...Leortha pack so would I contact them? I'm assuming that's their username, and I'm guessing I would DM them probably
Yep. Fortunately, Leortha's nick is unchanged, unlike the the one zillion J-men I have to contend with. :cautious:

I've noticed that the function to revert to previous text via mouse-scroll doesn't work anymore after 0.2 version, or is it just me?
Does it not work at all, or does it just not work occasionally? The game has a lot of rollback blocks, so that might be it. If not, have you ruled out the mouse wheel functionality being broken? I.e. can you still use rollback via 'back', but not the mousewheel?

The back button doesn't work either. Do you mind telling me more about the "rollback blocks"? Would be neat if there's a way to bypass it, I accidentally skip text all the time and loading a save 5-10 minutes prior isn't ideal just to be able to read them.

Rollback blocks are manually inserted by the dev into places they deem appropriate, usually just before a major decision, random check or similar. If you cannot roll back anything, it's not them.

Edit: Is the 'back' button actually disabled, or can you still click it but nothing happens? /edit

I am a major user of quicksave (guess who lobbied for the F5/F9 shortcuts :sneaky:), so I haven't really tried it, recently or not. Does anyone else have this problem? If not, maybe you have accidentally disabled rollback somehow?

What does consoling renpy.can_rollback(), config.rollback_enabled, config.rollback_length, config.hard_rollback_limit tell you?

The homepage of the game doesn't work.
The HHS+ site has been dead for a month now. No-one knows why, it just dropped dead one day and nobody has been able to contact the site owner, either. There might be still some slight hope left, but I think it's pretty likely that the forums are gone for good, and possibly Zythen as well. There's been some discussion about this scattered here and in the HHS+ thread.

Thank you, I tried this game a long time ago and I usually download the latest patch from that forum.
Now there is a forum or a web site with the link to the latest patch or are posted only here on F95 forum?

Right now, we're sort of in exile here and the two threads are the only home BK has ATM. Goldo said he'll come back from vacation in May (well, maybe later in May :)) and see about finding a new home. I suppose it all depends a bit on the HHS+ folks, too, since they are facing the same problem and then some.

The game has been updated in the OP. But if you want to have the lastest patch you can find it in Goldo's sig. If you dont want to always search for it you can bookmark the too it will stay the same no matter when it was updated.

First I offer you my humble welcome here for the refugees after there forum went down.

But I got a question. I know there was some sort of mod for this game that was quite large. Is there right now any possibility to access it?

If you mean Trait King, that's available in the packs and mods thread.

If you mean Bonanza, the links are still up. But I'm not putting my mods on F95 any longer (HH gets a temporary pass since it's so tiny). Given that this makes any kind of support impossible for the moment, I don't really know how I feel about sharing these...

renpy.can_rollback() is False
config.rollback_enabled is True
config.rollback_length is 128
and config.hard_rollback_limit is 100.

Something has disabled your rollback mid-game, then.

Does this persist in a new save? Where are you performing this consoling, is it mid-interaction or not?

Try renpy.config.rollback_enabled and renpy.game.log.can_rollback(), too.

Edit: I think the best idea would be to watch the 'back' button and see if it regains functionality at times (during events, dialogue, some of the nightly reports). If so, it's all probably working as intended (i.e. rollback blocks), since BK and rollback don't mix very well. If not, something seems screwed up with your whole rollback checkpoint system.

So I just tried loading an old save (pre 0.2 save, same client), and the rollback works just fine. Also tried the renpy.can_rollback() and it came out as true this time.

Edit: created a new save and got the same result as loading older saves (rollback works and renpy.can_rollback() is true).

Note that renpy.can_rollback() being False is not necessarily an indication of something being wrong. There are lots of places in this game where rollback either doesn't make sense or is counterproductive. The most iconic example being in the middle of the main screen. There's usually nothing to rollback to there.

Still, did you try a new save, got into a dialogue (Gio, training, ended the day) and did rollback return at certain points?

Yes, everything seems to be working fine in a new save, renpy.can_rollback() came up as true too. I'm thinking that something has messed up my main save; and I wish I know what caused it or at least how to fix it. o_O

Given that the rollback system is pretty complex, I'm not sure how one would go about unfixing it once the easy remedies are gone. I for one am definitely not going to try and mess with the internals of the engine so deeply.

I imagine you can try looking for help on the or in the Programming part of the forums here.

I've personally given up on rollback altogether. Not hard, since I was taught in the old school of "fuck up and don't have a recent save, enjoy your misery", so my left hand is always hovering over Ctrl+S/Alt+S/F5, etc. :p It's surprisingly applicable to work environments too, because not all software is bug-free or well-supported.

Your help so far is much appreciated regardless. Also, thank you for bringing the F5/F9 to my attention; that is very useful and I didn't know the game has the function. (y)

renpy.can_rollback() is False
Not that I have much experience with coding Ren'Py rollback, but " renpy.can_rollback() is False" could just mean the save was made soon afer a "block_rollback()" call, and therefore rollback history is not available to rollback function.

You may be able to use rollback with PageUp key in multi-screen dialogs without decisions, even from that save with "False".

Also, OP has updated list of shortcut keys.

If renpy.can_rollback() is False, there's a damn good chance the checkpoints are missing altogether or something else is deeply wrong. You can try, but make a save beforehand and don't expect much.

Also, I doubt PAGEUP will work if the mouswheel does not, given that given that BK still has
Code:
config.keymap['rollback']=['K_PAGEUP', 'repeat_K_PAGEUP', 'K_AC_BACK', 'mousedown_4']

Hello everyone. I enjoyed this game up until I got to the kunoichi minigame. Is there ANYWAY I can skip this minigame? because doing it over and over is starting to honestly get on my nerve and I'm just generally already tired of it. If not I'll happily take any other suggestions.

here you go...

I hate this minigame as well :p thankfully Goldo has thought of us - you can buy an item called "Makibishi" in the shop which lets you auto-win.
