discussion Abandoned VN Ren'Py DAZ Corrupted Love [v0.10a] [RIC0H]

[hrmm]

If we play the new release. Is there someway to protect the April I currently have in my saves.

I was thinking that I could save the old saves under a new folder/name. If I want to see her part in the game, I then could put them back in the older version of the game where she appeared. Or will this some how break the game?

In order to do this you'll need to:
1. Go to Users\[your-username]\AppData\Roaming\RenPy.
2. Find the CorruptedLove-1634043329 folder and make a copy of it. Rename it to whatever you like.
3. Then in the old version of the game you'll need to open up game\scripts\options.rpy (you might need Unren to unpack an archive/decompile the .rpyc). Scroll down to define config.save_directory = "CorruptedLove-1634043329" and change the CorruptedLove-1634043329 to whatever name you chose for the copied folder.

The script on older versions will be different from the newer versions.
So placing an old version save in a new version game is just going to break the save (as it'll be loading two different scripts and will give rollback errors along with missing/changed labels and vars).

Also if someone manually edits a script, then they would have to do that for all future updates too (otherwise they'd get rollback errors)

That's why the instructions are for making a copy of the save folder and pointing the old version to it; so that they have entirely separate save folders.

That's why the instructions are for making a copy of the save folder and pointing the old version to it; so that they have entirely separate save folders.

But that's not enough though as the var are different (as in Aprils vars are not in the new version).
So loading a save from the old version will break as it won't have the vars in the game files to load.

And again, the scripts are going to be different.

So if a user plays an old versions and saves like this:

mc: "message 1"
mc "message 2"
k "message 1"
mc "message 3"
mc "message 4"
-save-
mc "message 5"

but then loads that save into the newer version that has a script change like:

mc: "message 1"
k "message 1"
mc "message 3"
mc "message 4"
-save-
mc "message 5"

Then they'd get a rollback error as "message 2" has been removed.

The same would happen if dialogue was added just before where the player saved.

The game would go "This script is different to the one I saved, therefore I cannot rollback" and will throw up the rollback error.

(it's why when you play a game with a mod and then load a save without the mod installed it throws a rollback error)

If you want to mod your own game, then the best bet would be to create your own personal patch with label overrides and you can throw the patch in newer updates. Just make sure you put the patch in before playing new updates, otherwise you'd get the rollback error when loading a save from around the time where that patch content takes place.

-edit-
You can test this yourself, just install 0.7G from the old versions > make a save around the April content > do your save location tweak > load the save in the new 0.7 > enjoy your broken save.

Meh, still not worthwhile with that content gone. Pretty much same as typical stuff on F95 now.

If you only played the game to see the 1 character lewd (April), then sure, you're not going to like it going forward.

 

[Triplezzz]

Overall, changes were barely noticeable, which is a good thing. On the flipside, hardly anything new after months. ?‍

 

[daddy-s]

Lewd April will not be in the game going forward and she will not be able to be made a Li.
(she is still in the game, just not lewd.)

The game is going back to how it once was and with the old name too (just without lewd April).

Needs a teasing tag now. Best model, r.i.p

Can I kick her out the house now ?

 

[Hermit76]

I like the replacement of the old Megan rape scenes by the new scenes where she is more active.

But no Apil any more are no good news.

 

[oldfart69]

I think that what I wanted to do has been miss understood by Ricoh, Hrmm's instruction I do believe will work for what I want to do. Or some hybrid of his solution. Did April have a birthday, and MC got a restaurant to cater a party. Then they go to a fair? Or am thinking of another game. If so what release was that?
I am not planning on playing past that with no different save location. I don't know if the scripts from my copies of the game have been replaced by different scripts. If I play my old 7,0version of CL, with a redirected save location and possible new name. Am I not still play the game like it was in April of 2023?

I don't believe I that I would be mixing and matching different scripts or saves from the different version of old way, new way.

And since the new 7.0 does not work with any of the old why didn't you just put in Chapter 1 with all old releases. The New could have been Chapter 2 (or Part !, Part2) with a new save folder and and a set of question to update the old paths in the new game. Similar to how DMD updates going into Chapter 3 and 4.



And thank you for answering my inquiry.

That's in the new version posted on the OP, April is still in the game, just her lewd content was removed.

I'm talking about loading a save from the old version on the old version. The old and new versions use the same save directory, so a player is at risk of deleting/overwriting the old saves if they're not paying attention. oldfart wanted to keep those saves safe for whenever they want to see the April scenes in the old version.

Sure, you could just keep a backup of the old saves, but you'd also need to keep a backup of the new saves since you'd be overwriting them every time you want to play the old version, and you'd also have the hassle of digging to find the folder every time you swap; hence, the instructions for giving the old version a different save directory.

Oh.. I completely misread the situation there, my bad.

The user basically wants a 'stand-alone' version (that future versions will not effect). Then yes, you're right, a save location tweak of the old build version will work for what they require.

 

[tsunku]

I'd call it a new build of an old version.

maybe it's neither, it's a teenaged build...

I guess I didn't give a clear enough description of what I want to accomplish. Glad you understood and explained my goal in a concise way that I was unable to explain. You nailed it on the head of all I am trying to do. I want to keep the old 7.1or what ever save from being over written and or made obsolete. Also I will want to continue following this game.

And again thank you for your help.

Can do that in options.rpy IIRC, change the save directory name in the old game, then move the saves to the new folder, easier that way than changing it in every release for the new one

 

[Corpse]

Time.

It would just take too much time for something so small.
(also the fairground is a PITA to render and I don't want to have to rerender all that again)

After giving it some thought couldn't you easily solve the April problem without rerendering anything?
This isn't reality, you can magically up her age using a genie in a lamp or a fairy godmother, anything really.
Just add it in the story how April is jealous of the affection the other girls get, have her confront the MC about it and have his excuse be she's too young.
Now she has a reason to wish to be older and you won't have to throw away one of the best designed models in the game so far.

 

[User_65561]

April is jealous of the affection the other girls get

She has a few lines of dialogue on 1 of the days and a few scenes on the other.
There's nothing for her to get jealous about
(she doesn't see (or know) that you're "playing" with the other girls)

April is there just for some content filler, doubt I'll add her back in again for future scenes.
(At some point I may even remove her from the character menu and make her name/age non changeable)

 

[Falxy]

Is this still loli now or not? Sounds like at least one model will get the age pill but there's still the loli tag?

No characters are being aged up (sure Holly is slightly taller on Day8, but you can't really notice and will go back to her original size in future renders)
There's no time skip being added either (in case you asked that next).

Game is as it once was, except it does not contain lewd content for the character April.
