VN Ren'Py Defending Lydia Collier [v0.16] [White Phantom Games]

[-CookieMonster666-]

MenuButtonPressed isn't an image, it is just a variable in the games code.

It is defaulted on the line I mentioned earlier, and I've double checked the code and it 100% is there, I can't re-default it because two defaults will break the game. So if your version is somehow missing it, download and apply the bug fix, the script file there 100% has the correct default (Google Drive) or open the "script.rpy" file in a text editor (notepad will do) and write "default MenuButtonPressed = False".

turns out "default MenuButtonPressed = False" was in there where it is supposed to be and it's as it should be so I'm not sure what is wrong at this point I've done everything that I would normally do when downloading a game from here but it's seeming like there is a line of code missing somewhere on my end that has gone unnoticed by us both and I'm sorry that things haven't been going right with my game since the update and that I've been taking so much of your time to try and fix things

Dannnnn12345, have you tried UnRen.bat to enable the developer console?

1. Make sure the game is closed.
2. Place the UnRen program in the /game folder and then run it.
3. From the menu in the window that pops up, select option 3, which should enable the developer tools.
4. Close UnRen (hit your Enter key when the next menu shows) and then run DLC again.
5. (If you initially get a message saying something about a renderer and having only a Quit option in the bottom left, just click Quit and then restart again. This may not happen, but just restart if it does.)
6. Press Shift + O to open the developer console.
7. Type simply MenuButtonPressed and hit Enter to see the response.
8. If False (or True, if the value got changed) is the response, the variable exists; if it does not exist, type MenuButtonPressed = False to set the variable.
9. Once the variable is set, hit your Esc key to exit the console.

With the above done, I don't believe this specific variable should be an issue for you going forward.

Can you please attach your save file (can find it here:

You must be registered to see the links

) and I'll look into it in that case. I have no idea how it cannot be found if it is defaulted but I'll take a look and see if I can fix it.

 

[Derpyshanks]

My thinking is so far is-

A) Ellie path we meet her sister and mom for dinner. Probably have a light cheating option for either one and/or finally fuck Ellie.

B) Vanessa path we have the chance to do something nuts like knock up her daughter on her wedding day/night.

C) Stephanie path we possibly hate fuck Marissa or something far worst.

D) Lydia path seems pretty narrow atm but it seems like it'll wrap up after the other paths concluded.

 

[Mamonetti]

Which path might be blocking Vanessa's? So far I've tried to keep as many paths open as possible (not Tanya's) and I haven't got any news from her (appart from the date of the trial) although I told her I wanted to meet again.

I found out the amount of content available thanks to the gallery but nothing during the game. I guess the Gallery & Walkthrough Mod is sort of incomplete from this perspective (obviously I'm talking about the walkthrough).

 

[Finnair]

Can you follow the Steph and Ellie path at the same time ? - or do you play the game through each path ?

 

[Mamonetti]

Ok, based on OP's walkthrough, it looks like you have to choose at some point and pretty much only solo-paths are really available, good to know.

 

[WhatthisISB]

I thought the BugFix would fix it, but I'm still getting them after applying the fix.

Most likely Steph's. If you accept Steph's date while you are jogging, it'll cancel out Vanessa for sure.

It's currently possible to have Ellie and Vanessa's path but they'll butt heads eventually.

shockingly that didn't help either and I can't locate the file WhitePhantom is asking for as I apparently don't have a Renpy Folder on my laptop to help him out

I hope we get this option, Steph is such a slutty kinky sweetheart that doesn't deserved to be treated like shit (mentally and non-consensually) from her psycho ex-gf.

We deserve to go raw on all our kinks into marisa, a whole weekend,
putting all steph has gone through into doind all them kinks to her ex.
That would be marvelous and true revenge.

 

[Echoesinthedarkness]

Am I the only one who wants to see Maryssa and MC playing with Steph? Seems like Maryssa knows a thing or two about properly fucking her up.

Yeah it's one thing I think needs to be handled better : when you leave a path the game acts then like you never had a closer relationship with the girl. When I chose to spent time with Steph instead of Ellie (when a choice occurred) it's like I never fooled around with Ellie although we almost fucked in the office.

 

[Canto Forte]

To be fair, you are not exclusive, even tho Ellie thinks of you as her bf, you never had the gf-bf talk.

Steph accentuates that even further after ,ultiple one offs, that some accomodations will come after they are an item. Steph is still worried you would bolt even after many dates, so there it is.

For Vanessa and Ellie, bringing you into their family is the step to cement your bf status.
As you know, going with Vane on the weekend postphones Ellie family dinner date.

As for Steph .. poor babe ... Her ex is still trying to hurt her and now you even after you move in together.

 

[TSL_JOK4R.]

i see they added the ultimate tag Lol.
is there really incest in the game i played the previous update and there was none ?.

 

[DantesX]

Does anybody has a walkthrough esp for the suspects you have to invesitgate?

 

[DerMelz]

Please. Can anyone tell me why the Game constantly gets an Error and says unable to conform where my Phone connected?

well I'm unzipping your file now so I'm hoping this works out for me this time and thank you Cookie and WhitePhantom for not giving up on trying to fix the mysterious issues with my file

A little note: I saw in your screenshot that you seem to have reinstalled the game under an already installed game - at least that's what it looks like.


This can cause problems if you start the "first" one, because script files might be loaded twice. I would therefore delete all under "Defending Lydia Collier" again (the saved files should be preserved in Windows) and then install the download from CookieMonster666.
