Ren'Py Brothel King [v0.3] [Goldo]

[Jman9]

I've downloaded from HHS and applied patch but I still get same error.

I guess it's an actual bug. Either don't click there (because it does nothing) or change lines 1006-1007 in BKmain.rpy from

        if not result:
            pass

to

        if not result or isinstance(result,NullAction):
            pass

What does the Noble trait does? Cause it doesn't seem to affect prestige gain.

 

[Tbko]

So I've been playing the game for a while now, my problem is that I have to save my game after EVERY action I make because the app is constantly closing itself (mostly when I go into the "Girls" interface, "Slave Market" interface or when they're working), whenever this happens there is no traceback.log.

Sometimes I get an actual crash that talks about some lines in BK_ini (it's been a while since I got that error so I don't exactly remember what the actual error was but I always solved it by clicking "Rollback" until the app fixed itself).

I don't know if those two are correlated errors but I thought it may be the case, what should I do to play without worrying every second about saving the game and losing progress?

So that button has no function? I thought it was supposed to do something, thanks for informing me. I'll just don't click that button.

Also to whoever involved in developing this game, thank you! I'm genuinely enjoying it, looking forward to this game's completion.

It's your MC's prestige gain.

Is there anything useful in one of the log files (traceback.txt, errors.txt, log.txt)? Could be some manifestation of the 'out of memory' issue in relation to your girl packs, since crashing seems to happen when the game is trying to display one of the girl images.

And you say 'app', are you playing the game on a non-PC or non-Windows setup?

Sometimes I get an actual crash that talks about some lines in BK_ini...
...what should I do to play without worrying every second about saving the game and losing progress?

Rollback doesn't really fix such errors.

What you can do is check your girl packs and edit or delete the offending .ini file. There are also some other ideas you could try to make memory issues less frequent.

So that button has no function?

Well, you can click it and there's a 'click' sound. Several interface elements are some variety of 'button' without necessarily being a button that does something. Peculiarities of doing UI in Ren'Py.

Also to whoever involved in developing this game...

That would be Goldo, who is not here on F95.

I'm getting this error in the picture I've attached, is this normal? It's my first time playing this game so I'm not sure what is supposed to happen when I click there. Fyi, I don't have any mods active. I'm just using basic girls pack.

I reported the error in this line Oct 17th, on HHS ver 0.2 forum thread. From creation of "badges" system you can add to remind you about things about your girls.

Not fixed yet; don't click there...

Most frequent cause of crash without traceback seems to be for girlpacks with excessively high resolution images. Check them for filesizes, and move girl folders with files above 400% of the average image size to somewhere else for testing, and use the "?" help system for top right to "repair girl/MC pictures."

Once you find girl folders that may cause problems, you can try putting them back without the highest-res pics, or revising those to lower res.

 

[Purple_Heart]

Ok, thanks everyone. I've got a new question now, is it possible to mod the game so I can train girls more than once in a day? I'm trying to find the code in game files but I couldn't find it.

 

[Jman9]

...is it possible to mod the game so I can train girls more than once in a day?

Yes. BKclasses.rpy, find these lines:

            elif self.group == "train" and girl.MC_interact_counters[self.group] >= 1:
                return False, "You cannot train a girl more than once per day."

Change the 1 to whatever you like (3 is probably enough) and the text as well if you wish.

Thanks dude, I was getting tired of failing training 50% time.

 

[Jman9]

Well, now you'll be failing 3 times in quick succession, or 5, or whatever you put in there.

With my luck anything is possible.

 

[Jemet]

are there videos in here or only pictures for the add-ons?

[Leortha]

Version 0.2 of BK supports video in the girl packs. But it is up to the individual pack maker whether or not they want to include such in a given pack.

I personally avoid them, because they use up a significantly larger amount of space than still video. And the space on my Mega is limited. If I started including video I would start running out of storage apace before too long.

But there are other pack makers that have embraced the idea of including video files in their packs.

And you say 'app', are you playing the game on a non-PC or non-Windows setup?

The log.txt doesn't really show any exception or error that makes the game close itself (I was saying "app" because I'm used to calling whatever projects/programs/apps/websites I'm working on in my job, sorry about that x_x, I use Windows). There aren't any traceback.txt or errors.txt created either.

I followed your instructions and I edited the properties you mentioned in the link you posted, I'm hoping that works

What would you say is the average image size? I have no problem deleting everything above X MBs or above YxZ dimensions.

 

[Leortha]

What would you say is the average image size? I have no problem deleting everything above X MBs or above YxZ dimensions.

One problem with judging the pack size is video. Video images add significantly to the size of a pack. And it's hard to judge if they are contributing to the problem or not. So the numbers I will speak of below do not at all account for video images in a pack, which can dramatically increase the pack size.

I convert all my packs to WEBP and shrink their file size before I release packs. So I can speak easily to pack sizes shrunk and not shrunk.

Taking that into account, any pack over 30-40MB is a large pack. Anything over 50-60MB likely has not been compacted. Anything over 100MB has almost certainly not been compacted.

 

[Jman9]

What would you say is the average image size?

I think the biggest problem is not file size as such, but image resolution. So downscaling the lot in one go is probably a better idea. I might be wrong, of course, since nobody has made an in-depth study or found a definite cause (yet?).

 

[maewen]

Can we add a fixation to a girl in _BK.ini file that she always dislikes?

always_fixations=[] is working all the time but, disliked_fixations=[] is based on chance

I haven't tested it, but it the following lines can be added to your BK.ini under [sexual preferences] to force (or avoid) negative fixations.

always_negative_fixations = []
never_negative_fixations = []
