Hotfix for Windhelm Events

The last update for the Windhelm Events introduced NPC only support, but broke the regular Prison Event. CK apparently added some conditions by itself. No Idea how that happened and I´m beginning to question my sanity, but this fix should restore functionality.

Just a slight Delay

Sorry for the Delay with the Riften Events. But due to a slight misappropriation of a pallet Truck at work, I ended up at at hospital over the weekend. 

While my pride is the only Thing that suffered lasting damage, this kinda threw me behind schedule.

I´ll pull some all-nighters to get it done this week, promised.

Almost finished

The Animations are done and the Scene is set. As you can see, i went for a cozy evening for the Guards as the Setting for the Event(s). All that's left is coming up with some cheesy Dialogue and writing the actual hook into PA, but that's the easy part.

The entire Thing will most likely be ready by this weekend.

Added NPC support for Windhelm Events

I´m still fighting with the transition animations for the Guillotines in Riften, So i was looking for a bit of a distraction and went back to Windhelm.

While the current version is perfectly capable of Handling NPC-only executions, you´d have to know a set of console commands to make that happen. And since I find myself coming back to use those commands, I thought just putting this functionality into a button would make it a lot more accessible to others (and simpler for me).

Si...

Sexy time with Guillotines

Some of you might be aware that PsycheHHH has a little SL animation pack available on LL. Which includes animations that fit into the wayrest Guillotine.

Of course, just being a SL-animation, the Device in that anim is just a temporary object and wont do any actual chopping. Which is quite a shame. 

So I did the sensible thing and tried to work these animations into the Actual furniture, which CAN do headchopping. Psyche kindly gave me permissions to use his existing work, wh...

What has happened over the last weeks?

A few things actually.

The most notable one was the futile attemt to find a solution to the CTD issue when using Decapitations together with face overlays. Mark fairchaild was a big help on this and claims to have found a workaround which works for Special Edition (not confirmed by me yet), but For Oldrim, this issue seems to be impossible to overcome. we tried papyrus based workarounds and even recompiling the Nioverride.dll, but to no avail. 

Due to this, i will limit the a...

No payments this month.

As the title says, I´m once more suspending payments. This means you will NOT be charged at the end of this month.

Reason for this is the obvious lack of new content. I´m currently facing the problem that i just cant get a clear image on what exactly i want to do with the Riften events. How to make variations based on followers presence, survivable outcomes, etc...

And because I would like this entire thing to stay a fun hobby, rather than becoming a job i have to force myself t...

Unrelated, but funny nonetheless

A few months back, I was working on a private commission for someone who wanted a a simple Sexlab matchmaker without SL-aroused dependency. He was rather pleased with the end result and now gave his ok to make it public.

I know it has nothing to do with the usual stuff most of you subscribed for, but before i can come up with a Front image to upload this thing on LL, you have exclusive access to it. consider it a bonus.

But what is it?

Pretty simple. while active,...

Fun in Riften

Personally, I would have voted for the small scale events to get some quick coverage for all prisons, but it seems you want to see something a bit more elaborate, so here we go.

For the Riften Events, I decided to NOT use the original design from Bad ends. I will instead focus the attention on the large open space in front of the Guards Barracks and have the scenes play there. By doing so, i can avoid making navmesh changes, which will prevent compatibility issues which pretty much any ...

Finished and fully integrated Windhelm Events

As promised, here it is. The Nonlethal outcome of the "Early Rlease" Event is now fully accessible. 

This version also includes changes to the Dialogues, which unfortunately makes Executaballs current voice pack obsolete.

Note on installing: Upgrading from V0.2 is not possible. You need to completely uninstall it before installing V0.3 . You´ll also need a clean save. Don´t forget to run FNIS, either.

Once more, this requires a slightly upgraded version For the Parent...

something new! (finally)

Fist of all, sorry for the radio silence over the last few days. I got a bit over-invested with the "survivable" outcome for the "Windhelm - early Release" Event.

It took way too long, but it works reliably now and I think its a neat and unique alternative to just being dumped at the city Gates.

I still need to make a few adjustments to the percentages which determine which outcome is chosen, But it should be available to the Beta tester tiers within the next day.

2 new Events for Prison alternative done

So, i´ve been playing around with BaBoDialogue the other day and thought that multiple choices and outcomes for events are actually a cool Idea, so I wanted to have that too. So i tried doing something of that sort. After all,  I want this mod to be something that actually feels like a part of the game, rather than just a disconnected Dolcett-Scene.

While nowhere near finished, The Version I present to you today implements 2 new Events for Prison alternative. And yes, the executio...

Outdoor Scene Finished

While its not yet available as a Prison alternative event, the outdoor Hanging scene is finished and can be started via console command. If I cant get the full event done this month, you´ll at least receive this.

I designed it to work with 1-2 Actors, Player involvement is optional. Having two NPC´s get handled was something i´d always wanted to see in the original bad ends, but unfortunately, the entire thing was to poorly made to make meaningful additions or changes. 

Wh...

Quick Status Update

Fist of, the last Upload (the Finished Toy in Winterhold) is scheduled to go public in two days, which means that all of you can get it then.

As for new content, I´m again in the middle of a very tight exam phase, so I´m not sure whether or not i´ll be able to finish the Entire execution Event for Winterhold this month.I´ll try to somehow squeeze it in, but I cant promise it.

What i can promise however, starting next month I´ll have a long period of free time and can put a lo...

Bad Ends Revived, Part 1: Windhelm

With The Centerpiece of the planned execution Event for Windhelm Finished, I´Decided to Release it early for you to play with.

This File only contains the Fully functional Gallows as Depicted here, and therefore has no dependency to Prison Alternative.

About Its Functions:

Functions Similar to the Original Gallows outside of Whiterun. But includes a few tweaks to the Animations and the inner workings of the physic-rope. This should make the scene a bit smoother t...

Bad ends Revived, Roadmap, and other opportunities

Those of you which follow the the Prison Alternative support thread will already have seen the little preview, but for everyone else, let me bring you up to speed.

Originally, i planned on a universal system for executions, similar to the one used in the original bad ends mod. But after some deliberation, i decided to implement individual solutions for the different holds. This is done for two reasons. First one being that people like variety (duh). And the second one being t...

An unsurprising outcome

To no ones surprise, following the obvious path and continuing with the creation of  events was the most voted option. So i´ll be doing that for the foreseeable future.

Since there are a few finishing touches i need to add to the Base mod (and the personal need for a few days away from modding), i will start with this somewhere next week.

As always, thanks for your patience and your support. I´m really exited to see where this entire thing will be going.

New Event And Public Release tomorrow

After Nymra did a short test on the thing, it became clear that there should be at least one actual daily Event. So i made one. 

Since its supposed to be only a minor daily/punishing event, its nothing lethal, but it will leave some marks on the player nonetheless (yeah, its whipping.)

I also reworked the health system again to make it feel more natural. the HP bar will now be a good indicator on how many hits you can take before being recaptured.

Also fixed a potential...

NPC Detention System and another new Event

Up until now, your follower was just released when you managed to Escape, which kinda felt wrong to me. Therefore, I added a small parallel prison system for NPC´s exclusively. (completely optional and can be toggled of)

It adds a small holding cage to every Jail. If you manage to escape and leave your follower behind, he will be put in here and require a Bailout. The amount of money required is equivalent to the players bounty when he was originally jailed.

I also added a possib...

Prison Alternative is nearing release

After some more Bug fixing and a rework of the Blackfades to allow them to work for enb users, I Implemented the First Non-Default Event which will be included with the Base version of the Framework (Preview above). I´m currently trying to cram as many  API functionalities as possible in there to maximize usability and especially inter-compatibility with other mods. 

Public release will hopefully be this weekend.

Prison Alternative - Beta Version Release

I probably spent way to much effort on something no one but me is gonna use, but the Plugin System is working properly, as well as the Escape and punishment systems.

This base version contains the Default Events and same very basic example plugins to proof that the system works.

If you want to try It out, this is how it works:

-(optional) check MCM settings. The " Generall settings should be pretty straightforward. I recommend leaving them at their default Values for now.&nb...

Prison Framework mod is progressing smoothly

Dubbed "Prison Alternative" as a working title, I'm making solid progress on the Prison Framework which will eventually serve as a Venue to integrate the Deadly Furnitures into the game.

The main Goal is to have a System which allows for dependency-free and easy integration of unlimited new Events at any point. either by me or by others who feel inclined to do so. while i did only test this with small dummy events yet, registration and execution of such modules seems to work fine.

About follower support

With the prison framework, the question of follower support popped up.

Limiting the support to the Vanilla follower system would greatly reduce the overall complexity and chance for errors, while supporting multiple followers during prison events might of course be appealing to some of people.

Since I myself don't play with followers at all, I´m asking you about your preferences and priorities. whats more important to you?

Back to business

First of, i want to thank you for your Patience over the last month and also welcome those who have decided to become a new patron, despite the lack of new content recently.

As the title suggest, this semesters exams are over and the situation at my workplace has normalized, which means i´ll be getting back to a more reliable upload rate.

Over the last few weeks, i have been busying myself with some quality of live improvements for the Gallows, as well as some assistance for 2021-04-12 17:48:20 +0000 UTC View Post

Another Freebie

I know, I know. This is becoming a bit of a reoccurring theme here, but  I don't want to Rip people off. Therefore, once more,

Payments for this month will be suspended, you will not be charged.

Due to increased workload at my day job, I simply don't have the time required for modding right now. And since the Corona pandemic wont be over anytime soon (at least not in Europe) I have to make sure to put in the hours while i still have an actual job. I hope you can understand. 2021-03-18 20:24:49 +0000 UTC View Post

Status update 26.02.2021

Just a quick update to let you know that I´m still alive.

Since I´m still in the middle of some Exams, there isn't much new progress yet, and I apologize for that. I´ll resume work on the Impaler after next week.

But some minor developments regarding integration into actual full mods have transpired as well. For Example:

Lupine00 (Developer of Devious Followers)...

Voting is concluded

Didn't expect the result to be this clear, but i had hoped for this outcome.

Its the Impaler. Final design is still Subject to change, but I got a first Draft ready. Demo of the Device with "Volunteer" on the PDF(S) support thread: 

https://www.loverslab.com/topic/142563-pama%C2%B4s-deadly-furniture-scripts/page/24/?tab=comments...

Concept for the Impaler

As requested, this is the General Idea I had in mind for the Impalement Option from the current vote.

(Bonus points to those who can guess my average Grades in Arts Class)

A Matter of Opinion

Due to a certain someone´s insistence, I´m putting the following question up for Vote.

When placing a cross via the Spell, which orientation is more intuitive?

1: Copying the orientation of the player (facing the same direction)

2: Having it rotated by 180 degree, so it faces the player.

About the Execution mod

Just wanted to let you know how the Development of this thing will continue from here on.

Since this will be a big mod with more than just me involved, I WONT put it up in any Vote. Instead I will work on it in the Background between the smaller Devices. The Reason for this is the aforementioned Involvement of Delzaron, as well as the fact that it just kills my motivation if i force myself to work on the same thing for a prolonged period of time. Its easier for me if I have a bit of var...
