discussion On Hold Ren'Py [HS2] When Everything's Red [v0.4] [Fallen Angel Productions and Empty Ears Games Studios]

[BgileMunro]

Hm. Looks like you're missing the Exclusive addon. Which is what addon1 is for.

Huh. Well, thanks for the help. I will try that, although I don't understand why a mod would be required to run the program at all. Got something else I have to do first IRL.

 

[BgileMunro]

I added all the addons and now the game works, although the one where I chose sisters instead of friends seems to have reset itself. Oh well, at least I can play now.

 

[Mr. Tearson]

That's because of the persistent variables. If you downloaded and used the addons in V0.2 and you don't download it for V0.3, it will give you a bunch of errors. Though, if you keep the V0.2, you can use the Update Only version to simply add onto the game instead of downloading it every time because the game size is going to get pretty big. Lol. I did try to make that part a bit easier for everyone.

Persistent Variables are forever. It affects things even in the menu. I'll try to figure out a solution so we don't have to keep going through this and y'all can play the game comfortably. But I can't promise anything as I've never tried doing that with persistent variables before. We'll see.

Instead of doing if persistent.addon_0_installed: and if persistent.addon_1_installed:, you could do if renpy.loadable("addon_0.rpyc"): and if renpy.loadable("addon_1.rpyc"):.

Aye! Thanks so much, mate! I was just trying to figure out a better way to detect the files instead of the variables. Lmao

Now you're goddamn hero in my book. Thank you, really.

 

[Mr. Tearson]

Alright, folks! Thanks to the user, @hrmm , I was able to provide the fix so that if you don't want to keep downloading the addon, you can use this addon_bugfix.rpy I created. Just simply move it to the 'game' folder and you should be golden.

 

[Mr. Tearson]

V0.4 is finally out, folks! Unfortunately, this time, I will be a month or so before I release V0.5. I'll be adding in a Reader's mode for y'all. Don't worry, V0.4 will still be released in 2 weeks to the public.

New map UI (Already released to the public for v0.3)
Standard Characters
Mia & Lisa - 1 scene * Nothing special
Rachel - 1 scene * One nude picture
Amadon - 1 scene * Nude only

Exclusive characters
Lyraja - 1 scene * Nothing special
Melina - 1 scene * Nothing special

 

[Archerleus]

Just caught up. Is pregnancy something that will be implemented for other characters too or is the only content for that with Rachel? If it is with other characters, will this only be for the ending or throughout the game?

 

[Mr. Tearson]

Just caught up. Is pregnancy something that will be implemented for other characters too or is the only content for that with Rachel? If it is with other characters, will this only be for the ending or throughout the game?

Throughout the game. Exclusive, Standard, both "parties" will have pregnancy mid-game. All babes will get pregnant one time, though, but I plan to add quite a few pregnancy sex. After this arc, you'll get to have sex with Rachel and finally get some decent MILF content aside from Amanda. Amanda's going to be a bit redone, though. I hope you enjoyed it and Happy New Year, Mate!

 

[Archerleus]

Looking forward to it, I enjoyed this. I was a little worried when I saw the sandbox tag but you made it feel pretty easy since each place gets marked in red whenever a new event is available, saved me the time of having to check the log for each character's requirements. Thank you for that. I'll be watching your career with great interest. Happy New Year to you!

 

[Mr. Tearson]

Lol. I don't truly care much for sandbox, myself. I want the game to be easy to play and not be forced to go through some kind of point system just to hear the same words over and over before getting to the actual point. Hearing you say this made my day, mate. Thank you.

v0.5 will have a reader's mode so y'all don't have to go through the sandbox crap every time and can just enjoy the story.

 

[DoobieDoobieDoooo]

Does the MC eventually get a grip on himself after the sealed demon scene?

 

[Jellyluve]

I am guessing that we have to start the game over from scratch (Since I am getting a bug when I am trying to open the character/hint book).

I am fine with starting the game over again. The only little gripe I have is (with the age mod) the game doesn't remember the ages that you set for the characters at the front of the game (I mean, there are a lot of characters you have to set ages for each time).

Anyways, good job, (like always) dev.

 

[Mr. Tearson]

Does the MC eventually get a grip on himself after the sealed demon scene?

Somewhat. He'll never be 100% normal but as the game goes on, he'll begin to sound more "human" than a bored man with all the time in his head. There's a new scene with Amadon where she explains a bit on what MC would have to go through.

I am guessing that we have to start the game over from scratch (Since I am getting a bug when I am trying to open the character/hint book).

No. You should not have had to restart the game unless you had the v0.1. If it's still possible, I would like to see this bug/error code you encountered. I need to crush this bug. Lol Same with the age stuff.

I saw that bug as well (journal error), but was able to tell from the exception text that the journal was looking for the exclusive content images in the same place as the non-exclusive ones. I don't still have the game installed, but I fixed the error for myself by copying the journal UI images from the exclusive folder to where the rest of the journal UI images were. That's the hackiest/least useful fix, of course, but that should at least help you track it down to fix it correctly. I didn't encounter the age bug, but I also did the "set everyone's age manually" thing when the age mod was first added, in case that narrows that part down.

Yeah, I am getting this error (shown in the spoiler) I am not getting it while starting over again (which is why I thought old saves didn't work anymore).
(I am using all the 4k versions and using both "Exclusive Content" and "Age Mod" add-ons).

What I meant with all the age stuff is, that the game doesn't remember the ages you put for all the characters the first time you set the ages (which would be nice if it did) since there are so many characters that ages you have to set (when you start a new game again).

Edit. If I use older saves I don't get the error (it is only the more recent saves giving me the error).

Alright. I'll figure something out for this. This really shouldn't be happening. It's like the code is slow to process and doesn't always get it right for some reason.

I'm sorry for the inconveniences and will get it fix for v0.5.

As for the whole age thing... I'll look into it more. That should not be happening, either.

If it matters, I unren every game I play because I like to look at the code, and I know that sometimes plays havoc with file paths when the images are normally in an rpa. If @Jellyluve also unrens, that might point you toward the right direction.

Honestly, the only thing you need with my game is the Developer Console. Game's open source for all to see. Including images. Lol

 

[Mr. Tearson]

Here is a save with the error happening if it can help in any way (I also put my "persistent" file in there as well (just in case)).

Haha. I appreciate it. I know what happened here. Not all the variables involve is following through. The only way I can fix this is by setting up the file path and keep everything the same. What you can do to get around this is by copying the map_ui folder from Exclusive and paste it to images. A bit of a pain but that should work. Just don't remove the original folder as the big bad code will crash the game.
