You don't actually "win". The Vinny scene is not a real Brawler event... it's a spoof by the dev to make you originally think you have some kind of outcome choice... but you don't since Vinny has a gun (or prop gun) and only have choices on how you respond to the entire event.

Bottom line: it's not really a Brawler mini-game but the mod's code sometimes sees the spoof code and interprets as being a Brawler event. I never went back to fine-tune Vinny's event out (or I did and you aren't playing the most recent version of the mod, I can't remember being this early in the morning and I'm on my first cup of coffee).
thanks, I should have the latest mod version I think, I remember I updated both not too long ago coz I saw one or two maintenance updates

Fair enough, I do need to fine-tune that mod portion of the minigame cheat button to not pop during that scene. At the end of the day it doesn't matter if you make physical contact with Vinnie (via the Brawler spoof) or not in that scene... it changes nothing but one or two lines of immediate dialogue. There are no vars altered, that I'm confident in saying 100%. Again, it's just a spoof interface inserted by Pink to throw off the Player so that they think they "might" be able to kick Vinnie's ass and change outcomes... but you can't, it's completely linear.

I actually wouldn't know that part (it being linear) since I always tried to fight the asshole :ROFLMAO:

Hello, is there a way to bypass the season 3 party minigame with the mod? Or is that something you are working on?

thank you!

Does the mod change fighting skills in ep 10?
skills I don't think so, you need to level those up if you want as usual, it gives you an auto-win button (so if you are not into the fighting game anyway there is no need to bother with the skills, I haven't touched brawler in years myself :ROFLMAO: )

Are there problems with the Party cheat? I selected the cheat option for episode 9, played everything and only got Rank C. I did it by myself the first time and got Rank C. So went back to an old save and replayed it. Got Rank C again with the cheat.

It will depend on which perks you choose. The cheat is very dynamic and not brute forced by design (so I don't fuck up your saves or have Pink sabotage your saves). See the update post here for my personal recommendations, specifically having "Hard to Let Down" as one of them.

Why hello there Sancho!

I have the GoG version with S2 + guides + GuideFix (which makes my version be 0.8.9 redux) and it works perfectly! No issues on the first run - that'll become relevant later - or while earning points for a path or branch. The thing is that the guide doesn't work on a second savegame, as I wear the "g" key or left click to a knob. The "Guide" button on the QuickMenu is displayed as "Guide [insert number]", in which "Insert number" is actually the guide's page that should have the actions described in the BaD. For instance, in Ep. 6, during DnG, the page is 56 since that's the first page for the endings, and therefore it says "Guide 56". Again: the hotkey or left clicking the button doesn't work.

I can't show a screenshot or replicate the situation since I had the idea of setting a hardsave right after naming MC and that makes the issue non-existent. It only happens on a fully new - second- save. I did try reinstalling and deleting the persistent files on both folders, to no avail. Did I bork something? Is something borked?

You're referencing the VN's Guide in the QuickMenu, right? If so clicking it simply turns that guide On/Off. If by hotkey you are referencing the "g" key, well then I have that set to turning the mod's ChoiceGuide On/Off. Give me a bit more clarification as the QM Guide number should always point to the correct PDF page number... if memory serves me correctly. That said I don't know what's in this "GuideFix" you mentioned. If you want/need to move this convo to PM then feel free to do so and I'll reply to it.

The VN's guide in Quick Menu, yeah. The hotkey I'm referencing is "g" indeed, and I need the Guide Fix (the one that you've kindly provided in #1,113) since I use the in-game guide for the exact locations of renders, and "g" on its own - with no Fix - toggles ChoiceGuide On/Off. Also, not having to Alt+Tab for the PDF or having it on my phone when I don't have to, is far easier and simpler IMO.

It does point to the correct PDF page number, but it makes the VN's Guide redundant for no reason... Clicking the button on QM or pressing "g" doesn't work. Maybe it works just fine on Steam version. IDK.

Damn, the official guide fix I wrote... yeah, forgot about that I reckon. Here's my guess of what the problem is bud: That GuideFix I wrote in Feb2023, but I updated the mod for S1/2 in Dec2023 (complete revamp of mod Core). I bet dollars to donuts I wasn't thinking of the GuideFix and fucked up the "g" key for you to get the official guide to pop correctly. Damn. I'll have to check on that later and see what's what.

Same issue here, game won't launch. :/

Edit: After uninstalling, removing the mod files, then re-installing without the mod, the game works.
