VN Ren'Py College Kings [Act 1 v1.4.13] [Undergrad Steve]

[WastedTalent]

Basically, the last update to College Kings 1 was really broken and the best solution was to move it to a separate game. They are also changing a lot of how the game works (like the fighting system) and the coding so I guess this was the best time to do it.

Any idea what this "rework" entails?or is it going to be the same or will new routes open up? like a harem or losing the points system and consequences? because I would like to see if it's better but I guess my idea of better may not be the same as the dev's...

Okay, I found the problem, fixed it. When I tested this it runs just fine when you just click "PLAY NOW", and it runs fine if you use the path builder. It was fascinating to examine the code, it's quite... involved! Had to search all over, not knowing it. Anyhow, I attached a ZIP with the RPY and RPYC files that needed changing. Backup the ones like t his if you wish then replace them with this one.

DEVS: I added line 95 (copied line 94) and changed Show("path_builder") to Jump("v1_start").

 

[Crusader of Romance]

I'm kinda confused now, so is there any new content or did they just change coding and fixed stuff?

Part 3 in the update is new content. Get to it through "Path Builder".

Saves don't work at the moment. You have to use the Path Builder to select your past choices. Advanced settings can sometimes make the game crash if selected before you select girls.

 

[JenMistress]

View attachment traceback.txt Bloody hell, I can not get any where with this "Path Builder". Thought, maybe I would be able to start the game maybe if I skipped helping Chloe with the elections, which I picked because I was originally playing both sides in the election, so I only clicked help Linsey, and when it got to the scene saying how did you help her, BOOOOOOM! Now this error message popped up, WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whats the changes in this one? Just bug fixes?

Gallery Unlocker (College Kings 2-v3-0-1)

This is a simple work around to unlock all the scenes in the gallery.

Replace scene_gallery.rpy file in game -> main_menu -> scene_gallery folder and overwrite it. Then delete scene_gallery.rpyc.
(May change in future depending on author's code)

To do it yourself manually:
1. Open scene_gallery.rpy in a text editor (Atom, VScode, anything)
2. Scroll to line 94:

action Replay(gallery_item.label, scope=update_scope(gallery_item.scope))


3. Replace it with:

action Replay(gallery_item.label, scope=update_scope(gallery_item.scope), locked=False)


4. Save file and exit
5. DELETE scene_gallery.rpyc

any walkthroughs available? hero?

 

[JenMistress]

OK, seems the errors are with the election, so since no one is helping me here, managed to get it started by bypassing the choices for the election, I guess I'll just be ignoring the election, like I'm feeling ignored here, and continue on. Granted, errored at the fight, but ignoring that error brought up the game with a win at the fight, so fine.

View attachment 1744044 Trying to rebuild my path, and when it is to the point of reentering what we did for the election, I keep getting this.

This is a REALLY tough one to track down. They certainly didn't program this game to be easy to debug! But it appears to me to maybe be a problem in "phone_simplr.rpy" on line 42 which reads:

[B]return "images/nonplayable_characters/{0}/{0}_profile_picture.webp".format(self.name.lower())

(none of the filenames end in "_profile_picture")

and I think it should possibly be:

return "images/nonplayable_characters/{0}/{0}.webp".format(self.name.lower())[B]

...I am uncertain and I have no way to test this, but if you load that file into a text editor, and change that line (making certain you backup the original first) then saving it, the game will automatically recompile it and use your changes. IF that is the problem, it might fix it. if it is not... well... it could be just as bad. LOL... then restore the original.

Your error mentioned something about "Could not find substitution 'v3'", which is saying there's a variable called "v3", obviously used in generating the filename, but I see no such variable in the game (which is the problem, it doesn't exist and this is why it is complaining).

Now working. Thanks

I'm still playing through the first game. Got past where I left off a couple months ago and I just got to the following scene where I burst out laughing. Love the name of this achievement! Love the humour in this game.

This is where you let her sleep with Ryan instead of yourself (saving Ryan from getting an STD). Too funny...

I managed to get past this error by not selecting anything in Advanced until after Step 4.

That didn't help, but you at least tried to help, so thank you.

 

[Crosaith.]

I'm seeing a lot of issues being posted.

Is season 1 properly working and good to go? Or... should I just hold off?

 

[MarkosNZ]

Is there any new content or just bug fixes?

 

[224488]

Your loss.

Yeah, it is. I used to like this game, but then it turned out to be awful. It´s a pity. And dev´s loss, of course, since at first all reviews were five stars, and now there are a lot of terrible reviews. This game at first seemed a decent try to clone "the game that shall not be spoken", just not so professionally done, but now is just another amateur and badly written game about college life, only more heavy and with more bugs than other similar ones like AOA Academy or The best days of our lives.
