Anyone else having issues with not having any sound at all? Unless I'm out of the loop and the game has zero sounds. Settings have it at 100% volume and my PC says its on full blast, but still nothing
The vanilla (no mods) game doesn't currently have any sound.

Radnor I've completely remade the mod using shakey's guide, and it works. (Yay!) Now it just can't find the assets. It managed to find them once, but since then stopped.

It looks like this in the mod
Code:
    "asset_packs":[
        ("bots Assaultron","ey_bots Assaultron"),
And here's the filepath: \game\mods\assets\images\ey_bots\assaultron

I also can't get on your Discord using the link here. Otherwise I would have asked you there.

Ah, i think issue is with upper case filenames. Always use "ey_bots assaultron" etc when dealing with files. RenPy is picky, plus it will save you some headache when playing/using mod on different OS.
Also it is really good idea to use a-z0-9 and _ for part/model id, no upper case, no spaces.
So change paths to lower case and rename your bot model to "assaultron". Name and description can be anything readable, it is id and file paths are important.

Checked discord link on first post, seems to open right server invite and invite is valid. Don't know why it wouldn't work, sorry.

hate to admit it, but when I need to raise Social skill; I save before I go...then I save scum each time until I get over 100XP for that AP. Then once I get the 1XX XP, I save, return and spend the 2nd AP, rinse and repeat. So for the 4 AP of relaxing, I'll get between 420 and 550 XP into Social. Even doing that, it can take a long time to raise social. It is by far, the most difficult to raise. And not by a small margin either.

Combat is easy to raise, but be selective. If you are using mods, don't train up your own combat by using bots with wings and tails. Those get damaged in combat training and that's 2 more parts to repair on your bot. That's just wasting your AP..IMHO. Any bot you practice/train in combat; wears on their Eyes, Arms, Legs and Skin. Add Wings and Tails, and you can spend almost 1/2 a day fixing damage from training, vs just most of 1 time period.

If you resort to savescumming you might as well change the xp gain.
Go to DSCS\game\mods\0050_base_content\tunings.json
Find xxx_difficulty_mc_xp_rate": {
where xxx=your preferred difficulty
Change "social": x.x, to whatever you want.
It's a multiplier so 1 is baseline, 10 would give 10x xp etc.

Wow, just asking about the gameplay. I know how to change rate, I just didn't know where to get the experience. It's not the same. :)

It was not meant as a condescending or insulting reply and I'm sorry if you interpreted it that way.
It was meant more like "if you think the balance is bad that you save scum social xp just change the rate to save your time"
My reply was mostly meant for dmmt but since you said thanks to "slowly...save scumming works 1/2 well....Leave-->RoboClub-->Relax." I figured I might as well include you incase you feel the same way about it.

And for the record:
I don't blame anyone for save-scumming or changing the rate because raising social in the current game is painfully slow compared to the rest of the skills.

Yep, I only save scum the social cause it is S-L-O-W in an almost redefining way. lol And thanks for the info on adjusting the awarded XP. I'll be experimenting with that; and seeing about the rate too. (Rate meaning the frequency where there is no XP award...)

edit: OK, looking at the various JSON files...I don't see where base XP is determined. I can see where under ea difficulty level, a multiplier is applied TO the awarded XP; but I dont see where the awarded XP originates. Am I missing something, or is that "hard coded" in one of the (for lack of a better term) "system" files? (rpy, python, etc)

There are many things that are only in the system files. I for example was looking to change the virginity sealing mechanic. Meaning, if sex skills are 0, why seal is broken, or why only one. Conversely if sex skills are > 0 why seal sometimes whole. Well, for the second one I have some explanation - the previous owner's little dick couldn't do the job well. . :)

You'd have to unpack the game rpa, change this file then repack the rpa. Unless someone knows a way to change or override renpy labels with a mod.
Way easier to just change the difficulty xp modifier.
