VN Ren'Py College Kings [Act 2 v5.3.0] [Undergrad Steve]

[TroubleMaker69]

any walkthroughs available? hero?

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).

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").

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.

 

[Crusader of Romance]

As it is now, the first game doesn't have a real ending. They haven't updated it yet. Playing it will automatically lead into what has become College Kings 2 content. There are also some bugs, most having to do with loading old saves, but you shouldn't have too many problems if you start a new game (except for some green text up in the corner, but someone found a fix for that). You can try and find version 13 or 14, as they were more stable (but they lack some minor bug fixes themselves) however version 13 doesn't have the part that will be the end of the first game. There's also a risk that saves from older versions won't work well in College Kings 2.
The best would be to play the Steam version of the game but it is playable.

 

[Crusader of Romance]

Yes, part 3 in College Kings 2 is new content.

Okay, thanks. That sounds like more trouble than it's worth. It's surprising af that they started a 2nd season with those kind of issues remaining. I'll wait for the Steam version.

They started it mostly because of all the issues. The last version had a lot of major problems because of all the old code and the major size the game had grown into so they felt it was easier to start a new game and import saves from the first one. Clean it up.

 

[MarkosNZ]

Is anybody able to launch the game on Mac? I just get errors even using the Renpy launcher

Where did you get a Mac version and can you upload please?

 

[fishbrain]

Where? The version in OP is the same one I uploaded - the versioning is just weird. We probably will see a bugfix release today/tomorrow though.

Ah ok. The one I downloaded says 3.0 but the headline now is 3.0.1, I figured that was the bugfix. Never can be sure with version numbers.

 

[Ragnar]

They're turning Chloe into a self centered unlikeable cunt. You can see how at the beginning she was written as a sweet girl and now she's an insufferable bitch.

 

[A_Moreno]

Hey guys!
Why do i have crash in the start of the game at step 5? It says something about real life mode, but either i go with enable or disable, both ways i have crash. Can anyone help please?

 

[zaqrwe]

I've got to ask, I just started season 1 and there is this ugly green line of text in the top left corner of the screen. Can it be turned off somehow?
