Sounds/RegoloVR
• [optional] put the songs files you want the girl to dance in the  <VaM>/Saves/scene/RegoloVR/Dance folder
• [optional] edit the proper config file (RegoloEngine_E.json for Enchanter or  RegoloEngine_I.json  for Illusionist )
• load the proper room (RegoloEngineRoom_1.16_E for Enchanter or RegoloEngineRoom_1.16_I for Illusionist)
• [optional] load a different room in case:
  - load the skeleton room instead if you plan a merge load with another scene
  - load the playground room instead if you plan to test the new smart walking behaviour
  - load the apartment room if you want to test smart walking again or behaviours that use perception system
• load the plugin on the girl (the dll file)
• [optional] choose an anima or obsession to use the old engine, select "Wanderer anima" instead to use the new one (a new dynamic UI will appear on the gilr's head)
• [optional]  change the UI options as desired
• possess the boy or align with him

Detailed instructions about dance folder and dance UI can be found in the 1.8 release post.

It's highly recommended to disable soft body physics to enhance the experience and avoid undesirable effects. In fact the many random frictions caused by most of the behaviours generated by the plugin cause unpredictable soft-physics reactions.

Change physics update cap to 1 if you experience trembling issues.

Also an important recommendation: safest way to start over the plugin execution is to clear it, reset girl's pose manually (from the person -> control panel) and then reload it. The plugin tries to automatically reset the pose at every start but it's not always perfect.

Please remember the furniture list known by the girl, below. You can delete and add duplicates but there always must be one and only one couch with the guy over it. Also, don't create steeplechases and create a regular environment as the standard room provided, please.

"AptSofa" (mandatory and just one) beside the sofa there should be at least one of the following known furniture (PlayerNavigationPanel for example, and they can be also more than one for type)

"DreamHomeWebTV"
"DSBR_Bench"
"AptPatioChair"
"AptBookShelf"
"DSBR_Bed"
"AptChair"
"AptCoffeeTable"
"AptSmartTV"
"AptSmartWebTV"
"AptTVStand"
"PlayerNavigationPanel"

Limitations and caveat

- Consider always that anima and obsessions are mutually exclusive. Every time you choose one of them you lose the previous settings. You can check your current choice looking at the yellow info box at the lower left corner of the UI.

- The Enchanter room tries to load 500+ audio files at the beginning, but it doesn't need to do that again if you just reset the plugin.  The songs for the dancing load at the beginning too (but can changed and reloaded in real time via UI).

- Being it totally procedural, there can be better and worse runs.

- Some behaviours have really a large spectrum of possibilities, so some unlucky variations are unavoidable.

In the end

I'm really happy we're done with this release, it totally drained me :D .
But working at it I kinda made an idea about where all of this is going to go. In this regard I will aim at refining the engine to make it able to produce new and exciting slices of life, so that I will be found ready when it will demand the next evolution leap.

Meanwhile I hope the new girl's capabilities are entertaining you, I love to see her shaping some kind of holistic sphere release after release.

1.17 has already a plan though, already writing something about it, it will be available in December.

See you in a few weeks!
