Changelog

- Added: DD Gag Expressions revamp by ihatemykite: Gag expressions now longer overwrite other expressions, The new feature only edits phonemes, without touching other expression nodes. In case that there is call to apply an expression with a lower priority than the currently applied expression, the higher priority one will be kept. Modders will not need to check if the expression should be applied at all. Gags should also get fitted to different body/head shapes much better.

- Added: Vibration Patch by DeWired: The MCM Vibrate Volume sliders have been split for NPCs and for player. It will make VibrateEffect use different volumes for player and NPCs depending in MCM settings. This way, the player can have e.g. have vibrations silenced while 

- Added: Red, White, and Black variants of the chastity belt, chastity bra, arm cuffs, leg cuffs, posture and normal collars. Devices come in regular and "lustrous" versions. 36 new items in total. Includes beast versions of applicable items. Also exposed to API and levelled lists. 18 new items in total.

- Added: New ebonite and leather muzzle gags in black, white, red and pink versions, contributed by Audhol. 8 new devices in total

- Added: Collar-less harnesses by UnevenSteven! These cover the chastity and non-chastity (crotchless) versions. All materials and all color variants included.

- Added: New Catsuit Boots by UnevenSteven

- Added: Unblocked plugs (e.g. plugs not locked inside a chastity belt) are now automatically hidden by the animation filter, which will allow more regular SLAL animations to play.

- Added: Box armbinder by noone102000 (@Deviant Art)

- Added: Box armbinder outfit mashup by Raccoonity.

- Added: The Devious Dagger heels by DoubleZero have been added as a DD device. Integration by UnevenSteven.

- Added: Assigned suitable struggle animations to every device that lacked one, except for the petsuits.

- Added: Created and assigned world models for several transparent items that lacked them

- Added: New ground models for the zipsuit and the matching heels, created by @audhol

- Added: The zad_ExposedBreasts keyword has been added to appropriate devices: Open Straitjackets, Open Hobble Dresses, Rope Harnesses, Breast Yoke.

- Added: New keyword zad_BlockGenericEvents that can be put on a rendered device to signal DD not to play device events for this device.

- Added: New keyword zad_ExposedBreasts that can be used on the rendered device of body restraints (zad_DeviousSuit) to signal to any interested mod that this device leaves the breasts uncovered. NOTE: I did NOT yet assign this keyword to DDX devices requiring it. This will happen in a later version.

- Added: New API function zadlibs.HasBreastsExposed(Actor a) to determine whether a given actor's breasts are exposed. E.g. wearing no armor at all, or armor tagged with the zad_ExposedBreasts keyword.

- Added: Bodyslide-able armbinder for CBBE, by NIND.

- Added: Wooden Yoke. (Wearable variant of the Contraptions one)

- Added: Open variants of the Golden and Silver Chastity Belts.

- Added: The Rubber Sound system now has a MCM control allowing users to set the frequency the sounds are being played at. It defaults to "Never".

- Added: Restrictive Transparent Gloves (contributed by Audhol), to complete the transparent set.

- Added: 3 new Petsuit animations (struggle, horny, orgasm) contributed by iivanvv.

- Added: Struggle animations to the steel open-back chastity belt, the newly added "lustrous" items and the transparent catsuit

- Added: Open-back variants of the "lustrous" chastity belts, also added them to the appropriate levelled list

- Added: New device message for all chastity corsets that mentions that they are unlocked by chastity keys

- Added: Device records for a previously unused rope harness model, in all four color variants.

- Added: Appropriate devices messages for all rope arm- and leg cuffs

- Added: Catsuit event. This event triggers when anything with the keyword 'suit' is worn and has 'Cat' in the name (cat suit and catsuit both work). The event is also weather sensitive (e.g. rain vs sun)

- Changed: Lots and lots of cleaned Bodyslide files by UnevenSteven

- Changed: Catsuit Gloves, no longer have cuffs and now cover part of the forearms, so no more invisible wrists when worn without a catsuit

- Changed: The animation filter now first tries to remove just the problematic animations from the originally used selection. If this doesn't work, the filter will select from all available animations as a fallback.

- Changed: When the "Manipulate Locks" feature is enabled, trying to remove bondage mittens no longer carries a chance to drop the device key.

- Changed: Chances to successfully unlock yourself when wearing bondage mittens or losing the key on failed attempts to do so, are no longer hardcoded. They are now properties on the bondage mittens script and can be configured by the device creator.

- Changed: The Posture collar event now recognizes more posture collars other than just the DDA one.

- Changed: The "white metal" buckles and locks on catsuit devices have been changed to resemble other metal locks and buckles from other devices.

- Changed: Contraptions: The mod now respects the DD-wide toggle for device manipulation. Option to manipulate the locks is no longer offered when the feature is disabled in MCM.

- Changed: The DD MCM logo had the obsolete "Integration" label removed.

- Changed: The Device Hider doesn't make annoying noises anymore!

- Changed: StartValidDDAnimation() is now temporarily removing plugs from actors when they are not blocked by a chastity belt, so their presence will not block sex animations.

- Changed: The animation filter now hides devices much more aggressively if no valid animations can be found. This should prevent animations getting split up and/or actors being moved to solo animations in most cases.

- Changed: The animation filter can now hide plugs as another fallback when trying to set up a valid animation. The filter will still try to hide chastity belts first.

- Changed: zadlibs.HasBreastsExposed(Actor a) now checks for the keyword on all devices worn by the actor and not just on the worn chest armor.

- Changed: Added a lock the Steel Posture Collar.

- Changed: Optimizations for the FOMOD installer by CG!.

- Changed: Extracted Beast Race Refit BSA to avoid stability issues.

- Changed: Optimized textures. All textures now use 2K resolution.

- Changed: Added German (by CG!) and Russian (by stas2503) MCM localization.

- Changed: The Zipper Lock on catsuits is now Zap-able in BodySlide so people can hide the lock if they don't like it.

- Changed: Updated Pony Boot textures by neghthraw.

- Changed: Several gloves and boots have been changed to hopefully diminish clipping when worn with catsuits or birthday suits.

- Changed: Added cuffs to the Restrictive Boots

- Changed: Slight overhaul to the appearance of the ankle shackles, to have their looks match their names.

- Changed: The shock plugs on-screen message got shortened and no longer requires two lines to display.

- Changed: With the inclusion of a proper world object for the zipsuit and its matching heels, the stand-in "box" objects have been removed from the archive.

- Changed: Adjusted device messages for rope restraints, so now rope gags, blindfolds, armbinders and harnesses will all be properly referred to as such, and there will be no more mention of keys where they aren't applicable. "Unlock" options were changed to "Untie", and "Lock" options were changed to "Tie", consistently accross all rope restraint items.

- Changed: Added the full body rope restraints to the new zad_dev_suits_hobbledresses_rope levelled list. It is nested inside the zad_dev_suits_hobbledresses levelled list.

- Changed: Reworked device hider. It should from now on hide only Devious Devices, not third party armor using DD slots. It should also update faster now.

- Changed: Updated Dark fog blindfold effect and made it more ENB friendly.
