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

[Jman9]

That was different. The previous bug was about 'away' being stuck at zero. Trait King's issue is that __neronero is a sadist (BTW, good job, grasshopper ) and sends your girl away for as long as the game's been going on, and another week on top for good measure. You can still wait until she comes back from that multi-month gangbang tour or whatever she was rented out to.

Stressing once again that, while I am a coder by profession, I have deliberately avoided looking at the BK code in almost all cases. But...

This whole issue of girls failing to return sounds like there is a piece of code that runs daily that checks each away girl to see if the return date matches the current date.

I think I have suggested this before, but it seems like a simple sanity check to prevent this problem would be instead of checking for matching date, check for whether the return data matches or is in the past. That way, no matter what glitch (or cheat) resulted in the girl missing her return date, the "in the past" would trigger and return her.

I downloaded it today, from the link in the mod thread.

This whole issue of girls failing to return sounds like there is a piece of code that runs daily that checks each away girl to see if the return date matches the current date.

Not exactly, there is a list of 'events' that are processed, and 'returning from a quest' is one of many such 'events'. Nevertheless, you're right that it would indeed be prudent to change the check to account for stuff that was supposed to happen in the past.

Edit: Although this particular problem should actually not affect quests in the last patch, since that one already does use '< self.date'. There might be something else screwy, but it's hard to tell without a save, one from an old version at that. /edit

There is another issue that may or may not impact the vanilla game: if the game takes too long to process all the events, Ren'Py can butt in and cut the process short. I've only seen it affect myself, though.

I downloaded it today, from the link in the mod thread.

So? Since has nobody reported this bug before, the problem is still in (and quite likely a few others besides, knowing _neronero ).

Thank you for your sacrifice Sangera I patched the Trait King files so it won't happen in the future. (same download link)
I wish your lucky girl all the very best during her multi-month gangbang tour. She'll go down in Trait King history as one of the greats, unfortunately for you.

Like all the other great whores who have "gone down" in history?

Just a side note to this whole issue of girls not returning. It sounds like we have a glitch somewhere that occasionally results in not all return events getting processed on the correct day. Jman alluded to one possibility. No way to know if that's the root of this recurring problem, as it's a rare and unpredictable bug.

But I wanted to note that there is a super easy way to replicate the problem. And it's one that was the original reason I first encountered it many moons ago. And it's likely responsible for at least some of the reports of the problem over the years. I hinted at it above.

One of the cheats in the cheat menu allows you to skip days. Skip X days forward or backwards. This cheat will super easily jump right past the return day for most any away event.

If it was only the cheat causing this, I would not be as concerned with a sanity check. You cheat, you accept that you may break the game. But there is enough indication that there is some other rare glitch going on to make it IMHO well worth fixing any system that sends girls away to check for past return dates.

I'm not much of a computer guy (as evidenced by my tweeting my junk to everyone and losing my Congressional seat) but it seems that when I try to copy the patch files over, the game always crashes on me.

Can't someone upload the latest game including the patch so there's just one thing to download and install? Is it that complicated a procedure?

At least the latest patch (and probably before) does account for time travel. I just tried, sent a girl on a two-day quest, jumped three days into the future and voila, she was back like a dog with a frisbee.

It might be it's a legacy save's issue, a deeper problem, or something different. There are actually several layers of events in the event queue system, so all kinds of weird side effects are possible. But I think unless we get a current save that specifically exhibits the 'away for good' issue, there's not much that can be done about it.

Can't someone upload the latest game including the patch so there's just one thing to download and install? Is it that complicated a procedure?

No more than installing the patch in the first place. It is tedious and wasteful of bandwidth.

One could ask the F95 uploaders to apply the patch the game first, since they're rehosting the whole thing anyway. They tend to be overworked people, though.

It's not that it's complicated. It only take a few min at best. The only thing you need to do is just copy/paste the things in the patch to the brothel king-pc/game folder. It's take more time to upload it somewhere. But oh well

You must be registered to see the links

You only need to add some girl pack to it.

Understood. This time, I copied everything and it's working fine. Not sure what I did wrong the last time...

Having issues with meeting the earth Kunoichi yet again and it's not letting me advance to the next chapter since I already have over 5k gold

2nd & 3rd meeting with each Kunoichi is random location in their district. You'll eventually meet them.

Also see FAQ, but you haven't run into anything unusual yet. Makabishis can bypass 1st & 2nd meetings' minigames; 3rd meeting is unwinnable but a specific one is needed to progress.

Or what do you mean by "issues with meeting the earth Kunoichi yet again"?

If this isn't the place for bug reports, please let me know. Since HHS went down I haven't been sure where to go. I got the following exception immediately after meeting the catgirl for the first time.

```
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

Welcome to our temp home!

Please post this traceback.txt inside spoiler tags to save display space.

Issue posted before, with discussion in following posts, could probably find by searching thread for key error phrase like "unsupported operand".

Solution waiting on Goldo, or you could experiment with Jman's suggestions.

Ask if you want an earlier patch, to try reverting before this change.

what means a girl have a "Negative Fixation" and how i remove it?

 

[__neronero]

what means a girl have a "Negative Fixation" and how i remove it?

It means she thinks a certain sexual act/position/fetish is icky and she feels uncomfortable with performing or training it.

You get rid of it through training. Under "Special Training" you can select "Remove negative fixation" once you've discovered that she has one.

So i tried installing the update patch by extracting it into the games folder but after i try running the game the following error keeps showing:

Sadly i abandoned the game, she was one of my best but she was one with +200% upkeep and just drained the coffers with no end, so i moved away, i wish her luck with whatever the guild does with her afterwards.

The issue is that now I can't pass to the next level - Upgrade brothel with the 5k. Given that the ''Meet with earth Kunoichi'' quest is above the next level quest
