Nudity mod

[jasonrohrer]

This game has nudity in it. That's an important part of the game, and I'm no friend of censorship. I especially don't want to censor my own work, or build censorship directly into my game. So there will never be a "nudity filter" checkbox built into the game that will be easily accessible to everyone.

However, I do realize that certain video outlets have draconian policies about the depiction of nudity. I do want people to be able to make videos about the game and post them everywhere.

So, I made this mod. It is not an official part of the game, but it can be used by end-users to remove nudity details from the game, by simply making them 100% transparent and thus invisible. After all, as an open source game, people are free to mod the game however they see fit.

Please think carefully before using this mod. It's NOT how the game is intended to be played. Is it really necessary in order to post at your favorite outlet? How likely is your video to be flagged or reported if you show the game in its natural form? After all, this is non-sexual, abstract cartoon nudity on very tiny game characters.


How to install

First, you need to find your game folder on Steam. Right-click the game in your Library to pull up the context menu, and look for Properties at the bottom of that menu. On the Properties screen, you will see a LOCAL FILES tab at the top. In that tab, you will see a button that says BROWSE LOCAL FILES. Click that button to open your game folder. You are now seeing behind the curtain. Your wildest dreams can come true in this folder, but for now, we're talking about how to install this mod.

Next, download the mod and unzip:

http://download6.onehouronelife.com/downloads/nudityMod.zip

Next, copy the contents of the mod's sprites folder into your sprites folder inside your One Hour One LIfe game folder. When asked by your OS, tell it to replace the files. Make sure you copy the .tga files directly. Don't drag the sprites folder itself into the other sprites folder.

Finally, delete the "bin_vXXX_cache.fcz" file from your sprites folder, where XXX will be the latest version number.

That's it. Next time you run the game, the nudity will be gone.

If you ever want to restore the game to its intended form, copy the contents of originalSprites into your game's sprites folder.

I'm actually surprised their isn't just a box you can tick in the game to enable or disable nudity.

this. also wouldnt this be an de-nudity mod? that would be a first on steam i believe

[jasonrohrer]

Don't be surprised. Read what I wrote above. There's a good reason why there's no hide-nudity checkbox in the game itself.

I read it. It's not a very good reason. Censoring your work would be having an unremoveable black bar over all the naked people. Giving your players the option to customize the experience is not the same as censorship.

I appreciate your position on this, though I may not necessairly agree with all the liberties taken in the game. Afterall, it is your vision and it should be done your way, as a creator you have the creative license. I will look into the mod, when and if I need to adapt the game for different audience :)

So is mod support baked into the game? Will there be a editor tool? Thank you for reading.

The game is free open-source software. Your purchase entitles you to an account on the official servers for the lifetime of the game (which to Jason, means his lifetime). You can download the code, build your own server, and play with friends for free. You can even modify code or build your own game with the tools Jason has provided and sell it for a profit; the mobile game is not affiliated with the PC game.

Simple graphics mods can be used on the official servers with no problem; a number of people use Awbz' mod, which allows for a larger field of view and gives you some helpful information (like how many fertile females are left in your line) in a text box.

And yes, there is an editor tool included; Jason uses it to make the game.

Jason doesn't believe in banning people from access to the servers; I don't think a single account has been deleted. Even serial griefers can stay, although there is the curse system and the ability to kill other players, so they tend to have short lives and wind up playing in exile (Donkey Town). Unless they're smart... and we do have some smart griefers. But they add some spice to the humdrum of village life. ;)

Thanks, I will be installing the mod, its not about censorship, its about being family friendly. The videos in the steam store were misleading, as there was no nudity depicted or mentioned (maybe I missed it?)

I have 10 year old kids in the house that take a great interest in your game, and while they understand that males and females have different parts, I was a bit perturbed to find out after installing the game that the character was not only buck naked, but with all the bits hanging out for them to comment on.

The post above mentioning that user experience customization is not the same thing as censorship, that's legit. I can respect your stance on censorship, but I would, for what it's worth, recommend painting a less broad stroke over it.

Personally I wouldn't let 10 year olds play any multiplayer game that had a chat system.

I'd be more worried about things people type/write to each other in the game than very small/non-sexual nudity.

Of course it is possible to run your own server and let them play on that isolated from others.

That's a fair statement, my kids don't play any games like this outside of my or my wife's supervision.

There are naked baby girls in the images and videos in the steam store, but it is harder to see than if they were older or boys, so it is understandable that you missed it. But it was there.
