[A16] Humanoid Alien Framework

[erdelf]

So far, in my games - Aliens are only 'attracted' to members of their own species, or even sub-species.

For example: a Purple Asari will only see other purple Asari as attractive, light blue will only see other light blues.
I've been trying to figure out if this is just some kind of bug in my setup, or not.

I just checked the following couples successfully again:
Human and Orassan
Human and human (just to test)
orassan and orassan
asari and human
asari and asari

Is the option for custom draw sizes a placeholder or am I just not using it properly? I was hoping it'd just be able to up/downsize the pawn.

Also can't seem to figure out how to make apparel race-restricted, been reading through the source.

Drawsize is a placeholder. When writing the code I put this in because I'd hoped to find a way to enable bigger/smaller pawns. However the code for rendering humanlike pawns is quite difficult to access and most of my experiments resulted in failure. Mabye Erdelf finds a way to make this possible.

To make race-restricted apparel, you have to add this comp:

Code Select Expand


      <li Class="AlienRace.CompProperties_RestrictedRace">
        <RestrictedToRace>NAMEOFYOURALIENRACE</RestrictedToRace>
      </li>

Thanks for answering ohu.
Just last night I enabled another placeholder, so I'll work on that as well.

Can I fix a save file where this error occurs?
sorry, my poor English.

Hi, I have exactly the same problem as NipponGin mentioned above (Comms Console doesn't work). I found out by disabling and enabling mods that Crystalloid Mod is causing the error:

I'm using a lot of mods and only by deactivating Crystalloid i got rid of the Coms Console Bug. With RimEffect, Jaffa/Kree or Orassans it works.

With all these new races, just a little request.
Could you modify the popup msg. for any recruiting event to show what kind of race the pawn got ?

Or even better, add an "i" to open the information screen of that pawn.

Thanks, that was crucial information. Published a temporary fix until the Crystalloid author fixes his leader issue.

"Published" means, you allready post a fix ? I didn't found any so far.

I just checked the following couples successfully again:
Human and Orassan
Human and human (just to test)
orassan and orassan
asari and human
asari and asari

I started using SeveralPuffins romance mod to 'rebalance' my colonists attractions.

I'm not sure what the problem was - but it may have been more related to the age spans of the colonists and their races, than any kind of attraction 'errors'. (IE the orassans were not attracted to 200+ year old asari, the 25 year old humans were not attracted to 15-16 year old orassans... etc)
