VN Ren'Py Artemis [v0.6.2b] [digi.B]

[5mithers]

I know it's probably "old code" but there are a lot of exception errors in the ch2_sdcards.rpy file. I keep having to click ignore.

I don't seen any obvious differences in the code between ch1_sdcards.rpy and ch2_sdcards.rpy that would cause the errors. It's only super frustrating because as long as the sd card is on screen, you miss any dialog happening. You have to ignore every interaction until the sd card is gone.

digi.B: I figured out this error. Took me longer than I care to admit. Because there is an obvious difference in the ch1 and ch2 code, but I missed it yesterday.

And that is the the extra if/else wrapper around the increment command for steam achievements.

Chapter 1 SD card code (functional in the f95 variant of the game):

            focus_mask True
            if not steambuild:
                action [Hide ("ch1_junesd_01"),SetField(persistent,"ch1_sdcard_june_1", True),Show("dlbonusunlocked")]
            else:
                action [Hide ("ch1_junesd_01"),SetField(persistent,"ch1_sdcard_june_1", True),SetVariable("persistent.AAB1_23", persistent.AAB1_23 + 1),Function(steamaa23),Show("dlbonusunlocked")]

Chapter 2 SD card code (non-functional in the f95 variant of the game):

            focus_mask True
            action [Hide ("ch2_kindrasd_01"),SetField(persistent,"ch2_sdcard_kindra_1", True),SetVariable("persistent.AAB1_23", persistent.AAB1_23 + 1),Function(steamaa23), Show("dlbonusunlocked")]

I know the non-steam build is probably not your focus, but it is unfortunate that every scene from ch2-ch4 that has an SD card in it is broken. ch5 completely foregoes the steam bonuses/achievement unlock. (Not sure if that's because WIP, or on purpose.)

Anyway, summary of the variants in the codebase below:

# Chapter 1 if/else wrapper:
# ---------------------------------------
            focus_mask True
            if not steambuild:
                action [Hide ("ch1_kindrasd_01"),SetField(persistent,"ch1_sdcard_kindra_1", True),Show("dlbonusunlocked")]
            else:
                action [Hide ("ch1_kindrasd_01"),SetField(persistent,"ch1_sdcard_kindra_1", True),SetVariable("persistent.AAB1_23", persistent.AAB1_23 + 1), Function(steamaa23), Show("dlbonusunlocked")]


# Chapter 2 steam only:
# ---------------------------------------
            focus_mask True
            action [Hide ("ch2_kindrasd_01"),SetField(persistent,"ch2_sdcard_kindra_1", True),SetVariable("persistent.AAB1_23", persistent.AAB1_23 + 1),Function(steamaa23), Show("dlbonusunlocked")]


# Chapter 3 steam only:
# ---------------------------------------
            focus_mask True
            action [Hide ("ch3_artemissd_01"),SetField(persistent,"ch3_sdcard_artemis_1", True),SetVariable("persistent.AAB1_23", persistent.AAB1_23 + 1),Function(steamaa23),Show("dlbonusunlocked")]
         

# Chapter 4 steam only:
# ---------------------------------------
            focus_mask True
            action [Hide ("ch4_dksd_01"),SetField(persistent,"ch4_sdcard_dk_1", True),SetVariable("persistent.AAB1_23", persistent.AAB1_23 + 1),Function(steamaa23), Show("dlbonusunlocked")]


# Chapter 5 non-steam only:
# ---------------------------------------
            focus_mask True
            action [Hide ("ch5_vsd_01"),SetField(persistent,"ch5_sdcard_v_1", True), Show("dlbonusunlocked")]

*Edit: sisco1986 : A workaround for now is to simply set the steam variable in the console in the game prior to chapter 2 to any integer. It then happily increments the integer going forward, allowing for the scenes to be played.

Open the console in game (Shift+O), then type: persistent.AAB1_23=1

Prior to doing so, with the first ch2 SD card scene you get this:




After setting the variable, you get the next image as expected, with the SD card showing:

I'd say great update so far, however Paige market hangout has this weird AI? filter, like its trying to be breach into realism. It looks ugly as hell imo, hope its not coming up again, there just something really off putting with it.

 

[triple_aaa]

I love this game, but what a buggy mess.

Is this true? Been waiting for this update or maybe I should wait for the bugfixes. Shouldn't be too long for them fixes right?

 

[Scooter_Tramp]

I see sex with Reina in the gallery but my date didn't end that way even though Reina was mulling over possible sex with MC???

There is an easy fix just 2 posts up.

Hold on, just cause i was nice and drove some girl to airport a year ago, now i cant get my dick wet?
In a linear game all these pseudo split paths where you decide your girl, should come online as late as possible, not years in advance, other wise you just deny the player some fap material. By the end of the game, once you got to know every LI, you can make a that choice. Holding Ctrl, scratching your head through free roam, trying to remember every choice you made through the years, just to see 1 additional scene and read some dialogue variation is no bueno.
Also veronica isnt even unlocked for me even tho i had a date at her place.

the game hasn't been linear since ep1 when you had to choose between katy and zoe

That changes nothing in the story outside few renders, its still a linear game.

Depends on your choices....my first run on a save got me Paige June Kindra and Reina....
For chapter 6

On one single run??? How'd you even manage to pull that off? Had to replay the game from the beginning to get the Paige scene. That took a while.

Also, any idea how to unlock the June scene for this ch? DO I need to avoid other girls or do something specific beforehand?

 

[ZzZzZiggy]

This bug happened to me on my first run, but then on my run last night in the exact same scene it didn't. Not really sure why that is. Also I think the scenes are June, Reina, Paige, Kindra and Katy I think, though I haven't got that one yet as Reina's date blocks Katy's scene it seems.

Any tips on getting the June scene? I tried with both of her previous scenes unlocked but no dice

I got it after using a walkthrough to get maximum points with her. Try using the scrappy multi-mod in the OP.

Ah, man. Trying to avoid mods. Don't wanna break anything. Thanks, though!

Oh one more thing: does that scene take place in the cafe or after?

Like I said I got it after following a walkthrough, so you can try that also if you don't want to use a mod. The scene is a part of that particular date, it's not at the cafe but at the end of the date the MC gets the option to invite her back to his place.
It's easy to miss some points with June, sometimes she prefers a funny choice to a flirty one.

June and Kindra are easy, unless your making some off the wall choices with either
you should have NP with them. Paige unlocks as long as you don't date Zelda and
Reina if you make the call instead of Kindra about the business. Doesn't matter who you date, June is your bestie!

Do i have to start from beginning? It seems im missing bunch of Veronica variables from chapter 5 like vdatenight and vspicy and cant seem to find them, are they tied to mini games?

To get things going with V you have to of course look at her butt in the fuck stick store
and say you like cam girls. Later the date will come up, answer right concerning the
A.I. talk and as far as the mini game not sure if you need to beat it but I always did

Tnx.
Now im not sure i checked her out in sex shop was it? But i did get her date in apartment, none of those variables came up, did have AI talk as well during date, guess ill try replay it some day.

 

[The Pull Out King]

Between this update adding the awesome directional keys based fighting system to it, and having just spent a lot of time playing Brawler in the most recent Being a DIK update, I'm addicted to that sort of shit now lol are there bigger titles that use a timed particular input to fight or whatever?

Yeah you best bet is a walkthrough to make sure or the mod from scrappy.
The mod is easier but of course it breaks the game when ever there's an update.
Scrappy is fast but he now has a 3 day wait unless your a sub.{think it's $2.50 to sub}
Unless someone puts up a link{this is a pirate site after all lol!}

Veronica is so sexy yet goofy at the same time, I love her.
