VN Ren'Py Being a DIK [v0.11.1] [DrPinkCake]

[STNeish]

So, I thought I'd try something, but it's not going as I expected.
In the past, I would go into some of these kinds of games and edit the text a bit here and there, to suit my particular tastes (for example, I don't much enjoy dirty talk, so I usually tweak such dialog to be a bit less... unpleasant). However, in the past it's only been HTML games, and those were easily done. Not so for Renpy games.

So, I found out about UnRen, and I tried to use that. The instructions said to put it in the folder with the game's .exe file, and run it... which I did. I used options 1-6 in the list (Extract RPA, Decompile RPYC, enable console, quicksave, quickload, enable skipping and enable rollback).

After that, I don't know what to edit.

I went into Game/Scripts/Episode 9 (and other similar folders) and opened update9.rpyc with Notepad. It took some time to open, and when it did, was completely unitelligible, all chinese kanji. This is how every file I try to open looks. I'm kind of stuck.

I must be missing something, anyone able to offer me some guidance?

Use translator ++

So what are the odds on when the end of episode, MC is incapacitated and might actually die cliffhanger is gonna be? This game is getting primed for it with all the drug dealer shit and every VN has one just to piss people off.

My bet is the season finale in episode 12.

Well, it will depend on who DPC decides the mc fights against.

I don't much enjoy dirty talk

And you decided to play porn games?

And you decided to play porn games?

It reminds me of another guy. Who made some mods for a few games where he took out every swear word. I don't think they were very popular, he didn't even replace them with bugger or something. It just looked like "you ______ ____"

 

[STNeish]

I just don't enjoy it. Same with the anal content, I just don't enjoy it. I don't condemn anyone else enjoying it, to each his own. The dialog, at least, I can adjust. Other stuff I can't adjust, I can usually avoid.

Everyone has their own particular tastes.

Not even having Spider-Man punch the words into something more kid friendly?

I've been trying various translators, they don't do anything. That is, I paste the text into one side, and the other side stays blank instead of putting an English translation. This is part of why I keep thinking I'm doing something wrong, perhaps opening the wrong file? Did I put UnRen in the right folder?

UnRen goes in the same folder as the exe file. If you put it in the wrong place, it won't work and tells you it can't find it. (So if it ran, it was in the right place).

Like many people say: Incest = wincest.

I was a top commenter in r/wincest until it got taken down actually on my previous reddit account.

Do you want to discuss Bella's story with me without sounding like an idiot, or do you want to continue taking everything I write literally?

I genuinely thought you might be willing to expose a fact that I missed somewhere along the way, but I'm starting to think you're just messing with me at this point.

I'm pretty sure that I exposed the fact that your complaints are fixated on James. You feel the need to inflate that with hyperbole. People do that when they at least on some level realise that their arguments are insufficient.

We can say that James will appear at some point. It would be anti-climactic if he didn't. The characters however can't expect this. To them James being alive is a big "what if". There are more pressing matters to consider.

MC turning up in her life started the process of Bella moving on. This process will not be instantaneous. We are shown multiple times how Bella worries about being unfaithful. We are also shown her to be a very private person. It is to be expected that she will not easily voice her worries and MC is smart not to press her on that.

We do know that Bella and James met in college. We don't know how their relationship progressed or when they got married, but they might have had as much as 15 years of memories before he disappeared. Moving on from that takes time.

MC and Bella are definitely due a long discussion about James, but they have naturally been distracted by the Jill situation. And now Maya's situation is another distraction. Helping Sage deal with her parents' divorce will be yet another distraction. However, distracting as they are the subjects of family and marriage are bound to spark thoughts in both of them. It's just a shame that when one of them finally says: "We need to talk" James turns up within minutes.

If Bella goes to meet Neil there are certainly possibilities for progress with the "What about James" elephant. However, Neil might also choose not to press her on the matter.

We should also remember that while we have speculated for years, the characters only met three months ago. It is not realistic to expect immense progress.

• Is Bella married or a widow?
• If Bella is married, where is her husband?
• Does Bella consider herself a single woman after almost 3 years since her husband disappeared?
• If Bella still considers herself a married woman, why does she want to try something with the MC?
• Is she looking for something serious or casual since her husband may still be alive?
• Does the reason she wears a ring mean that regardless of how she feels about the MC, she is waiting for James to come back so she can resume her marriage?
• Is she psychologically prepared to move forward and have a new romance with the MC?
• How much does she want their relationship to work? Is she willing to have her career and reputation ruined because of it?

Thousands of questions could be asked, but Bella only mentioned the handbook and Jill as the main problems... What a joke! Even the MC the next morning recognizes that they did not address all the topics necessary to move forward with a relationship.

1) yes, but I think it was a rhetorical question, unless you believe in the theory of Bella as the child of the sixth sense

2) good question, hopefully DPC knows. all we know is that he is being held somewhere, we don't even know why

3) the most interesting thing to me is that Jill thinks Bella is a single woman right now, because she doesn't hold it against her that she's married but only that she went behind her back. however to stay with the question: Bella comes to consider herself free, initially she still feels completely committed

4) temptations work like this. the first season in my opinion is quite terrible for the relationship between MC and Bella who seems to take advantage of the latter's nymphomania until the scene in the library which then magically erases everything. Bella doesn't want to, at one point she gives in to temptation and overcomes her guilt

5) as said before: she doesn't want anything, she gives in to temptation but when she gets rid of her guilt she automatically becomes a serious relationship.

6) not knowing her husband's fate, Bella can only consider herself still married. when James returns, because he will return or his fate will be revealed, she will come to terms with that part of her life

7) Bella's journey has been so long that at this point of the story the answer is yes, of course we have to see how psychologically solid Bella is in absolute terms, since everything is worth to her.

8) also on this point the answer is clearly yes, since she apparently decided to hide any risks to her career with MC due to an affair with a student

Guys,

yesterday I replayed the game after a whole years (or so), and I found out that the 64bit .exe wasn't working on my PC - Windows 10 - anymore. The 32bit .exe is ok, but whenever I run the 64bit exe the game won't start: it simply doesn't happen anything at all.

I wonder why, I wonder whether it only occured to me, and I wonder whether it will be a problem when the new update comes out and I will merge the update file into the old game.

Any ideas?

No clue, I'm on Windows 10 and it still runs fine on 64 bit, both season 1 and 2 on Steam as well as season 3 downloaded through here.

Have you tried to update any drivers that might be outdated and are you on the most recent version of Windows 10?

 

[camube]

anyone know if we can use our season 2 steam saves to import to season 3 patreon version?

Yes you can. In the top right of the import screen you can switch between Patreon and Steam.

2) good question, hopefully DPC knows. all we know is that he is being held somewhere, we don't even know why

well i remember at some point Bella said "they said he could still be alive', that and the drunken vision MC had of a dude in a uniform makes me think he's either dead or being held in a cave in Afghanistan and season 3 will be the plot of Homeland

 

[camube]

awesome! thanks

Still waiting for the new update, cause I can't wait for Heather and Elena new content
