Thats a hopeful date, for when a worthy successor to AA2 will come out. Just like us, old timers, waiting for Valve to learn to count to 3 in the past ~20 years.
For a non-old timer who got interested in the game, is there a good "getting started" guide? I read yours and it helped me understand the basic concepts better, but I'm currently struggling with something even more basic, the UI... Feel I'm just clicking around, sometimes managing to do things I can't repeat afterwards. After putting some effort into making the game work, not afraid to read a bit more, just can't find something that directly addresses things like game controls. From what I read, you can (should?) even have the editor open while playing and use it as part of the gameplay process? Not asking for handholding, just any help finding relevant information already posted would be great. Thanks!

Well, since youve read my guide, i assume you know what the interaction tabs do. Ive described them thoroughly in my guide, so refer to that.

Now... if youre mentioning me telling people to go to QtEdit - if you want to play the game optimally, thats what you have to do. And, as ive stated, you need to learn to read it. Not much to it, though:

Gotta be patient. If youre not grasping whats going on - re-read my guide and just play the game without QtEdit viewings. A couple rough bumps should give you an idea of whats going on. Also - the jizhou statue will give you hints as to how high/low LLDH is. I think the wiki has info on that...

White Knights will automatically intervene if they see someone being raped. To influence them to go after someone by spreading bad rumors requires that they have a high opinion of you, and a low opinion of the person you're spreading the rumor about, and then there's still a possible element of randomness to it. The response you're getting means they don't like/love you enough to care. You'll have to increase your relationship with them first.
That was why I asked actually as the white knight card did have high relationship and was at angel favorability towards the pc. After looking at the card that they wouldn't go after in editor I noticed that it had a ton global variables despite only having a few modules on it and after deleting those global variables the white knight card behaved like normal.

Without knowing what the card is and what the modules/globals are, it's hard to say what the problem was. Some other module or possibly a loose trigger might have been preventing the interaction. Deleting a bunch of globals without knowing what they are might not be the best idea though. Unused globals wouldn't have had any impact, so you've probably removed globals belonging to a still active module/trigger.

I removed all the modules first before I deleted the globals and then re-added them, that shouldn't affect anything should it?

No, the modules would have re-added the necessary globals as you added them back to the card. But I'm certain why that would have fixed things either. Do you see any loose triggers in the Triggers tab not belonging to a module?

The only one it had that wasn't attached to a module was this one which I had removed while I was removing everything from the card. This is the card , I did remove some more annoying modules like dark semen and diva that it had before I added it to the class so maybe that caused it?

Slightly unrelated but I also noticed when messing around as the white knight card before I checked the other card in the editor that the white knight card could never win a fight against it despite having higher strength and the better fighting style. They would simply always lose, but after I made the changes that fixed the white knight cards behavior now they lose like they should've been.

The card definitely has globals from modules that it no longer has. Either the card was initially based on another card that had those modules, or the creator added them at one point and then decided to remove them. Either way the leftover globals shouldn't have had any impact. It's got several modules that I'm not familiar with, but I don't have any further theories at the moment. It's also entirely possible that a 3rd party card had some sort of influence on the situation, in which case everything working after you deleted the globals was just a coincidence. When you modified the card did you start a new game? Or did you import the AAUnlimited data using QtEdit into an ongoing game?

I imported it with QtEdit.

I just realized in my half-awake state that you linked the card that you were trying to get the white knight to target, and not the card with the white knight module. That may or may not change things, but I'd have to think about it more when I'm more awake. I like a mystery, but only when I'm fully conscious.

well that boyo was made as an arsehole corruptor that has the necessary charisma to have the "whole class" in his hands after all, im kinda eepy but if i understand right you want to beat ritsuya right? at least in my game he behave as intended
1722686770729.png but maybe this globals was the cause(? iirc itsfrom martial artist or one of those kind of modules
first time reading a problem like that ngl

Thanks, again! I'm not even grasping how to start. When I create a new game, I'm taken to club selection. Nothing changes the club names on the left, but you can click on a series of clubs on the right and that changes the icon for the selected club on the left (the club name remains the same). Don't know what I'm even doing here... Give up, click DONE to move along, I'm in a bedroom and can't interact with anything except the roster on the top right. So, you're right, apparently the relevant interactions are on that side. I see I can populate the roster, randomly or pick/remove students. There isn't a single hovering tip, not even putting into words what those buttons are for. I don't mean to sound like I'm whining, just want to illustrate what I mean with a "first steps" tutorial being useful. Not even the wiki helps with learning to use the ui.

Then (back to the game) I now have a clickable sleep button (before populating the roster, it was greyed out and not "clickable". I assume, since it's the only option available, that's what I should do next. After sleep, there's a go-to-school button instead... Yeah, seems like I get it. This isn't really an open world game, is it? I'm used to HHS, which bears some similarities, but these seem to be different games altogether.

Next, I'm on the city street. Wait, did I forget to customize my own character? :/ I'm confused, need a guide :p Again, on the street, there's new buttons on the top right. What do they do? No hovering tips. I'd definitely rather have a guide to read, than using trial and error blindly, saving and loading the game, etc...

Nice, I can actually navigate through the streets, and the second button on the right is a map. There's students, now, and they're interacting. Looks like I'm getting somewhere. But I can't help being lost thinking about all that I don't know about. Are there shortcut keys? Can I pull my own character's card - how do I do that? ESC usually brings up a menu with save and load buttons, but here it's only to exit the game. Where's the game menu? I'm getting anxious, what if I screw up, now that it took some time to get here, I need to SAAAAVE.... Is it auto saved when quitting? No save-scumming allowed? What if the game is time limited and I'm wasting time? Again, I read nothing that told me there's a time limit, but also nothing that told me there isn't.

So many questions, so few answers. At least I can reference to your guide to figure out what the interaction tabs do, since you put them in order, nice going. Maybe I'll practice a little and soon be able to move on to more strategy focused tutorials?...

need help. Downloaded the mega zip file. extracted it got the folder. Tried to run the exe, got missing dll_dx9_42. Went online and downloaded the 64bit version. Tried launching again and got application unable to start correctly (0xc00007b). Removed that dll, went online and got the 32bit version. Downloaded it and placed in folder, tried running again, the launcher comes up for settings for audio, graphics etc. Press launch and the launcher hangs and crashes.

Any one have any idea why is it happening? I got a windows 10 22h2, 64 bit.

Try . The information contained within isnt 100% accurate, but it has the basics of things.

Have you installed the stuff in the "extras" folder? Try that, then report back.

installed all the stuff except the visual packages because i think i already have them installed as it shows up as "another version of this is already installed on your device" and "installation fail". I've even done the whole check wine3d, check win10fix and then the options in that. Still didn't work, i tried the software vertex processing with wine3d as well as windows10 fix and still didn't work. Basically as soon as i hit launch the command prompt shows up for a split second before it closes almost immediately. the cmd reads something like all pipe instances are busy. I've even tried compatibility with windows 7 and 8 ans still the same thing happens.

Check if you have any AA2 or PPeX processes stuck running in the background, and kill them if so. Also remove any of those dll files that you downloaded and placed in the folder. It's usually not a great idea to download random dll files from the internet to begin with.

Would anyone know why my launcher crashes only when the CCC .ppx files are added? I added both the male and female ones into the data folder but it doesn’t start past the launcher. Removing them makes the game run normally again.

if i remove the dll file, it will show up as missing dll 42. I downloaded it from dll.com so i'm certain nothing wrong with it.
Honestly i'm thinking of removing the whole folder and doing a fresh download, but if the dll file wasn't in it in the beginning pretty sure it won't be there in the new download as well.
