Sexuality for 1.2.0

[JollyGG]

duly noted, i removed my reply

[Wraith]

Because of this thread I'm modifying the "Wraith's House of Spanking" module so players can decided which sex they prefer and whether they do or receive the spanking.

I was just going to do a quicky and link both the men and women in the navs, but have decided to use prefs instead.

Exquisite.

I can see it now. A modified module that allows to choose if you like a male or female.

Its actually quite a good idea. I have actually known some players to leave realms because of the fact that if you are a male, you have to flirt with Violet or her equal if you changed her name, and if you are female, you have to flirt with Seth or his equal if you changed his name.

Its a wonderful idea.

Just a notice this feature is already built in the custom version of LoTGD
1.2.0+nb Edition onwards. (Oliver Brendel)

Not everyone wants to go to +NB edition though.

This would be a great edition to core I believe. Should I get the time I think i will see if I can modify this into my game as well. I will be first to admit that I do not have the skill in php it would take to do this kind of module. I'm learning, but not all the way there yet.

Toying with it as  a module; it just cannot be done.
The Distress module, the inn, quite a bit actually, would have to be changed(where there is no way to change them). There's a lot of little things which couldn't be. . Pretty sure it got put in to 1.2.0 alpha, though. ^^

sorry for the late reply....
the reason no one wants to go to +NB is because they need to have knowledge on LoTGD and PHP/SQL and know about server administration. Mostly because; your server crashes. DP won't help you then. You move servers... something goes wrong. No help again. No module support too...
**People should note that.

I doubt you can add sexuality through a module........correct me if i'm wrong.

No, what I did was just an option that allows users to show sexuality in their bio. It is only a text thing and does not affect gameplay. A guy cannot go and select that he is Gay, and then start flirting with Seth instead of Violet. Nor vice-versa for the girls.

* Ravencroft feels dizzy from the double quoting...

No, I choose not to go to +NB because I prefer the DP version. I am not perfect with PHP/SQL, but I am comfortable where I am at.

I was looking through to code as well, and I cannot see a way to add sexuality to the game either. I think it would be impossible with a module without breaking a million and two things. And the edits to core would be... tedious.

It cannot be made - the text in the grotto - which is unchangeable - would need to be changed, the distress module, and every other module which references ['sex'] in terms of attraction(which there appears to be quite a few...). If they were like the stables, yeah, it could be done by module, but seeing as how it's put directly down as output, there is no way. =).

It would be tedious, but we all know how 1 and 0 define the sexes. couldnt we add 2 and 3 sexes for Homosexual users? even a 4 for bisexual or even 5 for asexual...

Yes it would be a tedious task of having to change it, but I would be smaller than to revamp 1 and 0. 2 could hook into 0 (male) as male homosexual. 3 into 1 as female homosexual. so these sexes would keep the male/female benefits other than sexual things (violet/seth) which would be edited

May take a while though

Yes now I believe you can't

Egad, no.  Combinatorial explosion is to be avoided -- sexual partner preference should be distinct from gender.  The set of genders [1] determines the possible sexual orientations, but should not be confused with them.

I'd love to see more flexible handling of sexual orientation in the game at some point (it will be an eventual project of mine, I think, unless it is done beforehand).  It needs to be a new piece of data, though, not shoe-horned into the existing gender field because "it's there".


[1] I agree that it need not be limited to only two genders; I have code that extends this for an unfinished personal project, which I hope to release some time before the end of 2010.

Well, yeah correct me if im wrong (which im probably are) could'nt you hook the selection and turn you to a female, but leave the Gender Text (e.g in the bio e.t.c) the same. That way you seem gay, while you are actually a female/male and you get to enjoy the benefits the other gender gets....

 A messy solution to a messy topic...

I now remember that human sexuality is sorta binary so, we really need to figure out how to do this... (base 3? )

[Ravencroft]

I wont quoute it because that was alot of typing but I think Jack, you were saying, set the preferences of a Gay man to view what a female does?

If I'm wrong, then sorry. But I this wont work, seeing as you would be called a She, Her, or Girl at every other turn if you were a gay man (And we don't need that)

And the opposite for a Female who was a lesbian.
