Ren'Py Bad Memories [v0.9.5.2] [recreation]

[Sancho1969]

did rec update to renpy 8? if did then that's issue since renpy 8 uses some "tricks" which older hardware can't bend.

No, it's 7.5.3... but folks will still benefit from running all RenPy via the dedicated GPU. Integrated chips suck for any serious animation of any sort (I'm calling you out Intel).

 

[Sancho1969]

just ignore that, it's fixed internally.


nope.

Regarding the videos:
I'm using vp9 with high quality settings for some videos (I'm talking hdr compatibility). I don't know the exact reason behind it, but Renpy always had a problem with video decoding, so the better the video quality, the worse it gets.
Sometimes you can even notice that on high end pc's. A simple solution is higher video compression (worse quality), which I won't use for the normal release, but a compressed version will come eventually.

FYI, see above. If folks have any respectable dedicated card (even on a lappy) then they can run via that card and it will be smooth as ice. I've modded a ton of VN's and have half a dozen bench testing units and all run everything fine, even the 5+yr old machines.

recreation, before you run off this evening: Since I've been working so quickly the past 48hrs I didn't log separately all the little fixes I made... but if I release this stable mod update (that makes the beta completely bug-free) if you want, I made comments throughout that are searchable. I did this really for me later but you might benefit from some minor bugs you don't already know about. I went through everything with a fine-toothed comb this go-round. I'm cleaning up my Core code now to final test but I've performed multiple speedruns with every variant of choices I can think of with zero issues... all while the mod is doing it's thing in the background.

Just a heads-up in case it assists you at all. Regards.

I just checked and they use mkv instead of webm like here, maybe that format is the problem.

Yes, webm is typically used for vp9 encoded video and vp9 is one of the worst performing formats if you don't have hardware support for it.

Well duh. It's one of the most modern, most (size) efficient codecs there is. That obviously comes with some tradeoffs.

What I wanna know is, why was Ward so obsessed with taking John (MC) down? Was he best buds with John and Ellie's dad or something?

It's more of a software issue. That's why h265 is much faster and usually has better compression.

Something wicked this way comes....

04/05/23 Note: Regarding v0.8(beta), recreation doesn't release betas and I generally don't mod betas. I'll start updating the mod Core but don't hold your breath for a beta professional mod release... it's really not in anyone's best interest, especially if I'm to insure the integrity of your saves and playthrough experience as intended by the developer. I'll post any updates in the mod's thread. Regards.

SanchoMod now updated to v0.7.5
Bad Memories - MultiMod Edition

Solution to problems:
Don't play an unauthorized beta release.

The post above yours solves all of it, even the "Female" saves issue. I didn't intend to release out of respect for recreation but being kicked out of the OP changed my mind.. and this pro mod build should sort folks out. Since I went through every line of code I'm all but guaranteeing 100% no bugs (which will surely come back to bite me in the ass now that I just type that). Save files should be safe as long as dev doesn't change the Character variables again. If they aren't I'll sort it yet again in the next real and proper VN update.

i dont really read plot and the story, but this game is really good, no grinding, no choosing between paths (i mean between girls and dark/good), this is gonna be one of my best games (doesnt matter that i just fap skipping all text)

 

[torgpolariski]

is 0.8 gonna finish the story or is there more to it?

 

[Danv]

is 0.8 gonna finish the story or is there more to it?

we not even half way through

 

[projectwhite]

dang search bar must be broke again...

hehehe thank you

 

[torgpolariski]

we not even half way through

nice, thats what i was hoping

 

[cxx]

Is there a way to solve it?

best way is to invest on newer hardware. 2nd best is to play compressed version.

don't remember how animations were done on fashion business (since stopped playing that long ago).

Oh no, you said the bad words

we not even half way through

We're more than half through

 

[Danv]

We're more than half through

thats really fucking short, we basically just finished with characters introductions, barely anything happen story-wise, one would expect it to be around one third mark
please don't tell WSIGTH also closing in on finish

 

[1reaper1]

seems like its my time to step out of this game. which is a shame as it was a really good game up until

Yes, now I remember that. It's a bug in the Beta... it is fixed in the pending SanchoMod update though. Apologies, I forgot that I sorted that already. You should be able to skip past if you prefer to continue playing unmodded though.

i did play past it indeed though just thought it good to notify people here in case it was not fixed or noticed yet
