Ren'Py A Town Uncovered [v0.53a Alpha] [GeeSeki]

[HelpfulSunglasses]

Ok, the infinite loop bug is annoying but not too hard to work around. Don't go to your room, go to the mall and work shifts until night, then the proper scripts trigger. It's not related to the changing rooms, they build up whenever you enter them because they never exit properly. Any error ever will have a massive stack of them in it if you try to go in and get all the different scenes.

I think I've decided what it is that bugs me about this kind of release schedule - they're doing the storyline linearly in each patch, and not running it to any h-scene. The whole sister thing just dead-ends when she bums 50 bucks off you, your teacher dead-ends in the cafeteria, etc. Zones added with no content yet (backyard, police station, office, a second house that's also elfies for some reason). I'd rather have fewer characters that all lead to something then a bunch of shallow unfinished characters. See also: the dozen one-line characters in Summertime Saga. Don't introduce them until they have a purpose.

You need version 0.11b from a few pages back. It fixes that particular issue (there are others though).

how do we trigger Hitomi beach sequence? I've gone there every day at every time each day and she is not there.

Just keep trying. Click away, click back. Last time I looked at the code it was a 19% chance for it to appear.

Is it just me or in the newest update the game shows crash report after I wake up the sister
Any solution about it?

I copies my save game file from the
Alpha 0.09c version
Do I have to start the game from the beginning?

In the first 15 minutes it crashed to desktop twice. Then it threw an error every time I tried to enter Effie's room so I couldn't advance the objective. What a great game.

 

[Zakutsa]

There's a new updated fixed 0.11b version. Go to page 32 and look for @aleejj post. Download links are under the spoilers tag. Don't forget to like his post.

I like this game, really like it's history and art... But, dude... Gee should test his codes more...

It's like they don't test them at all.

 

[popober]

Man, this version's really clunky. I'm kinda itching to finally pop one in Mom, but eh. Guess I could wait for a better version; it's next to impossible to continue with the numerous crashes even with the fixed 11b version.

Also, I wanna ask, is it incredibly "laggy" for anyone else? I've been following this for a while, but a I just remembered asking about it now. I'm surprised a renpy game can run this bad.

That's how cluttered his code is. I tried poking through the script files once and, for the love of me, couldn't understand shit.

Updated OP to 11b.. Near time for me to head out and no time to reup.

Its very.... logical. Scenes are descriptively labeled, and ordered appropriately. The tricky bit is the game is spread across 30+ folders each with a tiny little rpy file for each room and and scenario.

BUT I get the logic behind it. Need to add a scene to a room, you only need to worry about the code in that room. But linking variables and calls while moving between rooms is where it gets a little messy. The most recurrent issue I've seen in this release is missing a numbering call on a scene label.

Sort of akin to organizing your room to make everything easier to find in the future, then fumbling around because everything has moved from where you were used to it being. Better in the long run, but a bitch of a headache in the birthing.

That was how I felt reading through it. I did it mostly for learning purposes, as I'm still trying to get used to ren'py coding. So yeah... Maybe I got lost because of that...

I shouldn't had blamed their coding ability, I'm sorry.

Oh its far from the best I've ever scene, and it has some serious issues because of its organizational method (the laggyness, for example). But after taking a shovel to the mess that is "Family Life (Perestrelo)" my threshold for "bad code" has softened somewhat.

Seriously I still have nightmares about trying to route the variables necessary to proc a scene in that game. The nesting.... the nesting.... (shudder)

 

[Lykanz]

"Family Life (Perestrelo)"

Oh DON'T remind me of this one, please.

The mall bug can be fixed if you feel like unpacking and mucking about in the code. The file is in \game\scenes\mall\retailstore\day\main . It is "retailstore_day.rpy", line 20.

Replace the line:

   imagebutton auto "btn retailstore_day_exit_%s" xpos 0 ypos 0 focus_mask True action Jump("lbl_mall_day_setup_1")

With the following:

imagebutton auto "btn retailstore_day_exit_%s" xpos 0 ypos 0 focus_mask True action Jump("lbl_mall_day_setup")

Its the "_1" that causes the error.
