I made a Samus Pack. I did at best a mediocre job of tagging with one hand. B+ , Has a bk.ini that I took from the amazing Araminth's bayonetta pack, and edited to fit Samus. I mention that incase there are leftovers from Bayonetta and to give credit. Feel free to edit all that jazz.

Need some assistance. Im in the middle of coding a new interface / skill tree and I want to do stuff with stats like "rank", "love", "fear", etc.
I can call stats like "body" and "charm" perfectly fine, but when calling those mentioned above I get the following error:
Can I get around this without editing the game files? I just need the raw number to start experimenting with some interesting talents (like scaling skill changes with love, or gaining x amount of jp the higher the fear modifier is)
Code:
$ inspect_test = girl.get_stat("body") ##This works
$ inspect_test2 = girl.get_stat("fear") ##This doesn't work

It works for fear, and also for love and rank, thanks!
As a side note im gonna try to implement some unique but hopefully balanced effects (1 skill point costs 1000 gold, although I still recommend the game on the hardest difficulty)
(this basically converts all Refinement into Libido)
The actual adding of pics is simple. Just drop them in the same directory. The thing that takes some work is tagging/naming the pics correctly. Most of the regular pack makers use the Tagging Tool, linked on the OP of this thread. It's a tool built specifically for tagging image/video files for BK.
Get the tool, put the existing pack in the "game/image" directory under the tool's folder, then add your new pics into the pack's folder. Run the tool, and you can name all the new images with a few clicks. You may want to generic the file names of the new pics first to avoid the tool getting false positives from the existing file names. I normally use a bulk renamer tool to name all file to something like aaaa00001.jpg before I start on a pack.
An alternative for folks on windows, you can bulk rename a bunch of files without using an external program. Just select everything, right click on one file, and rename that file, and Windows will automatically rename everything to the same name and append a number at the end to avoid naming conflicts.

It's advisable to use
girl.get_love() and girl.get_fear(), because there may be love/fear-scaling effects involved and you ignore them by calling the raw stat.Rank is okay.
This has the reverse problem: girl.change_stat() applies all sorts of boosts. If your girl is e.g. 'Slutty', then you convert Refinement into 1.25 the value in Libido.
You can access raw stats via
girl.stats[X].value. X runs from 0 to 7 in the same order as the stat display. Sex skills use sex_stats instead of stats.

Aaahh, I kinda like that actually, allowing a low chance for some synergy. But I will definitely use the value method, too!
The skill tree should be balanced with 3 things; 1 skillpoint costs 1k gold (the game needs more Gold sink imo), each augment can only be purchased once, and they have downsides like negative effects and locking out other skills from the tree. Example:

If you like it and want to use it, go ahead. I just figured you'd like to know what you're getting into. 
I like the idea, but... Honestly, if I were you, I'd collaborate with Goldo and get these things integrated into the game as some sort of alternate perk system, with their own screen and all. Maybe make a mod and ask for mod hooks if Goldo doesn't want to complicate the game as is.
Some other remarks: I would personally make some new traits/perks for these effects instead of just changing values behind the scenes. The only problem would be whether the UI can accommodate all these new entries, but didn't the perks part get scrollability at some point?
1K seems pretty low to me, actually. Go and check how much Wyvern Eggs and Jewel Bags cost, 1K is not a real money sink come mid-game.
Group +2 and all sex skills -1 ends up with group +1, since group sex must also have a sex act. Seems kinda lackluster to me.

If Goldo is down, I'd be delighted to send over the code once it's finished and see if he can work some magic to implement it into the game.If you like it and want to use it, go ahead. I just figured you'd like to know what you're getting into.

Since I know jack-all about coding I still can't for the life of me figure out how to make a mod, or how to bring up a list of girls and select one so that the code applies specifically to her, etc. That's why I have to copy/paste the code into each of my girl packs, with unique names for all my labels (label girlname_*), otherwise the whole thing breaks.
I have ideas for gameplay, and I'd be super happy to write events and dialogue (especially lewd ones), so if we do a collab I'd probably be the most useful in relation to these things.

In that case you're adviced to make an account at
Making a mod isn't hard. Take e.g. the Headhunter, copy the mod file over and change the info. Writing it is a bit more complicated, but you're already doing the most important parts. Hooking things into mod structure or getting Goldo to add mod hooks is relatively easy compared to that.
As to events, Goldo's been inviting people to write events for years. I imagine he'd be delighted to get a new writer.

How can I navigate to an entirely fresh screen? I tried "Hide('main_menu')", "hide screen right_menu" and a bunch of other things like changing scenes (scene black), even placing these lines in several locations, but the main menu keeps following me like a dyslexic chicken.
First I open a menu, code taken from King's Way mod, to select a girl. That box in the bottom-right should hide itself AND the main menu, but it's not doing anything.
Then after the girl is selected the menu comes back in its full glory
This is the current code setup for the selection screen that should call the Mod label (note that I still haven't removed some parts from the KW mod, first I'd just like to make it work):
Edit: also, after the last label runs, the game quits to the main menu (even with "return")

Something like this:
Code:
selected_destination = result # as a string, e.g. "augment_main"
jump teleport
Code:
action (SetVariable("selected_destination", "augment_main"), Jump("teleport"))Note that 'teleport' is Goldo's custome label that does all the hiding and stuff, it's not a built-in Ren'Py feature.
That is oddly specific.

Thank you, it works! Do you know how to return back in the main brothel screen? Teleport only works for labels and I don't know what the correct one is. The "return" command sends me in the Renpy main menu.
Teleport back to "main" or "brothel" don't work.

Don't know what the problem was exactly but after I deleted the original girlpack I used for the skill tree, it fixed the issue. Teleporting there and back now works perfectly. Somehow even managed to make that pesky "mods" tab close automatically.
About saving the game: this is the line that ensures everything is saved correctly, right?
Hopefully I can stop bothering you guys now that I have (some of) the modding fundamentals down

You probably had some duplicate variables overwriting each other.
Yes.
defaulting the mod template or doing something else that makes Ren'Py store the variable in one of its stores would also work.

How difficult is it to keep a girl with high fear stat for a longer period of gameplay? I'm thinking about a skill that would give 1 point randomly split between the 8 main skills for every point of fear the girl has (max fear is 125), then reset the girl's fear to zero.
Because if it's difficult, the challenge itself would be raising the fear that high without the girl running away.
If it's not difficult, I'll have to nerf it somehow, like 1 point per 2 fear value for example.
Asking because I never did an evil playthrough.
