It would help to know which rooms you're having a issue with, so my guess is  sounds like your loading textureless addon rooms. Rooms can sometimes come with an Addon and also textures meant to be placed in the active mod folder. If you add the addon but not the active mod files with the room you're meant to use, you'll load an incomplete room. If you place the active mod files but no addon, the room won't appear at all in the room selection. So make sure you place both files and that you load the correct room.

Honestly there can be a number of other problems.

1. Texture Load

2. Amount of toys

3. Texture sizes

4. Amount of tris (high poly stuff) that the game is loading

5. Corrupt files

So its up to you to know your limit, in this case your PC limits. To read any detail/information for a addon/mod. And to be not afraid to inquire a issue with the addon/mod.

The answer I'm forced to face at this point is that my issue is likely a combination of these things and nothing is going to be resolved addressing just one thing. I've already backed everything up a few times over, so I'll just have to start from scratch.

Thanks to everyone who helped me out with your suggestions.

I hate to sound like a broken record here but as I said before, the chances that a room is creating major conflicts on other rooms is low. Any legacy room from 7.5 (that are made by berger and/or any rooms made for VX and/or rooms using H5 objects). Now, there 'are' rooms that has extra scripts and that could be creating problems. But I would imagine that the person sharing it would mention it (example: dp16 rooms that is using the treadmill, moto bike, etc).

As for model, I've heard of the model folder/files getting corrupted so it could create issues though, how it can get corrupted - I don't know as it appears randomly and it is hard to replicate.

After uninstalling and reinstalling countless times, this may actually be the answer, as after slowly introducing files from my old game, things take a turn once I put in the Save folder which contains the models. I just barely remember starting to have some issues after i had made some changes to a certain model. I'll come back after I do some more tests.

So I have some updates. After doing a number of uninstall and reinstalling, the issue is that whenever I try to load a second scene, the game crashes. This will happen consistently after introducing patches, and nothing else, not even basic hook5.

I don't know what to make of this except that the problem seem to lie in my own computer, which is a real disheartening prospect. If it's related to hardware, I wouldn't even know where to begin. 

It doesn't seem likely, but these problems seemed to have started shortly after I added a new SSD to my system, but the idea of that being the problem seems outrageous, but I suppose anything is possible when it comes to the whacky world of computers.

So yeah, I'm gonna sleep on it and hopefully someone can offer some advice.

Sometime after I added in a new level, my game suddenly crashes more often. Most I can do before a crash is load one level in the sequencer. If I leave the level and try to load a new scene, the crash is guaranteed. 

I've since rid myself of the level and all the files that came with it. I won't call it out right away since I don't to accuse the level itself as the culprit before I explore other options. 

I've also removed some levels and unused models from my game, since I was of the mind to downsize anyway.

I'm vaguely aware of some kind of "cache" folder somewhere in the game files that retains some data of content after it's been deleted, mostly for levels, I think. Something that could have been building up and has become too big for the game to handle, suddenly. Assuming this thing exists at all and maybe im just talking out my ass

Worse come to worse, there's a fresh install route, but I'll save that as last resort. Just want to make sure there's nothing I'm overlooking or straight up don't know about that can be causing the crashes.

If it matters, I'm running the latest version of the game with  hook5, but I doubt that has anything to do with it.

I probably should have done this much sooner. Some people here might be familiar with my videos going as far back as the gamerotica/sexvilla days, other might know me as the biggest Nickcockman simp in the world, which might be more offensive if we all weren't already here cranking it to video game girls. 

Simpitude aside, I hope to continue to make videos for everyone here to enjoy.

I love making movie / sequences that involve one or the other (or both) characters in an awkward situation. Kind of like the Taboo or MissaX series where, after the sex is over, you wish you could stick around to see how things unfold. The problem is, I'll spend hours and hours on the build up (flirting, setting, etc) that when it actually gets to the horizontal Tango, I've kind of lost interest and just start thinking up another storyline. But it's still so cool and I really enjoy the journey.

This is the same tragic story for so many of my projects. 

This is the second time now where I upload a video and within 24 hours, someone, literally one user, uploads a whole mess of gifs and kicks the vid off the front page. The fact that they're gifs is also a point of contention, since they're only videos in so far they're moving pictures, but I don't want to start a fight on all fronts.

I'm just a bit frustrated that videos I make, some which take a good deal of time to produce, might not be getting all the attention it might be because someone else was of the mind to spam uploads of gifs.

And so it doesn't get twisted, I'm not nearly as upset as I sound.  I make vids occasionally as a hobby, so it's not like there's any stakes to having a lot of views or whatever. It's the mere principle that someone is capable of drowning out other people's work because the system allows it. 

I think a simple one vid a day cap would be fair. It's just a guess, but it's one more video that 90% of the users of this website upload. Taking myself out of the equation, it would at least assure everyone's videos have a  more reasonable amount of time under the spotlight.

Sorry for bitching, but I hope something in that venting rant makes sense to someone.

I would like to use this level in my game:
 

However, no matter how I place the files, the level never shows up as a selection in my game. The active mod files seems pretty straight forward, but the actual addon alludes me. I actually have a hard time telling when to extract a zip or rar to a folder, then place or when to just actually place the zip/rar itself.

It's also possible that a hold over file from my 7.5 game might be messing with things, as I did some what sloppily just copy and pasted some things over without much thought. 

Such as it is, I would really really like to be able to use this level for a video I would like to make, so any help would be greatly appreciated. 

Thank you.

I like to make videos, but don't often have time and definitely don't have the knowledge to make some of the ideas in my head a reality as far as creating poses, models, level, textures etc. While there is quite a lot of free content to draw from on the site, some of what I would like to use doesn't always meet the standard that I would like to make a video with assuming it exists in the first place. I know there might be some people willing to take and make requests for free, but I feel I wouldn't have the grounds to be critical of something that I didn't pay for that someone else was nice enough to make,. Suffice it to say, I would be willing to pay a reasonable price for some things that I would like created

With all that in mind, my question becomes: Would it be unethical/uncouth to offer to post a request for paid work on the forums, and if it isn't where would the best place be? Or would I be better off DM'ing creators who might be interested?

I ask because I understand a lot of this site is fueled by free creativity and passion, and money can sometime erode good faith creation.

Unzip the addon and read the docs.  Then copy the folder "VX-OllyKDrawLayer" to Addons.  Edit "update.lua" as required going by the docs for your hair type.  If you still have problems, get back to me.. 

Happy to report that after actually reading the directions (imagine that?) the hair displays through the window.

Thank you so much, for making this addon and your patience helping me out.

Not explained in my DrawLayer addon, is that transparent objects use MultiDrawLayer( ) value to adjust which are drawn in front of each other.  Some hairs use 2 layers but in general even those use the same value for both.  I have no idea why some hairs use different values to others and also rooms.  But if they're close or the same the effects can be either the hair is blocked by a window or water or appears in front.

I'm sad to say that this hasn't worked at least for the room in question, but I will first admit I'm quite clear on how to install the addon. I'm never quite sure if I'm meant to drop the zip file to the addon folder or the folder within, and it seems to be different from addon to addon. On the chance I'm doing it wrong, some clarification would be helpful. Thanks

I took a picture to demonstrate the problem; certain modded hairs just disappear behind certain windows (a modded classroom in this case), and I'm hoping that this a known issue with a solution that I'm overlooking.

Thank you!

My history could be wrong here, but if you're talking about story mode sequences, they're a relic of a the past from the original developers more than a decade ago, when the game only existed as 3DSexvilla. Even when the game had more official support, they abandoned them when the community started pumping better sequences on their own more often.

THIS IS A PERFECT EXPAMPLE. i CANT FIX IT.New folder.zip

The pose doesn't seem to be doing anything particularly unusual for me.

What game version are you running? 7.5, VX?

If your pose is a loop, make sure the keys at very beginning and end are exactly the same. If it's not a loop, double check the key editor and make sure there are no extra hip rotation key frames where you don't want them.

I'm not great with pose editing, but if you're still stuck, drop a link here or in a PM and I can take a look, if you'd like.

Can anyone tell me how to fix a pose that:

Problem is I start the poses and the character spin 360 degrees about their hip? I don’t know how to fix? Is it fixable?

Is this a pose you're creating/adjusting in the Pose Editor or trying to use in the sequencer?

Making videos is pretty much what I do exclusively on this site. I enjoy the process, and definitely enjoy seeing the feedback after I release it. That said, when I look the types of videos I've made, the biggest distinctions seems to be length and plot/dialog, and I can't help but wonder what people typically prefer. Do you enjoy:

1) Short and to the point, no plot no dialog. I'm here for a quick fap, not a drama.

2 ) I like just enough story, dialog and characterization to set a scene, but don't let it get in the way of the porn.

3)  Give me lots of plot and dialog. I want to laugh, cry AND masturbate. Basically a movie with X-rated sex scenes.

4) I really don't mind any which way, as long as it's good.

5) Other


 

I'll soon have more videos to share, but I was wondering what has been the resolution to the problem that shut down videos for a little while. If I upload a video now, will people be able to watch it here?

And what about all the video I've posted up to now that doesn't seem to play? Will I have to reupload them here for people to be able to view them?

Thanks.

You need to make sure Model 2 is selected to give you the room options tab. If you already have that and it's still not working I'm at a loss - it should work just as well for Activemod additions as it does for the default room (it does for me).

Otherwise, if you're using Hook that may somehow be an issue here - but that's just a guess as I don't use it.

Figured it out. Models have to be in play for changes to work. I was just moving sliders and toggles with no model and nothing was happening but as long as even one model is loaded, the changes will happen as you make them.

Thank you so much. Learning about this helps a ton!

Room Options (press F12 to bring up the window). As the chairs all use a shared texture, the only way to remove this one is through Room Options (see pic).

Option 1 will remove this one chair - which is how the room was by default before Room Options were introduced. 

In the way, isn't it   Yet there it now is by default, occupying a preset room pose position.

You will find other room layout options there as well - and for all the other default rooms, although some don't actually do anything as this was a WIP at time of release.

 

It's frustrating that no matter how long I play this damn game, I always manage to learn some groundbreaking new feature every so often.

Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to be working for the level I showed in the screenshot. I did manage to get it work on the default level after saving the options, exiting and loading the level again and then loading those options, but none of that seems to work on the modded level. Am I missing a step or doing something wrong?

How would I go about removing this chair from the level?

Thanks!

Texture modding is really going to depend on what you are trying to do and how the UV map is laid out.  The basics are simple when cutting something out of a texture you need to add or modify the txf file as mentioned bu @AR34X.  Most UV maps it is easy to tell whats what you can easily cut the items.  Whithout understanding what issue you are having hard to tell you what direction to go.

My concern was that the texture in question was a reward given through Patreon, so it wasn't exactly mine to share. Fortunately, with @AR34X 's advice, and just being a bit more thorough, I was able to achieve what I intended, so I thank you both.

I have a pantyhose file that when worn dons a sweater and socks. I would like to mod the texture so that only the socks appear. I tried doing simple things with paint.net, but I'm running into an issue with bump maps or normal maps or both, and I don't really know what any of that means. Etc. etc. I'm not asking how to do it here, just which of the several tutorials I would be best served looking into so that I can hopefully solve the problem on my own and programs I would need to get it done.

Thank you very much!

See attached a photo of a problem that crops up usually when I'm changing clothes in any room. I'm not sure why it happens, but I'm just wonder if this is a know issue with a simple fix/mod/update etc. that'll resolve it. 

Thanks!
