Others Completed Ascension I: From Rags to Riches [v1.0.3] [The Pink Penguin]

[InsaneMonster]

I uninstalled reinstalled and same thing happened right after the first dream sequence. I'm not even sure where game saves at if you can tell me I'll post it for you.

Reinstalling the game won't work if the saves are not overwritten.

If your system is Windows the save would be at C:\Users\%user%\AppData\Roaming\fromragstoriches\Local Storage\leveldb

Compress the folder and attach on your post. If it exceeds the size restriction, run the game and take a screenshot to show the dialogue after clicking option where you post up sign and crawling to bed. The dialogue might indicate enough on what the issue would be like.

This is the first save the game gave me an opportunity to do after the sex training stopped.

Here's the fixed save. Copy and replace your save. Do create a backup first just in case.

This is a rather crude fix as the backend database fix will require me to install a couple software and run some scripts which is too much of a hassle personally. Instead, I wrote a couple lines of code to correct the issue and saved the correction in a new save. You will find a save "Fixed Chapter 2" in slot 7, load that to continue your journey. The expense for this crude fix is I have to run an event to allow the written code to execute, so this fixed save would have advanced the event in save slot 1 meaning you missed a choice. I picked the Athletic option so the fixed save will have your Athletic skill at 6 now.

I've also checked your other saves; save 5 is the latest save you can use if you feel like rolling back without the error if you are not going to use the fixed save. Save 1 and 6 are bricked however.

Spoiler: What is the problem?

Ok I believe I understand although I'm a total incompetent in this computer stuff. I probably did something wrong. I do greatly appreciate you taking the time to look over it and give me a fix. Thank you

Gave it a try, and after 20 minutes uninstalled, it's not labeled as a kinetic novel, but it 100% feels like one. If there's any "free-roam" aspect, I didn't reach it by chapter 2. I'm all for porn games having actual gameplay, but this majorly sucked.

Is there a way to edit save?

Send me your save, I'll see what I can do.

Is there a way to edit save?

Technically yes, realistically no. Narrat uses levelDB for its save, if you are not familiar with how levelDB works its easier to modify scripts to "edit" the save instead of tweaking the database directly.

How do I edit the the saves then?
Please guide me Sensei

Thanks, but I don't know where the save file is located?

You will need to be able to read basic scripts to do this. The game's VN element files are stored in the resources/app/public folder, though you can simply modify them in the resources/app/dist folder directly instead. They only work for text and trigger based modifications though so modifying the management part of the game is limited. These are instead stored in resources/app/src. The way you edit the saves would be to modify the scripts in the dist folder to add a condition trigger, either a game decision or an event that will change values in the save, run the game to activate the modified decision/event, then save to overwrite the changed values. I am not the best person to explain this in a nutshell so it may sound very complicated. Personally this method is already much easier than to change the database records directly.

You can follow the steps here. I've also placed a general instruction spoiler in my review for this game. You can follow through there as well.

Thank you!
Hopefully you can fix this and it won't require much work.
Otherwise it's fine.

So to start, there has to be some corrupted values in the autosave here which probably has to do with my own environment so I cannot load the autosave without causing a DB restore - in other words I cannot recover the autosave at its current state. I checked your closest save before the autosave which should be Save 04 but found a potential bug in there as well. To confirm if this is the case, you will have to load this save from your game and progress, then let me know if Sir Adder's house (Rose's kidnapper) will appear on your map or not. Since this save is logged at the last phase of Rose's kidnapping quest, if Sir Adder doesn't show up then its a bug and I will fix that for you, if it does then I will reset Rose's hunting lodge sequence and you can go through from there again.

Alright!
I'll try it out tomorrow!

Yes his house doesn't show up.

Yes his house doesn't show up.

The multiple "He slept deeply." repetition is unusual actually, shouldn't behave that way in the base game. It indicated something triggering the function that ends a day several times - could potentially mess up your progress later at one main quest where days elapsed matter.

Regardless, here's a generic fix for the progress. As per requested its in save slot 07, I've renamed it to Fixed Save. Sir Adder's house will reappear and you will have to progress that again, rehire Rose and proceed with the lodge. From what I get after reviewing related triggers seems like Rose's affection went out of bounds and got reset in an impossible state to allow the options to reappear - the game got confused on what to do pretty much.

I've also included an optional folder containing a mod that will allow you to save progress at your apartment whenever accessible. Note that this is not a fix-all solution, merely allowing you to save more often and thus having a much more recent rollback if shit hits the fan again, which will be a common occurrence with this game.

The "Fixed Save" ZIP file will contain the fixed save folder. Delete your existing leveldb folder, then extract the fixed one in. This is the safer option to ensure no corruption due to how the game renames and overwrites the db and their naming.

The "save patch" Zip file will contain the mod. Simply copy the folder into your base game folder. It should prompt a warning that "apartment.nar" will be replaced/overwritten. Proceed to patch the file.

Woow thank you!
Hopefully it didn't take too much of your time
the multiple "He slept deeply." repetition I saw after reloading the save again
previously I slept for a few days to see if the house appeared

I'm stuck on this quest, can you help me again please?
I went everywhere and there's nothing that triggers it. I've seen in the comments above it's one of the final quests.
Is it a bug or should I do sth more? I've unlocked everything and almost 200 000 influence and over 1 million coins

Yeah sure. This quest has several game breaking bugs that I've discovered previously so its not a surprise you got stuck here.
