A few questions/possible bugs concerning magic:

1. Kakuzu (Mansion in city industrial): he happily took my 100k, but does he have anything to teach?
Even with magic 100 and spellcasting 100 I still only get this message when I try to learn something there: "You concentrate energy in the sheet of paper. You feel that you are spending a huge amount of mana for this action.
You get tired and sweat like a horse, but your effort was not enough."

2. Kisame (pool in city gym): is there any point to this anime-lookalike mutant? And should I feel bad for electrocuting his rapist ass (seems to be the only NPC in the game that is killed instead of knocked out)?

3. Magic tooth rot: using grooming spells like Shower or Cosmetica seems to count as dental hygiene since the option to brush teeth or use mouthwash is gone afterwards. But the counter responsible for teeth decay seems to ignore them since your teeth get miscolored, and probably worse, when using purely magical grooming (in my case Cosmetica in the morning and Shower several times a day do to a lot of ... physical activity).

1) You get locked into an elemental path once you master that sheet of paper, can take a while from memory.
2) He's a legacy character that'll eventually get removed.
3) Magic teeth, teeth health is newer code and probably hasn't been factored in, I'll bounce that along for review in the next dev cycle.

Sorry, I saw the wedding scene.
How can I get married and who can I marry?:unsure:
That's future content, not sure who, if anyone, can be married but that's likely post-Uni content and most of the material we're doing is the uni years.

To point 1: Alexei already taught me lightning spells. Does this maybe affect/block teachings from Kakuzu? :unsure:
To point 2: Good riddance then :cool:
To point 3: thanks :D

Shouldn't, don't remember been a while since I last looked at the magic stuff because it has so little bearing on the game apart from the basic spells you get from the Fae and the library. Kakuzu teaches elemental magic, so you can get a choice if you want to be locked in to that element.

Dimka quest line seems to have a bug.
He sends you a threatening letter even though you have visited him in the week.

Is it perhaps related to not visiting him on a certain day?

Also as a suggestion Dimka should be available as regular coke dealer. The buying thing at the dance doesn't always show either.

Did some brute force testing.

He was the original sole teacher, it will be expanded to have a teacher for each element. Not sure if Kakazu will be left with just one element or removed from the game.
Leaving him in the game with no element is also an option. Sitting in the corner and rambling like a lunatic about the good old days and - for some reason - animes.

There has been an error in the cum_call code. Please contact a developer with what you were doing prior to receiving this message so the error may be fixed. Error type: Improper value for cum_call. Name Boy from Rex's Party

Known issue and the party is being overhauled, so can be ignored.

Its not really dance music though. Not sure teh Moscow parts would go down great with St Pete's club scene either. :ROFLMAO:
Another song idea for the club (I often used it for the Pav disco for some reason):

Before anyone says it: I am aware that the part about the romanian gypsy queen also could be problematic for the St.Petersburg crowd, but at least it's a kind of dance music :D

Don't worry, he sent me two of those after new year. Hard to pacify him, since going home with him after school isn't an option during winter break and the visit to his home didn't change much.

Also: he should be available for a mayor gang up. Maybe with Lavrenti's help.

Does only the clinic in Pavlovsk have the option to deal with the drug problems? The clinic in the city doesn't seem to have an option.

Buying heroin from the Pavlovsk dealer seems to assume you inject in the text even when you don't.
The alternate text says shoot up instead of smoke. Also that event does not raise the SNarkTimes variable so you can learn later about injecting in the city.
I do not know why the option to stick with smoking is gated behind a willpower check. There should be a more tangible benefit like you having more times between the hits.

Girl Life Bug Report

#1
hookup_morning - starting with line 845 - change the function to this (otherwise, if you can't explore the apartment, you are left with no options to leave):
Code:
if $ARGS[0] = 'late_wakeup':
    act'Continue':
        cla & *clr
        $npc_apt_bedroom[$boy]
        '<<$npc_firstname[$boy]>> doesn''t stir in the slightest as you arise.'
        if npc_apt_type[$boy] >= 3:
            act'Explore his apartment':gt'hookup_morning','explore'
        else
            gt'hookup_morning','late_sneakout'
        end
    end
end
#2
gschool_events - line 1041 - change "whle" to "while"

#3
vasily_home_sex - line 1022 - 'view_pornotv_vasya' - nothing calls this event - change to 'view_pornotv_vasily'

#4
vasily_home_sex - line 958 - act 'Yummy': gt 'vasily_home_sex','start' - There is no 'start' function in this section. Not sure what you're trying to do here. Ends with a blank screen.

#5
Recommendation for developers when using the RAND function:

0 will always be the most common random number rolled followed by 1. If you really want your number to be random you shouldn't start with 0 or 1.

For example, with the card game at Vasily's home, the player almost always wins because of this. I changed it to the following which made who wins more random.

cardgame_durak

Line 195:
if RAND(1,100) <= 60:
Change to:
if RAND(10,100) < 60:

Line 213:
elseif RAND(1,40) < 35:
Change to:
elseif RAND(15,40) < 35:

Draws rarely occur when the code is set to:
elseif RAND(1,40) < 35:

Valuable feedback, but what's your source about the RNG claim? I can't see anything wrong with the rand function. Here's a test of rand(0,9) with million rolls:

EDIT: uh, bad cropping.
Well here's another million:

Nothing wrong with it per se, just an observation from using it a lot. Your results aren't what I've been seeing but I don't doubt your results. Thank you for the info.
