Ren'Py Club Detention [v0.0861] [Yorma86]

[Yorma86]

that's likely because _beachguy2 is just a temp variable assigned during event, you gotta change the thing it's referencing.

Sidenote for Yorma86 - while I realize it's otherwise avoidable through the choice menu, it seems real weird Samantha's event at the clothing shop isn't conditional on the bbc stat, particularly because the scene is done in a way which would very much appeal to fans of that stuff, or very much not appeal to dissenters like me heh. It'd be like having a scene where a girl steps on mc's face in heels, yet it doesn't check a 'femdom' stat. I'd assume most players into that stuff would already have the appropriate stats.

Yup. That would be something like: Update_Var_For_Char(natalie, "beachguy", #)
And swap # for "full" or "supervision" or None, depending what you want.

 

[Badboll]

Well. In contrast to most other dev's, Yorma86 actually knows how to program, and is using object oriented programming, and arrays, instead of 1000 variables for each character. It of course means that changing the value of a variable often doesn't change anything, as they are often just temp variables. The best way to manipulated this game, is to use console commands and call his functions as he does throughout his scripts.

Well Knowing how to program and making what to me who doesn't know how to program something that seems needlessly complicated.
While it might even be easier and more efficient, I can't know since I don't know how to program.
And with that said I wouldn't know what to type in the console to change anything. So that doesn't help.
his way off programming makes it user unfriendly. A toggle for it in the journal or through a conversation with the character would be simple and easy. Same for all NTR related things choices in the future. If you want to change what option you want for a girl.

Yup. That would be something like: Update_Var_For_Char(natalie, "beachguy", #)

would be something like that or is that? there is a difference. I can try and see if it works.
It did in fact not work.

 

[Badboll]

Maybe I should sell courses on how to do this it wasn't on purpose, but maybe I can turn it into something good.

I wouldn't call it good, it's a bad thing in my opinion, but maybe. Some devs get really mad that it's possible to cheat, I've seen devs on here get super mad that someone made a WT or a cheatmod. Ruining the integrity of their "game"
Those guys would love it.

It's "beachguy2".

 

[Yorma86]

It's "beachguy2".

Ah, you're right. My bad.

Heh, sorry. It just had to be done for me to keep my sanity in a game with so many characters with similar stats.

 

[Zbork]

I'm aware, heh. It's just quite a big a task for a game with a bazillion renders.

Certainly a lot of renders, but only the key ones (generally, sex scenes) need adding to a gallery. I'd guess you already have the scenes' renders grouped somehow for ease of handling, so it should be mostly a case of saying "run this scene", no?

 

[GetOutOfMyLab]

Yup. That would be something like: Update_Var_For_Char(natalie, "beachguy", #)
And swap # for "full" or "supervision" or None, depending what you want.

But back to Johnyy's question... are the stats used at all? It kind of seems like these scenes are just firing by default at this point. If I never level up BBC or cheating... what prevents the scene?

 

[Enot1964]

Yeah, I know Lily and Emma have been neglected quite a bit. For the longest time most of the girls were neglected, but I'm slowly working my way through them. I'm working on a continuation for Samantha now, but after that it's either Emma or another Jennifer episode. Depending on whether I can finish up my idea for the next Ace Attorney but (courtroom drama).

Good news! I thought Jennifer had been completely forgotten And I like the other girls mentioned very much.
It was already written above that if possible it would be nice to add additional locations (the appearance of a sex shop pleased me, as well as the possibility to invite Anna to the beach). And Anna's line in the church looks good too. After the introduction of the mini-novella with the “dream” I became very interested in Anna.

Not really, because the way Yorma86 structure his code, actually makes it easier to make WT's and cheat mods.

They're not used a whole lot atm. Some progress is gatekeeped behind stats, but I don't want _everything_ to be behind a stat wall. More club events will require different stats in the future, but that's, well, in the future.

Certainly a lot of renders, but only the key ones (generally, sex scenes) need adding to a gallery. I'd guess you already have the scenes' renders grouped somehow for ease of handling, so it should be mostly a case of saying "run this scene", no?

Maybe, maybe. Even that isn't super simple as my scenes tend to branch and contain a lot of checks for different stats and some past choices.

That's true. Instead of needing to modify 15 x 60 separate variables to change statistics/outfits/girl-specific info, you can just name a stat and the girl and it'll work itself out.

This probably doesn't comfort those who don't know any programming, but yeah.

 

[MasterGamer1234567890]

Yes, I agree with you. I'll be working on one soon. As soon as I figure out what it should look like. If anyone has good suggestions for sandbox games of this nature that have done it well, I could poach some good ideas from them.

Try have a look at The Regional Manager https://f95zone.to/threads/the-regional-manager-v0-171-horizontical-studio.60813/ It's unfortunately abandoned due to the dev. having family issues, but it's a pretty good game IMHO, and I'm sure you can get some ideas from it.

 

[Badboll]

The problem isn't the people who can make mods or know how to code, it's the masses of people who just learn how to change some values with tools people have created that don't know any coding. If it's better/easier well great..
Doesn't help me any. I'd take a game where I can just change a value from true to false and move about my day over convoluted console commands I have no idea how I am supposed to know over this any day of the week. I feel like I am in the majority on this.
Without the cheat code I would still be annoyed about the money grind and the fact that I am now losing money daily instead of the 400-500 I was making daily before. The only change was upgrading the girls and adding the auto replace thing, which I would love a toggle to remove since it can't be working as intended.
It just kicks girls off their spots and doesn't put them in another one despite them having mood over 100 and I tried just letting days go by and 6 girls rotate and the other ones just sit on the bench and you hemorrhage money.
This game is still good though despite the stuff I dislike about it like the grind. I have no doubt that this will be amazing if it gets to a point where it's done.
Art is Amazing for sure.

I'm mega stuck, Game crashed and I have no load button, it will only let me start a new game and even then theres still no load button (help!) Tried to reinstall etc but its still the same

Intentional, start a "new game" and you will see.

 

[MajakMan1]

This whole start a "new game" thing makes me want to flush this entire game.

Spikeyprawn This might also be relevant for you.

Start a "new game" is wrong. It's an intentional crash, and once you start the game again, you should just click on continue and the game will continue, but MC is in a dream world, so some options are disabled and the game will run in VN mode for a while, until the dream ends at which point the game will be back with full functionality. It's all explained in the FAQ section in the first post in this thread.

I understand what the whole premise was, I just think it was a distraction from a good game. To each their own though.

Where do you enter the cheat? I can't find a way, it use to be by talking to Mina, but thats no longer there
