NaughtyZOI Early Developments Thread (Erotic Animation Framework for inZOI)

SpiritShard

NaughtyZOI Development is Underway!

NaughtyZOI (N-ZOI) is an Erotic Animation Framework for inZOI based on my previous work for Sugar Cake (Palworld) and Baking For Mara (Oblivion Remastered), using a new generalized framework called Spirit’s Common Mod Library (SCML) that allows development between BFM and N-ZOI for general features while allowing game-specific systems and integrations. At the time of writing, SCML is now functional and used as the base, though there are still features to add to SCML that was never added to BFM before the conversion.

Early example of the Proof of Concept build functioning

Given how early we are in development for N-ZOI, stuff just isn’t ready for a proper release thread. So, instead, we’ll have an early developments thread to discuss and share information about the TEST versions! You can basically treat this as a usual release thread, just not exactly polished or ready for ‘the public’. ^-^

Current Bottlenecks

I’ve identified 3 major bottlenecks at the moment that are going to make progress much slower.

First major bottleneck is no script modding interface (yet) and a lack of community tools for script modding. This basically means I’m not only working to reverse engineer the game, but also needing to figure out and expand my own personal tool-set to deal with situations I’ve never had to deal with before. I’ve tried making a proper UProject set-up to at least make Blueprint modding easier, but have run into a couple issues I’ve not been able to solve, so I’m just doing stuff manually for now (which is very time consuming).
SCML Development is very early in development and will require a lot of feature enhancements, additions, and changes. This means that while I’m working on even the most basic of features for N-ZOI, I’m building future features for SCML that aren’t even ready to utilize within N-ZOI as it’s also used for BFM. (This burns time now, but will save a ton of time later, so it’s worth it)
Limited ‘adult’ modding assets. More specifically, we’re lacking a proper nude male with functional genitals, we’re also obviously lacking animations so for users testing things there’s really nothing to play with. This could be fixed with some community efforts and a proper tutorial, but, of course, that’s also time consuming.

None of these are particularly bad or anything, just the reality of modding something like this so early. However, I’m rather disappointed there’s effectively no community script support resources. (I just assume no one with experience in this has really bothered, and with official script support coming in the future it may seem like a waste of time for many to try and learn it now)

Current Progress Before Proper Release

Implemented :

Custom UI for settings and configuration
Test Widgets to display current status
Full animation player with arbitrary participant counts
Debug control method to start animations arbitrarily
Gender Checking + blocking settings
Age Checking + blocking settings
User configurations
Config saving/loading

Missing and Required

Incest Checking + blocking settings
Persistent character tracking between screens/existences and save/load

Missing but Optional

Start custom tasks (for playing animations)
In-game status effect for libido and naughty status
Simple autonomy system

Note : We could end up with a DEV release (next stage after TEST) before all these are implemented depending on difficulty.

Requirements

You’ll need the inZOI Mod Enabler - https://www.nexusmods.com/inzoi/mods/1 to skip the game’s normal signature checks so we can load our own pak files, circumventing any limitations.
You’ll need the latest experimental version of UE4SS - https://github.com/UE4SS-RE/RE-UE4SS/releases/tag/experimental-latest

NaughtyZOI ReadMe

Debug Controls :

(Debug selects from the center of the screen, may require zooming in/out or changing angle, numbers also work on numbpad)
5 - Clear Debug Targets
6 - Select Object Target to animate on
7 - Select Character Target to animate
8 - Start animation with selected debug targets
9 - Select a character and attempt to stop a playing animation
numpad 2 - Display debug information for Target

Overwrites

Overwrites allow users to easily overwrite/disable certain settings/features by simply including a file with the correct name. These apply before any other configuration loads, allowing them to overwrite behaviors before config files are loaded and bypassing any version restrictions.

Set-up

Overwrites go into (GamePath)/BlueClient/Content/Paks/~Mods/SaveConfig/Overwrites
Save as a file with the appropriate name and preferably without any file extension
Some of these may be configured inside the System Config directly and will take precedent

NeverLoadConfig
Tells N-ZOI to never load or save config files, useful for testing defaults, excluding this overwrite file but including it inside the SystemConfig will allow the config to load but never save

HideTeens
Removes “Teen” age group from N-ZOI’s allowed age groups, removing them from erotic configuration menus

Unrestricted Version Only

AllowAllAgeGroups
Adds all age groups to N-ZOI’s allowed age groups, bypassing age guards and allowing them to be configured

NaughtyZOI uv0.0.2 TEST

Finally, a new test version! I went way overboard on feature additions here in-between test builds, so there’s a lot new here! We got proper Gender/SEquip checking, Age detection, Configuration Saving/Loading with a ton of options already, and a bunch of feature additions for SCML and stuff prepared for the future on the back-end. There’s still some requirements before we can release a proper DEV version, but I got a lot closer with this build that I thought I would! =^-^=

I’ve merged uiZUI and the test anim with this version of N-ZOI, you can remove the old proof of concept files, some directory names have changed so the old one shouldn’t load anyways unless you fix the path. You’ll also need the newest experimental build of UE4SS to have this work, if you tried the previous test version you may need to update UE4SS.

Note : There will be 2 versions of NaughtyZOI from this point forward, though most TEST versions will just be of one version. A proper “Unlocked” versions without any restrictions (that’s what the ‘uv#’ is in the file name), and a restricted version to release on platforms with stricter rules.

Both versions will be completely FREE and never require payment to access! This is to simply comply with certain platform rules. (I put in a lot of effort in making sure this new restrictions system is actually maintainable, unlike previous systems I’ve tried in the past. >.<) Any restriction removals will be completely optional and both versions should function the same when configured with default settings.

NaughtyZOI uv0_0_2 TEST.7z

Change-logs

NaughtyZOI 0.0.2 TEST

Configurate :

Changed Anim Config directory to now be called AnimConfig (was AnimJSON)

Added N-ZOI configuration saving/loading

Config files will save to/load from (GamePath)/BlueClient/Content/Paks/~Mods/SaveConfig

Added support for an overwrite directory for easily overwriting some internal behaviors

Overwrites allow loading and modifying some configuration before N-ZOI initializes

Overwrites currently load from the SaveConfig/Overwrites folder

Added “NeverLoadConfig” which causes N-ZOI to ignore config loading/saving

Added HideTeens which removes Teens from N-ZOI’s allowed age groups

Added BodyAgeType to AnimSet in AnimConfig in-case inZOI/Mods add new BodyAgeTypes

Added Initial Configuration menu that pops up if no configuration file is found

Game Integrations :

Added in-game body type checking to apply proper SEquip Tags for compatibility checking

inZOI currently only has Male/Female for body genders

Male has mouth,anus,penis by default

Female has mouth,anus,breasts,vagina by default

Added “Game-Time” conversion method for later use (Currently not implemented by the framework)

Interface :

Fixed pleasure meter not re-appearing if a character had already been in an animation previously

Also fixed the UI element getting stuck in memory, this fix properly de-references the meter

SCML_Anim :

Updated SCML_Anim to 0.0.8 (See SCML Changelog)

Unrestricted Version :

Added Overwrite AllowAllAgeGroups which adds all age groups to N-ZOI’s allowed age groups

Added Overwrite menu to the configuration menu that allows setting overwrites within the config file

Note that setting ConfigNeverLoad will cause the config file to not save, as such, this can only be put into the save file manually (is handy if you don’t want to save changes you made that session though)

uiZUI 0.0.3 TEST

Updated SCML / SCML_UI to 0.0.8 (See SCML Changelog)

Spirit’s Common Mod Library 0.0.8

Notes :

Fixed some JSON builder errors, may need to clear SystemConfig files

SCML :

Added SCML_CPP_DoesFileExist to SCML_CPP_FunctionLibrary which returns if the given file (as file path) exists

SCML_Anim :

Fixed some mis-named variables

Added a FoundConfigOnLoad check and variable that checks if the default profile was present

Can be used to detect if this is the first run after install or check if the config was nuked for whatever reason

Fixed JSON Builder for save parameters breaking when trying to save any array format entries (would add extra quotes)

Fixed AnimSet not properly applying Emotion Defaults when no emotion is defined in an AnimConfig

SCML_UI :

Fixed exiting a menu by going ‘back’ on the last open menu not sending the proper ‘closed menu’ event

Altered Text Format handling to include more variables

SCML_Anim Backend:

SCML_Anim_AnimSet/AnimStage now stores a reference to the AnimCore for more flexibility and portability

DataMap parsing logic moved to the respective object with InputDataMap function

Removed respective “FillFromDataMap” functions, replace logic with InputDataMap

Affects AnimSet, AnimSlot, AnimStage, AnimEvent

Changed SCML_Anim_iCreateAnimSlotFromDataMap so SourceFile/PackName/PackAuthor is now part of the DataMap, removing the dedicated input variables

Spirit’s Common Mod Library 0.0.7

Notes :

Starting to log backend changes, marked as “Backend”, which should be excluded from SCML implementation changelogs (ex. Game Layers)

SCML :

Added a “Subtract” bool to SCML_IncrementInteger and SCML_IncrementFloat

Applies subtractions rather than addition, useful as a shortcut so you don’t have to flip negatives manually working with bool conditions

Added SCML_CPP_SaveFile to CPP Function Library with related C++ functions

Takes a Path, FileName, and Contents as strings and attempts to save the file

Added SCML_ReverseArrayFromRange to SCML_FunctionLibrary which takes an integer array and reverses the order of the given index range

Works by-reference and uses the array swap function so scales well and is memory efficient

Added SCML_NextPermutation to SCML_FunctionLibrary which finds the next permutation (starting from a sorted integer array) of an integer array

Works by-reference and works entirely in Blueprints for use without C++ modding or special casting required

Use associated array methods for non-integer arrays

Returns valid if next permutation is found, otherwise returns false, will return false if the array returns to its original assumed sorted state (Can loop from a sorted array till returning false to get all permutations, though other calculation methods may be faster for getting all possible permutations)

Compared to manually calculating all possibilities, this allows permutation calculations to be on an ‘as needed’ basis

SCML_UI :

Added a custom ‘slider step’ function to make the slider much more smooth when using the mouse

Unreal’s mouse slider step only allows 1 step per-frame, this custom one dynamically calculates for any number of steps

Fixed slider boxes behaving strangely with left/right select when values include decimal points

Values for the slider will now always try and update in alignment to SliderStep, adjusting for both precision errors and potentially mis-aligned set commands

Note that very very small or very very large numbers with small steps may still act strangely just do to float precision errors

SCML_Anim :

Added System Config saving and loading

Added all currently configurable settings into the file saving/loading system

Only tries to save settings that have been changed, can delete the profile to reset everything to defaults

Removed unused config settings, will re-implement with the systems they are attached to

Added all currently configurable options to the menu (There’s a lot X.x)

Fixed “PleasureForCloseOrgasm” not working as a proper percentage but a fixed value

Changed the slider bar visuals so the setting text over the slider is easier to read

Removed AddSEquip from the AnimSet parameter and object

When updating the compatibility checker, this was causing exponential performance cost within the compatibility checker while offering very little utility

A replacement method for this is to simply define another AnimSlot with the correct SEquips

SCML_UI Backend:

Added “Close” to CallSwitch Enum

Added “SCML_UI_InputCallback” Enum for different input return types

Is just a utility function; Use InputNameToEnum Function to actually use

Added “CalcSliderMax” utility function, calculates a max slider value based on the input slider value and increments

Useful for slider values that don’t need to be capped, use when SliderMax is returned as input to expand the slider max value

SCML_Anim Backend :

Handler now requires SCML_UI_Core and SCML_Anim_Core reference on creation, add to interface getter function for the handler

Added dedicated Data Container object, SCML_Anim_DataContainer, to store and manipulate saved/configured/persist data

Added SCML_Anim_iCreateDefaultDataContainer Game Layer Interface function to get a new Defaulted Data Container

Added SCML_Anim_iGetMainDataContainer Game Layer Interface function to get the currently used Data Container

Moved all ‘Config’ values into this new data object, updating references and functions where applicable

Created ‘Change/Add/Remove’ functions for config values which should be used instead of direct manipulation of values

Added Game Layer functions for System Config saving/loading, SCML_Anim_iSaveSystemConfigProfile and SCML_Anim_iLoadSystemConfigProfile
