RPGM Aliens in the Backyard [v19.8] [The Dark forest]

[Leprikon01]

I've updated to 19.8, but the crash is still there, sad

How strange. I just downloaded the files from the links on this forum and installed the game on the Nox emulator without any problems, as well as on my Android 12 smartphone.
Perhaps you're trying to update a game you already have installed? Then you need to check both versions of the game. The version marked "old" is an older build and is incompatible with the new version, and vice versa.

No the crash happens specifically on that one conversation with Milena on both 19.7 and 19.8, I played the game on 19.7 originally, and now updated to 19.8(as in I downloaded 19.8 and moved my save folder to it), but the issue remains. I've had a few intermittent crashes before but they would usually be gone with a restart, but that one conversation with Milena in her office simply always gets the game stuck.

Everything else works as it should it just feels bad I can't progress Milena storyline cause the game simply freezes mid conversation.

You people are strange. You find a bug, but you don't report it or send a save file, you just wait. No complaints, so no bug fixes. Make sense?
I found the bug you were complaining about. It will be fixed. In the meantime, to avoid the game freezing, talk to Milena across the table, not to the side.

Give me the save file before the bug.

The slow scrolling text is pissing me off so much. I don't understand why developers don't just add instant text options for dialogues.

I tried writing a plugin to make the text instant which works but somehow bugs the map so nothing is clickable. I tried a few different workarounds and nothing fixed the issue.

Edit:

I got it to work! Simply adding a plugin to to the plugin list would break the map. So the solution is to add it to index.html. If anyone want instant text, Here's what you have to do:

First, place KERF_InstantText.js (extract) to <game>/www/js/plugins/KERF_InstantText.js

Then modify the /www/index.html file to mention this plugin. Place this line:

<script type="text/javascript" src="js/plugins/KERF_InstantText.js"></script>

after plugins.js and before main.js like so

        <script type="text/javascript" src="js/plugins.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="js/plugins/KERF_InstantText.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="js/main.js"></script>
    </body>
</html>

The contents of KERF_InstantText.js (if you don't want to download and unzip):

(function(){
  const _updateShowFast = Window_Message.prototype.updateShowFast;
  Window_Message.prototype.updateShowFast = function(){
    _updateShowFast.call(this);
    this._showFast = true;
    this._lineShowFast = true;
  };
})();

Use at your own risk ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Edit 2: The js file was detected as virus. This is absurd and a false positive. The contents of the file are as above. You can see there's nothing fishy going on.

I won't add this for three reasons:
1. What's the problem with pressing the spacebar to reveal the entire text?
2. There's no guarantee this plugin won't cause additional problems.
3. What about those who prefer text to appear gradually?

I honestly don't mind not adding it, I just wanted it to work for me. I recognize it might cause issues in some scenes (which is why I said use at your own risk).

I just find non-instant text extremely annoying because I read things very quickly, and spamming space doesn't make the text go away nearly quickly enough which gets annoying for repeated dialogue or dialogue I don't care about.

I usually avoid rpgm games because of several annoyance-related reasons including slow dialogues so I'm curious to see how well this will work for others.

Got a question regarding the quest Problems in the college, I just had the scene with the nurse in the infirmary and seeing the bully in a bra, and now I have a question mark above the school but it just says to wait for further developments? what are the next steps?

Edit: Found the problem, turns out I needed to turn up for the second class of the day. Haven't been bothering with them as I noticed that the grade doesn't go above D+ and as long as I attend the morning class it doesn't go down either.

 

[ImTrYin2BeHiDDen]

anyone can share a full save?

 

[EarthTramp]

Ok for real this time, no idea how to progress with the gadget costume and also watching the porn movies with Judith doesn't make any progress either... How do I solve this, all other quest seem to be doing fine.

There are still morning activities with Judith. The continuation with Gadget will come after completing several events with Judith.

Ok well I just realized that the morning quest for her has updated, not sure what I did to make progress on that but I can now touch her breasts, the porn movies still won't make any progress yet but I assume that will happen soon. Thanks for the info.

Same.

I got it to work!

Congratulations! Would've been good to have a solution that can be generalized and applied for any other RPGM-based game though, if you're interested (many of them suffer from that problem). I think it's theoretically possible, given that they are all based on the same Web Standards (that is - early backward-compatible versions for HTML, CSS and JS).

I don't understand why developers don't just add instant text options for dialogues.

I explained it once in another thread, read below.

That's true, nowadays ppl seem to hate everything written in JavaScript for no particular reason, other than the irrational prejudices against the language itself. Hard propaganda imo, to turn ppl to TypeScript and other languages I guess, where there is not possible for a consumer to have such easy arbitrary direct control over the code execution and content.

I tried this with another game (Stay at Home) and it seems to work without any change required. If it's using the js-based RPGM it will probably work, unless a) the game code does unconventional things or b) the RPGM version is much older / much newer, but I can't know for sure.

I'm a developer but I don't make adult games and don't really know how ren'py or RPGM works. I made this 99% with the help of ChatGPT, the main thing I did by myself is figure out how to make it work without bugging the other plugins (by adding it to index.html).

I did later improve it with (not shared yet):

1. Faster transitions in some menus
2. Another add-on for super fast run speed when clicking. Wow was this one helpful.
3. A menu cheat to increase gold. Also helpful but you can already do that with the online RPGM save cheat thing.

So I will, at some point, release this as a general add-on. I can't promise when. I want to make it customizable (turn features on/off etc) and maybe add more features too.

I'm experiencing a bug where Holly will be in the hallway in the morning, blocking me in the mc's bedroom and Holly's bedroom portion of the hallway, and the only way to get rid of her, is by skipping to the evening.
