HTML X-Change™ Life [v0.21.7.1] [Aphrodite]

[mazerati]

One of the main things I’m looking for in the save corruption thing, is any browser console errors that may occur for you when the save corruption happens (it would happen during saving rather than during loading which is the tough part, because you wouldn’t yet know it’s corrupt). So far I have not been able to reproduce the issue myself, as soon as I have a way to reproduce it I’ll be able to fix it… hopefully!!

I'm not sure if people encounter the save issue without modding the game, however, I do get it most of the times and I play only with mods. If it is important to recreate it no matter if the game is modded or not:

I had played for few days with some mods. Today I decided to add a few more mods that are up to date and supported and continue from the same save. Upon saving after just 1 day with the new mods, my save got corrupted. Once I removed the newly added mods, I no longer got a corrupted save upon saving. If you are interested in recreating this, let me know, I will send you my save, the mods that were loaded during the playthrough and the mods that I added in order to get a corrupted save.

there are two mods that add scenes with the step dad. one is a mod that allows you to spike the dad with the maid pill and you can chose to have sex or not. the other mod is after you have the live in maid effect the dad will force you to do a sex act. I don't know if these are what you meant but it would be nice if there was more stuff with both the dad and the sister being drugged and drugging.

yeah the one where you can drug the step dad thats the one i was talking about do you know what mod that is by anychance

I do not recommend using the Twine application for anything. If you just want to make a mod, technically the only thing you need is a text editor (VS Code is what most people use) and you'll want the twee language add-on.

I recommend installing git and tweego, as described on the project's gitgud page, so you can search the base game's source on your own computer and find things, as well as rebuild the game when new patches come out.

But you do not need Twine for anything and XCL hasn't used it for a long time now.

You're prob right, and editor is enough if you have all skills and knowledge needed to do that, or if you just want to get into an already done mod and play a bit with it.
But still, you have to get the extension in VSCode and I personlly benefited to know a bit of Twine to understand how the whole structure of the game work. And then I needed Twine to export the base html game to a .twee file. As far as I recall, I just followed the instructions given in the previously attached doc written by some devs.

Idea was to give some general guidelines regarding the experience I had. Felt a bit baffled by the amount of stuff to know as well as where to get it. So, one hs the option to go to the Mods area in Discord and ask or just, depending on his knowledge of the stuff, simply discard what one considers is not usefull to him.

You can use tweego for that too, and also... why did you need to decompile it at all? The game is opensource.

Let's say I'd like to do some checking .twee x .twee and see how the whole thing works. Point is, I just know nothing about twego. So as starting point I'm using VSCode as recomended. As it says, I'm still a Newbie . If we were talking about C++ or java maybe I could have something to tell but, that's not case. Still stumbling and learning,... as the newbie I am. Just willing to contribute to the game.

thank you and yeah i agree

If anyone wants to tinker with XCL, make mods, or just see how it works, I recommend following the instructions here:

You must be registered to see the links

You install a few freely-available and very common programs and then you'll have access to the actual source code, not just what Twine decompiles from the html file. One of the problems with using Twine to decompile is that it does not reproduce the file structure of the actual source code, instead it just dumps everything into one place. The source code is organized and deliberately spread across over a hundred different files.

One of the other problems with using Twine is that XCL uses a fair amount of javascript internally, not just Harlowe, and Aphrodite has indicated that in the future that will likely only increase as XCL keeps running up against the limits of what Harlowe is able to do. In order to understand what's going on and potentially make modifications, you're going to be a lot happier with direct access to the source code for the javascript (and CSS) rather than whatever form Twine dumps it in.

So I'm trying to get some content from a mod and I need to get the "Fucked Silly" status three times in one day. Is there something I'm missing? It seems like I can only get it once per section of each day, I'm at the point where I feel like a bug with mods and me being really stupid and missing something are both equally as possible, does anyone have any advice?

Maybe you where fucked silly? But jokes aside what is the problem? You have to get it 3 times and you have 3 section of the day so whats the problem?

My name is apt for me yet again.

I had that thought though. I Tried the only option I have for morning that I thought would give me that, workout, I didn't get it though I only tried it one time. I'll give that more of a try, thank you!

 

[cnwjr]

For the fucked silly option, you have to orgasm 3 times in a single sex session.

I don't know of anything that requires you to get fucked silly 3 times.

However, for the non-bedroom sections, it is fairly easy - if you use the minigame. It is also much easier if you have some of the side effects. For the bedroom, the easiest way is usually with passive sex. Again, certain side effects can make this easier.

 

[cnwjr]

For the game source, you can simply download it from the gidgud site without bothering with the other tools to create your own html file.

You really only need the project/twee and src directories.

The first is the twee files and the second is the javascript and css files.

Also Im pretty sure you can get laid twice in mail/bar/club for example if you have low enough reluctance and you arent caught

Mmm, this is somewhat true but I believe the game uses a custom Harlowe build, so grabbing the storyformat folder too would be a good idea. And in general, by not grabbing the full repo you'll be giving up the ability to just do npm run build.

 

[cnwjr]

I don't have the desire or need to build my own version from the git. I did say above that you don't really need the other tools and I simply don't use them. Thus, I see no need to get all the other stuff like the custom Harlowe or other info. To work with the source, all you need is the two directories of code.

Sorry for my lack of knowledge but, is there any link or place or doc where I can get info regarding how the different passages/places in X-Change relate to one another? Something describing how the structure of the program works as a whole? How it's organized, actually.

Sometimes I feel a bit lost to choose where do I set my Entry and Exit point to the main game when planning a mod.

next update when ?

A lot of this depends on what kind of mod you want to do. Some have simple passage tags that pick up the code you write and include it when needed. Other times you will use an existing template, such as the method of adding new bar girls or new characters to the game. Still other times, you will use [around] on an existing passage to add additional code. Less common, you will replace an existing passage in its entirety.

How does the volleyball mingame actually work? It seems to be lacking in a tutorial. I have no idea when to click or what the dial even means.
