VN Ren'Py Abandoned Babysitting Cream: BetaMix Edition [v0.3.5] [Novilon]

[Pleevy]

Depending on when you last posted, just a lot of shop talk and maybe some playful banter. You have not missed an update, just talk about the next one. Which...is going to be a "mini" update. It will be version 0.7.5. Internally, we are at 0.7.4.7 with a clear trajectory (if not time frame) for what will be finished to be in the release. The last two things 0.7.4.8 and 0.7.4.9 are in process. Then final testing, maybe some typo cleanup, and THEN an update! I have already put in the files a notation for November release (But no specific day) because it wont be done before Halloween, (I know that to be fact,) but it shouldn't be long now.

 

[Dank man]

Happy Halloween

 

[FoxyTails]

Beware because tonight the Night,
For ghosts and ghouls to cause a Fright,
Stay still, be quiet, but stick around,
Because a surprize may be found.

So...multiple people cannot find anything in the code that would indicate a bug...I think it may be situational...like I was having an issue with the preferences menu, and it seemed like it had to be a code bug...but it was because of my many overwrites and changes and temp build files and saves from older versions etc. not anything actually wrong with the code. A "fresh install" and like magic, everything works fine. Also..if you somehow skipped the day changing, like using the cheats menu or somehow getting yourself in a dev menu (if the code was left in a stray release) you could have triggered that which governs it accidentally, or not had the normal triggers that reset it take place, which would lead to it not happening.

Forgot to say, I've faced the bug in the remake, if that helps.
No, I didn't use any cheats. I think it might be caused by me taking shower myself beforehand, I'll try to re-create bug again.

Don't go too crazy with it...first, you are the only one who has mentioned it so far..so its not like everyone has seen it and noticed it...so even if it is not localized...it hasn't bothered most enough to say anything (or they did not realize it) Second, as mentioned before, a "fresh install" could possibly "solve it."

That said...we are going through final review and testing of 0.7.5 so I will do one more pass to try to find/fix this. If it is correlated with you showering, then it is likely that somewhere a piece of code triggers the "i showered today" that keeps Cream from needing it when YOU shower. If that is the case it should be easy to fix. Worst case, when you have your paws on 0.7.5 let us know if you run into it again and we can look to fix it in/by 0.8.

when is sleeping with cream after she hugs you in her room going to have a version where it's not treated as the first time/doesn't end the day

when is sleeping with cream after she hugs you in her room going to have a version where it's not treated as the first time/doesn't end the day

This can be looked into for 0.8 and beyond, but wont make it into 0.7.5. There is a lot going on in the file that governs cream's interactions in there room and then for what ends the day/sleeping and "sleeping" with. Can you give me a little more to go from? Maybe more of the context of which "hug" instance you mean...(there are multiple regular and special...so the more info you can give the more likely we can find and replicate it so as to solve for it in the code. A simple trigger of a a variable that gets checked for and some new text for "not the first time shouldn't be too hard, once its found)

On the note of 0.7.5. - 3 steps to go...Trim down files not being used yet, re-build the distribution , and upload. Might get it done today, but probably tomorrow!

when is sleeping with cream after she hugs you in her room going to have a version where it's not treated as the first time/doesn't end the day

Have you got the right location ??

The only hugs in Creams room that I can find are the 'special hug' and no reference to sleeping in her room.
In Vanilla room however you can call cream there and give her hugs - although can't see anything about 'treated as first time' so unsure what you mean

When you ask her to take of her dress then you get the option to ask if she'll sleep with you and THAT does end the day so I guess that could be looked at and have a check of sorts for time of day that only shows the 'Would you like to sleep with me tonight, Cream? ⚡10" only if it's after a specific time (say 9pm-ish ??)

 

[seronis]

i think they mean sleeping with creme in vanillas room after already having hd sex with her is still treated as the first time when its not the first time

 

[Pleevy]

Well... we did find part of what it appears they were referencing...if you ask cream to 'sleep with you tonight' when other conditions have been met, it takes you to end the day immediately...even if you asked her at like 8AM. So, THAT is something we can easily fix. We snuck a little extra code into the 0.7.5 content for that menu so that if it's too early in the day but you meet the requirements, she will suggest you ask again later. Then, if it is late enough in the day, it will end the day and proceed as normal. However, this does not/will not include variables for "first time" or not. We can add it to the 0.8 list.

There are other time jump items on the list AFAIK, like the bus return forcing it to late, even if you chose to leave at noon, though, like busses...there will likely be a schedule...so like if you chose to leave at 10AM, you could catch the 11 AM Bus, if you chose to leave at noon you could catch the 2PM Bus, after that catches the 5PM bus...better than always coming home late no matter when you leave, but still enough that there is another benefit to using the car and having total agency of when you come and go.

 

[CarlCarlson99]

last i checked, when you play with cream in her room after she is comfortable without her dress, she can hug you and you can let her discover how "happy" you are and it can lead to sex. If you do, it ends the day after. the dialogue also implies it's the first time you've done it even when you have already had sex with her

Hi, I have a quick question.

From what I've read, you're making a version of the game, right?

If the answer is no, sorry to bother you.

If the answer is yes, I have something that might help you.

Thanks for that... it narrows down where to look now instead of guessing

EDIT: OK ... I THINK I figured out what's happening. It may or may not be a simple bug fix
Gonna try something out before I submit it in case I'm wrong

Remember, Remember the 5th of November...the BSC mini-release and plot...
I know of no reason the BSC mini-release should ever be forgot!


UPDATE: Yes, you have been hearing about it for a good long while now...and now it's time to make good on all the chatter.

Everyone: The file fast (original) links will expire in 31 days. (Dec 6th-ish) They are also perhaps not 'the best' file host. Don't badger anyone with "Why" - TLDR, plan for new links to happen.

Patches/Fixes: See attached files
- Patch 0.7.5.01: Replace current phone.rpy, guests.rpy and phone.rpy with the ones from this zip file to fix.
(This is/will be included in any future releases, thanks to those who jumped on things so quickly.)
-Patch 0.7.5.02: Fix WIP Ending Jumps so that endings at longer game point to respective temporary endings properly
(Not integrated into main downloads yet)

Things to keep in mind:​

*It is still a work in progress...not a final release. Its steps toward what is intended to be such, but not there yet. Things moved much slower than previously...and I won't go into the why's and wherefors, just know, its not given up on, even if now there is another post instead of the main one of this thread, or a new one, or even the old one on page 90.

*The core of the game has been renamed BUT the save directory location should be the same as the old versions...so in that way, your saves should still be there. However...there are enough changes throughout..."everywhere" that starting fresh is probably the best course of action.

*For the graphics: You have options by contributor, and/or can use multiple if you want. Minimum, it requires you to have the old "original" graphics chosen. If you want those, then have them at the top of the list. If you want to use newer graphics or combinations, make sure each contributor is selected, and then use the arrows next to their names to move them up or down in priority. Top pick will determine the graphic shown. If that contributor doesn't have an image for the coded part, the next one down the list will show, until in worst case situation, no contributor's graphic is shown. AvalonX is the old original artwork. There is of course no new graphics of this kind, nor is there likely to ever be. Novaca's content is closest to the original content, but cleaner visually. SWP's content and FoxyTail's are notably different from the original stylistically. No...I cannot tell you who has what images for what scenes off the top of my head...so don't bother asking...every release from here on out SHOULD have MORE images as part of it...if all goes as planned.

*There are at least 3 "under construction" sections. Original intent was to have more done, but it didn't happen that way...sorry. The replacement for the instant messenger and the first phases of the Car content. Don't expect much from these areas until at least 0.8...but you can get a "glimpse" at what's on the docket. The framework of the other new stuff was left out, and will be included when it has more substance (0.8 and beyond.) Endings of course will come to being when the new endings are final with the added story stuff.

*Also, don't forget 'H' Some of the images appear below the text box area. H hides it so you can see everything.

Attached are Patch Notes.

Looks like we might have this found and solvable. It did not make it into this mini-release, BUT It will be one of the first edits toward 0.8.

If the answer is yes, I have something that might help you.

I mean...kind of? Not really? I am one of a group that was part of an effort to get it finished. For the moment...I have taken on more roles than initially intended...but I don't think of it as me making a version...more as being a part of keeping what has been ongoing since Xaverion took over earlier this year. What do you have that might help?

You see, I saw that someone in this section made AI images of Cream; they're basic, but acceptable. I've been working on this.

Perhaps I could tweak it a bit more to make it look more like Aval0x's style, but that's it.

Ability to create Cream more faithfully in Aval0x's style.

It's compatible with everything and for some reason, it can also generate Sonic somehow; perhaps this could be useful for adding more Cream content.

Ah, I see. Well...a couple of things. 1: Me personally...I prefer the newer generated graphics to the original art style. Nothing against its artist...just not my style. (I think picassos are like the ugliest things in the world...but others value them at obscene amounts of money...personal preferences) So I say that as to say...'I' dont particularly want to make more of the Avalonx images...but..I know others like it/want it...and so as far as the project goes...our intent is to maintain the spirit of the original...if that means these kind of images, so be it...yay for those who want them, I'm not gonna fight it.

However....2: I am already 'in over my head' as far as this goes...I will NOT be adding the work of making new images, at most I will learn form others for future personal uses, but I never signed up for "doing everything." My intent was to help, be a part of something, not take it over, not make it mine, not do everything...if I am going to "do everything," I will work on my own personal projects.

That said...3: If you want to generate images and are willing to put in the time, and willing to contribute, we have the current version set so it can have any of many contributors/artists graphics in the game...and that could be part of it.

Please don't take that as anything negative toward you. The sentiment, and attempt to help is appreciated, even if I am not good at expressing that. I just have to be clear about...I dunno..boundaries I guess?

I understand more or less what you mean (I'm not 100% sure due to translation issues).

But I understand point 2 (assuming the translation is correct, of course),you're overwhelmed with a project where you're just one member of the team working on it, and you're not going to do it alone.

I only contacted you because, from what I've read, you seem to be the most involved in this project, and well, if I can help in any way, even by creating images, without using Aval0nx's style, I can be of assistance if you'd like.

Sorry. I guess I took for granted English posts. I shall try not to do so in the future. You appear to have a good enough understanding of my response. I may be the most visible part of the group at the moment, but I am not the only one. There are others who focus on the images. Thank you for being willing to assist. What is your primary language?
