Nightgames Mod (v2.5.1.2) updated 2/11/17

[dndw]

Oh okay. Looking forward to that full editor. As for the scene editor, only thing I'm wondering is when these scenes would show up and which scenes are even available. (Can I write daytime scenes? What kind of fight endings can I even write? etc.)

The scenes are victory/draw/defeat scenes, one-liners you see in combat (for example, when you run out of stamina, or orgasm) and the start-of-fight description. Each of them supports tags and multiple alternatives. Daytime scenes (or daytime content of any sort) are not supported for custom NPCs. As for what kind of endings you can write; there are three basic types: Victory, Draw and Defeat. These are from the NPC's perspective, so Victory means the NPC beat the player. If you're going to write an NPC, you'll need at least one of each kind. To write more, you can add requirements to them. The Creator allows you to build a requirement structure in its appropriately named tab. You can write as many scenes as you want, but there must always be one with matching requirements. The easiest way to do that is by having a requirement-less default scene, but you could also calculate two sets of requirements which are each other's logical complement and that either one must therefore be true. The scenes will be considered top-down, so you'll want the scene with the most restrictive requirements at the top, and the default scene at the bottom. You'll want to check generalr's guide on how to write custom characters if you want to try your hand before the editors arrive.


Edit:


@eyecourt Are you sure you are running the latest version? There are still some lines that don't take spectating into account, but almost all of the skills and statuses do now.

I downloaded the most recent version of the game from the post you linked and I deleted the older files, including the old saves.

• I can't Browse Porn, button doesn't work
  

Browse Porn is limited by the player's arousal, if it is more that 'player level * 15 + 100', then Browse Porn Sites button shows just blank screen. I'm over the cap too. It should be nice, if it would give some message.

Aaaaaaaahhhh, thanks. Never knew that.

I don't know what is wrong. I have .jav files set to be opened by Java Platform SE binary, I have downloaded 2.2.0 and 2.0.6, neither want to pull up. When Java attempts to pull them up, I get a command window from Java, then it flashes with an error, then is gone before I can read more. I don't know what is wrong and have played a past version on another computer before and loved it (1.8.3). I want to play a newer version but my current laptop is not wanting me to though. Any advice that I can be given?

If you want manually set .jar files opened with Java you can only set it in registry or command line with assoc, ftype commands. I recommend to reinstall Java it should set proper associations.

 

[Inudracon]

I have tried that. I may just have to wait on my new computer. I try running any of the java apps like javaw or any of those in the bin folder and they pop up with a brief error message. Yet, anything I use java for in a web browser works without a problem. I can't open this with a web browser because it pops up trying to say I need to download it to the computer or something. Something is obviously wrong but I am beyond understanding what it could be and thus don't know where to even begin looking.

Could you post the error message you get? Reinstalling Java should work, but without the error message I can't really help.

I don't see it because it just flashes and then is gone and I don't know where it would save to or if it even saves anywhere.

 

[Rikis]

Jar file should be run like this: javaw -jar Nightgames.jar


Working directory should be where files were extracted.

hey when do the addictions happen ? I am like  level 36 and still nothing 

 

[jskil5]

hey when do the addictions happen ? I am like  level 36 and still nothing 

Kat bites you during sex


Reyka you need to have some dark points and has to simply kiss you


Cassie breast milk is her addiction(so you need to suck her breasts or have her use nurse on you)


Angel's addiction triggers if you cum inside her vagina


Jewel's addiction is triggered by running out of stamina


Mara looks you in the eyes while you cum(sometimes you'll get lucky and look away)


let me know if i missed any

 

[Vasin]

I think with Angel you have to voluntarily initiate Vaginal sex. Which is difficult with her overuse of invitation. . .


I think you have to be in a submissive position for Jewel.

Actually, the voluntary requirement is for Reyka's Corruption. Angel's Zeal will trigger regardless of who initiated the sex. To compensate for the more stringent requirements, Reyka's effect is more powerful What @jskil5 said is also true; Reyka has two methods. It's not just kisses though; it's any lip-to-skin contact. The effect builds up with each contact and diminishes over time. If it grows beyond a certain threshold it causes addiction (but only slightly, because it's so common).


Jewel's addiction is not caused by submissive positions, but rather by running out of stamina. It does, however, aggravate the effects of being in a submissive position.

 

[Bronzechair]

- It doesn't seem like Yui can be added to the day menu for Ninjutsu training, no matter how many times you meet her while exercising.
- Having ranks in Ninjutsu creates ninja stashes in the Workship, Library, etc even during FTC matches. Also, you can never interact with ninja stashes; there's simply no button for it.
- "Jewel uses Bunshin Service. Jewel moves in a blur and suddenly you see 5 of she approaching youself."
- "Jewel uses Bunshin Assault. Jewel moves in a blur and suddenly you see 6 of she approaching youself."
- "Jewel uses Goodnight Kiss. Jewel surreptitiously coats her lips with a powerful sedative, careful not to accidently ingest any. As soon as she sees an opening, she darts in and kiss you softly. Only a small amount of the drug is actually transfered by the kiss, but it's enough. MalePC immediately staggers as the strength leaves your body."
- Someone fucking your ass can use Assjob on you.
- You can use Steal Clothes while Winded.
- Steal Clothes seems to take clothing that your opponent doesn't have on them but is from their outfit. Specifically, Jewel has only a gi and a thong in her outfit, and I can steal her gi and wear it when she only has a thong on. It's not hard to imagine you're snagging the item from the ground were it stripped off in that particular fight, but it doesn't account for Tear Clothes and clothing they didn't enter the battle with at all.
- Speaking of Tear Clothes, why does it sometimes mention you/them cutting up their clothes with a scapel? Seems to happen consistently when your opponent uses Tear Clothes when you have only a single article left.
- Back to Steal Clothes. It lets you wear a strap-on as a penis-haver. I'm unsure if this will cause any problems, but I mention it because it probably results in some oddness; I noticed it still prefers your dick when using sex moves, but it aso shows the F/F (strap-on) picture when fucking a woman.
- Attire Shift is spelled "Attrie Shift" in a fight.
- Cheap Shot automatically grabs your opponent from behind. This may be intentional, but it's not reflected in the flavor text. Same thing for Emergency Jump.

I'd love to play this game its a shame java just wont work for me everytime i try it just doesn't start and redownloading java doesn't work    because idk access denied comes up all the time  rip  

 

[ShadowBlaze94]

I'm getting a weird/frustrating issue where my outfit reverts to default and my closet empties itself and I have no idea what's causing it, it just seems to happen occasionally when I load my save file. I've also tried to save edit my outfit back the way it was, but doing that just causes the game to refuse to load

 

[ThatOneJester]

Not sure if you fixed this or not, in the next update.


But here after Angel used a talisman on me, she then did the flying fuck thing.


After I struggled a bit it said this:


 You use Struggle. Weakened by {selfossessive} squirming, {other:SUBJECT-ACTION:fall|falls} to the ground and so {self:action:do|does} {self:name-do}. Fortunately, {otherossessive} body cushions {selfossessive} fall, but you're not sure {self:action:if she appreciates that as much as you do|if you appreciate that as much as she does}. While {other:subject-action:are|is} dazed, {self:subject-action:mount|mounts} {other:direct-object} and {self:action:start|starts} fucking {other:direct-object} in a missionary position. Angel was hurt for 50 Angel has calmed down by 40


Since I feel like I'm kind of missing out, what is it supposed to say..?


Edit: I found another one.


During the night flag event, after the first person I fought and won against was Airi.


I sat on the narrow pass waiting to ambush somebody 3-4 times.


Then this popped up after I pressed wait again:


Airi lost 1 willpower (Lovestruck).
"...You will pleasure yourself..."
Your hands involunarily reach into your crotch and start masturbating!
"...You will pleasure yourself..."
Your hands involunarily reach into your crotch and start masturbating!
"...You will pleasure yourself..."
Your hands involunarily reach into your crotch and start masturbating!
"...Give yourself to me..."
With no input from your consciousness, your body mechanically walks up to Angel's body and presses itself into her slime. While immobilized by your inability to send signals through your locomotive nerves, your body slowly sinks into her crystal blue body.
You are walking through a narrow pass carved through a steep hill. You could try ambushing someone here, but others could easily do the same to you.
 You are hiding in an alcove in the pass.


This doesn't make sense?

 

[ANONON]

whenever i get captured I start losing willpower, is this intended? it does make fights more difficult, but its somewhat unsatisfying to lose, or win, in that fashion. Makes counter a real trial to push through.

 

[gmant]

I noticed a lot of non-combat scenes still don't detect the player's gender properly. It's a bit weird to be playing as a girl and then get a victory scene in which you fuck a girl with a cock you don't have.

 

[dndw]

Sorry I've been so quiet recently, but at present I only have about 1-2 hours of free time a day (and little more in the weekends) and, to be brutally honest, better ways to spend them. I've had a look at the bugs that have been reported, and while some are easy to fix, others are not. I'll get around to them eventually, but not for a few weeks.

It is intentional; this was added a few versions back to increase the usefulness of Power builds. It might be a good idea to cap it, though. Like, being dominated alone won't lower your willpower beyond X, or X% of the maximum.

That's unfortunately true. The original game was built for a male protagonist with no way of changing his gender, and while (primarily) nergantre and I have made efforts to 'genderify' most of the combat, the scenes have not all been adapted. If anyone were inclined to write female varieties, I'd gladly add them, but considering the above I won't be writing them myself anytime soon. Also, keep in mind that the girls might no longer be girls when the scenes are triggered.

 

[gmant]

Yeah, the male-only thing was what I disliked about the original Night Games. Unfortunately I'm an amateur at regular writing at best, I'm not confident that I'd be able to help you with new win/loss smut scenes.

 

[Bronzechair]

Hey all, i've been lurking for a while and decided to make a first post. I kinda got into night games because it was really the only text games with potential foot fetish stuff in it, which i love, but the NPC's in the latest version never really seems to give footjobs or utilize any of the foot fetish moves. I tried writing a custom modifier to encourage the behaviors and cancel others, but i don't know shit about that, so needless to say it didn't work.  Can anyone help me out with this?

They need to be barefoot (or at least in socks) for all foot-related actions, and NPCs generally don't remove their footwear. You can save-edit or alter their outfits so they have no shoes by getting all lovey-dovey with them during the day, or you can divest their footwear during battle, but you'll have to do it every time, and some of the stripping skills interact oddly with footwear. As well, for modifiers, there's one for foot fetish status that you may be interested in, in addition to the standard moves like footjob and foot pump.

{
				"type" : "opponent-status",
				"value" : "footfetish",
				"weight" : 1.5
          }

 

[Bronzechair]

Thanks man, i didn't now about the the daytime related thing. About the modifier, i have no idea how to apply it.

There's a file called DefaultAiModifications.json in your data folder. First, make a copy of it in case you mess up and need to revert the changes. Then open it with Notepad and scroll down to find the girl you want to modify. She may already have skills like Footjob, in which case you can simply increase the weight of it to make her use it more often. Most of the weights are around a value of 1 so use a negative number if you want them to use a move less, since simply dropping it to 0 won't have much effect. Pay close attention to the syntax when editing anything, or you might break it and have to restore your copy. You can simply replace one of the entries with the one I pasted above if it's not there by default, but make sure there's a comma after the closing curly brace if it's not the last entry for that girl. I'd think the opponent-status type mods should simply satisfy them after they apply said status, but in my experience it makes them focus aggressively on increasing the severity of the status, which naturally leads to them using more foot-related skills in general. I can't confirm if this is actually true or not, but I don't see how it could hurt. Otherwise, just add however much weight you want to footjob, foot pump, behindfootjob, etc.

 

[Bronzechair]

There are many examples already present, so you just need to take a look at them and replace the weight/value/type already there with the weight/value/type you want. I'll run you through an example, but if that's still unclear then I'm not sure what else to tell you. Sorry.


I'm looking at the top of the unedited file now. Angel has Blowjob (value) listed, which is a skill (type), and it has a weight of 1.0. You can replace "Blowjob" with any other skill (e.g. Footjob) and it'll still work. If you want that entry to become a status or position or something else, you'll have to change the type from "skill" to "self-status"/"opponent-status" or "stance", and then the value (Blowjob) to an appropriate one (Shamed, for a status example, or StandingOver for an example of a stance). In all cases, the weight simply helps determine how likely she is to perform that action when it's possible. Mind you, the AI can't account for future turns; it simply looks at the options it has that exact turn. If you don't know the name of the exact type/value you want, you can find it by extracting your Night Games .jar file with something like WinZIP and looking in the appropriate folder. Names are case-sensitive, I believe.

Alright good to hear. I do think it adds difficulty, which is good, but I dislike when it ends the fight without me actually 'finishing' it. Ive had it happen multiple times where the fight ended either due to me mounting the opponent or the opponent mounting me, no full lust bar needed.


With that understood, I agree that capping the willpower loss would be a great idea, just so it would take an actual orgasm to win/lose. instead of being randomgrappled/ziptied to finish

Hey dndw, I am a long time fan of Nightgames and just found the mods.  I'm really enjoying them and some of them are things I had considered doing myself for a while.  If you would like some help I'm willing to give it.  I am Java programmer by degree and career and have even played with the original NightGames code a bit.  If it would be too much trouble to have someone else coding I can at least do some writing (I am an erotica writer by hobby as well).  Let me know if I can do anything to help take some of the burden off of you and keep this great mod running forward.

 

[Crazymoniker]

I don't see the GUI bug, but I'll keep looking. It's really strange. Are you on Windows?


The ninjitsu stuff wasn't actually repeating; Jewel's special exercise scene overflowed into Yui's first one. But that one was there all along. I just tried accessing Yui's content from scratch and it worked fine. Something may have gone wrong with the new saving mechanism, but I can't see how. Anyway, until I upload the fix, there's two things you can do:


    - Add the "YuiLoyalty" flag at the bottom of your save; this will unlock Yui during the day.


    - Remove all flags mentioning Yui; this will allow you to restart her 'story line' from the beginning. (This might not work very well before the fix)


Browse Porn is working fine for me (this is getting seriously annoying...), is there anything of note in your log files?


There where some problems with temporary willpower limits, which I've fixed, but I haven't found why it was being reduced so dramatically. (I did actually see it happen this time, so it's definitely there, but it does seem to be rare).


I have no time to dig any deeper now, but I will try to get a fix out later today. Otherwise, it'll be tomorrow.

Well, I just assume it's something to do with my saves. It doesn't help that the saves seem to have lost its clarity (each object separated by spaces rather than shifted to the next line) but I've noticed that if you've inputted the traits incorrectly, the button doesn't work, as was the case when I browsed for porn and the button doesn't work (in older versions I think the thing just crashes). So I believe it might be to do with my saves, since this save was way back, before even 2.1. Nothing pops up for the log files. I've tried creating a new game and gave everyone 45k xp (994 points to distribute, thank god for number inputs, why did I even try...) and tried browsing for porn - that works just fine. And it's not connected with Expert Googler - already checked that. So probably with the carried-over save.


***************


With the log files, I've started the save I've got and tried to play. Nothing popped up until I played against Jewel - until then, all played as normal. Then, these numbers came up:


0.027965939
0.055931877
0.083897814
0.111863755
0.1398297
0.16779563
0.19576156
0.23444179
0.273122
0.31180224


I am guessing that this might be a build up of addiction? I looked at the time when I was fucking Jewel from a submissive position, and I was losing stamina due to her specialities. After I came for the first time, after every turn, a new number came up, and my maxiumum willpower was halving. Then I lost the fight because I was over-aroused with 1 max willpower. I even remember a session during the Forest whilst playing this version as well - after cuming, I lost 2 willpower out of 8. Granted, I was feral, but it was weird to look at. After this fight, I fought with others, but even whilst walking around/fighting, the maximum willpower would usually just keep dropping.


The whole thing reminds me of Cassie's addiction with limited willpower.


************************


I like what you did with Jewel's addiction, though. Getting stuck underneath and not being able to grind for mojo did hurt. At this point in the game, however, would just like to point out that taking the Trait "Personal Inertia" is now officially the so-hard-for-the-times-you-think-you're-some-hot-shit-until-you-get-permablocked mode. Not that I ever tried to take it during this version, but maybe that trait needs a little....buff. Maybe just make the negative effects last twice as long and watch as you stop being cynical in the middle of being entranced/charmed/winded/godcan-only-tell-you-when-to-stop-masturbating. For funsies.

Windows 7 starter pack 1 bullshit that's a hundred years old. But yeah, I notice that it only really happens after activating the 'choose everyone's skills' debug mode. Also while its a pretty good step. The 'Watch match' is just them taking turns targeting me and my junk and not each other and it was really strange.

I solved the problem; JRE 1.8 doesn't seem to like Swing rendering, due to something going wonky with Direct3D. You need to create an Environmental Variable called "J2D_D3D" and then set it to false.


You do this by opening up Control Panel, selecting "System and Security," selecting "System," and then opening up "Advanced System Settings." After that, click on the button "Environment Variables..." then press "New..." then in Variable Name, type "J2D_D3D" without quotes, and for Variable Value type "false" without quotes. Press Ok, press OK, then Press OK, and Viola, no more weird-ass UI shit.

 

[zololi]

So I am able to open the game, however when I choose my perk and negative, assign my points, and name my character, when I click "start" or "advanced start" It just doesn't do anything, any help?

The most common cause for this is that you're trying to run the game directly from the archive. Try extracting the zip first (not to a special folder like C:\Windows or Program Files) and then try again.
