sexlab.yaml not working

[ChonkyMonkey]

I fixed some issues with the sexlab.yaml file, nevertheless my gift still doesnt recognize the log string "SEXLAB - Thread[0] Event Hook - StageStart"

This is the new code:

- Sex Start:
    regex: ".*SEXLAB - ActorAlias\\[{GIFT_ACTOR_NAME}\\] SetActor.*"
    function: sex_start
    group: default
    case_sensitive: False
- Sex End:
    regex: ".*SEXLAB - ActorAlias\\[{GIFT_ACTOR_NAME}\\]  - Resetting!.*"
    function: sex_end
    group: default
    case_sensitive: False
- Sex Stage Start:
    regex: ".*SEXLAB - Thread\\[[0-9]+\\] Event Hook - StageStart.*"
    function: sex_stage_start
- Animation Set:
    regex: ".*OnSexlabAnimationStart\\(boobjob='(.+)', vaginal='(.+)', fisting='(.+)', masturbation='(.+)', anal='(.+)', oral='(.+)'\\).*"
    function: sex_animation_set

I added some \ and replaced a few .+ with .*, nothing major. The devious_devices.yaml is working properly, its just the sexlab.yaml that is not responding. Where could be the issue?

Hey @ChonkyMonkey - You're escaping the escape characters with your added \'s. These are regular expressions. You can use a tool like https://regex101.com/ to help you validate your regular expressions.

I am pretty amateur at this language, thanks for the tool. My expression clearly doesnt match, I was just trying to match the syntax in the "deviousdevices.yaml", since this code is working (even though I dont know what code exactly). I did the double backlash because I chat gpt said sth about yaml interpreters getting rid of one \ (this might be bullshit in hindsight). Than I saw you also using \ in the deviousdevices.yaml and thats why I added them.

But to come back to the issue: I only changed something because the original code wasnt working. So something is clearly wrong, I just dont know if the problem in in the yaml file.

[MinLL]

Yeah. The original is known to work (For both me, and other users); There's likely something wrong with how you have it configured. The first thing that comes to mind would be making sure that your character name is exactly the same in-game, versus how you have it configured in GIFT. Upload a screenshot of your settings.yaml file, and share the output of GIFT during a sexlab scene.

Bro thanks for taking the time, I know you only do this in your free time. This is the settings.yaml:

Here is some of the log, that appears in GIFT:

I think the "[07/15/2023 - 08:58:16PM] SEXLAB - Thread[0] Event Hook - StageStart" line should definitly be recognized

Btw, regarding the log files, whenever I start Skyrim, a new log file appears (Papyrus.1.log, Papyrus.2.log, etc.) I always delete all the files exept Papyrus.0.log (since this is the one I selected in GIFT). Does GIFT auto-detect the latest log file or do I have to keep deleting them?

[ChonkyMonkey]

Just wanted you to know that the problem was infact the character name, thanks for your help!
