Oh hell! I totally forgot her! Cheers for jogging my memory man! How the heck did I completely forget Zoe when she was one of the first mentions early on in the game.

In regards to future episodes, we may extrapolate that Zoe is being brought in to stir the waters or be a part of MCs life if the MC choses or the choice is made for him - what say you? Interlude may mean that much of the main storyline is put on hold for maybe a side-plot? Waves could mean changes or disturbances, conflict even. Hope Zoe is at the heart of it because I would love to see her character being a part of MCs everyday life - especially if she is a potential LI.

Who knows what DPC will have planned for her... But we have to wait lol

No fair. This teasing of a new possible LI.... *bites proverbial female lip*
Alright - Riding the Waves I'm fairly sure that Zoe will have a great part in it, or so I hope. Cheers for sharing the info.

According to DPC it could last between 40 to 60 minutes... So it will be a short "episode" compared to the others and it could come out in March if we are lucky

I'm using a mac computer with my game originally at v0.7.1. I've merged the files of this update into the games folder. Then downloaded and added the walkthrough mod. When I open the game app on my laptop it just doesn't open. Reversed back to the v0.7.1 game and it works once again.

I'm not so sure this patch can be used on the Mac version. This is more than replacing some files in the game folder. Most likely some of those files have necessary equivalents for the Mac version which are not included in the patch because it's for Windows.

Of course, how foolish of me to forget Mac users still need to update the Mac engine files!

Edit: Following the info from PBS666, this has been revised to use the normal Mac BeingADIK.app file structure from Techstar's compressed version, rather than the modified application files from rpdl's original modded release of Being a DIK v0.8.0.

Mac libraries for Being a DIK v0.8:

In theory if you copy the BeingADIK.app/Contents folder into your existing 0.7.1 BeingADIK.app it should update the application files to the current version. Then if you merge the game folder from the unofficial Windows patch it should work. I know nothing about Mac though, and this is untested, so use at your own risk.

Make sure you keep a backup of your unpatched v0.7.1, so you can roll back to that if it doesn't work.

If it does work please let me know & I'll add it to the unofficial patch post.

It had often been suggested he was from Sweeden, I forget why

I don't know where I first heard DPC is from Sweden, but his

& Steam accounts have said he's based in Sweden.

This is usually a result of your client not being whitelisted. I use the latest qbittorrent and it worked just fine.
What? Why? Are you suggesting that the MC looks like a bitch? .. Well, okay, maybe.

It is updated but i am using on ubuntu

It is updated but i am using on ubuntu

In ubuntu it already comes with a program to download torrents I have used it many times without problems

Yeah transmissions but even that is not working properly i am checking qbit and transmissions update.

Anyone else have problems getting this game from MEGA?
It crashes at 4gigs every time.

 

[PBS666]

Of course, how foolish of me to forget Mac users still need to update the Mac engine files!

I've pulled the Mac BeingADIK.app and Ren'Py 7.4.10 libraries from rpdl's original modded release of Being a DIK v0.8.0.

In theory if you copy the BeingADIK.app and lib folders into the root BeingADIK directory (where the BeingADIK.exe is), then merge the files from the unofficial Windows patch it should work. I know nothing about Mac though, and this is untested, so use at your own risk.

Make sure you keep a backup of your unpatched v0.7.1, so you can roll back to that if it doesn't work.

If it does work please let me know & I'll add it to the unofficial patch post.

Thanks for the effort. Can't test it myself unfortunately as I don't have v071 anymore.

FYI, for the location of the files, on Mac the app is the enclosing folder (apps are folders masquerading as files).
Inside the app there is a folder Contents which contains everything (see screenshot)
The file BeingADIK is the actual executable which starts the game, the equivalent of the Windows exe.
The game folder is identical to the PC version.

Can I hope for a harem ending for us harem lovers?

Unless you have improved access to Mega the daily download max is 5 gb... You can surpass this by pausing download and continuing a day later or make an account with a higher daily max. Can't think of any more reasons why Mega should crash several times and always at a certain amount of downloaded GB (besides HDisc space ofcourse)

Can I hope for a harem ending for us harem lovers?

Unlikely, possibly a throuple but that's as far we can expect now... Last updated effectively closes down several paths if you happen to be on more then one path....

 

[Jimayo]

Unless you have improved access to Mega the daily download max is 5 gb...

No. It's like every 5-7 hours or so.

 

[sixart]

Yeah... about MEGA your daily transfer quota is 20GB ( free mode without the VPN trick and if you know when the daily reset is !!! ) every 6 hours you get 5GB

 

[vogelbeest]

No. It's like every 5-7 hours or so.

AH, that's even better then But luckily there's usually enough alternatives for reasonably fast downloads so i don't really use Mega that much.... Nopy was best though so hope one day that returns...

Riona keeps surprising me. Initially I wasn't expecting the threesome with Camila, due to only kissing Riona at the Dik party. I thought I had to do the other stuff as well from that one flowchart if I wanted to interest Riona.

And then she shows up with the LIs during the inner-thought thing. Though Sage and Bella were the only selectable ones.

rofl this is on gog too now

This thread is unusually quiet at the moment. It's like the silence before the storm.

If anyone is up for a discussion, I'll open up a topic. What do you guys think that the weird small mirror in Bella's bathroom is about?

I think it's a child's mirror, because it fits with my theory that the locked room is a nursery/baby room, but I also have a suspicion that it might be another of DPC's red herrings. But there's a weird detail there - the nursery/baby room is on the first floor, while Bella's bedroom is on the second floor, which is incredibly weird. Usually you'll want to make the nursery as close as possible to your own bedroom, so you can check on the baby and hear it if it starts crying.

Also putting the nursery on the first floor while your bedroom is at a considerable distance and at a different floor is a huge mistake - in case of a burglary, it's one of the first rooms that the burglar will have access to.

 

[mightybored]

Some people just have small mirrors for doing things. Whether it's also a magnifier for makeup, or so they can look at the back of their head for style/fashion reasons.

The Universal Ren'Py Mod is great for modding and debugging. It isn't the best way to understand game mechanics, reading the scripts is. You can't console hack/mod the game effectively with URM or anything else if you don't know how the scripts work.

And who says I have the basics to understand the readable .rpyc script files of Ren'py games? I didn't state any of that, there was an assumption that since I want to learn there had been a study BUT it's not MY case so are there any basic python sources with associated Ren'py knowledge I can draw from (please NOT official sources)?

There isn't one. To understand how RenPy games work, you need to understand the code & engine behaviour. The only way to do that is the documentation, reading posts about RenPy development/coding, and looking at game scripts to see how devs do things. Start with some basic tutorials to understand how RenPy works.

Please could you tell me if you can something more pratical (even if you want in private) so that I can orient myself with something tangible?

Everyone, as you amply demonstrated by posting a huge list of variables you don't understand? Who do you think has time to document hundreds of variables & describe what they do? Keeping in mind most of them do nothing of interest. Only a few console hacks get posted, because only a few are useful enough to be requested. If you want to compile all the console hacks that have been posted, then go for it. Anything more complicated or specialised requires using mods, or digging around in the scripts yourself.

That's not true... everyone who doesn't work with the Ren'py engine (so outside of that business) BUT a good chunk of developers do with the """porn games""" that are covered on this forum. I mean... any good developer souls reading this and can help me out?

You previously said you already know the basics of using the console to change variables. The information you need to understand what variable to change, and how that will influence the game can only be found by understanding the scripts.

I have to roll up my sleeves up then, there is DIRTY work coming my WAY!

Explaining how to mod in any detail is well beyond the scope of a game thread. But here's a BaDIK specific example which has previously been discussed (the follow example) →

Thank you so much for all the answers you have given me...I will obviously make good use of them and keep the information that came out updated to the best of my ability!

That's what I was TALKING about, do you have others?

PS: You should put that variable list image inside a spoiler, it's bad practice to post an image which dominates the screen that much.

I'm still new to answering WITH responses that HAVE some sizes and lengths on the forums so I apologize...I've already fixed it!
