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

[jackdanniels]

OMG, this game has an identity crisis.
Where is it supposed to be based? I'm guess in the US as a lot of things say that, but right from the start the scene when MC is in the 'cab' to his burned out apartment, that was a scene right from London. Now the MC is driving Jada home and instead of being in the city it looks like he's driving her out into the wilds without going past any houses to start with...where is the house (which is on a huge lake)?

In general, (good) devs abstractly develop their AVN stories in terms of location; it's a pinch of everything mixed with pure imagination.

don't get me wrong, I like the story line it's just a little jarring when confronted with non US landscapes when it's assumed it's in the US. Though the phone numbers I've seen come up are weird beyond belief (is there a hidden message in the used numbers). Saw one that was a code of '0152' which appears to be used in Germany and another that seemed to be in Italy (according to Google).
Do we see where the mother is working? I mean she lives in that huge house and doesn't seem to have problems paying the bills (as she has not to this point asked for any rent and is currently feeding four people)

Her asking for rent when the MC owns the house? I'm sure that would go down well...

Like jackdanniels explain, this game don't take place in a specific country.
Let just say it sets in an imaginary Western country, that can mix elements of different European and North American countries.

About Rachel paying a rent, she and Ellie live in Ellie and MC father house.
I'm not totally sure (it's been a while I started the game), but I think it's explain that legally, after the death of their father the house belongs to the MC. But they ran away, while Rachel and Ellie stayed living there. Perhaps this occupation was illegal, but as the legal owner (aka the MC) wasn't here, there was nobody to file a complaint. At least if Rachel paid the municipal taxes.
So if Rachel has to pay a rent, it should be to the MC.

My guess is the .sh is not marked as executeable.

you can change it in terminal, in the Bad memories folder:

chmod +x Bad-Memories.sh

and also set the executeable itself as executeable:

chmod +x lib/py3-linux-x86_64/Bad-Memories

You can also do the same thing from the file browser. Right click on the file -> properties -> Permissions -> Allow this file to run as a program

The terminal is quicker though in my experience

That actually fixed it, thanks for the help

Perhaps this occupation was illegal, but as the legal owner (aka the MC) wasn't here, there was nobody to file a complaint.

Presumably it would only be illegal if the MC explicitly said "Get out of my house", and they stayed anyway. But even then you start to get into a blurrier area if "Squatter's Rights" get invoked (which itself is complicated by the fact that Rachel and Ellie were living in the house prior to the MC's father's death).

But the impression that I always had was that the MC basically gave them tacit permission to stay there when they left, so it wouldn't even be an issue in the first place.

Happy to help. Happens on a few games, not sure why, but check the flag on the .sh to see if it is marked as executable:

That's what it should look like:

~/games/Bad-Memories-0.9.5-market via v3.12.3
❯ ls -alh Bad-Memories.sh
-rwxr-xr-x 1 user group 1.7K Sep 9 2022 Bad-Memories.sh



And that's what it looks like "out of the box":

~/games/Bad-Memories-0.9.5-market via v3.12.3
❯ ls -alh Bad-Memories.sh
-rw-r--r-- 1 user group 1.7K Sep 9 2022 Bad-Memories.sh

I am using Bad Memories because we are here, but it happens to many games.


and if you want to know where the linux executeable is check the sh file itself:

LIB="$ROOT/lib/$PYTHON-$RENPY_PLATFORM"

RENPY_PLATFORM="$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)"

case "$RENPY_PLATFORM" in
Darwin-*|mac-*)
RENPY_PLATFORM="mac-x86_64"
;;
*-x86_64|amd64)
RENPY_PLATFORM="linux-x86_64"
;;
*-i*86)
RENPY_PLATFORM="linux-i686"
;;
Linux-*)
RENPY_PLATFORM="linux-$(uname -m)"
;;
*)
;;
esac

basically it tells you that the we want the lib directory and in there one of the following. So if you go to the lib folder you can see which is which. but like in this case:

lib/py3-linux-x86_64/Bad-Memories

which also requires the executable flag because the .sh file just really executes that one.

Happy hunting.

I didn't remembered that when leaving, the MC had given Rachel permission to stay. As I recall it, the MC just fled without speaking to anyone.
It's when they came back that they allowed Rachel and Ellie to stay. And didn't ask for a rent.

So, it's why Rachel doesn't need to have a good salary to be able to stay all this time in that big house.
As long as she earn enough to be able to pay the municipal tax and all the costs associated with living in the house (like electricity bill, minor maintenance work...).
Of course, I assume the MC's father had payed the house in full before his death, and there was no mortgage on it anymore.

It happens when someone extracts and then re-compresses the zip file on a windows machine. The archive that Renpy outputs has the file permissions set properly, but windows doesn't recognise these and extracting and re-zipping it will clear those flags. It's kind of a red flag for tampering but enough devs don't understand that they're supposed to ship the archive that Renpy gives them without compressing it themselves that if you treat it as one you'll get false positives.

sweet thank you for the information!

So at least in my case (since I can't speak for other developers), if permissions are f'ed, you can safely bet that it's not the original game/upload, since I always upload builds the way renpy spits them out. The only time I unpack them is for testing purposes and to compare stuff with older builds (and for steam, but that's an entirely different issue that doesn't apply here), none of which has any influence of the actual release build.

...and regarding the House.
It's fully paid and MC is the owner, but they just wanted to get the fuck out and didn't care (and/or think) about anything else. Rachel was already paying the taxes and bills after MC's Dad's death and that never changed since MC wasn't adult yet when they ran away.

Sooo, I have just redownloaded the game and I can confirm the execute permission is -not- set on the .sh file.

I swear I am not being a dick, just confirming.

Downloaded from pixeldrain link, may be that has something to do with that

Yes, but what will happen to your relationship with Hannah (coffee girl) if you choose to create a harem? I feel sorry for this generally pure girl, unspoiled. maybe then it will be possible to integrate her into the harem? Really, I guess I'll have to make her a dirty girl first, right?

The releases posted here are made by uploaders, not rec. The uploader could have repacked the original archive, or it could have been a ripped Steam version.

If you had taken the original link from Patreon and it had been the same there, then that would have confirmed something.

1. possible, 2. we'll see.

You can do that but who know what will happen later on?

It depends on how the story goes from here. From the start till the current chapter, there may seem to be a bits of suspense undertone to the backstory of the MC and the girls.

There may be a plot twist later or I am just overthinking about it…

 

[Jarulf]

I'm sure we'll all be fine and happy in the end however we decided to play.
I'm looking forward to my lesbian harem with some sweet sisterly love.

hey recreation, bug about the unplayable special seasonal replays:
by default the menu action Replay requires the label to be already seen or you cannot interact/execute it (gallery.rpy l:334):

                    elif id_type == nameByIDSpecial:
                        action [ Replay(id_name[i][1])]

to ignore the already seen label check, you need to kwarg locked to False (actual third arg):

                        action Replay(id_name[i][1], locked=False)

in comparison the regular replays already use the auto-handled system based on the persistent label seen flag
(im easily guessing you already have those flags on and couldn't possibly notice the bug here)

She's got a lot of obsessive traits. Like, you go on one date with her and she's acting like you're soulmates and you're the love of her life. But fortunately, she doesn't seem like she's got the crazier aspects of obsession that would make her go full yandere and have her try to kill you/the other girls for your "cheating".

So it feels like she wouldn't necessarily mind if you've got a house full of girls in your harem, as long as she gets an invite to be part of it.

If anything, it feels like Rachel and Katherine might be the two you'd have to work a little harder to get to be okay with the idea, considering Katherine's already protested multiple times that she doesn't really want to be a third wheel, and you're basically asking Rachel to be okay with the idea of sharing you with her own daughter.

Given that this is at .952 how close is that to being completed?

well if each update / fix is .0.0.1 that's not hard to figure out but if its planned to go beyond 1.0.0 we have no idea
