Ren'Py Another Chance [v1.52] [TimeWizardStudios]

[Eroce2213]

sorry if this is a bad question but how do you change time in the game? Where is the time button?

I don't find it interesting, it's just common code.

You can tell when function is called inside screen.
"_".join(getattr(renpy.current_screen.current(), 'screen_name', ()))
For example in menu above code will return "choice".
Outside screen above code will return empty string.

But using __str__ method of ADVCharacter is a pitfall.
I mean you need to deal with text not a variable.
It's only convenient that the text uses a variable.

Btw I have done .

No, there's nothing particularly remarkable here. It uses (well, adapts) your suggestion from this comment; that's all I meant by that.

(Also the changelog had some detritus in it from v3.0, when I thought that suggestion wasn't usable. I've fixed that; sorry if it was misleading.)

I'm not sure what you're trying to say here?

I played this when it first released, back when some dude said you don't name a beta version as v.1 or something. I don't exactly remember WHEN i played it, but judging by the amount of comments on this thread, people don't seem to be happy on the sex aspect of the game. I haven't played the latest release yet, is it bad? Has the game become an eroge instead of the typical 'games with lots of sex' thing?

But using __str__ method of ADVCharacter is a pitfall.

It works only in text with character variable.
In python2 it requires extra work to work.
So I mean I think it's a wrong direction.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say here?

I was exposed to more text patches now, and I can say that your previous version was more appropriate.
I mean I think using regex and replacing part(if can match) or whole(if cannot match) text is the way to go.
The only issue is that say_menu_text_filter doesn't cover screens.

Would need to find a method to replace text of say, menu and screen in one place.
And since we know now how to detect say, menu or screen; it should be doable.

Since we finally have new Flora content, I've taken some time to replay the game and update . It's been completely reimplemented in ways that only Ren'Py modders will find interesting (hi, ZLZK!). Everyone else will be more interested in the fact that it also replaces some UI-only instances of "Jo", and tweaks a few dialogue fragments (like the one occurrence of "roommate").

I've tested it extensively against v1.36, but it should work with previous versions back to at least v1.14, and with future versions indefinitely.

I tried this patch out. It's great but one major problem is the is breaks the gallery replay feature. Only Mom/Jo scenes appear in the gallery at all. (at first I thought that was just part of the game but I realized nobody else had that problem and found out it was caused by the ipatch.)

I was able to remedy this by deleting this section of the patch:

def fixup_replays():
global replays_by_order
replays_by_order = [
(a, title.replace("Jo","Mom"), c, d)
for (a, title, c, d) in replays_by_order
if title.startswith("Jo's ")
]
fixup_replays()


This of course also removed the text changes in the gallery but it was well worth it to have it functioning again. I didn't see anyone talking about this issue (it took me awhile to figure out it was caused by the ipatch), so I apologize if you were already aware of this.

You can tell when function is called inside screen.
"_".join(getattr(renpy.current_screen.current(), 'screen_name', ()))

It's "_".join(getattr(renpy.current_screen(), 'screen_name', ())) instead.

Would need to find a method to replace text of say, menu and screen in one place.
And since we know now how to detect say, menu or screen; it should be doable.

Apparently almost all of displayed text goes through renpy.translation.translate_string function.
So you can probably monkey patch it, and make patch for say, menu and screen from it.

breaks the gallery replay feature

Line below causes it.
if title.startswith("Jo's ")

That's why regex is better, you can match "Jo's " and replace only "Jo".
I guess you could as well do: title.replace("Jo's ", "Mom's ")

Thanks for the report, and excuse me while I die of embarrassment. That was a complete brain-fart on my part, and I can plead only that I no longer write Python for a living. Fixed in v3.2 (just uploaded).

It works only in text with character variable.

Ah. You are suggesting that, in order to avoid manually "translating" the quest and gallery strings, I should wait until all context has been stripped from the text, then try to reconstruct the context from the bare string and the state of various global variables.

Absolutely not, for more reasons than I care to discuss here.

Well in that case, either your specific set of character interactions and cleared quests has led you to a "version" of Wicked Game I've never seen where the solution is different from the ones I thought were the default, or the quest bugged out. Every time I've gone through that quest (light spoiler for the usual solutions)

. The situation you are in where apparently the Nurse isn't there at all is something I haven't encountered.

if anyone knows the flag that makes the nurse come up in this quest, i'd be highly appreciative

people say that this game is script hell, but it's more in the sense that most quests branch so differently from each other it's hard to make all paths correlate to each other...

 

[tormel]

This game indulges much, the story quite okay for me, but with how timing and days work, it turns to quite a chore

 

[gunman19]

I enjoyed the game so far. Really nice nostalgic vibes to it and it's not just about the seggs. Great art even in the backgrounds and a lot of effort has been put into the scripting and branching. Though, it was a little weird how easy it is to suddenly end up doing the deed with almost every single female available even if you try to be loyal, though I don't think there is any penalty for that yet.

 

[nothingreallymattress]

if anyone knows the flag that makes the nurse come up in this quest, i'd be highly appreciative

From characters/nurse/nurse.rpy:55-56:

             if quest.kate_wicked == "costume" and not quest.kate_wicked["own_costume"]:
                 self.alternative_locations["school_ground_floor_west"] = "standing"

Which is also exactly the condition for the box appearing (locations/school/ground_floor_west/ground_floor_west.rpy:119-120), so the box should never be there without the nurse. Unfortunately, if you're also in some phase of another quest (like "Venting Frustration") which blocks the nurse from appearing, that will take precedence. (See lines 66-77 in nurse.rpy.)

For simplicity's sake, the quickest way around the bug is probably to stick a return after the above two lines (but still under the if). For verisimilitude's sake, they're probably just going to have to rewrite that part of the quest to handle the "nurse is unavailable" case.

hey can someone answer a question for me please. i dropped this game a while back bc i got annoyed that i had to reload a save twice so that i didnt get locked out of certain content. iirc it was for the nurse and sister. is there a lot more scenarios like that, where if u dont dont a certain thing before progressing with a character then a dialogue option could be locked? and is the dev still adding stuff like that?
