discussion VN Ren'Py [Koikatsu] Libertine [v0.12a] [Cynist Games]

[cynist]

In regard to the black screens, I poked around in the scripts and discovered that some pictures were treated as sprites with show used instead of scene.

I do use sprites in the images to both reduce the size of the image file size and also to enable multiple movements in the image so it seems less static and more active/alive.

Here's the fixed 0.9d version with the animations restored:

PC:

MAC:

You must be registered to see links

Android:

You must be registered to see links

Appreciate the response, I'll retry downloads. But I have tried the links you provided a few posts back (both mac and win), and the OP links (pc since its updated). 2x for all of them. I'll try again. Thanks.

Ever get it to work? I'm having the same error even with the new 0.9d files

Have you tried restarting the game? As it, beginning from the start? You can skip through to where you were previously. There are times a save can be corrupted.

The files the error is referencing is in the base Ren'py program that comes with all Ren'py games. The error is either in the files you downloaded - which means a corrupted download - or in the save file you are using, which can have any number of reasons why it's happened.

0.9d animations are working again, but when it gets to Mr Adams and Suit chatting on the car I get an exception:

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
ScriptError: could not find label 'chapter10'.

Yeah, there is a small mixup on the code where it is trying to jump to Chapter 10, but there is no chapter 10, so it throws an error. Simply roll back, save, and wait for the next release.

Yeah, I'm starting from a completely fresh game, no saves. Tried downloading multiple times with multiple links (both pc and Mac).

I do get "The application "Libertine' can't be opened." message when I try to open so was starting it through the Ren'Py app. That's when I'm getting the bool error. See the error immediately if I click start or options from the main menu. Tried using both the most recent Ren'Py 7 and 8 version.

I am on Mac and keep running into this error when downloading and trying to open the game.
"The application “Libertine” can’t be opened."
Does anyone here have a fix or am I doing anything wrong?

 

[cynist]

I just did a fresh install of the 0.9d version I just posted. It starts and runs the same as it always has.

If you are trying to overwrite your previous versions, it might be causing an issue with the RPYC files. Try a fresh install without overwriting a previous version.

The only other help I can find online refers to deleting the RPYC files, which is basically the same as doing a fresh, new install. Your saves will transfer, don't worry.

Other than that, I really have no idea what the error could be. I can figure out Ren'py code, but this is base Python code.

    renpy.register_statement('pause',
                              parse=parse_pause,
                              lint=lint_pause,
                              execute=execute_pause)

            if self.true_value is not None:
                if value:
                    value = self.true_value
                else:
                    value = self.false_value

These are the two chunks of code talked about in the error. I have no idea what they actually do. If I could replicate the error, I'd be able to see what I could do about fixing it, but nothing seems to recreate it.

thats because they are sprites. just big ones. renpy doesnt have a concept of actual backgrounds. just 'the image shown first' making it below any shown after. also the scene statements purpose is to HIDE literally everything on a layer (master layer by default). then if you passed it an image, it forwads tht image to the show statement and the show statement handles it. so its literally being 'show'n like every other sprite =)

No same for me. After *many* delete and re-install's, I've given up at this point. Maybe next update will work? I do appreciate Cynist's replying when I first asked about the bug. I can't get it to work. Mac doesn't work, and Renpy (WIN version) when opened immediately gives the exception error/screen. Here's hoping it get's figured out. Game is good, pulls at the heartstrings.

No, sadly no.

There are people working on trying to track down the issue. Some of us are having trouble even replicating the error(s), which is going to prolong any fixes. If someone can figure out where the issue is, please let me know.

why are the sex scenes blacked out?

 

[Chola22]

I skipped two updates and went back to test it, thinking I’d spend like five minutes checking things out, and I was blown away by how much new content there was! What happened with the game’s development? It feels like it evolved exponentially.

why are the sex scenes blacked out?

You likely have the 0.9c version that was missing some animations. They've been restored in the 0.9d version, which was posted a couple of pages back. I don't know if the OP got updated or not. I don't have access to it.

I skipped two updates and went back to test it, thinking I’d spend like five minutes checking things out, and I was blown away by how much new content there was! What happened with the game’s development? It feels like it evolved exponentially.

My free time is chaotic. Up through the middle of May, I was able to spend a lot of time working on my projects without a lot of distractions. The 0.10 version dropped for supporters in early May, then things happened. I've been slowly getting back to work on it lately.

I've just finished writing the 0.11 update (and part of 0.12), and will soon be working on the imaging and animations. I'm hoping to have it done by the end of October, but no guarantees. That would put the 0.10 public release near the end of November or beginning of December.

 

[cynist]

No, sadly no.

I believe the issue has been located. Doing some double-checking and when I get a moment, I will make both a patch and a new full version. It is confirmed that the fix works.

 

[cynist]

Tried both the PC and Mac download, keep getting the same error.

"An exception has orrurred: While running game code: File "renpy/common/000statements.rpy", line 460, in execute_pause execute=execute_pause). File "renpy/common/00action_data.rpy", line 228, in get_selected value = self.false_value. Type Error: 'bool' object is not callable.

Any idea why this is happening?

The bool error was found and corrected. While it will take me a while to be able to compile and upload the new (0.9e) version, I do have a quick patch you can download.

Just download and extract the archive directly into the Libertine 0.9d folder. There should be no warning for overwriting. This will work for PC/Windows, but likely not for MAC. Those on MAC will need to wait for the full version upload. I hope to have it done within 24 hours.

Without spoilers about the story, of course… but do you plan to expand the scope of the narrative to, let’s say, a larger scale of action? I mean in terms of physical space within the game. I’m asking this after these updates introduced all this stuff involving the organization and its scale of operations.

I'm not sure how much will actually be revealed in the end. A lot of it depends on how the story writes itself. I do have some specific thoughts on what will happen. As for the why, that's a little fuzzier.

In the most general sense, I like to have a lot of ambiguity. Things left unsaid. It allows the player to craft their own narrative as to what the background is.

KFL is this universe's version of BlackRock or the Carlyle Group, if that helps.

So pretty much Evil, Inc. Though they seem to care more about performative good works/PR than the fairly reclusive real world companies.
