Why do some scene's disappear when npc's become crew?

[Mad Dog]

Like Ardia's vagina scene. I don't think it relied too much on the environment, so why was it removed when she became crew? Or what about Reaha's doggy style vag scene? The PC can still cuff her to the wall it wouldn't be too hard to make the scene a little less rapey.

Is it a coding issue? I'm not very tech-savvy in regards to things like coding but can scenes not just be moved around?

I don't know for any other character, but I know some of Amber's scenes relied on the assumption the PC is in the Mhen'gan Jungle, with huge trees, rocks, and leaf-litter. Penny's scenes were modified from being on her police desk to her private crewman's desk, so modification is possible, if tedious.

Penny's scenes didn't really change. They all carried over I think.

Yes, the small context edits are what I am referring to

There's literally no coding-related reason they can't; it's most likely because the authors either forgot or didn't want to port those scenes over.

 

[Nonesuch]

Your relationship to the person you're fucking and where the fucking is taking place matter a great deal to a scene. For example Ramis's one night stands with the player are nonsensical if she's on their ship, working for them. Sometimes they can be adapted, more often it makes sense to just come up with different scenes.

If you're tired of a crew member's sex scenes, kick them off the ship and hook up with them wherever they set up shop. You can always re-recruit them later.

Actually, most kicked-off crew members only have the option to re-recruit them or not; in those cases, recruiting them means their pre-crew-exclusive scenes are now permanently inaccessible. Even if you could have sex with them, Nonesuch's point still stands, especially if they wait for you somewhere different to where they were before you recruited them (e.g. Anno hangs out at Anon's, so it wouldn't make sense to have a shooting contest with her like you could before she was recruited).

That's a bug that's never been fixed.

That's a bug that's never been fixed.

Are there any plans on fixing it? How difficult would it be?

Dunno, not a codeboy.

Are there any plans on fixing it? How difficult would it be?

Only a few lines of code in her sex menu:

if(pc.hasCock())
    {
        if(pc.cockThatFits(ardia.vaginalCapacity(0)) >= 0) addButton(0,"Fuck Her",cockSelect,[fuckArdiasCunt,ardia.vaginalCapacity(0),false,0],"Fuck Her","Slam your dick into Ardia’s cunt and pound the wanna-be alpha until she’s a screaming, cum-soaked mess.");
        else addButton(0,"Fuck Her",fuckArdiasCunt,pc.smallestCockIndex(),"Fuck Her","Slam your dick into Ardia’s cunt and pound the wanna-be alpha until she’s a screaming, cum-soaked mess.");
    }
    else addDisabledButton(0,"Fuck Her","Fuck Her","You need a penis for this!");

This is copy-pasted from what's currently in the code, but can easily be adapted to her sex menu. Though if it's going to be a standalone scene, the first part will have to be re-written, since it's currently a continuation of her Zheng Shi cunnilingus scene.

Alternatively, we could bring her entire Zheng Shi sex scene repertoire over to the ship by adding an intro to the cunnilingus scene (since it currently starts with Ardia being undressed), then adding a single line to her sex menu:

addButton(9,"Eat Her Out",eatOutArdia,true,"Eat Her Out","Munch on Ardia’s proverbial rug.");

where "true" means "play that new intro". Actually adding the intro will require some simple modifications to the eatOutArdia function, but as I said, they're simple; we just need to wait for someone (e.g. Savin) to write the intro, which I don't think needs to be much more than a sentence or two of preparing for the rest of the scene.

 

[Savin]

I did! I adapted the whole thing for Crew!Ardia :v

I guess it's less "bug" and more "whoops forgot to code things"

 

[TheShepard256]

I did! I adapted the whole thing for Crew!Ardia :v

I noticed that the code for some of those scenes had variations for being immune to Ardia's addiction (which is only possible if she's crew), but the scene still starts with Ardia being naked. That's why I suggested the intro; if you've already written it, it hasn't been coded in yet.

I guess it's less "bug" and more "whoops forgot to code things"

Posted a bug report anyways, so hopefully it's just a few builds off.

Going back to old scenes fucking blows

1) Sigh and muster up the motivation to port old scenes over
2) Check old document
3) Confronted with my old writing, sometimes multiple years old
4) Cringe and stick my tongue out in disgust
5) Grapple with the notion that were I to port this scene over it would be a misrepresentation of my improvement over the years and leave people thinking "damn this dude hasn't improved in X years? wack"
6) Sigh and
6a) give up entirely
6b) write an entirely new scene, taking only some inspiration from the old scene

And that's part of why Amber doesn't have all her old scenes, because I wrote them in 2016-17. Of course this is also subject to individual tastes which simply can't be accounted for, but whatever. There's also just the fact that going back to old work sucks in and of itself, like a river that's run dry.
