VN Ren'Py Defending Lydia Collier [v0.16.2 Hotfix] [White Phantom Games]

[Varrilete]

i found out that if u load an older save, from day 7 for example u have no bugs hope this helps someone having bugs with the laptop

Right before you go to visit Lydia with your old boss in the safe house use the code on the app but use 5 or above then go to messages pay 10 pounds and then go to the photo app and add her.

I understand that earlier we should get access to Whistle to get some info what wouldn't change much the main story,but now I'm on new update and I can't simple progress without it. Really not in the mood to go all over again. I rather play something instead breaking my brain with all those puzzles...If nowhere in story was mentioned that in one moment we can't progrees any more because we didn't done something in let say 3 updates earlier,it's unfair to block the progress now. I got couple of saves,but i'm not gonna check them all to try to get into stupid app. I also tried to put all 10 diffrent AW numbers codes and nothing. if you dev, already planned for story to progress step by step in only direction,give us hints what to do and when,so we don't end up like idiots in the middle of update,just because it looks cool in your head playing a OO7.

You don't need the Whistle ID to progress. Look at my above comment to see what to do to proceed. Also, I just noted that while Review Team will let you see profiles (strengths and weaknesses) of team members, it seems there's not a way to back out, other than rollback (unless I'm missing something).

If I'm right and you can't back out properly other than choosing another team or clicking Join XYZ Team, I suggest saving when asked if you're ready (so you see the Yes! standard Ren'Py choice on screen). Use Review Team to see what jobs you want to assign to whomever, then reload at the Yes! prompt. When shown the Review Team button again, ignore it. Just click the photos on the left of individuals on the team to choose them, and the proceed to assign your choices to suspects.

Well .. here is the thing .. Chloe is still a skank, luring Ellie into exhibition and
veering into what another of Ellies skank friends does 4 money

Okey maybe i will replay this at one point. But right now this whole game get too complicated. I was able to continue at the end without using wistle or the phone or laptop. usualy i klick on it and exit right away and continue with the story, pick random investigates and so on. And how is Chloe?

 

[Call of Booty]

That should only happen if you ask to join the team. You're the team leader already and already have access; you're having the team do the investigations for you. Don't try to join the team; choose the other button (I can't remember how it's labeled) and continue from there. Basically:

1. You read the thumb drive contents from Bedivere to learn about the suspects.
2. When you are to pick your team, exit your laptop and then proceed to the suspects screen.
3. Select 3 people to investigate and proceed. (Do not choose Join Kylie's Pub Crew! unless you happen to know the Whistle ID; I don't know that the game has this yet, although I might have missed where it is found.)
4. Choose a single member of the team to do the investigation into the given suspect (presented one at a time).
5. Confirm when ready; at night, you should have the chance to see the results of the investigations made.*

*At least, in theory. Right now, when I click the new icon on the laptop to see investigation results, I get a blank area (purple outline with black background) showing up, but nothing populates in it. This could be several problems, so someone with better knowledge of Ren'Py / Python (or WhitePhantom himself) would need to weigh in on the issue. Presumably, you're supposed to see each suspect and whatever the investigator could find out on them.

Thanks it worked only with blonde police woman with white eyebrows

Are you saying that's the only one from the police you can choose successfully, or that only the police team worked for you? Because I've used the pub team successfully as well; I'm still going through my other routes, so I'm not quite through all of the teams yet.

I started with police team first and only that girl worked. I saved before and I will try other options after. Now I have no clue who to chose to get arrested if necessary from 6 suspects,damn. Lol

 

[Haremm lover]

which three to pick for investigation? I think we require a walkthrough.

See my post above; the skills (strengths and weaknesses) of each person should help you pick the team and the individuals for each mission.

Good work, but it is not helping at all. I dont now what to do with this infos. Because reading all this shit is MY weakness. I am not nativ english. I even dont now where all this people are, we have to investigate. So pls just say what we have to click or maybe it dosent matter.

I don't really think that will work for this game right now. "Click here", "click there" is something nobody knows right now, because all of the people have different reasons for why they might be bad. You should wait until the game is finished, then, and see if someone has a walkthrough at that point. There is too much mystery still to know which choices are best.

is police force avail on steph route? i can see her on police team in vanessa route but she's not avail.

 

[Skylaroo]

This game is becoming too complicated for my wooden brain. It's a good game, but I guess this is time for separation

What's complicated about it? Even without walkthrough you can choose random options and see the results and after that go back and choose differently. And cookiemonster has done an excellent job of summing up important keywords that help you choose wisely. IMO the game is too good to drop it but that's your decision of course.

 

[cubba]

Whenever you get on the computer, you go look at the folder data, you go search the news on the pest control babe and on the surgical enhancement babe, you open both news outlets and open top stories.

Game needs to mine data out of that to continue.
You meet pest control babe, you have ta go on laptop to search her on the webs.
You meet surgical maniac babe, you have ta look her up on your computer.
You talk to Lydia and find out some more babe names, you have ta look them up on your computer.
The babes from the firms are in the news feeds, you have ta find Danielle and Eve in the news.
Yennifer is in the search the webs app, so go do the search in there.

The phone is about getting SMS from your babe - go 4 the speech bubble button from down right.
The phone is also where you get your pictured from your ex, your paralegal, Lydia sis + others.

The game pings you every time you need to go on the laptop to look at CCTV footage,
check out Dani or Eve in the news, receive E-mails from Dani or Vane with evidence,
research pest control or surgical field, work on those ...

Yup, just what I said. It's work, not fun
Right now the game just gets more and more annoying to play.
It's feels like watching a good movie and the things you described above are the commercials you have to endure before you can keep watching.
And you can't really get around this because: "Game needs to mine data out of that to continue."

Anyone know what the Whistle Id Codes is:

Some people just want an easy to follow enjoyment, they are not that much into digging into different news websites, social media channels, etc. to search information they are not interested in. It is getting exhausting. And trying different options (try and error) is not everyones suit too.

I can get into it, but not everyone likes to get into the Meta Game. The Dev/Author wants to tell us a deep story and thats awesome, but some guys might think he is going to far with it.

 

[-CookieMonster666-]

is police force avail on steph route? i can see her on police team in vanessa route but she's not avail.

I don't think so, although there might be a special condition that allows it. But otherwise, you can do The Boys, The Pub Team, or Ironstar. No Police on the Steph route, AFAIK.

 

[Canto Forte]

Please be understanding .. you might not get the Whistle pass to work if you are not on Ellie path.

All whistle is good 4 now is draining you 4 money and actually helping one of Ellies dear friends sell skimpy/nude photos of herself 4 money. Ellies other friend is doing ”escort” jobs with her conspiratory ”mom” and ”dad”, to which she is enteitaining her sugah daddy and his work buddies, helping him land business ventures with foreign entities and govt deciding wigs - to which Ellie is opposed to doing herself. The skank you can get STD from in a toilet and estrange Ellie is ready to conscript Ellie into pleasuring many dudes 4 money, or pleasuring her sugah daddy with all of her body in order to help him use the skank on his business buddies and land a hefty pay day.

I want to put Marissa in her place! Period! But ... dev would not have any of it.
What did y”all do with her this time around?

Anyone know what the Whistle Id Codes is:

Please read a couple a pages and get your bearings ... this game has many routes, MC cannot save anyone and whatever he does, a lot of people end up hurt around him regardless of his choices.

You need check her moments in office before going to meet Lydia and use code, I use xprivchloexAW9. then in car she write you in wisthle

In The Pioneer on the laptop, the article where the "Foreign Secretary defends Intelligence Services" states, a few paragraphs down, that there are "hard-working women and women" in the intelligence services. I have no doubt that multiple groups of women in the services work hard, but I would guess "men and women" or "women and men" is intended here.

MC needs to read the Whistle on Ellies computer and find out about her friends,
then Mc can add them in the moments app,
then MC can follow them and see their pictures,
then MC can find out Chloe has a nude campaign going live on Whistle.

These it is where Mc has to log the Whistle ID of Chloe and get in touch with her
through the speeck bubble as SMS.

I want to stop the car and yank the skank from becoming bukkakke fodder, but the game just has me kind a recognize her but not quite ... yeah, MC cannot save anyone from the life they live.

I want to stop the beauty on my tail from Ironstar when I talk to her, because I later learn
there are millitia vs. guerilla wars being fought in my biulding because of me and she is cannon fodder.

I cannot do any of that. this game is one open wound based on what motherless MC knows 4 a fact:
you never chase anyone, all that dos is turn them away to the point they will regret ever meeting you.

All we can do as MC is follow our own path, learn to live and survive among trained assassins and
MI5 personnel actively engaging private millitia TITAN or other rogue tactical personnel
just to keep us focused on finding Charles and not get killed or kidnapped in the mean time.
